Making Good Builer. Butter is finished in the dairy, but not made there. The stamp of the dairy wom-in puts the gold in market form; but the work must be com- menced in the field or in the feeding stables; and this leads at once to the consideration of feeding for butter. During the early summer months, when nature is profuse of favols there is little be done beyond accepting her bounty. The tender grasses are full of the needed nutrition, and they afford the constant supply of moisture, with- out which the secretion of milk is greatly lessened. Yet, at this seasln, as well as all others, a pure supply of water is absolutely necessary. It does not meet the requireme 1. if cattle haves wet hole full of surface drain- age in the pasture, or a frog pond. While it is not probable that the tad- poles and wrigglers, sometimes found in city milk, have been drunk by the thirsty cow, many infusions do exist in such pools that are hardly elimi- nated or rendered entirely harmless by the wonderful _miik secretions of the animal. The cattle should-drink from spring fed boxes; and as often as these, under the hot sun, are seen to produce green growth or floating gain, a pail of coarse salt may be ut in, and the current checked _untii he fresh water growths are killed; the salt water is then drawn off and for a long time the trough will lemain pure and the water bright.—Breeder’s Gazette.-.

A city home has its walls of stone, And its windows clear and fair; Its solemn parlor richly clad, Its hall and its dizzy stair. But it has no sides, where the loving sun May peep here and there all day; Its windows back look on gardens small, And in front look—across the way. But the little home where roses run At will over angles four, And a double share of the sunshine comes ’I‘o lie on the cottage floor; A home with its fragrant orchard side, And a side toward the Iorest. too; An outlook over the winding road, And one for the mountain blue.

He must be more terrible than cruel, that the oxen be not worn out and hold out for more years.

Cattle can exert them- selves and use greater efforts, with their necks and breasts, than with their horns; they try and strain with the whole hulk and weight of their body.” “Tl-e ploughman, who gov- erns the oxen, must walk upon the plow ed ground, and at every other turning, hold the plough obliquely, and, by turns, to furrow with a strait and pull plough, so as not to leave in any place the ground unplowed and unmoved, which is what husband- men call a balk. When the oxen come to a tree, he must keep them in strongly, and make them step slowly, lest the ploughshare, being driven with greater force against the root, give a shock to their necks, or lest the ox strikes with violence with his horn against the stock of the tree, or touch the trunk with the yoke or break off a branch. Let him rather terrify them with his voice, than with blows; and let strokes be the last remedies when they refuse their work. Let him never provoke a steer with the goad; for it makes him pull back, and gives him a custom of kicking.

Its side lights dim through the trailing vines time, in parts, which when they have eaten up they must be led out to water and enticed to drink (from the goose pond we suppose) by whistling, that they may drink the more willingly.” Our ancient agricultural writer gives some quite correct notions about the different kinds of soil. ‘”l‘I.lere is no kind reckoned worse than that which is dry, and likewise dense and low; be- cause it is both cultivated with difli culty, and when it is cultivated it does not so much indeed as thank you.

He has sev- eral chapters on the mode of culti- vating each species. Certain seeds were likely to fail but if the seed bask:-t were covered with the skin ofa hyena the seeds will grow up and conic t.. perfection. Here is one idea quite in advance of the common practice of our farmers the present day. The reader must re- member in the following quotation that "corn” does not mean Indian corn, but wheat, barley, etc. “When the come are cut down and brought into the threshing floor We should even then think of making provision of seed for the future. Where the corn crop is but small we must pick out all the best ears ofcorn and of them lay up our seed. On the other hand when we shall have a more plentiful harvest than ordinary. and a larger grain, we m..st save the largest grains for seed. They believed that beans consumed the strength of the earth less than other seed, and placed great stress on the influence of the moon in various operations. “We lay it down as a pre- cept from our own experience, viz: At the change of the moon pull your beans before daylight. Then, when they are fully dried, before it be full moon, beat them out of their pods and after they are cooled bring them into the granary. Wt en they are laid up in this manner they shall suffer no damage from the weevil. It is proper that the lentil be sewn in the middle 0: the seedtime when the moon is in her increase till the twelfth day.” “Linseed must not be sown unless it brings a great increase and the price it bears invites you, for above all other seeds it is hurtful to lands. Vetches must not be committed to the earth before the twenty-fifth day of the moon, otherwise we commonly find that the snail hurts it after it is sown.” W. J. BEAL. Wash for Fruit Trees. The Practical Farmer, speaking of ii. wash for bodies of fruit trees, recom- mends the following: On- ounce of cop- peras to eight or ten gallons of water forms a good wash, and is advised. for trial as a preventative against blight. One pound of bleacher’s soda and one gallon of water forms a wash that cleans off all insects and leaves the trees with ers. for such lands are not in a coiidi ' Ungalhered Wealth. ing from the hidden storcllouse of prodllct of till‘ furlu lll'l)llglil. l>el'o1'<,-. tll (:ll1‘lllg()l1(’]Il‘<)llll(tl i'l'oln \v;l.‘p(A‘1)})I)l'llll!lllt‘S are ol‘tvl1tlll'ow1li1lou1' way illlil pass by We clillliot in our SllUl‘i Elllllilt‘ spunk oitllu l.l‘l‘2li.ill(‘lii of t.’?l(,'il vul'i<-ty of i'1'llil or wgl-1:il>l<=.l>llt will Ul1l_\'Ill(‘llllUll tin‘ ilpplv l)e<'2Lllsv lllust colllnloll :lll<'l llsvt'lll,:il1, but the llalullilig. ’l‘l1cscasoli is too early for Cl(lt‘l', besides ill the lulsllc of .~‘:Lvillg the \\'llc:it and corn tllv apple cannot be attellded to or a few of the best might be gzitllered for drying on boards or strings to give us some for the coming winter. and in a few short lnolltlls we heal" the provident llousewife s'.iy,Wluit shall we have for diiinei":‘ Nothing but bread. lneut and potatoes, and potatoes, lllezit illlli bi'e:ul, and \\'t:lle‘rl1"tll-“ furlllr-l's my tllllt the ()1‘(th.‘ll'tl nilist bl: cut. zivvuy to furilisll room for u lllI.;1'H pl‘trlll.itl)ltt crop.

