A fragmented verse narrative by Samuel Cornstalk recounts a coarse rural scene with scattershot dialogue among characters including Penny, Crook, Polly, and Mother as they bemoan trouble, alert danger, and shout across a yard. The piece evokes frontier speech and domestic ado in a brisk, humorous mood.
The text muses on intellect and perception with odd phrasing and scattered images. It alludes to roosters crowing, a Dewy figure, and a tapestry of natural observations, ending with a call to see beauty in nature as a grand creative work.
A fragmentary Sunday page mixes gossip and humor from Sydney society. It jumbles anecdotes about lovers, Kipling rumors, and a racing scandal with stray remarks on women, fox hunting, and a flamboyant line of characters, all in a playful, farcical tone.
A rowdy scene unfolds as townsfolk react to a volatile pamphlet by Anardl containing speeches by members of Parliament. The crowd mocks and jeers while a midder of the BOF laments the impact of the printed pages on the crowd and town life.
Mr Cham J Woollett discusses water purification during droughts for farmers, noting unsafe levels of suspended organic matter and pathogens. He critiques boiling, domestic filters, and argues for chlorination with calcium hypochlorite as a simple on-site method, with practical mixing steps and safety cautions.
