Clemson College Bulletin explains butter making basics from fat globules to churning. Key steps include aiming for 58 degree cream, maintaining 50 degree storage, warming to 70 degree for souring, releasing gas during barrel churns, stopping when kernels reach wheat size, washing with cold water, and salting at one ounce per pound.
The article explains raising orphan colts with cow milk as a substitute for mare’s milk, noting its lower protein fat and ash but higher water and milk sugar. Start with bottle feeding warmed to body temp, mix milk with sugar dissolved in warm water, add lime water, and feed gradually. At three months switch to sweet milk thrice daily, reduce milk if the colt ties diarrhea, and use caster oil mix as needed.
When feeding silage, remove the molded top layer which extends beneath the surface. Feed at least two inches daily to prevent mold growth. Keep the surface level to minimize air exposure. Only expose enough silage for one feeding to prevent drying out.
A New York State college study estimates the average dairy cow in New York yields a yearly income of 66.09 dollars against a maintenance cost of 61.85 dollars excluding labor. The slim margin of 4.25 dollars per cow highlights the importance of high quality roughage for profitability.
A dated report discusses farm wages and dairy herd efficiency. Scrub cows, blamed for low profits, are urged to be weeded out to improve profitability. The article notes improvements possible through better breeding and management, while warning that mishandled housing adds labor burdens on the farm.
The calf is fed whole milk at first with gradual quantity increases. Skin milk is substituted when feasible and continued if affordable until about six months. The maximum economical skim milk is 0 pounds daily. At two weeks, offer grain and bright clean hay and increase as appetite allows.
Indigestion is the cause of common sours. This generally occurs when the calf is from two weeks to a month old. Prevention is the best remedy. The common causes of indigestion are overfeeding, feeding milk that is sour or sweet then sour, and dirty pails troughs and stalls.
An old note urges extra care for horses in hot weather to prevent losses from heat. Well grooming and steady feeding help work efficiency. Hydration is essential, recommending four to five daily waterings, or hourly checks when labor is heavy.
A description of a farm implement that securely holds livestock for handling. The device traps the animal with doors behind and on both sides and a lever locks the neck area, immobilizing the stock for ease of work while noting the image resembles medieval restraint.
Watch the little pigs for sore mouth and isolate the litter if ulcers are found. Treat the affected pigs with tincture of iodine on a cotton swab daily. If the disease is far advanced the pig should be destroyed and the care is burned.
Guidance for early training and feeding of a young colt. Instructs to teach grain and access to grass early, using crushed oats and bran as primary grain feed, or substitute crushed corn and bran in equal parts with linseed meal if unavailable.
The United States Department of Agriculture presents a long range plan for fighting the boll weevil. It emphasizes fall plowing and land preparation, destruction of weevils in hibernating spots, early crop formation, and soil studies on spacing. It notes that control is not solved by new measures and outlines ongoing research into repellants, sprays, light traps, and harvesting machines. The bulletin estimates the weevil causes vast cotton losses, urges regional adaptations, and highlights crop diversification effects in affected states.
Weaned pigs require muscle and bone building concentrates for thrift. Introduce feed gradually to avoid scours, 10 to 12 days for adjustment, with light feedings at least three times daily. Rations include skim milk with wheat middlings, or one part ground grain to two parts middlings or rice meal, and a mix of ground oats with rice meal.
University of Florida expert John M. Scott says dairy farmers specializing in milk should maintain milk records and individual performance records for each cow to manage the herd in a businesslike manner.
