Agricultural tips on soft shelled eggs and farm implement progress
The article advises reducing morning wheat rations to curb soft shelled eggs in winter, noting hens gain weight from excess feed and should exercise in scratching material. It extols farm implement advances since 1850, claiming average bushel production times dropped to 41 minutes and labor costs fell to 10.5 cents per bushel, with productivity rising despite higher farm labor.
Roots or Bnatlage Cost For Ensilage In Drought Period
The cost of growing corn and ensilage varies from 1 to 8 dollars per ton with roots. A fair average is about double the low end for an ordinary farmer. Roots offer slightly better feed value but poor storage for late seasons and higher risk of crop failure compared with corn. Droughts push value of ensilage for summer feeding, potentially equal to or greater than winter stock feeding.
Keeping Eggs For Winter Use
The article explains several egg preservation methods for winter. Paraffin coating seals air and keeps eggs long in a cool dry place in a Dice box. If paraffin isn’t available, melted beef drippings or lard can work for two months or more. Salt packing in layers in a wooden box also preserves eggs for two to three months. Freshness is judged by the light test and the white yolk clarity. A Chicago Record-Herald note adds calf-raising tips, stressing early mothering and gentle handling, feeding warm milk, and ensuring the calf learns to drink with assistance.

Care of Hot Water Bag Instructions
Efficient care for a rubber water bag is given. Do not fill beyond half to keep pressure manageable. Lay it in the lap before inserting the stopper and press out steam. Drain and air the bag after use to prevent sticking. If stuck, use hot water with ammonia and gentle prying. Never fold a used rubber bag. A flannel cover is useful.
