It covers selecting fruit varieties for markets, shifts to larger plows and harrows, egg laying records, dairy cow needs, hog and steer feeding, tapping trees by telephone as a sign of progress, strawberry mulching with rye straw, and a parable about a nest and a boy. It also notes veterinary growth, seed potato storage, planting density, corn cob variety debates, and general guidance on stock and seed decisions.
