A neighbor shares a practical sheep-raising plan noting 50 Merino ewes bred to a Southdown ram. Ewes winter on bluegrass, withminimal grain, then lamb in July. Each ewe averages one lamb sold at $3 to $4, wool worth about $2, labor light. He cites profitability but warns it suits mild winters and good bluegrass.
A writer explains feeding hens with morning mash of boiled potatoes and clover hay and silage. He notes hens lay more eggs in December through March and that they sell eggs and fowls at high prices. Roosters are scarce in spring as they are sold in fall.
Fragments discuss pruning dead branches to protect a tree and the value of a mule’s digestion in daily work. A brief editorial tone references a detective story’s merit versus other literary forms, with a quip about a president’s message.
A quote from the Chicago News frames a playful chain about fears between genders and creatures, noting a man fearing a woman and a woman fearing a mouse, ending with the observer’s presence in the middle of the exchange.
A provocative column argues that couples with smoking habits and club memberships face frequent financial disputes, noting statistics that 12 of every 100 marriages end in divorce within sixty years while 88 endure. It questions whether marriage is inherently false, urging readers to consider enduring couples as a counterpoint.
A discussion on heredity notes how praise for genealogy often links to nobility. The piece cites Pope's line about ancient but ignoble blood creeping through scoundrels, critiquing the notion without naming modern individuals or events.
At Seagirt New Jersey on July 18 Speaker Clark and Governor Wilson spoke for two hours about pending business in the house of representatives.
