Replanting Corn Cited By Neighbor As Novel Practice
A Western Rural writer praises a neighbor who replants corn two to three weeks after planting. The man argues that dry spells during filling dry the silk and tassels, but replanted pollen revives silk and completes kernel filling. He notes most farmers dismiss this method yet urges trial.
Breeding Insight Emphasizes Thrift in Cattle
The article argues that abortive ears indicate pollen shortage and that fattening stock depends on good, thrifty beginnings. It warns against relying solely on pedigree, urging careful selection, early feeding, and selling the weakest calves to keep the best for beef or milk. It notes variation in native and full-bred cattle and the risks of perpetuating defects through herd-books.

The author argues every farmer with three or more horses should own a solid riding horse. Even with two horses a saddle is cheaper and more versatile than a costly harness and carriage on bad roads. A riding horse costs about as much as harness and carriage and adds value through proper care, encouraging horseback riding for both men and women.
