An Illinois Farmers' Review correspondent describes a simple lice fighting device. A suspended platform hangs two feet above the ground with cross 2x4 roosts laid on it. The board tilts cleanly for scraping droppings then is reassembled and treated with kerosene to kill lice.
The article notes widespread honey farming across the United States with most bees on fruit and dairy farms. It cites a surplus of production over consumption, an export value around 63 to 69 thousand dollars, and describes packaging as one-pound frames with 12 to 24 frames per case.
The article cites Utah station experiments on laying hens showing strong egg declines after the first year. It notes Leghorns and other breeds averaging fewer eggs in year two and beyond, suggesting profit from culling older hens to make room for new pullets.
Water cleanliness and varied diet are essential for healthy poultry. Use coal oil to curb parasites and avoid hatching bantams before September for better appearance. Prevent filth with ventilation and lime washes, provide gravel for fattened birds, and ensure dry ground floors to reduce disease. Bone meal and oyster shells aid growth, with early marketing boosting profits and feed efficiency.
The article notes leg weakness in large heavy chicks, especially when fattened quickly for market. It suggests that forcing birds to move and forage reduces weakness and recommends daily exercise and a meat and feeding material allowance to improve condition.
An illustrated method from Gleanings in Bee Culture describes a Mve carrier built from a steel tire backbone and a buggy-spring front. Carriers slip over the hive, hook at the back, and grip the sides for hands free lifting up stairs.
The moulting period strains birds as old feathers shed and new ones grow. Once replaced, birds recover and show improved vigor and laying rates. Old plumage can harbor lice and parasites and related diseases.
In this excerpt from Darper's Weekly the author muses on spring pilgrimages and the Mecca bound railway. He contrasts ornate East allure with plain third class cars and notes how steel rails gradually naturalize the landscape and tempo of travel.
An old piece contrasts Demosthenes with modern orators noting varied delivery flaws. It cites Henry Clay fluent, Webster hesitant, Calhoun tugging collar, Benton mumbling, Cass uttering Aw tw, and Webster stumbling over Latin quotes. It argues substance matters more than flair.
A dated anecdote from Georgia recalls a brief morning encounter between a former governor candidate and an elderly black man. The dialogue humorously riffs on the candidate’s appearance and presumed wealth as he nears an election.
A brief portrait of Ohio highlighting its corn production ranking, population density, military potential, geographic span, early settlement areas, lack of precious metal mining, and coal and iron wealth. It notes Ohio’s high population for its size, compares to Illinois, and emphasizes regional growth from southeast settlements to broader modern prominence.
Reflections touch on quick wit and misdirections about marriage and self governance. The piece promotes Santa Fe Railway’s Colorado Summer booklet highlighting mountain scenery and health benefits for summer travelers with a Chicago contact for obtaining the pamphlet.
A Milwaukee Sentinel quotation explores social perceptions of politeness and suspicion. It notes that genuine business motives are doubted as gambling hints arise. It contrasts female ambition with neighborly competition and questions actors’ pursuit of luxury versus modest hotel stays.
A fragmentary column notes a statistic about life insurance among women and shares quirky vignettes about Ellen Terry and Sarah Bernhardt. It mentions Patti with a silk scarf and brides in Australia pelted with rose leaves. A playful exchange about a girl dressing as an Indian closes the snippet.
