The notice stresses cleanliness and sun drying of milk utensils, recommends a good cream separator to remove fat, and warns unclean milk is risky in warm weather. It urges testing cows, balancing rations, and feeding skim milk to livestock to preserve farm fertility and boost butterfat production. Test cows regularly.
Don’t overfeed dairy heifers. Feeding too much stunts more calves than underfeeding. Avoid abrupt milk changes from whole to skim. Keep calves out of damp dark crowded barns. Use clean pails for milk and maintain consistent feeding times temperatures and amounts.
The text notes that few cows sustain high production unless they have ample storage for consuming large quantities of feed and water. It argues that the big consumer, typically the most profitable producer, must be provided with substantial digestion capacity.
The guide emphasizes evaluating a cow from Withers to hip bone for body capacity. It stresses full crop, well sprung ribs, and wide spacing as key indicators. Digestive efficiency is judged by handling qualities and hide condition including a soft, silky coat.
Cows need salt for proper thriving, especially in summer grazing. Wis. State researchers Babcock and Caryle found salt requirements depend on feed character. Place rock salt where cattle access daily, either in stalls during milking or in pasture troughs.
Plan to keep cream sweet describes skimming nearly per cent in hot weather and cooling immediately after skim and before mixing with older cream. It warns to keep all parts clean and cold and to stir with a metal ladle while maintaining sanitary utensils and surroundings.
On pasture hogs fed grain gain about one and a half pounds daily to reach 200 to 250 pounds, enabling spring pigs to reach market in early fall at higher prices. Grain accelerates weight gain, reduces feeding time and investment risk, and improves meat quality. Light steady grain on pasture beats heavy finishing and helps harden fat for fall markets.
The article argues that a quality ram is a crucial investment for flock quality. It cites Missouri agriculture figures showing a $30–$40 ram bred to Colorado ewes produced lambs 2.5 pounds heavier at three months and 60 percent higher per 100 pounds when sold, compared with lambs from inferior rams.
Description of a 50 hinged blinders device controlled by a checking mechanism to curb a horse’s movement if it bolts. It explains how the driver uses the device to guide the horse and how the system could stop the horse in the absence of the driver by turning the wheel to pull the blinders.
Sweet clover provides outstanding pasture value second only to alfalfa on fertile soils. Livestock thrive on it and initial distaste by animals can be overcome by turning them onto the pasture as growth begins. Farmers' Bulletin 820 from the U S department of agriculture says there is practically no danger of bloat with sweet clover.
Farmers told that pumpkins provide succulent supplement for hogs and aid in grain utilization. The seeds are noted as effective worm exterminators, making pumpkins a valuable feed option.
Clemson College Bulletin outlines efficient feeding for dairy cows focusing on succulent feeds from silage and roots, emphasizing corn silage as cheapest and mangels as substitutes for small herds. It stresses legumes as the best hay, protein sources, and grain rules tied to milk or butterfat production.
US Department of Agriculture specialists state foxtail millet is valuable mainly as a catch crop to fill hay shortages or idle fields. It matures quickly, tolerates poor soils and a wide climate range, but does not contribute much humus and is unlikely to be a profitable rotation crop.
The article explains billbugs threaten corn in wet low grounds across the South and advise late summer plowing to kill winter quarters. It recommends rotating corn with cotton, destroying sedges and swamp grasses, and removing food sources for the pests. It also urges allowing sweet potatoes to fully mature in the ground before digging for storage to improve yield and shelf life.
Much food is ruined by exposure to flies insects rats and mice. Cereal products are damaged by weevils and other insects. Swiss chard and lettuce are fed to chickens. A few bites are eaten daily.
