Farm Notes on Eggs and Poultry Health and Production
Blight resistant chestnuts are replacing chestnut oak in the field. Egg price varies by shell color and size, with white eggs sometimes valued higher. Spring yields are larger than demand, while fall and winter fail to meet demand. USDA develops hardy chrysanthemums and issues leaflets on pig roundworms. Eradication of avian tuberculosis may require culling entire flocks with thorough disinfection. Poultry houses and equipment require cleaning with carbolic acid or cresol solutions. Lime serves as a cheap disinfectant. Cow testing data show one third of purebred sires lower production, one third raise it, and one third show great gains. High herd production demands proven sire ability. Willian Butzler of Long Lake, near Fenton, lost two fingers when a shotgun exploded. Roy Ives tests apple blossoms and fruit from a South Bough tree in Sylvan.
