A breeder discusses profitability of selling young stock versus raising birds as breeders. Emphasizes separating pullets for faster growth, shade to prevent sunburn, and careful grooming to compete at shows. Notes that good birds need good breeder care and that back-yard keepers can win prizes with proper grooming and management.
Feeding poults requires extra care in the first four weeks to prevent heavy tosses. Do not feed for 48 to 60 hours, then provide fine grit or finely chopped shell, sour milk or cottage cheese, and gentle feeds similar to baby chicks. Gradually shift to chick scratch and finely ground grains with a mash.

A discussion outlines how summer pruning can increase or decrease fruitfulness in apples. Results vary by region and tree age, with heavy pruning potentially reducing yields on bearing trees while light pruning may limit excessive growth by balancing leaf area and fruit bud development. Caution urged as outcomes depend on local growth and food supply.
Dr. R. W. Thatcher reports that acid arsenate and lime sulfur mixtures undergo a chemical change in laboratory tests, boosting soluble sulphur and arsenic and causing variable orchard spray results. Hydrated lime reduces the change, and skim milk protein may help, though more work is needed before recommendations.
Ohio plant pathologist H C Young warns lime sulphur sprays are largely ineffective for peach leaf curl in autumn or when trees are dormant. The disease shows early leaf puffing and curling, thickened puckered blades, and yellow to red-tinged leaves that may defoliate the tree, leaving it weakened and susceptible to winter kill and other pests.
The guide notes careful cherry picking to prevent fall of fruit and that removing stems shows no evidence of harm. It says commercial growers prune by cutting stems, leaving stem portions on trees, and the practice appears safe.
