A practical guide for farmers on ice harvesting and storage detailing ice quality, cutting methods, and building a durable icehouse. It covers choosing pond versus river ice, avoiding slush, marking and sawing cakes to exact sizes, tools like an old tie and ice tongs, and constructing ventilated storage with drop siding. A Wisconsin farmer example shows profitable ice selling.
Experts once limited alfalfa to specific soils and climates but it has shown broad adaptability. It thrives with rainfall from fourteen to sixty-five inches, grows from sea level to high elevations, and yields ten to twelve tons with nine annual cuttings in southern California. The crop benefits worn land by restoring nitrogen and fertility while electric power firms extend farm lighting and power in eastern states.
A first person column from Colliers features a self described misanthropic shopper who audits a department store from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. noting dust, rude staff, mispriced items, and faulty displays while secretly gathering complaints to prepare a report for the firm’s head. The piece satirically contrasts the job’s scrutiny with its dull routine and risk.
An old southern negro in New York seeks help writing a letter to his sweetheart. Colonel Yerger agrees to assist, checks paper ink and pen, and records the lines as “Thompson street, New York May 14.” The exchange reveals his difficulties with spelling and composition, with humor about drafting and reading back the message.
A group at a country store recalls a terrifying thunderstorm year after marriage. One man remembers seeking shelter under a tree as lightning struck nearby. He survived but vowed never to chew tobacco again after a plug in his pocket led to fear and a drastic decision.
The note traces the word pluck from slang for courage to its use in modern English as equivalent to courage and plucky. It cites Sir Walter Scott's Journal from 1827 showing the term still kept its original sense and explains the historical notion that the heart and lungs together formed the pluck when a butcher exposes a carcass and separates the organs.
A New York paper notes at the Bronx Zoo that birds bend their necks due to many neck bones not length. Experts cite swans with twenty three neck bones flamingos with a few more, giraffes seven, a small sparrow fourteen, and snakes tighter head movements.
The plebeians, Rome's common people, faced bans on political rights and debt bondage. In 407 BCE they seceded to Mons Sacer, securing tribunes to curb patrician power. Over centuries their disabilities faded, leading to roles like dictator, censor, and praetor, shaping a democratic republic.
A New York Press blurb recounts a settlement worker and a philanthropic mother who visit a five flight tenement. The mother refuses a unit, saying the ragged broken banister reveals coffin risk and unhealthy conditions, illustrating how residents judge health by stairwell decay.
A collection of clipped quips and editorial snippets. It weighs on woman’s mystery and authority, the allure of the heroic in baseball, and domestic irony from several 19th century sources. Included are wry lines about marriage, independence, and reading.
