The commonwealth. (Greenwood, Miss.) 1896-1923, 1912-03-15


Alfalfa is an old plant,
New feed adds palatabiIity
Are you using a goo0 strain Of seed?
Don't allow the sweet corn fodder
TO waste.
Peas are strongly recommended for
fattening sheep.
Sunlight for little pigs is almost as
essential as food.
Rape is one OF the best crops for
temporary hog pasture.
Horses should be carefully handled
In cold, stormy weather.
Late Matched turkeys should never
be used for breeding purposes.
Clean hay cannot be obtained from
soil that is foul with weed seeds
In broiler raising careful attention
should be paid to the breeding stock.
~
Sheep ought to be kept because OF
the influence which they exert UpOn
fertility.
Keep the brooder houses in q clean
sanitary condition and never over
crowd.
More pigs are raised in Pennsyl.
vania than in perhaps any other state
In the union.
In keeping COWS never be without
clover, 1t is one of the foods essen
tial to good d~airying.
See that your brood sows get plenty
Of exercise SO that they may produce
large, healthy litters.
a man cannot work on boiled tur,
nips alone, neither al a horse work
on a diet Of straw and fodder.
The matter of spraying and pruning
Is important and vital In connection
with the apple growing industry.
Ge~ntleness and patience are always
important in the dairy barn, but
doubly so when handling the young
heifer,
The busy hen is the productive one;
hence she should be so fed as to in
duce the greatest activity, If in con
lnement.
Weighing and testing a cows milk
will never make her give more, but 1t
will make her owner appreciate her
real worth more.
Winter dEirying provides more care
and better feeding, but 1t also comes
at a time when it is possible to give
this care and feeding.
Keep the hogs well bedded on cold
nights and provide sufficient shelter
for them so they will not be inclined
to crowd each other too much.
If market hogs are your specially
your aim is Of course to produce from
your brood sows as large a number
Of strong, healthy pigs as possible.
Lambs Of low vitality and ewes de-
hcient in milk flow at Landing time
are usually the result Of improper
management during the pregnant pc
Rod.
When out in the barnyard OF corral
the cows like to keep busy picking at
some corn fodder or other roughage
even II they get enough feed In the
stables.
Clean pens, stalls, bedding, etc, and
plenty of ventilation are important,
and without these things the hogs are
in such weak condition they are like
Iy t. take anything.
Npnaa a1go rao,,ira tbirtv do ys frr
incubation ana 1t is customary to
hatch at least some Of them with
hens, since the geese are heavy and
often not inclined to set.
When dirt from the COW or from
the mixer is introduced into the milk
there is not Dly|introduced the bad
Of the manure, but also some
ferments common to The digestive
tract.
The hens must be kept quiet to In.
sur good digestion. If they are wor-
rted, chased or frightened 1t has a
very bad effect 81 their health. A
sudden fright will often cause a hen
to drop dead Of apoDlexy.
Save the heifer calf from that
row that gave 1000 or more pounds
Of milk last year. She VIII be
worth a lot of money 10 somebody
when she liz giving milk. Begin to
make a dairy COW out of her now
by seeing that she gets plenty of
Iced and exercise. Good mich cows
ran be ruined when they are not treat
I'd properly.
