Growing corn after corn and other farm matters fill this column. Experiments with incubation show hens are governed by egg warmth, not solely by the birds. If eggs are fertile, animal heat can rise, triggering hatching. if not, hens stay on the nest. Dairy reform argues farmers can improve yields by choosing better breeding, feeding, and management, predicting higher butter output as dairy demand grows.
The article argues against rotating corn yearly due to soil erosion and wasted stalks. It proposes two alternative practices: growing corn two to three years on the same land with rye and winter or spring manures, then using a two-year clover rest to renovate the soil. It emphasizes stock feeding and dual-use grain and fodder for profit.
The practice favors sowing wheat the same fall as corn and potatoes are harvested to keep the field covered. Wheat used in fall preserves fertility that would wash away in winter while clover sod plowed under adds fertility. If wheat follows heed crops, no plowing is needed and corn stubs can be turned.
The article discusses agricultural practices including handling potato tops by burning to prevent blight, proper timing for picking pears to avoid on-tree ripening and bruising, packing pears in clean crates with paper wrapping, and cautions against fall-bred pigs as breeders due to winter growth issues. It notes spring pigs mature later, suggesting sixteen to twenty months before breeding and potential two litters per year.
Currants and gooseberries propagate from cuttings and will grow well when even a small root piece is attached. With ample root, a few bunches of currants can be produced from plants set out in fall or early spring. If the plant is layered and new wood is to form, do not leave any fruit on it.
The article advises buying pure-bred stock in autumn when breeders reduce prices to clear inventory before winter. It praises the investment value of pure-bred animals and notes related farming tips on lime, manure, tools, cornseed meal, oats, grasses, wood, cellar ventilation, potato seed eyes, soil prep, chestnut trees, moon influence, and lime application ranging forty to sixty bushels per acre.

D L Goff uses a door-linked winding to keep a house clock wound. Fresno inventor T G Farrer proposes a gravity powered clock with no winding. J Smith of Leeds built an electric clock lasting fifty years. St Quentins church at Mayence reportedly saw a clock stop only once in 500 years.
The article presents a Sunday school lesson on justification by faith from Romans 6 1 11. It emphasizes faith as central to the gospel, the Holy Ghost guiding understanding, and peace with God as a present privilege leading to future joy. It includes practical hints and illustrations for teaching this profound doctrine.

It warns that future grain and cotton crops will depend on efficient farming and domestic demand.
