A farmer outlines practical steps to aid a newly calved cow and calf. He urges immediate milk feeding, keeping the calf clean and warm, and using blankets if needed.

It cautions against bad handling and recommends good management and feeding, noting some varieties endure while others fail. It warns about weed seed contamination in bulk seeds and urges farmers to identify weed seeds to keep fields clean. Hampshire sheep are vigorous and prepotent.
A collage of quotes on language charm and kindness. A singer struggles with English phrases on a trolley and searches a word book. Philosophical notes praise truth and goodness, with references to Dean Stanley and Phillips Brooks. Advertisements tout health tonics, travel by the Great Overland Route, and wave of consumer appeals.
A Georgia mother writes of her nineteen year old daughter’s long continued bleeding and weakness. She seeks advice before starting Lydia E Pinkham's Vegetable Compound after little improvement from doctors. A second letter reports strong benefits with regular menses and rapid improvement.
A New York correspondence notes a long record marionette performance at No 9 Spring Street where Italian audiences watch for four months as characters from the first crusade unfold. The report also mentions remedies, lighthouse pay, and a Denver railroad dining car service with details on agents in Denver and Salt Lake City.
Alabastine is advertised as a ready to use wall coating that differs from kalsomine repairs. Available white or in fourteen tint colors, it comes dry in packages with full directions and water added before use. Suitable for brick wood or canvas, it claims simple application.
Kalsomines are cheap temporary coatings made from whiteing chalks and clays, stuck with decaying animal glue. Alabastine is a rock base cement that sets and ages well, allowing recoating without washing off old coats. It is widely used in hospitals for its dirt resistance and germ-fighting disinfectant properties.
The advertisement urges using durable Alabastine for interior walls of churches, schoolhouses, and public halls. It claims the genuine product does not rub or scale off, stays clean during its long use, and urges building owners to consult paint dealers or druggists and request a free booklet from the Alabastine Co. in Grand Rapids, Michigan.
The dealer who claims a product is the same as Alabastine or “just as good” may be untrustworthy. He may have bought a cheap substitute and tries to push it as Alabastine, risking legal action for infringement and damages. Owners hold rights to coatings that mix with cold water.
