Farmhouse dreams and a wandering heart in verse
A nostalgic farmer Sow the Lurmer yearns for rural peace. A bright boy at the door dreams of flying away to see the world. An urban traveler, having seen the globe, longs to return to the old meadow and farmhouse door for happiness.

Excess Corn and Land Use Debate on Westward Expansion
A historical policy critique argues that rapid settlement of western lands driven by railroad land grants created surplus corn and underused transport capacity. It notes high freight rates, limited trunk rail expansion, and calls for broader discussion among farmers about production, prices, and tariffs. The piece adds satirical anecdotes about a streetcar conductor, a physiognomy quote, and a Chicago divorce lawyer printing his card on marriage licenses.
