The United States Department of Agriculture reports experiments showing gluten meal among vegetable proteins is less effective for poultry mash. It identifies fish meal as particularly good for stimulating egg production in common laying hens such as Plymouth Rocks and Wyandottes.
Department of Agriculture tests at Beltsville Maryland show a mash with 18 percent meat scrap and mixed grains yields good egg production in general-purpose hens. Heavier rations boost Leghorn performance but may harm health and egg fertility. Gluten meal tops among vegetable proteins, with cottonseed and peanut meals acceptable if supplemented. Fish meal performs nearly as well as meat scrap.

A New Jersey potato farm showed dramatic recovery after a state demonstration on sulphur use against potato scab. Fields treated with 600 pounds per acre yielded about 300 bushels per acre of clean potatoes, while untreated areas failed. Trials with 150 and 300 pounds per acre offered progressively less control.
Dairy farmers seek high protein feed with alfalfa to raise milk flow. Alfalfa, cheaper than nonleguminous concentrates, suits dry cows at 20 to 25 pounds daily and milking cows at 25 to 80 pounds. It is cooling, laxative, and highly palatable, reducing production when used instead of concentrated seeds.
A good crop of beets yields 6 to 8 percent tonnage of silage. Costs for gathering tops and packing sit around 1 dollar per ton. Tops must be promptly gathered and placed in small piles after topping to remove dirt and sand. Use a dense packing structure similar to corn silage. A well built silo is reasonably safe.
USDA experiments show alfalfa in cattle and growing stock rations yields better, more profitable gains than hay from Borghi grasses. Alfalfa is more palatable and consumed more completely, with little difference in results versus clover and other legumes.
