Sunrise Baby Laughs Through Morning Light
A vivid, affectionate scene unfolds as a baby learns to eat with a spoon, wobbling with earnest effort and a shy smile. The narrator recalls a sunlit morning and a playful elder, capturing a quiet moment of growth and warmth on a long path.
Weather prophets and the danger of hoaxes
The piece critiques weather peddlers like Vennor and Wiggin, noting their sensationalism fueled by publicity. It argues against credulity in forecasts, urges presenting long term meteorological data accessibly, and warns against panic buying into unreliable predictions. It also advises caution in farm labor hiring, stressing value of reliable, well paid help over cheap labor and the perils of hiring strangers.

One Acre More of Corn Leads to Wealth of Farms
Wartime economy prompts Horace Greeley’s call to plant one more acre of corn. If every farm added one acre and produced forty bushels per acre, U.S. output would reach about 160 million bushels, underscoring farm wealth as the nation’s stabilizing base. The piece also notes 1888 prospects and a silk trade anecdote, then shifts to Dr. Monresina Carigua, the hermit of Rucker Valley, detailing his hidden tunnel, powder keg setup, and paranoia about enemies.
