Propagating Lobsters Across Massachusetts Coast
A Boston Journal of Commerce note describes a coastal lobster propagation experiment in Massachusetts. An entrapment pond floods a 30 acre area to exchange water, with 40 000 lobsters introduced in 1872 and 15 000 males later harvested while females were returned. The project reports abundant hard shell lobsters and potential large future increases, though concerns about intra pond lobster aggression remain.

Various Household and Agricultural Remedies Collected
A Victorian miscellany lists economical roof painting, poultry house fumigation, horse care, and tree pruning advice. It notes underdraining benefits, Colorado potato beetle behavior, and promotes life insurance with New York Life as a strong option. also mentions worm remedies for children and catarrh cures with Dr Sage’s.
Perpetual growth of wool and hay fever remedies
The article argues wool growing yields enduring profit through continuous lambing and pasture feeding, with lambs often breeding the next year. It contrasts this with salaried work where income stops with labor, notes perpetual sheep expenses, and suggests new counties offer villages near good ranges with social benefits. It then discusses hay fever, its symptoms, suspected causes, and a quinine remedy with specific application instructions.
Manure handling tips urge fresh application over rotted compost
An agricultural note argues fresh manure hauled directly from stables is nearly twice as effective as well rotted manure for corn ground. It says spreading as made saves labor in spring, with minimal risk of strength loss from surface exposure, except on frozen slopes where washing could occur. Also references Perry Davis Pain Killer with testimonials praising its efficacy for cholera and bowel troubles.
