Milk Substitute Often Is Needed for Calves
Iowa State College dairy expert E N Hansen says skim milk powder serves as a practical substitute when whole milk or separator milk is scarce. Use one pound of powder to nine pints water at near 100 F, price dictates practicality, and alternatives include a blend of cornmeal oats linseed meal and skim milk powder. Calves need hay and grain, milk for 6 months, then a protein and grain mix, with legume roughage after weaning.

History of a Cigarette in Lips of a Pretty Girl
A satirical prose poem condemns smoking as a seductive trap used by advertisers to ensnare young women. It details nicotine’s grip, health decline, and eventual fatal consequences, ending with a warning about life lost to addiction. The piece blends moral admonition with dated statistics on hog prices and fat cuts from January 1910 and 1920.
Lean pork cut values rise while fat cuts fall
Figures by I. W. Arthur, Town State College marketing specialist, show lean cuts now account for about half the value of heavy hogs in January 1938, with fat cuts contributing roughly 40 percent as fat cuts grow less important to total carcass value.
