Bannisters' Farm
Inside
Grab the rope from the bed rail, and the gun holster from the rack on the wall. Open the drawer in the desk and take the toy guns. Leave through the door to enter the kitchen. Talk to Stella about everything, then take the apple from the counter next to her. Also get the bellows from next to the fireplace, and the money from the drawer in the desk. Take your hat and head outside.
Outside
Look in the clothes basket on the ground, and take the sock. Get the bucket from next to the outhouse, and the log from nearby. In the open shed, get the saddle from the rail, and the rope and saw from the walls. Go over to your horse and place the saddle on its back. Get it to bite the apple, but it needs carrots in order to be ridden.
Use your bucket with the water pump, then use the pump to fill it with water. Get the bucket again, and use it on the crops. Repeat this a second time, and you should be able to collect 5 carrots. Feed these to the horse and ride to the Jones' Farm.
Alvin Jones' Farm
Talk to Joe and Alvin to get details on your quests. Now take money from both table drawers, as well as the top and bottom shelves of the closet by the wall. Also grab the lever from the fireplace. Head upstairs and pick up the basket, then move the ladder against the window. Try using the ladder, but you need your hat. In the side room, grab the money from the drawers. Go back downstairs and get your hat, then go upstairs and climb the ladder. Look at the rope and the pig/wheel, but you can't do anything here yet, so head back downstairs and outside.
Take the bucket from near the door, then talk to Alma. Use your log with the log holder next to the house, then cut it with the saw and get the two cut logs.
Bannisters' Farm
The most efficient way to sort out your carrot problem is to return here to The Bannisters' Farm and use the two buckets you have now collected and the water pump to produce 5 carrots at a time. Stock up to around 50 and you should never need to worry about carrots again.
School
Head straight into the school house to meet Rhiannon, and you will be beaten up. When you recover, search the children's desks to find a folding ruler, and the teacher's desk to get more money and a pen. Pick up your toy guns and hat, then go outside. Find another lever out the back, then talk to Annie, who is playing on the swing, to find out about Rhiannon, her dog Toby, and the Jones' pigsty.

Look around at everything, but don't buy yet - wait until you have more money. Talk to the shopkeeper to find out what you need to be able to purchase ammunition, dynamite and weapons to defend a farm. Buy all 3 of the newspapers and read them each twice to get hints and telegram numbers. You are almost out of money now, so head to the train station.
Train Station
Speak to the telegraphist through the little window and send telegrams to Aunt Filomena, The President, Edgar P Allan, Graduate Bull and Dr Hengelhoffer. If these options aren't all available, try reading your newspapers again. Don't bother sending one to Sam, he doesn't give you any money.
While you are waiting for return messages, head inside the train station. Pick up the specs from the table near the fireplace. Head out the back and pick up the log and fold-up wheelbarrow. Now go back and ask the telegraphist if you have anything waiting for you. Keep entering the building and coming out again until you get all 5 responses, 4 containing money and 1 containing a rhyme.

Use the Tyrolean harness on the rope, then use it again to slide down into the pigsty. Use a lever on the wheel to free it, then make sure you get your lever back (from the bottom right corner of the sty). Use your fold-up wheelbarrow on the wheel. While you are here, use the logholder in the backyard to hold your log while you saw it in half. Pick up both halves of the cut log. Use the wheelbarrow again to take the wheel to the accident site.
