A list shows eighteen states having ratified the amendment prohibiting slavery, with dates from February and notes on states without loyal governments.

A London review reports on revisions proposed by church committees, led by bishops and lay members, to clarify doctrine and discipline.

He notes gradual weaning and eventual grazing readiness.
The note warns against injudicious pruning and advises hiring an experienced person for one season. It favors robust varieties like Genesid and Diana not being pruned too closely, while delicate flower varieties such as Delaware and Retecca may be pruned more severely.
