Homestead Farm notes and reflections on life and music
A Homestead Farm column reflects on local humor in the Evening Journal, contrasts city pleasures with rural comforts, and laments violence in nature while recalling a recent broadcast from KDKA Pittsburgh. The piece muses on life’s joys and regrets and ends with Potpourri about calves on the farm.
Weaned in the wrong month and moon signs note
A reader asks which day month or moon signs suit calf weaning after three days of bawling cows and calves. The piece recounts a Nov 13 birthday of Marvin Stumpf on a farm near Pilotsburg and mentions local weather lore and December equinox predictions by Albert Weiland of Riverside. It also notes a sale date of Dec 17 for David Benson and praises radio artist Jack Little's performances.
