Specialists report a 177 percent rise in exports of dressed beef and beef products over the last three years as the United States intensifies cattle and pork production. To meet demand, farmers should improve calf survival, grow calves into market-ready baby beef by one to two years old, and emphasize quality, uniformity, and efficient feeding across regions.
A long kitchen advice feature covers food preparation tips and recipes. It includes pineapple and gelatin cautions, bread and pastry instructions, child feeding guidance, safe kitchen practices, and varied dishes such as Devil's Cake Without Edge and Soy Bean Loaf, with notes on storage and wholesome eating for children.
The United States Department of Agriculture outlines methods to raise hog output by 15 percent during 1918. Strategies include breeding for two litters yearly, better care, larger numbers per sow, pasture and forage crops, waste reuse such as city garbage, balanced rations, self feeders, alfalfa and legume forages, hogging down grain sorghums and corn, finishing hogs to about 275 pounds, and disease prevention to keep hogs healthy. The report also covers livestock counts by class and regional notes on cattle, swine, horses, and other stock.
The total estimated value of all farm products including animal products for 1917 is $19,443,840,351, up from $13,406,361,011 in 1916 and $90,388,765,779 as the five year 1910-14 average. Values reflect producer prices and apply to total output whether consumed on the farm or elsewhere.
Farmers shift to barley as hog feed to save wheat. The change signals barley’s rise as a major hog feed, similar to corn in the Midwest, with potential to also support feeding beef cattle on the same farm.
Jubal is credited with inventing the harp 3875 years before Christ and a writ recalls David playing the harp before Saul in 1083 B.C. An ancient manuscript notes the harp in use in Ireland during Geide's reign around 659 B.C.
A garbled collection of quips and sketches from a 19th or early 20th century paper, including political humor about taxes and democracy, stage gags about ghosts and fashion notes, with mismatched lines referencing ministers, coal, and public life. The piece evokes satirical snippets rather than a single narrative.
In a terse, fragmentary note N W C describes a Red Cross branch visit where a woman examined surgical dressings and asked if all the gauze was cauterized revealing the era's medical wartime literacy and concern about sterilization practices.
An old advertising line urges mothers to inspect Castoria bottles for the signature claiming over 30 years of use. A humorous local item quips that some men start the day by scolding at breakfast, while an old bachelor jokes that an optimist is a married man who says he is glad of it.
In a courtly exchange, old man Simpkins opposed his daughter’s marriage to Bill Smith but admitted Mitt’s father was right after six months of marriage. A stray ad line offers a sharp contrast with images of smiles, bag blue clothes, and opportunistic quotes.
The scene centers on a father explaining a phrase about aid on the table. He clarifies that the expression signals tangible support being offered. The exchange emphasizes practical meaning behind a common idiom.
An ad describes a gray hair mixture using water and 102 Ray Ri, with instructions to raise it at home at low cost. It promises gradual darkening and gloss without coloring the scalp, being non sticky or greasy, and not rubbing off. A separate joke states a man lost money by placing it in his wife’s name before a divorce.
