כל מין חטים אחד. ואע״ג דאיכא שחמתית ולבנה:
וכל מין תאנים אחד. ואע״ג דאיכא שחורות ולבנות. תאנים בעודן לחים קרויין תאנים, וכשיבשו קרויין גרוגרות, וכשנדרסין בעגול קרויין עגול דבלה:
תורם מן היפה. מן התאנים על הגרוגרות דתאנים יפים מן הגרוגרות:
תורם מן המתקיים. מן הגרוגרות על התאנים, דגרוגרות מתקיימי טפי:
לעולם הוא תורם מן היפה. דכתיב (במדבר י״ח:ל׳) בהרימכם את חלבו לעולם בעינן חלבו, ואי פסיד יפסד. ואין הלכה כרבי יהודה:

תורמין בצל קטן שלם – because it endures.
ולא חצי בצל גדול – even though it is nicer than it.
רבי יהודה אומר לא כי – Rabbi Yehuda, according to his reasoning, who stated that he separates heave-offering from the choicest [produce].
מבני המדינה – it is good for eating from those of the villages, the onions of the villages, but that of the villages is preserved better.
מפני שהא מאכל פולטיקין – onions of the people of the city people which is the food for important people, and they are better/choicest produce than those of the villagers. פולטיקין/city people, the members of the residence of kings.
תורמים בצל קטן שלם. לפי שהוא מתקיים:
ולא חצי בצל גדול. אף על פי שהוא יפה ממנו:
רבי יהודה אומר לא כי. ר׳ יהודה לטעמיה דאמר לעולם הוא תורם מן היפה:
מבני המדינה. טובים לאכילה מן הכופרים הבצלים של בני הכפרים, אבל של בני הכפרים מתקיימים יותר:
מפני שהוא מאכל פולטיקין. בצלים של בני המדינה הוא מאכל לאנשים חשובים, והם יפים יותר מאותן של בני הכפרים. פולטיקין, בני פלטרין של מלכים:
Mishnah Yomi FAQ

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.

כל מין חטים אחד – and even though there is reddish, dark-colored wheat and white-colored [wheat].
וכל מין תאנים אחד – and even though there are black [figs] and white [figs], figs while they are yet moist are called תאנים/figs, and when they have dried, they are called גרוגרות/dried figs, and when they are trodden in circular cake, they are called עגול דבלה/cake of pressed figs.
תורם מן היפה – from the figs on the dried figs, for figs are choicest than dried figs (see also Tractate Bikkurim, Chapter 3, Mishnah 3).
תורם מן המתקיים – from the dried figs on the figs, for dried figs endure more.
לעולם הוא תורם מן היפה – as it is written (Numbers 18:30): “When you have removed the best part from it [you Levites may consider it the same as the yield of threshing floor or vat],” we always require the best/choicest part, and if he (i.e., the Kohen) loses, he loses. But the Halakha is not according to Rabbi Yehuda.
