Barrett Eastman in the Chicago Journal imagines a future where the cultivated girl replaces old roles. Men seek prudence and care while love becomes driven by desire and information. The poem argues love endures though changes in societal expectations unfold.
In a small town a trio of men pursues spirits through a derelict hut while John Smith plots to use a murderer's coffin for planchettes. Clara Dill aids Granny Hireh with a midnight grave charm and John reforms after a moonlit reunion.
A harsh critique argues the Democratic party under Hill and Cleveland is split by protective tariff and free silver disputes. It claims leaders avoid bold action, fear the political costs, and threaten a historic loss as Republicans unite behind preferred principles.
A newspaper reflects on Republican prospects and the 1896 race. It notes varying predictions about Blaine Harrison and Cleveland, but argues all GOP candidates would uphold honest money protection reciprocity and honest elections as core party principles.
The piece argues Cleveland faces likely defeat at the convention with New York absent from ballots. It notes Watterson and Springer oppose him while Hill gains momentum. It cites Palmer and Chicago Inter Ocean with critiques of Cleveland, Hill, and party dynamics amid calls for reform and strategic shifts.
A reader describes a kerosene heated hotbed device tested under testing conditions. The design uses a long trench flue along the bed with a 9 inch grade over 50 feet, ensuring drainage, stability, and proper air space for plant growth.
Elmer E. Summery describes a hot bed device to keep soil and boards evenly warm. A central joist strip supports three foot boards spacing heat from a furnace built of brick and fire brick lining with a shaft flue. Coke fuel and a small shed for fuel and workshop complete the setup.
Close relation exists between insect depredators and tree health as arine insects act as scavengers. Half the battle is to help the tree fight for itself by proper manure handling and rapid spreading rather than piling. Fresh sawdust from green wood has limited fertilizer value and may hurt in large masses, while dried sawdust can absorb liquid manure in stables. Logs stripped of bark serve as cheap poultry-house material if well covered, dry, warm, and carefully daubed with clay inside.
Jonathan Wyckoff of N. Eh. Homestead argues straw is of little value as a fertilizer and sells it at five dollars per ton to fund patent fertilizers. He cites soil depletion and a crop rotation of clover, corn, barley, and wheat with constant farm improvement due to annual soil-restoring fertilizers.
The Virginia orchard of Mr. Lupton showed the effect of spraying apple trees to curb the codlin moth. After halting spraying at one third completion, sprayed trees yielded 1 000 barrels of worm-free apples while the unsprayed two thirds produced 883 barrels, with one fifth wormy. Lupton estimates full spraying would have increased returns by about $2 500.
Prairie Farmer cautions that working wet soil harms structure and germination. Delaying seeding until the soil dries yields better germination and a sturdier start, with faster long term growth. Preserve readiness and strike when the soil dries to a good filth for crops like grass clover and seed.
A compact shelter for milking yards offers a neat, rainproof place to set milk until cows are milked. It includes a lower shelf for stools and urges using proper milking stools rather than improvised seats.
A Louisville Courier Journal piece urges humane horse care with cautions on harness care, steep descents, frightening treatment, proper stops, avoiding irritants, and balanced feeding. It advocates training from the horse’s perspective to prevent injury and runaway risks.
Prof. I P Roberts argues city-manure is often costly and loses value when stored in yards. He notes well preserved manures can be cheap but exposed piles waste plant food. The piece also mentions importing grafted Spanish chestnut and chestnut flour used in southern Europe as a wheat flour substitute.
