This is an extremely elaborate inside joke.
A roommate—
baroncoon—has lucid dreams. Most of these lucid dreams follow storylines, sometimes for many years. A recent addition to the half-dozen or so existing storylines is based on My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic. His rendition of it is very faithful to the 1860s–1880s technology and society Lauren Faust envisioned in her original world-building, more faithful in fact than the series itself tends to be.
One of the artifacts that’s figured in several installments of these dreams is a magazine titled The Happy Mare’s Home Journal, a cross between a farmer’s almanac and a homemaker’s digest. When he described it to me, I simply had to cobble together a mock-up of how a typical issue’s cover might look. It was a delightful and hilarious exercise in period-style graphic design, and the article and column titles are taken from his recollection of the issue featured in his dreams.

I personally think this is one of the most awesome things I've ever seen. It really does look like a 19th century Farmer's Almanac!
And that one with the griffon's 'favorite delicacy'... I have this mental image of the pony explorer staring at the meat on his plate and wondering, "Just where did Red Shirt the earth pony get off to?"

Thanks for letting me know I made you laugh. And I hope we see more like this.
It's kind of amazing how this show is making people produce fannish material; I just finished the rough draft of a 130,000-word(!) fanfic novel about the ponies. A crossover, no less, and with Manly Wade Wellman's 'John the Balladeer'. My shame is complete!

Oh, goodness, the potential for punny names is endless! One thing I’ve noticed is that the writers reserve punny names for ponymade geographical features such as municipalities; natural features tend to have non-punny names. It’s a subtle and interesting distinction.
Thankee—I worked hard on it. And thanks for the favorite, too!
