LAWFUL WORK FOR HOLIDAYS.

The Romans ol».-'eI'ved many religious
rites and ceremonies and had some
festive days. It was the custom, at
certain times of the year, to lead sacri-
fices around their fields with great
ceremony and attendzmce, :md :1i'tc1'-
wards to offer ‘(hem up to Ceres, or
some other gods. with pruycixs that
they would p1‘ese-I've the fruits of the
ground from thunder, liglltciiliig,
storms, mildew, and 2111 other plagues
and rnisi‘o1't1IIlcs.

WHAT KIND OF vINi-: MAY BE PROPER
FOR EVERY SOIL AND CLIMATE.

Columella wrote two long books on
vineyards, wines, etc.,—more than on
any other subject. The Romans had
more queer notions about vines than
the Germans and English combined.
Some varieties they kept all winter in
vessels. He names about 40 varieties
none of which are familiar to us. They
knew more than many people of the
present day in regard to the evil effects
of overbearing. They planted vines
ten feet apart and had machines for
1nai'ki11g out the ground with exactness
and they knew "that :1 vi7:- ...u'(l newly
pl:mtc(_. iv?" syn: - llllJ \lcc..y mid perish
if it is il()L supported by great and
assiduous culture;" that certain
varieties in certain soils needed more
pruning than in other places. He de-
scribes several pruning implements
and says a draw cut is the best for
pruning. He tells how to plant and
treat chestnut" groves, plantations of
elms and poplar trees, to support vines.
Willows are not good, as they hurt the
taste of the wine. He names ten sorts
of olives. W. J. BEAL.

He that has not charity merits no
mercy.

oughf to be growing richer and more
p1'0spc1'ous than any other people in the
world. A few years ago we found the
f:u'mci' plodding on his way, Imziidcd
and alone, in coiupzmitive obscurlt_v.
There were colleges and tI‘:u'uing
schools that fitted men for all other
professions in life. This was consider-
ed indispensziblc before st:'u'tiug in
them. But it was thoughtthut 3. tiller
of the soil did not nced training, or
cducuting.—~—an,ybody could be u fa”/'2'/rm‘

And so it was for manly years, the’

bright O1‘ ambitious boys were sent to
college, and the dullurds were kept at
home on the f:u'm. But after awhile
theideu got ubrozid that education was
useful to u farmer, that it would even
cimble him to turn a better furrow or
dig a better ditch. That knowledge
was 8. power which he can use in his
business, as well as the lawyer in his
or the doctorin his. And in propor-
tionus he obtained useful knowledge
he became a better farmer. And as a
result of this improvement the news-
papers begun to notice him. zmd soon
the farm uud its interests got :1 corner
in the daily paper, :md as faruiiug be-
came Iuorc popular the editor bcggm to

send out their monthly and weekly
numbers freighted with knowledge of
the most successful experiments of
scientific experts, on practical husband-
ry, while each weckly and daily pa.-
per with its agricultunil columns filled
with fresh facts and experience from
the farm, goes out with rich lessons of
instructions to the innumerable read-
ers all over the land. Added to this
are the annual and semi-annual fairs
that exhibit the results of practical ag-
riculture and stimulate to renewed

efforts and greater achievements
in farm life, and finally to
secure the fullest zulva.nt:iges to

r av‘ an item headed “Who can beat
it?”

I can say I can beat it. I havea
cow that gave such a quantity of milk
that out of curiosity I weighed the
milk for several days this spring, and
she gave 90 pounds per day. She is
Alderney and native, and the milk is
extra good in quality. I think Mr.
Norris of Hillsdale will have to try it
again or own up beat. What do you

The Evolution of Butler Making.

rkinie 15 or 20 years ago, liowever,
the i':i<;tr.>ry system of cheese making
(}.."r'I_l€'li the way for the i11tIoI:?.Ilc'.i(.n of
ills: In:i:-lie-1' innovation, the butter
(j'l'6.‘.'lllE‘l"y. This was a new world ihat
sr.~pe.Iezi itself lo the invasion cf Ame: l-
mu l:x.v<=nlurs, and how they did ‘make
p¢.;.‘«'..~t~‘aSl0ll of it. 'l‘hcl'e were pm:-ht
mcthnvls of setting milk, innuuierablc
};{1L‘."1l‘: churns. butler workers, pack-
ages‘, and cans of every conceivable
form, pu‘:cL‘.t:s upon paLv:"t.s, until :0
.-Han dare use the suggestions of his
own mind for fear of infringing some-»
body’s patent. Terrific was the mental
labor in attempting to invent some
method for more conveniently and
rapidl_',: separating the cream from the
milk. From the deep narrow pail im-
mersed iu cool water to the large flat
pan that occupied half the milk room
ans‘ looking like ayoung pond of milk,
every thing was tried in vain to re-
duce the time to less than thirty-l:-ix
and forty-eight hours. A genius in
Sweden tried deep pans in a pool of
ice-water, and he succeeded admirably
in reducing the time of separating the
cream from the milk to twenty-four
hours. This plan was introduced into
the United States,s.nd a Vermont Yan-
kee conceived the idea of carrying the
system still further, and he submerged
the whole can of milk beneath the ice-
waler, and reduced the time of separa-
tion from iwonty-four to twelve hours.
All this simply went to prove that
there was one point that mastered the
necessities of all others in perfecting
the art of butter making. That was
based upon the acknowledged fact
that cream was a delicate and sensitive
I-.1.l.l’)S¥;>\llL"‘5, and that time was 8 vital
motor in its manipulation. Like the
most delicate of gathered fruits, it
rapidly ripens and decays. While our
inventors were trying to force this
separation by various methods of set-
ting milk, the experiments of Europe
hit upon the idea of a mechanical
method of accomplishing this end.
Cream being lighter than the skim
milk centrifugal force would cause the
heavier particles to seek the circumfer-
en ce, while the lighter cream would
remain in the centre. Thus the gen-
ius of man has annihilated time and
space, for we saw to—day a little ma-
c in e, called the De Laval Cream
Separator, that could be stowed away
in a flour barrel, whirl the cream out
of 70 gallons of milk, warm from the
cows, before it had time to cool. So

‘ modest and simple was the little con-

trivance that it is within the easy
reach of any dairyman who handles
a d( zen cows, and commands a single
horse power. Thus in butter making
the process of evolution has gone on.
The slow and toilsome ass of Nineveh
is superceded by the lightning process
f De Laval.

Treatment of Jersey Calves.

J. H. VValker iii an article in the
Comztry Gentleman on the above topic
condemns in slrong teims the high
.“(-eding of calves designed for dairy
I-took or any feeding beyond what will
keep them in a fair thrifty conditioii.
He says:

The younger the animal is when
ihis bad habit of making lle.-gh and
fat begins, the more (-oulrollmg it will
tic, and Ihe more likcly the animal
will be to transmit lhué habit to its ('fl'~
spring.

Nothing should be fe'd to bulls more
'-stimulalicg than good buy, died at
times :1 few 0:its..'-Ihorls, 01 both, with
coarser food, Plenty of course haw,
.-.tr:w.' and fresh grass even should be
given at time‘. The digestive organs
of a butter-bull, especially \v"-'acu
young, should be taxed and dis-
tended precisely as those ofa female
designed to produce butter. Heifers
should be fed nolhing but skimmed
milk, grass, rowen, good hay. coarse
hay, fresh grasznstraw, corn stubble, in
fact everything to distend and tax
their digestive organs, and with n th-
more stimulaling, before they drop

 

their first calf, than oats or shorts, or‘

similar food. The rule for keeping
heifers to make good cows, is rather
extravagantly expressed by saying:
“A heifer should have a pauucli large
enough to turn itself around in.”
Unslghtly as they are in :uch a con-
dition, such heifers make the best
cows. * * * The rule is to feed
just enough of such things as are
found necessary to keep the animal
ina. thrifty, growing condition and
no more——the less the better—and
never allow a. milk or butter animal
to lay on fat. Experienced dairyme :
never go into herds that are fat and
sleek for their cows. They know that
the feeding necessary to produce such
conditions in milk and butter animals
impairs their power to accomplish the
thing for which they are to be kept,
namely, the making of milk and
butter. Meat, not milk or butter, is
what they will ever after make. They
will “take better care of themselves
than of their owners.”

