Alfalfa as Horse Feed Boosts Young Animal Growth
Alfalfa pasture supports growth in young horses by supplying elements for bone and muscle while mature horses may overreact to its richness. Caution is advised as digestive disorders can arise, especially in the urinary and perspiratory glands, if fed in large quantities. Reduce grain and increase roughage when alfalfa is used heavily.

Live Stock Notes on Breeding and Care
Select long bodied sow pigs for breeders with clean dry sleeping beds and access to a box with salt charcoal and sulphur. Well bred colts from two and a half years old can perform work to pay for their keep. Do not fatten an old sow that has proven a good breeder just because you doubt later litters.
Care of the Harness
Care of the harness is advised by the American Cultivator to keep leather in prime condition. Wash with castile soap and hang to dry. Before fully dry, dip all parts in machine oil to saturate leather, then drain and wipe with flannel. Rat or mice will not gnaw at harness that remains treated.
Kerosene Emulsion Recipe Shared by Farmers Advocate
C P Gillette advises in Farmers Advocate to dissolve one pound of soap in one gallon of water by boiling, then add two gallons of kerosene with vigorous pumping to emulsify. After emulsification dilute to thirty gallons and apply hot or cold.
