A rural voice argues against excessive reseeding and plowing in pastures. The essay cautions that overwork harms permanent grasses and soil, favors thick undergrowth, and misleads opinions about bluegrass pasture value. It criticizes the notion that pastures need constant mowing and redeployment to stay productive.
The article urges farmers to fatten livestock in late spring or early summer when pasture and weather improve health and growth. It recommends daily feeding, larger rations for those in milk or underperforming stock, and specific daily portions of Indian corn and meal. It notes old cows fatten slowly and suggests double feeding for bulls and cows during the warm season.
The article argues that the nation’s poverty is tied to land management. It calls for radical, practical measures to restore meadow productivity, urging fertilizer use and proper manure handling. It stresses deep rooting and sun protection to preserve grass, noting 28 to 63 million acres of cultivated and grazing lands and the role of agricultural reform.
Dr Norman Macleod urges a shift in dying thoughts from fear and loss to faith in Christ. Death is a transition to life with Jesus, offering comfort to the bereaved and a promise of reunion, with Biblical assurances from Martha Mary and the Lord.
The speaker argues that Christian faith rests on reason and Bible evidence not feelings. He recalls personal history showing God’s love from conversion, homelessness to salvation, and cites Romans 8 32 to prove God’s commitment.
The Spirit of God comforts not by immediate relief but by removing ignorance, giving knowledge, correcting misapprehensions, and convincing of sin, righteousness, and judgment. All service to Christ, even the lowest, dignifies the believer when done to honor the Lord.
In 1873 B A went to Nebraska near Lincoln on a Burling ton and Missouri River railroad grant. He bought 160 acres at five dollars an acre on ten years credit, broke forty, planted sod corn, and gained a ten percent price reduction plus a bonus. He will gain further abatements totaling about thirty-two acres gratis and no principal due for four years. The system includes half-price freight and stock transport, promoting rapid settlement with the railroad prodding development. Prof J D Butiex notes the rush for homesteads and pre emptions in Nebraska as the railroad expands.
A physiologist questions the pause in heart action, arguing the heart moves continuously with transient intensities. It glides sounds and movements as a whole while parts rest, producing brief interruptions rather than true cessation.