The time has come when an abun- dant fruit crop can be made to pay a large dividend on the investment and the inquiry is, how shall I save my Wtlstlllg fruit. Tile evaporator is fast cominginto gellerul use to save crops as well as the surplus. In 1880 there was a full crop of fruit east. west, nortll and south, in Canada and ill Europe, so lnucli fruit every- wllere that apples were almost; of no value in the orchard. The farmer could find no market tllatwould pay more for apples than cost of gathering and mar- keting. Many men in New York State put in evuporators and Worked up their entire crop, held the evaporated fruit till July or August, 1881, and received 12% cents per pound. While the best apples were worth only 10 cents per bushel de- livered at the evilporzltor, in 1880 they made seven pounds eva.pora.ted fruit, at a cost for e raporutillg of 10 to 12% cents per bushel equals 91 cents.

That is right and most desirable. But, on the other lleilld, much evil comes of this excessive praise and false statenlent in ad- vertising, particulzwly any new or excellent variety of grain or pro- duct we may wish “to put on tile market.” lVitll this class plziiil truth will not do. They must st-:u't with the superlative, and, us a matter of collise, end with most extrzivagallt exaggera- tion. A good killd of potato, or corn or fruit, will tell,its own story the best.

From .Fa1‘go norlhwaril, down the lied River Valley, is the coldest place in the l'11iti‘-.1l hftates, and, in fact, one of the coldest regions in the inliabited part of the world. The win- ter temperature of Grand Forks is probably lower‘ than that of St. Peters- burg and the severity of the climate is surpassed only by a few remote towns in l\'ort.l1ern Liberia and by the places The whole. Red River country is a part of ‘she great Arctic slope which extends northward to the frozen ocean, and as it is wholly removed from the influ- ences of the oceans on the east and the -‘west, its climate i11 winter is only a slight modification of that which pre- vails in the solitudes of the Frigid Zone. Such disadvantages these, l1ow- ever, are mere trilles, when it is known that the summer, though short, is sulfi- cient to develop enormous crops of wheat, and that the soil while in its virgin state seems almost inexhausti- .ble, and above all that the railroads f ur- nish ready transportation to the mar- kets of the world. The latter consider- -ation, regarding transportation, is the foundation of the whole structure. No matter how cheap the lands, or fertile - the soil, all advantages are valueless without the railroads. A climate like ‘ that of Greenland is hardly noticed by people who are making themselves _ rich. Such a country is peculiarly depend- ent upon cheap transportation. Its ag- ricultural wealth is all that it possesses and that is largely concentrated i11 one crop. Almost the entire product of labor and capital must be transported over great distances and nearly all sup- plies except what is derived from the one crop must be shipped back over the same route. In many parts of the country even the wheat which the pro- ducers consume must undergo, a double traiisportation before it can be marle :1i‘ailal1lei’o1‘ iisc. .\l1111y of tlii,-.-'1: 111111- ciiltics will 1l«-11l1tl1~.s‘sl11-11l1\‘i:111-il in 1'11- ‘iui‘i- )‘i‘ill'>'.

This poor butter business is not all to be charged up to the farmer’s wife by any means. We are glad to see creamers and wont even find fault. with new kinds of churns. The whole subject needs agitating by churning or otherwise until less of the product of the cow is ruined by but ter-makers. A new fruit evaporator, the American, gave us a favorable impression as practical for farmers’ use on comparatively 9 small scale. We have referred to churns but not ina. descriptive way, and shall not only to say there were two, quite un- like the old dash churn that We used to work under protest in our boyhood. One of these was a swing churn, and the othera sort of spring churn, and if the owners want us to say anything more about them they will, of course, advertise with us.

Sweet, at Grand Rapids, Michigan, was tl.‘1e“O~3bo1‘n Twine Binder. The place in which the trial was held, had every variety of surface soil and condition ofground. The machines traversed up and down or along steep side hills through tall,sb.ort lodged and tangled grain and through beds of sand. It was admitted that any machine that would cut and bind in that field would cut and bind anywhere that grain could be sown. The Osborn cut and bound well under all these circum- stances. These binders together with :1 full line of reapers and mowers are manufactured by D. M. Osborne & 00., Auburn, N. Y., with extensive ware moms in Grar-d Rapids. Michigan, and all other important points in this country. The Osborn has in the last year made several important improvements in the binding appartus that has over- come the several annoyances to which all machines have heretofore been subject. Their new Appleby Binder has been improved a‘ d perfected by the various appliances and inventions of Mr. Osborn. Thus by a. simple movement of a single lever the binder is shifted ba‘~k and forth. The driver in his seat while the twine is in motion is able to change the binder in an instant so that it will bind long or short grain in the middle of the bundle any grain that can be elevated. Another great advantage is that the space at which the bundle is die- charged, is greater than that at which it is received. making the discharge easy and unobstructed. In case there should be any clogging at that point from extraordinary circumstances, the packer, acts as a second trip, at any degree I presume greater than that required to operate the trip proper. Another advantage, 3 spring is so arranged that if any obstruction prevents the point of the needle from reaching’ the position necessary to the perfect binding of the bundle, the spring will so relieve the pressure that the needle will readily reach the required position and will not fail to bind. . . , _ _I been that under certain clrcumstanccslof June this year.

