Pounds of Feed Needed for Pigs to Reach 100 Pounds
A Kansas station fed weanling pigs on alfalfa pasture to measure corn and tankage needed to reach 100 pounds. Heavier pigs at 52 pounds took 90 days to reach 105 pounds, lighter pigs at 43 pounds took 120 days to reach 102 pounds. Averaged results show 158 pounds corn and 14.4 pounds tankage per pig, with an average daily gain of 0.54 pound per day.

Planning Garden Space For Year Round Crop Rotation
Use every foot of land for gardens to avoid weeds and vacancies. Rotate long and short season crops to maximize space and reduce pests. Deep rooted crops precede shallow rooted ones, and interplanting between rows helps quick crops mature early. Potatoes corn and vine crops need space. small gardens can still fit early season vegetables between rows.
Scarified Clover Seed Yields Better Stand
An agricultural note compares scarified versus unscarified sweet clover seed. Scarified seed typically achieves about a 90 percent stand under favorable soil and weather, while unscarified seed may reach around 60 percent in February or March if ground conditions thaw.
Fertilizer to Produce Largest Profit on Farm

Ventilation Key for Safe Seed Potato Storage
Experts say ventilation matters most for seed potatoes to prevent sprouting and rot. Ideal storage hovers near 40 degrees with careful humidity. too high or too low spikes shrinkage and reduces vitality. Fresh air and moisture control through false floors chutes and improvised ventilators keep piles dry and oxygenated.

Plan Vegetable Garden for Profitable Results
The article advises renewing humus in soil to sustain yield. If stable manure is unavailable, use leaves and lawn clippings as decayed mulch or incorporate plant refuse. Increase humus by planting rye after harvest and turning it under the volgende spring to maintain soil productivity.
Agricultural Hints on Soil, Trees, and Seed Treatment
Agricultural hints cover optimal tractor load, potassium as a key plant food, and manure benefits. Notes frost resistance: wet soil freezes slower than dry, roots less frost hardy than tops. Advise gradual tree removal on slopes to prevent erosion and seed wheat treatment with copper carbonate to prevent smut. Suggest 20 tons per acre of well rotted manure or green manuring and emphasize time and drainage for soil prep.
Why We Behave Like Human Beings and Endocrine Control
