A detailed guide on expert plowing covering depth uniformity, soil condition, timing, and tool selection.

A study notes gofio as the Guanche origin staple in the Canaries, linking superior nourishment to flour roasted from wheat barley or maize. It details preparation from roasting to grinding in windmills, with use of milk or soup to form a consumable meal. Maize and barley gofio spread, with mixtures to suit taste and region.
A correspondent from Farm and Home describes preserving eggs by lime water. Dissolve one pound of lime in eight quarts of water, settle, drain, and add a pint of settlings into a four gallon jar. Place clean eggs daily into the lime water in a cool dark place. Eggs may keep a year or more with no turning, though boiling risks cracking unless a pinhole is made in the large end.
Eliza R. Parker explains essential bread making principles. Focus on quality flour and yeast, proper sponge, kneading time, correct oven heat, and testing doneness for light, airy loaves with a crisp brown crust.
A Cor. Ous Country Home letter urges farmers to take pride in road quality. It argues for draining swamps, removing obstructions, trimming fences, and electing a road-master who will keep roads in good order, with community cooperation to avoid shirking road work.
A compilation of home farm and garden advice from various sources. It covers pruning to shape plants, watering practices, manure use, economic value of gardens, cleaning tips for nickel on stoves with soda and ammonia, removing tea and coffee stains, comparisons of high farming to superior animal care, proper tool storage, selecting vegetables suited to soil and climate, butter quality from fancy farms, a simple ice cream recipe, the abundance of yield from a small patch with good manure, and a cheap torch method to deter insects fitted to trees and shrubs.
Farm Field and Stockmen advise agriculturists to keep a mix of animals instead of specializing in one class. Start with improved stock, buy foundation animals with good pedigree, and aim to breed quality locally. Diversified herds reduce market risk and improve soil fertility while teaching careful management.