Success in such a case must depend on other memb-.--rs who are unwilling that time and opportunity shall be lost. Never lose sight of the fact that the farmer has much to learn about his own special work in its several departments. To the thoughtful man, the great un- explored field in this domain of dis- covery stretches out to the horizon of sight, and the Grange presents an open door through which allareir.- vitcd to enter and by an exchange of ideas contribute to the irnprovemnet of the individu l, the Order, and the State. THE Newark Machine Comany re- presented by H. B. White general agent, had on exhibition at the School- craft fair May 2-1 and 26 the improved Keller drill. This is a very complete machine, sows seed as small as onions to the size of beans without change of gear. It has a force feed and its most remarkable features are simplicity of construction and effectiveness work. There is also a fertilizing at- tachment that must be valuable for the purpose designed. The same com- pany had on exhibition a hayrake that looked like a good implement.

Green’s claim: From the evidence in the cause it appears that in the summer of 1861 Nelson W. Green was a resident of Cortland, N. Y.; that he was engaged in drilling and organizing volunteers for the army, and especially in con- nection wit the Seventy sixth regi xuent ofNew York infantry, of which regiment he was appointed colonel; that whilst thus employed his atten- ‘tion was called to the subject of pro- curing pure water for the we of his ‘men. and that he set about to devise a ~means by which water could be read- ily procured from beneath the surface access to the ordinary sources of sup ply when in the presence of the ene in . The patentee himself testifies that in :the summer of 1861 he had devised in his own mind a method of accomplish- ‘ing this result, which he explained ‘first to his drill squad, and then to the officers of the regiment. and which consisted in driving a rod sharpened at the end into the ground and into the water bearing stratum, then with drawing the same and inserting a tube through which the water could be drawn by an ordinary style of pump. As a test of the method pro- posed, under the direction of Col. Green an experiment of driving a rod down. to the water was made near his lowed by driving a well at the fair grounds at Cortland, at the expense and for the use of one Graham, who h;.~l the contract for furnishing food and other supplies at the camp on the ‘fair grounds. This well was driven between the 1st and 15th of October, 1861,and was u:-~e«'l generally by the men in camp, as well as by Graham and his c-mployes. W’hen the regiment left Cortland. N. Y., Col. Green exercised no control over this well. Later, a large number of driven wells were made and used in and about‘Corl;land and neighbor- ing places during the years 1862, 1863, It was claimed that edge of the existence of these wells "but on this point the decision of the federal court asks: “Was not Col. Green bound to know that the natural result of what he himself had done. and had caused to be done, in the way of giving pubiicil y to the success which attended this mode of making Wells, would be to spread their use by ““llr', be promptly pre- ' "esult by procuring a “ow be heard to ‘ZOVV nor have . e use :;f wells - to by an airtight connection. i_ in bis own facts show atural result -are not left is question, ”)W1flg satis- |publ.l- ». existence of a portion at least of these wells, and despite his own testimony, wherein he endeavors to destroy the weight « 1 this testimony either by di rec-V. denial, or by claiming that he did not in not recognize certain well- which came under his notice L.» in- ,*"'iven well.--, yet we think tl1€*pl‘<’l',:()ll za .. rw -ifevidence is again-it him on ;i. .4 : : ~ositlon, and that it must Ln ll -1 . 2 at he knew that :-:ur'h wells ar» re l.; «lg made and used.

