A National Stockman reader from Ohio rebuts alfalfa optimism, detailing year round demands. He argues alfalfa binds farmers to constant cutting from June to October, leaves little time for fishing or vacation, and advises against sowing it to avoid perpetual work and winter feeding.
To curb sows that destroy piglets or threaten to, saturate a small woolen cloth with kerosene and gently moisten the piglets hair. Avoid skin contact. The kerosene dressing usually spoils the sow s appetite for raw pork. Provide earth, grass, rotten wood, charcoal ash and light feed for a few days after littering to prevent trouble.
A farmer advises delaying clover sowing on black soils until late March or early April due to frost risks. On clay soils frost cracked land dries quickly, so sow where the ground is cracked or wind‑dried. Lifted manure should be scattered after snow melts to feed grass. Willis Wing notes three feet of dry soil above bedrock supports alfalfa starts. Disking old alfalfa can rejuvenate weeds by splitting crowns.
