The most successful dairymen advocate that the waste products of the dairy can be utilized in no way so profitably as in connec tion with the raising Of pork. Pork has been so high during the entire year that farmers who have given this branch of husbandry proper attention have classed it with the most remunerative branches Of farming. Dairying and pork raising combined tend to largely increase the fertility of the farm and thereby increase its output. The largest profits from dairying are realized only when the waste products are utilized in the raising Of pork.

Agriculture of Maine


Book Description

Excerpt from Agriculture of Maine: Ninth Annual Report of the Commissioner of Agriculture of the State of Maine, 1910 The year 1910 has broughta good degree of prosperity to the farmers of Maine. This is an indication of the general prosperity of the State, as When the farmers prosper all other pursuits likewise prosper. The results of the steady progress and development in the science of agriculture, which have been greater during the last ten years than in the twenty years that preceded them, are seen in all the farming communities. The necessity of acquiring a knowledge of the principles which underlie their farm operations, and conducting their farming on a business basis, is well recognized by the majority of farm ers. The idea of co - operation in their efforts is constantly gaining ground, and many co - operative associations have been organized during the past year. The principles of co-operation are as applicable to the farmer as to the members of any other pursuit or profession, and much benefit is sure to accrue from uniting their efforts. With all the aid that the United States Government is giving to the agricultural population, directly and indirectly, and that received from the State, and the many organizations in the interest of agriculture, there is no reason why the farmers should not take courage and avail themselves more of their opportunities.

Fourteenth Annual Report of the Commissioner of Agriculture of the State of Maine, 1915 (Classic Reprint)


Book Description

Excerpt from Fourteenth Annual Report of the Commissioner of Agriculture of the State of Maine, 1915 There are other conditions, too, that tend to reduce food production, which can and ought to be changed. The present great boom for good roads - which is worthy in itself and which everybody approves, especially those who ride over them is now done during the months of May, June, July and August and it takes from agricultural labor thousands and thousands of days' work direct from the farming class which ought to be producing food. The farmers work upon the highway not only for the income that it gives them, but also because they are interested in the good-roads movement. It seems to me that the roads could be advanced even more than they are now and not interfere with the actual work of food production. The custom should 'be established, or the example set, of preparing the roadbed to be graveled during the autumn and leaving it until the late fall or winter before the gravel is put on. The following spring the gravel could be put in place by the road machine and the work entirely completed. This would leave the agricultural community free to work on the farms during the crop-growing months of summer and the compensation for the work on the road would come as a sort of gratuity, because many farm teams are idle, or nearly so, during the winter months.

Seventh Annual Report of the Commissioner of Agriculture of the State of Maine, 1908 (Classic Reprint)


Book Description

Excerpt from Seventh Annual Report of the Commissioner of Agriculture of the State of Maine, 1908 In briefly reviewing the agricultural conditions of our State for the past year, while there have been some discouraging features, we see many indications of an upward trend in our farm life. The farmers are more alert, more anxious to learn new and improved methods, and are placing their farming on a broader and more intelligent basis. They have had to contend with some serious obstacles during the past year, such as unfavorable weather conditions which materially affected some of the crops, unusual insect depredations, etc.; but those who have learned to anticipate these conditions by providing supple mental crops, by a system of rotation and fertilization which tends to produce vigorous, drought resisting plants, and by intelligent methods of combatting insect pests, have kept the margin upon the right side.
