Mineral Mixtures Good for Live Stock Feeding
Breeders expect mineral mixtures to become universal in livestock feeding, rivaling protein supplements. Early trials are limited but practical results show the practice is wise and economical, addressing breeding problems and offering strong potential for the future.
Setting Rhubarb Plants in Spring or in Autumn
Rhubarb should be set in fall or spring with careful digging to avoid breaking large roots. Divide old roots so each piece has three to seven buds. Use rich soil and manure, avoid sod or fence lines, crown two inches below surface, and choose red stalk varieties for best stalks.
Farm facts on moisture, weeds, and cooperative marketing
Weeds take about 60 percent of soil moisture and sanitation helps control poultry disease and hog disease. Big yields show thoughtful soil and patience. Marketing eggs by butter gives way to cooperative selling. Legumes help weather dependence. Farmers should collect eggs twice daily, store cool, and ship twice weekly in heat. Spring plowing may bring earlier corn.

Maintain a clean well ventilated dry poultry house on good range. supply steady mash and proper scratch feed. select high quality layers and vigorous cockerels to raise flocks averaging up to 150 eggs per hen per year. feed a mash of corn cheat and oats, not corn alone, with one pint per 12 hens twice daily.

Honey Crop in 1926 Hinges on Fall Bee Care
The 1926 honey yield depends on fall bee management. Weak colonies or old queens threaten next summer’s crop. Strong queens and wintered colonies can still be wiped out by winter losses. Unite weak colonies by stacking brood chambers with newspaper between, shake bees into one chamber after a week, and discard queen crossing risks.
Producing Winter Eggs Through Feeding Practices
Feeding pullets from hatch to maturity is vital for winter egg production. A mash of wheat brew, middlings, ground yellow corn, heavy cats, meat scrap, and salt fed thrice daily supports growth. milk boosts protein, bone meal adds calcium, oyster shell fed separately.
