Cattle Feeding.

Most anininls eat in proportion to
their wciglit, under average conditions
of age, tcmpemture and f:llllt:.<S.

A good ,-:uidc for :1 safe quantity of
grain per day to maturing cattle is one
pound to t-.~:-_-ll liumlrcd of their weight;
thus an aniimil weigliing 1,000 may re-
ceive 10 pounds of griiin.

Never give rapid changes of food, but
change often.

Give faittuniiig cattle as much as
they will cut and often—five times a
day.

Every stall feeding in the fall will
make the winter pro_-_§ress more certain
by 30 per cent.

Give as much water and salt at all
times as they will take.

In iisiiig roots, it is one guide to give
just so much, in association with other
things, so that the animal may not take
any water. ‘

In buildings have warmth with com-
plete veiitilation, without currents, but
never under 40 nor over 70 degrees
Fahrenheit.

A cold, dump, nirgr temperature will
cause animals to coiisiiriic more food
without corresponding result in bone,
muscle,’ flesh or fat, much being used
to keep up the warmth.

Stall feeding is better for fat making
than box or yard management, irre-
spective of health. _

The growing animal. 1_Dt€nde_d for
beef, requires a. little exercise daily to
promote muscle and strength of consti-
tution, when ripe, only so much asto be
able to walk to market.

Curryiug daily is equal to 7 per cent.
of the increase.

THE SEASONS.

BY ANNIE WALL.

There's joy and beauty everywl.iere——-
The birds are singing glees;

The sweet-faced child is gathering flowers
Beneath the shading trees,

Her lap is filled with dewy buds;

She weaves a garland fair,

And, bending o'er the crystal brook,
She twines them in her hair.

And then her voice rings out in song,
So bird-like, sweet and clear,

And this the burden of her lay—
“I’m glad that spring is here.”

There’s peace and plenty everywhere-
The heart could ask no more-

And a bridal train is passing now,
VVithin the old church door.

The child who gathered flowers in spring
Is now a blushing bride,

And love has added grace to grace,
And she is beautified.

And listen to the marriage bells!

How peacefully they chime.’

”l'is a time of hope and joy and trust——
’Tis glorious summer time.

There's a mouruful tone in every sound—
The wind sighs sad and low, '
And in the darkened room a form
VValks sadly to and fro.

A woman's form that sadly walks,

And weeps with drooping head;

The bride, :1 widowed mother, now,
Stands weeping o’er her dead.

The bells are ringing now, again,

But mournfully they toll; '

’Tis autumn-mournful autumn tide-
The earl time of the soul.

There's a frosty stillness everywhere,
And in an old arm-chair

An aged, and care-worn one site,

With meek and patient air;

She talks of heaven, and seems to long
For the opening of its gates,

And thus child, bride and niourner
Serenely sits and waits.

She knows she soon will leave this world
For a. fairer, l appier clinic;

’Tis chill and drrary winter days.

The peztcczul waiting time.

What will be the Fence for the Future.
BY A. i».,y. VAN BL‘Rl~.‘N.

For what. -A. ere fences at first built?
Why did man first fence off his land 1‘
We answer, to protect his premises
from the d:-predalions of domestic ari-
imals. Now let. ea h farmer only fence
to enclose his stock in the pasture
range, and he will save much fencing
year after year. The months in which
the stock graze number only about six.
The other six months, they are in the
stalls or folds. As regards hogs, they
should be limited to the pen or the
range of a small field.

Vvhen the stock are turned out to
pasture in the spring, whatever the
size of the pasture may be, enclose
only a iortion of it. with a portable
fence; and when this is fed down, en-
close another frcsh por.ion and turn
the stock into that. Continue this
p=ocess _.lltll the first portion that was
grazed affords good feeding again,
when you can repeat the process as
often as you see fit. You see that this
plan keeps the stock safe, save.-5 flu
expense of building division fences on
the farm. alf0I".lS fresh grszing for the
stock the season through, and saves
additional acres of meadow for hay.
Now, if every f'9.i*mer would thus keep
his animals safely enclosed in a pas
lure, there would be no need of line
fences, and thus two thirds of the cost
of fencing; would be saved.

But how, without a line fence, could
you drive your cattle from the pasture
lo the banvyartl. How do they do it. in
a great; n..~any parts of Europe‘? By the
aid of shepherd dogs, the cattle are
trained to go back .'.tn::l forwards along
a narrow path leading between fields
of growing grain without doing any
injuiy to them. Cattle soon become
accustomed to follow the road or track
from the pasture to the barnyard.
But often the pasture is near the barn,
and should it be on the further end o
the farm, a cheap portable fence run-
ning parailel to the line fence could
form a lane leading to the ham or road
from the pasture lot. But what are we
to do with the sheep ? Fence in alarge
pasture for them.

The question often arises—“what
will be the coming fence ?” A
thoroughgoing farmer answers—“It
will be a portable fence, made of iron
posts with chains or wires running
from post to post The posts made so
as to be driven into the ground and
taken out readily. The coming
fence must be one that costs less than
the present rail and board fence. It
is said that the cost of the fences in the
United States, is more than the cost

And the material for
fences . increases in value more and
more each year. This fact alone has
aroused our farmers to investigate the
subject closely; and it has driven
many to assume the position that
every husbandman must take care of
his own stock. and thus do away with
line fences, and that we shall l enforce
the law against stock running l1l.l8I'g(.‘.
Such laws are now enforced in our cit-
ies, and large villages. As it would
save immensely more expense and
trouble in the country than in villages
aiidcities, they ought rigidly to be en-
forced there.

Why is not the hedge the m(:st
natural,’ cheap and serviceable fence
we can have. But to have a good
hedge fen’-e one must know how to
raise the hedge, and to take care of it.
An ignorance or neglect in this direc
tion is probably the i'e-ason why we
have so few fences of thlis kind.

V\'e may say that the barbed wire
f- nce is yet an experiment, even with
its most sanguine friends; while an-
other : lass deriounce it, as their cattle
and horses are so liable to be injured by
it. VVe know thatmanya fine and val-
uable horse has been rendered unsele-
able, if not unfit for use, by this fence.
Cattle also are often injured by it. It
is certain that sheep and hogs, especi-
ally when frightened, readily break
through the wires, as the wretched
condition Oi there fences in various
parts of the country testify. It is
claimed by those who use the barbed
wire fence, that the reason horses and
cattle get injured by it, is that they do
not see it t.ill they run against it.
Hence they advise placing a narrow
s;i'ip of board along the upper Wire.
each end attached to a post, that the
horses and cattle may see where the

Polalo Raising.

Gratiot county, Mich.
January 222, i885}. l

J. 7’. Cobb: As expercnce and ex-
periniént is asked in raising potatoes
I will give in brief my last year’s
trial.

I planted four varieties and with as
equal conditionsas pra.cticable. I found
the yield to be very nearly alike with
every variety. The varities were the
Snowflakes, Burbank, Seedings, Chi-
cago market and the White Star. Of
seed for each hill was planted one and
two eyes only. The hills being three
feet apart in the row either way.

The soil was sandy loam, rotted sod
lightly manured. The yield was about
two bushels per pound of seed. The
planting was done early, the cultivat-
ing as usual, twice over the ground.

Trichinae in Pork.

Ata meeting of the Canadian Insti-
tute in Toronto, Professor Ra-nsay
VVi'lght read a paper on l.l"lCllll)1l‘ in
pork. He said that the subject had
been suggested to him by reading in a
newspaper an account of the result of
the observations of Dr. ().-lerv in Mon-
treal in iefe rence to dlrl;8S€4.l pork.
It is claimed that Dr. Osler examined
three hundred carcasee 0! pigs at the
abattoir and found only one affected,
0' about one third per cent. This per
ceiitage Wm quite enough to cause-
serious discomfort to the lovers of that
particlar kind of flesh, and it has oc-
curred to him that he could give tlicm
some kind of con;-zolation by relating
to them tlieresult ofsome experiments
made in France as to the action of salt
in killing the ll‘l('l\il'U3. l’ro'cssoi'
Colin. of the Veterinary College of Al
fort, France, had made a series of
elaborate observations as to the resis-
tance of trichime to the action of salt
hi preserving pork. The experiments
were of two classes:—First upon ani-
mals infected with tiichinosis by be-
ing made to eat trichinized flesh, an .
in the second place on American pre-
parations of pork. Under the first
head a pig was affected by being
made to eat a. trichinized rat. The
flesh was then prepared in a pickle of
one part of salt to three of water, and
other parts were made into sausage
salted with from two to five ‘per cent.
of salt to the flesh. After 8, 10, 12
days the flesh pickled had living
trichinec. After 15 days’ pickling the
trichinze were dead for 1 inch deep
from the surface, and at the end of the
two months all the trichinee were dead.
By mixing salt with the flesn directly
as is done with sausages, to the extent
of two per cent, no living trichinae
could be discoyered at the end of the
second week. A larger percentage of
salt acted much more quickly. In the
American pork seized in Paris as af-
fected none of the trichinae were-living,
thus proving that properly prepared
flesh of the pig is safe eating. The

cysts of the dead trichinw were quite

plain and well marked off. He might
observe that in large pieces of pork,
which did not salt so readily, in sum-
mer the trichinic were not dead in the
deeper parts till six weeks.

Silk cocoons and Mulberries.

En GREEN’S FRUIT (;‘iu)\v‘iaa :-As
the subject of silk culLur.- is receiving
considerable attention in the United
States, and the qualities of the various
mulberry trees are being discussed a
few items may prove iiitere.-ling. I
live about 20 Illilefl from a colony of
Russian Mennonite-s—a class of Rus«
sian citizens who formerly resided in
Germany. Their religious convictions
were such that they could not serve in
the army. About Hie year 1800 t .e
Geiman government insisted that hey
serve or leave the Country. The Czar
of Russia then offered them a tract of
land in his country, and offered to ex-
empt them from military duty. They
accepted his « fl’:-r and have coutiniied
to reside in Rmsia from that time un-
til until they came here some seven
years ago. The Russiari Mul'~ei'ry
was introduced into their colonies in
Russia by the Russian gnverixnient for
the purpose of silk culture audto facili-
tate rain fall. They were compelled
to buy these treesof tne govern mena—
eacli land holder must plant a certain
number. After cultivating them until
they learned thcir value, they volun-
tarily plmted them very extensively,
and learned that silk culture was not
the only consideration, for the timber
was v iy valuable for fence posts. It
was also found very profitable for cab-
inet work and was considered one of
the most desirable trees for fuel. It
bore also edible. fruit which was
marketable in Russia. When the
Mennonites came to this country they
brought the seed of this tree with them.
They also brought the seed of several
other trees but planted these more ex
tensively than all others combined.
V\'e believe that several of the-o trees
will prove valuable to nurserymeii and
fruit growers in this country. The

{ueeiau Mulberry is a very rapid
giowcr. Trees, the seed of which
were planted by the Mennonites. are
now 20 feet high and large enough for
fence posts. They grow very large
and hear abundant crops of fruit. This
frsiit resembles blackberries. A large
per cent, are 3. :et black and the bal-
ance a reddish white. They vary in
flavor from sub acid to sweet. \Vhen
mixed with something tart and made
into desert they are frequently mis-
taken for ra.-pl»:-rric=s. The habit and
growth of these l'.l'('l‘t':sl is like that of the
apple. Many of the leaves are lobed
or cut with from 5 to 12 lobes. The
Mennonites also use it as an ornamen-
tal hedge plant and it makes a beauti-
ful hedge, standing sli- aring as well
a any tree. In the estimation of some
nurserymeu this is the only tree suf-
ficierztly l".8.I'll_\_’ to be valuable for silk
purpose:-n north of the ~ll)'li parallel of
north latitude. The Meiiiiouiles have
interested themselves in the silk busi-
ness to some extent, and have cocoons
for sale.

A New Building Material.

The terra cotta lumber mill, on the
Raritan river, near Perth Amboy ,was
visited by as party of builders and ar
cliitects from New York recently, who
were apparently satisfiecl of the useful-
ness of that materal. (J. C. Gilman,
of Inoiana, the inventor, is president
of the company. The lumber is made
by mixing the ka-. linite or “top” clay,
which is found in immense quantities
tlirougliout Middlcsex county, with
sawdust. until the consistency of dough
isobiained, when it is cast in large
square blocks and burned in kilns, in
a manner siinilar to that of ordinary
brick. The result is a peculiar terra
eotta ware possessing peculiar prop-
erties. It has no fibrous texture like
wood, the strength of the material
arising from incipient vitrifactiou.
obtained . in firing, and half-incl‘.
boards made til" it, smoothly planed
and joined, show greater strength and
tenacity than dry oak of equal thick-
ness. Every shape which can be giv-
en to ‘yood by edged loolscaii begiuen
to lcrra cotta lumber. It is easily
worked as pine-.1 or spruce, is half the
weight of building brick and tightly
retains plastering without the aid of
lathing. '1‘o display the resistant
qualities of tarra cotta lumber to fire
and water, the furnace tender. with a
long pair of steel tongs, took from the
centre of the furnace at small block of
the were which had attained a white
heat and plunged it into a pail of wa
ter. After cooling it was placed on a
forge, and the water with which it was
saturated expelled in the form of steam;
petroleum was next poured over it and
afterward. ignited, the block oontinu
ing to burn with asteady flame for
several minutes. Subsequent exauiin-'
ation of the block by sawing it in two
showed no difference in appearance
from other material which had not
been submitted to so severe as test.

