Watering Cows in the Stable
The Live Stock Journal urges watering cows in stalls to prevent crowding at troughs and ice hazards. A long trough shaped like a VY running the stable ensures continuous access, with water entering one end and surplus draining from the other. Continuous, warmer water avoids chilling cows and reduces labor from separate troughs.

Intemperate woman’s distressing street disturbance ends with children praying
A good-hearted but drunk woman in the eastern city district caused a street scene and was taken to the police station. Her two young children, ages six and three, followed and pleaded for release. The girl asked if the Lord would come to rescue their mother, and after a brief return home the mother sobered and was sent back. Justice did not force the children to endure a dark night. In Paris, the Society of Agriculture and Insectology plans Mont Souris apiary, botanical collection for bees, sericulture equipment, and silkworm feeding trees.