Grcen’s purpos-.- 1.. -'1» .' -dig his method of driving well-. w..~: t-- l‘ rnish a ready means whereby {hr 2..ei: of his regiment could procure:-. supply f pure water. and that he dlil not ati lt lime contemplate procuring a patent therefor, and that he put his Inethm: .-E driving wells into public use in 1861. ‘or the benefit of his regiment, and the rsby dedicated or abandoned his inventi :1 to the pliblic. 2. Ti. r. his invention was in open and so. with his knowledge and ne- se. for more than four years be fore he pplled for a patent thereon. From these conclusions of fact it necessa. ly follows that the letters pat- ent originally granted, and the revised letters based thereon. must be held in valid and void. II. It is also urged on behalf of de- fendants that the reissued patent en- larges the scope of the original patent. is broader in its terms. including im- provements and principles not contained in the original specifications, and is therefore void. - The court then considers of what Col. Green’s original invention consisted and under this head says: In the opinion of Judge Benedict in the Cannan case. cited at length by complainants, it is stated that, “the novelty consists in mak- ing the well pit to consist of the tube or a pump connected tightly with the earth; this is accomplished by driving into the earth the tube to be used as a tube of a pump. and at the same time as the pit of the well. This manner of in- serting the tube renders it possible. by means of a pump attached to the tube o create a vacuum in the pit of the well, and at the same time in the w:iter-bear- ing stratum of the earth." In the printed argument of counsel for complainants it is said that "the drive well invented by Col. Green left no open space between the lining and the suc- tion pipe. and is based upon the princi- ple that if a vacuum is formed in the earth at the ordinary depths by the ac- tion of the suction pulnp the atmospher- ic pressurc communicated through the earth to the water will cause it to re- spond to the vacuum produced within the well. whose lining is itself the suc- tion pipe of the well, and perfectly air tight. the earth serving as a filter." It is not necessary to extend these quotations to show that the principle, which it is claimed constitutes the dis- covery, or invention of 001. Green, as described, the reissued patent is that the production of a vacuum in the earth by means of an air tight tube driven in- to the earth. to which is attached a sua- tion pump, will greatly increase the sup- ply of water. To produce this vaculim it is neces- sary that the tube l'ormin:.r_ the lining of the well should be in such clzm-.> concoct. with the surrounding sum: as to be alr- tight, and it is claimed that driving the tube into the ground, whether with or without llrlgiilally perfo. sting the earth with 1). rod, :-:-oustitutcs a mode of con- sti':1.=3l:ing a wail, which practically re- suits in producing a. u-.~l'i, wh-use lining; ——t.'_> wit: the tube. ii in r.i.-..i-gilt con- nection with the earth. in other words, in order to successluily apply ll-..-A. prin- ciple, it is :il)S()ll1tr;lY essenriul ll.-"it the tube, iorniivg the lining of the well. should be in such close C0l:lL‘.Cl- with the earth that the air cannot pass down around the outside of the tlillc. and the pump used in drawing up the water must also be attached to the end of the tube by an air-tight connection. Unless both of these conditions are fulfilled if is impossible to create a vacuum in the tube, and about the portion of it insert- ed 111 the Water-bearing stratum, and, as the creation of this vacuum is the essen- tial and only means of applying the principle, wliibh. it is claimed, consti- tutes the chief merit of Col. Green's in- vention or discovery, it follows that, in order to protect such a discovery by a patent, it must be included within the specifications. This may be done by either a proper description of the result to be obtained, or of the means employed to accomplish the result; that is to say. it would be suflicient if it was stated that by the use of certain prescribed means a vacuum in and about the tube would be created, and thereby the sup- ply of water would be increased, or if it was stated that the tubing of the well was so driven as to be made air-tight by contact with the surrounding earth, and the pump to be used was aflixed to the tube by an air-tight oonnection,the means described. In the latter case the result reached or the principle put into opera- tion would not be described. but as the means described must necessarily pro- duce the result, or apply the principle, it is held insufficient to describe the means employed without specifying the principle which is thereby brought into play. Indeed, it is not necessary that the inventor, to be entitled to a patent. should hiznslsll understand the abstract principle which his invention brings into use. It is sufficient if he is the inventor of a means whereby a new and useful application of the abstract principle is brought about. Still. as already re- marked, it is necessary that in the pat ant and specification the new and useful application of the principle must be de- scribed, either by setting forth the result obtained. with the means of its accomp- lishment, or else by such a description of the means employed as will if fol- lowed necessarily produce aresnlt which embodies the practical application of the principle involved. The court then gives Col. Green’s de- scription of his invention, and adds: There is not to be found in any part of the specifications any reference to a vac- uum, either in or out of the tube, nor any mention of atmospheric pressure created thereby. If the application of this prin- ciple formed the material and all-import- ant part of Col. Green’s invention in 1861, as is now claimed in argument, he certainly failed to set it forth in express terms in his specifications forming part of the original patent. nor can it be in- ferred from the description of the means to be employed that he then proposed to create a vacuum by making the well air-tight, and by attaching a pump there The c«:=urt also holds that the reissue departs wild- qtl:c.s.v L ly from the original. fine MILWAUKEE wnnns. It also accepts the evidence offered showing that the same style of driven ledge of the well was in operation in Milwaukee, Wis., in 1849 and 1850. The decision concludes in these words: "Th:-se wells driven at Milwaukee enn- not be set aside as abandoned expert rnent.-. Plirdy testifies that he was en- gage-rl in sinking them as a regular busi- ness. Numberl.‘-.vere put into practical use. This l'(fi::LllDODy remains uncor:.trs die-.‘e«3, and l‘: 3:; not claimed that these wells "ll'-- ‘-1 myth. It‘ then it be true that in 1819 and 1850 wells were driven at .‘.-Iilwruikc-.e by a process not distill- pgliie-il;i1‘o!e from that llevisecl by Col. Green in 1861, and these wells were driven not as mere experiments, nor for the purposes ofcxhibition, but for pub- llc and continuous use, and from aug'1': i..lw shown may be in use to-day,r_-:11: l1'J_‘s‘ other conclusion be reached thal- that Go]. Green was not the original or lirstiuveniur of the process of driving Wélla »1e:~:(-.i~ibn-l inhis specifications? In our judgment the method pursued in‘ sinking these wells at Milwaiikcc is the samc in substance as that devised by ljol. Green, differing only in minor par- ticulars, und hence it follows that Col. Green’:-l process for driving wells was only a reproduction of a method ivhich had been devised and put to practical use fully 10 years before Col. Green hit upon the same expedient. If this be true then it necessarily results that the -lefense of want of novelty must be sus- tained. The conclusions we have reached upon the -points already discussed ren- der it linncc:-ssary to consider the other que.stio.v:=, including that of infringe- ment. which are presented in the record. Under the view we have taken of the case it follows that complainants’ bill must be dismissed with costs, and it is so ordered.” Since the decision in the Iowa cases, Judge Harlan. at Indianapolis, has refused to grant an injunction on the application of the patente-s. The fact is reported in a dispatch to the New York Times as follows: Associate Justice Harlan this l1iorn- ing refused an injunction asked by the patenfees of the Green driven well against the Viers, on the ground that such an injunction would not help the plaintiffin any way, and its only ef- fect would be to seriously damage the defendants by prohibiting them from using their wells. He said that the decision ".~fJudge Gl'€::h8l'.‘[] sustaining the prltent, which was affirmed by all equally divided court, mu~4t remain as a decision for this district until he >~‘l:;pl'emc Court had deoidell olhv rwlse in some othcr'ca=-e. There was ::ir+,-ady a c:-;.-e from the New Jersey district ml thr «locket of the Supreme Court, in» volving the validity of the Green pat- ent. This p item question is a matter of the utmost illterhst in this state, there being fully 50,000 wells and a royalty of $10 being demanded. Mr. .\IcDonald is the attorlil-y for the pat- elites, and in the northern part of the stste particularly, that fact is b. ing u-«real against him with the farmers.

It. is estimated that 154,- 067653 acres were donated by Congress to Slate and Territories and to corpor- ations from June 30, 1850, to June_30, 1880, contingent upon the construction of various railroads. But as only about 4-3,000,000 acré s have as yet bean actually patented to railroad compan ics more than 110,000,000 acres are still held in reserve to await the fulfillment of contracts, most of which have a!- ready failed of completion in terms. 'I.‘il81"'«'3 are-. said to be not less chair 100,- 000,0«~l) acres of land held by .railroad companies on which the payment of all taxes is evaded by the device of not calling for the patent until the land has been surveyed and sold. The taxes begin to run when the settler comes into possession. ; but the rich railr’-ad corporations decline to pay a dollar of taxes on such lands. These - oils, is (‘-'.’I‘tllll1ly data go to show the extent to which a large part of the public domain has been frittered away. They also show hat a reform in this matter is neces- szlry. _t may be assumed with confi dence that the last land grant has been made by the Federal Government to any railroad conzpany or other corpor- ation. No mllninistralioll could now :2»-;over from the stignia of an exten- .-'i vc land grant to any corporation. The ion uiauce of cheap and fertile laud in this country ha nlade agricul- ture Uil“ ice.

