The USDA stresses sanitation as key to preventing livestock disease. Well-kept, clean barns reduce reactors, while old, dirty facilities hinder disinfection. A dairy herd example shows heavy losses from TB when sanitary conditions lag. Proper drainage, manure removal, durable surfaces, light, and hygiene drive healthier cattle and lower costs.
Using vegetable refuse green manure and manure substitutes, apply 5 10 5 fertilizer at one pound per 30 square feet. If unavailable, use 4 8 4 or similar high middle, balance with acid phosphate and potash as needed. Poultry manure may be used at one pound per 10 square feet. Wood ashes help, coal ashes loosen soil. sift before use.
Oak leaves contain nitrogen but it is not very available and the leaves are sour. They should be mixed with lime and well worked over. A blend of three parts fine bone meal to one part muriate of potash mixed with the leaves provides a fair manure substitute. For few tomato plants use small mixed batch. for large acreage, buying the chemicals and mixing at home may pay.
New York State College of Agriculture Ithaca cautions farmers to compare prices before buying lime marl versus limestone. Marl may be similar in calcium carbonate content but Cornell experiments show it slightly less effective. price at $12 per ton versus $5-$7 for limestone makes marl less economical. Local farm bureau and agronomy staff offer soil and lime guidance.
Marketing season for turkeys is brief from mid November to late December. Start feeding with small amounts to keep birds slightly hungry, then raise to three feedings daily the week before marketing. Use a mix of wheat and oats early, shift to corn as weather cools, avoid corn only too early. Old corn is better than new. Nuts and acorns also help if available, but a grain mix of oats, wheat and corn yields best results.
As breeding time nears, shepherds favor flushing ewes by increasing feed to promote weight gain. A healthy, not overfat, condition yields larger lamb crops with twin births rising by about 10 percent and overall lambs raised by 20 percent or more. Thin or moderate ewes benefit most, high flesh stock less so.
A warning on cutting alfalfa late in fall stresses judgment in timing. Notes on manure from a well-fed horse, ideal work weight around 1600 pounds, and belts efficiency when grain side or grain facing. Advises early handling of a six month colt with gentle training and tasks like haltering and light hitching to a sled.
A raiser outlines molt management for hens. Older hens should be culled if not valuable breeders, while younger flocks require gentler, natural care. Reduce heavy food for a few days, let hens roam, provide oil meal up to twenty percent, monitor droppings, avoid drugs, and favor sunflower seeds for healthier feather regrowth.
The market seeks fattened birds and high prices. Feed for three weeks to a month with sound, generous rations and sour milk or buttermilk. Avoid confinement during fattening. Select breeding stock first and mark birds. Selling the largest birds yields best prices but can reduce flock vigor and cause losses.
The exhibit outlines two contrasts in poultry: strength traits such as a short broad head, stout beak, bright prominent eyes, red well developed comb, broad body and stout legs, versus weaknesses including a long narrow head, long straight beak, dull sunken eyes, undeveloped pale comb, narrow body and sharp breast. It notes legs set beneath the bird and worn toenails as strength indicators, with long stiff or bent legs as weaknesses.
The male and female guinea fowls look so similar that many struggle to tell them apart. Males show a larger helmet and wattles with a coarser head, but the surest method is listening to their calls. The female’s cry sounds like buckwheat while the male emits a sharp one syllable shriek.
A vintage advertisement touts S. S. S. as a cure for rheumatism by building red blood.
