Speaking of Pullets
MANAGEMENT
IMPORTANT
•• - ------
fn large flock performance depends upon the devel
opment of a bird's MAXIMUM EGG LAYING CAPACITY. Prop
er management of GROWING PULLETS is one of the most
important pr i ncipies contributing to success.
Other equally important factors
elude: good breeding, good feeding
and adequate sanitation.
For a sound, successful REC
ORD PRODUCING* program
which will raise your pullets at
a surprisingly reasonable cost

Farm production expenses
were estimated at |27.7 billion
in 19 62, which was a record
high. The continued increase
was due to higher prices paid
for production inputs and the
purchase of a higher proportion
of the items .used in operating
a farm business.

Swine Growers
Swine breeders need to havd
moie on-iail carcass evaluat
ions done on their market hogs
so (that they can adiust pro
duction programs to produce a
meat type pork the consumer
prefeis, a pair ol livestock sp
ecialists told county swine pro
ducers Wednesday.
Lester Burdette and Dwight
Younkm, both from the Penn
sylvania State Unneisity
speaking at a carcass bairow
demonstiation in the Kunzler
and Company, Inc. slaughter
house in Lancaster, said the
packer can evaluate the type of
hogs he kills on a day to day
basis, but breeder -packer eval
uations permit the packer to
know specifically what he can
expect on a farm to tarm basis
Younkm pointed out that such
evaluations permit the packer
to Know what kind ot hog they
aie purchasing fiom the pro
ducer.

ists, along with Carl Dalton,

It is nearly impossible to obtain satistactoiy im
provement ot poor pasture lam! until the acid in the soil
is at least partlj corrected. Poor pasture soils generally
require at heist tluec tons ot limestone, which however
need not be applied at one time.
lamcstoiie not only increases the pastille grass jield
and the quality ol the sod, but also increases the per
centage ol lime in the grass winch makes tor good bone
development ami high milk production. The high lime
content ot the bluegrass soils ot KontiicKj explain the
line qualitj ot livestock produced then*.
\o
It is also evident liom PeinisjUania expciiiuonts
that limestone used in pasturcland enables grass and
crops to withstand drj periods betfer.
§)
Here are two urgent reasons to apply limestone to
pasture and ha> oops;
For instance, a dairy tanner who took part in one
of the recent “Green Pastures” contests, reports that he
improved a 12-acre pasture by using two tons ol lime,
1,150 pounds of superphosphate and 11 loads of manure
per acre. The 13 acres were divided into three sections
and his 21 cons were alternated tor 110 da>s. He
reports saving $350 on. gram feeding costs and that his
herd produced 13,030 pounds more milk than in the
similar grazing period the jear bet ore.

Importance of Lime on
Old and New Pastures
1. The grazing season is lengthened both in the
spring and tall, thus reducing the dajs ol grant
feeding. An abundance ol good, low-cost Iced is
provided even during the hot summer.
3. Soil tertility is presorted and improved. Bower
cost leed results, and gram leeding, labor and
costs are reduced.