Our coal and iron, those two principal essen- tials of a manufacturing; people, are practically llleXI13llSl.ll)l‘.3, and not on- ly lie near the surface, but in very many localities lie together. Such fa- vorable condltions exist nowhere else. The thinking men of the world recog- nize the situation, and Mr. Gladstone has been frank enough to tell Erg. lishmen that the centre of the world’s commerce, manufactures and economic prosp.-rity in general is drifting across the Atlantic. England who has to go two thousand feet and more under ground for her coal and iron, in spite of cheap labor, can not excel us much longer. It is only a question of time as to when we ma command the markets of the worl . In addition to the ease with which we can get our coal and iron we have the advantage of cheapness of food.

Miss Beach's British Lover. It was on a lovely morning in May that a very dapper young gentleman sfood leaning against a tree in the woods that then. as now top the :2 ck- hilled Palisades ovs.rlo“-king the lordiy Hudson. He was attired in all the bravery of silk, and powder, and ruf lies, and at his feet lay half a dozen v:;lumes on which an army of ants were marching with a «lire.-ctness of purpose that caused great events in wfil-lanal later on. From the pose of this belriced young genllenian and the (-are which he wok Lo adjust the l‘llifl€‘S ovcr hie. wiislh:.~.ld as it dangled the e‘l)\)Wl?:J.lllI]gEg3ll!Ef the tree, it was quite evident that be was waiting for one of that sex Wlll1'lI has ruled the VVOfl ! since Eve ate that l‘lI(llgl':'.“tll).'€‘ apple. He was a handsome youth, to whom powdcl‘ became handy, and like most handsome youths, he was perfectly aware of being a handsome youth. “Shecolnes!"hesaid bravely. “Pi.-=h! I wish that my heart would not rap so against my ribs, and I know that I am becoming Dale.” The rustling of bushes and brambles announced an approach and in a couple of seconds a bright, fair-haired, blue- eyed, rosy-checked, cherry-lipped, maiden stepped up to where the ants were marching over the books. “I am a little late, George.” she said, after half a dozen kisses had passed be- tween them, “but I couldn’t help it; for a lot of gentlemen came to see papa, and I had to sce after the refreshments for man and horse.” “Company at the Manor Jae?" “Not exactly company, Georg e; but you see, papa is very determined against the iron rule of England. and I fear—” here she dropped her voice—— “that there is going to be rough work, for one of the gentlemon spoke of rais- ing a regiment, and--” "What nonsense, Jac! VVe are very well off under British rule. There are -lways peo le ready to eomplain—aI- ways grum ling. Surely these gentry do not dream of independence-.‘.“’ “And why HUI?” replied tlic girl, al- most haughtily. her short upper lip curling, her thin nostrls expanding. “Stutl'an:i nnnsen-e, Jae!” “I don’t. see why we should nub- niit-—” “You little r-;be.!” he imr‘-it out. mu:-L s.op .-ucll L-lcditious ltlzlg-rage." And he did so in that way which is usual in lovers. George L'E-‘9..r:-.ngL- was Llie mm of Sir Henry L .I<].-tralige, an Eligllsll gs-1: lcinnzl ofhirth, who had come over Ill the capac:l_y of private secretary to the Governor. Having met a very beautiful young l:-dy, whom he espoused contrary to the wishes of the old haronet in Eng- land, who was as proud as he was care- less, Sir Henry settled in America where he made a small fortune in the cultivatrion of tobacco. A friend, to whom he had loaned a thousand pounds, having did and left him a props-rty on the Hudson in lieu of lhe cash, Sir Henry migrated to the “Manor,” where he lesided in good style with his lady, one son, George, one daughter, Jaciuline, and a numer- ous retlnue of White and colored ser— vants. Adjoining the manor was the prop- erly of Ephraim Bence a worthy mer- chant of Gotham, between whose only child and George L’Est.range sprang up that mutual feeling of feverish de- light. commonly known as love. Mr. Bence did not at first oppose George I_.’E-itrailge’s imiiiiiioy with his dnilghter, ‘out of late his anti—Bril,ish feeli g vrvcame so intense that he po- litely informed the young man if he wished to avoid hearing that which he could not stomach he would cease his visits. Every day the great spirit of Indo- pendence was ingaged in upheaval and George was compelled to take this hint of the sturdy American. ‘ We must meet elsewhere, darling,” he said, and as the woods which sepa- rated the two domains, and every path- way was known to the two lovers, a particular beach tree was destined to become their trysting-place. Insensibly, but by degrees, Jacquline Bence felt the s irit of patriotism bud- ding in her fresh young heart, and at length came a pang of sorrow that her George could take no part in the great work that was now so steadily pro- gressing. George called her "rebel.” She by dubbing him All could retaliate “tyrant.” A few skirmishes, and it was mutu- ally resolved never to refer to the sub- ject of independence, but somehow or other it would crop out, when Ge-orge’s tone was one of insulting superiority, J acqueline’s that of insulting determi- nation. On these occasions they would vow never to see each other more, and the girl would return to her home, her eyes red from weeping, and her heart sorer than her eyes. Mr. Bence one day summond Jac- queline. “My child, ” he said, “you are Amer- ican born and raised. So am I, so is your mother. Now, your blood is too good, your heart too honest to let you act the part of treachery to your country.

