Leadership and Logistics in World War I Britain and France
General Pershing recalls Allied command, leadership trials, and transport bottlenecks in mid 1917. He cites lack of true Anglo French teamwork, lessons from Haig and Petain, and the push for convoys to move American troops to France while warning of shipping shortages and the need for stronger officer selection. He visits French and British forces, notes supplies and morale, and records Petain decorating a wounded nurse.

Suggested Ration for Fattening Lambs on Grain and Hay
Lambs fattening on a grain and hay diet need less silage than breeding ewes. A full grain feed of about two pounds daily is typical. A steady ration to follow is half a pound grain, two pounds clover hay, and one pound silage each day. Some feeders add a bit of wheat bran for its digestive benefits.

Proper Attention Reduces Piglet Loss at Birth
Citing high piglet mortality at birth and after, the piece urges brood sow feeding with adequate protein and minerals and suitable farrowing quarters. It argues that attentive farrowing care helps, but without proper sow nutrition piglets will die or be weak soon after birth.
Hog feeding tests show minerals raise feed per 100 pounds
Supplementing corn on alfalfa pasture with tannage at one pound was as effective for pigs as two pounds of soy products. A mineral mix of ground limestone super phosphate and salt did not improve a ration of corn and soybeans on alfalfa pasture and increased feed required per 100 pounds of grain. These are results from last year’s hog feeding tests.
Oats for Pigs Tested in Oslo Feeding Trials
Feeding tests in Oslo compare oats with ground corn for hogs. Ground oats with corn gave faster gains and better economics, but when oats were the sole grain, gains did not cover grinding costs. Limited whole oats mixed with corn tankage ground alfalfa and minerals showed limited value as a substitute.
