J L Irwin sketches a rack to feed shredded corn fodder, retaining stalks for cattle to strip leaves and tender portion, while uneaten material is cleaned out.

The article discusses how variation occurs in flowering time and fruit production within single species, noting differences among Koelemeria trees from the same seed lot.

The Ben Davis apple gained wide use with Southwest planters and pleased many with its ripening, storage, and market suitability. It remains an everyday bearer with moderate disease resistance, though its fame rests on the tree rather than a known origin. The article also notes winter insect destruction, a prize-winning England show heifer, and a strong potato crop outlook with high yields and steady pricing.
The article explains that feeding warm food benefits most meals, especially high water content items. Ground dry grain is more advantageous than cooked. Heat expands starch containing substances, prompting greater intake. In ruminants this leads to extended chewing and rest, aiding digestion. Overfeeding horses can cause colic.
The article urges timely wood cutting before sap rises to ensure dry fuel through the year. It cautions that cutting after sap rises leads to slow drying and faster stove wear as green or wet wood burns inefficiently, wasting caloric value and increasing costs.
The text traces the wild grape found by Norsemen on Vineland shores as the ancestor of all native outdoor grapes. It notes the Concord as a cultivated form of the wild grape and explains that Concord seedlings often become white grapes, giving rise to about a dozen variations in white red and dark.

A housekeeper explains a method to revive dull kitchen oilcloth using glue water. Melt glue, wash the cloth, then apply a weak glue solution with a flannel cloth as it dries. For frayed edges, paint edges with a stronger hot glue solution to preserve the look.

A 1835 New York fire killed 35 people and destroyed 7 500 000 dollars in property. Dr J C Culbertson of Cincinnati proposes moving schools to the countryside with municipal car rides and lunches. In Chesterfield Indiana seven Steinmen family members died after three nights of loud door raps.
The Springfield Republican flags the Bryan anomaly decrying his hold on the party while Democrats hesitate to oppose him. The Indianapolis Journal lauds Roosevelt on trust regulation and stock disclosure as essential to curbing monopoly power. A mix of economic policy critiques and political caution fills the page.
