The article describes Fidia viticida beetles infesting vines, with eggs under bark and larvae feeding on roots. Adults mostly disappear by August. timely control by arsenical spray at one pound per 150 gallons is advised, or collecting beetles if spraying is unsafe, with soil wetting as an effective remedy before larvae spread.
Dr Hexamer notes shallow asparagus crowns sprout early but exhaust themselves with spindly shoots. For green asparagus two to three inches deep suffices. for white or blanched varieties eight to ten inches. Proper mulching, cultivation, and spacing are advised. Also vine pest treatment uses a kesosene emulsion diluted ten times, poured around the base to wash soil deeper, then watered an hour later.

An article surveys milking technique and hygiene, noting cows’ milk output depends on skilled milking and clean hands.

The piece ends with a light social anecdote.

A detailed visit to a Monmouth dairy operates under a strict system. The owner family runs every department, collects weighed milk data, and enforces timely milking with a printed credit sheet guiding care for each cow. Jerseys are trained to their assigned places, showing the efficiency of the husbandry method.
An old dairy bulletin argues well cured clover hay and loose silage cuttings cut feeding costs. Experiments at Pennsylvania show cows water access in pens offers little advantage over stalls, with less bedding and labor needed in pens and similar milk quality. Silage should be cut for best hay state and run through a cutting box for best results.
A young man proposes a theory to determine the brains of a matrimonist family by the gender of the children. He claims all boys indicate the father as the forceful head while all girls indicate the mother as the head. The other man, meek and married with two daughters, halves the conversation.
The National Stockman notes a large year for range cattle as mild winter conditions and feeding push many to new ranges in equal or better condition. Southern cattle head north for pasture, with many destined for next fall slaughter. Prices may slip for ordinary grades while prime fat cattle hold or rise, dependent on feed lots, range numbers, and beef demand. A high weight Durham cow from Lancaster is highlighted as possibly the nation’s heaviest, and Shorthorn prices reflect strong demand for blooded stock.
A Breeder's Gazette excerpt debunks a sweeping Porto Rican cattle promotion praising the Shorthorn breed and crediting Porto Rico as its mother. It cites exaggerated claims about European import experiments, myths about care, and urged media to resist promotional hype shaping cattle breeding in the islands.
Practical corn growing methods for silage and grain. Prepare soil deeply, plow and disk until clods break, plant late April to May at about one bushel per six to seven acres, in drills or hills. For silage aim for full plant growth, sturdy stalks and heavy foliage, any well adapted local variety works. Cultivate thoroughly, weed early with a weeder. Also advises slow feeding for horses to prevent bolting by using wide mangers and large pebbles to slow intake.
Records describe early 19th century Hawaiian tax administration in the Sandwich Islands. Official collectors kept accounts on a 2400 foot two rope ledger divided by districts, using knots, loops, boots, and feathers as memoranda and bits of sandalwood to mark taxpayers' digs.
