Carden Farm Notes Provide Practical Agriculture Tips
Rye may be cut for hay and used for all classes of livestock. The demand for agricultural exports far exceeds the supply. Poultry manure is good for forcing onion growth. Stock raising is the best insurance against impoverished agriculture. A clover sod makes a foundation for corn. Use nitrate of soda for slow-growing crops. Worn-out manure aids mushroom beds. Keep stables clean to prevent flies. Kill Canada thistle by cultivating and weed control. Cow peas are grown with corn in corn regions. Gather wood ashes for soil use. Damp houses benefit from dry ashes and lime. Save seeds from vigorous plants. Thin leggy plants. Cut-go at them. Reverse ends of worn window blinds for new life.
