The article compares cropping responses to heat, humidity, and moisture, noting sorghum’s superior drought tolerance and ability to recover after dry spells while maize stunts or dies. It discusses sowing times, frost risks, and sustaining fodder supply, plus a device for cleaning threshing equipment and fuel oil rig practices.

It supports rotation by feeding stock and returning plant nutrients as manure, helping wheat crops. Cowpeas supply nitrogen phosphorus and potash in forage and, when ploughed in, rebuild soil humus via legume matter.
Old time guidance covers cleaning and polishing with soap and vinegar baths and wax polish, plus tips for decorating rooms. It warns that dark patterns shrink rooms while white or striped patterns enlarge space and suggests washable papers for kitchens nurseries and baths. It also endorses simple silver or bronze wallpaper for reception rooms and emphasizes quiet simple decor.
J Wise and Co Ltd publish the Western Australia Post Office Directory 1915, a trusted reference now in demand across Australia and New Zealand.

It highlights household traders and contact details, published by Wise & Co in Perth.
