Epical Easter account set in Jerusalem telling of the Passion and crucifixion. The narrative highlights crowds, soldiers, the Via Dolorosa, and the burial preparations by Joseph of Arimathea and Nicodemus as the women lament and the temple curtain torn in grief.
Fragmentary religious verse describes Galilean women visiting Jesus tomb. They mourn with tears and perfume, recalling the dead Lord of Life. The scene blends grief with reverence as they tend to his body.
The column lists bid and ask ranges for cattle and hog prices with entries for fat steers cows and bulls, stockers and feeders, and lambs. Notable figures show fat steers 11.75 to 12.50, hogs 16.25 to 17.15, lambs 16.00 to 17.50, and yearlings around 18.75 to 15.00 with scattered illegible notes.
A dense listing shows buying and selling prices per ton or unit for upland hay, Timothy, alfalfa, straw, oats, corn, gluten feed, bran, and farm grains. It includes poultry items like turkeys, ducks, geese, and eggs, plus dairy butter grades and fruit and vegetable prices, and various hides and wool values. The page compiles regional market rates, with net F.A.B. Denver prices and local commodity figures.
The United States Department of Agriculture reports a large rise in hogs moved to farms for breeding and feeding rather than slaughter. October 1917 shipments to farms were four times those of October 1916, with September and October combined three times higher than 1916, signaling wartime meat production aims and breeding stock conservation.
Sheep can be wintered with less grain if quality roughage is used. Coarse stems like timothy red top and blue grass have few leaves and are poor for sheep. Timothy irritates skin and wool, so supplementary linseed meal is advised, from one-quarter to one-half pound daily per sheep depending on size and feed.
A newly purchased sow should receive protected well-bedded quarters away from the herd at first. Feed and water her regularly, monitor night return to quarters, and gradually reintegrate after she settles. Extra care now may save the litter.
The piece argues that Easter signals the triumph of personality and the sacred human soul over sin, not merely a miracle of resurrection. It asserts living by virtue for its own sake, not out of fear of death or hope of reward, drawing on Paul and Whitman to challenge reliance on eternal life as motive.
The sheep have the most delicate sense of smell among domestic animals and will only eat from clean racks and troughs. They reject foul food and water unless hunger forces them to eat or drink unclean provisions.
The horse is a key limit in present food production requiring more work in less time with shorter notice. Proper management is crucial to maximize efficiency and performance in demanding agricultural tasks.
Sheep may be a profitable source of income with less care than cattle. Small flocks yield higher profits on high dry land, and well bred sheep cost about the same to keep as poor stock that earns nothing.