 

“FARMERS err very much when
they undertake to keep more cattle
than they have means to sustain in
the best conditiomespecially in winter.
The result is. their cows come out of
the stable in the spring weak and fee-
ble, aud struggle through ball‘ the
summer before they are in 9. condition
to yield milk in quantity more than
equal to paying expenses. Dairy cows
should at all times be in good condition.
They shculd receive their fund at regu-
lzur intervals; their milk should be

ALTOGETHER too many heifer calves
from good milkers are deaconed or veal-
ed. All such calves should be raised,
and by judicious breeding from them
adairy herd could, in the course of a
few years, be got together that would
yield a profit far greater than that now
realized from the ordinary dairy cows,
This sacrifice of heifer calves from
good milken s, and dependence upon
bulying to replenish the herd, is suicidal
p0 Icy.

IT is recommended that oats Lee
soaked;-ufficienlly to swell them be-

in proper condiiion at all times, but
mi lers are not partial to grinding oats,

paitly torn away, and facility 01 di-

As the celerv grows the leaves will
spread out in all directions, and have
none of the white and delicate texture
and zolor nfihe celeiy as seen on the
table or in the market. To produce
this whiteness and cri-puess the celer
needs to be “handled,’-‘ as it is terme .
When the celery is grown in trenches
this lileaclib-g is accomplishe‘. by 9.
gradual filling in of the trench, at the
same time bringing the leaf stalks to :1
nearly upright position. With the
last culture the celery is allowed to
get nearly their full growth, after
which t."e plants are “handled” This
is done about the middle of September,
in the latitude of New York. The
first step in this process consists in
giving the leaves an upward direction
'::_v getting them in one hand, when
they are held, while with the other
hand the earth is drawn around and
pressed closely about the leaf stalks.
In doing this care must be Iaken that
no earth gets between the leaf, stalks
and upon the tender “head” of the
celery plant. When the celery has
been thus “handled” it will appear vs
ifin small ridges. The plants will
continue fora time, when they are
prepared for the further work of
bleaching the celery. This is done in
Oct;ber, after the growth of the plants
is completed.

Light frosts do no harm to celery,
but hard frer.-zing is injurious. The
market gardeners either back up the
celery where it grew. 0'.‘ place it in
trenches for bleaching. The banking
consists in throwing earth upon t.he
sides ofthe glam, and banking them
fairly to their very tops. Celery thus
{rented will be ready for the table in
four weeks. If it i: desired to have
some ready for use in October. or early
in November, then the bank of a por.
tion ofthe celery may be done a month
earlier than the main crop.
'I‘heblesacl:ing may be more conven-
ient in l.l‘(-.‘ll(:llES. For this dig ditches
afoot wide, and deep enough to re-
- cive the plulits, which are taken
from the “handle" rows and placed
in the trenches as close together as
they can stand. This is usually done
in the month of November. The
whole is then protected from the cold
by a cover’ng of straw or leaves, and
this is increased as the winter comes
on, and the cold is more severe. If
one has a cool cellar the celery may
be packed in long boxes in it, the only
danger being from a too high tempera-
ture. Other methods of storing are
known: the main point being to give
the celery plants an even and cool
temperalure.—(J. Ellery, in Farmers’
Review.

HOW TO SAVE SEED CORN.

In the Jottings of the last niiuiber

‘we promised to prove ill this iSSlIB

that not oiicl'a1'l1ie1' in ten thoiiszind
knew how to save si.-ed corn. And we
shall now make t1i:it promise good as
near as we can.

The plan adopted by those who
think tlicy know, fails not so much on
account of ignoraince of a fact, as on
account of not thinking of the rela-
tion of that fact to the Clld1'£l.Ct€l' or
essential qiialitics of the corn used for
seed. _

What we are about to say is to give
as near as we can remember the state-
ment of Prof. Tracy, made at ii meet-

. ing of llorticiilturists in the city of

Marslnill in )[:ircli last.

Mr. T1'£l.(‘}' is :i f§l".ltlll&lt6 of the State
Agi'icultiii'2il College, and has given
to this subject of seed selection, ciircful
attention which, lJlll'l(0(l by it kiiowl-
edge of botany makes him as good
autliority pcrlnips as any 1111111 in the
state_ But his knowledge of botany
or his extensive experience in seed sc-
lection is not iicce;-sairy to a good un-
derstzindiiig of the iuiporauce of a
selection of seed grain based on known
and geiierally recognized facts.

That sexes exist in plan!‘ life is well

understood, and that the pollen from
the blossom on the tassel, to produce
-corn must fertilize the undeveloped
-cornbvcontzict with the silk of the
ear, is “ii. fact that has been repeatedly
proved by enclosing the silk end of the
ear with a cloth o1‘pal5‘31' Cover to P1'9'
-vent Contact of the silk with the falling
pollen. The ear thus protected has
no corn.

By the usual plan of selectiiig seed
corn the best and earliest ears are
saved and cared for according to the
experience of the fariner. The corn of
these cars so saved has been fertilized
-by pollen f1'()lI1 all kinds of stalks in
‘its neighborhood. The poor and un-
fruitful as well as the good, and, of
course the best conditions have not
been met. With this fact before the
fariiier what is the remedv. Simply to
apply the same law of selection that is
universally recognized in stock breed-
ing. _

We bring thoroiighbred stock into
this country and all know the good re-
sults that follow. _

As applied to corn the PFOCBSS 15
simple and inexpensive. 1<‘.1'st _Sel€Ct
afew acres of the best corn of your

-crop, and after the ear is developed,
and before the pollen begins to fall, go
through the field and cut the tassel
from every stalk that has no ear, and
from every stalk that has but a small,
poor, or imperfect ear, and thus prevent
the fertilization of good cars by the
pollen from poor, uiifruitful stalks.
By continuing this treatment for it
series of years, the Professor said he
had so improved his corn that nearly
every stalk had two good ears thus
largely increasing the yield. At the
same meeting Mr. Healy, of South Ha.-
ven related how a. neighbor of his had
improved his corn bycutting out all

stalks that were without ears before
the period of fertilization, and by fol-
lowing this plan of selecting with ref-
erence to the perfection of the stalk as
well as the car had continually." llll-
proved his com.

If this plan were adopted we should
hear no more about varieties Illllillllg
out and the importance zittaclicil to
changed seed would be very lllllifh di-
minished if not altogether set aside.
We hope and expect our ellt3e"p1'lSlllg
farmers will adopt this plan aiiid that
results will be reported to the Visi-
T01’. in due time. Tlic Professor told
us how to apply the tllf:0l'_V of selection
to seed wliczit. but our readers will not

.-Handing of the farmers of that vicini-
t y as above the average for intelligent
well-directed enterprise.

Little Prairie as its name indicates
has not size for very many large
farms, but its extent is measured
by neariy three sections and the land
around it for several miles south
and west that we saw during 3. three
hours drive, that Mr. B. favored us
with,is of excellent quality, this may
be set down as among the best ‘neigh-
borhoods in the Slate. In this drive
we called on the Hon. Milton Gard,
formerly a member of the State Board
of Agriculture. He has 9. splendid
farm and in proof that he does not
eschew labor it i.-rsuflicient to say
that we found him in a field «if Llill’.)'

hasahall of its own, not large, but
neatly equipped for intended use. For
two or three years this Grange though
not dead was really dormant because
of the fact that while there is no an-
tagonism between the Grange and the
Farmers Club, yet many members
of one are members of both and they
could not find time to give both the
necessary attention .0 mcintlan their
vigor and value.

The life of the successful farmer is a
busy one, and those who appreciate
the advantages of associated effort in
any direction are not likely to alnays
give to the work the attention necessa-
ry to maintain all those conditions
essential to permanance. ’1he work

always falls on the few and the
few sometimes get weary in well
doing. While the Club as we

understand has not been entirely given
up, the Grange now has more vitality
and is in better condition than for
several years.

In this ride of a. dozen (.l' more
miles with only good land on either
side we found the wheat generally
had a. good growth, some of it ;-.
little rusty; all of it with more

which we like to see, a week

before harvest, and the prevailing
opinion of the farmers on whom we
called, was that while the crop might
figure up fairly well in bushels the
quality will not be of the best.

Here, as elsewhere, a._ week of wet
weather had delayed haying and"dam-
aged that which the more venturesome
had cut.

Although the latter part of the day
was rainy and chiliy, with good com-
pauy and a good borrowed overcoat,
we had avery satisfactory ride. Drop-
ping off Bro. Gard to wend his way

pulled up at the gate of Greenwood

a patch of artichokes are :i.dded to
which his hogs have access doing
their own digging through the late
fall and winter. He esteems this ll.
good crop costing but little, but high-
ly appreciated by the hogs.

