A garbled OCR note extols a salt and water remedy to support kidney function and urine flow. It asserts drinking water, using four ounces of a salt solution before meals, and mentions a long-used prep by a named brand to stimulate kidney speed and health.
Dr B J Brunett of New York State College of Veterinary Medicine at Cornell cautions poultrymen on chicken head anatomy that thin bone cones in brain cavities warm and humidify air. Col d symptoms arise from blocked drainage and bacterial growth causing foul roup odor. Prevent by warmth, dry litter, and ample fresh air. If untreated, simple colds may progress to bronchitis or roup, requiring heated housing and careful management rather than quick disinfectants.
Summary of experiments on cod liver oil for laying hens shows open fronted or free-range fowls do not need cod liver oil to prevent adult rickets, while confining fowls behind glass requires a vitamin D source. Adding cod liver oil at 2 percent of gray feed met vitamin D needs. 1 percent medical cod liver oil may be insufficient for confined birds. the oil used varies and its benefit for open pens with a normal ration remains uncertain.
A fragmented report outlines a four step brood management plan to boost chick survival and flock profitability. Growers are urged to ensure joints, vigor, and clean living conditions to save more chicks and raise overall output.

The fragment outlines farm tasks such as replacing broken fence posts and shading growing chicks, plus cleaning the barn area to prevent weeds.

The United States Department of Agriculture describes the open shed or covered barnyard as a practical dairy housing method for moderate climates. It preserves manure nutrients, keeps cows cleaner, and reduces costs compared to stanchions, with Beltsville experiments showing higher bedding use and greater freedom for cows. The Bureau of Dairy Industry builds sheds at field stations with pens and movable feeders to accommodate small groups. dehorning is advised for cows in open sheds.
The article argues feeding the land with self feeders, especially legumes, sustains soil fertility and livestock. It notes inoculation, lime, and adequate fertility are essential, highlights that many long-cultivated lands lack nutrients, and warns that sweet clover, red clover, and alfalfa fail on acid soils while alsike and white clovers tolerate acid conditions.
Prof. A B Yeager of the North Dakota Agricultural College announces Gold Nugget sweet corn. Planted May 21 and first ears picked July 21. Crossed in 1925 between Sunshine and Pickaninny. eight days earlier than Sunshine, with golden color and 8 to 10 rows. Yields nearly twice as abundant as Sunshine on college plots. results may vary elsewhere. Trials ongoing nationwide. broader results expected next fall.
The Tennessee experiment station recommends fertilizing asparagus to maximize future cuts. Apply manure at about ten tons per acre or poultry manure at one to two tons per acre. Do so in winter between rows, avoiding direct plant contact during the growing season.
The text warns that a weak colony cannot store surplus honey and risks moth destruction. It advises maintaining brood, ensuring strong numbers, and using flour as a pollen substitute when pollen is scarce. No patent needed to deter moths. strong colonies resist trouble.
