Homemade Silos
"Since about the year 1880 silos have increased rapidly in number in the United States, until now they are extensively used, especially in those regions devoted to the dairy industry. So useful have silos become that many farmers consider them indispensable. The demand for literature on silos has likewise increased. This bulletin has been prepared for the purpose of partly meeting this demand by furnishing such information as will enable the farmer to construct his own silo at a reasonable cost." -- title page

A New System of Cotton Culture and Its Application
"The way to secure an early short-season crop of cotton is to thin the plants later and leave them closer together in the rows than is now customary. Neither of these policies is advisable if used alone, but they give a real advantage when properly combined. Keeping the plants closer together during the early stages of growth restricts the formation of vegetative branches and induces an earlier development of fruiting branches. The new system is based on the principle of controlling the formation of the branches." -- title page

Removal of Garlic Flavor From Milk and Cream
"It is a well-known fact that when cows eat wild onion or garlic within four hours before milking there is imparted to their milk a very disagreeable flavor and odor. This flavor is not only unpleasant but it lowers the commercial value of the milk. Any method, therefore, which will remove this flavor and odor should be of interest to dairymen." -- title page

Bird Houses and How to Build Them
"A few years ago only four species were commonly regarded as house birds -- the house wren, the bluebird, the tree swallow, and the martin. Since the movement to protect birds and make neighbors of them began, however, their natures and needs have become better understood, and it is now known that many other species will avail themselves of houses constructed for them by their human friends. The practice of erecting bird houses in this country, while now nation-wide, is not so common and uniformly distributed as it should be, and more extended provisions of this nature can not fail to result in a largely increased number of house birds." -- p. 2

Leaf-Spot, a Disease of the Sugar Beet
"Leaf-spot may be controlled on a commercial scale and in a practical and inexpensive manner by a carefully planned and thoroughly executed system of crop rotations or by deep fall plowing. The best results are obtained by containing these two methods. A proper and uniform supply of soil moisture, spraying, and the proper disposition of beet tops and stable manure are important aids in the control of leaf-spot. Leaf-spot seriously injures the feeding value of beet tops." -- p. 18
