Corn Best Grain for Lambs in Iowa Trial
An Iowa Agricultural Experiment Station study shows corn with alfalfa hay and rock salt yields the highest selling lambs, needing less corn than oats for equal gains and earning about 60 cents per cwt more. It finds oats not worth as much as corn and warns against barley or added linseed meal. Lambing in cornfields or turning lambs into corn fields is recommended, especially where rape has been sown.

Vaccinate for Blackleg Prevents Calf Loss
Iowa State College animal husbandry men urge farmers to vaccinate calves against blackleg. The disease kills calves quickly, survives winters in ground, and swampsy low-lying pastures are most at risk. Vaccination can be done by a local veterinarian or by farmers themselves with a simple outfit.

Pasture Supplements for Dairy Cows and Milk Flow
Dairy expert C L Black of Iowa State College notes short pastures in August fail to feed dairy cows. Silage or hay crops can supplement pasture and grain should be added if milk flow dips. Increase grain as flow falls to keep milk steady, with a ration mix including cottonseed meal and bran corn cob meal.
