Dairying Profits, Seeds, and Pests Across the Farm
The article argues many dairy ventures operate at a loss when family consumption is included and urges careful accounting. It covers fertilizer value, crop rotation, seed corn quality, and soil tillage, plus notes on dairy and cheese quality differences, rabbit control in Australia, and temperance criticism affecting farmers.
Preventable Loss From Exposed Manure Estimated High
Experiments show that weather exposed manure loses value over three months, dropping to 2.17 per ton in crops and 2.90 when added to land. At 100 tons mature, the loss could reach 850, or the value of an acre of land, prompting alarm from Professor Topkins of the Illinois Agricultural College about U S farmers losing nearly 700 million dollars yearly to this issue.

Why Some Farms Lose Fertility Over Years
The article explains why fertility declines on some farms while others stay rich. It shows how $1,000 of wheat removes $240 worth of fertility, beef $85, pork $60, horses $55, tlk and butter values also deplete fertility. It argues grain farming tends to exhaust soil, urging farmers to consider long term stewardship.
Chronic lag in farm work tied to weather and habits
The article notes that persistent delays in farm tasks arise from bad weather and overloads, creating a chronic condition. It contrasts farmers who consistently stay ahead with those who routinely fall behind, linking timely work to higher crop values and larger bank balances.
Agricultural Notes and Forestry Warnings from Rural Journal
The column covers pest control for roses and currants, sugar beet byproduct use, auto road improvements, Pinchot on spruce depletion timelines, manure spreading practices, cow feed economics, record lumber production and markets, Kentucky tobacco grower pressure, and Night Riders in the tobacco economy. The piece emphasizes conservation, farm practices, and industry pressures.
Morgan horse breed origins and revival efforts
A long excerpt recounts Justin Morgan taking a two year old colt from West Springfield Massachusetts to Randolph Vermont in 1701. The first Morgan is described as small, beautiful, gentle, and capable of superior speed and strength. His sire line produced famous descendants. The piece notes breed decline after the Civil War and recent federal interest to preserve the strain by keeping a few representatives at government stations for breeding.
