Radford outlines rat damage and grain protection in farm buildings. Describes rat-proof, vented corn crib and granary design with wide doors and central drive. A platform scale weighs grain as it enters the crib, improving handling and storage security for farmers.
CORA Cain describes an inside cup elevator installed at a farm to load grain from a pit to a cupola and into bins eliminating manual labor. The system speeds loading, but farmers face ongoing pest and rodent damage that causes yearly losses including ruined corn and taxes.
The article promotes a sturdy 26 by 36 foot corn crib with concrete foundation and central drive for efficient grain storage. It notes rat-proof design, elevating with an elevator spout to bins, and argues such modern labor-saving facilities attract and retain farm help while protecting harvest quality and profits.
A Brooklyn Institute Museum specialist says full grown sulphur bottom whales average just under 80 feet, discounting sailors’ exaggerations.

Two of the Chanticleer crew were cast ashore nearly naked after their small boat stove in on a rock during a gale. They built a lean-to shelter with driftwood and survived two days of snowfall and starvation before a rescue by H M S Shearwater near Esquimalt. The pair vowed not to resort to cannibalism should one die.
The piece notes how tastes have shifted since the fifteenth century Europe. It cites crane, heron, peacock, seal, swan, porpoise and whale as common or notable dishes for the rich, with Turks tongues and royal birds once served. It contrasts Tuscan meat habits, favoring oxen work meat over mutton and hedgehog despite sheep herds.
A Brooklyn Institute museum researcher, in Brooklyn New York, reports a measured study on whale lengths. He notes credible reports of 85 feet to 100 feet are unconfirmed and based on sailors tales. Young whales are estimated at 30 to 35 feet, with rapid growth observed.
The article argues that pictures should be hung with space to be enjoyed, with exquisite works given room to stand out. It cautions that a small image on a large wall is poor, and common sense should guide placement so a piece is neither lost nor cluttered.
Grand Rapids officer Major John Garfield Emery was unanimously chosen national commander at the Indianapolis executive committee meeting.

A dairyman achieves success by mastering animal breeding, proper feeding, and attentive care. Practical knowledge of animals and steady hands are essential for productive dairy farming.

The week brought subdued buying in stocks and cotton while wheat and corn markets showed modest moves. Visible wheat supply fell 1.22 million bushels, and cash wheat prices in Chicago ranged from 1.08 to 1.42 per bushel with September futures higher for wheat and lower for corn. Prices for feed, gluten, and meal shifted amid rising demand for higher grades, while cattle and hogs saw varied changes, with fat lambs down and veal and mutton weakening slightly.
