The bishop and Caroline reveal their engagement after a night of comic crisis. Constantia’s schemes for the bishop’s happiness collide with Caroline’s unorthodox views, ending in a snowbound spectacle and a public vow to wed. The bishop’s diary proves the union, removing the crisis from the cathedral and diocese.
A poultry expert outlines a lightweight, portable colony house using 1x2-inch framing, netting, tarred paper, and simple openings for airflow. The design emphasizes sanitation, easy cleaning, durability, and open front ventilation to promote health and robust growth in chicks and breeders.
The Michigan Station describes gape caused by a worm that blocks the windpipe and suffocates chicks, especially small ones. Separate affected birds, favor fresh ground, and use solid coop floors to limit worm spread. Treatments include quill and turpentine inserted into the windpipe, looped horsehair to dislodge worms, or tobacco fumes, though the latter is dangerous. Healthy chicks fare best.
A Bee Culture correspondent suggests metal spacers for hive frames. The idea includes nailing an upper spacer to the top bar to reinforce corners and eliminating the lower spacer to avoid propolis filling. One variation envisions two pieces per frame acting as end spacers stamped in three places.
A writer discusses selecting males for breeding, feeding strategies to influence sex ratios, and keeping birds to standard. He notes milk as good feed for laying hens and suggests dividing feed between pigs and hens. The author recalls early hatches ruined by gapes and a later fox and hawk loss incident while raising chicks in a woodlot.
A poultry raiser notes grit is essential for hens even when allowed to roam. He provides grit in the coop since birds cannot always find it themselves and grit substitutes teeth in digestion. Every farmer should ensure grit and feed are available.
Government expert notes treated timber lasts indefinitely with proper preservatives. Since recent advances, cheap methods let farmers and industries treat timber in hours, reducing decay, waste, and forest drain while expanding use of local woods and improving construction durability. Tests will verify commercial viability at three national forests this summer.
A fragmented report discusses use of the kinematograph at Middlesex Hospital for teaching nervous disease. It notes encouragement from several colleagues and ongoing sessions, with reference to Lancet as a source.
