A Nebraska Farm Journal note by Chester Hayes suggests methods to curb horses greed by limiting accessible feed. One plan uses smooth items in the mouth and another uses narrow hopper feed boxes that allow access only as the horse maneuvers to retrieve feed.
Alfalfa needs little care in the first season and helps aerate soil and suppress weeds. If weeds appear wet clipping is advised with the mower set high, avoid cutting too short, and clip two or three times as needed. Early removal of a low ground hay crop may aid regrowth, with clippings left on the ground when possible.
A 1908 field trial divided five acres of brome grass into sections to test manure effects. Five acres with manure produced two tons per acre more than a nonmanured plot, while a third acre section showed notable hay yield differences. The study notes soil fertility and sod density influence long term yield, with reduced fertility harming regrowth.
Introduction of the crop notes it will produce marked results. The text cites common objections that alfalfa does not fit well into the rotation, signaling agricultural advisory on crop integration and rotation benefits.
The passage notes the heavy expense of keeping birds, estimating annual seed costs for the country and detailing how bird lovers spend over a million dollars yearly. It also describes types of imported seed colors and references Dutch dining habits as a contrast to American meals.
