New Use for Motor Truck Cranes Construction Aid
A five ton motor truck can be converted into a locomotive type crane for construction work. It uses a steel attachment with a four cylinder gasoline engine producing 30 horsepower to swing and raise the boom and operate a hoisting hook or standard grab. The unmounted crane weighs six tons and uses outriggers with jacks for stability when handling loads.
Clover Failures Serious Problem Prepared by USDA
Clover failure is a major farm issue tied to continuous cropping and soil deterioration. Key causes include soil exhaustion, improper seeding, unfit seed, diseases, and poor autumn treatments, with lime and phosphorus shortages often decisive. If lime is needed, seed won’t help. manure helps but gains rise after amendments. When red clover fails, substitute with mammoth clover for soil restoration.

Substituting Milk for Calves Aids Early Growth
The United States Department of Agriculture outlines a feeding plan for young calves. Start with whole milk the first two weeks, then gradually add a ground grain gruel over the next five weeks, ending with a grain and water feed. Monitor for scours and reduce feed if needed.

Manure Application Benefits Pastures
Farmers can profit by applying five to eight loads of manure per acre to pastures when manure cannot be spread on cultivated land. This avoids losses from piling in the barnyard and delivers immediate plant food benefits, whereas leaving manure to rot wastes value.
Labor hours to produce crops on average per acre
Hay requires ten hours of man labor and ten hours of horse labor per acre. Silage corn needs five times as many man hours and six times as many horse hours as hay. Potatoes and cabbage use ten times as many horse hours. Small grains like oats wheat barley rye and buckwheat need two times man hours and three times horse hours per acre.
Profitable Dairying Tied to Alfalfa Crop
Profitable dairying rests on alfalfa as a primary forage since it supplies much protein and lime needed for milk. High producing cows still require grain, but feeding alfalfa lowers the grain quantity and cost.
Prevent Depreciation of Farm Implements
Two kinds of depreciation exist for farm implements wear from use and rot from storage. Proper housing and regular winter servicing minimize loss, with steps like tight roof sheds, full enclosure, bolt tightening, and sharpening stored tools. J. W. Sjogren notes pre-season prep reduces future labor and preserves performance.

Harness Cleaning and Repairing to Extend Lifespan
Frequent cleaning oiling and timely repairing save time and labor and add years to a harness. Replace worn rivets and temporary fixes with durable repairs. Winter and rain days offer chances to fix stitches riveted splices and worn parts using concord clips conway loops and other repair parts.
Calf Scours Tied to Indigestion and Feeding Habits
Ordinary calf scours stem from indigestion due to excessive or fatty milk. Reduce feed and limit milk intake. offer multiple small nourishings daily. Give about two ounces of castor oil to clean the bowels.
Leaves and Debris Shelter Insects Warned for Winter
Accumulations of leaves and rubbish under hedges and in brush land shelter many injurious insects during winter. Plan cleanups this winter. Fall and early winter burning of grassland is more effective for chinch bug control than late winter or early spring burning.
