Seed Breeding and Pedigree in Plants and Animals
E. Lewis Sremvant, Director, notes progress at the Accretional Experiment Station Geneva, detailing seed breeding concepts. He cites Major Hallet of Brighton, England, and Waushakum corn tests showing yield gains from selection and rogueing. Concludes with principles of selection, transmission of superior vigor, and eventual stabilization of a fixed type.

Polled Cattle Value Gains Noted in Polled Dairy Herds
The N. E. Farmer notes that polled cattle command value for absence of horns and calm temperaments. It cites sightings in Philadelphia 1876 and later in Pennsylvania Maryland and Virginia, where polled cows appear as strong dairy stock. Breeding with pure Suffolk polled bulls could yield improved stock without inflated prices.

Winter Rye Gains In New England For Feed And Hay
Winter rye proves valuable as a green forage in early spring and as hay. Farmers extend rye plots to avoid buying hay, noting earlier cutting than seed, grain used with corn on the ear, and potential need for more farm machinery as rye crops expand. The author, N. E. Palmer, cites rising rye adoption and a two-crop strategy as key to better farming. The Northwestern Agricultural Society of Corry schedules its next annual fair for the first week in October.

A Novel Idea For Cabbage Seed Production
An Iowa farmer proposes a method to raise cabbage seed by planting the entire head, burying it with the top just under the surface, cutting a cross shape in the head, and keeping weeds down while staking the stalk. The grower promises an abundant seed crop.
