Sheep Fertility Boosts Crop Yield Despite Poor Start
In 1907 a sheep flock on poor land produced a record corn crop and strong lambs. From 126 western ewes the first year yielded nearly 1,000 lambs and wool, with 92 ewes producing 142 lambs the next year. Lamb quality drew market praise though luck and late lambs affected production this year.
Farm Dairy Hygiene Guidelines For Milk Handling
Instructions emphasize milk from each cow must be taken separately and not left in the barn. If separation occurs on the farm the milk should go through the separator while warm. Cream must be cooled promptly and warm cream must not be mixed with cooled cream. Cover cans with a light clean cloth to keep out dirt while admitting air. Keep the separator clean with abundant water. The text ends with a name, B. Collto.