The roofof Columbia College is to
be constructed of the new material,
and the company have an order to
supply 12,000 tons of it to Jose. F.

houses now in course of erection by
him at Fifty-eighth and Fifty"-ninth

Poultry Talks No. 2.

The correspondents of the Poultry
Bulletin are wrestling with the query
why farmers don‘t breed fancy fowls
for salein connection with the market
poultry business; why the $25.00 cock-
erels and  per-dozen eggs are all from
the city fan ciers.

It strikes the writer that farmers do
their share of this fancy business, and
iftliey don’t, the city fanciers should
be the last ones to complain.

There are few ‘neighborhoods where
some farmers do not make a specialty
of the sale of thoroughbred r-:locli—--

some horses, others cattle, sheep, ll(,lg.*«l_
To make a specialty of

or poultry.
the sale of thoroughbred stock (poul-
try included) takes expensive stock,
monopolizes time, requires capilal for
advertising, exhibiting at f2lll‘.~4, rail»
road travel, and the proprietor must
keep his pocket-book out all the time
an e sure there is money inside it.
Because some city fanciers find fancy
poultry a profitable business and pleas
ant recreation, every farmer, be-can.-c
he keeps fowls, does not care to en
gage in it. The most of the fancy
poultry business naturally falls to
thosenear the center of trade, wliils»
some farmer should surply his neigli
borhood with his specialty of fancy
fowls.

The fancier’s idea of a breeding pen,
lioweve-.., is one tliut. every farmer
might appropriate to his own advant-
age, without fear of being called a
fancy fellow. Almost every farmer
has tlifferent breeds of lll0l‘0llgllllI('(lH.

for the statement that liens should be

Blindfolding Horses.

A family h0l"St of man, caresses and
favors. concluded lastsuinmer that.-"lee
would work when she felt like it.
Wlieu she did not feel like it, strings
were tied around her ears, sand put in
her mouth, oats held teinptingly before
her, and a twenty-five cent carriage
whip shook menacingly about her, but
no avail, and the habit continually
gre\v'woree. In a time of great per-

lcxity to get some millet into the
harm before an approaching shower.
Work \3l1:lf' to a st indetill, and the load
of hay stood wittiit. I thought of a
“hliml:*r," and taking 9. heavy woolen
cloth about twelve inches square, tied
a cord to each corner, and drawing it
closely over her eyes, secured the four
corners to the bridle. The cure was
uagical. I left it on all day, and no
more trouble ensued. The little hood
was rolled up in as small a compass as
possible, and tied to the harness; and
when “Kit” is disposed to rest too fre
quently, it is quickly put in place, and
the “work goes on.” Soon she came
to know what it was for. and if she
thought preparations were being niaflc
to adorn her, she would draw, and for
weeks has labored faithfully without
it.

THIS year may be set down as the
great cotton year.‘ The indicatir us
are that the yield will reach an aggre-
gate of 6,700,000 bales.

EMIGRATION AGENCY. A

On the 9th inst, we received the follow-
ing:

TAKE :vo'rIi:E.

Orders for emigrants must not be sent
to the English Emigration Agency at
Cedar Springs until further notice. It is
also requested that no person will delay
hiring help in expectation of arrival of
emigrants. A report has been sent to
every patron of the agency. and this
notice is published as additional precau-
tion to insure the circulation of the news.

B. J. Ztnznivsiiz.

Liverpool, England, Jan. 2'2, 1853.

With this was a letter from Mr. Zud-
zense setting forth that a determined ef-
fort had been put forth by English ofli-
cials to deter the class of emigrants
sought for by Mr. Zudzense from com-
ing to this country. ’J.‘hat the means
used were representations that employ-
ment would not be found and their con-
dition would not be improved.

He further charges as follows: “Our
minister to England——Lo\vell——notw1th-
standing the papers and references I
had from prominent citizens of the
United Statefi and England, has gone
back on the plan of engaging euiigrauts
to come to Michigan and indirectly has
helped my opponents to CB.StFll1l‘S on the
State and its citizens. Hundreds that
stood ready to come are now afraid to
venture from the doubt of not being
able to obtain employment at living
rates. which doubt has been thrown in
their way by officials high in authority."

We regret the unfortunate turn this
business has taken, for if one thing is
more true than other, it is that the sup-

' plv of indoor help has not for the last

fifteen years been equal to the demand.
It is not at the present time, and we see
110 prospect of the demand being fully
met for year to come. Now with this con-
dition of things as a. patent undisputed
(me, the question of fair compensation
is settled by an inflexible law. The
people of Michigan are able to buy and
willing to p_ay for indoor help, and with
half the families in the country it is the
ever present question, where can we get
‘a good reliable girl to do housework ?
Men are not so much wanted, for poor
help on the farm is more tolerablethan

poor or no help in the T10399-

CHURCH, GRAND RAPIDS.

INSUTUTES.

Farmers’ Institutes for farmers have
become a fixed fact; a part of the winter
historyof Michigan farmers. These ed-
ucational meetings have come to be rec-
ognized as of such value that the half
dozen authorized by t‘---- State Board of
Agriculture to be held l . sue State each
winter have found it -vulvirs in many
counties. Institutes :m- --rganized by
farmers and conducted ‘-\ Farmers with
credit and profit to all who participate.

But we took our pen to write of the
Institute held at Galesburg. Kalamazoo
county, on the 7th and 8th instant, un-
der the auspices of the Husbaudman’s
Club of Kalamazoo county, in conjunc-
tion with one of the Institutes regularly
appointed by the State Board of Agri-
culture.

The address of welcome by Win. A.
Blake, 8 large farmer near Galesburg,
and the response by President Dell were
both appropriate and not without good
practical suggestions.

The firsi: paper by H. Marhofl" on
“Farm Implements and their Care," was
full of concise suggestions that if re-
garded by those who listened, will tend
to discourage manufacturers, as the im-
plements we have will last so much
longer that their sales will be less.

After a dinner generously provided by
the citizens, the church where the In-
stitute was held u'~.A.~: fil‘ed, to listen to
the reading of it piper by Frank S.
Kedzie, assistant professor of Chemistry
at the Agricultiiraf College. His sub-
ject “The National Sugar Bowl” treated
asubject with which farmers are not
familiar. and covered the raising of
sorghum and converting it into syrup
and sugar. The importance of the sub-
ject wiis establizzncd in his first state-
ment. That the American people eat
more sweet per ciipita than any other
people in the world. Fifty pounds each
per auuum, and but one-third of the
amount produced in this country. We
need not add that with these statements
before us this question of sugar pro-
duction is second to no other in the
range of production that interests the
farmers of this country.

The Professor informed us that two
companies, one at Ciiampaign. Ill., and
one at Rio Grand, N. J.. had ‘carried the
cultivation of cane and manufacture of
sugar to the point of demonstrating two
things: First~s_yrup and sugar of excel-
lent quality can be made of sorghum,
and secondly, they can be produced at a
profit.

The Rio. Grand company on a capital
of $30,000 paid a dividend of eight per
cent and still had a surplus profit of $3,-
000. This company will Lncrease its cap-
ital to 850.000 and will this year plant
2,000 acres of sorghum.

The Professor exhibited samples, of
sugar from Champagne. Ill. The best sold
at eight cents per pound and though
not as white as coffee A. was nearly so.
The prccess of mzmufscture was describ-
ed and is not intricate.

The question, Can iudivid aal farmers
cultivate sorghum and make sugar prof-
itably? seems to be settled in the neg-
ative; cooperation is necessary. The in-
dividual farmer cannot afford to have a
threshing machine or u grist mill. But
be rises grain all the same and eats bread
from patent flour. So we can and shall
raise sorghum and eat sugar manufac
tured near us by a patent process.

The professor gave in detail the exper
tmeuts at the Agricultural College the‘
last season. Summed, up, without the
necessary machinery and prosecuted
as an experiment, syrup was produced of
good quality at a cost of 30 cents a gal-
lon and sugar of fair quality.

We glean from the professor’s paper
and talk this additional information. In
1881 Kansas had 45,628 acres of sorghum,
worth $34 per acre, and in 1882, 68,000
acres, worth $37 per acra—the profit is
reported at $9 per acre on an average
yield of 90 gallons of syrup—land does
not require inauuring to produce sor-
ghum——the land occupied by the New
Jersey Company are sandy plains— the
cane has the most sachlsrinc matter when
the seed is ripe enough to grow, and
syrup and sugar are of better quality
when made from well mat ired cane-
only about 65 per cent of the kacharinw
matter in the stalk is obtained by the
best machinery now in use——b_y proper
treatment vinegar can be made from
the baggisse—-coarse paper 15 also pro-
duced, 9. sample of which was shown.
Experiments show the sorghum of the
north has about three-fourths as much
saccharine matter as southern cane.
The cane of the south reqiiire< it full
year to grow and manufaotiire. The
sugar business with sorghum is all dis-
posed of and the crop on the market in
six months. Twenty-five years of ex-
perimenting were required to bring the
business of manufacturing cane sugar
to 9. paying point. We hardly think
that length of time will be necessary to
establish permanently and profitably
this new line of sugar production.

From all this it would seem that this
industry notwithstanding the negative la-
bor and influence of Commissioner Lor-
mg. isjlikely soon to have an important
place in the statistics of productions in
this country.

The next paper. “Hogs, how to handle
them,” by B. G. Buell, was listened to
with marked attention. The essayist
asserted that the porcine product found
a larger field for a market than any other
meat. This fact established its import-
ance. The improved hog is a civilized

animal, and the highest type is in a

marketable condition at all ages. Pigs
should not be fed largely on corn.
Economy in management requires clover
through the season, and some early corn
ripe enough to feed by the middle of Au-
gust. When glazed, corn is profitable to
feed hogs.' stalk and all. If a farmer has
quite a stock of hogs, fence ofi' a small
piece of corn and let the hogs do their
own harvesting; when fed from the baa
ket. feed early and often.

When in good clover do not feed corn.
The advantage which cheap clover feed j
affords, is partially lost if corn is fed at 
the same time. 

Mr. B. prefers the Poland China. This E
breed fattens at any age; will becomel
large; is quiet and industrious in its ’
habits. Prefers black hogs, as they will [
carry a smooth skin through all kinds of
weather. Early pigs would market at
eight or ten months old. Late pigs carry
over, and make heavy by good feeding.
Has found the early market generally
the best.

To avoid disease, knows only care and
attention to the health of this stock.
Would not closely confine his hogs, par-
ticularly breeding animals. Thinks
charcoal, ssiies and salt are good and are 5
all preventives. Has two or three
patches of artichokos which the hogs
harvest for themselves. Thut crop he
looks upon with favor. Nothing in the
way of preventatives will always secure
exemption from diseases to which hogs
are liable.

Mr. Buell always keeps from 100 to 200
hogs and has seldom lost any by disease.
His opinion was asked as to the relative
profit of selling hogs or pork. He
thought generally selling hogs gave him
the best returns. With corn at 50 cents
dressed pork should bring 5 cents. With
good hogs, a. bushel of corn, green or
dry, should make ten pounds of pork.
Mr. B. does not ring his hogs without
they beceme very unruly. Does not at-
tempt to raise but one litter in a year.

Many of these opinions were drawn
from Mr. Buoll by enquiries after his
paper was read. In the discussion that
followed the prevailing opinion was that
fat hogs shrink one-fifth in dressing,
though several instances were narrated
where the shrinkage was lcss——as low
as one-seventh in one instance.

Hoes will eat clover hay in the winter
and it was stated by one gentleman that
steamed clover hay would winter hogs
well. Why not, if green clover is the
best of hog feed?

The sales of hogs last year in Chicago
amounted to more than all other kinds
of stock together.

In answer to sundry questions we
made note as follows:

What will kill Balm of Gilead sprouts?
Salt or strong lye.

What is the best protection for keep-
ing implements bright when not in use ?
One said linseed oil; another crude pe-
troleum; another, lard cut with alcohol;
another tnllow. Now take your choice.

In answer to an enquiry which is the
best corn cultivator. the Gotham, and
First and Bradley were endorsed. Mr.
Lawrence described a new implement
called the Cnicago screw pulverizer. It
is expensive. costing some $200, but it
does fast and effectual work. This ma-
chine was drawn over 40 acres of clover
sod three times in six days. pulverizing
the soil completely, leaving it in good
condition for planting. Six horses are
required to draw the machine. The
depth of cutting is under control and the
machine carries a hopper with gear for
broadcast sowing. As it is used in sec-
tions for cultivating corn, it seems to
combine in one, the plow. the barrow
and the cultivator.

We nave not the time to further com-
pile our notes of the Institute for this
number of the VISITOR.

THE RAILROADS AND THE PUBLIC.

During the freight handlers’ strike
last summer in New York City, the move-
ment of freights on the Erie and New
York Central was almost stopped, result-
ing in great damage to the shippers
whose goods the companies had under-
taken to transport. [t seems that the
wages of employee were not satisfactory v
and a general strike was made for ,'
three cents mi hour additional pay. The l
companies refused to make the COIICC-S~ ‘-
sion and attempted to employ other i
hands. The wages paid did not com-
mand eflicient competent workmen and
business was almost at a stand still. The
shippers finally applied to the courts
for the writ of mandamus to compel the
railways to receive and transport freight.
Judge Height declined to grant the
writ on the ground that ‘the neglect or
refusal of a railroad corporation to re-
ceive aud transport freight tendered to
it by citizens of the State is a private
wrong. but not such a public wrong as
will authorize the ‘lES111Dg of the writ of
mandamus.” It was also held that the
remedy of the citizen for the private
wrong was complete in his right to com-
mence a suit at law for the recovery of
damages.