But breeding Poland China swine,
is not all the business of this large
farm. We went to two corn fields of
forty acies each, lying side by side.
One had been plowed and prepared
for corn in about the usual marz--.er,
the other field had been prq red
wholly with 3. pulvei-izer, a new im-
pliment in Michigan farming, .which
we shall not undr.-rtake to describe
with such particularity as to give as
clear idea of its construction as : f its
work.

It consists of fourindependent wheels
about three feet in diameter on sepa-

rate axles, each wheel having a face

of about 30 inches, composed of steel
knives 25 inches wide, running spir-
ally around the wheel, some seven or
eight inches apart. Over all is 3 frame
for the driver’s seat, which with the
tongue is about all the wood used in
its construction. The knives of these
broad opei‘ wheels when in motion,
cut up, or pulverize the ground very
completely. The wheels are adjust-
able in pairs at any desired angle, and
on this angle, and the condition of the
ground depends the depth of cut of he
knives. When rigged for full work it
requires from four to six horses to
draw it over 20 acres of ground in a
day.

We said one corn field was prepared
for planting wholly with this impli-
ment; which was drawn over it three
times, the last time it was closely fol-
lowed by a planter with check-rower,
and I can certify to the completeness
of the work, so far as straight rows go
to make good that condition.

There was no perceptible difference
in th tv. 0 fields ofcorn,l~.otb were fully
up to the average of the corn in that vi-
Ulfllty. This pulverizer when divided
becomes two two-horse cultivutors,
and with these and a Gotham the corn
has been worked. As in the prepara»
tion of the ground and in the cultiva
Lion of t‘ ecrop the ground has been
stirred but about four inches, we can
be sure of one thing, if the matured
crop of corn is as good in the field
Wli’..ll_Y prrpared with the pulverizer

as in the other, then farmers are doing ,

some unnecessary work when plow-
ing six or eight inches deep for corn.
Mr. Buell has used this piilverizer
nearly two years and likes it. It is
de;-‘igncd only for the large farmer.
and allows one man to spread himself
over a good deal of territory.

Mr. Buell has given some attention
to fruit having nearly 2,000 apple trees
which some years have given hand-
some returns. This year his orchard
won't cost him much or produce
much.

In passing we must not over look
his experimental silo constructed
during the rainy weather of June in
the corner of an old barn.‘ It is sim-
plya pit 10x12 curbed up with oak
plank. He don’texpecl: to get enough

ciii;.-igiiiail L'- F(-.-210.0 dz l\lai‘iiiiiig, of
Bo.-‘.o.«i. We give their wealily report
0fJuly 7,1853.

“'1‘licct-nzlition of the wool marker
during the past week has been much
as it was the week lzcfore, viz. ' The
volume of sales has been lll(,'I‘€tiS€‘(l
somewhat, and, iniisiilering that a.
holiday which usually spreads over
the best part of three days has inter-
vened, the amount of bu.-iiiiess has
I een large, while prices still continue
to favor buyers. Receipts are steadily
increasing, and already the offering of-
new wools represents a. full assort-
ment, and is certainly attractive, but
manufacturers seem to be in no hurry
to buy unless they find some over-
anxioua seller who will make prices
that encourage speculation, or happen
on some especially attractive lot of
wool. Their needs for actual con-
smption are very small while so little
machineiy is running, and they feel
that they are niasters of the situation.
There is more discrimination on the
part of buyers in favor of the lightest
and brightest wcols than we have
seen in a long time, and growers who
have taken pains with their clips will
this year reap the benefit of it. The
tradein woolen goods has been very
light during the week, and there is as
yet no encouragement for any of the
idle machinery to be stai ted up. All
indications point steadily to 9. very
cautious and conservative system of
doing business during the summer,
and buyers an d growers alike must
bear this in mind and expect no ex-
citement or boom, for if they do, the
chances are good that they will find
themselves mistaken.

At pr sent there is very little doing
in the'foreign wool markets, and the
closing rates at the London auctions
are firmly maintained at private sales.

Sales during the past week foot up
about 1,750,000 pounds, against about
1,200,000 pounds for the corresponding
week of last year, and 1,500,000 pounds
for the preceding week of this year.

The principal sales have been, of
Michigan and Wisconsin wool, about
325,000 pounds; of Pulled wool, about
377,000 pounds, and of Texas, Territory
and Sr:-iii.heiri, about 375,000 pouiidsi.

Aniong the sales we note Michigan,
Wisconsin, New York State, &c.
250,000 pounds new X Michigan at
34c ; 35,000 pounds old Michigan at 35
to 360.; 10,000 pounds No. 1, 38 to 400.;
5,000 pounds, No. 2 at 30c. The large
sale iirst mentioned was the transac-
tion reported last week, and is below
the range of the market here to-day.

ENGLISH JUSTICE.

The Willshire Echo an English pa-
per publishes the following specimen
of English justice. The Court seems
to have been a mixed affair, and from
our standpoint taking the matter as
true as stated,we think the aristocracy
the clergy, the military and the civi-
lian classes, are a bad lol: if these were
representative men of the . several
classes.

There is a laborer in Wiltshire
now engaged in discovering hcw to
keep himself, wife, and five chiidren
on eight shillings and ninepencg a
week. The man had been earning
ten shillings a week, and having
asked fora rise of a shilling he ab-
sented himself for a day to find an-
other job. He went back to his work

Do not overlook the article from the

of the practical.

Report of the Fourth at Ml. Tabor.

J.  Cobb.-——The fourth of July
celebration at Mt. Tabor we are happy
to report a success. There were
two things which seemed in the minds
of many to conspire against it. First,
the change of grove first announced to
that of Bsrrien Spring-. Second, the
inclement weather of the week before
forced the iarmers to feel as though
they must redouble forces to meet
pending ex.g ‘noes. However, the
usual expression was, there is all and
more than we expected. 01‘ the 13
Granges of the county, ten were repre-
sen led. The meeting was called to or-
der by the president of the day: BN-
Edward Marsh, who with a few well
chosen rexna ks introduced Bro. Levi
Sparks, who proceeded to deliver the
opening address in his usual Cl1&1‘8..;-
teristic way which was both instruc-
tive and amusing; after Which
adj uurnment was taken for the basket
parzofthe entertainment. Called to
order at -1:30 1’. M. the band dis-
coursed some beautiful and appropri-
ate music. Miss Ella Stevens of Mt.

Then followed a review of our educa-
tional systems which was so full of in‘-
struction, and food for thought that
the only thing I can offer that will
satisfy our people, is our sadest regrets
that we were not provided with a re-
porter, that it might be given to those
who were not fortunate enough to hear
it.

Vlfith such a review of the politi

cal and tariff statu'- of the country,
as time and strengh would permit,
he closed one of the best addresses the
farmers of B ‘ll'l€I] county were ever
favored with hearing. Strange as the
coincidence may seem, nine years ago
our worthy Bro. delivered the fi st
Grange speech of his llle, outside of his
)Wl.l county while but Master of his
own Subordinate Grange, upon those
very grounds, from a hand wagon.
With our best wishes, we hope that it
may not be another nine years until we
may ‘hear his clarion voice, again do-
in: honor to this great class, of which
he ‘is the worthy and honoreu repre-
sentativs.

he will be of the same opinion still.

of Berrien:

fl-1.1-; appreciation of her part, read in
an impressive manner the Declaration

The president then proceeded with
Ethe follrwing introduction of the Ola-
xtor o’ the da;,. “Ladies and gentleman:
in accordance with custom and on-
.nuunce,-uiem, we present the chief fea-
ture cr this occasion, the orator of
the day. Ten, tizteen, or twenty years
-ago had i‘. been announced that a ~ft-.r-
mer would p&l'f)I'lL'. this function the
printer would have -demand ed his~g.=a_',’
in advance for advertising and the
farmers would have been found at
home -shoeing their potatoes or making
clover hay. “Lo can measure the
contrast. An Iingllsli nobleman a
member of the British Parliament
never allows many of his constitu-
ents-cr subjects to behold his face. In
passing from (‘rustle to C.li‘£‘iage he
throws a mantle over his head .m:;-in-

siven.-ass there would be entertained
by the common people a greater re-
spect for his superiority and position.

incident is this: After the completion

lawyers of our State, and ofiers
his son a sacrifice to the plofessicn.
But he says, “Mr. Vioodman you
have a sn.;art son take him home,
put upon the farm and he wiilll
make a greater mark in xthe world,
than he will in this overcrowded pro-
fession.” ‘ffhis is remarkable, as the
-only instance of professional acknowl-
edgement that a smart boy -was ever
retained upon the farm. And perhaps
:upon this occasion he may drop some
hi;-t as to the mystic secret which may
ignite in the breast of some rural youths
that spark of ambition which under
good direction, has in this instance
been crowned with marked success.

