Practical rural tips cover cattle feeding, dehorning, worming horses, and preserving manure as fertilizer. Guidance includes using red pepper and tincture of iodine for health, avoiding overheating on horses, safeguarding hogs from fire, and joint ownership of farming implements. Warnings about ensilage poisoning in horses are noted.

Recommends festive favors like nuts, chocolate, tea, pink and blue ribbons, and a corsage style wall paper. For a linen shower, ideas include wheelbarrow packages and Cupid themed decorations with gilt arrows and fancy cake toppers.