This decision was not only absurd, but
it was dangerous, because it struck at
the root of all railroad reform. An ap-
peal was made to the supreme court and
J udge Davis made 9. decision reversing
that of the lower court. The full text
is published in the VISITOR of the 1st
inst.. and it is worthy of study as a clear
statement of the law governing the obli-
gations of railroads to the public.

‘.[‘he~ decisions of the higher courts
have been more pointed and direct on

this subject from year to year. The au-

. ganized robbery of the people.

§E ‘E 

fhorities are quite unaniinoiis that rail-
roads are public highways and that the
primary purpose of operating them is to
confer a benefit upon the public. The
corporations possess the right of emi-
nent domain and they also have all the
responsibilities attending that right.
The legislature has no constitutional
right to take the property of an individ-
ual and bestow it upon a corporation for
the sole benefit of the latter. but it must
be strictly for the public benefit. The
law as declared by the courts is all right
but the great difficulty is to secure an
enforcement.

It is well known that railroads in this
country are not usually operated for the
benefitof the public but solely for the
enrichment of a few daring speculators.
The traffic of the whole country is al-
most at the mercy of unscrupulous
schemers who care nothing whatever for
the public good and who have accumu-
lated fortunes that are a disgrace to our
civilization. Is it not a fact that such
fortunes as those of Vanderbilt and
Gould cannot be accumulated fairlv
but must, in the main, represent an or-
\Vc en-
tertain no socialistic views about wealth,
but we know that the great fortunes of
the so-called railroad kings are indica-
tions of a wrong system and they are
omens of disaster to the people. These
men can commit no greater mistake
than to continue by the schemes which
they develope, and by the wrongs which
they inflict to alienate the great body
of the people.

THE NORTH AMERICAN REVIEW.

The Norlh American for_February
presents a table of con-ents ' f unusual
interest. The sy.-tein of discussion
called the syinposium has become :5.
favorite feature of this favorite period-
ical. The literal meaning of sympo-
sium is, a fegst. It is very properly
applied to a series of articles on the
same topic or question, written by
those who are supposed to be standard
authorities upon the subject under dis-
cussion. Each writer expresses his
views independently of the others and
the articles are grouped under one
title. In a literary way this method
has its disadviintages. No group of
short aiuicles on any subject compare
favorably in literary merit with the
finished and elax.-crate essays forming
the substance of the British and Scotcli
quarterlies. As a praciical means of
instruction to the hurried readers,
however, the symposium method is
unsurpassed. It is, in fact, an exten-
sion of the peculi.-.-.r siyle and methods
of the modern daily press to a. wide
range of high-rr and more important
topics.

The North American was formerly a
quarterly of’ the ponderous type. It
appeared once in three months, and
was filled with weighty an I elaboraae
essays on the most abstruse subjects. A
considerable 4-hangs was made when
the interval ofpublicstion was changed
to two months. It has now developed
into a monthly publication and the
topics are almost as fresh as if selected
on the day of its date.

The first number in the l<‘ebruai_y
table of contents is 2. symposium on
“The Revision of Creeds,” being a
continuation of the same subject from
the January number. The articles are
signed by the following six noted
names, all Reverend Doctors, viz:
Henry C. Potter, Howard Crosby, J‘.
B. Thomas, J. O. Peck, G. F. Krotel
and T. W. Chambers. The points
more particularly discussed are the
Inspiration of ‘the Scripture, the
Atonement, and Future Punish bent.
All the writers agree in substance that
creeds have not the essential impor-
tance attached to them by the Chris

thin church in earlier centuries and
that revision is now unnecessary and
impracticable. “The Experiment of
Uuive-rsal Suffrage” is from the brain
and pen of Alexander Winchell, a
Professor of Geology and Botany in the
University of Michigan. This is a
most remarkable essay. The profes

so‘ takes the ground that the right of
suffrage has been extended too far. The
ideas seem like the echoes ofa century
ago. Th.“ writer is wholly inflii;-bee-l
by current opinion and thought, T-.\
i.ini itis a glaring absurdity to permit
the poor, _the ignorau. and the
vicious to vote. In his view the
“masses” have but~ ne function that
is to be governed and controlled by
their betlers—by wise and virtuous
men, who know what is for their good
better that they themselves know it

He says, “Absolute political control
should not be exercised by the masses.
Persons not possessing the highest
qualifications of intelligence and vir-
tue should for their own sakes, for the
best protection of their own lives and
property, and for producing the best
conditions of individual prosperity
and happiness, seek to lodge political
influence in the wisest and safest
hands; as every passenger on the
ocean steamer refrains from interpos-

ing his own counsel, and gladly rele-
gstes command to the best captain and
best engineer to be had.”

These are certainly not modern nu-
tions. Sucn expressions are as strange
and unfamiliar to us as if read from a
book a century old. The modem
theorist writes for the eastern press
and tends to the other extreme. He
insists on giving the ballot to every
human being, without regard to color,

rar-e,or previous condition of servitude.
He would like to invite theChinu.m~i«-

office. On the whole we think the
professor's ideas are more reasonable
than the other extreme. But no
matter which is the better way, the
people have the ballot, and they will
not consent to any restriction.

“The D.-.5‘ of Protestantism” is
written by the Right Rev. B. J. Mc-
Quaid, D. D., Bishop of Rochester.
'l‘be weak places of Protestantism, as
they appear to Roman Catholic eyes,
are pointed out and exposed without
mercy. Many of the things said are
unplcasantly true.

“The Political Situation” is a sym-
phosisin by Horatio Seymour and
George S. Boufwell i\Ir. Seymour
writes an interesting pliiloz-iopllioal
essay on the theory of State ai :1 inc
tioiiul governments. He lieiievss that
the American people must always ie
naturally divided into two parties.
The one will lean towards Slate rights
and oppose concentration of power in
the central government. The other
will favor a strong government at the
expense of many of the reserved
rights of the States. lither view car-
ried too far will produce mischief, the
first leading; to anarchy and secession
and the second to corruption in the ad-
ministration of government. Mr.
Boutwell thinks “the great error of
the republican party, an error whose
fruits have not yet been gathered, was
in its neglect to revise the tariffand
revenue systems when the country was
restored to prosperity.”

“’l‘lie Standard Oil Company" is an
extremely instructive article on a sub-
ji ct of vital interest. The moupoly is
explained and de ended by Senator J.
N. (Jauinen, while the opposite view is
developed by John C. Welsh. Senator
Camden gives much valiiable informa-
t‘on as to the extent and magnitude of
the business. We would like to quote
at length, had we sufficient space.
The Standard Oil Company ls one of
the most elficient and perfectly organ-

age. The whole problem ofoil storage
and transportation seems to have
been fully solved by this wonderful
company. VVhen it started, the ope-
rations in oil were in great confusion
and vast quantitiisof oil were allowed
to soak back into the earth or float
away on the streams. Yet these facts
are no answer to the general feeling
ofcomplaint and apprehension as to
the monopoly. It is well understood
that the power of this monopoly is
almost absolute. and any monopoly is
dangerous when it controls one of the
prime necessities of life We would
recommend to all our readeis who can
to read these two articles on the Stan-
dard Oil Company.

MEXICAN RAILWAY GRANTS.

The Mexican Government has adopt-
ed the American policy of granting sub-
sidies for the purpose of encouraging
the construction of railways Several
important roads have been built under
these concessions by American capital.
Jay Gould. General Grant and other
prominent Americans are said to be
deeply interested in these enterprises.
These grants have been extremely libe-
ral, amounting, in thp case of the Mexi-
can Central, to about 815,000 per mile.
The total cost per mile is estimated at
819,500, thus leaving about $4,500 per
mile, or less than one-fourth, to be furn-
ished by the investors. These subsidies
have been granted under conditions re-
sembling in general the conditions so-
companying such grants in this coimtry.

In the United States the companies
receiving government aid have frequent-
ly failed to fulfill the conditions under
which the grants have been made. It
has in all cases been expressly stated in
the law that any failure on the part of
the grantees would cause 8. forfeiture of
the grant. The prime object of making
any grants at all has been to secure the
very things named in the law as condi-
tions, yet when the grantees have failed
on their part our government has been
unable to resist the power and money
of the companies and no forfeit-
urcs lnive ever been declared. in
Mexico, however, the policy of
the govsrncu-ant is v-'.=.r_v .lill'-srent. The
American czipioiiii-its engaged in con-
structing what is called the Moxie-.in
National railway have been accustomed
to suppose that conditions attached to
ugrant were merely matters of form.
Their line was one of the most import-
ant in Mexico, but they conducted the
enterprise just as if they were at home
and did not even approximate to the
fulfillment of their contract. They were
months behind the time specified. and
the conditions generally were almost
wholly ignored. The Mexican execu-
tive. in pursuance of the strict terms of
the contract, declared the entire grant
forfeited and took possession of the
road. It is curious to mark the aston-
ishment of the capitalists at this unex-
pected claim by the government of those
things which were merely its just due.
General Grant at once besought Sec-
rotary Freliughuysen and the President
to interpose their ofiicial influence to
change the matter. These ofiicials were
obliged to take the ground that it was a
matter of private contract between our
citizens and the Mexican government,
and as there was no pretense that the
citizens had fulfilled on their part. orthat
the government had violated the terms

years been setting forth the important
fact that this agricultural state in the
long period of forty-five years as had
but four representatives from the agri-
cultural class out of one hundred men
who have been her Governors and her
representatives and senators in the
National Congress. Permit us to re-
mind the farmers who are to (lay in
the Legislature of the State, tli-at this
is a favorable thus for them to present
lhe claim of this class to recognition,
and insist that from this class some
gentleman be selected to represent
this State in the Senate of the (lulled
States. Brother farmers of the Legis-
la!.l!l'8 is not this a ieusonable request.

FARMERS usually buy a few garden
seeds in the Spring. Some of them are
planted, cared for and with other favor-
able conditions bring abundant reward

the faithful cultivator. Butall of the
other favorable conditions are often
neutralized by the purchase of poor
seed. ln our advertising columns’ two
brother Grsngers have given general
notice that they have for sale fresh re-
liable seeds at a fair price. We advise
members to make up orders in season
and send through your Secretary for
what you want. Begin early to make a
memorandum of what you need, and
when all are sure that they have ordered
what they want, send the order to one
of these pioneer seed growers of this
State. We think you will get good seed.
These brothers can't afford to beat their
customers while their business is in its
infancy, if they intend to later.

The Highway Stock Nuisance.

Bro. Uobb.-—I have been a reader of
the VISITOR for two years. and have no
recollection of ever seeing any article
in its columns from a member of this
Grange, Decatur, No. 346. We noticed
our standing duly and favorably re-
ported in the VISITOR. and we can fur-
ther assure you that we are neither dead
or sleeping. I thought a communica-
tion from a Decatur Granger would be
entitled to a place in your columns for
novelty. though it should lack merit.

A paper has just been handed me by
a brother for my signature, the sub-
stance of which is. that next spring we
open or remove our fences along the
highways and give public notice that
any stock found trespassing upon our
grounds will be impounded and held for
damages. The wonder is that in this
old-settled community such a state of
things exists to necessitate such a no-
tice. Some may say. and may be you.
Mr. Editor, that this question is too an-
cient, the law is plain, why tax our time
in discussion, as the ground has all been
gone over repeatedly? Yes, but the

average memory is poor, and where the
usage prevails and opinions differ, then
let us reason together.

In 1868 our Legislature passed a law
to apply the case in the older settled
counties, the three southern tiers We
think. But that is immaterial anyway for
they rendered it nugatory by the local
option clause, or provision that the)’ af-
fixed giving the board of ‘supervisors in
each county power to ratify or annul
which appears to be characteristic of
many of our statiites, fluffletl with the
seeming intent of inviting litigation. ; for
dis well known that l<>iig pzior to this

_ the common law as interpreted by the

That any stock allows.-i.
luv the owner to run or pasture
upon another man’s land said owner
was liwble for trespass and damages.
Coinuion law is only an application of
common sense, and it reasons like this:
If you buy a piece of land out.-:ide the
limits of a city or village and a road runs
alongside, you buy to ceiitre of road. if
a road runs through your place you buy
all of roadway, and in both cases you are
assessed and pay taxes annually there-
on, and if there is any feed or substance
on the few rods in width that you are to
keep in reserve for the public to travel
over, it belongs to the owner of the
ground. the one who pays the yearly tax
upon it It cannot consistently belon,-2_
to anyone else. V

Farmers who make a specialty of
grains and grasses, fruit culture. ctc..
keep no stock, why compel them to in-
cur so great an expense for fences? But.
the arguments against this nuisance are
too numerous to tliinl-; of mentioning
them all in this article. There is the ever-
lasting highway cow for our truck patch,
the small pig for our young corn, and
worst of all the fruitful scalawag males
that are liable to copulate with our
thoronghbreds. "I'he.-'(=- with many otlii l‘
noxious features we might name, 
no means of grace, or conducive to
‘orotherly love.

