A report from the Iowa station examines milk from fresh cows and stripper cows in cream and butter production. Under the separator system stripper milk yields butter comparable to fresh milk, while gravity systems may differ due to smaller fat globules.

A Canadian cheese factory uses 120 to 140 tons of cheese per season and feeds its whey to about 400 hogs. The hog operation, located 600 to 700 feet from the factory, helps prevent tainting of the next day's milk by odors from whey disposal.
The St Louis Republic advises on lambing care including warm dry quarters, careful feeding of ewes, and gradual milk-based growth for lambs.

Louisiana cattle expansion is praised as southern prosperity grows with warm climates and improved breeds. A sheep dipping warning cites lime and sulfur dangers to sheep health post shearing.

The article recalls the brutal El Caney assault during the Santiago campaign. General Joaquin Vara del Rey led 534 defenders including 487 regulars and 47 guerrillas in a stubborn stand against 4,000 Americans.

A Seattle area fog event described as a moving mist wall over the bay near the city hall drew attention from shipping men and captains.
