Professor L. Bolles reports on seed wheat quality and criteria for selecting seed, noting moisture, dryness, and maturity affect vigor. He warns against mixed varieties and damaged seed, and cites Indiana field experiments showing optimal planting, plowing, cultivation, and manuring practices, including rotation and fertilizer effects on yield.
Experiments at the New York Cornell station show paper and oiled cloth substitutes for glass unsatisfactory in winter roofwork. Ash and oiled mausalin perform better in summer or late spring. Heavy shade plants thrive under cloth roofs, and in 1801 a cloth roofed house proved ideal for tuberous begonia flowering.
A new winter wheat variety named Velvet Chiff shows strong regional promise. It is hardy and under Indiana experimental grounds has yielded about 28 bushels per acre, indicating potential for higher production with proper care.

In a comic mix up an editor accuses a reporter of killing a man named Bill Thompson in Hickory Corners. A misprint assigns death to Joel Thompson, sparking a heated exchange over a column about a log accident. The piece ends with a farcical addendum about the deceased returning to town to drink.
