Better Breeders Render Big Service to Industry
Clemson college animal husbandman Prof. L. Starkey says two classes exist in purebred breeding. Constructive breeders study pedigrees, select carefully, cull intensively, and improve the livestock industry. Destructive breeders focus on registration rather than conformation or economic production, leaving poorer herds.

Hogging Down Crops Is an Economical Plan
A study compares hogs fattened with dry lot feeding to those allowed to gather grain. Hogs in dry lot averaged 1.50 pounds gain per day needing 621 pounds feed per 100 pounds gain. Hogs grazing gained 1.59 pounds daily using 478 pounds feed per 100 pounds gain. Removing fertilizer value reduces soil nutrients but grazing returns about three quarters of plant food.

Preserving Manure With Pit A Simple Farm Trick

Feed Sheep Before Breeding Season for Better Health
Farmers are urged to prepare ewes for breeding by boosting feed. Recommend 2 to 4 pounds of a grain mix of three parts oats to one part wheat bran, plus easily digestible seeds and two to three weeks of extra grain before breeding. Maintain heavy, nutritious forage and silage if available to ensure strong body condition entering winter and breeding.
Fertile Eggs Spoil Fast in Hot Weather
Warmer weather speeds spoilage of fertilized eggs, egg dealers report. Poultry specialists advise producing infertile eggs since mating does not affect egg quantity. Embryo development begins at 88 F. 85 F for days or 100 F for a day can render eggs unfit for food. Infertile eggs tolerate 100 F for a week or more and stay usable for cooking if kept cool.
Ready Market for Grain Sorghum Demonstration
