Hogs and Negro Labor in Southern Hog Rearing
A New England agricultural journal answers readers on profitable hog farming in the South. It argues climate and wild feed aid fattening, but warns theft by Africans and whites complicates post fattening keeping. It notes improved hog breeds are introduced to curb losses and cites tobacco as an insect destroyer and fertilizer. A separate item recounts a boy paid 10 cents daily, with weekly wages and a penny per day deducted for late payment, teaching bookkeeping and securing the boy’s stay on the farm.

Subsoil Pan Formation and Living Fences in Farming
An article discusses hardpan soils forming a stonelike subsoil layer eight inches to a foot deep, blocking water and roots. It explains breaking the pan as essential, notes willow trees planted in spring can grow into living fences, and argues keeping boys on farms costs little and that delaying wages to age twenty one pushes many to worse fates in cities.
Depth to Plant and Deep Plowing Debate
The piece explains seed depth by size, argues deep plowing and subsoiling boost yields, and urges farm reform. It cites crop yields like potatoes per acre and corn per acre, contrasts historic stock data with May 1895 figures, and calls for reduced cultivated area to save capital and taxes.
Healthful summer diet for farm workers notes peas and grains
The American Cultivator emphasizes diet in hot weather. Proper meals reduce summer illnesses and boost energy. It recommends more peas beans and whole grains over meat, fresh garden vegetables and fruits, and careful digestion to avoid stomach overload.
Dry floors and dust baths boost poultry health and eggs
A columnist urges dry, well ventilated buildings with loam or dirt floors, warns against dampness and lice, favors sawdust litter and dust baths, and cautions against egg foods and stimulants. He details practical housing, feeding, and dust-bath setups to improve productivity.
