In a playful tale Peter meets a sober stranger who turns out to be Mocker the Mocking Bird. He imitates Glory the Cardinal and Goldy the Oriole, fooling Peter and Mrs. Goldy while teaching that voices reveal more than appearances.

A German scientist cited by Literary Digest says Chimborazo in the Andes sits farthest from the earth’s center at 3 906.99 miles, surpassing Everest at 8 965.66 miles.

A farming method suggests using surplus milk to fatten broilers. Milk fattening speeds weight gain, improves meat quality, and may raise prices in some markets. Rations mix three pounds yellow corn meal and one pound wheat flour middlings with liquid milk to a pourable batter, with gradual feeding increases and no drinking until liquids come from the wet mash.
An authority cited by Missouri Farmer outlines gosling care. Do not feed until 36 to 48 hours old, then feed a milk-soaked bread mash or corn meal and middlings, with green gross for most of the diet. Fresh water is essential and grazing may replace grain after two weeks. If extra feed is needed, use a shorts corn meal oats mash, progressing to a mix including meat scrap after six weeks. Profit depends on good range and pasture.
The Country Gentleman writer says cutting feed cost is essential and advises poultrymen to install water piping. A three quarter inch main and half inch laterals with an automatic shut off near each colony house will repay costs quickly. Pipe buried in fur rows keeps water cool and daily pan rinsing needs only a bottle brush. Pipes can be removed in fall for storage.
Miss Cora Cooke, extension specialist in poultry at the University farm in St Paul, warns that stunted runts in flocks signal underlying issues. She says some chicks are born runts and should be culled, but better parental stock selection could avoid these problems.

The New York Sun laments the return of decorative plaques in American homes as modernism clashes with era furnishings. It questions whether antique pieces can coexist with tubular steel chairs and right angled bookcases or if the plaque’s appeal will corrupt the room’s style.
