An article argues that dog owners can reduce sheep killings by preventing predation and improving livestock welfare. It notes that while dogs are faithful companions, some destroy sheep and hide evidence of their acts, urging responsible ownership to support the wool and mutton industries.
An editorial urges taxing dogs to reduce excess pets and prevent sheep-killing by neglected animals. It argues daytime yard safety does not prove nocturnal behavior and stresses economic loss from such dogs harms the breed’s reputation.
The U S Department of Agriculture urges at least a 15 percent rise in hog numbers in 1918 to boost pork supply, a major war food alongside wheat. It calls for regional increases, breeding for two litters yearly, better feeding, waste utilization, silage, alfalfa, and disease prevention to finish hogs near 275 pounds.
A collection of sandwich ideas and quick recipes. It lists roquefort and French dressing, cottage cheese with chives, tuna and sardines, tongue, ham and chicken curries, figs and peanuts, salmon with olives, baked beans, cucumber with onion, watercress, banana with nuts, almonds with maple, celery and mayonnaise, and cheese tomato toasts. Also notes on sardines, liver, apples with nuts, and a peanut butter rice loaf along with walnut loaf and cheese fingers.
The Agriculture Department urges balanced roughage rations by growing Canada peas in oats and soybeans in corn for silage or hay. Firestemmed varieties are preferred for hay, and seed crops can pay off as substitutes for cottonseed meal in dairy cattle rations due to higher protein. When fed, these should be mixed with grain, bran, or meal before grinding.
A fragment shows an older robin guiding younger robins on learning to fly. The father advises avoiding human machines and tricks, warning against tail spins and rough handling by humans.
The article outlines four hay making systems. Hand loading dominates older East farms for small acreages. Hay loaders boost capacity but require hard wagon work and have ground safety issues. Push rakes and stackers serve larger Western operations with limited labor. In-field baling from the windrow saves time but risks spoilage if not well cured and stored properly.
At the Iowa station in Ames hogs gained more when shelled corn fed from a self feeder and tankage from a separate feeder. Feeding ear corn on a concrete floor with tankage was less economical. Average gains favored self fed hogs, though not every trial.
The article explains how starters are pure cultures of lactic acid bacteria used to control cream ripening. It covers when starters are needed, methods to make a natural starter at home, and steps for propagating a starter to ensure consistent butter quality on commercial scale.
A simple steam sterilizer for dairy utensils from the U S Department of Agriculture has won strong favor. Demonstrations occurred in 172 cities and 99 officials have written to the department.
Thirty seven health officers report the device improves the local milk supply and is produced locally for dairymen. The sterilizer was shown to over six thousand farmers, with a campaign reaching thousands more. It is sold complete with oil stove for 8.50 or sterilizer part alone for 5.50, with Home maker directions in Farmer's Bulletin 748 sent free by the department.
A practical guide outlines needful hen housing with coops of appropriate size for flocks, nesting boxes, roosts, feeding utensils, and outdoor yards. It covers space requirements per bird, coop height, roost placement, and waste boards for larger flocks.
When hens brood and no hatch is wanted, break their broodiness quickly. Confine the hen to a small flat bottom coop with ample water. Feeding or fasting shows little difference. expect three to six days, some need ten to twelve. Signs include night nest-staying, ruffled feathers, protective clucking, and aggression toward intruders.
The article notes young turkeys stay with the mother hen until October or November, after which males separate from females to range alone. It also includes a quip about meat egg and milk trusts and a playful exchange about a vegetable trust failing due to greed.
A quotation about bacon and conservation echoes in a playful style. Hubert asks a poetic question about a map and a goal to grow two blades where one grew before, hinting at grace or transformation.
