The Farmer's Manure Chart And Tariff Critique
A long discussion advocates thorough manure knowledge as key to profitable farming, arguing tariffs favor capitalists over labor. It warns laborers gain little from wealth yet warns that political favoritism harms the farmer. It promotes corn fodder and careful feeding to replace hay, with detailed advice on varieties, planting density, and feed preparation. The piece blends economic critique with practical farming guidance and references expert observers.
Does Farming Pay What the Farmers Demand
A long critique argues farming pays only under adverse conditions and would worsen under doubled taxation and inflated salaries for lawmakers. It cites rising farm depopulation, urban migration, and the contrast with lawyers and monopolists benefiting from current laws. The author urges elected officials to suspend pay raises and address agricultural hardship.

The Rosary of My Years, Father Ryan
Some reckon their age by years Some measure their life by art But some tell their days by the flow of their tears And their life is the means of their heart The dials of earth may show The length not the depth of years Few or many may come few or many may go But our time is best measured by tears.
