An ice house on each dairy farm is highly desirable for producing milk with low bacteria. Early winter is ideal for construction and room for at least 144 tons of ice per cow should be planned. If no river or lake exists an ice pond may be built and water quality must be pure. Old ponds should be cleaned of debris.
Stable manure provides nitrogen, humus and beneficial bacteria, aiding plant growth. Even limited supplies boost soil with compost, green manures and fertilizers, while larger applications like a ton or two sustain a 30 by 60 foot garden. Adding about 50 pounds of acid phosphate per ton enhances phosphoric acid content profitably.
Prof. E L Worthen of New York State College of Agriculture argues farmers can act as nitrogen factories by growing more clover and legumes, conserving manure, and returning organic matter. He says acid phosphate suffices if clover and manure are well used, and that farms must meet nitrogen and potash needs locally to compete with Western producers. He notes mixed fertilizers for intensive vegetables and that field-grown vegetables may rely on manure and acid phosphate to some extent.

An Iowa State College test with 24 chickens shows ordinary window glass screens out ultraviolet rays, reducing growth and increasing disease risk, while glass cloth and cele glass let in more light and improve outcomes.
Many poultry diseases are preventable through better ventilation and space. Ensure front opening equals one quarter of floor space and provide at least three square feet per bird. Clean, sterilize water vessels every few days and add permanganate of potash to drinking water as needed to boost health.
Separate the cockerels and the pullets and provide ample feed for growing stock. Ducks yield about two ounces of marketable feathers each. Regular disinfection keeps mites and disease germs down. Laying mash should be offered with grain so hens eat half as much mash as grain. Soft shells come from shell material shortages if oyster shell is unavailable. It is profitable to keep hens comfortable with draft-free, well-ventilated, dry coops. the coldest coop is tightly closed and ill ventilated.
