Gallatin valley farm experiments torch drought and diet
The Gallatin valley experiment station conducts irrigation tests with R S Shaw as agriculturist, comparing water levels and the Italian weir to optimize crop yields. It runs extensive trials on pasturage, grasses, potatoes, wheat, oats, peas, and fruit with 64 potato plots, 46 wheat varieties, 64 grasses, 250 barley varieties, and 40 varieties of oats while evaluating beef, pork, and poultry feeds. Professor Traphagen analyzes food quality for jams, jellies, canned goods, and meats amid calls for pure food legislation. funding comes from a $15,000 federal grant.

Ivory chessmen recall a romantic tale of Napoleon
A set of carved ivory chessmen once belonging to Napoleon now owned by Guillaume Remblier of Hamilton Ohio recalls a tragic love story involving Eleonore de Laplaine and General Murat. The pieces, carved in Italy, passed from Murat to Leon de Laplaine to his grandmother Mme de Laplaine and finally to Remblier, who brought them to America where he runs a German newspaper in Hamilton. The saga spans Napoleon’s tours in Paris and Egypt and follows Leon de Laplaine’s life until his death in 1881.
