Farmer's Review
Questions of oat seeding in corn fields raise practical concerns
The text debates oat seeding methods in corn fields, noting poor conditioning for grass seed, visible stalks, and driving difficulties. It presents varying opinions on shallow sowing, thawing into fall plowed soil, drilling, rolling after harrowing, and asks how to choose the most practical, successful approach.
Salt Makes Soluble in Agriculture
Salt promotes decomposition of vegetable matter when applied in small amounts, releasing carbonic acid gas that aids solvation. In large amounts it prevents decomposition. It also liberates phosphate from insoluble forms, helping a mineral fertilizer release its contents.
Farm Notes on Crops and Farming Philosophy
Sorghums resist drought better than corn and early planted corn yields well. A settled farming policy and regular planning boost profits, while wood ashes serve as a strong grass fertilizer. Drill planting increases corn per acre though cultivation rises. beware relying on manure piles and commercial fertilizer without understanding land benefits.
Everyday hints and kitchen tips from a rural newspaper
Practical notes urge better crop attention over neighboring farming, and offer folk remedies like borax gargle for singers. It covers onion odor, waterproofing cloth, genuine codfish, making stock for fish, glass cutting underwater, and baking times for potatoes with procedural tips.
