A poultry column argues most cats will kill chicks but notes exceptions. The writer recalls a farm tom which hunted birds but spared chicks, returning a stray chick to its brood. The piece suggests farm-raised cats believe chicks are not lawful prey.
In winter fowls cannot hunt for animal food so owners must supply supplements. Summer feed alone is insufficient as birds rely on added nutrients then. Ground meat should top the supplement list, followed by belled potato parings and the fke. Green feeds are scarce in winter. store cabbages for poultry if possible.
Hens often have diarrhoea from fattening diets. Pullets thrive on a diet that would reduce older hens intake and still lay well. Watch watery bloody droppings, separate ailing birds, and use iron tincture or nails in water with dry grain. Feed laying hens apart from breeders to prevent overfat conditions.
Note the fowls that lay most during winter, then mark them for spring eggs. The practice aims to shift setting to spring layers, as heavy winter layers may slow by then. Reliable data are scarce, so the farmer must track and manage winter layers himself.
The Record Stockman notes about 5,000 sheep are being fattened near Greeley Colorado by the Greeley Sugar company. Pens of 700 to 800 sheep each are supervised by feeders as they gain about two and a half pounds per head weekly on a ration of ten pounds pulp to a half pound alfalfa daily.

The wooden pail is rare in dairies and farms and hard to keep clean. Fermentation from milk requires heavy scalding rinsing and drying, making metal pails far more sanitary and easier to maintain. Soldered creases help the metal pail stay clean, while rusty pails should be discarded promptly.
A dairy note says spending on additional feed is not a long investment as returns come monthly. Feed dealers offer month to month terms, allowing farmers to pay feed bills from the milk or cream check. Farmers cannot consistently claim they have invested in heavy feeding like grain or silage.
