A Cayuga county farmer notes forage crops are costly due to labor and favors rape for pigs and sheep. He praises habeage for year round value and drought heat resilience. He describes silo use on Oakland farm, feeding from smaller silos and the practice of cutting new crop onto old hay, with tips on convenient silo placement.
The writer argues silos should hold stalks and grain not just grain. He favors extensive ensilage for winter and summer feed, asserts dried grain may prove more valuable, and urges further experiments by stations before full adoption. The plan aims to reduce green forage crops and increase yield per acre.
The text argues the best milking cows are those with steady, moderate yields across many months rather than high output in short bursts. It emphasizes total twelve month yield, quality of milk, and periodic testing to identify reliable breeders.

Guidance on udder care and medical procedures for swelling injuries including milking techniques, incision drainage, poultices, and cleanliness. Also covers ringworm treatment, horn growth issues, and cautions on using full doses of medicine. Includes steps for preventing tight closures and maintaining sanitary tools and teats.
A seventeenth-century home dairy guide outlines cheese making for two to three cows. It covers gear like a wooden or tin hoop, muslin, and a cheese boiler, plus steps from warming milk to pressing and curing. It notes rennet strength varies, scalding depth, and press methods, and even shares old press designs and tips on avoiding cheese flies.
The Dairy and Livestock Association urges dairy farmers to grow more sugar beets for stock feeding. Beets provide a usable nutrient supply, especially where byproducts are affordable. The advice notes some feeders object to root crops, but sugar beets offer low-cost feed for cattle when grown locally and fed with renderable protein sources.
A Harpers Bazaar critique notes how life’s great events like love and death are often overshadowed by petty ceremonial details. It laments the fuss over flowers gowns invitations and mourning crape buttons while eternity opens before the grieving. The piece labels such fixation as uncivilised and contrasts profound emotion with triviality.
A breezy collection of humorous scraps including an Irishman in a cavalry unit puzzled by sword technique and a prayer joke where a boy fears mixing God with his brother. The fragments show light, old newspaper humor with phonetic spellings and comic misunderstandings.
