Beneficial Effect of Sulphur Sprays on New Jersey Potatoes
Demonstration by the U S Department of Agriculture and the state showed that sulphur sprays control potato scab. In an New Jersey field, 600 pounds of sulphur per acre eliminated scab and yielded about 300 bushels per acre of clean potatoes, with prior year plots showing little value. Trials with 150 and 300 pounds per acre had progressively better control. Flowers of sulphur or sulphur dust were used.

Importance of Alfalfa in Dairy Feeding
Dairy cows need high protein feed for profitable milk flow. Alfalfa, cheaper than protein concentrates, suits dairy rations well. Dry cows eat 20 to 25 pounds daily and milking cows 25 to 30 pounds. Alfalfa is cooling and palatable, reducing production costs when substituted for concentrates.
Feeding and caring for breeding beef cows in winter
Breeding cows can be wintered on good legume hay or carbonaceous roughages with some nitrogenous concentrates to balance the ration. The beef cow should maintain body weight on farm roughage while high priced concentrates serve the calf's growth. Regular care with ample water and salt keeps cows in condition and avoids costly weight gain later.

Beet Top Silage Siloing Guide for Beets
A practical note outlines beet top silage as a 31 percent to 6 ton yield per crop with about $1 per ton for tops gathering filling and finishing. Tops must be piled promptly after topping dirt removed and sand eliminated. Use standard corn silage structures though beet tops pack densely and may crack slightly creating air gaps. A well built silo is reasonably safe.

Feed management for sows at weaning time
When pigs are weaned the feed should be cut down to check the secretion of milk. Dry oats make a safe feed for a sow for a few days. If the udder gets very full, it is a good plan to turn the sow in with the pigs once a day for a few days. By this system the sow's milk supply is reduced, and she is dried up gradually.
