The article discusses hog louse as a major hurdle in hog farming. It notes constant reproduction, that single treatments fail, and control must continue for weeks or months with diligent monitoring. Farmers should know effective lice killers and maintain persistent efforts to keep hogs healthy.
An Ohio Farmer advises regular, thorough treatment of hogs to eradicate lice. Use kerosene emulsion or other washes with a knapsack sprayer, apply in a close pen while hogs are fed, spray until all hogs are drenched, then repeat after a few days. Cost is low and results steady with consistent effort.
A Farmers' Review note urges timely planning for hog pastures. It stresses rotating forage types through seasons, with blue grass in spring, followed by young clover, then rape when clover loses succulence, and cow peas in suitable sections.
Rural World notes the ideal market lamb favors a 190 pound fat and plump carcass, not overly boned or large framed, with minimal flesh needed to achieve smoothness. For yearlings, a larger framed sheep with smooth deep flesh at 125 to 150 pounds is preferred, guiding feeders toward maximum gains.
The article advises finishing hogs by limiting corn until comfortable, then selling promptly as hogs fattened on corn are tender and susceptible to abuse or disease. Breeding hogs should not be fed acorns, instead use feed with bone and muscle-building qualities.
The Milton Kentucky News laments the Trimble hen as the true Kentucky queen. It humorously contrasts rustic farm life with town ways noting the hen’s egg production outpacing milkmaids and husbands, crowning the bird amid rural pride and local wit.
A farm guidance note discusses common winter hen ailments like hoarseness and nasal congestion caused by drafts. It advises keeping birds dry and warm, limiting exercise, and applying camphorated oil, quinine mixture pills, throat swabs, and nourishing foods. It covers dosages and cautions for breathing difficulties.
A fragmented historic note describes a simple two story hen house design enabling storage or housing of fowl with access from the ground. The text hints at a novel method to hold two flacks and suggests a practical grade change within a building to raise poultry access.
Architectural snippet describes elevating a door with full slat coverage to support two flocks. Consul Mason notes American flax has demand in Germany and Poland’s Warsaw market hosts an annual goose fair with tar and sand foot protection to prevent injuries during long migrations.
A Kansas City Journal anecdote cites an insurance man who notes human frailty after a neighbor’s home fire. The man ignored a telephone in his house to raise an alarm while another nearby did not act, prompting questions about motives, duty, and trust in people. The tale ends with a light aside about if insurers held a policy on the case. Grain-O ad follows.
A Philadelphia Press item recalls a bargain day and a scolding child, noting a penny offered for quiet and a rascal remark. The snippet also mentions a Sunday school quip about being made of dust and a humorous parental retort. Included is an advert for Piths Cure for Consumption by N W Samuel from Ocean Grove dated February 17, 1900.
A jumble of old advertisements and lines on explosives, tonics, and remedies. Prominent mentions include a 1000 pound shot twenty miles and Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. Also advertised are Grain-O coffee substitute, Hall's Catarrh Cure, Cascarets, and various quack potions, with scattered quips and trivia typical of a colonial-era newspaper page.
A dated ad prompts buying Burnham Hasty Jellyeon from grocers to dissolve in cold water for a delicious healthful dessert. It lists flavors lemon orange raspberry strawberry peach wild cherry and calfafoot for wine and coffee jelly logo beverages. All grocers sell it.
Letters from Ohio and Tennessee rail a Columbus Peruna advertorial praising its use among inmates of the Sisters of the Good Shepherd for grip coughs and catarrh and from Congressman Meekison for head catarrh. The piece links Dr Hartman and Peruna to medical reform and promotes homeseekers information from the Nashville Chattanooga and St. Louis Railway.
