Advice from A C Ragsdale head of the dairy department at Missouri College of Agriculture on raising and managing breeding bulls. Emphasizes early growth, restraint from running with cows, controlled service rates, nose rings, dehorning at two, and safe handling to maintain breeding quality and safety.
The article argues dairying yields profits only with high quality cows. It warns that cows producing around Iowa averages yield little beyond manure. It advises farmers to upgrade by acquiring better cows locally and pairing them with a good pure bred bull to grade up the herd.
Dairy cows need minerals based on their feed. Salt should be liberal, and lime phosphorus are essential. In areas with calf goiter, add sodium or potassium iodide. Legume hay supplies lime, while phosphorus comes from wheat bean, cottonseed meal, wheat middlings, and linseed meal. if grain mix uses 20 percent or more of these, phosphorus is abundant. otherwise add steamed bone meal.
Heifers should be started early and kept growing to become profitable cows. Pasture growth benefits from grain supplementation. Summer growth on dry feed often lags behind winter results.
A writer urges placing a sun exposed rack on the south wall to air and wash milk cans pails and strainers. Two by fours create an upside down lean rack. sun germicide slows germ growth when items are properly washed and stored.
The United States Department of Agriculture outlines how climate farming systems and natural enemies affect chinch bug outbreaks.

Dr. Babcock of the University of Wisconsin showed that a cow needs three fourths of an ounce of salt daily per 1000 pounds of live weight and six tenths of an ounce for each 20 pounds of milk produced. The article notes many cows in stanchions miss this salt intake for optimal results.

Tubercle bacilli in discharge can contaminate barnyard dust and milk, with milk spread being a common transmission route. Risk rises with udder infection, open lesions, or extensive internal or pulmonary disease.
Experiments at the University of Illinois College of Agriculture find pure cultures of legume bacteria grown in lab media superior to soil for inoculating legumes by yielding more nodules per plant. Second plantings show good nodule development from both methods, with timing crucial to success.
It is possible to grow enough corn for silage and tests by agricultural colleges show silage is a good substitute for hay. It is economical to feed and can raise production with about a 25 percent saving on the feed bill. Silage can replace pasture and is profitable in summer, especially where land costs are high.
A column notes profitable dairying with good cows and feeding. It reports higher present prices and rising consumption: ice cream up 10 percent, butter 14 percent, and milk 16 percent. Per capita milk use rose from 43 gallons four years ago to 49 two years ago and 51 gallons last year.
