Raising children and cattle care guidance in Nebraska era
A midwestern advice piece discusses prudent farming and rural life practices. It covers securing property against trespass, alfalfa yields in eastern states, fall rains harming grain, barn safety with children, selling cattle by self-market comparisons, yard aesthetics, copper sulphate myths, hog disease, breeding programs, valuing character over wealth, labor incentives, buckwheat weed control, and choosing a gentle pony for children to train. It emphasizes responsible parental guidance and humane animal handling.
Farm notes on corn yields and farm practices in October
Agricultural observations discuss corn yields averaging thirty bushels per acre and the appeal of scrub cattle and horses. The piece notes October is prime feeding for pests, the value of weed control for roads, and the shift from extensive to intensive farming, plus railroad and irrigation projections, fruit tree preservation, road maintenance, and a granger’s quack grass root study.
Agricultural crime and reform in farming practices
A county farm shows 1600 bushels of inferior grain from a 100 acre field due to yearly rental systems. The piece blames tenancy, soil depletion, and shiftless management, urging five year leases, clover cultivation, and fertilizers to restore fertility. Also notes alcohol from potatoes and Wiley's remarks, plus a winter reading plan for farm families and education.
