Miss Pugsley describes how students transform discarded items into usable objects, painting stoves, making a rocking chair, and building a floor lamp from a can and pencil. Eyes once blind now see possibilities as eager hands create with match boxes, spools, and paper for books and washboards.
The article describes how Bellevue hospital patients aged four to six use cardboard houses to recreate daily life. Children craft windows, furniture, sewing, gardens, and shops, turning play into therapy. Their hospital village grows with kitchens, stores, a music corner, garages, a post office, and a hospital ward, while normal child play themes emerge.
The Manchester Weekly Guardian describes an electro microphone that acts as an ultra audible device for human ears. It promises to reveal sounds unheard by humans such as distant noises and insect calls, potentially transforming our ability to hear the world.
At the Putney regatta in England police protected rival crews from enthusiastic girls storming dressing rooms after the race seeking autographs. A large officer blocked access and explained the crew is forbidden autographs this year to prevent pestering.
A lyrical note likens a butterfly to a voice of the spheres in mating call. The passage imagines listening in on cosmic unity as the insect salutes its mate with a deep, resonant call.
In Billville the autos spark mixed views as residents reflect on crash harms yet commends the vehicle’s utility remarking that damages could fund paper expansion and even two mules with a new plano.
United States Department of Agriculture summarizes findings from Bulletin 1202 by H R Tolley and W R Humphries. Tractors reduce labor and horse use, boost productivity, and cut power costs, though initial and running costs vary by farm.
A Missouri College of Agriculture note outlines two Johnson grass control methods. For small infestations, plow and hand grub roots in fall or spring, repeatedly over two seasons. For heavy infestations, fence field, plow in fall, and let hogs till ground over winter to reduce roots, a practice used periodically though not fully curative.
The author argues higher yields come from fewer acres with emphasis on manuring mulching and weeding. He notes many farmers achieve 40 bushels per acre on just a quarter acre by intensive care, freeing space for other crops and improving overall farming economics.
Lloyd S. Tenny of the USDA warns that farmers cannot solve marketing issues by solo effort and that cooperative marketing is not a cure-all. He notes farmers are manufacturers facing the same issues as other businesses and cites Capper Volstead act support plus large 1923 cooperative business totaling over 2.2 billion dollars as proof of effectiveness.
Dairy expert Ben F. Eldredge warns dirt in milk breeds harmful bacteria. He urges strict hygiene from barn to milker to pails, stating sunlight and steam are the best cleansers and that even a sour rag can taint entire milking.
Trees provide shade protecting pavement, cooling air in summer and warming in winter. They offer wildlife habitat aiding pest control, support sanitation, and help keep air pure. Trees supply fuel wood, timber and materials, beautify landscapes, improve climate, and conserve soil and water, as noted by Missouri State Board of Agriculture.
Soy bean straw, left after threshing, compares favorably with timothy hay in feeding value. The loss is greater with soy bean straw than with timothy. It contains about three times as much digestible protein but fewer carbohydrates, and total digestible nutrients are similar. Horses seem to do better on the soy bean straw.
The article urges testing soil acidity before sowing sweet clover and notes sweet soil for alfalfa, onions, and cabbage. It warns against early plowing if stands look thin and cautions not to turn stock out too soon as early grass is low value. Celery requires rich soil and ample moisture for a tender crop.
Iowa State College dairy experts summarize key practices from cow testing associations to boost profits. Emphasis covers matching feeds to dairying, eliminating scrub sires, using pure bred dairy sires, removing unprofitable cows, rational feeding, attentive care, regular milking, year round succulent feed, fall freshening, and supplementing late summer pastures with alfalfa or soiling crops.
The article explains phosphorus needs in dairy cow rations when forage comes from acid soils or non legume crops. It notes lime minerals should be fed 3 to 4 pounds per 100 pounds of grain, mentions legumes are safe, and highlights wheat bran and middlings as phosphorus sources. It also cites sodium phosphate increasing milk when cows are dry but calls for further study on general profitability.
Dairy notes recommend soy bean hay as a strong annual substitute for clover or alfalfa and praise well cured oat and pea hay for dairy cows and sheep. They note alfalfa provides ample protein for work, alfalfa on quality hay can yield over 300 pounds of fat per cow yearly, and corn silage with alfalfa hay are top roughages while Sudan grass offers pasture after oat.
