In a tale set after the narrator loses her aunt Maud she moves to live with her brother Dick in a small South Carolina town. On Valentine's Eve a burglary attempt leads to a dramatic chase, a chimney rescue, and a surprising romance when a mysterious client turns up as the one she least expects, changing her future with Dick.
A fragmented expository piece explains that soil and earth hold and transmit electricity, likening it to living power beneath the surface. It describes currents in soil and water, visible and audible electric phenomena, and imagines future accumulation of charge leading to a world ending conflagration.
A New Yorker visiting a friend near Binghamton followed a bear into a ravine where, after Milne fired both barrels, the animal collapsed. The bear allegedly blew apart after striking thawed dynamite left by Italian railroad workers, causing a powerful explosion that hurled nearby laborers and damaged a farmhouse.
The piece discusses white currants preserved in honey from France and a profitable delicacy, along with notes on dairy production. It stresses the importance of pure milk, skilled butter makers, clean facilities, and a capable board of directors to drive prosperity in the dairy industry.
Leaves in dry low areas burn easily and waste fertilizing material worth more when left. Fruit-tree foliage holds potash, boosting orchard vigor and productivity. If trees show mildew blight or seah, burning affected leaves may be prudent, but healthy foliage should remain undisturbed.
A stockman favors popcorn over field corn for cattle feed, arguing closer planting, multiple ears per stalk, higher recovery of husk and blade, and low waste when fed to cattle. He cites Kansas cattlemen who report better feed value and notes hogs gain little from it due to husk husk waste and slow husking.
New Jersey Agricultural College reports a method to combat potato scab and soil rot. Trials show manure worsens rot, lime raises scab, kainit raises rot, while copper sulfate and corrosive sublimate reduce both. Best results come from mixing sulfur with earth and applying in planting hills or dusting seed potatoes.
The Massachusetts Ploughman explains preserving milk is difficult. Keep milk in water in a barrel sawed in two placed in the kitchen to prevent souring or freezing. For long-distance transport, use spring-wagons or springs under the wagon box and cover cans with blankets to avoid overheating or freezing. Proper creamery preparation hinges on good equipment and careful handling.
A poultry expert advises on broodery setup and fattening hens with seasonal feeding. Key points include a southeast door, double walls with ventilation, concrete floors, sand, and regular cleaning. Use cold water in summer, warm water or milk in winter, with a specific winter ration and avoidance of corn for laying fowls.
Preservation of leather requires oil in interstices to lubricate fibres and seal against air and water. Heed hens, identify the busiest layers in cold weather, and select several for spring breeding. Ensure horse stalls are at least six feet wide and keep sheep warm with proper ventilation to avoid frost and disease.
