A mixed reprint fragment notes rains reviving fields, then moves to butter churns converted from dash to crank types using simple blacksmith-made components. It also covers stock solution mixing for plants, watering guidance, and Virginia bacon tips from R W Jones noting pig selection, salting, smoking, and storage practices.
The article describes a barn extension method with a continuous roof to gain ground floor space and upper storage through the old barn scaffolds. It also covers economy with fallen apples for hogs, recommending a diet of ripe fruit plus grain and milk. It ends with a cabbage worm insecticide recipe using resin lye fish oil and water.
The article describes careful cucumber selection and frequent picking to maximize yields, warns of stray cucumbers reducing crops, and notes rootlets reinforcing vines. It also recounts Daniel Freeman as the first homesteader under the 1878 law in Nebraska near Beatrice, and mentions land uptake totals. Additional tips cover August as a prime time to set out strawberries with soil tilth and moisture considerations. Also noted are a Winnipeg exhibition prize for W S Lister and ancient mummy seeds yielding pink and white sweet peas from a tomb, with small blossom size.
The 1896 campaign maps show Republican states shaded with 271 electoral votes for McKinley and 176 for Bryan. McKinley led the popular vote as well, with about 7.10 million to Bryan’s 6.50 million, amid party tensions and cross over support from former Republicans and some Gold Democrats.
A historical analysis details 1898 state races with Republicans carrying most districts and Democrats gaining only Kentucky and Minnesota on governorships. It contrasts total state votes Republican 5,400,065 versus Democratic 5,427,224 and notes electoral votes 272 for Republicans and 175 for Democrats. It contemplates Bryan needing forty-nine more votes and outlines potential sources.
Chicago postal authorities test horseless carriages for mail collection with electric motors and storage batteries. The wagons are like light steel four wheelers with low rear bodies for bundles, carrying capacity similar to current express wagons, and can be operated by a single mail collector. Trials show potential on city streets and country roads, though outcome depends on district conditions.
The piece argues against cheerful idiocy and urges practical handling of worries. It distinguishes between what one can influence and what one cannot, urging action on solvable issues and closing incidents on the rest, to avoid the fool killer fate.
The article explains that Alaskan men avoid mustaches due to severe winter conditions. Beards cover the face and throat while the upper lip remains bare to prevent ice buildup from breath. A mustache would freeze into icy confection, risking rapid freezing of the face.
A gray ducklike bird in a Natural History Museum case appears nearly invisible when shown against a similar background. An exhibit by an American naturalist explains how dark backs and light bellies camouflage birds, with the ghost-like bird painted to demonstrate the effect.
A New York Bronx monument honors Heine through a Lorelei fountain, commemorating the German poet exiled for his liberal verses. The piece marks a romantic protest against German royalty and reflects lingering bitterness toward the man it memorializes.
The work admired by Germans faced bans in Franks and Hamburg before moving to New York, where initial objections centered on the artist's nationality. After a lengthy battle the memorial now stands in the northern city, depicting a sculpted mermaid and mermen alongside Rhine legends.
About 5,000 Boers gathered at Aandekraal South Africa for a declaration of independence. General Jon addressed the crowd urging unwavering defense and remembrance of the solemn oath taken by the attendees.
A historical monument project designed by Prof Herter celebrates nationalist iconography. A female Lorelei figure towers above a mound where Boers pledged blood for their country, around a heart of stones that formed Fydekraal’s historic monument.
