Farm Institute Call to Help Improve Stock and Orchard
A 19th century note urges farmers to attend the county institute in January to exchange ideas on stock care, fruit growing, and farm improvements. It urges practical farming, warns against inbreeding, and highlights new machinery like the threshing and husking devices. It also discusses storage temperatures, crop rotation, and a slate of topics including adulteration in foods and butter regulation enforcement.
