Manure and Green Manuring for Garden Soils
The amount of manure depends on soil condition from 2 to 30 tons per acre, about 4 pounds per square foot. Poor soils need more than rich or mellow soils. Leguminous crops like soybeans and vetch fix nitrogen when plowed into soil, a practice known as green manuring between cropping times.
Best Time to Commence Pruning Various Trees
The article explains pruning timing for several fruit trees. Apple trees can be pruned after dormancy begins. Grapes should wait for a cold snap and after temperatures drop near 15 degrees. Peach pruning should wait until spring to assess winter injury to fruit buds and avoid cutting down potential crops.
Farm Notes on Forest Loss and Livestock Care
Forest fires destroyed over 83 million dollars of U S forest products last year. Sweet clover can be seeded from fall to March 1, same as oats. Heating water for hens with coal or wood saves feed costs. Dry sand or ashes on the dropping board prevents freezing and eases cleaning. Do not store seed corn in barrels or over laundry or stables. Alfalfa should be a permanent crop on every farm. Warm drinking water encourages livestock intake in cold weather. Clipping hair around cows' hindquarters improves cleanliness. Use plenty of water when putting up stover silage and note it is palatable and nutritious though not equal to ordinary silage.
Economical Basis for Dairy Ration
A USDA bulletin argues that legume hays like alfalfa and clover yield far more digestible protein and nutrients than nonlegumes such as timothy. It asserts dairymen can cut feed costs by growing and feeding more legume protein, with alfalfa often the most practical choice.
