The article argues calf disposal may cut losses, noting it costs just as much to raise poor calves as good ones. It urges farmers to cull nonviable calves early to avoid long-term expense, while promoting saving high quality calves for profitable beef or dairy lines.
The guidance outlines annual veterinary checks and prompt removal of sick animals, strict disease-free introductions to the herd, minimizing stress to cows, daily body cleaning with short udder hair, avoiding strong flavored foods except after milking, gradual feed changes, and ensuring ample fresh drinking water. These measures aim to maintain herd health, prevent tuberculosis, and promote humane handling.
The article argues that good udders and teats are often neglected in dairy cattle breeding. It notes that cows with small udders tend to carry excess flesh and lack the desirable double wedge shape sought by modern dairy farms.
The article warns that unclean utensils allow trouble particles to enter milk between cow and consumer. It explains minute organic matter, seams, and joints in milk cans harbor bacteria, causing disagreeable odors as decomposition occurs. It contrasts clean versus foul milking cans and stresses proper cleaning.
The warm milk medium promotes growth of bacteria. to avoid this, milking must be done quickly and carefully, milk should be cooled and stored or separated promptly.
The article urges springs and streams to be supplemented with ample fresh water for livestock during hot weather. It explains animals need more water for heat regulation and digestion as natural sources dry up. Emphasizes reliable supply via deep wells, wind pumps, or gasoline engines and always-full troughs.
Dr. C W McCampbell of Kansas State Agricultural College advises keeping the foal in a cool dark stall when the mare is working. During the first weeks bring the mare to the barn mid forenoon and mid afternoon, let the colt nurse, and keep the foal with the mare at night. Provide crushed oats with bran or a corn bran linseed meal ration, and offer clover or alfalfa hay. Ensure constant access to clean water. in pasture, use a creep for grain access.
The device uses a two by four set about eight inches from the floor to protect piglets. It prevents crushing when a sow lies down, allowing piglets to slip beneath the fender. The method, endorsed by Orange Judd Farmer, works well for many hog raisers in the corn belt.
There is reason to believe current live stock prices will persist due to a world shortage. A quick end to the war should not alter price levels until supply normalizes. An import duty of 10 percent on stock, meats, hides and wool protects against cheaper foreign shipments.
A Shepherd's Journal writer hails the Herdwick as England's cast-iron sheep famed for mutton and thick soft fleeces. The breed withstands harsh weather better than most, maintaining resilience in inclement climates.
Millet, a suite of forage and grain crops, varies by region. In the United States most millets are forage, while in Asia and Europe they are grown for food or mixed uses. Key varieties include broom corn, foxtail, proso, and pearl millet. production centers include Kansas and other Great Plains states, with climate and soil factors shaping cultivation and drought response. Sudan grass emerges as a potential competitor to millet as a catch crop.
Wallace MacFarlane of Oklahoma A and M outlines fall field practices after harvest. He emphasizes quick stubble burial to improve moisture retention and weed control, plus six to seven inch plowing when soil moisture allows. Data from Oklahoma shows yield gains from deep plowing. Also notes the need to transfer pedigrees with purebred stock transfers.
The text discusses the importance of a strong start for a draft colt, noting it completes half its development by age one. It argues that a sire’s quality is proven by his offspring across species. It cautions against letting young pigs run in heavy pastures when dew lies on the grass.
