BE SURE ro INSIST ON IL 12 KX 8 Livestock Guide For January Attention To start the new year right with livestock. County Farm Agent D. Austin Shelley suggests these ideas for January. Animal Husbandry Balance corn for hogs with fish meal, skimmilk, or tankage. Allow beef cattle ample cheap roughage. For fall calves turn bull with cows about January 15. Give idle mules freex access to roughage, but cut the grain to a half ration. See that all classes of livestock have shelter, with extra bedding during cold nights. Make use of barley, rye, and oats for hog and cattle grazing. Repair the pasture fences. Dairying Make inventory of livestock, feed, and equipment. Decide now whether you will have silage next fall and plan for its production. Analyze herd records and decide where you can improve in manage ment and feeding. Repair pasture fences, clean out undergrowth, and stop washes in pastures. Plan now for improving perma nent pastures and for summer crops to supplement permanent pastures. Start the new year right by ’:eeping daily milk and feed rec- rds on each cow. Make January \ planning month for the coming ear. Poultry Mate breeders for hatching eggs. Make special breeding pen of est hens and pedigreed male to iroduce cockerels for next year’s natings. Provide breeders with green range. Get ready for baby chicks. Move brooder houses to new ground before starting chicks.

M. Clark, extension economist, discussing the livestock outlook. “The price-strengthening factors for beef cattle in 1940 will be, it now seems, a stronger domestic demand for meat, the total live weight of cattle marketed less than in 1939, and higher prices for hides”, says Mr. Clark. “Over a- gainst these, however, as an off setting factor will be larger total meat supplies in 1940 than in 1939 because of the larger market ings of hogs. “The number of cattle and calves of all kinds on farms reached the low point in the down swing of the cycle in 1938, and has been increasing since that time, and the number is expected to in crease during the next few years”, Mr. Clark explains. “The total slaughter of cattle and calves in 1940 is expected to be somewhat smaller than in 1939. Steer slaughter probably will show little change but the marketing of cows and heifers for slaughter will be reduced.” Marketings of fed cattle during the late winter and early spring in 1940 are likely to be larger than the relatively small marketings of the corresponding period of a year earlier, Mr. Clark thinks. But the number of cattle market ed during the summer and fall next year may not be greatly dif ferent from the number marketed in that period this year.. jxj——— Chevrolet- Dee. 20 Sales Auditor’s Notice - FOR YEAR 1940.
