A collage of rural guidance covers cleaning methods for utensils and horses, dairy fat standards, feeding mixes, worm control, road work, and milk fat requirements. It discusses calf scours cures with soot and formalin, garden pest sprays, and a Grand Canyon observation on geological time. It also highlights hummingbird distribution in the United States and their insect-based diet.
The article discusses beef or dairy cattle as preferable to dual purpose breeds, a method for treating ivy poisoning with ash paste, school pupil issues, cream separators cleanliness, urban youth emigration, apparel costs, and dangers of fire to trees. It also covers agricultural pests, tobacco fumes in greenhouses, hydrocyanic acid gas cautions, tobacco infusion for aphids, and a court ruling about cheap cream separators. It closes with notes on grapefruit naming and harvest timing.

It notes plans for a denatured alcohol school in Washington under Secretary James Wilson, plus related agricultural items including prunes and New York dairy inspection results.
