Corn culture contrast between Vermont and the West
A Vermont four acre corn field will rely on fertilizing hand hoeings and light cultivation with horses, while western practice demands multiple implements for full cultivation. The author argues western farmers need a light barrow, two horse shovel cultivator, surface cultivator, and a single horse eight toothed cultivator to keep fields clean and boost yields in dry seasons.

Cultivating Corn With Drag Cleared Or Not
Opinions differ on using a drag after corn appears four inches high. A light harrow with backward angled teeth works best on dry, clean fields, while a heavy drag with perpendicular teeth and rough ground should be avoided. Proper drag use depends on soil, crop stage, and field cleanliness to simplify later crop care.
Man Spends on Roads Grants Free Highway Land
A farmer with thousands of acres spent 1700 over four years on grading and fixing a rural road through his land. He widened forty feet, plowed to the edge, and kept the highway weed free. Trustees tried to block use of the waste strips but have since left him alone. The note ends with a rural quip about corn and its growers.
Trade and Good Roads Improve Town Trade
The piece argues highways into country towns shape commerce and future growth. It notes towns readily raise money for a noisy Fourth of July celebration yet neglect road improvements, which could benefit trade far more than flashy events. Trade follows the flag, and good roads extend that reach.
