An Easter morning scene portrays the Passion and crucifixion of Jesus as crowds, soldiers, and angels witness the crucified Christ outside Jerusalem. The poem ends with the burial of the King and the sorrow of the women as Joseph, Nicodemus, and others prepare the tomb.
The fragment describes Galilean women visiting the tomb and mourning for the Lord of Life, tenderly preparing perfumes, tears wetting the mix. They return homeward with sorrow, as the light and glory of the Lord are referenced in the poetry.
Late market quotes show cattle and hog prices with ranges for fat steers cows and bulls. Feeder buyers and stocker classes list varying values, while sheep and lamb markets indicate price bands for light and heavy lambs plus yearlings and calves.
Price table lists buying prices per ton for upland hay and alfalfa, and per 100 lbs or cwt for grains, oats, corn, and gluten feed. It includes live poultry items such as turkeys, ducks, geese, and eggs, plus butter and fruit, vegetables, dry hides, wool, and pelts with regional references to Colorado and Nebraska markets.
The United States Department of Agriculture reports a large rise in hogs returned to farms and ranches for breeding and feeding. In October 1917 the movement was four times higher than 1916, with September and October combined triple the previous year, signaling the campaign's impact on saving breeding stock and boosting next year’s pig crop.
Wintering sheep requires less grain than other livestock when using coarse hay. Timothy and other coarse stemmed hays have few leaves and irritate wool, reducing value and making shearing hard. Supplementary protein feed is needed, about one quarter to one half pound of linseed meal per head daily, depending on size and other feed.
A newly purchased sow should be housed in good, protected, well bedded quarters away from the herd. Feed her separately for a few days and observe that she returns to sleeping quarters at night and receives regular feed and water. Extra care can help save the litter.
The Indianapolis News argues Easter is about the triumph of personality and the sacredness of the human soul. It contends living virtuously for its own sake, not for fear of eternal punishment, reflects Christ’s humanity and calls society to pursue inner moral life.

The sheep have a delicate sense of smell and will shun dirty racks and troughs. They will not eat foul food or drink dirty water unless driven by hunger, so cleanliness is essential in feeding areas and water supplies.
The horse remains a limiting factor in current food production efforts. He is tasked with more work in less time and with shorter notice, making his management a critical subject for efficiency and success.
Farmers are advised that sheep can be a lucrative source of profit with less labor than cattle. Small flocks perform best, and dry high land suits sheep well. Maintaining well-bred sheep costs about the same as keeping poor stock but yields greater returns.
