United States Department of Agriculture scientists describe efforts to breed corn with long tipped husks that deter the corn earworm and reduce damage from the weevil. The goal is a self protecting ear that fills well while hindering pest entry and exit. Variations in husk length among strains offer material for developing the desired long tipped variety.
The Colorado Agricultural College study by George H. Glover shows cocklebur burs are definitely toxic, with young pigs most at risk though mortality remains low since burs are rarely eaten. It notes oils and fats like milk and bacon fat as possible treatments in acute cases.
A practical rural note advises selling old hens in fall after laying stops to cut winter costs. Pullets are preferred as winter layers, while keeping old birds adds cost without proportional returns. Hatchery plans hinge on pullets, with cockerels sold when marketable to maintain flock productivity.
For best silage quality, put the crop in at the right time. Sorghums make excellent silage when heads are mature and seeds cannot be crushed by finger pressure. Corn should be harvested when kernels are glazed and denting. sorghum should not be harvested too green. Sorghum silage has less acid than corn silage when cut at proper maturity.
Rye offers a versatile pasture for hogs through fall winter and early spring. Pigs with rye access in winter utilize other seeds better, brood sows gain stronger thriftier pigs, and planting should start as moisture allows.
The spring lamb proves the most profitable farm product in recent years. Early birth and good feeding boost returns. Ewes should be bred within four weeks to maximize next year’s spring lamb profits.
Clover growth signals a top farm. however few farms have clover or mixed fields. A ton of clover hay provides far more protein than timothy or red-top. Connecticut station notes clover boosts milk yield and mineral reserves. lime application aids clover, especially red clover, and hardy northern seeds improve success.
Investigators at the Pennsylvania State College agricultural experiment station report immature Kentucky blue grass yields superior nutritive value, with 50 percent more digestible crude protein than the average of 44 eastern pasture grasses. The plant thrives in Pennsylvania climates, found along roadsides and near barns but requires limestone and complete fertilizer for maximum pasture growth, especially in Greene and Washington counties.
To eradicate thistles a thistle cut now will reduce next year’s weed, saving fertility. Use a sharp hoe or scythe and cut closely to the ground. Do a few cuttings before they seed to kill roots and prevent regrowth. If other noxious weeds are present, cut them too.
Practical notes advise on hogging off corn nutrients and strawberry plant care for a maximum 1926 crop. Soybean silage is protein rich but lower in energy compared with corn silage. Human and horse labor dominate farming costs. monitoring both pays. A silage mix of cowpeas to corn yields high protein feed.
Control measures for the common chicken mite include removing interior fixtures and thorough disinfection with a strong spray. Kill mites by spraying crevices, burning rubbish, painting roosts with preservatives, and repeating spraying after a week. Isolate new birds to prevent infestation spread.
New Jersey poultrymen report best results when greens are abundant. They plant oats rape and alfalfa for range and supplement with cabbage kale and Swiss chard. Alfalfa sod and rape provide fresh growth though rape darkens yolks. Oats stay tender only briefly. Adequate green feed raises egg production, with six to eight pounds per 100 birds daily.
A Leghorn cockerel may become a rooster but never a rooster. Preservatives or creosote protect roosts and nests from mites. Do not let a sick chicken die on the premises. kill it before it dies. For best results, feed a balanced ration and avoid overfeeding. Fat hens do not lay less. exercise promotes health. Use a hoe with 15 or 18 inch blades to clean dropping boards weekly. A scratch grain mix should be equal parts cracked corn and whole wheat. feed some in the morning to spur activity and provide what they will clean up in 15 to 20 minutes at night.
Forest City Iowa and Denver Colorado testimonies praise Lydia E Pinkham's Vegetable Compound for women's illnesses and recovery. Mrs Borgelin reports relief from years of back pain after treatment and caring for a baby eight months old. Mrs Fine credits improved appetite mood and health after use.
Ohio poultry expert E. L. Dakin notes that in 1880 there were two hens per person, now nearly four. He calls the hen the greatest food producing animal in the country.
