Fragmented OCR of a Thomas Hood verse about childhood memory. The speaker recalls a sunlit window at birth, swings and summer creatures, and a shift from childlike wonder to greater distance from heaven. Language is jumbled with misspellings and repeated phrases.
In a New York Times style tale, Arthur Glendenning admires Miss Mary Malvern's courtly fiction while a girl in a red clover picture draws him into a playful, romantic pursuit. A cow, a fence, and a camera set the scene as Miss Malvern reveals the ruse and directs the plot toward a clever resolution at the golf club.
A Kansas City Journal report outlines a proposed 300 acre apple orchard in Laclede County near Lebanon, a $1,000,000 venture by Towans and associates. Plans include 4800 acres of apples with 200 acres for buildings, peach trees for quick returns, and a full network of depots and processing plants. The project aims to grow Ben Davis and Jonathan apples, store fruit long term, and market both own fruit and fruit from surrounding growers to stay aligned with markets. Stump pullers and steam plows are under contract for clearing, with corn berries and other crops to begin income during growth.

Linseed meal is noted as laxative and preferable to cottonseed meal when appropriate, with reductions if necessary.
The article discusses dairy profitability amid high winter feed costs and warns that cheap silos cost more long term due to poor construction.
