A compilation of lyrical fragments and poems reflecting themes of humanity, gratitude, and holiday sentiment. It includes pieces about lepers and bells, Christmas peace, giving, mortality, and the heart’s enduring year end reflections, with imagery of warmth, memory, and universal love.
A Machina Maine widow faced pneumonia as doctors warned she would not survive. Mrs H Lincoln recalls her night of terror seeking Dr New Discovery, which she credited with sparing her life after a few doses. The cure claimed to treat chest and lung diseases, priced at one dollar with trial bottles free at Remington's drug store.
An enterprising farm butcher outlines a clever hog hanging method first described and illustrated in Ohio Farmer. The practical setup, praised as handy for this season, reflects rural innovations shared by Mr. J. Be Wing.
A 19th century diagrammed device enables a boy to hang and butcher a 400 pound hog with a simple frame of 2 by 4 timber and removable legs. The design uses a large wheel, a 4 inch spindle, a crank, and a gambrel to lift and hold the hog, with calculations claiming about 18 pounds lifted per pound of crank force. Also notes debate on Russian apples’ hardiness and a pest named bindweed spreading in the east and California.
A Nebraska correspondent reports The Country Gentleman on alfalfa worms harming fields across the state. The fall armyworm comparison, life cycle, and feeding damage are described, with university guidance urging deep plowing and weed control to protect alfalfa and wheat. Spraying beet and corn fodder methods are noted, plus remarks on unusually tall corn and tree planting along highways.
An article extols circular sheep pens used by Rocky Ford region feeders, showing a central feeding area with twelve outer pens and six hydrants. It notes efficient labor, daily weighed corn rations, and dual-sided gates to minimize handling time while detailing a diagram of the pen layout. It also reports a silo carbon monoxide tragedy and cautions safer silo entry.
A brief description explains making a fodder cart from an axle length gas pipe and two 1 by 3 boards ten feet long. The cart is built like a wheelbarrow with uprights slanting over the wheels, allowing loading of five shocks at once. It proves handy in winter for moving fodder or straw when ground is frozen.
