A vivid ode to labor and the plowman as hero. It celebrates earth moving furrows, patient toil, and the peasant feeding kings, framing toil as the charter of the soil and as heaven commanded.
A critique of wool marketing practices exposed as dishonest by agents and merchants. The piece condemns weight tricks, underpayment on small lots, and the broader manipulation of prices, urging wool growers to store wool, weigh it themselves, set fair prices, and resist slick buyers. It also cites farmer wisdom and contemporary anecdotes on practical home remedies and farming notes.
A saturated jumble of notices recounts political shifts in Minnesota and relations in the South, a Virginia family’s long journey to Brooklyn, a prisoner’s self testimony as legal proof in Maine, and a bizarre medical case of a woman believed to swallow a snake, later found to be a tumor. The era’s chatter touches Daily News staff movements, livestock disease fears, and oddball social tales.