Thus with railroads united ito take all your produce will bear, for icarrying it to market. the merchants , nited to pay about what they please = r it when it gets there. What will -’ on do about it.

The remedy is simple. co OPERATION wrLL DO IT. Toad Lane, Rochdale, England, is one of the least of those small 11:’. gra- cious streets, low brick houses, petty shops crcwded upon the steep and nar- row road, the visitor wonders what can have made the lane so famous. Some- thing less than forty years ago a few poor weavers agreed to club together to buy their groceries and other neces- saries of life, at wholesale prices, to sell them out the same as other deal- ers, and divide the profits among themselves. They hired a room in Toad Lane; they were their own salesmen, and did their business in the evening after their day’s work in the mills, they persevere»; and D1‘0SD9l‘8d. i111‘ proving their system as experience taught them how.

SAMUEL VVOOLDRIDGE. ‘-he ll’-Hi Communism in the United States. To the Editor of the Grange Visitor.- ——Communisu1 in the United States is the title of an article in the May num- ber of the North American Review, by Prof. Alexander Winchell, of the Michigan University. The article is marked by the author’s peculiar, scold- ing style. He makes a blind and headlong attack upon what be con- ceives to be the various forms and manifestations of communism in this country, and in so doing he discusses subjects of which he is evidently in entire ignorance. It is to be obsezved in all of the I-‘rofee.-or’s dircussion Lf piil.]icqu(-stioiis that lie is, rut of all }»:‘.li€-nee with the -lupidity of those pi-Ople who persist. in refusing to see things as hesees tlr in. l{.- decides in a fe-.'.' se-n€u:nccs 2.»-zl bl-yond appeal '.ii:-at of tire great and sq luring ques- tions )fl!10lleI‘l]I.liI.1C_S. He announces the absolute and éinal determination of suc.-ll questions as the employment ofcou'.'i l l‘.l}f_);‘ in oi1r:;t».te penitentia- rios, the issue of paper currency by the gave:-nrnent, the free coinage 01 L-llvel‘ dollars and the taxation of bank- ing institutions. It is curious that the:-‘e qus-stions are still subjects of coniroversy among apparently intelli- ger.-t people while the professor knows all about them aid is ready to set forth the true doctrine in every case. He-._l9€-,8 not propose to Waste many words upon those who have the te- merity to dispute his conclusions. “R-H’-a'0lllIJ_u,',” i-c s:-ye, "takes no hold on them. Bony scaled as the alliga tor-gar, they are vulnerable to no ar- gument.” * *7 As well de-‘ monstrate the Binzmial Theorem to a mule. Yet such lunativscaéfi. ballots‘ and labor by every means to secure a numerical m>—:jority and force their hair brained, thrice-exploded project.- on the intelligence and the business interests of the nation." In the same confident manner, the learned author takes up the subject of “Grangerism,” as he terms it, a topic of which he knows about as little as he knows of the philosophy of a re- publican form of government. “Gran- gerism,” he says, “is mild trade union- ism on the farm. It has its fancied wrongs to right and its crude methods for righting them. Its leading effort has been, through gross weight of numbers, to force legislation in its own interests. It seeks to impose burdens on railroads, banks. and man- ufacturing corporations. It establishes so-called agricultural colleges, con- ceiving such institutions to be simply high schools for the education of far- mers’ boys as a class. It guards with jealous eye all expenditures for higher learning, for science, art and public enterprscs. Fear of its numerical strength overawes public officers, and whips into subserviency the ag gregate Wisdom of our Legislvtures. It has the hue of communism. It is unwilling to leave business to spon- taneous adjustment through the oper- ation of its own laws. It fl'8.l}l(:S its demands under the promptings oi greed, and not on the basis of eco- nomical science. It is deaf to the wisdom of philosophers and states- men, and enforces its will by the acci- dent of a majority. This is the spirit of American communism. These as- suredly are not the controlling mo- tives of most of our farmers; but they are the motives which prompt the Granger spirit in the class” These are certainly serious charges to be made in such an ofi‘-hand manner arm with no attempt at specifications O) proof. Such assertions are recklgsz and foolish in the extreme and it is shameful that the author should at tempt to give instruction to the intel- iigent l'e£‘.&l(-:1‘-r) of the.Nor$h .-lmcr/icon Review, upon a subject which he can no more understand than he can ap- preciate the genius and progress oi modern free insiitiitions. It is no!

