Breeders should cull young boars to retain only exceptional prospects. Prof. Starkey notes boar growth is costly, often unprofitable, and boars perform best when raised alone in large runs with ample exercise, shade, water, and shelter. Boars reach best growth around one year, though for herd needs they may be used at seven or eight months.
Dr. R B Birch advises using serum alone to protect suckling pigs until twelve weeks old, then wean and apply the double treatment. This approach minimizes losses and aims for lasting immunity, as noted by Geo Hw Glover of the Colorado Agricultural College Veterinary Department.
Oats are generally more profitable for cattle than hogs. They should not exceed half the price of corn for hog feed, and only a third of the mix when corn or barley is used. The future price at sale time remains uncertain.
Ground barley improves pig care and appetite compared with dry grains. Soaking may help pigs eat ground grains, but is not usually required with grinling. Pure bred breeding stock should weigh 140 to 160 pounds when well fed, not pushed for show. Show pigs can reach near 200 pounds by five months.
Hogs need outdoor exercise in summer while winter confinement in quarters can be neglected. Some success comes from placing sleeping quarters away from feeding areas. In centralized houses the two may be too close or share a building, making separation impractical.
A readable report notes blistering in rape crops caused by a fresh moisture and heat mix. Preventive steps include keeping pigs out of serape parcels until dew or rain evaporates from leaf surfaces. A Myera patch in feed is suggested to save grain in pulsing pies.
A long guidance piece by William A. Radford explains planning a new home this season. It highlights an unusual design with multiple gables and clapboard siding, a large reception hall, seven rooms, and bright, airy living spaces. The article details a concrete block basement and efficient heating advantages for this frame house, 27 feet 6 inches wide and 48 feet deep, with two upstairs bedrooms and three on the main level.
The article argues for fire safe, masonry construction and fire resistant roofing as essential for a durable home. It warns that cheaper builds crack, settle, jam doors, and fail in fires, with insured losses often not fully covered. A fire safe home adds community wealth, reduces risk, and may ease financing through stronger mortgage security.
The article extols sturdy locks and hardware as key to comfort and security in a small house. It argues durable fittings reduce repairs, save money over time, and increase resale advantage for owners.
Fragments describe consideration for hardware choices amid timing and fittings. Mentions doors and windows and the need for careful planning of components and fittings.
Allen G. Oliver of the North Carolina State Agricultural College outlines a two-yard system to grow green crops year round for poultry. Yard 1 and Yard 2 rotate greens and grazing from April to April, using oats, clover, vetch, rye, cowpeas, buckwheat, and turnips to provide nutritious forage and shade while preventing overgrazing. This plan aims to extend pasture use, improve flock health, and reduce reliance on external feeds.
The New Jersey experiment station pantry department recommends a packing method to prevent egg breakage. Start with an excelsior pad in each compartment and place a filter on top, then fill eggs with small ends down. Alternate flat and filler layers with pads, ending with an excelsior pad and flat on the top.
Pullets fall behind in egg production when not properly established in winter quarters. Beginning in the wrong housing disrupts their development of egg organs, and moving them later disturbs them, reducing egg yield.
Separate hens ready to lay from pullets. These hens perform well and now need fattening feed to build them up for tacky spring laying. Eggs from these hens will be valuable for hatching and should be reserved for that purpose.
Farmers should market older hens and early pullets before the breeding season as prices fall quickly after laying declines. Sell two to three weeks prior to cessation of lay to avoid price drops, and rest hens heavily for up to ten days before sale to maximize returns. Maintain steady feeding and minimize weight loss during this period.
Gas products association reports successful use of oxygen tins as a cure and preventive for sea sickness. Following tests, Lewis notes gas can be packaged in small containers suitable for suitcases.
A compact offer urges readers to order the Instrument and 1925 Almanac for $1.48 postage paid, or only the Almanac for 50 cents. It instructs to send orders to the office and notes the thermometer and almanac will be needed next year, urging immediate action.
