Alfalfa shipped to feed in dairy rations across Iowa counties
Sixty three carloads of alfalfa hay were shipped into Black Hawk county this winter, feeding dairy cows that purchase from Kansas Nebraska and Wyoming. Waterloo received 25 carloads followed by Cedar Falls with 15. Other towns plus Bremer and Fayette counties reported smaller lots. Total cost about $21,000, with hay priced around $24 a ton. County agents note potential gains from growing alfalfa locally and lime costs to prepare land for the first year could be offset by future yields.

First care given baby chicks has large influence
Ames Iowa March 30 The opinion of H A Bittenbender head of Iowa State College poultry husbandry that early chick care largely determines a poultrymen's season. He prescribes milk replaces water one square foot per two chicks clean dry litter sour milk or buttermilk for six weeks no water cleanliness is crucial. keep chicks in boxes in dark 60 to 72 hours after hatch. Do not grind oats in hammer mill for mash. Separate sexes at 10 weeks and raise on fresh ground. move brooder to prevent parasites. thrifty chicks yield far more than sick ones.
