Turkeys, Telegraphs and Crop Rows in Odd 1882 Chronicle
A northern man paid a southern farmer a dollar for a war era stolen turkey. An New York electrician imagines using a water hose as a mowed electric defence on troops, while literary notices critique royal broadcasting and a column on wider row corn culture outlines two by four foot beds. The piece also includes home remedies for horse sores and lice, and notes Canada thistle as drought fodder for sheep in Australia.

A New Method of Growing Corn
Mr. J S Winter of Montgomery Alabama reports experiments on corn growing. He explains rows fourteen feet apart with one foot in the drill yielding 3 640 stalks per acre. A subsequent trial planted twenty acres in twelve foot rows with one foot in the drill doubled the best past yields, attributing gains to greater light and air exposure.
