A mosaic of witty snippets and oddities from a Beaver Herald column. The items riff on politics, travel, health, and society with playful jabs at bookworms, bankers, court etiquette, and fashion. Mentions of Be perm, sending readers through a rapid parade of names, places, and playful asides.
A Wisconsin Agriculture bulletin outlines a model cow stall emphasizing cleanliness, comfort, and efficiency. Features include adjustable crossbars, a forward drawing rope, hinged top doors, and gutter spacing to keep cows separated and stalls clean. Ten stalls cost about $1033.
Webster county reader Thomas Hoyle reports on Oak Park farmer James P. Condon building a hollow cement block hog house with water and frost proof facing. The 64 by 10 by 10 foot structure features a rubber roof, a cement feed run the length, windbreak fencing, and sand or straw bedding as needed for farrowed sows and litters.
Automobiles manufacturers seek to adapt cars to farmers needs as crops rise and farmers spend more. Light weight models around 1200 to 2000 pounds suit rough country roads and mud. Simpler design and easy repairs help a farmer quickly travel to city for parts or service during planting plowing or harvest times.
A Baltimore American winter column advises seeding worn out land to clover for a year or two while rest of the plot holds manure and chemical fertilizers. After recovery the half with clover is plowed and fertilized, yielding higher income than continuous cultivation.
A fragment outlines the worth of a sow that yields two litters yearly and nourishes them well, suggesting sows remain valuable as prices for pork rise, emphasizing reliable sows and steady fattening.
A Dakota Farmer editorial by A W Trow argues dry farming is viable with moisture conservation. It cites Oregon’s Umatilla County as a leading wheat producer, notes historical failures for humid-district farmers, and urges humid district growers to study dryland methods to stabilize yields in arid seasons.
A Field and Farm guide by William Wadley outlines how to grow flax on sandy loam soil with proper moisture, deep fall plowing, and fine spring harrowing. It covers seed sowing, irrigation needs, fiber quality, staking with a fence, harvesting in bundles, and fiber extraction by hand, noting modern machinery may replace the old method.
This farm column covers frost effects on crops, pasture and garden management, keeping chickens away from vegetables, potato scab prevention, and tips for beans rhubarb oats and beekeeping. It notes that a ton of wheat nitrogen values and grain yields depend on seed quality and soil, with advice on practical testing and planning.
The article argues that while it is commonly believed alfalfa cannot be grown on sod without plowing, and that new breaking struggles to match established sod yields after decay, there are exceptions. Thorough disking followed by sowing and harrowing can produce a stand on certain prairie or beach sods, especially when land is dry, soil favors alfalfa, and rapid establishment is needed with limited labor.
The mature beetles feed mainly on the underside of leaves and stems making arsenical poisons like poleons less effective. This forces reliance on alternative measures rather than standard potato beetle treatments.
That deep plowing accumulates and holds more moisture better than shallow plowing has been demonstrated by hundreds of dry farmers. The report highlights farmers observing improved soil conditions and potential yield benefits from deeper tillage practices.
Odd collage of product names and slogans including soothing syrup for teething and medicinal claims. References to Dr. Peren and Mr. Schmidt beside farm imagery and janitor dialogue. Distorted lines suggest a late 19th or early 20th century catalog style.
