The paper invites farmers of Stephenson County to write articles on any farming topic. Submissions should be plain and single sided. Community farming voices are encouraged to share knowledge and perspectives.
Farmers should keep cattle, sheep, and other stock in barns during severe winter weather. Cattle lose heat when exposed, drink little water, and require more forage to recover. Provide water in yard access when possible, but avoid forcing animals to endure storms for long periods. Protect shelters and limit outdoor time to brief, mild days.
The article urges careful winter horse care in epidemic regions. It stresses thorough grooming, clean skin to aid toxin elimination, well ventilated stables, protection from storms, varied nutritious feed including carrots and oat meal on hay, and moderate exercise. It warns neglect leads to relapse or new sickness after the disease passes.
The Lewiston Journal notes ideas on seed potatoes from Maine. It argues late harvested tubers dug cool and kept dark while green tops remain vigorous yield higher vigor and less rot. The practice, traced to observations since 1815, suggests late retted potatoes make better seed than early plantings.
A compilation of light humorous vignettes and puns about travelers in Dublin rooms, Horace Greeley satire, Col Asper jokes, Billy Yume tales, temperance irony, and epizootic wordplay. The piece surveys humorists and clever phrases from various eras.
A phrenologist asked Charles Dickens for permission to examine his skull, Dickens replied he needs it now but would lend it later. A man named Jones declines a purchase until prices drop, while a true maid of honor remains loyal to her suitor. A playful remark notes the pre hysteric period before tight lacing.
An advisory piece praising the Burlington Route as the best passenger path to the west. It notes direct service from Burlington through Southern Town to Nebraska and Kansas with connections to California and the Territories. A pamphlet titled on to go West offers a detailed westward map and can be requested free from the General Passenger Agent, B. and M. R. R., Burlington, Iowa.
The Kansas Pacific Railway runs from Kansas City and Leavenworth through Kansas to Denver, a 639 mile line offering fertile land and healthy living.
