The Endless War with Dirt and Dreams of a Farmer
A long paternal prose piece extols farmers to clean pastures, sow rye for winter stock, and turnips for feed. It urges sheep for weed control, cites law on dogs, and promotes rye and turnips as vital for winter forage and health. It also runs a lengthy obituary-like portrait of General Lyon’s death and a Chicago interview with a former whiskey conspirator.
