The Agricultural World comments on maize-fed horses lacking speed and stamina compared with oats, and notes the value of certain feeds, fodder preservation, and management practices for pigs, horses, and peach leaf curl control.

Spraying in Bloom Affects Pollen Germination and Yield
The study compares pollen germination under Bordeaux and other spray mixtures on apple blossoms. Most mixtures hinder pollen tube growth and fruit set, with bloom spraying reducing yield by up to one and a half bushels per acre. Insects and disease control tests showed mixed results, and beekeepers fear pollen-bearing sprays harm bees, prompting calls for further research and possible restrictions.
