Low Testing Cow Cuts Down Profits in New York State
Dairymen facing low milk prices pursue high testing to preserve value. With a four cent per point price, a herd averaging 2 percent butterfat loses money when market tests drop. Many join dairy record clubs, testing cows individually at home, sending samples to a central lab for analysis and records. Information available through local farm bureaus or the State College of Agriculture at Ithaca.

Feeding experiments compare pea vine and alfalfa silages in stock
Wisconsin Agriculturist reports tests with pea vine silage valued at 80 to 90 percent of corn silage when green and sound. Three steer groups on basal corn and cottonseed meal. one fed alfalfa alone, one alfalfa with corn silage, one alfalfa with pea silage. Corn silage steers gained most, pea silage slightly less than alfalfa. Hogs followed in December, reducing net loss by pork credits of 8.25 per hundred.

Milk Utensil Sterilization and Bacteria Levels
Station Circular No. 938 reviews how utensils milk machines and storage temps affect bacterial counts in milk. Poorly cleaned pails strainers surface coolers and cans raise bacteria to millions per cubic centimeter. well sterilized items stay under 1000 per cc. Storage at 50 F or below slows growth for about 24 hours.

Corn as Fuel for Farmers Could Replace Wood or Coal
The article discusses farmers using corn as fuel when wood is scarce or coal unaffordable. It notes 57 bushels of dry corn could fail to buy a ton of soft coal, suggesting corn may be a cheaper alternative. It also mentions saving corn for feed but considers fuel use if funds are tight.
Use of Poison to Fight Field Mice
A North Carolina State College bulletin explains that pine and field mice increase in grass mulch and artificial mulches. Poisoned grain bait in glass bottles near trees provides weatherproof, preventive control. A strychnine baking soda mix is used with oats in self feeders under every other tree.

Agricultural Hints and Livestock Tips for Time Saving Returns
Agricultural hints emphasize corn yields higher nutrients per acre and lower cost than oats or barley. Weed control by early cutting prevents seed spread and reduces losses. Raising eight to ten pigs to weaning costs about the same as four or five pigs. vaccinate small pigs to prevent cholera. For beef cattle the main fattening aims are market surplus feed use and obtaining manure to cut fertilizer costs. Clean farrowing houses. remove trash, scrape floors, and wash with hot lye solution using about 20 gallons per pound of lye.
