Regular Pruning Aids Disease Control in Orchards
Regular pruning removes diseased bark sections and disinfects tools to prevent spread of blister canker black rat canker and fire blight. Cut four to six inches below diseased twigs, burn red cedars near orchards, and prune in late fall to winter when trees are visible from afar.
Pruning Small Fruits Will Increase Yields
A L Ford of the South Dakota State college extension service says pruning small fruits boosts yields. Raspberries: remove last season’s canes at the base. head back long new canes. thin dense canes to eight or ten per plant. burn prunings. Gooseberries and currants: remove about one third of wood older than three years. keep center new suckers for future fruiting. avoid removing young growth.

Legumes as Grain Feed for Laying Flocks
Ohio experiment station tests show alfalfa, red clover, and soy bean hay can substitute for green feed in laying flocks. Each bird benefits from about one pound of high quality leafy hay monthly, cut in half inch lengths and fed in hoops. Alfalfa meal from green hay in mash offers another green feed option and good quality hay should be protected from weathering.

Litter Not Desirable Place for Grain Feed
Experimental work and practical poultry experience show hens need not hunt grain in litter to lay well. Feeding whole or cracked grain in troughs keeps litter cleaner, while litter aids footing warmth and cleanliness. Some grain may fall on litter, but scattering grain there serves no useful purpose unless no trough is available.
Poultry Hints and Practical Farm Advice
Poultry hints stress early chick hatching as good business. When hauling eggs avoid direct sun and insist cash payment on a quality basis. Incubators can hatch turkey eggs. keep the device clean, disinfect with formalin, and set temperature carefully. Sudan grass serves as summer green feed. Watch for frosted combs in wet cocks and distinguish lice from mites. Ducks often form puddles at drinker. a wire covered frame helps prevent duckling puddles.
Dairy Facts For Dairy Farmers And Cattle Men
Dairy facts emphasize a full dinner pail for cows equals a full milk pail for dairy men. Cows need salt and one pound per hundred pounds of grain mix. Poor pasture and no grain take winter to recover. Proper milking, management, and feeding boost returns. Tuberculosis risk with infected milk. tubercular cows should be removed. Water is essential for health, digestion, and milk production.
