Curculio and apple injury across Illinois orchards are linked to orchard mismanagement. Charles S. Rocklandell notes that surface damage on pears, plums, and apples arises from curculio and codling moth activity, with apples most affected by improper pruning, sanitation, and general care.
A historical horticulture note explains how fruit curculio multiplies when orchards are crowded with weeds and shade. It discusses three control methods: spraying arsenical poisons against adults, destroying fallen fruit including small apples in June and July, and cultivation to disrupt larvae in the soil. The piece notes proximity to neglected orchards and timber as factors in infestation.
The article discusses the apple curculio and its life stages, noting that most pests are in the ground during July and August. It recommends exposing soil to sunlight for thirty days from July onward to control larvae and pupae and mentions natural predators like ants, birds, and predaceous insects. It also touches on lima beans and dairy feeding economics, emphasizing profit from careful management.
Widsummer Hewetlin and Wikber J Fraser of the Illinois experiment station promote corn silage as a superior preservation method for cornstalks and grain. Silage yields softer, fully digestible feed, reduces waste, and supports heavier milk production while enabling higher stocking rates, though not suitable as the sole ration for cattle.
A described method for storing cowpeas green involves building a stack with a pole and crosspieces that extend to stack edges. Layers of green vines are added two to three feet thick between crosspieces, allowing air to circulate and enabling curing. The process uses more water and higher initial costs for materials.
In early spring a vegetable shortage drives brisk sales of hop sprouts at the Brussels Belomi market. Tender young sprouts come from hop plants buried in earth during winter and are harvested as needed to ensure enough supply for the season from March 15 to April 1.
A claim by President Shillavin of New Worse Horthentfurt Society describes a farmer who has grown twenty nine crops of potatoes in twenty nine consecutive years on the same ground. He asserts only stable manure has been used as fertilizer and promises affidavits to support the claim. The harvest is described as a marvel with the field literally covered in early potatoes.
Preliminary returns from the department show acres planted shifting in several crops. Cotton area totals about 28,120,000 acres nationwide with an 11 percent drop from last year, while corn and cob meal is recommended by the Iowa Agricultural College to replace cornmeal in cattle feeding when feasible, with no observed harm when properly ground.
A dairy bulletin explains mottling in butter stems from buttermilk and casein balance. Preventing mottling requires removing buttermilk, washing butter at 35 to 45 degrees, and standard salting and working. Also notes on silo foundations to keep air drafts.
The text explains tight walls and concrete foundations to prevent air intrusion in silos built on porous soils. It notes doors fitting properly, no rover needed, and how rock or brick foundations with a concrete diver above ground aid drainage, with emphasis on sealing the silage surface when feeding pauses.
A Wisconsin station study shows that dairy cow diet affects milk quality and fat content. Higher nitrogenous feed increases milk value, but in northern states typical rations should not exceed about 2 pounds of digestible protein daily and a nutritionally balanced ration around 14 to 17 pounds, for cows of average capacity.
Produce groups advocate steps to increase milk production in their communities. They emphasize education for hairiners and farmers on feeding and sanitation, arguing cheaper feed and better palatability boost dairy yields. The plan calls for summer pasture use and adequate water shortages to sustain dairy operations.
An eclectic fragment traces the word get from reputably used terms to vulgar slang by Victoria's era, citing diarists and writers like Evelyn and Thackeray. It then shifts to a Victorian domestic scene where a child’s confession about affection toward a same sex partner prompts a startled parental reaction in a library as a husband plays chess with the father.
The article argues that unprofitable cows justify culling after a second iteration period. It emphasizes choosing good breeding bulls to transmit milking qualities, warns against pure bred scrubs, and stresses vital constitution to resist diseases in dairy herds. It also notes that a bull’s value depends on offspring quality and heredity.
Twenty five years ago critics urged condemnation of dull butter and foul store conditions. Readers learned odors from cows, vegetables, and manure contaminated shelves. The campaign against uncleanliness gained support in local wards and a primetime debate at a city meeting.
A fragment discusses Acton of abfaife dias and bran Woods trials to feed ten fans or more with alfalfa and other items. Mentions better feed strategies and possible savings.
A rural dairy note extols corn silage as superior feeding to hay and grain, citing lower costs and better calf health. A Connecticut farmer recalls building silos costing about 125 dollars, cutting butter-feed costs by 35 to 45 percent, while Maryland tests show silage improving gains over rye. The piece stresses glossy coats and strong calves from well nourished stock, and notes practical conditions for storing and feeding corn silage.
A historic bulletin from the Whiesott experimental station outlines dipping lambs after shearing and before winter quarters to kill ticks and other parasites. It notes daily blood loss from ticks, recommends two dips twelve days apart, and suggests kerosene spray as an insecticide. Emphasizes proper feeding of lambs to avoid stunting and lost growth, stressing early care for maximum gains.
The Dorset breed of sheep is said to have been brought into Virginia in 1818, but records are lost. Joseph TE Wing notes this in Breeder's Gazette, highlighting uncertainty about early Dorset presence in the state.
In West Virginia and Tennessee mountains horned sheep preserve Dorset traits. The Edgewood flock at Maxwellton, Wyoming? shows Old Thunderbolt weighing about 200 pounds when fleshed. Horns turn backward and rams and ewes are horned.
Historic notes describe a westward craze for solid red Shorthorns with farmers and breeders now showing a preference for roan and white bulls. The text notes red cattle remain valued by range buyers, while middle-state breeders increasingly favor lighter, paler hues and darker capes, with roan cattle common in good feeders and color trends evolving across prominent herds.
Fragmentary OCR text references unknown names and places with garbled phrases about threats roads and markets. It hints at a storied scene with possible mentions of May, Balato, and Balato ommaty but lacks clear events or identifiable entities. The readable content is insufficient for a concrete news item.
The text mentions Joseph Jedlesson, Maeneus, and Mrs Parsvenne in a stained society scene with debate on stagecraft and advertising. It hints at stage managers, actors, and awareness of decorum, noting mixed perception of behavior and evolving tastes.
The article discusses pig breeds suitable for various regions, emphasizing Poland China, Chester White, and large English Berkshires. It compares eastern markets and dairy byproducts, and advises on seasonal feeding, wintering, and pasture fattening. It urges adapting feed based on market costs and farm resources to maximize profits.
TOM Wilkinson of Chicago argues that horse breeding thrives when breeders select a single high class stallion and then pair mares to produce top colts. He says farmers should not abandon specialized breeds and should invest in proven bloodlines to maximize future value, noting the labor and costs involved.
Nebraska experiment station reports grain inclusion with forage cuts feed costs and economic gains. Findings show grain rations plus hay reduce feed costs per unit of gain across cattle and lamb production, with alfalfa turnips corn and oil meal yielding high gains on modest nutrient intake. Field results and market notes from Texas and Cambridge illustrate impacts of seed meals, hog feeding mixes, and dairy slicing techniques.
Stephern Ot Patterson, 72, disappeared from his Dorsey Ore Bank home near Tyrone last Tuesday. He was found dead in a field about a mile away, kneeling in an attitude of prayer. Authorities believe he suffered a paralysis and collapsed. Patterson was a Civil War veteran.
