This article argues hands on butter work is unsanitary and spoils texture. It recommends washing with pure water, matching wash temperature to buttermilk, proper salt addition, and avoiding direct hand contact. It notes using a bowl or tray and paddle as a better alternative for small batches.
The article advises not to hold hogs beyond readiness for market as feed costs erode gains. It cautions light feeding as risky and heavy feeding needing supplement feeds to push pigs from 150 to 200 pounds toward 200 pounds or more, aiming for substantial profits.
The article outlines keeping mares in open sheds day and night with individual tie spots for grain to prevent feed theft and aggression, recommending racks for roughage in the yard.

An editorial argues for widespread alfalfa cultivation across the corn belt to boost soil fertility and farm yields. Citing state acreages and benefits, it urges farmers to start with one acre, then expand, claiming alfalfa outproduces clover and corn in protein value, enriches soil, and supports larger herds, better butter fat, and stronger farms.
A Paulding banker projects a $20 million rise in Ohio farm land value by year end from the sugar beet industry. He notes investments exceeding $5 million in new beet factories, urban workers moving to farms, and higher yields on sugar beet land. He urges expansion of factories in Ohio and Indiana and warns against hostile federal legislation.
National Magazine expert Truman G. Palmer explains that sugar beets deeply loosen the soil to 10-14 inches, require a weed-free bed, and a fall plowing to store moisture. Their deep fibrous roots break and rot, forming humus and channels that aerate the soil, allowing subsequent crops to access nutrients two to three times deeper, potentially doubling output without more land.