L will sustain my assertion that the
statute reft-ri't-ll to above invites litiga-
tion from theiimportant suit in Cass
county, something over a year ago.
Woodmansc-9 vs. Goodspced. The solons,

courts held.

.'(Si1pcrvi'r-'ors)of Cass county had just

said that cattle were free commoners,
others thought difi"erently, hence the
suit. Plaintiff himself a lawyer thought
to make the point that defendent
had no right to impound. Appealed
from justice to circuit court. Judge
Smith charged the jury to find for de-
fendent.

Now the opening of road fence is only
a step to make the law operative, for to
their credit, those who turn stock into
highways, do so on the presumption
that their neighbors’ crops are secured
by fence, and having in mind the cus-
tom that has so long obtained And so
long as we keep up the road 561106 it
seems to give tacit consent to have the
nuisance perpetuated.

hope, and still no criticisms appear

Clla;-‘E:-net]_1,” What are the principles
of on. Order ? Are they not to elevate
the fnrlner to a truer manhood, a
higher and nobler being? If so, I
think that the Order is a politic?-1 fail-
ure, as far as our represent!!!-iV€S are
concerned. It is a shame that they
have no regard for the Order. We all
know that there are good and suitable
men of either party stripe. 01‘ it might
be better to take up a man like Bro.
T. F. Moore, who when interviewed by
republicans if he would accept the nom-
ination for Congressman, said, if elect-
ed, he would vote for the best interests
of his constituents, regardless of party
lines. Being interviewed pn the same
subject by the democrats, he gave the

\

same reply. Now, if he would suit
either paity, why not both, and have
an independent Senator who would
vote upon the merits of the question,
instead of party hobbies. I think
Judge Davis, United States Senator
from Illinois, is gaining the respect of
the masses, and we are sure an inde-
pendent Senator from Michigan would
receive a warm welcome from him.

Again can any one of those 28
Grangers return amo g the fraternity
and truly receive that welcome
plaudit, “Well done, good and faith-
ful servant.” We must adhere to the
principles of the Order ourselves if We
Wish to gain the respect of others.
Some may excuse themselves because
they were instructed to do so and so.
ls that any reason why they should
still hang like a bull dog beyond
sense and reason. Mr. ‘erry is not
the only man that is capable of filling
that office; neither is Mr. Palmer of
Detroit.

Come, Grangers, don't belittle your-
selves and disgrace the Order of Pa-
trons of Husbandry any longer. Vote
independently, as you will wish you
had done when you again assemble in
your home circle and with your re-
spcctivc Granges. Political rings
shou.d no‘. only be denounced, but
scorned by all true Patrons. One of
the Grange principles is that the office
should seek the man and not the man
ilie office, which is not the ca-9 in this
contest. "

Hon. J. J. Woodman, a Worthy
brother of our Order, would also be a
good candidate, presume bar’l and
perquisites are less, but honor more.

Paw Paw Grange No. 10.

Bro Cobb.-——I read in the Visirr:-R
what many of the Granges in the State
are doing for themselves, the Order and
the public. I cannot remember when I
have seen anything from Paw Paw
Grange, No 1.0, one of the first organized,
10 years ago. It has had its ups and
downs. its excitements and quiets, and
its full attendance and light,bnt notwith-
standing the various degrees it has pass-
ed through, it never has ceased its work,

for the “immortal few” have ever been _

found true and active. But a new era has
of late dawned upon us and other
Granges in this vicinity for the tidings
have gone out and echo says "well
done.”

We are adding new members to our
list. suspended members are. being re-
instated and dimited ones are being re-
ceived. The education we have had
through the Order has the better enab-
led us to see and feel i the benefits al-
ready derived, also the importance of
united action in the future.

During the winter months we hold
weekly meetings and aside from the
usual routine we have regular liter-
ary exercises, also a magazine exchange,

'ru%n,_;ea,,.-sues names.

which gives us a great deal of good read-
ing for a little money; thus we are men-
tally fed.

We also have a Grange store handling
general merchandise by which we are
physically fed and clothed at only five
per cent above cost of articles laid down.
Bro. G. E. Gilnian, manager of the store
has had ten years experience as clerk in
Paw Paw, and thoroughly understands
his business. Last June the first steps
were taken by his investing 8150.00 of
his own money in groceries, which he
stored in one of our ante rooms and
dealt out to Patrons at our weekly meet-
ings. Very soon this was found to be
entirely inadequate to our wants, more
capital was added by himself and some
brother Patrons. Commodious quarters
were secured underneath our hall. and
filled with a stock of merchandise. Bus-
iness has increased very fast, beyond the
anticipations of any, sewing machines
and scales have been added to the stock.
In connection with the store is aharness
shop, which is doing a thriving business,
and we contemplate the addition of some
other branches of industry in the near
future. Therefore the outlook for us is
very flattering. Fraternally,

J. C. Goru), Master.

Slow to pour her kitchen slops into

such swill the hogs could get water at.
the pond. “Of course,” he said, “the
water is a little green and slimy, but
ilie hogs don’: seem to kn W the dif-
erence.”

There is a lane: running fro.ii the
barnyard to the pond, which is very
convenieii t, as the cows can help them-
selves t.()‘Wa[91‘,E«1l(3l.l as it is, which
they never {lo till stern necessity com-
pels them. His: lior:-.:es utterly reject
the coiitems of the pond, and about
once in two or three days he Walers
them at 111 - family spring. ’l“iie.-pring

liaving an ..ld b.a.:rel sunk into the
earila, which serves to paztially ex-
clude the snakes and toad;-i. l)ll*."kS
an-:3 geese take great delight in proino-
uading round that spring. Ofcour;-e
there is a cover to the old barrel, butlt
is always oil’, as it is too much fl‘()i_:l:.f(£
to ‘take it .711‘ and put it on again cverv
timea poll of water is needed. 'l‘u+.:
.-‘pi'ing is .5-.l',oiiL :20 rods from the lion.-ze,
in iiie r-ppo.siLe direction. from the

to the pond that all the water wed in
{he n-.ui.ise, e.v..'--pt for cookliig pur-
pose:-', coiiies frmii there.

“Why doi1’L you dig a well, Mr.
Sloiv?” said his neighbor Ctirabout
one dgy as he noticed 1<‘arnie.i' Slow’:-2
wife tugging a coui-le of pails of wa-
t-r up from the spring. “Oh, I can
never find time,” answered Sl )W, "and
it ctsts a pile of nicne-4 to get a well
and then you have to earn all the wa-

er you get in drawing it out, i.—.i1d at
the spring all one has to do is tf dip it
up.”

“But it would be so much healthier
for yourself and family to use good
pure water from a well,” said Slim-
bout. “You have had considerable
sickness in your family the past season
and I believe that old spring is the
cause of most ofit.” ‘

“Yes,” said S10", “we do _have a
turn of the shakes once in a while, but
when such is the case we call in Dr.
Stiiffem and with a few good doses of
calomel and a littl= quinine he sets us
on our taps in short order, and that
don-’t cost half as much as it would to
dig a well.”

“But you don’t take into considers
l'l()lJ how much trouble you might
save your wife-by having a good sup-
ply of pure fresh water near the house
and, besides, it is easier in the long
run to dig to‘: my feet fll" water than
to go ‘twenty rods,” unswerd Stiraboui.

“I declare,” said Slow, “I never saw
it in that light before, and as soon as I
can find time I shall dig a well.” But
farmer Slow never found time and the
chances are he never will. His door-
yard is full of all kinds of old trum-
pery and the roadside in front of his
house and barn is filled with old wag-
ons aud carts which long since ceased
to be useful. Yet he intends to fix
up a better wagon than the rickety old
thing he now uses out of the old ones
when he has time. One of the old
carts has a good tongue, another a
good wheel, athird had a new axle
put in only a day before the wheels
broke down, some of the spokes in a
fourth are good yet and would do

to put in if he should have the misfor-
tune to break some in the wagon he
now uses. So he lets them stand year
after year, serving to advertise to the
public the shiftless character of their
owner. wlih ii»-expectation that they
Willcome i to i lay some time.

Farmer Slow always plants his
crops aft-r everybody else. is done.
His horses are generally poor
and weak in the spring and it
won’t s do to hurry them and
besides, his chances for borrowing
tools is better after his neighbors are
done with them.

He has only one hoe on the place
and that he takes gr:-at delight in tell-
ing his neighbors was llltflr n\' his
grandfather the year ’l‘hoiii.v.. outer-
son was elected president for the first
time. Slow says there is wear in that
hoe, and I agree with h in; but most
of the wear comes upon the one who
uses it. After planting a crop he al-
ways waits to lee if it is goini: to come
to anything before he squanders any
more labor upon it, and he generally
waits till it is past all remedy, and
then finds the weeds and grass com-
glete masters of the field. His corn
never comes to anything but “nub-
bins.” His wheat turns mostly to
chess. His potatoes are very small
and those that are smaller than quails’
eggs he saves for ~eed.

Hr: winters his stock at the straw
stack, ano after thefirsf of Fe:,i'uary
he never goes out to do his chores in
the morning without his butcher
knife for lie ie pretty sure to find
something to skin. But then “liidc.-i
fe:<:l'i <-,:is'ii,"‘ he says, “and :1 lltile ready
money comes good that time in the-
year I") buy tobacco with, as be dis-
covcrs his neighbor;-3 are always “just
out” at the time he l.-l.

l<‘..riner Slow always raises quite a
number of calves. He generally 1‘al:'es
two to three calves upon the milk
that is left after the family is sup.
plied. .\Ir.-:». Slow always tends to feed-
ing the calves. She can be seen every
morning in summer going to the pas-
ture carryiiig apail ofuillk in one hand
and an enormous ox whip in the ow-
er. When she arrives where the calves
are the battle commences. Each calf
is allowed to put its nose into the mi k
when down comes the stick and blow
folloivs blow till the llule brute is
forced to retire and make room for the
next. Of course each calfcarries iiime
milk from the pail sticking to his
chops th-.in'he swallows. The last calf,
which is generally the weaker one,
has the pleasure of licking the empty
pail, which seems to affonl some cool-
fort, and besides, it generally gels off’
without. it maiilliig. 'l‘lio..-se calves
go into V‘-'lI1U.I' qual‘lt.-rs in thin
tlesli. Their winter qLia1'tei's awe
surrounded by a worm fence and cov-
ered ly the canopy of Heaven. No
=.von«.lei' that most of them perish ‘oe-
fu.e spring.

But la:-moi‘ Slow don’t believe in
tiglii barns. He says that U:1[tlL‘kepi
in them are not :0 healthy, Neither
does he believe in blooded .-lock. lie
has tried them he says, and they are
not ll§l!‘4l_‘~ enough. I. reniernoer he
paid fifty dollars fora lousy calf, some
years ago, because the seller recom-
mended lt asa tl.lOl'Ol.lgl]D!‘€(l. Slow
 lie gave it extra care, but itdidu’L
live till New Yeai"s. (His 5-i-riibs gen-
ei‘-.-.lly live lll.l.Fl:l.)?"Ll:tI'_Y ) His r.-x~
tra one consisted of a couple of old
boards laid across a fence *_:nl‘n$:l‘ to
keep out .he wind and snow. He was
so much out of pocket on nislirst
venture that lie is thoroughly dis-
gusted with improved stock. If a
breed could be found that would win-
ter on pine browse and code out in
the spring beef fat 1 lhlllk he would
invest. .

Farmer Slow is not a Granger. he
don’t believe in such things. He
did at on: time think of joining
but Mr. Grinder, the merchant, told
him the Grange didn’t amount to
anything. The Granges were all.go—
ing down all over the country and that
C—— Grange was the only one he
knew of in running order. Mr.
Wrangler, the lawyer, told him these
Pazrons werea bad lot as they were
trying to drive all honest men out of
business. “Just think of it,” said he,
before they started the Grange I had
two or three suits to conduct every
week for these very men. Now the}
settle their dis ntes in a bungling
lIla.llll':I‘ among themselves without
my assistance, which you must cer-
tainly know ls all wrong, and many
of ther even keep their own accounts
and of course in that case there is ll’.-
tle. chance f: 1' an honest man like my-
self [0 get much business. LIV.-; and
let live is my motto. \Vli_y! what
would us lawyers do if all the farmers
were Grangeis and would settle their
matters by arbitration in the Grange
as is recommended in their declara
tion of Purposes.” Slow thought it
would be entirely :00 bad to deprive
these gentlemen of their legitimate
business in such a way as that. His
great heari. swelled with indignation
at the bare idea and he has held a

grudge against all Patrons ever since.
although he does not object to bor-
rowing their tools and generally leaves
them slanding where last.used until
the owner calls for them.

About the time of which we have
been speaking Slow violated his usual
custom on the Sabbath and went to
church. The sermon was preached

\

by the Bev. Roaring Howler, from the
text, “They choose darkness rather
than light because their deeds are
evil.” The minister said that meant
-the Grangers. Of course their deeds

are evil, and he prolonged his sermon

for two hours, in which his malice

and ignorance of the principles of the

Grange were equally conspicuous.

That sermon settled Slow. It linched

firmly what Grinder and \Vrangler

had Lold him, and from that day forth

he would hardly be seen in company

with aGranger unless he wanted a

favor.

