The average test is 4 per cent butterfat. Brown Swiss are second only to the Holstein in size among the dairy breeds. Mature cows will weigh about 1,850 pounds. They are heavier muscled, blockier and more fleshy and angular than other dairy breeds. j Inoculate Soybeans To Get Ride of Weeds - The best way to help soybeans stay ahead of weeds is to inoculate the seed. The presence of numbers of effective bacteria large right from the start enables the young plants to draw nitrogen from the air for faster growth. They quickly fill the row and shade the ground, preventing weed growth, conserving moisture, and lessening the need for cultivation. The effectiveness of soybean inoculation was demonstrated at an eastern experiment station. The inoculated test plots matured into a highly profitable crop due to better stands, aided by abundant supply of immediately available nitrogen. . Send us the price of a years First importation of Brown Swiss into the United States was in 1869. The breed is well adapted to intensive dairying conditions. Brown Swiss, due to their ruggedness and ability to consume large quantities of coarse roughages as well as their carcass value, are an ideal sub- scription if you are m arrears. We need the money. |
