An illustrated Prairie Farmer item shows constructing a land roller using four old mowing machine wheels with drilled holes, oak planks, a central sickle bar, and a wooden frame. The design adds a platform and wagon tire seat, with a mower tongue used as the roller tongue, claiming easier turning than a log roller.
Indiana Farmer notes mulberries are underutilized yet versatile fruit. They ripen over months, good fresh, for pies and jellies, and provide shade. Trees support swine and poultry feeding, attract birds away from other crops, and standards suit commercial plantings while dwarfs fit family orchards.
The Sultanina Rosa, a seedless large red grape similar to Tokay, attracts California attention for shipping and eating uses. Indiana Farmer notes its firm texture and rich flavor, predicting it may rival California’s best grapes for wine or table use.
The article urges beekeepers to provide close water sources near hives using pans with chips if needed. It explains rapid water absorption and thirst relief in bees, animals, and humans, emphasizing water’s vital, unstored role for health and vitality.
A writer describes a versatile box that can cover bee hives in winter and serve as a chicken coop in summer. It should be water shed, with inside dimensions of twenty four by twenty by twenty inches to fit the Langstroth hive.
A design describes a novel bee hive box with a ten inch wide end hole and a movable slide door. A waterproof top cover is added, making the box useful for hens with chicks in summer and for wintering bees in fall by closing the entrance two inches from the bottom and packing with chaff.
Instructions advise planting grape cuttings as soon as spring work allows. Set cuttings in ground up to the top bud at a slant for best rooting.