Farmer Slow don’t take any paper.
He can’t afibrd it. He don’t believe
in farmers fooling away their time on
education. (H course it is wl right for
merchants, doctors and lawyers to be
educated. But he don't see as
farmers need much education. Any-
body can plow or sow or her-
row, chop wood or lay up fem-es
without any “Earning” just as
well as with. He says muscle is what
is needed on the farm. There are
no books to be found in Slow’s house.
He has not had even’ a Bible in the
house since old Towser was a pup. He
had a nice one then. a present from a
maiden aunt, but the baby took a fan-
cy to the gilt binding and of course he
had to have it to play with, and the
puppy got hold of itaml tore the cover
oil", and Mrs. Slow useil up the leaves
to light lier pipe With. 1\‘ll‘.Hlf)W can
find no time to read, yet he will spc-iul

months every fall in this way, and all
the pay lie gets is a run of the agm.-.

I-lie ii-"var has any wilful pile-"l up in
season; he can’t find llllle. in in»..-
summer Mrs. Slow does the cooking
with pieces of old bai k and slivers
from the fence, and if dinu-.-i' is a little l
late Mr. Slovv is apt to grumble. H‘.-
is always asking his wife why
she can’t get around on time
as Mrs. Stirabout does. Her meals
are alway .- rght on liand at the tick of
of the clock. lliit he forgets to men-
tion that Sturaboiit prepares a nice
wood-pile every fall, all splitans; l'P?lIl_\'
for the stove, wliile lie is linnting
foxes. And besides, Mrs. Hllralmiit
has plenty of pure water right at her
door and a cistern of soft water for
washing piirposes. She is not obliged
to trudge :31) rods to the old spring, or
use water from the nasty pond. But
blow never tliini-as of that. H» re-
inliids his wife every day what asiu.~irt
woman his n’]()l.ll(-l" Iva-, and liiuis
very frequently that he considers every
other woman in the n.<~i,'_;lil~.orlioiiil
smarter and better looking than 9111‘ is.
ln her yoiinger days she tried her lie-st
to please him, but she finally (ll‘~'.(,‘UV'
cred it was of no use, so she gradually
settled down into a sullen, broken-
liearteil drudgc, going the rounil of her
duties like :1 horse in a ball; mill and
receiving the ~'aiiic (:oiiipen~iatioi~.

Slow has but few tools on his farm,
and the few lie ha’-i are always (‘Xl’lUS&1l

His chickens roost in the old cherry
tree summer and wiiileranil he is con-
flnually grumbling bec iise his hens
never lay when eggs bring anything.
He never feeds them and yet com
plains that they don’: pay their way.

Farmer Slow is not much of a poll
ticlan. Ite generally votes the same
party ticket his father did. Once in
a while when his crops fail altogether
he lays it to the party in power and
then he votes for a change.

He is always very par‘ icular to plant
his crops in the right time of the
moon and very careless as ti the con-
dition the ground is in. He says it
don’t make much difference about that
if you plant in the right time of the
moon and have good luck you will Le
sure to get agood crop.

He always kills his hogs by the moon
so the meat will not shrink. But it is
hard to understand what difference
that could make on hogs that have
been shrinking and swelling by turns
ever since they first saw the light.

I cannot stop to tell you all the curl-
ous ways of Farmer Slow. You will
judge by what you have already heuril
that he don’t iisake fanning pay. I
auiglad he is not a Granger. as he
would be of little lienefit to the Order
and he is so film in his way I fear the
Order would not much benefit him.
He is like mortar that is set, if dis-
turbed it is spoiled. Yet the influence
of the Grange might be extended to
the younger branches of the Slow
family who are yet teachable with
beneficial effects.

Brothers, in Writing this sketch of
farmer Slow I do not allude to any
Patron. Of course no Patron is guilty
of any of the short comings of farmer
Slow. Grangers never keep more
stock than they can shelter and feed.
They always have water and wood
handy. Their tools are always shel-
tered when not in use, and their crops

3

They all read books and papers, and
es; ecially the GRAl\'(il-1\'l.‘5l’l‘\)P.. They
also encourage those who have er. ter-
prise enough to introduce improved
stock. So you perceive these unworthy
pages are not intended for them.

Sisters and brothers. let us extend a
helping hand to the younger branch es
of the Slow family. and if possible get
them out of the rut in which the
family has stuck for generations: let
us get as many of them as possible
lnt'eiested in the Gl{Al\'(iH \'isi'i‘oR
and other agricultural and literary
papers and perhaps the next genera-
tion may be rid of all such farmer.-* as
farmer Slow.

A (TA.ll.ll.\l\"S TALE.

csear EXCITEMENT AT THE ous-
LIN TRIALS.

the Murderers of Cavendish and Burke
Bully ldentified—Kavanagh Tells
the Story of the Murder.

On Saturday, at Dublin, the Kilmain-
hamcourt was crowded, when Joseph
B-rady, Timothy Kelly, Town Councillor
James Carey, Carman Fitzharris. Law-
rence Hanlon, Joseph Mullett, James
Iullett, Edward O’Brien. Wm. Maro-
sev, David Ciirley, and Daniel Delaney,
were placed in the prisoner's dock.
These, together with Fagan and Thomas
Doyle (making the unlucky number of
33} are charged with conspiracy to mur-
iiier Burke, Lord Frederick Cavendish,
and. attack Field. There was the great-
est excitement in court when Kavanagh,
a carman, a member of the society to
IIh.i.h the conspirators belonged, who
became informer last Thursday, was
placed on the stand. During the read-
uig of his deposition, Kavanagh leaned
back in the seat, resting his head
on his hand. with a dogged expres
rion of countenance. As the examina-
tion progressed the prisoners appeared
in sheer ilespizration. Not one of them
looked toward the court except Hanlon.
On Kavanagh identifying Delaney and
James Carey. the latter of whom he
«said he knew well, there was such a com-
motion in court that the magistrate
‘threatened to clear it. Brady afterward
9o.mewhati'sc.overed his composure and
cmieavored to smile. The evidence of
Iiavauagh was so conclusive that it pro-
duced a marked impression on the pris-
nners. who evidently fnink the game is
all up. All of them toward the close
exhibited ii defiant .deme-aiior. exccpt
James Carey who sat motionless, gazing
fixedly at the bench. The others moved
about, and held whispered conferences.
Kavanagh being placed in the witness
i-‘cat showed great excitement and testi-
ied that on the 6th of last May he Was
-cugageii at Royal Oak public house,
Park Gate street, by Brady, Kelly and
‘iwo s‘t.ang<:rs. He drove the four men
into the park by tho island bridge gate
io the Pll(i".ll.\' monument, and along the
main road to the Gough monument, and
iliey got down. They said there was no
sign of “Skin-the-goat," meaning James
Fitzharris. the carman. (Fitzharris here
shouted, “I)uIJ‘t call me a nickname”)
After the prisoners had said ‘there was
no sign of Fll'Zl12l.l'1'lS, the witness saw
him with a cab coming from the opposite
directiori, and saw four men alight from
ihe cab. The cab stayed a long way up
the road with the horses’ heads turned
towards Dublin. After the men the
Witness drove to the park had alighted
there he put the nosebag on his
horse. While waiting he heard a person
speak to James O’I3rien. Delaney after
wards instructed him (Kavunagh) to look
-sliarp and be ready to start. Upo_n this
he drove nearer to the group, which in
izluiled persons he did not know. Two
gentlemen (nofe—-Lord Uavendisli and
.8urke, were approaching arm in arm.
James Carey and Delaney, who Lind come
back on the car from the place where it
was waiting, jumped down and joined
the group. The witness lieiird some one
say: "It is the tall man." Kavanagh
-was then ordered to go further away by
some of the conspirators. As he did so
he heard some one say, he could not tell
who. "Mind, it is the tall man." As the
gentlemen came along, either Carey or
Delaney seized :1 white handkerchief.
While he was waiting a carman nick-
ziziined i.Nowt passed, driving a passen-
ger named Nolan towards Dublin,
fie was also ’ passed’ by sonic
bicyclists. The witness said on looking
around he thought he saw onlv one
aentlemmi fall, and the other. who had
an umbrella, was lying on the ground.
‘On driving from the scene they took the
turn to the left, then crossed the bridge
to the right along the Enescore road.
Delaney directed him where to drive.
He drove rapidly until he reached
Roundtown, three miles from the park.
Here Tim Kelly alighted. He then
strove around to Leeson park, stopping
at a public house near Leeson bridge.
Brady then paid and dismissed him. On
fiunday he met Brady again at Towns-
end street and received £2. Brady after-
-wards bought him a harness. He al-
{.owed the car to remain as it was for
-.some time, and then had it painted.
Kavanagh said he was so near the
«scene of the assassination that he heard
.-me of the victims cry. “Oh ” The tall
victim (Burke) was lying in the road
after this exclamation. The other was
standing in the road with an umbrella in
his hands. 'Kavanagh afterwards saw
‘him lying in the road as before stated.
Kavanaglfs evidence is felt to be con-
clusive. Little can be added to it as the
crown will not accept the evidence of
actual participants. Kavanagh’s evi-
dence makes it certain that Burke was
first murdered, and that the plot was
primarily against him.
On the night Field was attacked he
was on the College street stand. Joe
Brady again engaged him. They drove
into Fleet street. Delaney then got on
the car and they drove to Harwick street,
where they alighted. They told him to
wait. While waiting Kelly and Law-
zencefianlon came up. Kelly lost his
but when he mounted the car after the
attack on Field, and the car fled by a
3§I'cllll'l0115 route. In Townsend street
iialiy bought another hat. At the works,
Brady and Kavanagh wrapped some
kind of swords in a aper and threw
‘ihem into the basin. grady again paid
for the car on this occasion. He (Kaya-
aagh) had been twice to Phoenix park
before May 6, with the four men whom
 drove on the clay of the murders.
Kavanagh in his testimony said Doyle
‘told him that James Mullett and a lot of
fig people belonged to the scciety. He
was sworn into the society by Kelly.
Thomas Doyle was present when he_was
sworn into the society. He identified
{Doyle as having told him he must. the
jay after sweari . drivfi 8-llywhefe they
required. The ' ner Doyle herenpon
' ed, "It is a lie.” Upon Kavaiiagn

“Q phmmx pg;-k murders, Fitzhari-is

dgpoaod that Fitzhan-is on one occasion

told him they were after Judge Lawson.

Counsel for the crown announced his
intention to produce every little evi-
dence which would corroborate that of
Kavanagb.

George Motley. a batter of Capel
street, Dublin, deposed that he saw Kay-
anagh on May 6. at Wren’s, the public
house Kavanagh mentimwd in his depo-
sition.

Samuel Jacob, witness -is the inquest.
deposed to seeing the ~'-I-ggle in the
park from adistance (~ 3' yards. He
saw the assassins moui I I  car and one
of them afterwards retin» i-Dd strike a
prostrate form. He i---. 1 I not say
whether four or five men were engaged.
J acob. was unable to recognize any of the
men on the car. Before the arrival of
the tricychsts two men. one after anoth
er, came and looked at the bodies and
walked away.

Independent witnesses corroborated
having seen Kavanagh previous to the
Phoenix park murders at the public
houses mentioned in his evidence as
having been visited before he drove to
the park.

Tim Kelley’s counsel endeavored to
shake Kavanagh‘s evidence by asking
him questions concerning interviews at
the -castle and money promised him. but
he did not. apparently, produce much
impression. Kavanagh identified Fagan
as an associate of the assassins.

Kavanagh, replying to Mr. Murphy,
crown counsel. said May 6 he wore a
white hat, but the man on the car who
was not in the prisoners’ dock changed
with him, giving him a large brown one.
This is regarded as important. as it is be-
lieved to furnish a clue to the murderer
not apprehended. A carman called con-
firmed the statement. testifying that he
passed Kavanag i’s car in the park.

The case was .i.-j.-uirned to Thursday
next.

F‘ARNELL’S VlEW$

On the Approaching Crisis--Wants Money
Backing-—0ther Matters.

DKBLIN, Feb. 8-—Parnell. in a com-
munication asking the attendance of the
Irish members of the house of commons
at the opening of parliament next
Wednesday. says that events of the
greatest importance to Ireland will be
discussed. A preliminary meeting of
the party will be held on the 14th, to
consider the action of the Irish members
during the session.

Parnell, in writing to Joseph Walsh
concerning a possible vacancy in repre-
senting the county of Mayo. depreciates
the election of a member who refuses to
take his peat. If the time came when
the Irish members retire from the house
of commons, he says that they
shuold do so in a body. _He
earnestly advocates the adoption
of some system of pecuniary compensa-
tion for members. If constituencies do
not make an effort in that direction, he
would be obliged to consider whether
he could persevere in'his thankless task
of endeavoring to keep together an in-
dependent Irish party.

THE SITUATION GROWING WORSE.

Organizing for the Work of Relief-«Gen.
erous Subscriptions on the Board
of Trada——Loss of Life Proh-
ublc-The Situation at
Plttsburg and
Elsewhere.

CINCINNATI, Feb. 10.—-The river is
now higher than it has been since 1847.
lt_stood58 feet 11 inches at 10:30 and is
still rising. There is no materiel change
in the situation. The Cincinnati &
Eastern road is submerged a few miles
out, but is able to make transfers.

