Terrible cholera tragedy in Kentucky county churchyard tale
A Kentucky county tale recounts a cholera outbreak in a family and following deaths. Witness Mr F J Settle says the Edlington family fled, returned, and faced neglect and threats. A young woman died in hours, her brother and parents died soon after, and others were driven from a house suspected of spreading the disease. The account condemns perceived heartless denial of shelter and care during the outbreak.

Feeding Colts and Young Horses for Driving Purposes
A Maine Farmer correspondent, noted as a successful driving horse breeder, shares his feeding regimen. Colts receive generous rations with oats and hay increasing by age, four pounds oats for weanlings, six pounds for two year olds, and eight to ten pounds for older colts, with corresponding hay. Year-olds and older horses receive larger hay portions. Daily exercise includes a half hour gallop for foals in winter, with older horses driven. Bran mash weekly and occasional potatoes and oats are included, plus rare corn during cold weather.
