Plant Life Appetite studied by atomic scientists
Atomic scientists reveal plants vary in fertilizer use shown by radioactive phosphorus tests. Farmers can gauge if phosphate fertilizer costs will be repaid, based on how much the plant consumes.
Simple Dehydrator Saves Garden Crops
A homemade dehydrator heating unit serves as a room heater and brooding device on the farm. Proper drying removes moisture without harming texture color or flavor. Dehydrated produce offers better quality than sun drying in most cases, with sun drying ok in hot dry areas. Gas lamps risk bulb damage from drips while carbon lamps handle water better.
Minerals Will Improve Quality of Egg Shells
Improvement in shell texture can be achieved by feeding the minerals and vitamins needed for shell production. The eggshell is about 90 percent calcium carbonate. supplying shell-making minerals in the hens diet helps. Shell grit provides calcium carbonate but without vitamin D hens may not convert enough for bone and shell formation.
Nests For Turkeys Improve Hatch Rates With Adequate Space
Crowding in turkey nests will be reduced if ample space and nests are provided. Each nest should measure about 18 inches wide by 24 inches high by 28 inches deep. Eggs are often broken and soil others, so nests are recommended both inside breeder houses and outdoors during rapidly changing weather. The photo shows a Utah type turkey nest.
