A Cornell home economics bulletin outlines profitable poultry canning during low-price seasons. It covers prep timing after killing, high pressure processing, packing methods, gelatin-rich portions, and sterile sealing in jars or tins.
A fragment outlines how turkey eggs require uniform low temperatures not exceeding 60 degrees, with breeders incubating in a warm room to test hatchability. It notes age effects on quality and livability, suggesting trials of one to two age groups to assess outcomes.
A crude petroleum based remedy is described as the best treatment for Sealy leg in a fragmented note. It suggests mixing equal parts lard and kerosene, applying to the leg with the limb elevated for a short period, and warns of blistering if too much material is used. The text is garbled and contains unclear instructions.
Fragmented OCR text describes incubator timing for eggs with references to duck and turkey incubation, moisture, and unspecified observations. Mentions 29 days and 28 to 10 or 2p days, with unclear terms and measurements.
A 1920s style guide warns poultry keepers about cocciodiosis lice and worms, urging early treatment and thorough cleaning. It recommends simple remedies such as diluted nicotine and tobacco mixtures, sprays, and regular monthly applications to protect day-old chicks and the main flock from infection and infestation.
Corn and barley are cited as the best grains to feed growing pigs on alfalfa pasture with oats or mill feed as alternatives. If market-ready pork is the goal, feed corn or barley with outa or middlings and tankage in separate self feeders. A slop mix of 60 percent ground corn or barley, 40 percent middlings or reddog flour, and 10 percent tankage, blended with milk or water, is suggested though not required for grazing pigs.
Reading from a distorted note on goslings reveals confusion over sexing. The article discusses difficulty and varied signs in juvenile waterfowl, noting that vocalizations and physical traits may be unreliable indicators of gender at a young age.
Soybeans, long grown mainly for feed, are gaining value in the United States for oil, human food, and industrial uses. The crop now supports rotations, hay, and pasture, with nitrogen fixation aiding soils. A USDA bulletin, Soy Bean Utilization, outlines experiments and is distributed free by the Department of Agriculture.
Wisconsin agronomist L B Graber says harvest timing should rely on quality, not bloom stage, as root growth is crucial. Cutting late but before quality drops helps root development and boosts next season’s yield, while frequent cuts can stunt roots and reduce hay quality.
A fragmented note describes steps to repair tools and orchard equipment. It advises straightening broken parts, treating barked sections with lead oil, cleaning cavities to healthy wood, and filling with a cement sand mix. Materials are inexpensive and repairs avoid delaying other farm work.
Fragmented agricultural notes discuss sowing alfalfa with potash and fertilizers, timing for harvest, and preparing sandy and fertile soils. Advice stresses weeds control in lawns and rows, draining fertile soil, and managing costs versus effort.
