Selecting Seed for Superior Crops via a Corn-Tipper
The article explains farmer selection to improve seed quality by using only the largest kernels. It describes a corn-tipper device, resembling a pencil sharpener, that removes small kernels from the tip of ears by a revolving cone, leaving full-sized kernels for planting.
A Test of Christianity in Orchard Practice
An old farmer notes a man’s faith shown by how he handles fruit, not merely wood chopping. Proper pruning timing from June 15 to July 10 reveals what to cut, as leaves help identify weaker growth and fruit quality. Planting diverse trees alone, he warns, wastes years and yields.
Strawberry Bed Fertility and Watering Tips
There is no danger of soil being too rich for strawberries. Rich soil for potatoes will grow good strawberries. Apply chip dirt or well rotted manure with potash and rock phosphate a year before planting. Elevate beds to ensure drainage and prevent standing water. Excess moisture harms plants. Also notes on weed control by spraying sulphate of iron to kill mustard in grain fields.
Profits of Feeding Cows Grain at Pasture Studied
Researchers at West Virginia Experiment Station tested feeding grain to pasture dairy cows. They found no direct financial gain from grain feeding, though cows fed grain were in better flesh and produced more milk, the extra output cost more than the revenue. Similar studies at other stations align, suggesting dairy products must be unusually high in price for grain feeding to be profitable.

Milk kept near freezing breeds massive bacteria
M. E. Pennington of the Bureau of Chemistry reports experiments on milk held near the freezing point showing a steady rise in organisms for five or six weeks. Populations reached hundreds of millions per cubic centimeter, occasionally trillions. The milk never froze solid, yet after ten days to two weeks formed a mass of ice crystals. No odor or taste indicated the higher bacterial content, and heating did not produce curd until the end.
