Practical Farm Advice From An Aged Agricultural Column
A long fiction of farming tips covers manures and use of old rope, water access for livestock, remedies for fowl diseases, and feeding. It cites Dr McClure on horse feed preferring corn, buckwheat for hogs, turnips for cattle, and cautions against excessive poultry feeding. It also notes beekeeping moisture, beehive ventilation, and milking discipline at a West Cornwall farmers club. A cure for horse white hairs and a gloomy cow milk case are discussed with cautious remedies.
Poultry Houses and Poultry Keeping Challenges
The article argues farmers can gain better poultry accommodations by using existing buildings or by erecting simple structures, criticizing those who dismiss poultry due to perceived costs. It notes losses from poor housing, wet feet, and manure-affected drinking water, and compares yard poultry with purpose built houses in grass fields. It also touches on milk cleanliness and seasonal churn-related issues.
Special Farming Advantage in Mixed Operations
The article argues that mixed farming stabilizes income by producing a range of goods across seasons. A successful farmer sells grain, wool, and mutton in winter, fat cattle or cows in spring, calves in summer, and has a horse available anytime. It contrasts this with single-crop farmers like hop growers, cotton planters, and fruit growers who rely on one product and risk cash shortages.
Cucumbers for Pickles Guidelines From A Farmer's Note
Instructions for pickling cucumbers from two to four inches long. Use half a bushel of dairy salt per barrel, ensuring purity. Layer cucumbers with salt, avoid bottom salting, fill the barrel, set loose cover with weights, add water to submerge, and salt daily without leaving cucumbers unsalted overnight.
Mome Made Disinfectant Recommendation
A Hearth and nts clipping recommends a homemade disinfectant. Dissolve a bushel of salt in a barrel of water to create a paste and use chloride of lime as a substitute for shop bought products. Apply around sinks cellars and out houses to prevent sickness and expense.
Green Tomato Sweet Pickles From a Historic Recipe
A vintage pickle method describes soaking green tomatoes in lime and water, rinsing, then soaking, mixing a syrup of sugar vinegar and cloves, and pouring over seven pounds of fruit before boiling and sealing in jars.
