Mary Kilbreth criticizes young women for indifference to elders and links suffrage to trends she calls shocking. She recalls a bathing-beach scene where a girl flouts norms and warns of a forthcoming evening gown surprise.
A brief dialogue cartoon notes a wife’s death attributed to treatment and a physician’s courteous nonchalant response. It humorously contrasts professional courtesy with consequences in a medical context.
A whimsical item notes a wedding described as a flivver and jokes about a tin one, reflecting playful banter in Buffalo Express. It also mentions art galleries embracing moving pictures in the era.
Jerry Shine of the Alpine dam crew recalls rescuing a fawn named Billy after finding a dead doe. Years later the deer returned, now with two pronged horns, to pose with Shine at the dam parapet as his taller companion in a notable forest encounter.
A humorous line notes an Australian industry raising kangaroos and suggests it keeps participants perpetually “on the jump.” The quote adds that success comes from effort rather than luck, reflecting a steady work ethic.
Farmers rush hay to city markets as U S hay production nears record highs in 1919. Market hay is split into city and local grades with city hay requiring higher No 1 standards and careful baling. Bales must be uniform in size, edges square, wires correct, one grade per bale, and sized for specific markets from 70 to 225 pounds.
A 20 000 head single comb white feghorn flock, standard bred, joins the Better Sires Better Stock drive by the USDA and partners to raise domestic animal quality.

The article advises greasing moldboard and shovels on plows and cultivators while wheels need no more oiling this winter. Apply a generous coat of axle grease to moldboard and shovels now to save elbow grease in the spring.
The article argues against uniform shallow plowing. It states that turning subsoil to the surface occasionally prevents hard, impenetrable bottom layers and allows air water and roots to access nutrients. This practice liberates plant food and increases effective soil depth for crops.
The article advises scarifying seed and inoculating soil for clovers and alfalfa. It stresses soil prep free of perennial weeds for alfalfa, with sweet clover being more tolerant. It mentions mixing red, alsike, and white clover with grasses for hay or pasture and expanding use under irrigation.
One million acres of forest land in the United States produce nothing of value. The text compares this expanse to several European countries and argues it could be transformed into productive forests under forestry management.
