ומן הצוננת על החמה. אע״פ שהוא מעשר מן הרע על היפה סבר לה כר׳ אלעאי דאמר (קדושין מו.) התורם מן הרע על היפה תרומתו תרומה, ובדמאי התירו אפילו לכתחילה:
ואפילו מדפוסים הרבה. ולא חיישינן שמא אתמול קנה הנחתום תבואה ממי שהוא מעשר והיום ממי שאינו מעשר ונמצא מפריש מן הפטור על החיוב, דנחתום מחד גברא זבין אע״פ שהוא עושה מדפוסים הרבה:
רבי יהודה אוסר. כששניהם של אמש או שניהם של היום מודה רבי יהודה לרבי מאיר דאפילו מדפוסים הרבה שרי, דלא חייש לדפוסים. אבל אחד של אמש ואחד של היום אפילו מדפוס אחד אסר, שאני אומר וכו׳:
ר׳ שמעון אוסר בתרומת מעשר. דאפילו שניהם של היום או של אמש כיון דבשני דפוסים הוא אמרינן מתרי גברי זבן את התבואה ושמא האחד עישר והאחד לא ונמצא מפריש מן הפטור על החיוב:
ומתיר בחלה. דבחלה כולי עלמא מודו אפילו של אמש בשל היום ואפילו משני דפוסים, דאי נמי מתרי גברי זבן לא חיישינן שהרי אצל הנחתום מתחייבה בחלה שהוא גלגל את העיסה. והלכה כרבי שמעון:
Mishnah 2
Mishnayos Demai Perek 5 Mishnah 4
דמאי פרק ה׳ משנה ד׳
Bartenura
פלטר – he that purchases many loaves at one time from the bakery shop and afterwards sells them one-by-one in the marketplace.
מעשר מכל דפוס ודפוס דברי רבי מאיר – for Rabbi Meir holds that a bakery shop that purchases from two or three bakers, and we say that this mold he brought from this baker and that mold [he purchased] from another baker. But Rabbi Yehuda holds that he bought [only] from one baker and even though they (i.e., the loaves) are from different molds, all of them are from one baker. Therefore, if all of them were from yesterday or all of them from today, he separates tithes from one to cover all of them according to the law of the baker.
מנפול (a trading mart enjoying a monopoly)– he purchases from many bakery shops and sells to others, and since he is accustomed to purchase from many people, a person who purchases from him tithes for each and every one. And the Halakha is according to Rabbi Yehuda.
פלטר. הוא הלוקח מן הנחתומים ככרות הרבה בבת אחת ומוכרן אחר כך בשוק אחד אחד:
מעשר מכל דפוס ודפוס דברי רבי מאיר. דסבירא ליה לרבי מאיר פלטר מתרי תלתא נחתומי זבן, ואנו אומרים דפוס זה קנה מנחתום אחד והשני מנחתום אחר. ורבי יהודה סבר פלטר מחד נחתום זבן ואע״פ שהם משני דפוסים כולן מנחתום אחד הן, הלכך אם כולן משל אמש או משל היום מעשר מאחד על הכל כדין נחתום:
מנפול. קונה מן פלטרין הרבה ומוכר לאחרים, וכיון שהוא רגיל לקנות מאנשים הרבה הלוקח ממנו מעשר על כל אחד ואחד. והלכה כרבי יהודה:
Mishnah Yomi FAQ

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.

ומן הצוננים על החמה – even though he is tithing from the bad for the beautiful, he holds like Rabbi Illai who stated (Tractate Kiddushin 46b): A person who separates the priestly gift from the bad for the beautiful, his heave-offering is a [legitimate] heave-offering, and regarding doubtfully tithed produce, they (i.e., the Rabbis) permitted this even ab initio.
ואפילו מדפוסים הרבה – and we don’t suspect that perhaps yesterday the baker purchased the grain from someone who separates tithes and today [he purchased the grain] from someone who does not separate tithes, and if is found that he sets aside [for tithes] from that which is exempt for that which has an obligation, for the baker buys from one person, even though he makes it from many [different] molds.
רבי יהודה אוסר – when both of them were from yesterday evening or both of them are from today, Rabbi Yehuda agrees with Rabbi Meir , that even if they come from different molds, they are permitted, because he doesn’t worry about molds. But one from yesterday and another from today, even from one mold, he forbids as I state, etc.: (“Yesterday’s grain may have from one man and today’s grain from another” – i.e., yesterday’s wheat may have been tithed while that of today was not tithed, or vice versa).
ר' שמעון אמסור בתרומת מעשר - for even if both of them were from today or both of them were from yesterday, since they are from two molds, we state that he purchase the grain from two people and perhaps one of them tithed and the other did not [tithe] and it is found that he is separating from that which is exempt for that which is one with an obligation.
ומתיר בחלה – for regarding the dough offering, everyone agrees that even that of yesterday with that of today, and even from two molds, that alternatively he bought from two people, we don’t worry for with the baker he is obligated to separate Hallah in that he formed the dough by rolling.