This morning the embankment of the
Cincinnati. Indianapolis. St. Louis at
Chicago railway, near Lawrenceburg.
Ind., gave way and the town was flooded
three feet on all the lower level. No
lives were lost, but much discom-
fort and loss was caused. The school
house was submerged above the first
floor. Saw mills and distilleries are
closed. The farmers lose heavily in
timber. The break shuts out trains on
the road.

CINCINNMI. Feb. ]0—The river has
risen a fourth of an inch from 11 to l,
and now is 59 feet 4 inches and about on
a stand. Cellars are filled in all the main
part of the city south of Pearl street.
Water street is now completely
under water and skills have to be
used to reach business houses. Vast
quantities of merchandise are on the
streets, taken from the cellars. The
bridge leading from the river bank at
Newport to the waterworks build-
ing was swept away, and the
building itself in which more than sixty
thousand dollars worth of machinery
was recently placed is in iminincnt
danger. It stands 100 feet from the
shore. Laige quantities of ice reached
it by water to day in Newport and ruined
it. The Ohio .8: Mississippi road was all
right at noon as far as Lawrenceburg,
where the chief point of danger lies
Supt. Peabody telegraphs that be ex-
pects that no break Wlll occur. The
Cincinnati, Hamilton .5’: Dayton, Cincin-
nati & Northern and the Little Miami
roads are not affectecl. The others have
made arrangements with these for
passenger traffic, but have to neglect
freight. More than 2,000 head of cattle
were removed from the distilleries in
Mill Creek bottom. An extensive break
in Great street cuts off communication
over that thoroughfare and threatens
the railway embankment.

CI:<cii~:.\:A'rI, 0., Feb. 12 --Tlie river at
ll has rea-~lier.l 63 feet five inches. It
has risen two inches in the past three
hours. Barges are being run along
Second street to relieve the wants of
people living there. The current
Front street is so rapid as to malii;
navigation dangerous. The suspension

bridge cannot be reached at all except .

b_v boats. The new part of the bridge is
also inaccessable except by boats or
wagons. Suffering among the people in
the flooded part of the city is unavoid-
able. no organized effort has yet been
made to relieve them. but must be done
soon or loss of life is inevitable.

Specials to the Tz'//2e.s-.'~'(u/- from points
above indicates that the rise will con-
tinue here probably till to-moi-row. The
river is falling at l\I£i.l'it:f-ta. but is rising
above there. At Maysville it is rising
an inch an hour. Large quantities ‘of
whiskey, flour and other property are
everflowed.

There is no change in the sitiiat-ion of
the railroads. The Cincinnati A3 1)-.i_v~
ton is under water near Brighton, but
trains arrived and went out this morn-
ing. The Little Miami road is virtually
blocked at Batavia J iinction, a few miles
out, by the track being under water.

There is no news this morning from
Lawrenceburg. Ind. The worst is feared

 there as the town is isolated.

CINCINNATI, Feb. 12.— Business is
practically suspended. Quotations are
nominal. A relief committee was ap-
pointed by the chamber of commerce
and a large amount of money was con-
tributed.

CINCINNATI, Feb. 12.—The meeting of
the chamber of commerce showed. a
prostration of business. Only the merest
necessities of trade are accomplished.
There is no disposition to enter into
speculation. The president called the
body and a resolution was adopted ap-
pointing a committee to collect money
and provide relief for the suli'erers. M. E.
Ingalls was made chairman. On motion
of Richard Smith, the chamber gave
35,000 to the committee. Superintend-
ent Maxwell accepted indvidual sub-
scriptions immediately of fully
35,000 more. The committee goes
to work at once. The common council
is called to meet to-morrow to organize
relief measures. Among the losses
this morning are 300 cattle drowned
at Geike it Lippelman’s distil-
lery. The work of removing the
poor fromfhe tenement houses or of
furnishing them provisions must begin
at once. Just now all available skifl"s
and other crafts are busy saving
gocds and ferrying passengers. The
gas is completely exhausted. Citizens
are providing candles and lamps. The
theatres will be equipped with electric
lights. but they fear the audiences will
be small on account of the fear that it
will be dark on the streets.

The river is 63 feet 712' inches at 1:30
P. M., and still rising.

PITTSBUBG. Feb. l2.—The rise on the
Monongahela river was not sufficient to
overflow the banks. At noon it was 20
feet with prospects of about a foot more
before the highest point will be reached.
No damage has been done. Dispatches
from the headwaters report _the river
falling.

BURNED AT SEA.

Fate of a. Puget Sound Vesse1—-The Cap-

SAN FRANCISCO. Feb. 9.—A Seattle
dispatch says: The steamer Gem left
this port this morning loaded with hay
and other freight for Port Gamble, Sea-
back and Union City,and having four pas-
sengers. She called at Port Madison and
in the afternoon started for Port Gamble.
When five or six miles out smoke was
observed coming from the hay. They
headed the boat for shore. lashed the
wheel and got the life boat into the
water, but in three minutes it went
adrift. All but the extreme forward part
of the boat was a mass of flames.
The Chinese cook and two deck hands
shoved the remaining boat into the
water, jumped for it, fell into the water,
and drowned. T. G. Vicxery, a passenger.
teacher at Skobmat Indian reservation.
cried to his wife to follow him and i he
would save her and plunged into the

sound and was drowned. His wife fol-
lowed him and sank in a moment.

The deck hands lost were: George
Gowen and E. Rayback and they, with
Vickerey and wife. and the Chinese
cook. ‘complete the list of drowned.
Captain Williamson anchored and kept
headed to the wind,and so kept the how
free from fire. and themselves safe,unt-il
taken oil‘ by boats from the shore, two
miles distant.

The Gem was a stern—wlieeler of 58
tons and belonged to John McCree 8:
Co. of Union City. She was valued at
$6,000. There was no insurance on the
vessel or cargo.

THE SENATORSHIP.

An Aiionyinmis \\’ashlugtonlan on the
Michigan Situation.

Post and Tribune special.

WAfiHlN(}TON. Feb. $l.—A representa-
tive of the .Y:I.fz.‘nuul Ifvpzzblzcazi of this
city has been paying considerable atten-
tion of late to the Michigan senatorial
question. Last night he interviewed a

prominent member of the Michigan del-
egation on the subject. The proiniuent
member. senatorially speaking said:
“Senator Ferry professes thcutmost con-
fidence in re-election when the legisla
turc re-convenes next ‘Tuesday. butI
must confess I cannot see how he is go
ing to make it. The men who have been
voting for him may continue to vote
for him. but he cannot be elected unless
the whole democratic strength goes to
him. He can probably get 15 or 18 dem-
ocrats and greenback votes when he
wants them, but when this element ral-
lies to his support he will lose
15 to 20 republican votes.
break which will ensue his following
will scatter, and he will be left out in
the cold. His only hope is to stand
firm, and, in my opinion, excessive firm
ness only means prolongation of the
struggle and ultimate defeat. The sen-
ator must know that heis beaten, but he
hates to admit it. His best friends know
it, and they have urged him to name
his successor and retire. No man can
be elected who is (listateful to Ferry,
and it may be put down as an absolute
certair-t_v that he will not consent to tho
elevation of any iniiii to his seat who
has been in any way prominent in fight-
ing him. Although he can’t be elected.
he is master of the situation to that ex-
tent that he can ilictzitc terms before he
surrenders. Several dark horses who
have been led up and down
the quarter stretch and specdcd
around the course have gone lame to n
man, and so far as I am able to perceive
there is no man among them who fills
the popular eye at thisjuncture. Tlionins
\V.Pulmer of Detroit. might do if lac
were differeiitly located geographically.
and Representative Willits is siinilarlv
situated. Burrows might have stood it
show had be not turned in and fought
Ferigv when there was no call for it. Per-
ry Hannah posed too soon. Judge
\Vit-hey of Grand Rapids is much talk-Ml
of as a possibility. He is a personal
friend oi Senator Ferry, but he is not it
man of special force and would not Btlll
to the lustre of the state. He
is physically delicate, cannot make a
speech to save his lifc. and has no politi-
cal training. The Christiancy business
is too fresh in the minds of the people
of Michigan to tempt them to rob the
bench of a good judge to make a senator
of doiibtfiil quality. [ do not think he
will be chosen. ltepi-esentat-ive Lacey
is zi dark horse of great promise. He.
has ln-on faithful to Ferry and has kept
his friends in line for the caucus
nominee from the ' start, refusing to
lo‘. them bring him out at any
stage of the voting. although tiicy
were anxious to give him their ‘.:.I_tti‘«'(-*
support. Lacey would make a credit-
able senator, and when Ferry is confront-
ed with the last ditch ——the necessity of
naming an licir——it is quite easy to be-
lieve-. he will select the nisinber from tho
third diatrict——Lacey. That is all I
know about it.”

Frank K. Foster, secretary of the
Massiicliiisetts feder.iti<_xi.- of trade and
labor unions, was before thcseniit-e coni-
niittec. on edu:-.a'.ioii and labor, and
soolte‘ of the con<.lition of workmen in
New Euglainl. He said the line:-. of
“eiistt-." were gr-.-xving more and more
cicarly defined each year; that in New
England at least the assumed worship of
(}c-ll has ceased to level .ll
distinctions among men. The mill ope-
ratives of New England as ii class are
perhaps worse off, and their present
condition is sure to produce an enfecbled
race of men and women in the next gen-
eration, as the same conditions have al-
ready done in England

The working people of Massachusetts
are better off than those of other New
England ststescn account of the en-
forcement of the ten hour law. The
hours worked in Msssachiisctts are 60
per week, while in the weaving districts
of England there are but 56. Wages are
about the same. Since 1878 the average
wages have increased 6.9 per cent while
the average cost of necessities to live,
including meats, breadstiilfs, vegetables.
dry goods, boots, board, etc., has increas-
ed 21.2 per cent.

Wssniisoirox, l). (3.. February ‘.I.---
The examination of F. H. Foster was
continued this moriiin g before the senate
committee on education and labor.
Foster said that most of the tenement
houses in the manufacturing cities of
Massachussets were owned by the mill-
owners and lessees, who are com-
pelled to furnish so many for
operatives. The houses are general-
lv small, ill-ventilated and uncomfort-
able. and the operatives are compelled
to live in the companies’ houses or be
dismissed. The sewerage and sanitary
facilities are very bad and 11 summer
nights the stench from the cesspools is
overpowering. The French Canadians
are to New England what the Chinese
are to Cahfornia and the Pacific coast.
Their morals are lower, their necessi-
ties fewer and their only , aim
seems to be to see ~ how much
money they can get to take out of the
country. They do not wish their chil-
dren to attend the schools, and when
compelled to send them often move
to another ‘ place. They seldom
accept the right of franchise. Out of a
population of 88,653 in 32 cities in New
England. only 5,996 are naturalized, and
2.859 are property owners.

Foster spoke earnestly against the
employment of children of tender years.
Little cash boys and girls are employed
in large numbers in city stores, not old
enough in many cases to be out from
under the eye of their mother. They
work, during the busy Season, from 8 in
the morning till 9 and 10 at night.

The weary look of these little girls
towards the close of a day's work is piti-
ful. The girls employed as shopwemen
are paid on an averaue $2.50 per week.
Out of this they are expected
to board themselves and provide
for all the necessities of life and
dress themselves well. Society demands
that they should be virtuous. Yet with
the me e stipend received and the
snares o ten thrown round them by
those over them. it is not a wonder that
many fall _

FRAUDULENT NOTES.
A New Phase of the Ferry Fallure at
Grand Haven.

An intimate friend of Senator Ferry
at Washington says that the name 1‘.
White endorsed with that of Ferry Bros.
on the five notes of $5,000 each, nego-
tiated in Boston, is that of an old uncle
of the Ferrvs living at Grand Rapids.

Grand Haven dispatches of Friday
to the Detroit Evening News say:
Great excitement prevails here to-
day over the further developments of
the Ferry failure. For the past two
dayscreditors have been here investi-
gating the Ottawa iron works, of which
Senator Ferry owns in controlling interest.
Some of the creditors have discovered
that there have been’ fraudulent notes
to an enormous amount issued in the
name of the iron works and indcrsed by
the Ferry Bros. One creditor from Bos-
ton was in the city a few days ago with
notes amounting to 825.000 on the Otta-
wa iron company. signed by T. White
and indorscd by Ferry Bros. When he
discovered that they were fraudulent

and were in the hand-writing of Senator
Ferry. he left; on the first train for
Washington to see the senator, with a
smile on his face and blood in his eye.
He said that unless the senator settled
at once he would institute criminal pro-
ceedings against him. This matter com-
pletely ruins the Ottawa iron works, and
their paper is now worthless. They
have contracts ahead for a year’-s
work, and if not closed by cred-
itors will pay their honest debts
dollar of dollar. They are still open and
running. The works are known as the
Ottawa Iron works and not company,
and your reporter is assured of all the
above facts by a member of the Ottawa
iron works firm. Ed. Ferry is not in the
‘city. but in an interview which your re-
porter had with him yesterday he refused
to give any statement or the name of the
party who some claim -brought on the
failure. -

IN THE ICE.

Winter Navigation on Lake Michigan-
Expcriciice of the Kalli-oacl Steainei-3.

