A Country Gent letter argues against selling calves for veal or lambs for the butcher. Raising calves by hand from days old on skimmed milk and scraps yields healthier stock and greater long term value, including dairy products and later cattle sales. The author cites personal experience raising about twenty calves annually and recalls a $40 offer for an eighteen month old heifer raised this way.
A guide to training four steers at once through patient yard work, pairing, and gentle handling before moving to hitching and real work. Four days of yard training can surpass months of misc farm tasks, yielding more reliable cattle for various jobs and higher sale prices.
A practical guide explains hulled corn as a spring luxury for farm households. It describes making a ley from white ash or cob ash, soaking and rubbing kernels to remove hulls, and boiling until plump and soft. Leftovers can be reheated like potatoes, with pigs and hens fed hulls and chits.
A teaspoonful of galera tugs to a quart of corn is used with water just covering the kernels. The mixture should be heated after adding the corn to loosen the hull, and if not washed carefully it will acquire an unpleasant taste from the ley.
The Wisconsin Farmer essay argues for Jersey cattle emphasizing butter and cheese yield over bulk milk. It notes Jersey origin, traits, and a call for farmers like Mrs Robbins or other testers to report on profitability versus native cows, urging introduction if favorable.
A bold robbery occurred in the public square at Pargue two weeks ago. A locksmith was sent to open a money safe whose key was lost. A well-dressed man claimed to act for the proprietor and insisted access be gained. The thief, with another accomplice, took all the cash and left, then instructed the locksmith to replace the lock and key. Police arrived soon after to investigate.
The Tribune summarizes Dr. Humphry’s work on human skeletons noting limb proportion patterns. It states upper and lower limbs length relate to trunk proximity, compares humans to animals, and highlights racial growth differences including limbs, hands, and feet proportions. Giants and dwarfs are discussed in relation to overall growth.
A strong writer urges boys to avoid chewing and smoking tobacco, arguing it spoils thousands of boys, triggers precocity, weak bones, and damage to the spinal marrow brain and nervous system. He warns boys seeking success to shun tobacco as a harmful poison.
A poetic reflection contrasts the echo of a sea shell with a worm once inside it and asks whether human deeds endure, praising lasting fame and memory beyond mortal life.
A reflective meditation likens the sun to God guiding life and beauty, while human souls, though radiant, derive all glory from the sun. The imagery contrasts heavenly power with earthly striving, suggesting source and inspiration lie in celestial light.
A reflective line extolls the supremacy of the human soul over systems and cosmic creation, asserting greater mystery in the union of soul with the body than in shaping a universe.
A speaker compares hitting a child to striking water and asserts that God’s hidden reasons render earthly afflictions harmless to a child of God. The remark frames parenting discipline within a theological lens and warns against anger in punishment.
