Agricultural guidance urges Texas poultry keepers to cull low producing hens this August and September to save on feed and housing while boosting egg output. Readiness to breed improves by selecting hens with strong vitality, solid body shape, red combs, and alert behavior, while removing moulting or deformed birds.
Barn owls are valued by farmers for rodent control consuming hundreds of rats and mice each season with minimal harm. Some owls may raid henhouses but overall benefits to farms outweigh depredations from great horned owls.
A boy answers his father’s questions about math progress with a playful twist. He admits one wrong sum but reveals he did not attempt the remaining eleven, prompting a gentle moral about effort and practice.

An Extension Service note from Thomas H. Summers of Colorado Agricultural College urges farmers to keep three key records. An up to date inventory shows owned assets and debts, a receipts ledger tracks sales quantities and prices, and a expenses list records all operating costs. These records reveal farm profitability and steer decision making.
Crop specialists urge farmers to plant barley next spring because it serves as an excellent nurse crop for clovers and alfalfa, outperforms oats as feed for hogs, sheep, and cattle, and offers early maturity that improves drought resilience and enables midsummer grain feed with fewer threshings. Barley shades ground less, preserves moisture for young clover, and provides higher carbohydrate content with lower hull percentage.
A Missouri farmer and the Missouri experiment station ran a feeding trial comparing blue grass pasture with corn and linseed meal to a clover pasture with red corn and tankage. Pigs on the clover gained faster and at lower feed cost per 100 pounds of gain, showing clover's clear advantage over blue grass for rapid, economical growth.
Mange in hogs, a parasitic skin disease, is causing substantial losses to farmers in the corn belt. It lowers weight gains and feed efficiency, and packs valuation drops for mangy hogs at slaughter due to poorer carcass appearance and required skinning.
