Farmers Use Limestone to Increase Fertility
Farmers are applying ground limestone as soil conditioner to sweeten sour land. The practice boosts clover and alfalfa yields and improves fertility. Communities form small buyer groups for limestone crushers to share costs.
Overcrowding Great Evil in Winter Poultry Houses
The article warns overcrowding as a top hazard in winter poultry management. It recommends at least three square feet per bird and suggests a dropping board under roosts to keep litter clean, with a 30 inch high board not more than six inches wide. It mentions adding a window under the board for light distribution and cautions on north-side window placement to avoid grafts.
Manure Applied to Land While Fresh Best Plan
The best time to apply manure is immediately after excrement is collected, hauled daily from the stall to the field. This direct transfer minimizes nutrient loss, reduces odor, and often lets the soil crop mature a year earlier while avoiding wasteful piles.
Attention to Scales to Prevent Mistakes
Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture, the notice warns livestock weighers to guard against winter scale errors. Cold conditions cause snow, slush, and water to freeze and thaw, altering scale action and producing undetected inaccuracies. Keep water, snow, and ice from the scale and pit and watch for beam changes indicating ice-related faults.

Destroy Chinch Bugs by Burning Out Fence Rows
Kansas State Agricultural College entomologists advise burning winter refuges of chinch bugs to kill them. Early winter burning of dry grass near the ground, preferably with a back fire, destroys about 985 of 1000 bugs by fire and heat, with variations by area and method.

Winter Egg Production Depends on Right Feed
Winter egg production hinges on proper feeding. Hens lay out of season, with spring and early summer production, then rest. Profitable hens need balanced rations tailored to class or breed to maximize economical egg yields.
Farm Hints on Inventory and Seed Quality
Farm inventory supports bookkeeping and planning. Spread limestone when possible. Cheap seeds abound but first costs lower yields. corn shrinks 16 percent from November to June, mostly in April May. Balanced feeding for chickens avoids waste. well fed pullets yield better later. Key growth needs include ample housing, range, clean conditions, and proper minerals.
Fix valuation of good fruit trees
The article discusses how valuing fruit trees is complex and depends on variety, soil, care, and market proximity. It notes courts have varied in damages decisions, often treating one year old apple trees as worth about one dollar and increasing value by a dollar per year to age twenty five, though this undervalues well cared for trees.

Aim in Winter Pruning For Balanced Fruit and Wood Growth
Horticulturists from Iowa State College advise heavy thinning on bushy trees to balance fruit and wood growth while avoiding large unnecessary cuts. Moderate thinning at the bottom suits rapid top growth, and removing many small branches can outperform cutting few large ones for fruit production. Paint cuts over one and a half inches and remove water sprouts.

Propagate Currants by Wood Cuttings and Layering
The article explains currant propagation mainly through hardwood cuttings like grapes, with tip layering as in black raspberries and green layering as an option. Fall cuttings stored indoors will root, while greenwood cuttings grow in frames during summer. Subsequent plants are separated in spring and grown in a nursery for a year before sale.
Cut Out Rotting Wood From Apple Tree Trunk
Exposed rotting wood in the trunk should be cut away and painted white lead paint to prevent spread. Injured parts may heal slowly unless removed. Apply five to six pounds per tree of nitrate of soda in spring to invigorate the tree and promote healing and larger fruit.
