Pit Silos Are Popular in Feeding Live Stock
Kansas farmers adopt pit silos as cost effective for cattle feeding. Concrete collar three to four feet above ground prevents frost action and elevates capacity. Walls above ground deter animal falls. Below collar, pit walls are smooth and plastered with cement sand mix. Hydrated lime and optional reinforcement prevent cave‑ins. hoisting for silage unloading remains the main challenge.

Alfalfa and Clover Favored for Farm Stock
A fragmented report notes alfalfa and clover hay are preferred for farm stock while oats hay is fed to cattle. It compares nutritional content showing alfalfa at about 60 percent protein and fat, clover about 70 percent protein with 18 percent fat, and oats hay much lower in protein with 1.2 percent fat.
Live Stock Facts for Hog and Cattle Feeding
A readable note on livestock feeding cites clean starts for pigs, milk, high quality hay, and middlings for five to six weeks old pigs. It warns that overfeeding before loading raises death rates in transit by 23 to 30 percent and notes tuberculosis cattle slaughter figures since 1917. It adds that wheat at 50 cents a bushel isn’t profitably sold, suggesting low grade peas and cheap forage as sheep feed.
Agricultural Squibs on Crop, Pest, and Beekeeping Practices
Agricultural squibs discuss A TO colony area equivalences for labor and income, mulching to weed control, thinning fruit for tree and crop quality, emergency feed options including wheat, rye, oats, clover, soybeans, and millet, advice from county agents on hay crops, roguing and crop separation to control diseases, complete weed elimination to prevent future work, and requeening bees toward the end of the honey flow before mid September with stock from reliable breeders.
Increase Moisture by Summer Fallow
A. L. Clapp of Kansas State Agricultural College explains summer fallow as a moisture storage method for the following wheat crop. Winter wheat benefits from fallow by storing moisture and enabling deep root feeding, while the practice also allows disposal of straw to improve soil humus and fertility. A year of fallow aids soluble plant foods, contributing to the hold-over effect observed at the Hays experimental station. At Hays, three years after fallow, wheat averaged 229 bushels, 3.7 more than continuous wheat in early fallowing tests.
