Agricultural fraud and a bogus lottery letter exposed
A Port Deposit style hoax scene appears with a bogus check, a fake lottery offer to a Iowa official, and a sharp letter from J. M. Shaffer criticising the ruse. The piece ends with agricultural instructions on seed selection and corn preparation from the American Agriculturist.
Manuring Corn in the Hill For Better Early Gain
The piece advises hill fertilization for corn when manure is scarce or a quick start is needed. It discusses using swamp muck compost or mixed active fertilizers like ashes and superphosphate with soil, cautioning against seed injury. It notes that after planting, fertilizes such as superphosphate and gypsum can be applied on the hill with good effect and highlights abundant, farm made or bought manures.
Early Planting of Corn Preparation for Northern States
In May northern farmers face cold wet weather delaying corn emergence. The practice favors early but not too early sowing with weed control and occasional harrowings. Planting main crop around late May to mid June is preferred with early maturing varieties.