Grange Festival.

Ed. Visitor.-—It is a long time since
you have received any communication
from Galesburg Grange, and were it
not that our “State dues” were kept
paid up, you might think we, as a
Grange, had burrowed up. But had
some good fairy dropped you down at
the reside ;ce of H. Dale Adams, on
Saturday afternoon, June 30th, you
would have found many members of
No.l8,and some from Montour Grange,
No.49 and other friends there assembled
The weather was fine, beyond descrip
tion, the house, porticoes and yards
were decorated with_beautiful plants,
flowers and evergreens, and with the
pleasant countenances of the host and
hostess, evertything conspired to be-
speak a welcome.

The usual Grange session was held,
after which all repaired to the shady
yards, with sea s and tables, where we
were regaled with strawberries, such
as Bro. Adams knows just how to
raise. Other good things were not
lacking, and last, though not least,
ice-cream, equal [0 Sister Adams’ best,
which is saying enough.

After rambling among the flower
and fruit yards, strawberry beds, and
greenhouse till a late hour, each took
their departure, Wishing that our
Grange meetings at Bro. Adams‘
5 could be extended as interminably as
; our Legislative sessions are some’. mes,
»a:2d we would u it even ask for a"‘R.~.i;
R-.>a.i Pass” to go home every two
weeks to see our wives and children.

As I -said before, could you have
been so opportunely dropped down
there, y'»u would surely have said,
‘It vvo.-5: good to be there.”

I To this end the most extravagant ,mye1e.tjon_

stories have been told of marvelous
prodiictiveness of the soil; the ease of
getting a competence, and wonderful
opportunities for in vestinerit of surplus.
These same commissioners have. judg-
ing from the reports, secured a coiitiiiu—
ance in office by ccitificd statements of
the numbers of people induced by their
methods to settle within the borders of
the State iepreseiited.

\Ve have taken occasioii from time to
time to deprecate this method of settl-
ing a State,and Michigan can well afford
to \vait a long time for close settlement
rather than bring such influences to
bear upon people to find homes in our
State. The people induced to settle in
any State by extravagaiit stories of
promised prosperity will always be a
class that add little to the strength of
the population. and actually in time
have a tendency to retard the iininigra-
tion of the most desirable people.

In our own State something of this
kind of work has been done by corpora-
tions having lands to dispose of. Ex-
traordinary indiiceinents liavc appar-
ently been off-:i'e<l to secure settlers up-
on the lands from which a large crop of
pine has been taken; and men of small
means have in great numbers settled
upon these lands only to find that witli-
out large expenditures they are nearly
worthless for agricultural piirposcs.

We believe in making plain, truthful
state-nients about .\lichigan and in them
there will be siitlicient inducements to
attract the best kind of people and any
amount of capital; and most earnestly
protest against the one-sided pictures
that lead people who enter our borders
to throw away their ordinary Sagacity
and settle upon lands that will briugto
them only disappointment.

Michigaifs best advertisemeiit lies in
the truthful statementthat if the States
of our Union were set apart from
each other, and so placed that each
must depend upon her own native re-
sources for support and devclopnient,
Michigan would lead them all. We
have no immense wheat fields, nor gold
mines, nor mountains of iron, nor is our

land exti':ivagaiitly fertile. Cotton is
not king, nor is corn queen. In truth

we acknowledge no royalty in any one
product. But we have a nicely adjusted
diversity of products leading to a great
variety of industries, which reiideis us
capable of mantaining a large popiila-
tion. We supply our own needs to a
very large extent by patronizing the
producers and manufacturers within
our own limits, and while doing this
we need not be without the luxuries of
life produced at our very doors.
Michigan is emphatically a State
in which to build homes; indepeiideiit,
attractive homes, in which is engender-
ed a spirit of rest and satisfaction, that
gives permanence to population and
continuous prosperity to the inhabitants
and it belioovcs us in doing what we
-can for the development of the resour-
-ces of our State to use such arguments
as will induce people who enjoy the
kind of life thus outlined to come to us
and remain witl_i us. Bonanza farming
would add notliiiig to our prosperity.
Small farms that are readily converted
into deli htful homes, with a view to
indepen ent life, will be the foundation
of Michigan's future prosperity.
Michigan has outlived the stories of
ue swales, barren hills and sandy
p ains. She shows by her products, her
eople and her standing among the
States. that she needs no forced adver-
tising to add to her progress. Let us
frown down all attempts to deceive
‘people, and make them think that here
we have a country where money and
hard work are not necessary accoinpaiii-
ments to success, but rather show by
statistics that a judicious expenditure
of labor and capital will here lead to
the acquireineiit-s of possessions that
can be so arranged as to secure to the
owners the greatest satisfaction of liv-
ing.—Chas W. Gonfield, in Farm De-
partnzeni‘, Grand Rapids Democrat.

 

THE Cali’ornians seem to be invet
erase jokes as regards the Chinese
question. They want to banish China-
men because they are lepers, and yet
their best families employ Chinese,
as house servants. They want to send
Chinamen away because they do not
become citizens and settle in the coun
try, and at the same time they prohibit

A them from ever becoming citizens.
They want to get rid of the Chinese
because they are heathen, and at the
same time they s"ow their system of
so-called Christianity to be far inferior
in its fruits to the heathenism of the
Chinese. They want to send them
back because they work cheaper than
other people, and at the same time
will want to boycott the whi e man
who gives them good wages. It is said
that the Chinese of California send
back to China, in clear cash, $1,000,000
per month. This Chinese cheap labor
makes it hard times for the white man
that has to work for 9. living, but
whatever else may be said of the L hi-
nese it cannot be denied that they are
industrious, good workmen, and not
given to strikes as often as the white
man. One finds himself not only dis-
gusted with some of his habits, but
wondering at his ingenuity. If you
pay avisit to Chinatown during the
day time you will not need to insure
your life before making a ‘pilgrimage
to the shrine of Confucius and amongst
the devotees of J oss, for both in the

gards this the highest compliment that

AT a banquet at which the American
Minister, Mr Lowell, was present last
saturday evening, he said in reply to
the toast olferer that, “a more import-
ant function of diplomacy is to main-
tain good humor, good will and an un-
derstanding between nations. In the
way we look at certain fundamental

uestions there is very little difference
getween the views of an Englishman
and those of an American. hough I
may not venture to allude to delicate
topics, I can say that no American, any
more than an Englishman, believes
that, asassination is war, ior that dyna-
mite is the raw material of policy.’

4. They can put ten -’armer.-3 in

5. They can make their own laws

6. They can secure the same pay-
ment per hour for hard work that is
demanded by brain work.

7. They can have all the comforts
and luxuries now enjoyed by the
classes which prey upon them.

8. They can combine themselves
into a compact body.

9. They can co operate, can stand
by one another, and if they do so can
rule the world-or

l0. They can continue to be the
dull drudges they have been, the prey
of every cunning politician, lawyer,
and speculator i - the land.

This suggests a few questions far
mers may perhaps profitably consider.
One question is: Do farmers try to
learn the true value of the ten votes
'i,iey might oppose to the seven he-
longing to those of all other occupa-
ti ins? A vast number of farmers ap-
pear unwilling to study the political
situation, even so far as they might
do so by the aid of one or two good
newspapers. A by no means insignifi-
cant number refuse to read even the
one local paper which labors espec-
ially for the interests of their own 10-
cafiity, and which it is plainly their
duty to support. The knowledge such
men have of politics is gained by dis-
cussion with or by listening to the
able statesman of the bar-room or the
crossroads grocery, supplemented per-
haps by a study of the lore of
the weekly story-papers. Can they
act in concert, even to the extent
of securing for themselves by simple
and direct means a system of good
and permanently passable highwayq,
by which they would save more than
railroads have ever .-xtorted?

