Describes building a hog house adapted to 70 sections with emphasis on shelter, feeding, and ventilation. Details include cement floor, feed room doubling as a slaughter area, brick furnace, stock boards, drop siding, windows, multiple doors, and a ventilator system.
The article describes a practical hog house design with an 28 by 42 feet floor plan, seven foot lower story, ten foot eaves, and features for efficient feeding. It advises no food foundation, two coats of exterior paint, and options like a feeder carer and a cellar with outside entry. A nest, water and feed troughs, and a crosswise 2x4 brace improve cleanliness and feeding ease.
The article traces farm labor wages from 1879 to 1906 showing rises in monthly money pay, noting values like 1043 in 1879 and 17 in 1906. It argues earnings reflect only money, ignoring noncash benefits such as housing, food, and feed, which distort real purchasing power and influence labor migration.
A short piece argues for keeping dogs in dwellings rather than chained outside on farms. It notes a well cared for house dog aids a dwelling, deters thieves, and warns that a chained kennel dog is ineffective, troublesome, and less protective for the household and stock.
Geese live 25 to 40 years and breed till age ten. A small flock on the farm yields feathers for household use such as pillows. Proper management converts feathers into valuable economy. In summer geese may live on an exclusive grass diet.
A historical note recounts Theodore Hook staging a grand hoax by posing as the Spanish ambassador in Southampton. The ruse sparked royal pomp, a banquet, and a mock reception, until the true envoy arrived to a muted, scandalous reception. The episode ended with few consequences beyond embarrassment for officials and some naval officers.
Amateur carpentry and crafts enthusiasts pursue manual training with wooden racks that hold many cards. Racks feature three side bars, two bottom bars, hollowed ornamental feet, sloped tops, oval handles, perforated ends, and brass bars that separate card groups.
The Persian bathhouses are grand buildings in which cleanliness is valued as a religious function. After hot rooms and massage, men are shaved except for hair over the ears, forming a ritual hairstyle. The two head locks symbolize a belief tied to the Angel of Death, and Persians dye hair with henna and veameb before finishing the bath with buttons and smoking.
Mia Isaac L Rice, leading New York antinoise movement, describes cab whistles as a nightly nuisance. She notes continuous tooting from households during the season disturbs sleep into daylight, citing a party in the West End and contrasting views on London nights.
A collage of quotes on German chancellors shaving and self assertion, followed by household meal time frictions and a testimonial about Grape-Nuts aiding an ill husband. The piece blends historical remark with a consumer health anecdote and ends with a tangential, garbled fragment.
A Troy Times note describes visitors signing a large register at the new Harrisburg capitol, listing birthplace and current residence. It recalls an excursion crowd moment when a girl asked an elderly woman about birth details, and the mother replied with a light, moonlit quip about her old home.
