Home, Farm and Garden Tips From the Herald
Weeds drain moisture and reduce all nearby vegetation while cabbage leaves can feed cows and chickens after milking. Remove rhubarb seed shoots to keep plants vigorous, and use stale bread dipped in sweet cream for toast. Harvest cucumbers before seeding, and mushrooms can be broiled with butter parsley and lemon juice. Currants are mashed with boiling water, sugar, and boiled then bottled for cordial use.

She ends with nothing and returns home empty handed, realizing the folly. Adapted from the German in St Nicholas.

Sunrise Differences Between England America
A vignette contrasts sunrises in England and America noting sharper golds in European mornings and purple smoky tones in American skies. The author reflects that daylight feels like a dawn of a new epoch and wonders if the impression is habitual or real, shared from Pennsylvania to distant continents. A French silk thread incentive mentions a newly found South Africa spider with a strong elastic yellow web.
