The mock ad touts safe, costless labor, no dogs, and a spectral watchdog against burglars, ending with a plea to send any unemployed phantoms to the office.

Butter Making and Dairy Shortages Ahead
The Massachusetts Ploughman urges skill to make high quality butter, noting many farmers could become butter and cheese makers if they learn the trade. Iowa dairymen report cream shortages in 1882, costing about $200,000 at current butter prices due to skimmed milk loss. Suggestions include frequent cream tests, maintaining consistent temperatures, proper timing, and aging of cream. Farmers consider cheaper feed, silos, and ensilage to cut costs, with some trialing small, affordable silos and drainage improvements to improve storage.
