It also covers oats smut prevention with formalin, balanced hog rations, manure spreaders, sunlit pig ranges, and a new prolific pea variety for early markets.
A fisherman Urashima frees a sea turtle and meets the sea god's daughter who invites him to live underwater. After three years he visits his village, finds his parents long dead, and returns to the sea shrine, aging 400 years in an instant as the shrine’s blue vapor vanishes.

A Madison New Jersey social stunt titled the dyspepsia dinner attracts about fifty local residents. Hosts staged a mock feast featuring a bizarre menu and comic courses, with a sheriffs posse as part of the spectacle. The event satirized medical foes while the coroner’s involvement is teased for a future local column.
A humorous column notes social quirks and foibles from Atchison times. Jokes about book agents, fashion as wagon shaped hats, and family life pepper the piece. It muses on mystery of private effort vs. public praise, then ends with everyday depot observations and commuting quirks.
