Naturalists describe Sumatra forest spiders that mimic a palm leaf fan by weaving a camouflaged web. The neutral colored trap lures flies and other prey, which approach as if drawn to the leaf edge.
A long collage of comical exchanges and sketches features a London suffragette leader’s visitor, social scenes, quips about temperance, a rural carrier, and cartoons of clever scams. Notable bits include Mrs De Brick, a talk on socialism, a vendor’s finances, a wrecked car joke, and a rubber company pitch with a wary investor.
The article warns that sore shoulders arise from idleness and improper handling. It urges gradual light work before full duties, proper collar fit, and custom collars for each horse to prevent pressure, rubbing, and muscle hardening as horses resume spring work. It notes colts and idle horses need extra attention due to soft, bulky muscles.
Claiming to cure dyspepsia and stomach disorders with mandrake and betternut based formula Dr Hamiltons Pills are advertised as a scientific remedy. The ad urges refusing substitutes and notes 25c per box with Catarrhozone Co Kingston Ontario as distributor.
Guidance on adjusting horse collars to fit properly, keep clean, and prevent chafing. Recommends pads to reduce size, regular rests during field work, lifting collars to dry shoulders, and hand-rubbing to remove dried perspiration. Notes varied irritation from collar friction among horses.
The article argues that size alone should not guide stallion selection for draft horses. It warns against coarseness, notes a shortage of large geldings and mares due to past undersized usage, and explains demand for heavy, well-conformed horses amid labor scarcity and bad roads. It cites heredity as a strong influence on offspring.
A rural Ontario reader credits Dodd’s Kidney Pills with a dramatic kidney disease recovery after a year of illness. The piece shifts to horse breeding tips, stressing that size does not equal weight and detailing conformation signs for large draft horses. It ends noting a New York deaf mutes banquet passed quietly.
A testimonial from Manley M. Legarde of Williamsburg touts Nerviline as a fast cure for severe cramps and stomach distress. The ad claims rapid relief within ten seconds and urges households to keep Nerviline on hand, available in 50 cent large bottles or 25 cent trial sizes from local dealers or The Catarrh Ozone Co. of Buffalo and Kingston.
