Scatter Manure for Benefit of Pastures
O W Gay of Ohio State University advises top dressing pastures with fine manure in fall or early spring. Do not apply manure from the same animal type to its grazing pasture to avoid disease transmission. Cattle manure is best applied to plowed ground. other manures may top-dress cattle pastures. Break up large dry cow manure clumps to spread them where they benefit the grass.

Advocates Wheat as a Substitute for Corn in Hog Rations
J W Wuichet of Ohio State University says wheat can replace corn in hog feed when price is near current levels and costs no more than 10 to 12 cents per bushel above corn. Wheat offers 6 to 8 percent more value than shelled corn, may yield better returns, especially with a protein supplement. Grinding or crushing increases value, soaking adds about 1 percent, and wheat needs about 8 percent tankage versus corn at 10 percent.

Silage as Prime Calf Feed Cuts Costs on Michigan Farms
Reports from Michigan State College and other stations show silage combined with corn silage and alfalfa hay greatly reduces grain needs while maintaining gains. Calves weighing 375 to 400 pounds gain nearly as fast on six pounds of grain plus silage as they do on eight to ten pounds of grain, with similar fattening results when fed two thirds as much corn.

Pigs Root More on Low Protein Diet at Ohio Station
Pigs fed protein deficient rations rooted increasingly as feeding length lengthened at the Ohio experiment station. Pigs with ample protein and salt rooted little. Fish meal proved the most economical supplement for corn fed pigs. Minerals raised gains 18 percent with corn alone, reducing feed by 13 percent. Ground oats exceeded whole oats for tankage and alfalfa mixes. Ground corn oats tankage minerals proved more profitable than corn oats. Production cost stood at 6.92 dollars per hundred. Hulling oats unprofitable. Ordinary cottonseed meal underperformed. special cottonseed meal supported good protein and growth with some deaths after day 49.

O P V Mixture For Silage Or Hay Tested In Ontario
An Ontario Dominion experimental station tested oats peas and vetch sown in six dates at seven day intervals to find best sowing time for silage or hay. Over six years the average first seeding date was May 23 and last seeding June 27. Results show good yields for both uses with earlier plantings giving better yields, though late summer sowings also perform well, even on slow to dry spring land.
