Questions Answered By State College Question: Do you recommend black locust for forest planting? Answer: Yes. The black locust grows very rapidly and is one of the most durable of woods in contact with the soil. This makds it de sirable for fence posts and other building material that is put in or on the soil. It is also one of the le gumes of the tree family and will enrich poor, eroded, or other deplet ed soil. A mixed planting of black locust, with pine is recommended for piedmont and eastern Carolina. Question: Should a cow be milked clean up to freshening time? Answer: Some dairymen follow this practice but it is not advisable as it always reduces the milk produc tion during the following lactation period and is a heavy drain on the vitality of the cow. Each cow needs from one month to six weeks time before calving to build up bodily strength and to store up • energy needed for calving and future milk production. Question: How many eggs should a t hen lay to pay the cost of her feed? Answer: The number of eggs re quired naturally fluctuates with the cost of feed, but a good formula to follow 1s to divide the price of 100 pounds of feed by the selling price of eggs per dozen and multiply the result by thr6e. This will give the number of eggs 100 hens should lay each day. From this the aumber can be figured for any size flock. If the flock is not paying feed costs, cull out the low producers. It it is paying, cull anyway and increase the profit per bird. TO.
