In Freeland Pennsylvania a court charge says the owner bears the onus for public safety when an unhitched horse is startled by an automobile. The jurors are instructed that neglect to properly secure the animal constitutes a breach of law.
The piece notes a soon to be realized continental canal worthy of Martian civil engineer study, cites government revenue from documentary stamps, warns of morphine use spreading among French women, praises stone arch construction by railroads, and reflects on the heavy burdens and limited pleasures of business leaders who toil at desks yet are envied by many.
A dead man was found and a magistrate acting as coroner investigated. He charged the deceased with concealed weapon, fined $5.80, kept the revolver for trial expenses, and turned the body to county authorities for burial at county expense.
The text asserts that true industrial progress comes not from lavish equipment but from ingenuity using basic implements. It gives vivid images of a boy making tools, a cotton gin in a cellar in the South, and a Cunard ship model carved with a jackknife, illustrating inventive success arising from simple means.
A vivid memoir of Aunt Chilly, housekeeper in a Southern grand woman's home, who rules the kitchen with a stern glare and dramatic tales. The narrator recalls attempts to elicit her secret recipes, her playful scolding, and the lasting awe she inspired, ending with reflections on her faded melancholy and enduring wisdom.
An aging Chicago Record-Herald item reflects on civilization’s flaws with quips about people who think they know us better, a philosopher’s excess, propriety, humor, and nature’s moods, ending with a wry line about optimism and pessimism in daily life.
Ik Shrawdness says the speaker is a sound preacher while noting mixed impressions. The record herald quotes a spectator saying the orator isn’t impressive yet captivates the audience, making the rafters ring. The Chicago Record Herald captures the lively reaction.
The article notes a newly found rich sulphur deposit in Transcaspia Russia with geology similar to Sicilian deposits. It also discusses aviation developments for war, Alaska agricultural prospects, kite science over oceans, and the theory linking Gilgamesh era encounters to gorillas vs Polyphemus myth.
A proposal to lower summer heat at the St Louis Fair Grounds by drawing cool air from 800 to 1000 feet up and flooding the area with air 10 to 15 degrees cooler than surface. An aerial tower and large fans would pump 500,000 cubic feet per minute, cooling the grounds for hours daily. Also a veteran New York sportsman recalls paying about $2,000 for a Mongolian pheasant released on his land and later shot.
Hog cholera blamed for hog deaths, but dirty slop and hotel refuse feed also cause losses. Soapy water and impure feeding practices are cited as contributors alongside disease.
Farmers overlook cow breeds and individual merits. No two cows are alike and some yield much more profit than others. Keeping inferior cows taxs a farmer with incompetence, as best care cannot overcome lower milk and butter output.
W C Crook notes a trial where subsoiled bottom land outperforms unsubsoiled land under dry weather. Both plots received identical treatment, but subsoiled soil yielded 50 bushels per acre versus 40 bushels on unsubsoiled land, suggesting a clear economic gain for minimal effort.
A farmer boasting well kept stock and ample comforts shows hens that lay 40 to 50 dozen eggs weekly in summer but stop laying as prices rise. The wife blames the contrariness of the hens while birds roost in trees for fresh air. The piece questions whether a warm house would keep them laying into fall.
The Utah experiment station tested four grade Jersey calves to determine costs of raising from birth. Calves started at 58 to 76 pounds with daily gains from 1.12 to 1.89 pounds. Total cost $65.32. profits per calf ranged from $6.82 to $12.78. Meat quality praised as excellent for the local market. The study aimed to show how grade Jersey steers could benefit dairy herds using a Jersey bull. Source: Tennessee Farmer.
After preparing all colonies for winter the final step is moving them to a cellar chosen for suitable cool dry conditions. Select a late evening day if possible and ensure a complete plan to avoid hitches. Set up a dedicated bees cellar with a partition if needed and provide a frame foundation for hive bases on level ground.
A 19th century guide describes brick or stone cellar hive storage with stacked frames to shed dirt and maintain 45 degree temperatures, plus steady arousal. It then outlines orchard starting, soil preparation, cultivation, mulching, and clover seeding for a flourishing, winter-protected fruit operation with late winter manure use and hog-friendly pasture.
The column advises calf fattening strategies for beef and thrifty milker calves, movable hog pens as a good investment, seed corn storage away from cold, packing winter apples in dry sand, and dairy cows needing warmth beyond a haystack. It notes sheep manure value, box stalls for sick animals, egg-laying declines after two winters, and winter manure hauling varies among farmers. It also highlights bearing orchards for future money and the need for orchard care, plus a horses colic remedy and the importance of a barn basement well for moderating water temperature and preventing cattle and sheep drinking ice water.
