The Indiana Farmer notes E. C. Bamner, a major farmer and cattle raiser eight miles south of Kentland, sold 1,075 head of cattle for $65,000. It cites agricultural tips on horse hoof care, crops like sorgums, Chinese soil fertility, grass coloring, and various recipes and beekeeping advice, reflecting rural life and farming interests of the period.
A collage of brief curiosities spans Alyth Scotland fires from sunlit glass, Lyx Mass pear tree contrasts, a two- toed lizard-like feet chicken, a 22 year old inmate in Virginia Penitentiary, a Kokomo Indiana fish shower, and genealogical note on Jous Tuomas fathering 32 children. Also reports on Irish eviction force counts, Chicago actors foiling amateurs, a patent medicine claim, a whimsical Four-Corners Store portrait, eternity analogies, and a San Francisco stock broker remark about women wealth.
A Western tale recounts Bob the driver taming six furious Englishmen with a wild team and a crash proving American coaching. In Paris, new marriage customs emerge with betrothal balls and early contracts, followed by civil then religious ceremonies. Also notes a veal dish with onions and carrots. A husband jokes about a wife called green fruit for disagreement.
A man helps a widow invest 4000 in Consolidated Virginia mining stock after she is content with 2 dollars. The stock falls, she loses 2000, sues him, while still holding 2000 she once said would suffice. He had warned against speculation and kept his profits.
Vivid fragmentary scenes mix a whimsical Bumble Bee on clover with a cruel tale of a boy's mischief and a grown man named Martin. Narratives shift to moralizing memories of ghosts and a pirate dream, ending with a churchyard pistol incident in Crittenden County Kentucky.
