A collage of jokes notes art patrons who misname wealth in a club sandwich digression. It mulls over art funding and pretensions while interleaving travelers' wonder at Biberia camels and extreme climate anecdotes from the Mongolian plateaus and Gold Desert.
A farm-focused essay argues field losses rise when grain ripens too long before harvest. It cites tested results showing cutting wheat green or as it changes color yields higher per acre and finer flour with less bran. The piece extends to oats rye, advising seed grain to ripen for sowing but early cut for grinding or feed to preserve nutrition.
A reader describes a simple granary contrivance to fill bags by one person. A blacksmith made a frame with a large tin pan bottom mounted on a iron rod. Small hooks hold the bag, which is filled from the top by shoveling grain into the pan.

A 19th-century note extols a simple, inexpensive level for farmers. It claims a $15 device can replace costly levels for drainage, underdrainage, open ditches, irrigation, canals, terracing, road work, foundations, orchard layout, and fencing, reducing guesswork and increasing safety.
A writer in Rural New Yorker describes a three log float method for leveling fields. Three logs of 4, 5, and 6 inches diameters are drilled with two inch holes, chained together, and left with a loop to hitch a team. The float drags and shapes ground without a harrow, producing a fine finish after passing.
Stingy manuring does not pay and careful cultivation will exterminate weeds. Rake up and burn rubbish and let no weeds seed. A good corn knife eases cutting. When Irish potatoes are fully matured dig on a dry day. Spray asparagus tops to prevent rust. The mowing machine and alfalfa harvest depend on proper delivery. Beets stay in place until ground freezes. Market garden waste can feed poultry. To reduce corn smut pluck and burn smut balls. Corn fields remain clean with good cultivation and rain. Harvest season soon arrives.
