Farm Work for the Year
September:
Stock Farm:
Cattle at grass should be fat and ready for sale; they may have some early turnips or cabbages to help the greenstuff of the fields along with their cake, scattered in the pastures. Sheep may be put on rape, and ultimately on the earliest turnips. Breeding ewes should be put on better fare than they have had since weaning time. They should be dipped or run with some protecting fluid any time in September, to free their wool and skins from vermin. Pigs may be put to fatten, the larger stores for bacon, the smaller for porkers. Dairy operations are gradually shrinking.