Cobb: The Repumtion of the Grand Traverse region as a fruit sec- tion, having been fed by numerous newspaper articles and words of praise from the lips of pomological teachers, has bec~une a child of no inconsider- able size. This would naturally lead ayouug pomologist to expect. to find here a Jumbo in the line of fruit busi- ness, and for this reason . have been wandering about the Grand ’l‘r.=wer.-;e bay for the past week. The promised sizlit was liov-'i=vcr;-1‘: ways a little fllI‘Cl1_Pi‘l)I1. I :1!) not wish to detract from what lies ba--:1 ‘J.“.l'l in praise of this section, as as fruit xwrgion, for it is a graml place to gr. CV fruit Yet what has been s:.id and the inan- ner in which it was said would lead one to form 9?1n')I‘l‘.11ll‘ll'lC*.‘.*.>l about this fruit region. It is not 21 pe feet Eden here for the fruit gr-:2 yer. :1 >1‘ will one find here a wilderness of .-‘rill: trees. First there have been solnev.'liat en- larged stories told as to the size of the orchards and the amountof fruit here raised. Jadge Raxnsdell near ’_l‘r..v-c-rse city has an orchard of about fifty acres, composed mainly of apple, peach, and plum trees, with some cherry and pear trees. In about halft-.29 orchard the {find is too uneven for the trees to «Er, ‘very well. The new Mission fruit farm, ‘which was sold last week for seven thousand dollars, 2lltlJO;l,g‘l.| it coutslz.-:6 abeait 410 acres has only about sixty acrz s of ap ple trees the most of which are young. At Old Mis.-.lon the Geo. Parznelee place wassaid to be the great wonder of the age in the fruit line, and all along‘ my route to this place I was told thatl would there find -100 acres out to fruit, and that every kind of fruit that could be grown. was lhcre raised. But on arriving there found only 116 acres of fruit 100 of apples, 13 of peers and about three acres of cherries. There are several other orchards on the same peninsula of about 30 acres, and quite a number of smal.er ones. The Geo. Parmelee place which was fitted up at a. cost of from 40 to 50 thousand dollars was sold a few weeks ago for 17 thousand. Comparatively little small fruits are raised. Several farmers had about five acres of strawberries and these were the old soul‘ Wilsons. I saw no rasp- berries or blackberries growln g and but very few grape vines. As to the climate of this region it can get cold enough when it tries hard, to do some damage. The winter wheat is nearly half killed on thetwo small peninsulas. Some wheat fields are being plowed up. Strawberry vines are about half killed on high grounds. The reason assigned for the killing of wheat, and the strawbs-,rry vines i that the snow blew off last winter. About six years ago many peach or- chards were killed bya hard winter and have not been rcplunted. Five acres of the apple orchard on the Old Parmelee place have i lack trunks and very small tops, while in the nine acre pear orchard nearly one-fourth «. f the pear trees have been destroyed from va- rious causes. Forty of the best apple trees in the center of 2 30 acre apple or- c“nard on one of the Lardie places were killed last winter. These were on the highest ground of the orchard, the hark of the trees loosened near the ground. Insects have to be fought here as well as in other parts of the State. Plum trees must be shook thoroughly for about two weeks. Eternal vigilance for the curculio is the price of a plum -22¢:-2-. here.

For apples, pears, L»~:‘u.t;l1t-K-1, plums, and cherries, there are good pr--firs her. for one who understands the fruit business and expects to work for what he gets. I would not advise any who have good fruit farms in the .-xmitlierz: part ofthe State to sell out and court- north. I think you can do as well where you are. But toone who wishes to start in the business, the Grand Traverse region offers many induce ments. yet do not get too high ideas, or expect to find all perfect. Yours fraternally, WM. S. Ssvm-:3.

No, it is pre- ll0~4lt’r()uS. We might as well attempt to “count the leaves of the forest" or “the sand on the seashore” as to esti- mate the damage done by this demon, whisky. Right here is a nut for Mr. B. or any other advocate of a tax law to crack. Because our laws against gambling and houses of ill fame are not 1»-tfectual to entirely suppress all such places, why hot tax them, and with the tax pay the damage done and endeavor to reform the gamblers and inmates of these disreputable houses? If one of tliose evils is to be allowed and protected, why not the others ? They belong to the same firm, only whisky is at the lit-ail. Mr. B. would la» "glad to have the liquor tax kept 5-:.~;:arate" mm the nthertaxss, Irina: cuulii be done it would speedily bring about a rcvolutioii in the !1quorbusi- ness. For am illustration we will suppose Bl". A. goes to his tax collector to pay his taxes. He finds them on the roll alwout as fi>llow:: Htalz: tux $5 00, (roun- ty 35W), lovvusliip $9.00, school $4.00 and liquor tax $15.00. Total $41.00. Mr. A. stares at the figures in aston- ishment and do mands an explanation. Ho desires to know what that means. He says why have I a $15 00 ‘liquor tax to pav. i" never use it. it is not allowed in my house or on my farm, It is an 0u!2'ag<- to lax me for what is no benefit Whatever to me. The tax collector in explanation says do you not remember that murder caused by whiskey which cost this county one thousand dr-liars-. Do you mil, know tlmt it costs this county one thousand more to pay the cost of arresting, try- ing and boarding drunkurds and mak- ing good the damage done by them. Are you not aware that the cost of caring for paupers in this county is gig-L-1{,{)1“ ten thousand dollars a year‘? You ought to know that three-l'ourtl1s' of all the crimes committed is caused by Whiskey. And the same proportion of paupei ism can be traced directly to the same source. Now why do not tax payers look at this matter from a fi- nancial standpoint iffrom no other and why will they suffer themselves to be robbed of their hard earnings in this way. Why will they permit, yes, author- ize a business so disreputable, a case with not even one good feature or re- claiming quality. A business degrad- ing to all connected with it. It should be outlawed and treated as the worst enemy of God and mankind. Why will not every good citizen rouse up and assist in beheading this monster who spares neither age, sex or condi- tion. Only a few days ago in an adjoining Staten drunken husband and father returned home from one of these li- censed hells and murdered his wife and child. And in ourvillage only the other day one of our most promising young men (but for whiskey the son of a. widowed mother took his own life or rather theliquor he obtained at one of our fashionable rum holes on Sun- day did thejob. Now who is respon- -sible for this suicide? These are not isolated cases by any means, our pub- licjournals are teeming with similar tragedies. And where is our remedy. Mr. B. says tax the dealers and make good the damage caused by the liquor they sell. Can he fix a price upon this young man's life? Will , taxing the dealer heal the lacerated heart of this widowed mother? or restore to life a murdered wife and child? D. WOODBIAN. ll’U!!(-_\’, l l n I Warts.

