Seas Hold Plentiful Food if Developed Through Pisciculture
Speaker argues seas provide vast food potential beyond land, citing 1866 report on coastal yields and a lagoon pisciculture study at Comachie. He notes eel, mullet, atherines, and soles yielding five cwt per acre over sixteen years, suggesting artificial development could greatly boost supply. He compares inexhaustible salmon rivers with potentially finite cod and herring fisheries, detailing the enormous cod shoals near Lofoten and the vast feed needs of such populations.

Keeping Old Cows for Profit in Retirement
A National Live Stock Journal piece argues that retaining old cattle is rarely profitable. It highlights rising feed costs, declining digestion, and poorer flesh quality as age advances, noting milked cows yield diminishing returns and that most cows should be culled for beef by ages 12 to 14 unless extraordinary quality justifies longer use.

How A Pasture is Made
An excerpt contrasts pasture making in Britain and Holland with typical American practice. It details selecting land based on suitability for lush grasses, soil preparation, seed choice for green forage, drainage or irrigation, weed control, and fertilization, noting many farmers neglect these steps and misapply land best suited for crops.

Pasture Lands Often Fail to Benefit Society
The land used for pasturage is usually a consequence of waste or neglect rather than a planned benefit. Farmers crop corn for years, shift to grain, then lay land to grass for mowing, only to see the yield decline. Eventually the land serves for summer stock feeding rather than productive use, reflecting a lack of purposeful improvement.
