From the Ipswich Tribune December 29, 1927 edition GROUND HOG DAY The idea of Ground Hog day seems to be of German origin. In Germany however, it was the badger that foretold the weather February 2.

But the belief that the weather on February 2 predicts warm or cold weather for six weeks to come dates back to the fifth century, when the festival of...

A hearse was followed by one small Ford in which sat a man driving and three small children, crying piteously. Through the crowded streets, the small cortege wended its way. Cars of all descriptions whizzed by it, filled with laughing, happy, troubled or care warn men and women, and few of them even glimpsed the tragedy of the hearse and its followers. A father and three small children going to bury the mother and going alone. Such a...

From the Ipswich Tribune March 8, 1928 edition Hens appreciate warm water during winter Since eggs are made up largely of water, it pays to keep plenty of clean water before hens at all times and experience has shown that the hens appreciate warm water, or at least water that is not ice cold.
