In the plains tale, two survivors recount life near Cheyenne and a gamble town. They save two starving sisters by sharing food and gear, then help them reach Denver. The men reflect on frontier hardship, wealth from buffalo robes, and a changing era.
A humorous old item features Henry Augustus’s stubborn line about feet and a dining couple’s wishbone scene. The dialogue showcases quick jokes and domestic quips from a vintage Fun Magazine piece.
A Roserike man quit smoking to set a good example for his young son. He stayed tobacco free for three years until discovering a box of cigars and cigarettes in the boy’s coat pocket, prompting renewed regret and resolve. The Newark News report notes the discovery and the man’s determination to remain smoke free.

A fragmentary line asserts limits on human effort and tool usefulness, pairing the idea that no one can act with certainty to do everything, as read in a terse historical excerpt. The phrasing hints at a philosophical or proverb-like reflection from the source.
The New York Times reports a rare event on March 31 1948 when Niagara Falls fell silent as an ice dam formed from Lake Erie ice. By April 1 the roar resumed and has not since ceased, with parallels to a prior 1817–18 winter when ice buildup created a similar dam before breaking apart.

The Pennsylvania state college bulletin No 114 compares cow sizes and maintenance rations. Larger cows need more feed but not in exact proportion to weight. It notes 750 lb cows require 4 pounds of protein and 4468 therms net energy, while 1500 lb cows need 45 pounds protein and 7.10 therms net energy. A dairy cow’s value ties to milk and butter fat yields, as shown by two tested cows yielding different outputs and values in a single lactation.
The article argues profitability depends on size and production. Smaller cows may be more efficient when milkoutput scales with size, as larger cows incur higher maintenance costs. Factors include maturity age, breeding timing, and beef versus dairy value, with the choice of cow to optimize profit based on production relative to size.
The article outlines prevention and treatment for calf scour including clean premises and water, feeding adjustments, and medicinal steps. It advises using bismuth compounds and a formalin solution in milk for treating scours, with gradual return to full feed after recovery.
