Turnips and Silage for Cows in Dakota Farmland
In Dakota Farmer MF Gepeley notes turnips on newly broken land yield up to 400 bushels per acre if favorable, needing little weed work compared to mangels. He plans to feed turnips and silage to cows in winter, ensuring succulent feed when pasture is short, and argues for turning land into a source of cheap fodder rather than relying on silage alone.

A Day’s Labor Worth More Now Than in 1855
The USDA in 1855 found producing a bushel of corn required four hours and 34 minutes of human labor. From 1909 to 1912 a Minnesota study by A P Cooper concluded it now takes 45 minutes to produce a bushel, about one sixth of the earlier time, meaning a day’s labor now yields far more value due to machinery, corn varieties, and soil management improvements.

New Idea Hints at Great Possibilities in Heat Storage
In Fostoria Ohio Alberta Barnes a machinist claims a caloric contrivance stores heat in artificial stone disks packed in straw inside his barn remodeled as a fireless cooker. He heats his house in winter and powers washing ironing and other tasks. He says charging the storage plant took ten days last summer and plans to charge more heat in the future. Hundreds visit his home to see the dish shaped roof hothouse and heating bays. He jokes there is no meter on the sun so he expects to pay nothing for heat the rest of his life.
