Odd Remedies and Agricultural Notes From An Old Ledger
A fragment from an 19th century agricultural column discusses home remedies for animal health such as a cautery of the eye to prevent steers from jumping fences and a toothache cure using spirits and saffron. It also cites a Montgomery Ledger note warning Southern planters against overplanting cotton and urges cereals farming for food security. The piece includes sheep parenting tips and sheep twin management, detailing how to raise orphaned lambs and fostered twins.
