For leaf crops a light spray of nitrate of soda speeds growth and improves quality, while acid phosphate aids crop setting.

Do not apply to foliage or stems. keep away from leaves and stems.
Laying Hens Need Clean Water in Clean Vessels

Commercial duck farms replace breeding stock yearly since ducks lay most eggs in the first year. Two year old ducks often yield thriftier ducklings than younger stock. Some breeders keep stock to three or four years, but that isn’t common. Farms usually obtain new drakes each year to avoid inbreeding.
