A fragmented list of household cures and kitchen instructions discusses making breakfast foods with milk eggs and flour, cleaning jars with lye, removing tough stains, and preparing butter. It includes domestic remedies for butter quality, cleaning vessels, lemon flavors, a milk and grease butter substitute, and a note on baths for children with skeptical tone toward popular syrups.
Odd square of narration mixes clippings about a red flag at a smallpox house beating a bid. a mother and child examine a horse emblem on a tombstone. a sharp-tongued wife and a sour husband trade witticisms. A Boston-bred joke thread, a drunk college president encounter, and a cautionary tale about a man named Pat round out a mosaic of rural humor and city misfits.
