Foultry Growth Depends on Green Feed and Clean Quarters
North Carolina State College extension poultry man F. Parrish stresses daily green feed for growing chicks, recommending lawn clippings oats alfalfa rape rye or similar crops. He notes increased feed as chicks age and outlines needs for clean dry quarters water and shade plus weekly droppings removal. The NC poultry industry shows rapid growth with wide adoption of blood testing for healthy hatcheries and flocks. over 150000 hens slated for blood testing next fall and winter.

Soil Color Indicates Soil Quality and Content
The color of soils signals composition and productivity. Dark soils rich in organic matter and lime are productive, red and yellow soils indicate iron oxide presence and high farming value, while white or light soils lack key constituents and are less suitable for farming except special crops.

Early Roosting Taught To Chicks In Poultry Houses
Guidance for poultry farmers urges starting roosting early for chicks. It recommends roosts on two sides and rear, elevated one foot, hinged at the back, built from two by two inch material with rounded edges. Roosts spaced ten inches apart with half inch mesh netting beneath to force use and prevent crowding.
Table Scraps as Feed for Small Poultry Flocks
Table scraps and waste foods form a balanced ration with scratch grain for a small flock of farm hens. Avoid spoiled canned goods or moldy feed as they can cause losses blamed on disease. Use a laying mash to ensure a balanced diet when scraps are insufficient. Dry mash with bran and ground grains reduces digestive issues.
Poultry Hatching and Flock Management Notes
Artificial hatching is used where turkey production is large scale. Sanitation lowers chick mortality under ten percent. fifteen to twenty percent is common elsewhere. Preserve infertile eggs to extend viability. Sell or kill cockerels after hatching. Check if hens are moulting and sell while prices are strong. Plan feed to balance growth. Clean houses before chicks arrive and weekly thereafter. Preserve eggs in water grass when cheap. Pullets should be mature before production starts. Feed extra grain now to build flesh.
Sweet clover pasture value in mixed pastures study
University of Wisconsin dairy heifer experiments show sweet clover yields 0.331 pound daily gains versus 0.727 in mixed pasture and 1.1 in blue grass red top. Per acre annual grazing days: 152 for sweet clover, 157 for mixed pasture, 176 for blue grass red top. Good crop land can support permanent pasture.

Pit Apples Burying Method For Preserving Varieties
The Farm Journal says pit apples can be kept satisfactorily by burying them in well drained ground. Varieties like Ben Davis and Russet benefit. Dig an eight to ten inch pit, cover with straw, add earth when temperatures drop to twenty degrees, and layer straw and earth in colder weather. No ventilation is needed.

New Bait Boosts Beetle Trap Effectiveness
The U S Department of Agriculture reports that increasing geraniol and Eugenol in Japanese beetle trap bait doubles the catch, with two and a half times more beetles than the old bait. The recommended formula yields about one third of a pound, enough for a large trap, while smaller traps should use adjusted amounts.

Danger Periods in Life Cycle of Dairy Heifers
Missouri College of Agriculture researchers report three growth spurts in dairy heifers from conception to maturity. The first rapid growth occurs at the fifth and sixth months before birth. A second spurt begins two months after birth and ends at four and a half months, with abortion risk around seven months. The third growth period runs from 12 to about 26 months, guiding targeted feeding during peak growth.
