It covers frost foundations, framing with 2 by 6 or 2 by 8, pine siding braced with 2 by 8 or 2 by 10, bevelled corners, double siding, and cautions against single boards which shrink and split.

A Tennessee experiment station reports that feeding trials show a gallon of milk costs 7.3 cents at high prices and 5.0 cents at low prices, with butter production around 13.9 and 0.9 cents respectively. Chopped pen hay may replace wheat bran, enabling dairy farms to meet protein needs locally and reduce expensive concentrates, potentially deciding dairy profitability in some regions.
