The writer agrees and shares methods: avoid early sprout removal, bed tubers 3 to 4 inches apart, vines left long then cut into three joint sections, plant two cuttings per hole with one leaf exposed, and favor cuttings for better yields and stand, especially in dry weather.

Raspberry Planting Guide From Historic Advice
The method calls for a furrow six to eight inches deep with plants placed in the bottom. Red varieties may be fully covered while blackcaps need only two to three inches of soil over roots, then mounded as they grow. Spacing suggested is six feet between red rows and seven feet between black rows, with eighteen inches to two feet between plants.
Level culture for potatoes improves harvests
The article argues that level culture yields larger crops but requires seed potatoes planted deeply enough for tubers to form underground. It notes tubers rise as they grow, forcing dirt to mound around hills and shed water, which can damage roots. Dry rich soil and absence of surface-standing water are essential. Wet winters prevent good crops next season.
Poultry Yard Poultry Points on Feeding and Breeding
Advice from Farm News and American Agriculturist on boosting laying hens through proper diet and management. Emphasizes wheat and green bone meal, milk, light morning grain and full evening feed, avoiding obesity, breeding from productive layers, planting sunflowers, and rotating coops to curb disease.
Salt for Poultry
Advice from American Farmer warns salt is fatal only if poultry gain unbalanced access. Salt is a necessary blood element when rationed. properly salted soft feed prevents excess intake and sustains health and productivity.
Salable Turkeys Favor Medium Weights For Profit
The Farmers' Voice notes medium sized turkeys 8 to 12 pounds sell best and fetch steady profits. Birds over 14 pounds drop in price, 18 to 20 pound turkeys are hardly salable. Large birds appeal to hotels but families avoid them due to small ovens and mismatched family sizes. Raisers should size flocks to optimize feed and returns. The era of enormous gobblers is past.
