Agricultural articles pertain to investigating Pear Blight in the Niagara region, a comparison on whether to harvest clover seed or use it as fodder, a critical view of the hog industry in Canada, microbiology in the home, and the usage of artificial incubation of chicks. There is also a biography of Dr. DeLaval the inventor of the cream separator. Printed in this issue is a short story by O. Henry. Also included is two travel memoirs, one of the Rothschild estate in England and the other a Macdonald College student's perspective of Guelph. In the editorial, President Creelman recommends that students spend a year farming before continuing their studies.
