There are few conditions under which a healthy bull requires artificial food. As a rule, calving takes place between January and May, but it is worth the while of the dairy farmer to consider whether it will not pay him better to calve some or all of his cows in October and November. Winter milk will frequently pay ten-pence a gallon, where summer milk pays only sixpence. The question resolves itself more into the facilities which a man possesses, and he can work oat for himself the relative cost of his summer and winter feeding. If, by producing winter milk, after allowing sufficient margin for the extra cost of feeding, he can make more money, it would be wise to do so, one reason being that summer production is gradually getting too extensive, especially as regards milk-selling. Cows for calving should not be milked within at least six weeks of calving, and where there is any suspicion of milk fever, they are better turned upon poor pasture and their rations reduced by degrees. A fullfleshed cow should always be carefully watched, and there is no better plan than to administer good doses of Epsom salts two and four days respectively before the day of calving. Ordinary Jerseys are seldom troubled with milk fever or calving complaints, and may get 2 lbs. of bran daily right up to calving, after which their ration will be increased. Cotton-cake is one of the most valuable of milk-producing foods, and may be given on pasture at the rate of from 2 lbs. to 4 lbs. per cow through the summer, with advantage to the animal as well as to the land. In breeding, it will be found a good practice to put heifers to the bull at 18 to 24 months, although with the...

India's cooperative dairying program is widely celebrated as an example of successful rural development, yet the meanings of this success have been understood mainly through the pronouncements of national and international development agencies. Within such official narratives, there has been relatively little engagement with the geographies of dairy development, both its place-specific productions through political contests, availabilities of labor, and distributions of agricultural resources, and the unevenness of its outcomes across rural India. This absence is even more surprising given that village-level cooperatives comprise the foundation of India's dairy development program, and the work of women within rural households is continuously invoked as an integral part of the dairy work. This book extends and enriches current understandings of cooperative dairying in India to show both its value to rural communities as well as the limitations of its participatory structures. Combining comparative and ethnographic approaches, explanations for the diverse outcomes of cooperative dairying are provided from the perspective of the people and places directly involved in the everyday reproductions of rural development. This book contributes to existing understandings of rural development and rural geographies in four significant ways. First, by following histories of development from their local origins to their national and international appearances, the global genealogies that are usually attached to development are rendered more complex. Second, by connecting cooperatives to place, the ways in which participation in development reflects local struggles for power and, hence, are structured through local inequalities, is revealed. Third, by linking dairying and agriculture, the continuing importance of resource distributions in shaping the outcomes of rural development is highlighted. Finally, the crucial role of household divisions of labor in the success of village dairy cooperatives is explicated through showing how struggles over the meanings of rural women's work become key to enabling household-level participation in dairying. This book will be of interest to scholars in a wide range of disciplinary and interdisciplinary fields, including geography, sociology, anthropology, rural studies, development studies, gender studies, and regional studies of India.
Hokkaido Dairy Farm offers a historical and ethnographic examination of the rapid industrialization of the dairy industry in Tokachi, Hokkaido. It begins with a history of dairy farming and consumption in Hokkaido from a macro perspective, mapping the transition from survival to subsistence and then from mixed family farms to monoculture and "mega" industrial operations. It then narrows the focus to examine concrete changes in a Tokachi-area dairying community that has undergone rapid sociocultural upheaval over the last three decades, with shifts in human relationships alongside changes in human and cow connections through new technologies. In the final chapters, the scope is further narrowed to a detailed history and ethnography of a single industrializing dairy farm and the morphing cast of individuals attached to it, centering on their idiosyncratic searches for economic, social, and even ontological security in what is popularly considered a peripheral region and industry. The culmination of over fifteen years of ethnographic, policy, and historical research, Hokkaido Dairy Farm argues that the dairy industry in Japan has always been entwined with notions of Otherness and security seeking, notably in terms of frontiers.
