Ohio State University researchers report threshed soybeans fed without grinding maintain higher feed value than ground beans. Protein supplements should be 1-2 pounds per head daily, with corn silage lowering costs. Silage-fed steers show about 71.65 dollars per acre return versus 50.90 for shelled corn.
A farmer who started 18 years ago on a run down 50 acre plot built a thriving operation with alfalfa at its core. He paid credit for stock and gear, now owes nothing, and grows more grain as soil improves. Alfalfa hay feeds his cows, supports surplus sales to neighboring farmers, and anchors his success.
A Missouri farmer reports sowing five pounds of Korean Lespedeza seed at 36 cents per pound to test its vigor. Seed sown with clover in oats, in gullies, and on a hillside grew well despite extreme drought, with oats suffering clover loss. The crop thrived in dry conditions and may fill a real farming niche south of the Missouri River.
Hoard's Dairyman notes clover hay delivers higher protein, especially when well cured with many leaves, while bluegrass is more carbonaceous. Cows relish it when properly cured, but the grain mix shifts. example rations show clover with corn silage, and bluegrass with bran corn oats and linseed meal in equal parts.
Oklahoma experiment compares four feeding methods for wheat with tankage. Whole dry wheat, steamed 90 hours, ground and self-fed wheat show different daily gains and costs per hundred pounds of gain. Soaking wheat adds little value, possibly due to reduced mastication.
In Ingham County Michigan Harry Fresheur sowed 17 acres of sweet clover in spring 1926. The crop supplied hay pasture and fertility, feeding stock and yielding a heavy seed crop. The field later produced corn and oats with a robust clover stand reappearing in 1980 after dry conditions. Capper's Farmer reports the farm’s success with this forage.
A Wisconsin Agricultural Experiment Station bulletin reviews milk standardization for cheese making. Professors Price and Germain report trials achieving a casein to fat ratio of 0.7, yielding higher value per quantity of milk, especially when milk fat exceeds 8.5 percent.
Farm Journal suggests weighing whether the current barn, hog house, or poultry house can be remodeled to meet housing, ventilation, insulation, light, sanitation and convenience needs. It notes that old buildings may be upgraded at low cost with concrete floors, more windows, new roofs, ventilating systems, insulation and paint as building material prices stay lower.
Ohio experiment notes soy beans can satisfactorily feed cattle for fattening but beans reduce daily gain versus cottonseed meal. Whole beans palatability outperforms ground beans or belding cattle on feed. likely similar results for soy beans vs soy bean oilmeal.
An Ohio State University professor of animal husbandry advocates using miniature testing labs to track production and costs. By comparing daughters production to dams, dairymen can select sires that raise herd fat output, though records must exist to judge sire impact.
A Henry County Iowa dairy farmer observed cows on pasture using no grain in 1929 grew thin and produced less milk during winter. In contrast the next year he fed a grain mix during pasture with 500 lb corn and cob meal 500 lb ground oats and 100 lb high protein concentrate. Cows stayed in good condition and increased production after winter feeding.
A Minnesota Agricultural Experiment Station and U S Department of Agriculture study in Pine County shows management as the key variable in butterfat production. About 25 herds over three years produced 77 herd year records, with four management groups. Good managers yielded 17 percent more fat than fair, while poor managers produced 70 percent as much.
Dairy notes warn that leaving milking machinery outdoors raises costs and lowers profits. In October 587 cows were culled and sold in 1955 by New York state dairy herd improvement associations. Emphasizes proper barn ventilation as key to healthier stock and purer milk during winter.
The late Sherman Whipple, a famed Boston lawyer and local character, chose Yale over Harvard due to expense. Bostonians mocked a local boy who attended Yale, seeing it as a social error, though Whipple had intended to attend Harvard. Yale sent its catalogue. Harvard offered to send one on receipt of funds.
A king demands a blue pig with a black tail or war. The rival replies not having one prompts a peace as both misinterpret words. The second king asks for clarification and reveals the folly of quarrels over ambiguous language. The tale notes many quarrels resemble the blue pig dispute.
Readers argue over Sunday or Monday as the preferred start of the workweek. Some dislike Sunday to avoid weekend chores, while others favor Monday for fresh routines and structure, highlighting differing opinions about productivity and rest.
A fragment notes a close friend who attended every wedding of a woman and remarks on enduring friendship. The lines suggest a longtime companion present at four ceremonies and posing a personal question about support.
