The Iowa experiment station distributed Wisconsin No. 4 oats to northern and central Iowa farmers last spring.

Johnson grass has become a nuisance to farmers in parts of Texas, prompting a legislative move forcing railroads to keep rights of way free of the weed to prevent spread.

Prof. Koch refuses to alter his position after the British tuberculosis report. He argues that there is no evidence cows or milk cause human tuberculosis and calls for legislative updates. The London Daily Chronicle notes the commission only addressed part of the issue. The Meat Trades Journal notes Britain seeks new laws to balance public health and industry.
Oliver E. Doubleday notes soil type greatly affects post longevity. Burr oak lasts longest, with white oak and black walnut next. white walnut from large trees is also good, honey locusts poor, black locust untested. He describes trenching 30 inches deep and 3.5 to 4 inches apart for a 260 rod fence to resist river washouts.
In pastures lacking trees livestock rub against fences causing injuries and broken fences. Installing rubbing posts prevents harm and adds comfort. Two designs shown: a two post top piece and b a single angled post with rounded corners. Posts must be high enough and top rail mortised and set deeply to resist breakage.
A juvenile essay notes ducks as heavy meat birds with hoarse voices from frogs, water loving, and carrying a balloon in the stomach to stay buoyant. It describes duck legs set back, mentions drakes with curled tails, and contrasts drakes with hens in hatch duties. The piece concludes the author would choose to be a drake.
Report notes hogs fail to fatten when thousands of lice feed on the animals consuming their food. Detailing the issue, the piece implies parasitic infestation reduces weight gain and farm efficiency.
A Washington Star poem declares a child’s steadfast love for a father, noting the little feller’s fondness and hopeful trust.

A mantel clock sits still despite winding and shaking until a friend oils each tiny cog. After lubrication the clock clicks to life and keeps steady time, proving time cannot run away when properly maintained.
In a city of wide gates and clean streets, residents mourn in the Land of Regret. Ghosts of past years haunt every corner as dream memories and memories of old loves revive in the living. The piece laments sorrowful lives, long sunsetting, and lingering touch of lost passions.
A poet argues against storming fate and envy of others riches. She finds true value in self love and personal life rather than external beauty wealth or power. The speaker asserts only she can bless or ban her life and that no love is truly lost when given freely.

A lullaby image poem titled Dreamy eyes to slumber go by Ola Smith appears in Woman's Home Companion. It evokes a mother cradle scene with night flora, fireflies, and soft birdsongs creating hush and dewy sleep ambiance.
A short verse fragment from the Houston Post by J. M. Lewis contrasts the lullaby like cradle music with grand anthems and trumpet calls. It emphasizes the tender mother’s tone heard by babies, not royal or triumphant fanfares.