They seem to have never given
proof ‘-if much cohesive power in this
or any other direction. Few, indeed,
are the laws passed for the benefit of
agriculzure, and of those that have
many have been secured by united
and harmonious effirts of farmers un-
aided by townspeople whom the pro
posed law would benefit. Would the
ten farmers whom farmers might send
to Congress or to the Legislature
serve the agricultural interests better
than the ten professional politicians
do whom they now send? To even
suggest the difliculties which an hon-
est and honorable farmer would meet
if brought into conflict with the al-
ways acute, often unscrupulous poli-
tician would be to fill chapters.

Would farmers, if they could, make
wiser and more equitable laws than
have been made by those who have
been the law-makers? Among farmers
there are many noble and able men,
but it will not be denied that few who
have made farming the chief busi-
ness of their lives have ever become
widely-known as law-givers.

If t ey could, by the enactment of
a law, secure the same payment per
hour for hard work—by which severe
manual labor was probably meant-
that is demanded for brain-work,
would they be wise or just in so doing?
In its savage state, the world-honored
brute courage only when supported by
brute force. Muscle was master, but
the world long ago learned that all
progress, all comforts, all luxuries
which go to make life desirable are
the result of brain-work, sometimes
guiding and directing simple brute
force; more often guicing skilled
fingers, which, by quickening
senseless iron, and wood, and
water, drive great steamers with
tireless energy rushing through thou
sands of miles of stormy seas or with
the strength of a hundred giants drag
long, heavily-laden trains over high
mountains and ac“oss wide plains.
Brain can do a thousand things more
than muscle can accomplish. This is
as true of the work of the farm as it
is of any other work, and proof of the
fact is furnished by the countless and
tireless machines now at work on the
farms in all parts of the civilized
world.

It is nonsense to say that other
classes prey upon the farmer. VVho
made it possible to reap and thrash a
hundred tines as much in a given
time asa farm laborer could reap or
thrash? Who, by making passalile and
permanent highways over which
great loads might be hauled at high

speed and low cost, made possible the
development of fruitful farms, where

but for these results of - brainwork
there would yet be a wilderness? Did
men who spent their days in the la-
bor of the farm do these things which

have lightened the toil and increased
the comforts of farm life and reduced
so materially the cost and risk of farm
operations? In almost _every instance
the improvements have been brought
about by the brain-work of some mem-

ber of the classes which, if Justice

tells the truth, “prey upon the far-

mer.”
Few are the farmers who would not
the puny awkward, and

ner or a Stevens to swing the scythe
or to stow away in the choking mow
the heavy green hay. The farmer
with muscle toughened by toil would
make light of atask which would in
a few minutes entirely exhaust an in-
tellectual giant, whose brain_might
easily move the minds of millions of
men with brains undeveloped by hard
use. The world has long recognized
the superiority of mind over muscle,
and it is absurd to talk of securing as
high pay for hard, muscular labor as
brain-work will continue to command.
But there are many reasons why far-
mers ‘should try and secure those
rights to which they are in justice en-
titled- and they can do so only by so
exercising the mind as to make them-
selves e ual to the requirements of the
hour, abe to cope successfully with
the professional man, the politician,
and the speculator. When thi= shall
have been done, as it can be, then far-
mers can “combine in a compact
body, can co-operate, can stand by
one another, and if they do so can
rule the world.” But it is well to

look the situation squarely in the

face, realizing clearly that an im-
mense amount or hard work must be
done before they will be able to rid
themselves of the incubus resting
upon them as a class. The Grange
has done much to awaken them to the
needs of the hour, but the agricul-
tural college, the common schools,
books and newspapers can and should
do far more.-J. O. C. in Chicago Trib-
une.

Food of the Indians.

As an indication of the domestic
economy of the Indians in utilizing
various articles of food, not for suste-
nance only, but to gratify the palate
as well, the following will be of in-
t€I'€‘.~‘it.

Father Fiemin, a Jesuit IXllS.'-,l()lJ3.I'y
among the Senecas, narrates that in
the autumn of 1009, "owing to the
unusual abutidaut harvest of walnut
this year, the joy of the people is so
great that one sees scarcely any;iiing-;
but games, dances and feasts, which
they carry even to debeiich, although
they have no other seasoning than
the oil.”

The fact that Father Fremin gives
the custom such a passing allusion,
indicates that the use of the oil was
well known.

Galinee, who vi-it-;-d the Senecas in
1679 with La Salle, says, “Another of
their favorite dishes is Indian meal
cooked in the water and served in
wooden bowls, witlia small in ~rtion of
sunflower, nut, or bears oil ”

L1 Mercier, (Jesuit Relations 1057),
alludes to the process by which the
Indians extract oil from the sun-
flower, while from similar sources 
are informed that the butternut, black
walnut and shag-bark walnut were
much prized by the Indians as an
article of food, and especially the ex-
tracts made from them for seasoning.

In a representation made by La
Salle in 168-l (N. Y. Col. Doc. ix, 217)
in relation to Fort Frontenac, is the
following: “Around the lake (Ontario)
are to be found wild apple trees, chest-
nuts and nuts from which the Indians
extract very good oil; also divers sorts

Telegraph Monopoly.

The rise and progress of the Western
Union Telegraph Company is thus set
forth:

Beginnin as the House Printing
Telegraph Company, with a capital of
$360,000.on the first of January, 1863,
by stock bonuses, and the purchases
or other lines, its capital was increased
to $3,000,000. On the second of March,
1863, this was watered by exactly
doubling its capital and presenting the
additional shares to stockhold-:.-rs, thus
raising it to $6,000,000, May 28, 1864,
it was further increased, by purchas-
ing an extention of lines, $5,000,000,
making its capital $11,000,000, and at
the same time the whole of its stock
was again doubled by an issue of 100
per cent bonus to its stockholders,
making the capital $22,000,000. From
this period up to January. 1868, it took
the United States Telegraph Company
at $3 533 333, and absorbed the Ameri-
can Company, with a capital of only
$2,000,000, taking it in at $11,818,800,
and by bonuses and extentions of
lines etc.. its capital was increased to
$41,008,800; and recently it absorbed
the Atlantic and Pacific Telegraph
Company, whose lines cost not more
than $2,500,000, and the American
Union Telegraph Company, with its
lines. which cost little more than $2.
000,000, taking them at $25,000,000,
and at the same time issuing a stock
bonus of $15,000,000, thus bringing its
capital up to $80,000,000. In addition
to all this it Sfillk $3 000,000, in the
aban.-inriment of the R‘lHHl8D Tele-
graph, and nearly as much more by
abandon-mciit of the California lines
and cintracts for lines parallel to the
P acilic l“llll‘()lAil, and it also borrowed
$5,000 000, for the ‘purchase of real es-
tate in New York, and pays $75,000,
per Frlulllll rental for the California
State Telegraph Company; $85,000 per
annum re ital for the Illinois Sta 'e Tele-
graph Company; purchased a majority
of the Pacific and Atlantic, Southern
Atlantic, and Franklin Telegraph
companies, and guarantees perpetual
dividends on the minority of the
stock; and leased the Northwestern
Telegraph Company, and pays a large
rental on a stock and bonded capital of
nearly $4,000,000, beside rentals of
other leased lines. makin its capital
real ly about $100,000,000. he increase
in the volume of its business and the
amciiiit nfils earnings have kept pace
with its increase of capital, until now
its traflic is over 30,000,000 of messages,
gross rec-ipts over $15,000 000, and
net earnings over $6.000,000 per au-
num; and all this with no improve-
ment in method and but little im-
prnvenient in appliances over the first
line constructed forty years ago;
mo,-eovcr this gigantic monopoly,
touching and influencing every
branch of commerce and industry, is
controlled by one man, whose sole
nbiect is self-aggrandizement.—-Scien-

Liquor Legislation.

At the recent session of the Legisla-
ture, the following dcscribed statutes
Igliulatiixg the liquor trailic were enact-
e :

To prohibit the sale of iutoxicatinr
bevera cs within two miles of ()rcliar
Lake A ilitary Academy.

To permit otlicers having char_;:e of
poor to forbid sales of liquor to intoxi-
cated porsoiis in the habit of getting
intoxicated.

To recover actual and exemplary
dainagcs for injuries sustained in con-
sequence of sales to intoxicated persons
being siibstantially a re-enactineiit of
the old civil damage law, inadvertantly
omitted in the revision of the liquor
laws of 1-581.

