A rural anecdote tells of Mariar stopping a hen threat by taking an ax and assuring neighbors with calm words. The moment averts open conflict as a domestic dispute over poultry escalates into a settled matter.
A historical overview of Embden geese origins and qualities. It covers ideal gander and goose standards with age, appearance, and care notes. It also lists standard weights and cautions for breeders, and mentions goslings as rapid growers for festive meals.
A reader questions the value of all variety poultry judges arguing most can name 134 varieties and many breeders, noting modern shows favor specialists. The piece cites judges handling thousands of fowls and pigeons in short times, arguing exhibitors demand expertise in specific varieties over broad all round judging.
A humorous rural column discusses a census of rats and their damage to farms, jokes about cooking poultry, and mentions Mrs. Is beth Rime of Caldwell who gas-poisoned rats in a feed barrel. It parodies women winning legislative support with chicken pie and mocks farm pests like skunks and hens.
A winter scene in London notes the appeal of hot baked potatoes and other street foods as the city keys into warmth and commerce. The piece also explains how the ear distinguishes musical tones, detailing the cochlea’s role in pitch perception and the piano like structure of the inner ear.
A Civil War era scene recalls a drummer who hid two geese in his drum then told a colonel he could hear them. The marching unit endures mountain storms and distant observatories while a norse breakfast scene, comic couples, and travel notes fill the rest of the column with brief vignettes.
