A Nervous Little Man plans a vast highway in bold strokes while workers carve a path through hill and rock. The poem follows the monumental effort, the mountain split, and a perilous flood where Marthy, Beatrice, and Mrs. Hagen are saved as a faithful slave girl prays, earning forgiveness for a lull in wakefulness.
In a Kansas prairie town Marthy watches over Beatrice while Mrs Hagen travels. A looming cyclone drives Marthy to protect the child, telling tales of danger as the storm rages. Beatrice clings to Marthy amid the destruction, with Marthy promising steadfast care.
A student from Bombay describes the horse in simple terms noting its nobility, anatomy such as neck and four legs, feeding mainly grasses and grains, and its use to carry people or cargo. He mentions chasing foes, sleep, and differing sizes with short and long variants. The piece ends with unrelated banter about McWhilligan and his family.
A historical discussion outlines fears from early Niagara Falls geology about erosion and Lake Erie’s reservoir. It covers James Hall's reassurance, predicted rapids from Lake Erie to Lewiston, and late 19th century tilting estimates. Projections suggest Michigan overflow within 1000 years, Niagara’s decline over 2500 years, and Erie’s basin linking to Lake Huron reversing Detroit and St Clair rivers.
A five year old Chinese girl, Yute Ho Ji, held as a prisoner for over four years, is saved from deportation after a judge rules she cannot be jailed. The infant, born to a mother who sold her for ten dollars in San Francisco, is placed with a mission aiding rescued Chinese women, where she becomes a cherished ward.
A reader notes that in China many women have only one toe usable for movement. The great toe remains free while the other toes are doubled under the foot during infancy and kept so by compresses and tight bandages, eventually merging with the sole.
The Chicago Daily News reports on a boastful tale where Hyker-D'Auber drew a hen that seemingly laid eggs on the table and another passerby drew a glass of beer that appeared real enough to be consumed. The anecdotes showcases sensational claims of uncanny realism and talent.
A writer in the Ohio Farmer outlines a memory based plan for a tiny plant house with a 16 inch high wall of posts and window sashes. The roof slopes steeply toward the house and a central walk allows an 80 foot excavated space with ample head room inside.
The author describes tight cotton cloth frames forming a cloth roof over a border and greenhouse end, using heat from a furnace to warm a miniature greenhouse. He argues hardy plants like onions lettuce and strawberries could be set out weeks earlier, with movable cloth roofs and occasional extra blankets for cold nights.
Leaves regulate water loss by sun exposure with sunlit leaves transpiring up to ten times more than shaded ones. Sunlight drives photosynthesis aiding cell building, so trees grow fuller in light. Planting trees with space around them ensures symmetrical branching and better shade trees. In the north temperate zone a tree receives sun from multiple directions through the day, promoting balanced development. The text notes removing borers from peach, apple, and quince trees if present.
The Cornell station surveyed Wayne county apple orchards to gauge area size, age, diseases, and practices. It found tilled soil yields better than sod, humus needed, spraying profitable, and spacing 2 to 2½ rods favorable. Drainage boosts vigor and reduces disease while tilage fertilization pruning spraying must balance for success.
Professor Garman at Kentucky station observed two night active tree crickets and a tune bug puncturing thin skinned fruits such as grapes peaches and plums. He suggests crickets are the main culprits causing the damage, not bees, easing earlier belief.
Ordinary budding methods fail on nut trees while ring budding shows the best results. The technique cuts a ring above and below the bud, removes a bark band, and replaces it with a matching piece from the stock. After securing with raffia, buds set as late in the season as possible before the bark tightens.
