Cast-off mower gains new life with simple repairs
RB L Shawl of the farm mechanics department at the University of Illinois explains that many mowers wrongly discarded can be restored with a little time and money. Key issues include heavy draft from poor lubrication, dull sickle, improper cutter bar adjustment, side draft from uncut hay, and worn sickle components. Proper alignment of guards, sharp ledger edges, and tight clips restore efficient cutting. Sickle wear is due to worn wear plates and guides, with adjustments available.

The group from Red Clay discusses optimal hay timing. Best hay from sweet clover is after sowing or the same season as sowing, with peak yield in fall. Normally cut in September and can extend to October 1 if weather allows curing.
Destroy Cutworms by Poison Mash and Plowing
The Iowa station reports farmers controlled cutworm and armyworm invasions by broadcasting a poison mash using an ebdgate feeder. The mash mixes wheat bran 20 to 25 pounds parie green or sodium fluoride 1 pound cheap molasses 2 pounds and water 2 gallons. Early fall plowing of grass and pastureland hits the worms in their weakest spot by destroying much of their food supply for late fall and early feeding.

Fall Plowing Improves Soil and Hay Yields
Fall plowing for spring crops will improve soil condition and help control insects. Overwintered alfalfa on the field protects plants in cold weather and increases next season's hay yield. Manure as a top dressing protects plants in weather and raises yield markedly.
Sweet clover sowing guidance for fall and spring
Sweet clover may be sown alone in the fall like alfalfa. If sown in wheat it should not be seeded until spring.

Fine Alfalfa Chaff Aids Chicks In Green Feed and Litter
The article explains that fine alfalfa chaff from mangers provides excellent green feed for young chicks and serves as scratching litter in brooders. It suggests keeping chicks off range for about three weeks to reduce coccidiosis risk, with alfalfa meal as an alternative. Feeding amounts vary as chicks grow, so feed as much as they clean up in an hour or two daily.
Removing Males From the Poultry Flock
The text argues removing males to improve egg production and notes egg yield depends on balanced feeds. It mentions hens facing strain from daily laying, suggests ideal chick-raising sites like orchards, plum groves, sunflowers, and even corn-field edges as practical for poultry raisers.
