Selecting the calves for rearing
Whit calves are to be reared why some should be discarded early. It pays to give away unpromising calves rather than rear then, though exceptions exist when calves improve later. Indicators of promise include strength, vigor, and form, while dam influences may affect birth development and future yield.

Cross Fertilisation Reveals Vast Plant Variability and Value
The article describes cross fertilisation in plants, detailing how pollen from one plant fertilises another’s female organs to create diverse offspring. It notes many seeds yield plants different from their neighbors, with some crosses producing hundreds of distinct sorts and potential economic value.
The Value of Subsoiling in Soil Drainage
Subsoiling aims to stir subsoil without mixing with upper soil to increase exposure to air. This introduces oxygen to promote nitrification, making heavy land lighter as air reduces clay cohesiveness. Drying clay reduces stickiness and aids crumbling when air circulation accelerates drying.
Sub soiling Shows Lasting Benefits After First Crop
Experiments indicate that advantages from sub soiling persist beyond the initial harvest, with positive effects continuing for several years rather than ending with the first crop.
First Cross in Cattle and Its Breeding Limits
The text explains that the first cross between established cattle breeds often yields superior stock but outcomes vary due to prepotency. It cautions against attempting to create new breeds via crossing, stresses the value of returning to a pure sire after a cross, and notes similar patterns in long woolled breeds and mixed types. The safe rule urged is to adhere to the first cross and revert to the pure sire.
