The author reflects on the Russian thistle invading the Great Plains, its rapid spread from Russia about 25 years ago, and how laws failed to curb seed spread. He notes its tough, spiny, wind driven nature, pockets of usefulness for stock in drought years, and a wish for universal land stewardship to end its spread.
An article reproduces Pacific Homestead guidance on dehorning cattle using caustic potash. It describes applying the caustic to the horn button in calves about a week old, wrapping the exposed end to avoid skin burns, and keeping the calf in a dry stable for days to prevent irritation. It notes older stock should be dehorned after age two, and urges owners to use caustic potash early for ease and economy.
C F Van de Water of the Oregon Washington Railroad and Navigation company reports to a Spokane reporter that the North Yakima district will yield about 5100 car loads of fruit this season.

The piece explains cleaning troughs without cracks and describes a simple six to ten foot V shaped trough made from two planks. It advises sturdy ends and platform placement for easy cleaning. It ends with a prompt to consider a stallion's pedigree.
