A detailed description of a large dairy barn built by C. M Peterson near Ferndale illustrates a 40 cow capacity with a 62 by 24 foot hay barn and a 70 by 24 foot cow barn. The design includes a 14 foot drive way, ventilated hip roof, storage rooms for roots, and separate stalls for males and sick cows, reflecting a complete dairy operation.
An English journal notes Bank of England security boosts and the grass belt’s rapid westward spread in the United States.

The writer outlines three anarchist classes and contrasts them with socialists and syndicalists.
