The piece recounts Absalom Tims’s odd wealth plan through American Sherry Lin Wine. He borrows on farm, buys 150 root stock, plots 230 acres, then expands with sugar and barrels to mint a rumored 80,000 gallons. Neighbors learn the scheme as the market collapses under mass fermenting.
A Iowa home economist argues oxen outperform horses for field work, citing a farmer’s record of plowing 58 acres with a single yoke. The oxen pulled a heavy 32 tooth harrow, hauled hay and grain, and worked while horses fed. The report notes oxen weigh 8,096 pounds and receive less grain yet perform more hard labor, suggesting they are underrated for agricultural tasks.
A Boston Cultivator article argues farmers grow miserable when chasing better pay elsewhere. It cites a farmer who resolved to stay on his own land, enjoying his work and business, and notes discontentment harms families and neighbors. The piece urges every farmer to remain tied to their farm for personal and communal well being.
