Unusually early shipments of day old chicks by local poultry dealers indicate spring’s near approach. The first consignment, numbering several hundred, was sent by a local hatchery in corrugated pasteboard cartons to a Maryland customer. Weather prospects forecast warmer days ahead.
Warmer weather brings more regular shipments. The poultry farm owner plans to ship several thousand chicks to customers in nearby cities and states over the coming months. Last year nearly 100000 day old chicks were shipped from and received in York for delivery.
A fragmentary article lists economical meat dishes such as Shin Bone of Beef With Creole Sauce and Savory Beef, detailing ingredients like shin bone, onions, paprika, and brown stock. It also notes cooking methods in a covered kettle for slow simmering and tender meat, with sauce variations and a cautionary historical note on the sale of women in China from a period review.
A United States Department of Agriculture bulletin outlines Bantam breeds as suitable for family egg production. It notes popularity for children and small ownership, with average annual egg production around 175 eggs, egg sizes from 12 to 18 ounces, and colors white to dark brown. Bantams eat 25 to 85 pounds of feed yearly, about half of Mediterranean hens and one third of larger breeds. A free copy of Bulletin 1251 is available from the Agriculture Department in Washington.
In a digressive moment from Gulliver’s Travels, Swift credits a hypothetical observer who would improve one ground to grow two ears of corn or two blades of grass where only one grew before. Such a person would deserve better of mankind and render more real service to the country than all the politicians combined.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture notes alfalfa is not ideal for silage though workable in certain conditions. Mixed with corn or sorghum and properly packed with moisture, alfalfa can yield acceptable silage and may cost less than other methods under favorable weather.
Pop Cornm grown in 1922 is not more ketable until June, 1923, and is a very uncertain crop for the average farmer to grow who is not in touch with the market. The average yield on the 13,000 acres grown last year was 7 bushels per acre. It costs considerably more to produce a bushel of pop corn than a bushel of field corn and under present conditions it appears that unless a man has been growing this crop for a number of years and is reasonably sure of being able to find a good market he had better not grow it this year.
Cultivate and fertilize the asparagus bed to keep crowns healthy during the summer so they can produce a heavy crop of shoots next season. Yield and quality depend largely on the treatment given this year.
