A writer contrasts caring for autumn and spring litters, noting spring litters gain earlier feed and milk. He advocates two litters yearly, selective culling after weaning, adequate housing, exercise space, and clean dry quarters.

The guidance advises extending a ewe's life by two to three years if she is in good health with a strong udder and teeth. Excellent breeding ewes can be found in big markets though they are thin and rejected by buyers. Sheep are not especially greedy, but can founder from overeating if fed freely at all times.

Three key steps: deep plowing to create a moisture reservoir, subsurface packet to link furrow slice and subsoil, and surface mulch through cultivation to prevent evaporation.

The article explains dry farming or good tilage as the means to conserve moisture in arid lands. It outlines how twelve inches of effective rainfall suffices for forty bushels per acre in wheat and twenty-five bushels with 7.5 inches, emphasizing deep plowing and a durable dust blanket to reduce evaporation. Examples from Utah Colorado and Wyoming show crops surviving with scarce rain.
The feed guidance states clear corn is not best for fattening sheep, especially lambs. A little wheat in any form helps, even if damaged. Bran or shorts or pata can partly substitute for wheat, and screenings remain superior to pure corn. Introduce corn slowly and never feed corn exclusively to lambs.
A concrete feeding floor for hogs is a highly profitable farm investment. It is inexpensive to build and easy to construct, saves feed, and keeps hogs comfortable, translating to money in the owners pocket.
Winter plowing gains favor as general field work ends. Store seed corn in the ear and strengthen soil by spreading manure promptly. Alfalfa requires careful preparation. clover fixes nitrogen. Emphasize leguminous crops to boost humus and manage pastures to prevent overgrazing.
