Frank Leslie assigns his liabilities over 320000 dollars to J W England, with publishing continuing and staff paid. The excerpt also includes a sermon-like poem reflecting on pastoral life, memory, and shared human experiences across joys and sorrows.

Do Not Attribute Success to Luck on the Farm
A farmer’s manual urges self reliance and hard work. It advises reading agricultural papers, using political journals as wrapping, improving stock and fences, destroying noxious weeds, and studying the farm to maximize daily improvement.
