Mr Perkins, tiring of paperwork and coal, is visited by a bold young woman named Mary Archdale seeking honest copying work.

A humorous reminiscence follows Mr and Mrs Oriole wintering in Palm Beach at a fashionable hotel. From a Brooklyn bedroom, the observer notes a willow nest, springtime visits by a gallant robin, a windstorm damaging the limb, nest theft by sparrows, and the orioles relocating and guarding their rebuilt home. Mr Oriole is praised for his vestments of orange vermilion and black.
A bizarre Paris scene features an enclosure where an elephant clashes with a newly introduced camel drawing attention and jealousy. A young camel’s display provokes the elephant, leading to a water trumpet strike that drenches a startled observer amid a crowded show. Nearby, discussions on hearing echoes from buried victims accompany unrelated debate on verification versus belief.
A Maine girl keeps a dignified cat named Judge and a spaniel called Nedalea. While she fishes, the pets sit on either side, entertaining her by watching the bob on the line. The cat resists dressing in doll clothes but enjoys the adventures with the dog during fishing trips.
Ned the cat and his dog companion learn fishing, luring chubs by disturbance on the lake surface then snatching them.

The pair’s antics include visiting elevators in a building and a tale of a mill labor decline in North Carolina.
Findings from recent circulars show apple trees damaged by the buffalo tree hopper when ground cover is allowed to grow.

A kerosene emulsion spray may destroy tender young hoppers when they emerge, but is not essential.
Simple hayrack instructions describe side sills of two by four inches by 14 feet for a common wagon or two by six inches for a low wagon. Attach four strips 1½ by 8 inches on bottom edge with half inch bolts. Ends use two pieces of one by four bolted to arms to allow hind wheels to pass, and three pieces form an arch over the hind wheels.
Bent in a half circle or two strips cut into an elongated circle form four inch strips with thin boards, to keep hay or grain from contact with wheels. Front guard fastened to side sills by a full length rod behind the front arm, rear stakes attached similarly. Logged note from R. Logan in Farm and Home.
State Commissioner Budd reports that prior to good roads farmers faced high transport costs, but new broad tread wagons now carry large loads to markets. Stone roads reduce intermediaries, lowering costs by 10 to 20 dollars per load, as freight and commission fees shrink and produce reaches grocers and consumers directly.
In a rural scene a group of boys plan corn planting while making scarecrows from tar and ashes to deter crows. The exchange highlights practical farming notes on currants and manure from Prairie Farmer, stressing soil, spacing five by four feet, cultivation, mulching, and disease control, with advice on small farms and labor efficiency.
Farmers' Voice argues for general use of wide tires on heavy wagons to reduce road damage. Narrow tires are blamed for deep ruts that roughen travel after rain. The piece claims wide tires lighten draft and improve road uniformity, urging adoption on country roads and urging no heavy wagons on soaked soils.
A Farmers’ Review correspondent argues against relying on birds to prevent orchard illness. He emphasizes spraying with Bordeaux mixture to stop fungus like apple leaf scab, noting birds cannot combat mildew or other diseases. Spraying is insurance. benefits may be unseen yet present, while certain tree species enhance shade around homes.
A letter from William Payne, written in Ste. Marie Michigan, May 1900, touts the Canadian Northwest for farming and ranching. He praises Manitoba routes to McLeod Regina and Prince Albert, noting rich crops, ample timber, and jobs with wages from 1.75 to 2.00 dollars daily. He urges families to relocate for five to ten years to build a home, offers to provide information, and cites favorable conditions around Prince Albert and Saskatoon for farming, lumber, and crafts.
