Experts at West Virginia Experiment Station report two years of poultry tests. Hens fed a nitrogenous ration gained over ten times the weight of those on a carbonaceous diet, produced nearly twice as many eggs, and earned about four times the profit, despite similar feed costs. Egg hatch timing, chick vigor, and shell color also varied, with darker shells in corn-fed birds.
Guidance on hog rearing emphasizes ashes along with meat scraps, clover and grain rations for digestion and growth. It outlines bedding, dry exercise yards, clean pens, and winter housing to keep hogs healthy and productive through cold months.
Duck husbandry details emphasize deep water per duck, dry feeding, and spacious housing to prevent drowning and wandering. The article notes a farmer's daughter, Miss Beth M. Hayward, managing a large Hancock area orchard near No IL. The Hayward orchard spans 100 acres with 10,000 bearing trees, and she earned multiple first prizes at a New England fruit show while maintaining 3,000 to 5,000 barrels of fruit?
A new style of baby beef has emerged in parts of the east especially Pennsylvania. Fat cattle weighing from four to eight hundred pounds are now prime favorites in the markets.
The article discusses a sharp drop in U S bee colonies and the shift of beekeeping toward specialists, urging farmers to keep a few colonies for home honey and possible sale. It notes England’s bee sources, dairy practices, and suggests American hog feeding differences. It also mentions using blood meal for calves with caution due to protein content in alfalfa meals.
A compressed note on preventing potato scab by treating seed potatoes and avoiding land contact. It mentions clean seed as essential for a clean product and briefly ties in unrelated guidance about wheat bran and chick feed for young chicks to support digestion.
The column warns tender teeth require attention, demand for draft horses rises, and proper bedding matters. It stresses gentle handling, sufficient feed, and exercise, plus the value of silage, neat stables, and avoiding overfeeding or underfeeding. It cautions on old ewes, scrubs, and profit from well-kept stock.
A Washington State experiment station professor reports that common houseflies multiply and thrive in alfalfa fields. The finding has stirred widespread interest in the West and spurred scientific investigations to determine how to control the pest.
A man describes an unusual method to grow a massive squash by using a fallow jig duetlods and two wheelbarrow loads of old manure mixed with soil in a hill over a wide area. Only one plant was kept in the hill and only one fruit remained on that plant.
A fragmented note mentions not forging green feed and sprouting oats cabbages and turnips, combined with a wish to help keep a buddy's singing voice in tune this season. The text lacks clear events, dates, or identifiable entities for a fuller summary.
Bees produce honey with 150 pounds per average nest when thriving on alfalfa. The article notes bees rely on flowers and good conditions to yield, implying affordable honey output and value under favorable forage.
The buds unfold in spring and ripen into fruits in fall. To reap benefits from poultry, the flock must be separated into small pens. Overcrowding is a major mistake, as demonstrated.
