A placard on an agricultural special train urged selecting good seed ears early in fall from standing stalks and drying thoroughly before cold weather. The text notes choosing ears in the field and storing them properly to ensure moist grain is dried, preventing poor seed quality for next season.
The article argues that the best seed corn often comes from the tallest, healthiest stalks in the field, not the largest ears. It warns against preferring looks over vigor, noting that the finest ears may reflect favorable conditions rather than true seed quality. Choose seed at maturity by evaluating both stalk and ear in the field.
T L Whemuler of Ohio State University explains selecting ears from hills that meet requirements, marking stalks, and waiting until harvest to cut. Ears should be dried thoroughly before cold weather to preserve germination, avoid heating or molding, and ensure proper storage with air circulation. A root room with air flow, racks, or ceiling suspension aids thorough drying before freezing.
A garbled note warns against teaching dangerous myths about toads or frogs harming cows. The text vows to end such nonsensical beliefs and dismisses sensational ideas about bile and milk, urging caution in handling and discussing the creatures.
The Breeder's Gazette offers step by step guidance for building a twelve by three by two and a half foot water tank. It covers excavation, form dimensions, wall thickness, cement mix ratios, placement of reinforcement, inside coating with cement sand, curing, and inlet outlet piping, plus tips on drain connections and form removal timing.
A crude clod crusher built from posts chained and bolted together is described. Bolts pass through links to keep posts from turning, with a top board secured by lag screws. A large washer prevents bolt heads from pushing through. The drag rolls to crush clods and does not push soil flat, serving both field and garden tasks.
The article compiles farm guidance on cab bage and turnips, potato planting, corn packing for silos, and strawberry and alfalfa cultivation. It notes careful plowing to curb imble-will, proper root setting for onions, and starting lettuce in winter with cold frames. It closes with a domestic scene of a hurried drugstore exchange.
A Boston court convicts a husband of non support for failing to provide for two children. The judge sentences him to one year in the house of correction, a punishment that leaves his wife and two children to bear the hardship while the law plays ironical, offering no humor in punishing the man by depriving him of the means to support his family.
The article argues wind can supply substantial energy for lighting with gasoline backups during calm spells. It notes England’s wind averages, and addresses weed control in dairy herds by replacing cattle with purebred milk producers to boost profitability, with some farmers joining associations to reduce costs.
The Kansas department of agriculture plans to establish a Bureau of Inspection to inspect grain feed seed and hay with the aim of raising standard levels. Chicago and St Louis already operate similar bureaus.
