A collage of wry quips and brief notes from The Marshfield Times includes jokes about law like a kimono, prunes in theology, a 150,000 candie power light, and a Hamilton county Ohio well delivering both fresh and salt water. It references Gertrude Woker, Boni de Castellano, Mother Stewart, and a jury excuse in Terrell Texas.
Rural guidance covers breeding, feeding, and cattle care. Advice stresses balanced stock management, dairy cow milk yields, calf health, orchard upkeep, and humane horse handling. Practical notes address silos, fruit packing, weather, and fair conduct. Enthusiastic, period voice cites farm practices, insurance, and agricultural wisdom from Kansas to Illinois.
New York Life Insurance Company reports more than 70 million in paid business in the half year ending June 30. The law limits annual writing to 150 million, yet the company appears near the cap, aided by prior headway and the Armstrong investigation. Policyholder payments totaled 21,060,761, split nearly evenly between death claims and living policy maturities and dividends. This reflects modern life insurance as saving for old age and support for families.
Abou Ben Adbern, noted for his modesty, comments on a young season while claiming luck and a low batting percentage. He receives roses from admirers, steps to the plate, strikes out, dodges a lemon from a disgruntled spectator, then returns to the bench.
A fragmentary exchange shows Towne and Browne arguing over an etching sent by a supposed friend Dubley. Browne resents the gift and claims his wife rearranged all pictures in the parlor, accusing Dubley of being no friend. The dialogue reflects social friction over gift etiquette and household disruption.
Two Irishmen share a wry exchange over thoughts while dining. Pat muses about how he might carry clothes on wings after death, while Mike retorts that he should imagine getting his hat over his horns on the other side.
An old advertisement extols Grape Nuts cereal as the best form of starch, claiming pre digested sugar conversion aids quick blood and tissue formation. It argues against vegetarianism due to life removal, touts phosphate of potash from grains, and asserts ten days of use proves the claim.
A Benton Harbor to Chicago electric trolley line eases fruit transport by loading baskets and barrels directly from orchards onto cars. The system reduces horse and wagon hauling, cuts travel to the market, and speeds shipments to commission men in Chicago with multiple daily trips.
A comic tale recounts a portly sheep banker visiting a farm to view a sheep factory investment. He trips down a hay chute, is calmed by a hired man, loses coats and cravat, and departs with a mortgage on the home to avoid publicity, vowing to shun sheep men.
Different cultivated crops use different amounts of water. An experimenter in the west ranked crops from most to least water use as potatoes, oats, wheat, corn, sugar beets, old alfalfa, red clover, timothy, and English rye grass. Understanding moisture needs will aid using scarce western water.
Old advice advocates applying a cement and skim milk mix to tree roots, six inches below ground and one foot above, with a second thin coat. The mixture forms a protective stone-like layer, also guarding feet from rabbit and mouse gnawing.
