Calendar advises parasite control for livestock
A United States Department of Agriculture calendar for September offers month by month parasite control tips. It urges dipping livestock for lice ticks and mange while weather is mild, and cites specific bulletins on sheep lice, horses ticks, hog lice, cattle scab, and poultry lice. It notes worm risks from mud wallows, a $80,000 annual loss at a southern packing plant, and promotes a concrete wallow method and lambing timing to reduce parasite impact.

Sheep Tick Infestation Causes Loss of Lambs
A historical note describes Masophagus ovinus as a flylike parasite affecting sheep. Female hosts carry larvae until pupation, then eight to ten attach and form pupae. Pupation lasts 3 to 6 weeks. Heavy infestations cause flesh loss and wool damage. Young lambs are exposed after shearing, so keep them away from stored wool. severe cases may require dipping.
Best Sod Pasture for Pigs in Rainy Season
The article notes that sod pasture helps pigs during the rainy season by providing exercise and sun, balancing their ration with breen forage and supplying vitamins. It cites brome grass as an excellent option for such pasture.
Markets Discriminate Against Heifer Calves

Unclear OCR Notes on Gluten Feed in Kansan Trials
Fragmentary report discusses gluten feed values and its effect on steer rations and costs. Mentions price comparisons per ton and potential benefits in feed efficiency, but text is garbled with many errors.
Husk Protected Corn Ear Study Shows Protection Against Pests
The USDA reports a corn specimen with a husk fully encircling the ear suggesting potential for improved pest protection. C crosses with line G yielded far fewer smutted ears. 9780 of 13,159 ears remained husk protected versus 228 smutted in 3,180 exposed ears.

Ventilated Crates Preferred for Apple Storage
Apples store best in ventilated crates which also save space and permit easier grading and resorting. Cellar suitability varies. furnace cellars work well but ventilation and ground heat at about 50 F undermine cooling. Early fall warmth helps but later the cellar temperature is hard to keep low enough for proper storage.
Ground Speltz as Livestock and Poultry Feed
Speltz is a hard grain similar to barley in composition and closer to oats and corn than other farm grains. It contains less external hull and more fiber than corn, and should be ground moderately fine before feeding to livestock or poultry to replace portions of barley, corn, or oats with comparable results.
Efficient Farm Production Through Uniform Equipment
Efficient production comes from using farm equipment of similar size and power. Using four horses as the common power unit keeps horses busy longer, maximizing labor use and lowering costs. Continuous work by one man driving multiple horses reduces overall production costs.
Use of Combine Fast Increasing on Farms
A USDA study notes the combine’s widespread use could reduce diversified farming and grow farm sizes and fields. It could enable double cropping and help restore soil organic matter by returning crop residue, with straw needs met by green manuring or extra labor. Lodging-resistant varieties and timely harvesting are emphasized to minimize losses.

Sweet Clover Improves Soil and Phosphoric Use
Sweet clover is highlighted as a premier soil builder that fixes atmospheric nitrogen and enriches soil when plowed under. Adequate lime and inoculation ensure strong stands, with deep rooting tapping subsoil minerals and boosting subsequent crops. It also efficiently utilizes phosphoric acid from rock phosphate, suggesting raw phosphate plus sweet clover as a green manuring strategy.

Hay Crops Timing For Optimal Feed Value
Guidance on when to harvest timothy and clover hay for best quality. Timely cutting at full bloom for clover, early bloom for timothy, and specific rules for alfalfa and mixed stands. Red clover precedes timothy by about one to two weeks. Cutting alfalfa depends on bloom and new crown shoots.
Farm Notes on Forage, Bees, and Beneficial Insects
Farm notes discuss alfalfa clover and sweet clover as forage, beetles, and disease control. It mentions spraying tomato crops with Bordeaux mixture or fungicide, using bluegrass pastures with clover, and hive management to prevent swarming. It highlights soil depth, plowing needs, and birds and toads as allies in pest control.
Hope of Golden Future Not Much Consolation
