The Maryland Agricultural Experiment Station built a cement hog house for fifty shoats or several sows, with eight pens and cement division walls to prevent pen crossing. The 93 foot structure includes a feed room and manure pit, with yard extensions, and shows good results for winter litters. Inspectors welcome to view.

We Should Grow Our Own Nitrogen by Legumes in Crop Rotation
W E Hanger argues for using legumes like clovers alfalfa cow peas vetch and soybeans to fix atmospheric nitrogen and enrich soil. He notes air nitrogen is abundant yet costly commercial nitrogen wastes money and can be lost from soil. He claims 3 to 6 pounds per acre from rainfall plus legume fixation could replace expensive fertilizer.

Remark on Crop Yields Supporting State Agricultural College
The note states Maryland grows about 650 000 to 690 000 acres of corn and wheat annually. A one bushel per acre increase in these crops would add roughly 403000 and 590000 dollars per year to Maryland’s economy. Such gains could fund a strong state Agricultural College.

Cheap seeds prove a bad bargain
A Maryland farmer compared timothy seed prices and quality. Jones bought $2.50 seed claiming savings but its weed-filled hay yielded $10 per ton, while Thomas used $3.25 seed with 99% purity and 96 germination, earning $26 per acre versus $15 for Jones. The cheaper seed cost less but produced far less profit.