To require the instruction in the
public schools on the effects of iiit0xi—
eating liquors and narcotics on the
human brain and tissues.

To enable councils of villages incor-
poratcd under the geiieral act (over 100
in niimber) to suppress the sale of in-
toxicatiiig liquors in said villages.

Various bills were introduced in the
interest and for the advaiitagc of the
liquor sellers, but not one passed either
branch of the Legislature.

 

A Crisis in Civilization.

Do you think huinan nature lias im-
proved in all these thousand years?
1).) you think men are realy wiser
or better or stronger than they were
thousands of years ago‘? Take your
Greek Statue, and you have as fine an
expression of the human face as you
can find to-day. Take what has come
down to us of their eloquence, of their
generalship and you will find them
not inferior to the riien of to-day. Yes
their civilization perished as civiliza-
tions before theirs perished—-torn to
pieces by forces generated by the
growth of iniquity And the same
question is being presented to us now
in this century as it was presented to
them. We must in some way stop
the progress of this equality; we must
find some way of coming back to the
natural planeor we will be overthrown.
All this disquiet wuich moves the
world means something; it means
that the time is almost here -If it has
not already come—when our civiliza-
tion must take that move rorward or
go down. HENRY GEORGE.

Tun maximum enalty, in the bill
introduced into arliament by Sir
William Harcourt in regard to explo-
sives, for -causing an explosion by
which life or property is lmperilled, is

cause such an explosion, or_ the making

Four thousand worms can be raised
in the space of an ordinary kitchen
table, so one (‘:MJ easily estiinate the
prooaole amount they contain, by a
knowledge of the space at their dis-
posal.

Ttie labor extends over only six
weeks, unless om chooses to raise a
second cr ip. For two or three weeks
of this time the work is very light,
as the feeding: needs only to be at-
tended to three or four times 21 day.
l)uriiig the latter part of the time,
however, it is very constant as the
worms eat voraciously as they increase
ill E|!Z‘:‘.

It is necessary to have the racks, or
shelves holding the boxes upon which
the worms are fed, so arranged that
ants cannot possibly get upon them,
and the windows of the room in which
they are kept must be so screened
that while insects and direct rays of
sunlight cannot penetrate, ventila-
tion (without 9. draught upon the
worms) shall be perfect, and at the
same time that it shall be possible
ti exclude damp and cold.

York or Philadelphia, which will en-
able anyone to experiment successful

with indistry and interest in the work
should fail in raisin a fair amount of
silk. It is certain y better for wo-
men than slaving at shirt-sewing, and
it is wonderfully interesting to watch
the surprisingly rapid growth of the
curious insects, from the tiny, shred-
llke creatures that first appear from
the egg, to the large active worms that
enshroid themselves in thi delicate
and beautiful cocoons suspended in
c usters of pale green, silvery whir,e
and bright yellow all over the beams

Changing the Character of Plants

Dr. Sturtevant. in Bulletin number
thirty-eight, of the New York Experi-
nien‘. Station, quotes different authori-
ties to show that seeds taken from
different parts of a lant, are unlike
in character, and a so aliudes to the
popular belief among gardeners, that
pole beans may be changed to bash
beans by continued selection for plant-
ing of the lowest pods on the vines.

We are reminded of a recent state-
ment made by one of our subscribers,
Mr. Henry Pickering of Woonsocket
R. I., who, some years since, procured
the seed of one of our well known
varieties of late sweet corn, 9. peculi-
arity of which was a tall stalk, and
with the ears set very high up on the
stalks. By selecting onlyt elowest
ears formed on the stalk, regardless of
their size or general appearance in
other respects, Mr. Pickering has been
able to produce a corn every way
equal to the original in all other char-
acteristics, but with the are set com
paratively low on the stalks. The
fodder part of the plant has also been
quite materially reduced in size by the
method of selection of ears for plant-
ing.

Farmers have scarcely begun to re-
alize the extent of power there is in
selection for changing and improving
the character of the plants they raise.
Such experiments as these made by
Mr. Pi:kering, may savor a. little too
much of the doctrine of evolution to
suit some, but under the direction of
careful experiments, changes and im-
provements will go on whether we ac-
knowledge the law under which such
changes are produced or not.—N. E.
rvarmer.

 

“RESPIRATION is a species of com-
bustion. At every breath we inhale
oxygen of the atmosphere, which
unites with and consumes the carbon
or fatty matter of the food. When cows
are worried or driven too rapidly, they
breath more frequently, inhale more
oxygen, and more of the buttery por-
tion of their food is consumed, leaving
less to be converted into ’ butyraceous
milk. Warmth is a substitute, to a
certain rxtent, for food. Cows, when
warm and comfortable, will consume
proportionately less food, and it is well
known to all experienced dairymen,
that their cows yield more milk in
warm, pleasant days, or when they
have the run of a warm, well sheltered
pasture, than on cold rainy days, or
when they run in cold, bleak pastures.
When cold they inhale more oxygen;
the result is a combustion of more of
the carbon or oily part of the food,and
the less remains to supply the lacteal
yessels with rich milk. ’

How to Kill Cabbage Worms.

The ravages of the caterpillars of the
cabbage butterfly caused a good tit-a‘. of
trouble last summer at the State Agri-
cultural Experiment Station, Geneva
N. Y., particularly those of the second
of August brood. In order to text the
etllcacy ofvariou-i reputed rcmsdie: for
the cabbage worm, the director applied
them to special collections of worms.
ard noted the effects. One specimen
confined for three hours in a bottle
partly filled with black pepper crawl-
ed !JW8.y discolored by the powder,
but apparently unharmed. The sec-
ond, repcatedly immersed in 9. solu-
tion of s-iltpetre,:and a third in one
ofboracic acid, exhibited little indi-
cation of inconvenience. Bisulphide
of corbon roduced instant death, but
when app ied to the worm, though its
fumes were not effectual. The fumes
of benzine as well as the liquid caused
almost instant death, but when applied
to the cabbage-s small whitish excreti-
cences appeared on the leaves. Hot
water applied to the cabbage destroy ed
a portion of the worm’-, Causing also
the leaves to turn yellow. One ounce
of sultpetre and two pounds of com-
mon salt dissolved in three gallons of
water formed an application which
was partly efllcient. The most satis-
factory remedy test, however. consist-
ed of a mixture of one-half pound
each of hard soap and kerosene oil in
three gallons of water. This was ap-
plied August 26; an examination the
following day showed many, if not all
the worms destroyed. The growing
cabbage presents such a mass of leaves
in which the caterpillars may be con-
cealed, tha’ it is hardly possible to
reach all the worms at one application.
It is of importance, therefore, to re-
peat the use of any remedy at frequent
intervals.—Scienttj/ic American

Lapeer County Pomona Grange.

Bro Cobb.-—Lapeer county Pomona
Grange,met with Dryden Grange, N o.
396, on the 14th of June. I am sorry,
to say that in point of numbers, it was
rather the poorest meeting since our
organization. From different causes,
several of our officers were absent. But
we who were present had a. real good
time after all. The Sisters of Dryden
Grange, had made ample provisions fol-
supplying the inner man, and were
rather disappointed in having so few
to entertain. Bro. Manwarring, our
State Senator and wife were prasent
and added largely to the interestof the
meeting. He called our attention to
the need we have of sending more well
qualified farmers to the Legislature to
attend to our interests. Bro. Manwar-
ring was requested by the Grange, to
select 3 subject for discussion at our
next meeting. The subject he chose
was, “Legislation for the farmer and
how to obtain it.”

Now a word as regards our own
Grange, No. 549. You are aware that
in point of numbers we are a small
Grange, and of late the Dakota fever
has lessened our number by taking
away four members. One of them be-
ing our Worthy Master; but although
suffering this severe loss, we are still
as determined as ever, to maintain a
standing amongst the working Grange
of the State. VVe have shipped our
wool this season to Fenno & Manning
of Boston, 2,236 pounds. We have not
had returns from it yet but feel sure
from past experience that it will be
satisfactory. Yours fraternally,

Questions 53—What is religion and
politics in the Grange?

lSugges£z‘om—It ha.s_been said and
repeated a thousand times that there

An organization of this character, void
of’ religion and politics, would be a
fraud and deserving of contempt.

