Ancient Pueblo site yields pottery and tomb finds near Mile Canyon
W M Harrington reports exploration east of Beatty reveals pottery as valuable as Pueblo Grande. He believes the city flourished 2000 years ago and stood for at least another 1000 years. Eighteen tombs uncovered yield cat pearl and turquoise jewelry.
Uniform Rules Sought For State Poultry Certifications
The U S Department of Agriculture backed by a general committee calls for uniformity in state regulations for flock certification and accreditation to reduce confusion for buyers of hatching eggs and chicks. Twenty two states vary in grading and disease testing, prompting a survey urging interstate consistency to sustain the industry.

Starting Sweet Clover With Corn in the Fall
The article notes fall sowing of sweet clover with corn can work in favorable conditions but often yields poor stands. Success depends on land type with poorer corn soils sometimes favoring clover, while highly productive corn land rarely justifies attempting clover establishment in the cornfield.
Sheep Business Subject to Market Fluctuations
The sheep business faces price swings with cycles of low and high prices. Since 1922 sheep have been profitable, and expectations of lower prices after this year spark talk of market fluctuation. Dry weather could liquidate flocks temporarily, offering a chance to build a farm flock and encourage retention of stock.
Mineral Mixtures for Poultry Feeding Advise
The market offers several commercial mineral mixtures for poultry feeding. Buy a well known mix and follow feeding instructions strictly. Many mixtures include extra elements like sulphur which likely have a defined role.
Oldest of Paints Whitewash Versatile for American Farms
Whitewash remains a top choice for barn interiors due to low cost ease of preparation and disinfection. The government formula uses quicklime water salt rice paste glue whitening and alum with optional laundry soap to improve durability and adhesion. Apply hot for best results but avoid thick coats to prevent cracking.

Hill Selection of Seed Potatoes Yields Vary Widely
At Geneva station researchers compared pairs from the same seed tubers grown under similar conditions. Yields ranged from nothing to 141.8 percent of the average, averaging a 23.4 percent difference. The study suggests important yield factors remain unknown and hill selection cannot reach perfect perfection. Farm practice should not be altered, as results mainly aid experts developing improved potato strains.

Crown of Alfalfa Plants Is Close to the Ground
Young alfalfa crowns sit near the soil surface and are vulnerable to grazing. Horses and sheep cut below the crown killing plants, while cattle tend to eat the tops left for winter protection. Snow keeps some color. warm spells revive the crowns before the next freeze. Trampling by stock damages a large portion, so fencing is cheaper than reseeding alfalfa.
Agricultural Maxim Fragments From a Historical Text
A collection of farming maxims emphasizes spraying or dusting potatoes, mowing pastures to destroy weeds, cultivating corn only to kill weeds, planting abundant soybeans for seed hay and soil health, and using good paint to prevent evils. It urges early weed control, frequent cultivation, and notes gain comes with some loss. It also hints at poultry production and proper housing.
Problems of warm weather for dairy milk production
An article explains how milking machine hygiene fails in hot weather. It advises changing sterilizing solutions regularly and using a lime chloride paste followed by a brine bath to sanitize rubber tubes and teat cups between milkings. The recommended stock solution and salt brine method reduce bacterial contamination and improve milk quality.

Quality Cream Production Tied to Separator Hygiene
A South Dakota State College dairy study finds washing and scalding cream separators after each use halves bacteria in cream and greatly improves keeping quality. Two separators were tested. the rinsed unit yielded 10,800,000 bacteria per cc, while the thoroughly washed unit had 5,500,000. Skim milk also showed larger bacterial differences.

Silage and Alfalfa Hay Ideal Dairy Cow Feed
Silage and alfalfa hay form the basis of a splendid ration for dairy cows. Add a grain mix of ground barley and ground oats in equal parts, about one pound per three and a half pounds of milk. Soy bean hay equals alfalfa in value but may be wasted more due to its coarser texture.
Turnip Feeding Affects Milk Flavor At Government Farm
A government experimental farm study shows feeding cows turnips at 15 pounds per hour before milking causes objectionable flavors and odors in milk. Increasing to 80 pounds intensifies odor and flavor, while proper aeration reduces strong flavors and odors.
