Poultry Breeding Stock Considerations for Hatching Season
North Carolina State College advises poultrymen to separate males after the hatching season and cull underperformers. Discard birds not meeting type color and breeding standards to avoid losses. Consider building low cost summer range houses and note fertile eggs may incubate after removal. Maintain economy to keep the flock profitable through summer.

Feather-Producing Geese and Egg Breeds Compared
The Rural New-Yorker notes all geese breeds can be feather producers with Africans being tougher to pluck live or dead. White Chinese, Toulouse, African, and Embden lead for eggs, with four main breeds widely kept in the country for various purposes. Differences in strains affect egg production more than breed alone, dependent on the feeder.

Shade for Young Pullets
Shade is of prime importance for poultry during summer months. In crowded houses lacking shade, mortality rises. A cheap shelter can be built with 2 by 4 supports and thatching using bagging or green branches, but shelters must be cleaned of droppings at regular intervals.
Poultry Jottings On Back Drafts And Flock Care
Poultry notes discuss a 3 to 4 inch cap above the stove pipe to prevent back drafts and advise continual mash and grain after ten to twelve weeks. Chicks lack teeth but have a gizzard needing grit. mites infest joints, nail holes, crevices in droppings boards, perches, walls, and roost supports. About 40 of every 100 eggs set fail to hatch. Warmer weather lowers egg production and meat yield, so treatment for mites is essential for high returns.
Modern milk handling boosts safety and quality
Dairy bacteriologist I M Brannon notes widespread adoption of milk ordinances across about six hundred municipalities. Modern cooling to 40 degrees and pasteurization reduce disease risks from TB undulant fever and mastitis, while vigilance against typhoid diphtheria and other contaminants preserves flavor and safety. Clean baths cows and utensils plus prompt cooling drive higher quality milk.

Oats Lead as Feed for Horses in Missouri Farmer
An expert writer in the Missouri Farmer extols oats as the best grain for horses describing them as light palatable and balanced. Gorn is noted as good but should comprise one third to one half of the brood mare ration. Wheat barley bran cowpeas and other feeds are discussed for dietary balance and health benefits.
Dry Up Milking Cows Weeks Before Freshening
An authority in Pathfinder Magazine advises drying up all cows at least six weeks before freshening. If milk production drops below two and a half gallons daily, signs of mastitis may appear and the cow can be dried by reducing grain by about three quarters and ceasing to milk. An alternative is skipping milkings for a week before stopping, but reducing grain is easier and effective unless milk output is very high or disease is evident.

Old Bees Die In Seasonal Colony Changes
The text explains that winter-reared older bees become unable to work as spring opens. They forage for early nectar and pollen and tend the brood. As new workers emerge they help rear brood, allowing brood size to grow until it peaks around early summer. The old bees then die off rapidly.
