A southern agricultural piece argues for hog production as the chief path to cheaper pork and soil fertility. It promotes factory investment tax exemptions to boost pork manufacturing, details pasture crops like Bermuda grass peanuts and sweet potatoes, and outlines crop rotations to feed hogs and improve cotton yields. Professor Lloyd endorses a hog focused plan with practical steps for farmers to profit from hogs rather than cotton.
Forage crops extend grazing season and boost pork yield. Oats and vetch, cow peas, peanuts, and arti chokes provide December to April grazing, summer and fall feeds, with Bermuda grass and clover as a permanent pasture. Cow peas without grain yielded up to 850 pounds of pork per acre on poor hill land. Spanish peanuts on poor land produced 100 pounds live weight hogs per acre, while cow peas averaged 400 pounds per acre on bottom land. Nitrogen from peanuts and velvet beans adds fertilizing value, suggesting abundant feeding crops plus reduced imports. The article questions why poor land and pork imports persist given these gains.
From bulletin 107 by J W Fox, a pea field planted with corn boosts pig growth. In a trial, 61 spring pigs on 17 acres of pea pasture gained 2,893 pounds total, about 170 pounds per acre, with no extra feed, at six cents per pound. This suggests peas in corn as a cheap pork-production strategy for southern farmers.
The article notes the molting process is natural and outlines feeding strategies to support feather regrowth. It urges liberal mash and grain at night to sustain vitality, arguing heavy feeding during molt aids winter egg production and shortens recovery time for hens and pallets.
A Chicago journalist recounts an American farmer who left Iowa for a 160 acre homestead in Western Canada. He built a debt free, prosperous 3,000 acre holding, paying for land in under three years through wheat harvests. The farmer contrasts Canada’s gains with Iowa costs, noting a dramatic rise from sod shack to modern farmhouse and the appeal of boundless possibilities for the willing worker.
The ad proclaims an emigrant who, through energy and activity, rose within six years to a respected farmer and citizen. It asks why he emigrated and asserts the reader can see the answer with their own eyes.
A Cleveland Plain Dealer item notes Mr Blank, a likable first tenor, impressed peers at a suburban social. After a party, the prettiest woman chooses him to escort home, revealing she picked him for his loud voice rather than bravery, deflating his swagger.
Geraldine, treated by her twin brother who is physician in chief, is caught in a prank that leads to a motherly rebuke for “playing pleasant games.” The boy denies the accusation as the sister reports he said a bad word, but she insists he did while whispering.
In a dressing room Sarah Bernhardt ordered peaches but a maid returned with pears. Bernhardt, lamenting lack of good plays, hurled a pear at the girl’s face, then joked it wasn’t an apple. The incident blends humor with a dramatic star’s impatience and a startling accident.
A scientific investigator notes coffee plant leaves can brew an aromatic drink similar to tea. The infusion is bitter but pleasant, with almost as much theme and less tannin than tea, suggesting potential to grow tea and coffee on the same plant.
A report recounts Staylate meeting Maude Brown's father after the club outing. In avoiding each other they collided on the terrace, breaking a $7 garden vase. The father alleges assault by two burly ruffians, and Staylate fears visiting the house to avoid recognition.

He says a Black person urged him to keep his hands off sewer pipe but his boss ordered him to fetch them in. He admits he struck a man with a powerful blow, claiming it was the strongest hit God has ever given.
In 1911 a five year old girl developed a ringworm like eruption on lip and cheek with watery blisters. After using Cuticura Soap and Ointment as directed, the symptoms improved gradually and she was fully cured in a few months. The ad notes Cuticura sold worldwide with samples and a Skin Book.
