It compares estimated station values with market prices, notes many fertilizers overpriced, and urges farmers to mix nitrate of soda, phosphate rock, and muriate of potash themselves. It warns against faulty fertilizer laws and highlights shelter and care for stock to reduce winter losses.

Pruning Old Trees In Winter For Best Healing
Old orchards require annual inspection to remove dead or weak limbs. In November and December the work benefits from a sharp saw and axe plus a two inch chisel to smooth wounds. Large limbs should be removed back to the trunk and wounds covered with a durable sealant to prevent water entry and worm damage. The piece notes white lead and varnish as effective coverings, warns against thick applications, and compares clay manure mixtures historically used.
