It discusses vegetables, water for poultry, salt in roasting, hay storage, fowls as profitable stock, and cattle fattening, interwoven with brief notices about probate, wires, and local affairs. The result is a mosaic itemized note with numerous nonsequiturs and misread fragments.
An advertisement promotes The Farmer's Poultry Raising Guide by Johnson & Co of Boston Mass. It claims the book teaches year round laying, rapid fattening, dressing shipping eggs selling methods and disease prevention with illustrations. Offers a 60 cent kit including the guide and Sheridan's Powder or a pound tin loan option.
An aggressive recruitment ad seeks earnest and intelligent men and women to write for further information about a memoir book by Generals Robi and Lee, promising high earnings with no risk or investment, details sent free on request from Historical Publishing Co. Violet Cameron returns to England amid fashion commentary and a note on a Belgian political appointment. A joke about Tack's vice presidency and a humorous exchange about a grandmother's gray hair conclude the piece.
