Farm News Notes on Fly Protection for Livestock
Farm guidance stresses summer fly protection as essential for thrift. Cleanliness reduces breeding, horn flies breed in cattle droppings, shade and well ventilated pastures lessen heat and fly annoyance. Barnyard hygiene and proactive in-place shading help keep sheep and cattle comfortable and productive.
Level or hill culture for potatoes and butter churning details
A correspondent asks whether level culture or hill culture suits potatoes and other crops in wet versus dry seasons. In wet seasons ridging reduces moisture injury, while on dry ground level culture minimizes evaporation. The piece also explains butter making, noting churn temperature around 62 degrees and millions of fat globules in a pound of butter.
Breeding for Better Cows Increases Long-Term Milk Output
When selecting for improved cattle, immediate herd changes are slow. About half the calves are males, with fewer bull calves possible, yet persistent improvement will, in a few years, yield cows doubling current milk and butter production. A good cow will work as two inferior ones.
Poultry care advice from a vintage note
Poultry notes recommend cleaning the poultry house each season and gathering droppings for garden use. Seal roosts with kerosene to deter vermin, raise a single breed, and sow lettuce in the yard for hens. Don’t allow young turkeys outside until grass is dry, remove and burn old nests, scald and whitewash, treat chicks with grease for lice, and gather eggs daily as summer eggs spoil quickly after 24 hours.
Chicks Hatch Timing Advice Delayed Until August
The article advises delaying chick hatching until late August after June and July yields poor results. It notes June and July hatchlings often fail or stay dwarfed due to heat and stresses thrifty hens. August hatch allows September chicks to become strong broilers for fall and winter.
Should eggs be turned for better hatch results
The text discusses turning eggs to prevent yolk settling and blood vessels attaching to shells. It notes hens turn eggs regularly, especially when in a nest or under a hen, and recommends daily turning for hatching eggs and at least once daily during incubation, with some advisement for twice daily to prevent chick deformities.
Early Hatched Chicks Separated For Market
Early hatched chicks are developed enough to determine sex, and all males should be separated and prepared for market. Fattening foods should be provided to speed growth as prices rise. Females need food to grow body and egg organs without excess fat, with pallets fully developed by October to begin laying and replace aging hens during molt.
Feeding Chicks on an Open Lot in Early Rearing
Do not assume chicks need little food when given a large yard. They should receive at least two full meals daily, one in the morning and one before dusk. For the first three weeks, feed them more often, up to four times daily. A practical diet for larger chicks is three parts cornmeal to one part bran in the morning and cracked corn and wheat in the evening, continued until maturity.
How Words Are Coined and Slang’s Lasting Reach
Over fifty years many terms enter English, some lasting, some brief. The piece notes slang to permanent language and cites bogus as an example from Borghese’s counterfeit bills once called bagus currency, illustrating origin shaping usage.
