A varied page notes inventions and farm tips. A self closing gate by Dr Perron B Green of Wytherill uses a weighted rod and roller to close automatically. It discusses seed corn selection, turnips after frost, husking speed, weaning colts, grain ration for young stock, manure salt use, and grape vines on fence corners with an old farmer’s trellis experiment.

A Long Island editor recounts a tale of a horse owned by Samuel Webb of Greenport that heads to its master Sivre each morning and, when its shoe loosens, goes to a blacksmith instead. The page weaves in stray notes about Florida maps, Sunday work bans, and odd ad-like lines, including a medical claim for St Jacobs Oil and a quip about physostigmine.
