Lords of Chelmsford Wealth Gaps Across the Peerage
The New York Sun paints Lord Chelmsford as among the poorest peers with private income under 10,000 dollars a year. It notes a financier brother, a judge son earning 25,000, and a Lord Chancellor’s secretary as other siblings. It cites a 86-year life ending wealth of 250,000 pounds and laments diminishing fortunes among peers, with scarce wealthy heirs beyond 40 in the army.

Bran and Meal Feed for Cattle and Manure
The article explains how bran and corn meal affect cream thickness and butter yield in cows. Bran promotes muscle in young animals and rich manure for nitrogen, while meal fats cows and aids digestion with roots to improve absorption. It advises saving bran for growing stock, meal for fattening cattle, and cows, with roots as essential for digestion.

The juice, making up 28 to 80 percent of the fruit, reportedly acts as a powerful solvent on nitrogenous substances, surpassing pepsin. In tests the juice digests lean beef rapidly without added acid when diluted and heated.
