Plan Poultry Houses For Future Growth
Plan poultry houses with an eye to future development. Avoid backtracking and excessive walking by laying out the ranch for five to ten years ahead. Place initial buildings where they will end up later, centralize the feed room, and run water as the project progresses to reduce labor and trips.
Treating Body Lice in Hens with Powder
The article explains applying louse powder, including sodium fluoride and Persian insect powder, by holding the hen head downward and puffing a level teaspoonful of powder through the abdominal feathers to reach the skin for effective treatment.
Needed Minerals for Poultry by Ohio Experiment Station
The Ohio experiment station reports a simple mineral mix for laying hens: raw bone meal 60 parts, ground limestone 20 parts with 95 percent calcium carbonate, and 20 parts salt. They conclude these elements are most needed for profitable egg production and hen health.

Fertilizers Boost Soil via Green Manure Crops
United States Department of Agriculture outlines green manuring and cover cropping to improve fertility and reduce erosion. Legumes fix nitrogen, while phosphorus and potash boost yields. recommended rates: 800 to 400 pounds of 16 percent superphosphate and 100 pounds muriate of potash per acre.

Smaller Diameter Silos Gain Popularity Among Farmers
Farmers increasingly favor eight to fourteen foot silos over larger diameters. A smaller higher silo offers flexibility to adjust herd size and feed efficiency. A sixteen foot silo may be wasteful for smaller herds, while a ten foot silo eases changes and allows easy expansion by adding another silo.

Use of Fertilizers Returns Dividends
Tests at southwestern Kansas experimental fields show limestone boosts profits on slightly acidic land. I. K. Landon notes profit rises with acidity and recommends 150 pounds per acre of acid phosphate on alfalfa, plus manure when available. Net annual returns: lime $3.57, lime phosphate $9.48, lime manure $7.07, lime manure phosphate $12 per acre.

Growing high yielding strawberries requires ample space and well prepared soil. Plants must be properly tended and not left to weeds, as tending a thriving bed provides lasting, practical rewards comparable to outdoor exercise.
Agricultural Notes On Seed, Weeds And Crops
The notes discuss weed control before planting alfalfa, fertilizer use for profits, Sudan grass as hay, alfalfa suitability on land, crop losses from weeds and insects, the 1650 New York to Boston cobblestone road, soybean cutting after dew, windrow rating when wilted, soil types suitable for crops, sweet clover seed timing, trench silo as a low cost farm silo, and certified seed potatoes yielding better quality.
