A judge in a separation case blames the strain on the mother-in-law, arguing torture of the soul exceeds physical pain. The piece discusses how two women living in one house create friction, the dynamics of mother-in-law relationships, and how such tensions harm marriages and perceptions of in-laws.
A strange creature described as tying knots in its tail by circling around corkscrews, now gradualizing its tail straightening since prohibition. It feeds on dirt pickles stored for winter and reportedly can hear guides singing it to sleep. It is said to resemble a quirky puppet with a fiubert head popcorn ears and peanut body, bound by chewing gum.
Betsy Callister shares simple syrup ideas for waffles and griddle cakes. Recipes include white sugar syrup, molasses style syrup, cane or corn syrups, and a caramel method. Use water and sugar, cook briefly, adjust thickness, or blend honey for flavor.
A fragment outlines steps for a recipe: add a quarter cup water stir constantly then return to heat for two to three minutes, stirring. Add another half cup boiling water and set aside to cool, with notes attributed to CWNU Service.
A note on an old belief that each illness has a corresponding plant sign. The text suggests the herb bears the sign revealing its use, blending pseudo science with theology in the doctrine of signatures.
A Victorian era guide describes potted meats using ham tongue chicken and left over fish. It covers potted chicken with ham or tongue, stock from bones, grinding to a smooth paste, and creaminess with broth butter and spices. The piece notes storage in jars with cloth seals and long keeping quality for hot weather.
In a children's tale the boy and the Jogalong approach a swampy pond and discover a chorus of spring peepers. A tiny frog on a floating twig swells a singing bubble in its throat to produce peep notes while Grandfather Bull Frog issues a deep croak. They watch as the frogs summon others from hiding and learn the remarkable frog song.
The term Acadia derives from the French form of the Indigenous Kad, meaning land or region. It traces linguistic roots from native usage to colonial naming of the region encompassing parts of present day Atlantic Canada and Maine.
J A Arey of North Carolina State College warns that hot weather reduces milk output unless cows receive ample shade and fresh water. As grass dries protein declines, requiring heavier grain feeding and silage. Fly control via sanitation and poisons is essential to maintain herd performance.
A discussion from extension notes on sweet clover as dairy cow feed. It covers planting in spring within oat or corn crops, first year and second year pasture usefulness, night pasture advantages, and the need to introduce cows to sweet clover before stems mature to avoid bitter coumarin. It also suggests oat straw stacks and dry hay to reduce bloating and improve palatability.
A year old well developed bull is ready for light service with guidance on breeding schedules. Three services twenty days apart in the first two months may be maximum for long service. At eighteen months ten services about fifteen days apart and at two years twenty services eight days apart pose no harm. The bull in full service requires about the same feed as a milking cow, with grain allowances of four to eight pounds daily.
Penn State dairy specialists urge after milking feeding to reduce barn dust and save time, advocate clean smooth milk houses, and stress selecting good breeding animals and production records. They warn low producers should be culled to avoid losses and note herd improvement yields about 2800 pounds more milk and 114 pounds more butterfat.
