Labor and Food Degradation in Labor Led Markets
A vivid, era tone piece condemns food adulteration in the United States. It cites a senatorial committee on pure food investigation in Chicago showing about 90 percent of prepared foods adulterated with poisonous substances. It notes preservatives, scraps of meat, and preserved milk and fruit as unsafe, and laments consumer hardship while offering little concrete remedy beyond urging cheaper products as danger signs. The piece closes with a skeptical note from The Philosopher on affordability and safety.

Pigs Farrowing in Cold Weather Under Warm Hoghouse Care
P. W. Peterson describes a hoghouse plan with a central stove and side furrowing pens. Sows and newborn piglets stay warm, with wire fences and box shelters to dry and feed piglets. Portable partitions move litters away from the stove as new litters arrive, reducing cold risk and boosting milk supply while managing udder health and piglet survival.

Kafir Corn for Steers at Oklahoma Station Findings
Experimental results show kafir stover and fodder vary in digestible matter versus average corn products. Kafir heads are less digestible, soaking reduces digestibility, and grinding improves digestion. Grinding kafir meal yields more digestible matter than equal weight kafir corn. Fodder thrashing and feeding kafir corn with shredded stover boosts gains. Relative fattening gains rise with age, demanding higher feed increments over time. The American Goldfinch is praised as a useful pest destroyer feeding on Compositae plants and rag weeds.
