Persistence Is the Key to Moulding a Child's Behavior
Afton Smith from the Iowa State University child welfare station argues that long term persistence is needed to change a child’s habits. Family councils and time allowances often fail if the overall family atmosphere treats children as irresponsible. Repeated effort and calm handling are required for behavior to improve.

Time to Drench Sheep Before Pasturing Them
Iowa State College extension expert Francis advises farmers to drench sheep with a phenothiazine and salt mix before pasturing to boost gains and reduce internal parasites. Lead arsenate targets tapeworms, but mixing correctly prevents poisoning. Regular flock checks, summer redrenching if worms reappear, and pasture rotation every 2 to 3 weeks help break parasite cycles and protect young lambs.

Synthetic milk not a pig milk guarantee for Iowa farms
Extension expert Quaife cautions Iowa farmers on using synthetic milk as a sow milk replacement. He notes many lack equipment and strict management, especially in cold weather, leading to pig chilling, scouring, and unsanitary pens. He suggests synthetic milk may aid as a supplement rather than full replacement.
