Weekly notes supervised by Hon J J Trefd Minister for Woolvets outline how Departments of Agriculture aid producers. They stress central, educative role and dissemination of scientific and practical findings to farmers. Inquiries to the Under Secretary of Agriculture, Sydney, will be answered in Green column.
A North Coast agriculture article reviews Indian cane as a hardy perennial fodder. It praises growth, notes limitations for milk production, and advises balanced rations with protein sources. Pit silos at Wagen reduce losses, while feeding practices at Wagga Experiment Farm show dairy gains with silage and molasses-chaff rations.
Early spring at Wagga Experiment Farm shows four incubators in constant use for hatching. June-hatched chicks perform best, with about 40 percent fertility and 70 percent hatch rate. Dry weather requires artificial moisture and strong ventilation. Five brooders support growing broods, while white diarrhoea remains a key disease. control methods include dipping eggs in methylated spirits and adding potash to drinking water.
A rambling essay recalls longing for Curacao oranges Turkish coffee and Smyrna figs, but finds contrasts in reality. The author notes fake liqueur claims, tobacco imports, and misnamed Castile soap, then laments poor Smyrna figs, and ends with humorous and antiquated anecdotes about Thackeray and a New Zealand magistrate.
A compact critique of public speaking in Australia by Hedley V. O Meagher praises George Houston Reid as a master platform orator. It notes Reid’s forceful delivery, rasping voice, and ability to sway crowds, while acknowledging other strong speakers like Sir Edmund Barton and Deakin.
A fragmented newspaper piece blends lyrics of Joy of Life with a Smithburn barber shop vignette. Cog, a hopeful local figure, entertains barbers and patrons with visions of tobacco innovation and local politics, while glimpses of personal loss and laughter punctuate the scene from Melbourne connections to Theodosia Garrison and Daniel O’Connell.
A rambling dialogue unfolds with quick exchanges among characters and observers. Jokes touch on marriage, labor, art, and social manners as they move through portraits, cigars, and household incidents. A wandering Buddhist custom closes the fragment with odd detail.
