Trials of a Turkey Raiserc
Members of the House of Representatives joke about Representative Charles D. Landis of Indiana who experiments in turkey raising. Landis bought bronze turkeys with a turkey house and literature on wealth from turkey farming.

Automatic Watering Pot From German Publications
A description of an automatic watering device for houseplants uses a thick cotton wick about five feet long inserted into a rubber or glass tube. The tube is bent in a U shape with unequal legs, and the wick ends protrude. The short end soaks in a pail overnight while the wick draws water to saturate.
Watering device with wicks aids plant care
A German inventor touts a thin bovine watering system that uses a suction started wick to distribute water. The setup involves a pail, tube, and several wicks feeding pots, allowing a caretaker to leave for the day while plants receive needed moisture. In warm weather, covering the pail and wrapping the tube prevents the wick from drying.
