Heavily perched roosts invite injuries and bumble foot in heavy fowls. Keep roosts and dropping boards as low as possible for easy cleaning and safer exits. Dropping boards should be wide and positioned close to walls to restrict vermin spread.
The article notes a nationwide shortage of quality poultry, with heavy breeds in high demand. Plymouth Rocks remain popular, Rhode Island Reds rise due to breeders and a specialty club, White Wyandottes and Buff Orpingtons show steady gains, White Leghorns lead in premium white eggs, and Ancona is poised to grow from West and coast to East and South as a strong egg producer.
Farmers lose about £50,000,000 annually due to bad egg production and handling. About one third of this loss is preventable from partial hatching of fertile eggs. Roosters fertilize eggs without increasing output. they should run with flocks only during the hatch ing season and be confined afterwards.
The article advises cleanliness to prevent disease and drafts, notes Ancorns and Leghorns as strong layers, and stresses sunflowers for shade and autumn value. It warns turkeys need varied feed and free run, and young toms make good breeders. Early egg handling boosts profits and fresh eggs fetch premium prices.
A sow should be moved to a separate farrowing pen days before farrowing with clean warm dry quarters and guard rails. Bedding is minimal to prevent entanglement. exercise and a reduced grain ration with laxatives aid recovery and pig survival. Night checks and occasional yard exercise help prevent constipation and losses.
Prevention rather than cure is advised for worm troubles in pigs. Eggs hatch after ingestion and can cause lung problems, pneumonia, and stunted growth in young pigs or death in severe cases. Clean pens with boiling water and lye, keep sows and litters clean, move them to fresh pasture, provide clean water, rotate feeding grounds, and change bedding regularly to avoid infestation.
The article explains alfalfa used as a soil feeder for potash phosphorus and nitrogen, noting more is removed when cut for hay. If used as cover, the first yearly cutting is allowed while two later cuttings remain. Do not keep alfalfa more than three years in orchards. after, practice clean culture for about two years before replanting a cover crop.
Observations on animal stubbornness across species. The text notes cats resist tail touches calves brace against restraint and young horses show similar resistance. It suggests that as a colt matures and strength grows, overcoming this obstinacy is needed for a work horse.
A drawing shows a portable adjustable base for gasol ine engines. Two heavy beam assemblies bolt under the engine and extend as handles while two floor beams receive the engine and align with holes for a locking rod. The system allows varying belt tension by choosing different lock points.
The plant louse, though small, acts as a huge multiplier on hosts like shrubs and garden plants, causing extensive damage. Early action is urged before curling leaves form, with nicotine or tobacco dust as effective treatments and thorough spraying of both leaf surfaces to ensure insect contact and death.
The text stresses the woodlot’s value regardless of land roughness and urges watching market conditions as prices vary. It notes timber type matters, outlines costs for cutting hauling and milling, and suggests estimating salable trees by section or whole lot and supervising extraction.
The Weekly Press Bulletin from the Ohio Experiment Station notes milk and buttermilk as valuable feeds for young chicks. Milk supports rapid growth and helps prevent diseases, especially coccidiosis, though sanitation remains essential to stop soil-borne germs.
Illinois Experiment Station researchers report that feeding white corn and tankage to sows and their litters leads to poor growth, higher deaths, and neurological signs postweaning. Yellow corn and tankage prove more palatable and productive. pastures or legume hay may correct the deficiency.
H. M. Garlock of the Missouri College of Agriculture at Farmers' week says consistency in livestock farming boosts prosperity. A steady in‑and‑out approach hurts profits. balance between crops and meat animals depends on farm size, rotation, and market access. US corn production yields 2–3 billion bushels yearly with 80 percent fed to livestock, signaling corn growers rely on livestock demand.
When cholera comes your way the safe course is to call the nearest qualified veterinary surgeon and have him immunize your dogs. Do not attempt to treat it yourself or inspect neighbors hogs as you may spread germs on your feet and infect your own herd.
William A. Radford offers free farm building advice while detailing a 91 by 24 foot hog house with 26 pens and raised floors. The design emphasizes drainage, dry bedding, sunlit south windows, and simplified care to protect sows and piglets during early spring.
Five skeletons of an extinct camel genus were found in a quarry near Agate Springs in Sioux county Nebraska. The bones suggest the camel originated in North America. Rev John Chapman reports bones of camels were dug up at Anvik Alaska.
Scientists estimate the sea has existed since the earth cooled enough to hold water, based on sodium ratios from continental washings. The result suggests the ocean's age lies roughly between 80,000,000 and 170,000,000 years, though precision remains limited by uncertain calculations.
The Scientific American notes that Nebraska Wesleyan University research using Weather Bureau thunderstorm reports found no link between barometric pressure and distant radio audibility. High static frequency and nearby storm zones reduce reception at the distant receiver.
An advertisement touts Cuticura Soap as a multipurpose product that cleanses skin during shaving and bathing. It claims to double Tazor efficiency and promote fort and health with no mug, slimy soap, germs, waste, or irritation even when shaved twice daily.
The Detroit News reports a Danish mission in Hoggar in the Sahara produced district maps and noted scientific finds. Touareg society is caste-based with nobles and commons. freed slaves now labor for others. Islam influences practice but women play significant governance roles and may receive visitors without their husbands.
Automobile tourists report a massive rock image resembling Chief Ninot along Boulder canyon. The famed Indian, whose camp once rested in the Colorado Rockies, is the subject of the curious rock figure attracting visitors.
