75 Percent of Your Success Depends on Pullets Reared
Poultry guidance stresses clean houses and proper early conditions for pullet rearing. Start in a disinfected, dry house with ample space and ventilation, providing one to two square feet per pullet and avoiding cold stress. Reads like an industrial ad for Babcock Poultry Farm offerings and local agents in Ithaca and Manheim.
Cholesterol Research in Chickens May Aid Human Heart Disease Cure
US Air Force medical specialists studied over 50 middle aged executives to assess how diet and stress affect blood cholesterol. They found fat restriction lowers cholesterol in some but not all, while stress elevates cholesterol even with diet. Texas A M tests show fat in feed raises chicken cholesterol with cage confinement amplifying the effect. Laying hens show less cholesterol than caged hens. The findings suggest stress and confinement influence cholesterol in chickens, hinting at medical relevance for humans.

Tent Caterpillar Infestation Ending in Pennsylvania
Harrisburg reports the state's heaviest tent caterpillar outbreak in ten years is easing. In about a week or ten days a more destructive pest, the bagworm, is expected to appear. Unsprayed apple and wild cherry trees are the damaged hosts as caterpillars cross roads and form cobweb tents, though they pose no threat to houses. Dr. Thomas L. Guyton, director of the Bureau of Plant Industry, notes this pattern and cautions on sheltering in nearby homes.
