Frost Protection Proves Value of Orchard Heating
A Northwest orchardist, E C Stone of Emmett Idaho, saved a full crop by using 27 heaters on 13 year old prune trees during a frost on April 25 1921. Stone used 300 five gallon cast iron Schell heaters arranged 40 feet apart and benefited from the large coverage of his setup. The U S Department of Agriculture and Weather Bureau study orchard heating and offer Bulletin No 1096 Better Fruit for readers seeking guidance.

Feeding at Farrowing Time For Sows
For twenty four hours after farrowing the sow should receive no feed but plenty of warm water. She should then be started on a thin slop of bran or ground oats and barley with a little tankage. Gradually increase intake over ten days to full feed and then provide all the grain she will clean up twice or three times daily.
Feeding skim milk to pigs value rule
skimming milk as pig feed is valued by a rule of thumb. When fed alone its value equals five times the live hog price in cents per pound. when fed with corn or barley the value is six times the hog price.
