Agriculture notes and airs of farming wit and hints
A column titled Grange and Agriculture mixes satire and farming tips. It references the war economy and million in circulation, advice on seed corn and wheat yields, apple markets, butter sales, and the value of fairs with side shows. It cites Argentina seeking an agricultural department and recalls Farmers Almanac guidance from 1800 with seasonal tasks and credit cautions.

Savings Bank for Soldiers and Other Odds and Ends
A Kansas City Journal note explains a federal soldier savings program from 1872 allowing deposits via paymasters with a 4 percent interest after reaching fifty dollars. Deposits are protected from debt attachments but lost if desertion occurs, with paymasters responsible for proper handling. The piece also mentions Sir Frederick Milbank’s record grouse shoot in England and ends with a dialect anecdote about a singer David Bisham.
