Breeding and Feeding Cattle Advice at Shrewsbury Institute
Dr Manly Miles urged breeding from thoroughbred stock to improve uniformity and show that culture and selective breeding shape traits like speed in horses. He favored green fodder in silos, discussed crossbreeding limits, and noted the economics of ram selection in sheep. He advised early milking for productive heifers and warned against overfat dairy cattle.

Treatment of Jersey Calves by J H Walker in The Country Gentleman
J H Walker condemns high feeding of calves for dairy stock, urging minimal stimulation and a distended digestive system. He advises bulls receive only hay or coarse food, and heifers before first calving should be fed very distending rations with coarse hay and ragged feed to stretch digestion.

Minding on Peas and Beans for Flavor and Season
A reader recounts last year’s peas grown by his wife and praises deep planting with mulch for cool moist soil. The piece warns that shallow sowing dulls flavor like rubber and notes September beans can be delicious when properly planted and mulched for late-season use through November.
Root pruning experiments boost fruiting in old apple trees
Experiments over twenty years show removing half the roots in one season and half again later redirects growth into fruit spurs. Cutting large roots two and a half feet from the trunk while leaving smaller ones lengthens spur-bearing wood. Repeated cycles and expanding root cuts yield thicker fruiting after several years.
Wheat crop risks in late-August seedings warned
The London Garden notes that work on wheat stands late in August and early September is unproductive as growth slows and leaves remain on the trees. Plowing up a deficient spring stand wastes seed and labor, and failure due to poor soil threatens the next crop as well.
