The article discusses soil preparation as the key to beet yields, noting figures showing beets grown under proper non condition soil and referencing Cornell University Experiment Station Bulletin No. 16 as the sole available book on the topic.
The article explains how beets and potatoes need deep mellow soil to grow properly, with roots expanding away from hard pans. It discusses top dressing effects, subsoil loosening, and the propulsion of roots toward food. It also covers plowing as a tool to subdue land, furrow irrigation, and efficient water distribution among rows and furrows for crops like corn and trees.
Discussion covers contour-following furrows to avoid uphill water flow on irregular terrain, plus a compartment or check system used in Arizona to irrigate by standing water in leveed squares. Also mentions late sowing crop by J Ul rich and notes on Ohio nurseries and a dubious process description for a dairy butter based product.
A Rural New Yorker excerpt by L A Clinton explains how pulverizing subsoil creates new surfaces for roots to feed on, increases moisture-holding capacity, and allows roots to contact soil particles closely, making plants more comfortable.
Describes furrow irrigation with parallel furrows fed from a ditch and canvas or earth dams to hold water. Notes water entering each furrow and measures to slow flow on steep slopes to prevent erosion. Warns against direct water contact with fruit trees to avoid scorching and soil baking around trunks.
A period-era discussion by Professor Moor Smith of the University of Wisconsin contrasts old and new cattle ideas, favoring Shorthorn and Hereford crosses for beef quality. It outlines breeding choices, dam care, milk supply, and rationing from calving through finishing to maximize growth, milk yield, and carcass shape.
The Western Horseman emphasizes four daily feeds during the breeding season to keep a stallion fit for service. Start at 5 AM for a 7 AM jog or service, then regular meals with grain and hay. If exercising, allow soft feed once daily, twice if not prone to scour, and in Western Kansas barley or crushed barley with oats is recommended.
The text discusses feeding practices for horses and cattle, the dangers of mosquitoes causing cattle deaths, hog cholera concentrated in corn states, and feeding alternatives like alfalfa pastures, wheat and sorghum blends, and gluten meal or oil meal to improve beef finishing. It also notes observations from Oklahoma and Missouri on disease and feeding strategies.
Butter makers face a fair prospect as stocks move into cold storage earlier and in larger quantities amid a westward speculative push. Prices range 191 to 20 cents with conservatives warning of limited profit. Grass for pigs is urged to enlarge digestion and protein intake before fattening with corn.
A historical study outlines dairy cow anatomy and the digestive system, udder development and milk yield, and the role of the heart lungs and brain in sustaining production. It emphasizes large elastic udders, balanced teats, ample water access, and clean water to prevent milk spoilage and disease.
A Missouri correspondent asks if allowing calves to nurse with cows until weaning harms milking quality. The Breeder's Gazette notes delaying milking extends lactation, but dairy practice varies. Nature provides milk for calf growth. artificial milking can prolong secretion and train cows to milk through successive calves.
Testimonies from front correspondents including Burleigh and Villers describe poor shooting under fire. An ironic piece quotes an artist lamenting low prices, then a businessman advising the artist to die temporarily for wealth. A domestic exchange notes a husband and wife debating how he eats salad at dinner.
A fragmented OCR style item notes the phrase Food for Readection and a quip about an ostrich with a river wit swallowing mirror fragments. It cites Detroit Journal and Atchison Globe in a garbled ad like line. The piece ends with a prompt to advertise in THE NEWS.
A Sunday school lesson discusses dependence on God, how believers are “little ones” in Christ, and the protection of angels. It cites scripture from Mark, Matthew, Luke, Acts, Romans, and John, emphasizing humility, salvation for all, and the duty to lead others to Christ.
