Coal ashes as fertilizer and soil conditioner
One ton of bituminous coal ashes contains 8 pounds of potash 9 pounds of phosphoric acid 58 pounds of lime and much waste matter. Ashes resemble clay in composition and have little fertilizer value. Benefits come mainly from mechanical soil effects and moisture retention not from nutrient content.
Storing Potatoes and Winter Shrinkage
Potatoes shrink more than any other crop during storage with rot waste removed. A 100 bushel bin loses about one tenth in quantity and weight, while a sixty pound October harvest drops in cellar storage. Weight loss is reduced when potatoes are kept in earth covered pits due to less evaporation.

Grazing the rye causes it to stoal, and the young rye provides late green food, but the rye field may be used for cows in the fall, they should not be turned on too early in the spring. It does not do so much harm for cows to change from grass to rye, as it does from dry food in the spring to young rye.

Benefits of Keeping a Small Flock of Sheep on Farms
The text argues that every farmer should have a few sheep to utilize wasted material, as they eat many plants cattle reject and graze close to the ground. Sheep help remove young weeds and pests, provide tender forage, and a small flock can supply the family with high quality meat.
Keeping Animals in Condition
If animals are allowed to rain down in flesh it will be a loss to the farmer as he must restore them to their original condition before profit. The delay wastes many days as animals remain below normal condition, a loss of time that cannot be regained.
Feeding Cabbage to Poultry
