An oblique, fragmentary verse essay laments drought and moral decay while invoking symbols of weather and judgment. It weaves biblical imagery with improvised lines about climate, virtue, and the world’s peril, mixing archaic rhetoric with surreal, disjointed phrases.
Varied notes on fowl nutrition and bone meal supply, cattle breeding practice, hog feeding, and swine management. Advice covers bedding, pasture use, grain mixes, and the importance of consistent feeding, plus opinions on lemonade intake, pickling eggs, and preserving produce. Also includes human interest sections and a discussion on women’s dress and social mores.
The text extols Windsor Castle as England's finest royal residence where Queen Victoria and family reside much of the year. It describes court practices from pin selections for sheriffs to personal audiences, gifts, decorations, and public ceremonies, with anecdotes on palace life and rustic humor about pumpkins and harvest tales.
A streetcar driver shares a quirky tale about his daughter who rides with him on the platform. He reflects on the comfort and pride she brings, the chatter she spares, and the day she will grow too dignified to ride. He jokes about the early mornings and long shifts, fearing the moment she becomes too grown to accompany him.
An excerpt from the New York Tribune reports on a Georgian landowner promoting immigrant settlement but opposing colonization. The piece contrasts Edenic Georgia farming claims with harsh, almost comical depictions of crops, turnips, and turnip-eating dogs, all framed as patriotic rhetoric and regional prosperity.
An old magazine note describes the motmot, a South American bird, as naturally beautiful with green plumage and blue accents. It details how the bird clips two middle tail feathers with its serrated bill to create a decorative variation, a practice occasionally misinterpreted by observers.
An account details vivisection experiments on dogs cats rabbits and pigeons in two rooms at Newton and another town with gas and coal gas exposure. It describes rapid poisoning symptoms, deaths within hours, and the use of anesthetics and the kymograph to study heart activity, alongside calls for humane understanding and student ethics.
A long critique of book theft and preservation, noting volumes borrowed and ruined, and the fate of missing books in shops. Observations include Thomas Barnes Age of Reason copies burned by students, Shandy and Pride and Prejudice volumes frequently missing or spoiled, and Paris stores dealing in odd volumes. Also mentions a Broadway encounter with a famed beauty and a Smithsonian report on a limestone deposit with ancient bones.
Instructions describe selecting a ripe watermelon by thump sound and weight, then cutting it open with a knife to reveal a juicy heart. The piece extols savage enjoyment, notes the fruit’s nectar and mess, and ends with a stray line about three hundred fifty-eight criminals wanted in Georgia with a total reward of 100000.
