A 19th century note describes a barn frame design using bolted spruce bracing to avoid mortises, enabling full length movement of bay forks and slings. The plan details end view framing, cross sills, and sectional intermediate bents, noting stronger, stiffer construction and applicability to dairy sheds with ground floor stables.
An excerpt discusses barn layout with drives above stables and optional framing for rafters, then shifts to hog production with thrifty, not fattening feeding. It praises a gradual cornmeal diet, fruit or vegetables to ease digestion, and notes that corn-fed pork is hard to digest for some. Mentions Russian horses and a plan to abolish the seed division of agriculture on Oct. 1 and use electricity to kill weeds along rails.
Practical guide from Country Gentleman on horse harness fit and care. Emphasizes well fitting collars, inspection of each collar face, and prevention of galls. Warns against using pounded grease, recommends saltwater soaks before plowing, and notes Russian horses as notable for riding and driving with distinct gear and leatherwork. Also discusses lambing, hog feeding of flock carcasses, and health considerations.
Fragmentary OCR text mentions individuals and a warning about a market drug issue. Names appear as Fisher and Courtney with vague references to medicine and a father claiming market impact. Context and details are too garbled to determine a clear event or outcome.
The piece describes a round wooden rim device with a gauze wire cover and a central cap used to serve milk or cream without lifting the cover. It notes that such covers can be made locally, useful for small dairies or charities, with a separator for larger scale needs. It also includes home dairy instructions and commentary on milk processing and cheese making.
The article describes the Wouterfal gow plant from the Atmaxon river area, noting its rarity and presence in Jackson Park and Washington park greenhouse. It also details a four winged tropical African frog, its anatomy, flight, and ranges, citing Bischoff’s 1894 description and flight capabilities. An English army anecdote from Maidstone recounts a foggy night miscommunication among sentries.
A user named Cafferniass recounts extracting over 1.00 pounds of honey from an old hive during a season. The American Bee Journal notes his method, describing frame lengths, comb width, and edge design. He details pallet supports, mounting, and adjustments for fitting frames and protecting wax.
The article describes using a device with a clamp to secure extracted comb pieces near the upper end, lifting a pallet by a cleat, and placing it in an extender. It notes that thin boards can substitute for pallets, lighter is better, and clamps can be reused after the bees bind the combs. It also mentions beekeepers may use cords or wires as clamps, and that clamps should fit over the frame from top to bottom.
Professor Bailey of Carmell advocates winter greenhouse farming to supply fresh vegetables. He cites beans, melons, and asparagus as crops with strong winter markets. Trials show Masterpiece and Emerald Gem melons under heated glass can fetch premium prices. Cornell and New Jersey studies emphasize green manuring with crimson clover and cowpeas, yielding substantial organic matter and nutrients per acre.
The excerpt discusses organic nitrogen and phosphorus amounts per acre for roots and vines, comparing feed values and yields. It notes a higher protein content in vines, price context for acids, and claims about superior flowering and drought resilience of a crop over timothy, including worm resistance and potential yield gains under certain conditions.
A correspondent explains a method to sort potatoes using a 13 by 4 foot inclined box with back piece four feet high and successive slopes of two and one feet. Nail pickets for screens, assemble on the first incline, then rise to the second, producing three grades. Shovel from the incline to the lower area. If needed, adapt a wagon by using front wheels and extending a reach with a goose neck to move and sort the potatoes.
A field wagon is described with a 15 foot crosspiece and a strong pole, two iron wheels and an iron axle from an old reaper. The front rests on the bolster with corn fodder behind. The Farm Journal notes fodder often yields greater value than grain in many fields.
The New England Homestead favors subsoiling over irrigation to retain natural rainfall. It outlines five farming difficulties and argues subseiling stores water at depth, doubles yields, and requires no change in farming methods or expensive equipment, with costs halved when repeated.
Mary Ann Dyke born in London in 1794 rose to fame as a beauty and dancer with sisters in Dublin theater.
