An article by W R Gilbert argues concrete floors in livestock buildings are best when impermeable and non absorbent. It discusses concrete as a durable, sanitary base, channels for waste, and contrasts with brick pavement and setts for cow and pig stalls, with cross sections of double cowhouse and double pigstye layouts.
The piece argues dry cows fit shorter pasture and lighter winter rations, aligning dry periods with late fall and spring pasture. It claims drying off avoids peak busy periods and keeps milk flow steady, but questions what objections there might be to this reasoning.
A farmer argues that brood sows thrive when allowed to graze in a corn rich pasture. He contends that pasture access keeps sows healthy and productive at farrowing, while confinement in a lot reduces stamina and disappoints owners.
A barn floor provides a tight clean area to mix grain for cows. Begin with light bulky feeds like corn cob meal or distillers grains laid five to six inches thick, then add heavier materials and turn the pile twice to achieve a uniform mix before loading into the bin.
When pasture thins, place fattening or killing hogs in a moderately close pen. Feed three times daily with a mix of fine feed and corn meal, and provide all the whole corn they will consume at night.
Farmers embrace a barbless wire fence as part of an abbreviated blessing. The piece notes the horse drawn wagon and plow alongside the fence, reflecting rural innovation and adaptation.
A collage of items includes Mrs Winslows Soothing Syrup for Children priced at 25e a bottle and remarks by Yale president Arthur T Hadley on youth at a New Haven tea. A Yankee attorney questions evidence in a murder case, asking jurors to locate proof that the bullet hit Pete Jackson.
Gladstone Manitoba reports 1913 wheat yields around 30 bushels per acre with top plots in Portage Plains reaching 61 bushels. Farmers like Noah Elgert and many others record strong averages from 30 to 61 bushels per acre as weather and harvest progress in Marquette Dauphin Binscarth and surrounding districts.
A workman digging explains he is digging for money and expects to strike it on Saturday. A curious wayfarer stops to ask what he is after. The reply, delivered with calm certainty, restarts the digging and the scene ends with no further detail.
A dialogue on child rearing reveals a blunt exchange about whipping. The woman questions punishment while another asserts physical discipline as essential to raising children. The snippet hints at a broader debate on parenting methods.
The Maxwell Motor Company urges immediate overhaul and worn part replacement to improve service and preserve value. It cites a $1,750,000 investment in Newcastle Indiana for parts and plant, with 45,000 bins and parts for 150 models, to restore 122,000 owners’ cars and protect second-hand value.
