Manure Disposal From Piggeries, P Mcnamara
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
Many new piggeries have been built during the past year as more farmers swing over to intensive housing.
In most cases the problem of effluent disposal has been overlooked. This article shows how some pig raisers are beating the problem.
Piggery Septic System, N E. Macintyre
Piggery Septic System, N E. Macintyre
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
ONE of the problems of intensive houses for pigs is the disposal of the dung and urine.
If proper arrangements are not made to remove this, it soon accumulates in an offensive pile at one end of the piggery, making an excellent breeding ground for flies.
Individual Sow Feeders, P Mcnamara
Individual Sow Feeders, P Mcnamara
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
FOOD is the major cost in any pig enterprise and it is particularly easy for waste to occur in the breeding herd.
Individual feeders enable the pigman to feed each sow according to her need, and enable the sows to eat their feed slowly or quickly as they choose.

This gradual development may eventually lead to his desired layout.
Termites Or White Ants, Clee Francis Howard Jenkins
Termites Or White Ants, Clee Francis Howard Jenkins
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
TERMITES are commonly but erroneously called "white ants."
Actually they are more nearly related to cockroaches than to ants, but their general appearance and subterranean habits have given strong support to the popular designation.
They may be divided into two major groups from an economic point of view, viz., wood-dwelling and earth-dwelling termites.
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.
Lot Feeding Of Beef Cattle. 3. Facilities Required For A Feed Lot, W J O Wilkie
Lot Feeding Of Beef Cattle. 3. Facilities Required For A Feed Lot, W J O Wilkie
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
MANY THINGS must be considered in planning a feed lot.
The site must be well chosen, fencing, gates and yards must be adequate for the cattle carried and feeding and watering facilities should be of a high standard.
Other things to consider are the provision of shelter and shade for the cattle and buildings for feed storage and other purposes.

Weed Control In Irrigation Channels, Geoffrey A. Pearce
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
Probably the major task involved in maintaining drainage and irrigation channels is the regular removal of weed growth.
The cost of hand chipping a standard head channel is approximately 10s. per chain.
The use of suitable chemicals could reduce this cost considerably.
Lot Feeding Of Beef Cattle. 1. Introduction, W J O Wilkie
Lot Feeding Of Beef Cattle. 1. Introduction, W J O Wilkie
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
"LOT FEEDING" of cattle is the name given to the operation of bringing cattle in from pasture and giving them the total ration they are to receive in open or partly roofed yards.
The roof would be intended to protect the feed trough and not the cattle.
Sharpening And Care Of Mulesing Shears, A L. Jones
Sharpening And Care Of Mulesing Shears, A L. Jones
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
THIS year will probably see more sheep mulesed in Western Australia than ever before.
It is not surprising, therefore, that some improvements have been made to the standard mulesing shears.
New modified shears make mulesing easier —but they must be properly sharpened.

Attack The Rabbit At Home : Destroy Warrens And Harbourage, J S. Crawford
Attack The Rabbit At Home : Destroy Warrens And Harbourage, J S. Crawford
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
Effective rabbit destruction often calls for a carefully worked out control programme consisting of poisoning, fumigating and warren and harbourage destruction.
Possibly the most effective means of not only controlling rabbits but ultimately eradicating them from holdings is the destruction of warrens and harbourage.
The Levy Nest : A Useful Aid To Farrowing, P Mcnamara
The Levy Nest : A Useful Aid To Farrowing, P Mcnamara
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
The levy farrowing nest which has given good results in England is a recent innovation in Australia.

Migratory Movements Of Emus And Control Efforts, John L. Long, T. J. Tozer
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
ALTHOUGH little data has been recorded on movements or migrations of the Emu (Dromaius novea-hollandiae), it is well known throughout the farming community that some such movement occurs in September and October in most years at least.
Swing Fence Flood Crossing For Creeks In The Kimberleys, A L. Payne
Swing Fence Flood Crossing For Creeks In The Kimberleys, A L. Payne
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
FENCING is the basis of the regeneration programme on the eroded Ord River catchment area, and the fences constructed must cross numerous creeks.
But heavy downpours of short duration characterise the wet season experienced in this area.
Because the rain falls on to bare, compacted ground, run-off is intense and gullies and creeks rise rapidly, causing serious damage to conventional fences and flood gates across watercourses.

Well Designed Cattle Yards, W J O Wilkie
Well Designed Cattle Yards, W J O Wilkie
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
GOOD yards are those in which cattle can be handled quietly, safely and efficiently.
The manner of handling is as important as the design of the yards.
Too much dog or whip can make cattle difficult, in even the best of yards.
Udder Preparation For Milking, W G. Robinson
Udder Preparation For Milking, W G. Robinson
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
REGULAR routine methods of preparing the udder for milking hare long been recognised as essential for good "let down" of milk.
The biggest problem so far has been to combat the spread of disease, in particular mastitis from udder to udder by the milker's hands or the udder washing cloths.

The Effects Of Tillage Implements On Cereal Yields, H M. Fisher
The Effects Of Tillage Implements On Cereal Yields, H M. Fisher
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
Careful soil preparation is essential for cereal crops grown without fallow on clover ley land.
Crops give better yields where the land is broken up with a mouldboard or disc plough rather than a scarifier or similar machine.
The implements differ appreciably in their capacity to control weed growth and this is largely responsible for variations in cereal yields. "Takeall" disease is reduced by efficient weed control.
