Farm Work for the Year
February
Stock Farm: Cows now are coming more rapidly to the pail; but it is still better to sell the milk, or even to make butter at the prices usually offered, than to make cheese. The earlier calves, if heifers, are generally reared; if steers they are sold at once; or they may be reared, and even fattened, on skim-milk with calf meal or Indian meal or ground oil-cake. The ewe flock occupies attention. Lambing in the southern counties is in full swing. Fattening stock are being sold, as they are fit for the butcher.
