A Kansas City Journal tale of a clever drummer who relocates chairs by polite disguise and a bank mix up. It contrasts American aggressive advertising zeal with the English habit of underplaying ads, noting Americans spend and optimize to maximize impact while English efforts often miss the mark.

A guide from Agricultural Bulletin explaining salt use in butter making and how to obtain uniform saltness. It covers optimal salt quality, salting technique in churns, expected salt content per pound, and brine losses during work. It also describes desirable traits for ewes to produce first class market lambs, including constitution, body depth, rib spring, head and neck quality, uniformity, prolificacy, and nursing ability.
A philosophical meditation on true love describing it as a life transforming, exclusive bond between one man and one woman.

Goad roads, like good streets, make habitation along them most desirable. They economize time and force in transportation of products, reduce wear on horses and vehicles, and enhance market value of real estate and farm lands. They beautify the country, facilitate mail delivery, and aid education, religion, and sociability.
The piece laments roads laid to settlers paths and boundary lines, ungraded and costly to improve. It notes farmers avoiding harvesting rye in rye fields and instead feeding ground rye in slops. It decries the waste and calls beekeeping a vital colony resource harmed by poor practices.
