Rural New Yorker extracts advise against soaking seed corn, warning of rot after wet springs. The author favors tar-coated seeds with plaster, ashes, or loam, and stresses proper soil contact, shallow planting, and stake support for young trees.
The article urges careful spring planting as demand for nursery stock remains high despite national troubles. It stresses not hurrying, inspecting roots, trimming long roots, preparing fine mellow soil, and ensuring earth contacts with roots to foster healthy growth and reduce future losses.
A Country Gentleman correspondent reports a method to clean seed wheat. Soak one bushel of seed in three tablespoons of blue vitriol for three hours, drain, dry with lime, and reserve the brine. For every bushel, add one spoonful of vitriol to the brine, wash and skim, skipping the three hour soak, to prevent smut.
An extracted Nome Journal fragment satirizes British reserve and social signals. It parodies perceptions of dullness vs wisdom, wit versus folly, and hints at broader public manners. The piece juggles anecdotes from a bribery witness and a young doctor’s early success, ending with a star actress billed in small type.
A witty dialogue unfolds as a lawyer pressurizes a female witness. The witness rails at lawyers while affirming her contempt for the room. Another remark mocks the idea that press, pulpit, and petticoats rule, ending with a playful proposal twist as Julia refuses John yet offers herself in a sly turn.
Eds Ronan New-Yourkst presents a frosting method for cakes. Use one egg white plus half an extra for common leaves, sugar and starch finely beaten with lemon juice, colorings optional, then coat the hot cake and chill to set.
