Advice on breaking new prairie land for farming in Manitoba

Manitoba settlers face vast arable lands with only a fraction broken. The article outlines practical methods for breaking sod and preparing seed beds, including timing in June, back-setting, disk harrows, and depth variations from 2 to 4 inches. It notes variability by soil, season, and grass mat, with emphasis on rotting sod and gradual cultivation for a wheat crop the next year.

Debate Over Sowing on Breaking Without Backing

Farmers argue whether sowing on breaking without backing is wise. Some insist back-setting is essential to start right, while others say sowing on breaking is acceptable. The correct method varies with soil and sod, as breaking a sod when turned often rots and dries poorly unless rolled daily to compact hollows and preserve moisture.

Origin of Mathematical Signs Through History

The article describes how symbols developed from word origins. It notes plus from letter P in plus, minus from minus with letters reduced, multiplication from plus, division from stacked dividend and divisor later simplified to dots, radical from radix, and equality from a 1807 watchmaker using the letter E.

American and English Robins Compared as Nests and Helpers

The American robin builds plaster and dry grass nests in tree crotches and hunts insects. The English robin, smaller, lays a moss nest on the ground with a bright yellow to scarlet breast and sweeter song but is less effective as an insect destroyer. The American robin is a major farmer ally, with a duller coat and broader song repertoire.
