The piece notes how ranks shape terms for wives from general's consort to workingman's wife, with a humorous line about the mother living near Grant's Tomb and her memory when the Brooklyn fires its twenty one gun salute.

A Collins era article by A C True from Minnesota Experiment Station compares soil fertility impacts of grain only versus mixed grain and stock farming. It details nitrogen, phosphoric acid, and potash removals and gains under dairy, stock, and general farming, with examples from 160 acre farms.
