Lantern reveals a large farm’s flaws in a wandering tale
The narrator, lantern in hand, examines a five hundred acre farm showing a grand facade with poor cultivation. He notes scattered stock, minimal organized storage, and a mismanaged setup that hides inefficiency behind riches and dividends. The piece questions whether a genuine farmer can be found amid the chaos.

Turnips for Stock Feeding in America and England
A 1853 letter from Krien NY argues root crops like turnips and beets fail as reliable year round stock food in America. The writer reports mixed results from trials with carrots and ruta-baga, noting English practice relies on turnips as a preparatory crop. He cites farmers who condemn roots for freezing or scouring cattle, contrasting Scotland and Ireland with U.S. conditions.