If there were no religion in the
Grange, why make the moral standin
otan applicant a test for admission
Is not the first lesson taught at the
threshold on entering a Grange a roll-

ious one? And so it is with every

esson as we advance in the Order
through all the degrees and ceremon-
ies. If there is no religion in the
Grange why open all its meetings
with prayer, and close them with a
benediction? Why the Worth Mas-
ter’s injunction at the closeo every
sessionas to our conduct during the
intervals of its meeting? The most
devoted and earnest men and women
of the various religious denominations
meet and mingle together _ in the
Grange in the. enjoyment ahke of its
religious exercises; having laid asld_e
allseotariauism, their mail ious senti-
ments are elevated tohig er esteem
and usefulness. _ _

Educating on political economy. on

lS'uggeslirm.s-—’l‘he Order collected its
thousands of the l;-i:.’-JI faiillers and their
iarrliiies into one grand fraternal 01'-
ganization, “The Gr:».n::e,” where we
have improved our social, intellectual
and moral natures to a higher elevation
in inanhood anti womanhood. What
wontlc-rfill changes are <:l+.:~'.rly visible
in L-very clmmuliity where is a regular
working Grange! Notice the differ-
allee ill ll-'.~usehol.: and farm manage-
lllent, the lliflerellt niollr.-s of cultiva-
ll4l;), the kind, quantity and quality
of product, etc-., all of which is the re-
sult of the educat-tonal advalicelnellt
ill the (irange.
love for agriculture, we realize its inl-
portzzllce, we have learned the Ilecessai-
ty and ll1lp0l't2lIl<‘tt of cr.:-operation in
-Iii.-posing of stirplils product and ill
securing our Bll;,}'*ll‘_t-1, whereby we
save million.-: of ~'_l(>llars annually. _

VVe have learned niucv concerning
political economy; the affairs and sci-
ence of government, wllicii enables us
to better protect our interests against
the cncroachmellts of the ovel -greedy.
Our work has attracted the attention
of all classes and of‘ govt-:i-llnient, and
thousand of the best men in the na-
tloll are to-day warm friends. We
have to a large extent removed sec
tional animoeities and united a divid-
ed leople.

'l}‘he agitation of agricultural recog-
nition and protection by government,
as well as taxation,trallsportation and
opposition to mouopolized power, are
all the outgrowtll of the Grange.

Courage and future perseverance
Will fully accomplish the results re-
quired.

Mistakes of Fathers.

O.ie great reason why boys leave
the farm is because of their fathers. VVe
have heard plenty of boys say, “It
Wa=lil’t f'or mother I’d run away.”
The mothers in the honies—are
what make the homes——what
keep the families together. "What:
poet ever thought. of writing, (‘What
is home without a father?” But the
sentiment, “What is home without a
mother,” finds an echo in every heart.
Widows innumerable have reared fam-
ilies of children to lives of virtue and
usefulness, while a man left with
motherlass children to care for, usually
remarrles as soon as possible, and thus

transfers the care of his children off

his own shoulders to those of their
stepmother.

As a rule, boys leave home because
they canno; get along with their fath-
ers. They almost universally love
their mothers but the feeling they
have for their fathers is more like fear.
They obey their fathers more quickly,
because they know they must; but
don’t always love or even respect
them. If boys want money or favors
of any kind, instead of “bearding the
lion.” themselves, they coax mother
to “ask father if I may.” So the
mothers go on acting as peace-makers
——middlelnen without proflt——entreat-
ing the sons to love and opley the
fathers, and begging the fathers to be
more lenient and kind to the sons, un-
til the latter arrive at that time
which comes to all boys—the age of
verdant conceit, when even their
mothers cannot reasin with them,
when they will not submit to being
treated likechildren any longer—and
they leave the farm, very often with
out the knowledge or consent of the
parents.

Yet farmers have wondered, and
will continue to wonder, to the end
of time, why their boys don’t stay
and live and work on the farm, and so
inherit the land they till. They con-
not see that it is their own selfishness
that makes home uuendurable to their
sons.

The farmer's boy runs away from
home, goes to town, and becomes an
apprentice to some tradesmen; and so
at the age of 17 gets board and $1 per
week as wages, and is learning a trade;
while the farmer hires some other
lad for $15 per month to fill his place.
It is plain to see who is the gainer by
the change.
better on the $1 a week than he used
to be clothed at home, and at least
thinks he has better treatment.
farmers would only sit down and
“count the cost,” and treat their sons
with more consideration, count up
the money they save them, and let
them have something for their own,
something that they personally would
be responsible for, the mothers would
be happier and the boys would stay at
home.—Form and home.

 

A CHEAP TELEPlIONE.—If a farmer
or merchant is not in reach of the tele-
phone company and wishes to connect

is house and office, he can easily do so
at an expense of_ less than fifty cents.
If the distance is two hundred yards
buy some five pounds of common stove-
pipe wire, make a loo in each end
and put them through oles one—half
inch in diameter in the bottom of two
cigar boxes and fasten them with nails.
The wire is then drawn tight and sup-
ported by cords if necessary. The
wire can be run into the house by bor-
ing ahole through the window glass.

uch a home-made telephone _will
transmit music, even when the piano
is thirty feet away and in another
room.

 

AGRICULTURAL societies were first
established in the New England States,
and Hardwick. Worcestor County,

Mass, is entitled to the honor of bold-

ing the first “fair,” on June 12, 1762.
The next a ricultllral society was es-
tablished in hiladelphia, under the aus-
pjces of Dr. Benjamin Franklin, in 1785.

ew York fell into line in 1791, Boston
in 1792, Hallowell, Me., in 1801; four
others followed in Maine from 1801 to
1814, and several others at a later date
throughout New England. There are
now twenty-nine agricultural societies
in Massachusetts alone.

a real help and colnfort to me since the
day wllell llt‘ basllf'ully knocked at the
door, with books and slate in hand.
His hand was white and shapely; fill-
gcrs spotless, nails ilnlnaculate, and his
“li’s"——llut what was it that sent a cold
chill over me as I looked at them ‘.-‘ All,
nly dear, if I should live a thousand
ye:lrs,I could never tell you how I felt
when I found that Frank Duilbar had
written half a dozell letters upon the
opposite page of his copy-book!

"Why l<‘rallk,” said 1, “how did that
llappeli 1”’

“I did it.”

“You did it before I. spoke 1”’ said I
clinging to a forlorn hope.

“No. ’m; I did it afterward. I for of.”

“()ll, Frank! lily good, good Joy!
How could you? I shall have to pull-
ish you.”

"Yes, ’nl,"—tlle brave blue eyes look-
ing calmly up into lny face.

“Very well you may ro to the desk.”

He went and I wa ked the aisles
agaill,—up and dowll_. lip and down,
giving a caution here or a word of ad-
vice tllere, but not kllowiilg, ill the least
wllat I was :ibout. My tllougllts were
all with the ll:l.\'L‘ll-llilll‘€(l culprit, who
stood bravely awaitillg his pellalty.
Vailily l strove to listen to lily inward
lllollitor. It ::'<;‘€lIl€(l suddenly to have
become two-voiced,——tlle one tantaliz-
iilg, the other sootllillg,——alld, of course,
the tones were conflicting.

"You must punish him,” said one.

"You lllusil’t,"' said the other.

“He deserves it.”

“He doscil't.”

"He disobeyed you flatly.”

"lint he f'oi'got——alldlle IIJS always

“liut you promised. You have given
your word. Here are tllirty boys to
wllolll you should be all exalllple. Do
you tllillk they are not watcllillg you?
Look at tllein!”

I did look at them. lVal'tcr Lane's
sharp black eyes and Ilarry Saufol'd’s
sleepy orbs were fixed curiously upon
me. Nor were these all. Gray eves
blue eyes, llazel alid brown ey€s—:all
were regardillg me intently: I almost
fallcied that they looked at me pityillg-
ly, I could not bear it.

"Attclld to your writing boys.” Then
I walked slowly up to the desk.

llut I had thought of a possible plan
of escape. “l“rallk," said I, “you have
been disobedient-, ai1d—you kliow what
I said, but-—you are such a good boy
that I cannot bear to punish you——not
lll that way, 1 mean, You may go to
the foot of your class, instead.”

“I’d ratller take the whipping"’ The
honest, upturned face was very sober,
but betrayed not the least sigll of fear,
nor was there the slightest suspicion of ii
tremble in the clear childish voice.

“Bless your brave little heart,”
thought 1. "Of course you would! I
mi ht have known it,” and again I
_wa ked up and down, thinking. think-
ing.

“You will have to do it,” repeated
the voice. “There is no other way.”

