Winter experiments in corn planting by J A Winter
Montgomery Alabama farmer Mr J A Winter reports experiments in corn culture from two trials. He first planted in rows 14 feet apart and 1 foot between plants, yielding 5 640 stalks per acre. A second trial on twenty acres used 12 foot row width and 1 foot drill spacing, showing crop gains despite harsh weather. He advocates wider spacing plus alternative drill to improve light air and moisture, planning methods for intercropping and future crops after corn.

Weights and Measures Unit List From an Old Text
This excerpt lists historical measures and facts: cubit two feet pace three feet fathom six feet palm three inches league three miles great cubit eleven feet. It also notes speeds and weights for items such as sound 743 miles per hour and a barrel of ice 3800 pounds.
How to Boil and Stew Properly for Flavor and Nutrition
The guide advocates starting foods in rapidly boiling water to set surfaces and retain juices. After a second boil, simmer the pot slowly with the lid on to extract nutrients and prevent tough, tasteless meat. Recommends gradual fuel use to maintain a gentle boil and avoid losing goodness with steam.
