Bartenura
מרחיקין את הסולם. מי שיש לו שובך של יונים בחצרו סמוך לכותל שבין שתי חצרות, ובא חבירו להעמיד סולם אצל הכותל, צריך להרחיק הסולם מן השובך ארבע אמות:
כדי שלא תקפוץ הנמיה. היא חיה קטנה. מן הסולם לשובך ותהרוג את היונים:
מזחילה. הוא צנור גדול המונח על אורך הכותל ומימי הגג זבים לתוכו. ואם כותלו מהלך על פני חצר חבירו ומזחילה עליו, צריך להרחיק ממנה אם בא לבנות כותל בצדה:
ארבע אמות כדי שיהא זוקף שם סולם. לעלות ולתקן מזחילתו לנקותה מעפר ומצרורות הנופלים בה ומעכבים את קלוח המים:
מרחיקים את השובך מן העיר. שהיונים מפסידים זרעוני הגגות:
אא״כ יש לו חמשים אמה. שלא יפסידו היונים בשדה חבירו:
בית ארבעת כורין. בית כור לכל רוח, והכור שלשים סאין. ואין הלכה כרבי יהודה:
מלא שגר היונים. מרוצת פריחתן בפעם אחת:
ואם לקחו. כמות שהוא עם הקרקע, אפילו אין לו כל סביביו אלא בית רובע הקב:
הרי הוא בחזקתו. שהרי הוחזק בו הראשון כך:

Mishnah Yomi FAQ
What is Mishnah Yomi?

What is the Mishnah?
The Mishnah is the first major written collection of Jewish oral traditions, forming the basis of the Talmud. It dates back to around 200 CE and consists of teachings and discussions of Jewish law by various rabbis.
Who started the Mishnah Yomi program?
In 1934, the Kozoglover Gaon, Rav Aryeh Tzvi Frommer, who took over from Rav Meir Shapiro (the founder of Daf Yomi) as the head of Yeshivas Chachmei Lublin, initiated the Mishnah Yomi cycle, focusing on Seder Zeraim and Seder Taharos. After World War II, in 1947, Rav Yonah Sztencl, a disciple of Rav Frommer, expanded the program, advocating for a comprehensive study of Shishah Sidrei Mishnah. The idea of studying two Mishnayos daily gained the support of figures like Rav Isser Zalman Meltzer, the Tchebiner Rov, and the Gerer Rebbe, marking the formal inception of Mishnah Yomi.

מרחיקין את הסולם – whomever has a dovecote of doves in his courtyard near to the wall that is between the two courtyards and his fellow comes to put up a ladder near the wall, he must distance the latter four cubits from the dovecote, in order that a marten will not jump, and it is small creature, into the dovecote and kill the doves.
מזחילה – it is a large spout that is placed on the length of the wall, and the waters of the roof flow into it, and if his wall would go along the face of the courtyard of his fellow and with the spout on top of it, he would have to distance it from it if he comes to build a wall on its side four cubits in order that a ladder can stand upright to go up and to repair his spout, to clean it from dust and from rocks that fall in it and prevent the continuous flow of water.
מרחיקים את השובך מן העיר – for the doves cause the loss of the seeds of the gardens.
אא"כ יש לו חמשים אמה – so that the doves do not cause the loss in the field of his fellow.
בית ארבעה כורין – an area requiring a Kor of seed in every direction, and the Kor is thirty Se’ah, but the Halakha is not according to Rabbi Yehuda.
מלא שגר היונים – race of their flying at one time [for food].
ואם לקחו – [if he bought it] (a field with a dovecote already in it) in its natural condition with the ground, even if he lacks all around him other than an area of a quarter-Kab (104 1/6 square cubits).
הרי הוא בחזקתו – since he was the first to have legal presumption of possession.
