Early feeding guidance for baby turkeys covers water, sand, and frequent meals. Suggested foods include hard boiled eggs clabber cheese corn bread and pinhead oats with gradual introduction of grains as poults grow. Maintain hunger to stimulate foraging and provide green feed grit. Protect brood from predators and storms by housing during rain. ensure hen roosts in coop nightly.
Late Molters The most desirable of the late laying hens which molt as late as September 15 or later should be mated with the best males of the flock or preferably with males secured from a breeder of a good strain of production bred stock.

The practice of air cooling replaces stale air in egg chambers and slows hatch. Early hatches require little cooling beyond that received during turning. If cooled too much twice daily, recovery to 103 degrees takes time, causing three to four hours in each day for eggs to develop below the target temperature.

He stresses the need for reliable data before state funding.
Pruning currants and gooseberries by April first is advised by the New Jersey State College of Agriculture to boost fruit size and vigor. Remove dead canes, thin older wood, discard weak or ground touching canes, and leave most one to three year-old growth to achieve better yield and easier spraying and picking.
Light pruning before bearing helps young orchards. Pear trees grow more upright than apples. Most productive orchards get the least pruning. Proper pruning at planting reduces the need for severe cuts in early years. In older trees, pruning corrects changes from heavy cropping over years.