The Flint (ll Pere Marquette railroad
steamers plying between Milwaukee and
Ludington, got into the slush ice off
Ludingtnn Thursday. The No. 1 lay
still and became fast in the ties. The
No. 2 kept backing and going ahead till
she twisted her rudder-post off. l‘he
No.1 signalled for assistance and the No.
2 made ineflectual efforts to reach her
but was unable and finally left the No. 1
adrift between Little and Big Points Au
Sable. The No. 2 returned to Mil
waukee Sunday forenoon. Captain
Ducidleson says that there is miles
of heavy ice ofl“ Pentwater and 8 off
Ludington. There is no slush ice on
the west shore but the ice belt there is
12 to 15 miles wide. His boat. the No.
2, beams incrustecl with an icy rain, four
feet thick and six deep. while playing
around the slush ice off Ludington.
This had to be cut away by the crew.
She returned because unable to find ll
rift through to the harber. The slush
ice formed under and around the No. 1
about 20 feet deep. The No. 2 had to
return to Milwaukee for fuel and sup-
plies. The railroad steamer Wisconsin
of the Grand Haven line left Milwaukee
Sunday and that afternoon got. fast in
the ice five miles of!’ Grand Haven.

FERRY’S STRAITS.

A New Development at Chicago Which
Looks Bad for the Senator.

At Chicago Saturday. Henry P. Bald-
win filed for record ii deed from Edward

P. Ferijv. of Ferry Bros.. for a tract of
land in Cook county, for the considera-
tion of 525.000. The dead was given in
1877, and was never before recorded. In
the meantime, about January 1, Cutler
& White, of Grand Haven. recorded a
deed to the same piece of property. It
is understood the first deed ‘was given
to secure the First National bank of De-
troit for money loan ed, and that the deed
was kept from record at Fei-ry’s request.

Some of the Grand Haven people who
were bitten by the Ferry failure are cir-
culating statements on the street against
his character.

BIRTHDAY SURPRISE.

[Verses r:o_rnpoa.r_2d and read by Mrs. Addie
Wainwright, in responce to a surprise party
qwen her on her birthday]

Forty-seven years of smiles and tears,
Forty-seven years of hopes and fears,
Forty-seven years of labor and care,
Forty-seven years of pleasures rare.

Forty-seven years so swift have rolled,
I scarce can think that I've grown old;
But since those years I can’t decoy,
They shall not spoil my cup of joy.

As you dear Patrons good and wise,
Have come to give me a surprise,
With baskets filled to overflowing

I could not help your secret knowing.

You’ve fixed this matter so complete,
With puddings. pies,and cakes, and meats,
I would not like to thwart your plans,

So leave it in the :Sl:'l'.8I‘S hands.

Just who's inventor of this plan,
Worthy Master Beebe led the van;
But if to judge from Patrons looks,
’I‘Was \7ViEe and l’.:st ltla.-‘ter Brooks".

And, now I want to tliaiik you all
For making such ii. friendly call,

And say its not 5:. very strange

Its just the stylér of Portland G1--tiige.

In the days of our f01'GfD.ll_ll31‘Sl1011Sf,--
work wris not so teiioiis sud irk-:-r.-'.-no :1
process as at the present time. The
reason of this was not that our grand-
mothers were less 1ndu.=.trioiis than their
children are, but their work was of 21
different kind. and now, at least, is not
classed as housework. :‘Lt the present-
time you will scarcely find a single
household where the cloth with which
the family is clothed is prepared at home;
yet we find this never ending roiitii.~z—.
called housework is a greater bui'deii
than it was in the {i  of spinning and
weaving. Win: is l.'vi.l1l*’,f5()? l belicveif
is wholly due to the l'.iJ§l7)!lt'l‘ of living.

In our gi':inclm<_>tii-sis’ {time the great
variety of pics, ikes, piicldings, pickloi-3,
preserves, jellies cud saiices W'€1'F-L«"Jf
known, much less need, as everv day
diet as they are now. Thiinksgiving,
Christmas, qiiiltings and xved-lingo \'/r.re;,
the times that l'I‘lI':'tl. tlic hoiisevrivcr-'
skill, but what they would have deemed
a banquet, is ".1! every day occurrence in
many families.

My sul.~.j.:r.:t- ll.-‘, economy in all this.
and I should fail to “point :2 moral”diil
I not call voiir attention to the fcvlly of
this o‘vei'-abundance of viaincls that ninny
h0l1b£:l.{é‘~6pEl"3 provide, but shall give
more space to hints as to saving time:
and strength in other ways than in the
bill of fare.

The prime factor in economy‘ in 1.03135-
work is to lizive everything handy. The
kitchen, pantry and dining-room should
be so arranged as to make few steps, and
they should all be on ii level. Nothing
tends more to tire one than having the
different rooms at various heights and
thus making it necessary to go up and
down steps.

Wood and water are the next essen-
tials. Any man who does not provide
plenty of good wood should be “beaten
with many stripes.”

The meals should be prepared on
time, and, as a rule, should be eaten on
time. There is hardly anything more
exasperating than to habitually have to
wait for the family after the meal is
ready. In preparing a meal economise
in the use of dishes, knives and forks, as
that saves labor in washing, and a meal
can be Well cooked without using every
dish in the house in its preparation.

Put everything in its proper place as
soon as you have finished using it. This
is almost, if not quite, the key
note to economy in housework
After the family have left the sitting
room for the '=i',:ht, put it to rights by
arranging chairs. picking up papers and
books and in the morning you will have
a comfortable room to meet in before
the work is all done up and you will not
seem so out of order. It is, perbep-i.
useless for me to remind the brothers oi‘
the necessity of cleaning their boots and
putting them in their proper place when
the da.V’s work is done. Those who
practice that virtue do not need the
suggestion. and those who do not are, I
fear. like Ephraim of old. joined to their
idols, and I had better let them alone.

In the care of milk and butter I

should think ii. good creamerv would be E
8 great help, providing ice could be
used, and in my opinion their use’ will
be considered a necessity ere long-_
Finany, plan your work, do it with 
few steps as you can, think about it

  

finished don’t worry because it is not as
well done as some one else would have
done it. Throw off the care of it by wind
reading or some ‘amusement. Remem-
ber that future generations will not be
benefited half so much if you are a noble
housekeeper, as they will if you are a
good mother and a faithful Patron.

Tenth Session of the Michigan State Grange
in Brief.

[The following is a’ report from the State

Grange, read by Sister W. T. Remington

before Kent County Pomona Grange, and

voted to be sent to the Gannon Visiron for
publication]

Thinking perhaps that 2. short report
of the many pleasant savings and doings
we participated in while at the State
Grange might be of interest to you, and
as the \Vorthv Master of the State
Grange requested that delegates not -inlv
carry home all the enthusiasm possible,
but try to impart it to their respective
Granges, we have jotted down a few
items of interest from the many taken
while there

circulation had not been as great as in
previous years, and thought that paid
canvaussers could be made to pay. A
resolution was offered recommending

Pomona Grauges to send out alady can-
vasser which callqi for considerable dis-

cussion, some thought the word lady
should be stricken out. Bro. Cobb when
appealed to said “let it be just. as it is,
one woman is worth two men any time
for any such work.” There was consider-
able discussion in regard to making the
VISITOR a weekly and placing some of
its departments in charge of the Execu-
tive Committee, but the good sense of
the Grange left it just as it is for the
present at least. The Secretary reported
the condition of the Order in the State
very favorable. Eight new Granges have
been organized, and the returns show an
increase of 945 in membership. Tvzo
Granges have consolidated, in number
reorganized and put in good working
order, and only one disbanded.

In regard to the drive well, there was
received from 11](llVl(l1‘lt2l contributions
mostly one dollar each, $2,035.00; from
120 =.’}r-anges $1,374.19 in monev and
pledges, making total of $2,364 32,
$700 of this has been paid over to Bro.
Plutt, =I51l8.l7for other expenses, leaving
the bzilancc in the secretarys hands sub-

after the appointment of committees.
the Worthy Master called the Woitiiy
Overseer to the chair and retired from
the hall for that purpose. The forenoon
was then nearly all taken up in what
may be likened to a good old Methodist

what  might expect from the illtister
of the State Grange. You who heard
him speak know that he never said a
poor thing.

The Secretary’s report was quite
lengthy, from which we will note ii. few
of the more important items. Total 1'c-
ceipts of the office from all sources $10,-
109.00, showing an increase of $209.86
over last year. Total disbursements,
$8,847.21, 369132 less than last year.

33,160.58, from other sources $510 ()3

He said he was happy to meet the farm-
ers. was proud of them, etc, and said he
would like to join the Grange if he
could get an office with as large a salary
as that he then held. which we thought
the smartest thing he said. Bro. Andrew
Campbell was the next speaker; was
well pleased with the address, also the
little liit of taifv given us by the Gov-
ernor. The next in order was the instal-

Friday afternoon and evening there
were, I think, nineteen committees re-
ported, and some at considerable length.
It was said more business was done 
the four days than at any session of
the State Grange, and some said
as much as the Legislature would do in
four months. On Friday evening after

there was a presentation at the Execu-

“genus gallus” to the member of the
Executive Committee from Kent county
and here we would say if any of our
members are expecting a visit from any
of the third sex spoken of by our Wor-
thy Chaplain, they would do well to call
on Bro. Porter beforehand.

And now came the time to say good
bye, the hardest of all words to say. The
hands are inclasped, the farewells are
spoken, and a sincere “God speed” is
felt in the heart of each as they separate
perhaps many of them to meet never
again. But the pleasant associations
Wlll never be forgzitten. There will al-

the many pleasant friends we met, and
we left them feeling it was good for us

There is a marvelous difference
among individuals with respect to
their power of accomplishing work.
Some pass a lifetime in doing what
amounts to nothing. They seem born
to putter, to waste theniselves on
trifling, weak, useless tasks. Others
have everyday something to show
fo. their labor. These persons have
a purposeand energy, a strong will,
a clear perception, and often an active

Now, we have in tlic Grange as in
other organizations, three distinct
ci-gasses, those who join fora good pur-

really bad, is far from being good. Then
we have the class before referred to, who

think there must be a defect in the laws
of the Grange in permittigig any person
who happens to own a few feet of ground
to become a Patron of Husbandry. \Ve
were not aware until recently that <‘~l,‘i.-"
laws were so arranged that they could
be perverted as to admit any person who
should choose to join the Grange. But
circumstances transpiring under our own

I think as there is so much that is
unimportant which is enacted in secrecy
that the affairs of vital interest should
also be kejt from outsiders. We will
look, if you please. at one of our council
meetings. Over yonder sits a man en-
gaged in the business of buying and
selling agricultural implements. At the
left of him sits 9. man employed in spec-
ulating in fruit. The subjects being
discussed are for our interests and
against theirs. Is that just as it should
be ‘? I answer no; yet they have a right
there, because they own a. farm which
has never soiled their tender palms and
their eyes seldom see.

J11-. Edlto/*.'—In the further discussion
of the question of appeals to the circuit
court it may be interesting, and in a
measure instructive to inquire what kind
of men are usually elected to the office
of justice of the peace. It is a well
known fact that men are not as a rule
elected to that office because of any pe-
culiar qualification either natural or ac-
quired which they possess, but they are
nominated. because of location or be-
cause they ure and have been loud-
mouthed and declumatorv politicians
and have done a good deal of dirty work
for the party leaders for which they
claim to be entitled to a reward at the
hands of the party and to get rid ofthcii‘
clam r the leaders secure them ll nom-
ination for j'.l'~lllC.‘3. Then all the faith-
ful of the party are expected to and
usually do support them at the polls
so as to preserve the "grand old p.-.rty”
from the disintegration that would most
assuredly follow if every can-.lid:-.te on
the ticket was not elected. It matters
not that the nominee is possibly, nay
deceitful, re-
vengcful, ignorant and conceited, arid
without the least qiialificat-it-n for the

duties of the office. one whom his neigh-

rs visrrcis.

would open the door to any man who
“owned rhe coult" to recover judgment
against his neighbors whenever
chooses so to do and they would have
no remedy.

It is a fact that in a large majority of
cases the party who goes to a justice :or
a summons. insists upon telling his
story of the case and getting an opirlirlli
from the justice before ilie summons is:
issued and the jiis.l.ice feels obligated to
stand by the opinion thus given. and

Silent Lellers.

Aunt Nina:——-With much mental
trembling I addres= you in that name,
not knowing whether I am the oldest
or not, but of one thing I am quite
certain the subject of which I would
like to write about is much older than
myself. After joining the grand
“army of Bairons” I soon learned that
it was a progressive Order, and that
to advance all along the line was the
‘battle cry.” Also to make every
needed improvement, intellectually,
socially, financially, all well as in all
things pertaining to our calling.

The subject to which I Wish to call
your attention and your Z-"1J.‘l.1ly able
corresr.ondent-= is the silent letters in
so many of the won‘: which we have
to use, either writing or ;~p-filing. Are
there ally objections to cas‘Liii,;»:; out .'£U\l
it-jectiiig the silent. and useless lei:-i-rs
in our English words'.’ If so, what
are the objections‘? Not being an ex-
pert in the rules of eupiiony, I do not
know but what it is necessary to n-
tain the letter b in debt, or t in mort-
gage. One other word will suflilre so
give the idea. more fully is phthisic.
Why are all these letters needed when
t-i-s-i-k will spell it? Why employ
eight men, where five alone are used‘?
Is it not proper for the better educated
of the Grangers to try and make some
.iniprovem«.-nt in this direction, as well
as branch out in other directions. It
seems to me from a careful examina-
tion of the sound of the letters of the
alphabet that many of them are mis-
used. Yours in brief,

--Present."

