A poem praising Memorial Day, honoring soldiers and civilians who served without rank or sword. It calls for flowers and flags to honor those who gave their all for the nation and asks for proper tribute to their noble memory. Written in a 1925 Western Newspaper Union style.
In Washington Post style tribute, Col Thomas J. Dickson recalls the First Division in World War I, praising regulars, Guardsmen, and the National Army for facing Verdun and Cantigny with courage. He notes the march to Paris, the six-division counterattack, and the sea of graves as the cost of victory, honoring enduring loyalty and bronze names.
A marble shaft stands south of the State War and Navy building in Washington. A photograph shows the statue of victory atop the memorial marking the First Division head.
An old New Orleans reminiscence recalls General Lee near Petersburg during his retreat to Appomattox. He declines a toast, drinks water, then helps a distressed mother seeking her soldier son Dolly, asking her to name his unit so he can try to locate him.
The piece urges readers to observe Memorial Day by honoring heroic spirits and rededicating themselves to patriotic service. It emphasizes keeping the American spirit fresh and fragrant like the flowers offered in tribute.
United States Department of Agriculture scientists timed hive exits with a gate device to measure bees trips and loads. Data show 2,434,666 bees left the hive, 8.16 percent did not return, and average lifetime nectar is about 800 milligrams requiring 567 bees for a pound.
USDA veterinary specialists warn that leaving or improperly disposing of dead animals fuels infection on farms. A farmer confessed to discarding 80 to 100 chickens in hog pens and spreading chicken house material on fields, with tuberculin testing showing avian tuberculosis in fowls and a sow, indicating the infection originated from the birds.
The U S Department of Agriculture estimates show farm dairy product value fell by 66 million dollars in 1924 to 2 588 148 000 from 2 652 419 000 in 1923 due to lower prices for most dairy products except buttermilk whey and skim milk. Whole milk on farms valued at 1 714 000 000 vs 1 750 000 000. butterfat 394 000 000 vs 415 000 000. farm butter 237 000 000 vs 246 000 000. Average farm milk prices were 5.225 cents per quart in 1924.
The Bureau of Animal Industry reports rapid progress in eradicating bovine tuberculosis through area work. About 485 counties, 16 percent of U.S. counties, engage in efforts with 11 million cattle. Minnesota’s Freeborn County tests over 59 000 cattle on 900 farms, 8 100 reactors, amid severe winter.
Demonstrations led by H B Musser show barley and oats mixtures outperform single crops for digestible feeding material. In Luzerne county, local oats with Alpha barley yielded 1727.7 pounds per acre, higher than pure crops and other mixes, with similar results in 1928 trials and in New York and Ontario.
For a strong potato yield plant after a corn crop that followed a well manured clover or alfalfa field. Avoid immediate manure before potatoes to prevent scab. Sod ground invites white grub damage, so a cultivated crop like corn ahead helps, loosens soil, and improves plant health.
The article urges farmers to diversify home gardens with a variety of vegetables and adopt cost-efficient seed and inputs. It warns against poor seed and emphasizes profitable crop yield relative to production costs, noting farmers are manufacturers of saleable produce and that farm success helps keep youth engaged.
In checking milk and cream shipments at depots dairies and creameries we find many cans are not properly marked for identification. Farmers can mark cans with embossed name and address or brass plates, or paint clearly. Poor or torn tags hinder recognition by drivers and staff and delay deliveries.
A Wisconsin dairy expert outlines calving time care for milk cows. Maintain good condition, provide a comfortable calving stall, prepare for milk fever, blanket in cold weather, avoid complete dry milking for 48 hours, feed sparingly then gradually resume full feed over two to three weeks, and remove the afterbirth if needed. Remove the calf after two to four days and teach it to drink from a pail.
The article argues daughters of pure bred dairy sires outperform their dams, while many western cows average under 2600 pounds annually. It suggests using 18% to breed for higher yield, replacing power cows with better stock and employing pure-bred sires from high producing cows to raise statewide dairy production.
Early lactation cows are highly sensitive to changes in feed water and weather. A drop in milk production after calving is hard to recover from, so dairy managers must plan ahead to provide ample balanced rations.
