Designing Yards For Sheep, Department Of Agriculture, Western Australia
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
This article has been adapted from a report of the 1976 Sheep and Wool Refresher Course.
The officers attending the Course inspected W. A. farms, and then met in groups to discuss what they had seen, and to pool their experience in compiling a report. This article has been adapted from the report of the group working on the topic "Sheep yards and facilities".
The W. A. representative in the group working on sheep yard design was Mr John Wise of the Department's Katanning office.
The principals discussed here should help farmers either design new sheep yards, or improve the …

W.A. Dairying : Progress In 42 Years, Maurice C. Cullity
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
From hardship and elementary standards, West Australian dairying has developed into a consolidated industry with larger herds, increased output and high quality production.
The changes he has seen are reviewed by Mr. M. Cullity who retired last month from the position of Chief of the Division of Dairying, after 42 years of service to the industry.
THE history of Western Australia's dairying industry has been a story of struggle against hardship, marketing problems and adverse criticism.
In spite of this the industry has steadily grown and greatly improved its efficiency.
Mastitis : Modified Teat Cups Give Better Back-Flushing, Department Of Agriculture, Western Australia
Mastitis : Modified Teat Cups Give Better Back-Flushing, Department Of Agriculture, Western Australia
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
Back-flushing of the teat cups has not brought the expected reduction in the spread of mastitis in some dairy herds.
Replacement of the conventional nut-and-tail nipple with a special flushing nipple, or use of a one-piece teat cup liner, will ensure that flushing is efficient.

A Modified Copper Hot Water System, F J. Fielder
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
A good supply of hot and boiling water for cleansing and sterilising utensils is essential for hygienic milk production.
Dairy Instructor F. Fielder, M.D.D., describes an efficient and economical modification of a copper hot water system for this purpose.
SINGLE copper units of 14 or 16 gallon capacity to supply hot and boiling water for the dairy are no longer good enough for most dairy farms.

Check Your Milking Machine, T Pavy
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
MILKING machine efficiency testing carried out by officers of the Department of Agriculture's Dairying Division have shown that many machines are not up to standard.
One reason for this is that farmers do not check their machines regularly.
Automatic Waterers For Day Old Chickens, P Smetana, W. Ward
Automatic Waterers For Day Old Chickens, P Smetana, W. Ward
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
ONE of the most tedious and time consuming tasks on a poultry farm is the provision of water to chicks from day old up to the age of three or four weeks.
Most poultry farmers use half-gallon glass fonts with metal bases for the first few weeks, until the chicks are old enough to use the automatic watering system usually situated along one wall of the brooder house.
This cumbersome glass font system can be replaced by the cheap and easily installed automatic watering system described below. This system has already been adopted by several local poultry farmers.