Dear Aunt Ni%a:—II1 my mind-I
ha.-ar you call the roll. and when at the
last I hear my name I bravely answer
“llere.”

Now Auntie, I hr-;~.~ you will excuse
me for not writing. ‘nut the ever re-

with attending school bring so many
duties it seems inlpcssible for me to
write even so much as my little
“ piece."

Now “Grandpa,” I - 0 not like you
one single bit. I am glad you are not
my grandpa. I don’t understand your
saying some of the older ones, etc. I
do not know of anyone having writ-
ten very “tonily;” if they did I cer
tainly have ‘missed the letter. And
then what is the use of our scraps of
history if we are never to use them
and only ourselves are to know we
have them? This to me does not
seem just right. And who does Lena
mean by those old enough to be our
aunts and uncles? I believe this de-
partmentwas-intended for the youths
and not for little children. I have not
found any letters that seemed to me
to have been written by a very ancient
person with the exception of “Grand
pals’)!

It has now become fashionable in
eastern cities to be married as early as
6 o’clock in the morning. This gives a

seventy-five cents, B paying a dollar and
refusing to take any change back saying
“a dollar was cheap enough.” When
the judgment was rendered the Justice
allowed A among other items for the

use of (1 horse for forty days whizh A
proved to be worth 50 cents per day
and B made no proof to the contrary.
B was allowed among other things for
cutting corn which he swore was wc-rth
sixteen dollars and he hall no other
proof of its value.
to show that the job contained only five
acres and that five dollars would be a
fair price for the job. Tle Justice al-
lowed A fifty cents a day for two days of
the horse work and three shillings per
day for the other thirl;y—eighl3 and upon

A introduced proof

all of A’s other items in a similar way.

B was allowed for cutting the five acres
of corn ILDK’-/ll]/-5100 (loll/was and fifty cents

' itke another case. A farmer over 
tv veal‘:-. old, of good repiitation was ac-
cused by Lt couple of young men of
stealing a sheep that belonged to
their father. They finally pre-
vailed on their father to repleyy
that sheep and then employed an
attorney to try: the case, who in com-
parlance "ruled the court” who issued
the writ. The defendant. feeling that
his reputation was at stake, made as
vigorous defence. proving that the plain-
tifi"s sheep was six years old, at least,
while the sheep in cont-rovei's_v was only
three, and further successfully tracing
the sheep in controversy lroni the time
it was a lamb to the time he purchased
it, and vet'he was beaten and was com-
pelled either to submit to the imputa-
tion -of sheep stealing or appeal. He ap-
pealed, and soon ther-after the plaintiff

died and his two sons, after spending
over 3500, were glad to buy that same
sheep of the defendant and paid $25 for
it and discontinued the suit.

These are only samples of similar

Again, if such appeals were 8ll0Wt4.l

would have his revenge the tirst opp“?-
tllnity that offered, and A.’s judgement
would be reversed without any rel‘».-i'-
enue to the law or evidence in
the case. Should the L:-lgislatiirs
ever be imbecile enough to pass such
a law, it would be a gi':=a't satis-
faction to see with what alaority
and christian fortitude you would when
“smitten on one cheek, turn the other
ulso.”

You seem to take it for granted that
I am a lawyer writing in the interest of
lawyers instead of discussing an’ impor-
tant question in the interest of a civ-
ilized people. You are not the first per-
son and probably will not be the last
one from whom the question “can any
good thing come out of N azreth ?" has
been or Wlil be heard; for it is an easy
way to reply to an antogonist. As the
question of a reform of our judicial sys-
tem is an important one in which all the
tax payers of the state are interested,
myself with the rest and believing you
and the Order you represent desired a
full and fair investigation of the sub-
ject I set out to discuss it in a gentle»
manly manner expecting I would be
treated and answered in a gentlemanlv
style. I did not expect that a heading
would be given to my article that would
give a false impression of its tenor.
Neither did I expect that your reply
would misstate my position. Such
things are not argiiinelit and do not en-
lighten the Order upon the subject in
controversy.

After misstating my argument you did
have the boldness finally to say, that
was not jllst the way I stated the mat-
ter. but that was what Imeant neverthe-
less. Allow me to say that your readers
are probably aware by this time that 1
am able to express my ideas, as I wish
them stated and those of them Who
know me personally will assure you
that when I say anything, I say what I
mean and mean what I say. And now
that possibly we may have a better un-
derstsnding and be able to discuss this
question upon its merits and to the edi-
fication of your readers, you will please
allow me to whisper in your ear, but 0!

Political Education as Necessary for the Far
mer as for other classes.

BY A. N. \V.

[Read at a Farmer's Institute held at Ben-
ton Harbor, Dec 22, 1882.]

The peculiarccnstructlon of the sub-
ject assigned me is such that there is
no other alternative than to carry for
ward the idea thur expressed—that po-
litical education is as essential for the
farmer as for others, and having no de-
sire to do otherwise, as it to me seems
almost a self-ev: dent statement. I can
concienciously say that farmers need
political education.

I believe that the continued prosper-
ity of the people, the welfare of the
state, and the perpetuity of the nation
depends upon a clear understanding
ofthe political needs or" our country;
and in having uhlgh standard of gen-
eral intelligence upon this subject
spread abroad among the laboring peo-
ple, among those whose happiness and
prosperity is increased and intensified
by having a just government wisely
administered.

I cannot endorse the sentiment.

"For forms of government let fools contest;
What’er is best rdministered, is best."

Yet I do believe that an honest and
wise management in governmental
affairs is necessary, and can only he
obtained by a general diffusion o‘
political subjects.
Let all men vote intelligently and un-
derstandingly upon the questions that
are constantlyagitating the public
mind, and we will have a more just
and stable government, a more happy
and prosperous people, and less trick-
ery and dislloncsty in the administra-
tion of municipal, State, and National»
affairs. If it then be necessary to a
general political education of the peo-
ple, lt follows as a. sequence that far-
mers should poa:5ess a clear kn(>wl(-llge
of the wants and needs of our
government, an education that will
enable them to think independently
to be able to give the l‘t‘8.‘(:IlS why
they are attaelied to any political
party, and to llave a clear idea of the.-
merlts of principles as well as the
qualifications of men.

I fear we hav : thought as a people
that all political knowledge was ves -
ed in ire professional politician,--in
those who mar.ipulat.e the party cau-
C48, and part_'_."- conventions, Wlvle
this is not the reality, it is too true
that farmers do not give enough at-
tention to the siudy of political prin
ciples——prlncip...'es that affect the wel-
fare of the agricultural classes, the
growth and ldvancement of the
nation, and the happiness of its peo-
ple.

We live in a. world of contlis t, and
the politicalataaosphere of our country
cannot be kept. pure withouta 3l'.I'ug-
gle, long and deadly, and can not
be freed from dishonest practices
in the ceaseless scramble for r f-
lice, which of late has taken
such a hold upon the nature of the
avera.-e politician. This to us ll.-
one of the saddest pllasr-s in all the
political arena, \-iz. : that a person in
order to receive the honors of any
ofllce, finds or thinks it necessary to
announce himself a candidate, button-
hole about every man he meets and
beg and entreat. votes. It is a practice
which I neither respect nor sanction,
and the sooner ills buried under the
ban of public (ensure the better for all
concerned. The Grange ‘principle-
“Let the ofilce seek the man, and not
the man the otllce”—-l-' worthy of com-
mendation, au.l should receive more
than a passing notice from the great
body of industrial voters in this land,
and until this is th». rule rather than
the exception, we need not look for
any great or grand improvement in
the discharge <1 nfilclal duties.

Farmers certainly need political
training and better knowledge of the
affairs of our government, and a clear-
er understanding of the duties which
we owe to the republic, and a more
earnest desire to discharge in a war-
thy rnanner the obligations they im-
pose. To secure this it is not neces-
sary that we thirst for oflice, nor that
we make the height of ourarnlyition
the possession of official honors, but
rather that we strive to become more
enlightened, better educated, and that
we vote for honest men, for principles
that we have every reason to bel.icvL-—--
after having thorougly and carefully
considered their merits, that will fa’-'
orably affect the interests of the mm:-:
es. If the Grange plan could be unl-
versally adopted, “that the ()fl:lv€
should seek the man and not the man
the ofllce,” “that none but faithful,
competent and honest men are nomin-
ated for ofli-ct.-‘," who will ui;fl'n:.cliil2g-
ly stand by 0. r industrial interests,
men who will lo their whole duty re-
gardless of party lash or party preju-
dice, we will have less cause for criti-
ci-m, less neell of investigating com-
mittees, and no use for the profession-
al politician. [n all parties lhe people
should see that only truly representa-
tive men are nominated, and then
holl them toa strictly individual, and
not party accoint for their actions.

Farmers can, if they will, exert a
very wholesome influence by becom-

jug better educated in all tb at pertains
to political action and in standing out :
boldly for men as well as principles,
fa hm, 9:3,: in the dischargl-fof pllbllc

duties as well as in the discharge 0- l
private ones. If all will unite in di--I

manding of ofllce-holders these quali-
flcatlons, then will the machine be
broken, the power of the “boss be de-
stroyed, and the real power be where
our forefathers intended it should be,
in the people. Most people are more
or less prejudicetl, and we as farmers
are no ext-eptltn, though the teaclilngs
in and of the Grange have done much
to remove thin prejudice; have made
it less bitter, less arbitrary. Still
there is too much prejudice and
bitter partisanship now, an-l a
careful invest; gallon of all the princi-
ples which the various political parties
of this land advocate, an investigation
carried on for the simple purpose of
arrivifi at truth, will tend toward a
better political education, toward more
intelligent action, and a more en-
lightened discharge of the duties im-
posed.

The Midwinter Century.

The beginning. of a new story by W.
D. Howells, in the llfidwinter (Febru-
ary) Century, is a literary event, whose
importance is increased by the discus
sion, in the past four months, of the
characters, ethical purpose and literary
qualities of "A Modern [il:s'4.1tl]C€ ”
Mr. Howells’s audience has been held
up to a high notch of curiosity to see
opening chapters of“A ‘Womams Rea-
son.” His readers will not be disap
pointed. The scene is once more Bos-
ton, but the social atmo.-phere and the
purpose have undergone a complete
change. Only the style remains lb»
same; but, here, too. the reader will
perceive freshness of attitude and a
new vlvaciiy. The fourth part of sh.-
“Led-Horse Claim,” by Mary Hal-
lor-lz Foote, heightens the dramatic in-
terests ofthis fascinating story, Whirl;
will end in the March number. lilacll i
part is embellished by:-i picture from
the author’s pencil. Mrs. Burnett‘.-

number is a humorous fanciful tale, l:-_-.-

The Future of Gas.
Gas is an institution of the utmost
value to the artlsinn: it requires hardly

any attention. is supplied upon rc;'ulat- ,

ed terms, and gives with what slzould
be acl_1cert'ul light a general \\':ll‘!lllll,
which often saves the liglltino: of :1 tire.
The time is, moreover, not for distant,
I venture to think, when both rich and
poor will lar_:_zel‘v l'\‘.<()l'[ to ;::x..= :15 the
most convenient. the clcuncst. and the
cheapest of heating :=.;_-‘cuts. and when
raw coal will be st-.cI1 onlyut the Colliery
or the gas-works. In all cases where
the town to he slipplicll is within, say.
thirty miles of the collcry, the gas-
works may with :ulv:ir1tage be planted
at the mouth, or. still better, at the
bottom of the pit, whereby all haulage
of fuel would be avoided, and the\ gas,
in its ascent from the bottom of the col-
liery. would acquire an onward pressure
suflicicnt probably to impel it to its des-
tination. The possibility of transport-

ing combustible gas through pipes for ’

such a distance “has been proved at
Plttsblirgy, where natural gas from the
oil district is used in large quantities.
The quasi monopoly so long eujoyell by
gas companies has had the inevitable
effect of the checking progress.

to give the Patrons of Michigan an opportu-
lil;_v to holong to

l. Home Institution of Life Insurance

that they could control. As its name indi-
cat=s, it is FOB Tl-It-l MEMBERS OF OUR
ORDER AND FOR THEM ONLY.

its Annual Meetings occur at the same
time aim place as the annual session of the
State Grange This fr-ature was for the ex-
press purpose of provid-ulg for a large repre-
sentation of the members of the Society at its
most important meeting of the year, when its
oificcrs are elected, and without special notice
any anlendment to the laws and rules govern-
ing the Societv may be made.

'l‘he Mnrusr. may adopted by this Society
provides that an Asscssmerlt shall be made
ON LY when :2 member dies. and the
amount of that assessment is tired when a
person becomes a member, and cannot be in-
creased at any subsequent period. This as-
sessment is graduatell according to age, which
is an important and listinctive feature of this
Societ_v~-one which should commend it to the
f:-.vorable consideration of Patrons.

If there are reasons why people should from
time to time pay a small sum from their in-
oome or their earnings, in order to secure to
those dependent on them in an hour of need 8
sum sufficient to bridge over the expenses and
wants incident to that most trying period of
life. those reasons hold good when applied to
the Patrons of our State. _ .
