Timely Farm Questions
Q. How often should a poul
tryman collect eggs In cold
weather?
A. At least four times a day,
cay poultry specialists at State
college. Since eggs will crack or
freeze when the temperature
gets as low as 29 degrees Fah
renheit, many eggs may be lost
unless frequent collections are
made.
Q. Can you give me some fig
ures on the value of pasture
for feeding hogs and beef cat
tle?
A. Livestock specialists at
State college estimate that it
takes about 11 bushels of corn
to produce 100 pounds of pork
when corn alone is fed to hogs
on a dry lot. Only seven bushels
of corn are required (or hogs
that graze a good Ladlno clover
pasture.
One acre of good Ladlno pas
ture should produce about 300
pounds of beef when yearling
cattle are grazed. One acre will
produce about 225 pounds of
beef when grazed by a beef |
cow and her calf, since It Is 1
recommended that two acres of
improved pasture be used for
each brood cow when calves
are sold at around 450 pounds
In weight.

dairy farmers are now using
artificial breeding?
A. Farmers in 79 of the state's

12 months. The total number of
