Enquiries compare English beef favorably for flavor, discuss making hardwood lumber from wheat straw, and cite Northern Illinois dairymen milking 90 to 135 cows with annual butter sales around 40 cents per pound.

Milking Frequency Boosts Yield by Frequent Milking
A cow milked three times daily produces more milk and cream than a twelve hour interval. When the udder fills, milk secretion slows as absorption occurs, so milking at eight hour intervals preserves more milk. Milking at five in the morning, afternoon, and nine at night can raise output by ten to twenty percent compared with twice daily milking. American Agriculturist.
A Belvidere farmer reports crop gains and farming notes
A Belvidere man raised 733.50 worth of clover seed from 30 acres this year. The report cites two thirds of America’s land cultivated by owners, and notes Montana wheat prices, New honey gathering methods in Germany, and a proposed Prisoners of War Pension Bill aiding afflicted rebels’ survivors with direct pensions and attorney fees from first payment.
