Concerning the Jap rifles, sfter WW 2, the gunsmith and experimenter P. O. Ackley experimented with loading military bolt actions of the era with heavier loads until they blew up. The jap rifles came out the strongest. They had a good design that made use of inferior steels. Now, near the end of the war the Japanese did make some crude last ditch weapons that were dangerous. One such design was a blow back automatic rifle that used the Japanese military rifle cartridge, which was entirely too high pressure for such an application.
Japanese military rifle cartridges were the 6.5, which is slightly less powerfull than the 6.5 x 55 that someone mentioned, and the 7.7 Jap which is a 31 caliber cartridge slightly less powerful than the .308. Either of the Japanese cartridges would make an adequate deer cartridge if somebody had one.
I read somewhere that the 30=30 has killed more deer than any other cartridge in the US. For comparison's sake, the 30-30 is very slightly more powerful than the 7.62 by 39 that someone mentioned as giving satisfactory service in the Ruger mini thirty for hunting. The problem with using Soviet design military rifles such as the AK 47 and the SKS for hunting is that they have terrible sights, especially for someone with old eyes like mine. One of them with a scope would probably be ok for hunting deer sized animals.

Potatoes were grown for sale and oats were grown to be used for cattle and horse feeding. Up to about 1958 the dairy cows were fed hay with some turnips and after that grass silage was the main winter feed. That same year was the last in which flax was grown on the farm. Flax provided the fibre which w
