Agricultural note from Orange Judd Farmer recommends catch crops to fill late summer forage gaps. Suggests Indian corn, triticale or millet, white sorghum, rape for hogs and sheep, and sweet corn varieties for fodder. Details seeding rates 1 to 2 bushels, timing after small grain harvest, cutting and curing methods, and cautions about seed formation in seedheads.
Andrew Wilson, M D, cites cases from McNish and Abercrombie illustrating purposeful actions by sleeping minds. A Scottish lawyer wrote at a desk while asleep, later recalling a dream and finding the written opinion intact, raising questions about automatism and hidden memory during sleep.
Prof T J J Lee in The Atlantic notes that in about 12 900 years the precession of the equinoxes will alter the sky so that familiar constellations are unrecognizable yet identifiable by changes. He cites Humboldt on the Southern Cross shifting from Baltic shores to future Hudson Bay shores and Ca mopus fading from Central America. Ancient stars like Alpha and Beta Centauri will vanish from view for Hadrian’s Cairo dwellers and Ptolemy would fail to recognize them. A separate anecdote recalls a women’s club building a banquet hall where female visionary leadership clashed with male carpentry, ending with a repaired ceiling bearing a visible patch and a quip about “a mum” not being allowed to fix it. A humorous Household Words tale imagines a judge confronted by burglars, where a watch becomes a running joke about appeals and overruling. The snippet ends with a Norway scene of a drowning cock carried by a boat.
A science column surveys a fanciful calculation by a statistician about moving the Earth a foot using 10,000 horsepower engines. It quantifies fuel and coal needs, then notes the vast energy contained in Earth's rotation and solar orbit, before explaining how sound travels and why thunder is heard differently in various locales and conditions.
