A Rural New Yorker feature describes an easy to build grain elevator that speeds unloading. The device rests on a platform and lifts bags to the second floor for quick bin filling, handling about one hundred bushels without strain. Also included is a Freesia plant guide noting Christmas bloom, bulb care, and potting steps for winter satisfaction.
Historical farming notes describe cattle distress from overeating and heat, with aconite tincture and nitrate of potash as remedies, plus laxatives for grain surfeit and water therapy for local care. The piece also discusses exercise, drainage, and how barb wire fences reduce need for thorny hedges, favoring buckhorn as a sturdy barrier.
A Country Gentleman note describes creating a durable hedge fence using barberry or privet with multiple galvanized wire lines to form a secure barrier. The method uses young Norway spruces as a visual example and advises controlled pruning for a natural uneven surface.
High priced cows kept for milk testing are induced to eat and drink all they will of sound wholesome food and clean water. Silage and roots supplement the diet to keep the animal healthy. Sliced carrots are a favorite for mildh cows. In addition to roots, they receive clover hay and grain in generous quantities.
A late New York daily show discusses a milking invention and concludes no device yet matches the human hand. It notes butter packaging trends, butter prices from Ohio census data, revived oats and peas, and cautions about seed reliability. It also warns that poor farming tools impose daily costs and stresses dry clean poultry housing and year round celery growth.
