Farm Work for the Year
August
Stock farm:
Cheese and butter making proceed as in June and July. Milk yields more cheese per gallon in the autumn months. Cows at grass must have extra green food carried to them in the fields in drought. Sales of fatting stock may be effected this month when food for cattle in the fields is at its lowest. Swine will be bringing forth their second litters. The first litters are now strong young porkers, fit to go on the stubbles. The sows will want drafting; those intended for future breeding put on better pasture.
