Practical advice on turkey egg handling incubation and care from AGLAIGMER. Discusses removing eggs, replacing with fresh, turning daily, hatching timelines, avoiding chicken-turkey hybrids, lice control, feeding for poults, and keeping birds in dry clean air with free range when possible. Includes cautions on using kerosene, grease, and overfeeding.
Clover serves as an integral egg producer and mineral source in a balanced ration. It compares to barley in nutritive value and helps extend food rations, reduce grain reliance, and prevent internal fat accumulation. The second crop, or proven clover, should be cut at full bloom and tested until early nasturtiums brown.
Advice discusses obtaining fertile eggs and avoiding overcrowding to improve hatch rates. Mentions breeding and selection practices, with notes on egg quality, incubation challenges, and achieving better average outcomes.
Farmers receive guidance on poultry house upkeep, brood sow care, purebred stock, and isolation of boars. Advice covers feeding, proper grain mixes, grit needs, salt supplementation, garden space, and winter planning for higher egg production and fattening efficiency. Includes notes on turkeys, cattle, hogs, horses, and dairy profitability.
A farm note suggests building a hay pen around a feed stack to prevent waste. Posts set at each corner, ground nails, and a 3 foot high wire or 2x4 rail to keep stock from jumping in. Use poles if 2x4s unavailable and space for heads to reach hay.
A historical note argues against overfeeding calves from cow milk. It explains that calves require only four to five quarts daily, even from dairy cows bred for high production. The piece cautions against letting calves drink all milk from the mother and emphasizes grazing cows’ natural limits rather than feeding greedily.
An Ani Illustration shows a cow restraint with gripping arms joined by a pivot bolt and outer disks. The arms fit the animal’s body and disks press at joints to prevent kicking, creating a securing method for livestock management.
A dry yard surrounding the dairy barn is ideal to keep milk in perfect condition. Crushed rock and cement are expensive, so a clean dry area helps prevent contamination by manure and keeps the yard easy to maintain daily.
A mixed set of local items includes a card of thanks for condolences and hospital care, a Brotherhood meeting notice at St. John’s Church on May 5 at 2 20 P M with Henry G. Horn as president, and a dissolution notice of Wiseman & Gray with Edward Wiseman continuing the business in Hamilton Ohio dated May 2 1912. Also included are fragmented horticultural tips on transplanting shade trees and soil management and notes on farming practices.