The greatest ditliculty was to secure a firm foundation for the tow- ers. To build these foundations below the bed of the level of tile river was a work of great magnitude. Wooden caissons were used to support the tow- ers of the bridge. A 03185011 is merely a. great box turned up. The Brooklyn caisson was fiiteen feet thick on the top, of large, solid yellow pine timbers, and the sides were nine feet thick and nine, feet high. The measuremeiit acro:-s the box from edge to edge was lllzxltic‘ feet. It was divided into six coinpairtnients, which were coniiecteii by r.-leans of d.-ors. This great box was niude watei'-tigl.'t and then anchored on the spot on which the tower was to stand. The c.ii:=;~on was protected from the river by ii coll}.-r 1.-in of piles and sheeting. ‘Ike we... oi‘ building the tow.-'1--1' on the 0al‘aS()il \s‘..:. ii: once begun and o:-zitinmd until e‘-_=.m;-,-‘L weight was on top of it to keep it on the river bottom. Tliero v.'+.-re large Wi‘ou;;l.t iron tubes or shafts in the root of the caisson through which earth and stones excavated on the inside could be taken c;i., and there was an air-lock for per- sons to enter the caisson. VVhen it was sunk on the river bottom the water was forced out of the caisson by compressed air, and men could go in and work. One pound of air pressure equals two feet of tide water, so for every two feet the caisson was lowered one pound had to be added to the air pressure inside. Gauges in the engine- room above indicated the height of the tide and the pressure of the air. The highest pressure attained in the caisson was 34 pounds to the square inch. 11] ad dition to atmospheric pressure. At that pressure a man could not whistle, and a candle blown out would immediately ignite again. Fresh_wate_r springs ap- peared. Beneath this caisson blasting and excavation went on for months. when a depth of 45 feet was reached. and the caisson was then settled on i-ockv foundation. The inside was then filled with broken stone and concrete until the whole thing was a solid mass; and then the work of erecting the tower went on rapidly. s0I.yING A GREAT ENGINEERING PROBLEM. Greater difficulty was encountered on the New York side, and the caisson was made stronger and bigger, and had to be sunk to the depth of 78 feet. Even at that depth soli 1 rock was not discovered. But iarzged points of rock stuck up here and there, amid a bed of quicksand. The points of the ledge which appeared only under one and of the caisson were levelled off and the quicksand was con- fined within 3}. wall of concrete, the whole area of the Clllsfiflu was filled with the same niaterial. lifter which the tower was em-.: 1 "(ill fiulslled like the one In I;!"]{-Hf:-.» were manv interesting incidents in -.—.,;.;— ' rk of building the foundations.

The cables could not so made and then lifted into place. The first wire was carried across by ii scow on August 14, 1876. It was lifted into place over the towers and fasteiieil to the ancnorages. A second wire was then run fl.Clu5<5 and the two were fa.-.-te.ni:d to- gether. making an endless wire running over driving wheels. It was then an casy matter to run across other wires, and ciilile-making really began on June 11. 1877. On August 25, 1876 11.‘. F.

In the course of the delivery of the wire in the bridge yard it was carefully tested and what failed to come up to the standard was rejected. It was afterward found that some of the rejected wire had again been delivered and was admitted into the work. Just how much of this was used no one can tell, but the engi- neers assert that there is enough extra strength in the cables to offset any weakness from this cause. ‘ When the cables were ready for their loads suspended bands made of wrought iron were fastened on at intervals of seven and one-half feet. To these bands were attached suspender ropes made of sheet wires. These ropes are made to hold 100 tons eaclv, but not more than 10 tons weight will come upon one of them. The suspender ropes hold up the steel structure which forms the roadways. On the approaches the width of the bridge is 100 feet. l:lere the wagon ways are paved with Belgion blocks, and L ‘S -..<:ciiii:;J. can Total length, 5989 f t. Height of Towers. 278 ft.

A menioriail signed by 200 lcafiingz citizens was sent to the legislritiire in 1579 ask- ing that the work be stopped, that the bridge would obstruct navigation and would be USUICSS.

After the closing exercises on the bridge, the presidential party drove to the house of CHIEF ENGINEER BOEBLING, in Brookyn and paid their. respects to the great but enfeebled engineer.

The .“ BEDE'rrE" is a soft, easy spring bed without springs or mattress, which is not true of any other spring be-l, whether folding or otherwise, whether cheap or expensive. It is a delightful warm weather bed, there being only one thickness of soft flexible cloth under the sleeper, thus giving an even cool temperature on all sides which can be regu- lated to suit the weather by putting the nec- essary amount of clothing under the sleeper. It is a well-known fact that a mattress ab- sorbs heat through the day in hot weather and gives it off through the night as the tem- perature becomes cooler, thus making it un comfortabl warm to lie on. causing restless- ness and o ten causing disease 'Not so with the “BEDETIE ; ” by leaving allclotlling from under the sleeper, he will be comfortably cool in the hottest Weather. This cannot be done with other beds as they must have some- thing on to make them soft. The “ BEDETTE ” is unequaled for sick rooms, as the temperature can be regulated from below as well as from above, tllu-1 obviat- ing the necessity of cooling the room by the use of ice in cases of fevers, etc. No iainily should be without one at least. It can be folded up to six inches square by its length and is es. sily put out or." the way when not in use and makes a lflf -ct bed in itself when wanted. Weighs only 25 pounds and is strong enough to hold the weight of three heavy men. Do not punish yourselves and chillren by trying to sleep on hot. musty matresses through the warm weather but procure “BED- ETTES ” and sleep peacefully and hcaltlifully. Price $3.00.

As its name indi- cates, it is FOR THE MEMBERS OF OUR ORDER AND FOR THEM ONLY. Its Annual Meetings occur at the same time and place as the annual session of the State Grange This feature was for the ex- press purpose of provid-ing for a large repre- sentation of the members of the Societ at its most important meeting of the year, w en its oflioers are elected. and without special notice any amendment to the laws and rules govern- ing the Society may be made. The Muruu. PLAN adopted by this Socis provides that all Assessment shall be mad ONLY when a member dies, and the amount of that assessment is fixed when a person becomes a member, and cannot be in- creased at any subsequent period. This as- sessment is graduated according to age, which is an important and iistinctive feature of this Society-—one which should commend it to the favorable consideration of Patrons. If there are reasons why people should from time to time pay a small sum from their in- come or their earnings, in order to secure to those dependent on them in an hour of need a sum sufficient to bridge over the expenses and wants incident to that 111083 ll ing pe1'i0d Of life, those reasons hold good w on applied to the Patrons of our State.
