A curious and alarming 19th century guide describes a crude hang apparatus for hogs and a grainy method for manure handling. It details a wooden frame and pulley system to string up hogs, plus notes on crank, wheel, and spindle mechanics, followed by practical farming notes on manure usage and green manure benefits.
In Allen county five large 1,009 retort minelters use sulphur fumes for pest control and to sterilize plant life, potatoes, and stored foods. A farmer reports testing a sealed cold storage room with heavy sulphur fumigation. sprouts of potato seed were destroyed in some varieties while others showed no sprouting after daylight exposure. The account also covers beekeeping profits from an English industrial farm colony, fall plowing as a method to prevent white grub, seed shortages and price concerns in the United States, and the potential of allage as horse feed when gradually introduced.
A Rural New Yorker style note reports experiments using sulphur on fresh cut potato weed to combat scab. The process markedly reduces scab, acts as a stimulant, and greatly extends storage life with the treated crop keeping well for weeks. A correspondent cites New York State station findings supporting these results.
A Jersey bulletin notes cows often go dry briefly around calving but quickly resume milk production. Most cows have not been dry since first calving, with and without early dry spells before calving, suggesting dry periods are largely habit-driven and not linked to health or productivity.
The article analyzes alfalfa yield metrics including a stated average annual beet product per acre, predicted weights, and input amounts. It references specific yield data and production assumptions to compare cutting strategies and potential profits.

The New South Wales agriculture department backs pasteurization to boost farmer profits and export prices. A Maypole Dairy manager notes planned Austra rian butter sales and argues pasteurization ensures regular quality. Denmark’s dairy scene shows 65 percent pasteurization, while prizes at agricultural shows aim to popularize the method.
The article discusses shifting cattle ranges and nomadic herding as railroads expand into the adlayiad valley. It notes pasture loss, drought impacts, and cattlemen fencing lands to stockpile hay, with many Rangemen shifting to feeding beef for market amid land sales to settlers and railway interests. It also mentions hybrids of stallion and Jennet, and bone powdered feed trials improving calf weight gains.
An article discusses choosing farm horses suited to work, stressing durability, stride, and stamina. It highlights the need for versatile horses weighing around 1,100 pounds, with good feet and lung power. Morgan and other breeds are praised for farm use, while caution is urged on poor footed stock and overpriced, unsuitable horses.
An appellate court in western India recently ruled on a horse trading dispute involving two brewers who sold a stallion as standard bred and registered. The purchasers, relying on the pedigree provided, bought the horse for public service and later sued for damages after discovering misrepresentation. The vender argued the buyers knew the stallion’s true status and that the deal was purely a horse trade, denying liability. Judges noted the buyers acted on breeding assurances and registration claims, leading to substantial financial losses.
A fragmented article fragment discusses cattle and sheep trade organization plans, grazing control, and stock management. It notes government land policy, pride in breeding, and the need for humane cow care. It cites figures from Dairy Point and mentions exchange among farmers and breeders.