“I caunot,—oh, I can’t," I groaued,
half aloud.

"The good of the school requires it.
You must sacrifice your own feelings
and his.” ”

“Sacrifice his feeliu s! Loyal little,

soul! good as gold, all true as steel.”
“N o matter, you must do it."

“I won’t!”

I walked (uickl to the desk, and
struck the be 1. T e children looked

said I. ou know that Frank Dun ar

“Yes ’m-——yes ’m!” came from all
parts of the room, but two or three of
the larger boys sat silent and unsympa-
thetic.

“You know how ambitious he is in
school; and what a little gentleman al-
ways.”

"Yes ’in. That’s so. We know."
Only two unsympathetic faces now;
but one of them, that of a sulky boy in
the corner. looked as if its owner was
mentally sayiilg. “Can’t think what
you’re driving at, but'I’ll never give in

Should a Farmer Take an Active
in Politics?

Interest

[From speech of Senator l'aln;e* at the Fair
of West Michigan }*‘orme1's’ Club, at Grand
Rapids ]

Should a t‘:lrlllcl' take all active inter-
est ill politics‘.‘ I sllould as soon think
of asking should he take an illterest ill
a joillt stock colllpally ill which all his
property is illvcsted. 'l,‘llisgovel'lliill-lit
is nothing else. The colllpaliy pays its
dividends scllli-anllually; the goverll-
lllellt daily. Tile first pays ill money;
the goverlllllent ill protection, order,
security, without which money is
valuelcss. Your interest ill the stock
colllpziily educates you ill money mak-
ing; your illterestiu the affairs of tile

overnlucilt will educate all the lio-
glest faculties of mind and heart.

With lnally, I _kllow, politics has
collie to mean wire pulling, packlllg of
caucuses, wlliskey drillkillg and baser
lll(:‘l.Il0LlS. But it should illeail, alld
would uieall, if we all ave it attention
the tlplloldiilg of the as, care of the
state, patriotism, with all that it im-
plics alld the good of iuallkilld. If you
take no interest ill politics, d0ll’t coni-
plaill that tricksters colltrol collveil-
tions and unfit men are sent to the Leg-
islature, to Gollgress, aild to the l.'llited
States Scllilte. Under our systeill the
men by wlloill you deserve to be l'(.‘])1'(3~

dcilt of your powers it will give you a
better opinion of yourself for you will

If you are dogmatic and conceited you
will find lnell who know more than you
do, and who will take the trouble to
let you kllow it. You will find that
wllcre a man does a p:il'ticularly good
thing, it is the result of hard work
either illlnlediatc or remote.

If you do go to the Legislature, doll’t
talk on every bill that comes up. You
will thereby conceal a great many
tlliilgs you do not know and the house
will pay more attclltioil to you wllell

ing you from all overllallgillg lilnb

in the Legislatule is worth two years
at college.

Great economic questions are loom-
ilig up, wllicll will demand the clear
head and loyal heart to manage, and
the educated farlner should be at the
front. When I say educated, I do ilot
mean necessarily educated in the
schools, but educated by mingling with
men in town and country, by careful
reading of good works, by meditations,
by conflict and attrition with other
minds in your clubs and elsewhere, and
by newspapers. Take one or two good
newspapers with men of opposite part-
ice.

We all have our hopes, our ambitions,
our fears, our discour‘ ements. Many
of us go under as the 00d passes on,
some to disappear forever, others to
come up again and struggle, and others
to float aimlessly d"wn the stream.
We are mystified, and, if we reason, we
ask to what end? We ask what is the
destiny of hi:-.11? What this discord?
Wily should life be so fierce a struggle
for some, so unsatisfactory for others,
and so mysterious to all ‘H While some
dispair of the solution, others believe
that all the jarring and discord come
from ignoranceofthe law. moral and
physical, and from a non-observance of
what we do know. They believe that,
as yet civilization is like a mob of sol-
diers but partially drilled, without con-
fidence ili their oflicers, or in each other.
They believe the time will come when
that confidence will exist when that
diciplinewillbe establish . Whenthat
time comes shall not the heavens bow
down?

My improved fire and weather-proof
paint is applied -oiling lint and will
penetrate and preserve your shingles
for years. It; will not evaporate or
drip; will not color rain water; is not
afl"ec'.ed by heat or cold, and as now
made has little or no odor. One coat
of it will make your shingles lay flat
and two coats will give them the ap-
pearance of slate. It is applied with-
out solliug walks, porches or lawns.
It is strict. economy for any man to
preserve his roof while it is good and
not wait until it becomes decayed.
One coat of my paint and slating is
worth '- ore than five coats of oil
paint. Oil paint will evaporate and
soon brush off‘.

I will prelerve your roofs at the fol-
lowing prices . Shingle roof, one coat,
$1.50 per square; shingle roof, two
coats, $2.50 per square. Tin roof, one
coat, $1.00 per square; tin roof, two
colts, $1.50 per square.

I have come to Kalamaz lo to stay.

earn it here. If your roof wants r~-

TEE GEAITQE VISITOR.

JULY 15, 1883.

 

taller; Qrpaitmzqt.

THE RETURN.

I wandered to-day to the cottage

That once was my happy home;

But others now the hearth-stone claim
And I a stranger roam.

And as I pass within the doorway
And step on the oaken floor,
Memories throng about me

From the happy days of yore.

But as I reach to grasp the vision

That smiles a welcome there,

It passes through my out-stretched fingers
A phantom of the air.

Grandma, the weary child hath wandered
Through a year of doubt and pain,

And now all sad and lonely-hearted

She greets her home again.

But not the loved familiar face-
Oh, grandma! can it be,

That here I sit within the cottage
And call in vain for thee F

Oh once again to lay my forehead
Upon that gentle breast,

To feel thy blue eyes beam upon me
To sleep and be at rest.

Oh shadows of this lonely housl hold
That throng with ghostly tread;

I cannot clasp your phantom fingers
Would too that I were dead.

Your joyous smiles are brightly beaming
In a better world than this,

Your angel voice is loudly swelling

In choruses of bliss.

E’en now your angel wings may hover
Around this sacred place;

Your pitying eyes may read the sorrow
That clouds this troubled face.

E’en now the pearly gates are opening
The breath of Heaven's bloom,

And floods of holy light are waited
Unto this hallowed room.

And I hear a loved voice whisper
As the earthly clouds are riven,
Though long on earth a wanderer

Seek now a home in Heaven. —A. E. D.

 

A Chat wilh Old Friends.

Dear Ladies of the Visitor.-—Where
are you all? have we caught the

disease that has laid waste the Youth’s
Department? I am disappointed when
there are no letters from the Youth,
and the Ladies’ Department is filled
with scissorings from exchanges.
Have we all ceased at one time to feel
an interest in the Grange, and its
strong advocates?

My‘ excuse for so long silence is
poor health. and a wedding in our
family, which ought to be suflicient.
I am still enthusiastic in my interest
and hope for the future of the Grange.
and anxious that success should crown
this farmers movement; and to this
end feel like bending every energy,
and asking what can I do, in the
Grange and out of‘ it, for the advance-
ment and enlightenment of our class.

The VISITOR has a wide circulation
fora semi-monthly, and many of its‘
subscribers are not members of the
Grange, but are pleased with it be-
cause its contributors are farmers and
their wives, sons, and daughters who
write more or less of their home
lives, and farm experiences, thus
making it a home paper. What will
be the result if these cominuilications
give place to long treatises on different
subjects, taken from some learned
lawyer’s diary. Shall we do it, or shall
we arouse ourselves, throw off this hot
air lethargy and make this Depart
ment lively for the next three months.
I understand this is no easy task; we
must deny ourselves many quiet
hours of reading our favorite authors,
and some of us must even neglect
some of our work to meet this demand;
but in the end will it not do us good,
to chat with dear friends in this man-'
ner. And to the house keeper who
feels that her work is one continous
round monotonous tread-mill grind-
ing, I say come with us, and we will
do you good; come into the Grange,
where you will find amusement and
recreation as well as instruction, yes,
and friendship, not the effervescent
sort,but pure tried fraternal friendship.

Our heart has been cheered as we
read the articles by Myra, Aunt Hattie,
and ahost of others whose faces we
have never looked upon, but whose
kind sentiments we value above price,
and we feel sure we shall know them
“over there.” Our hearts swell with
gratitude that we live in this age, and
we hunger for knowledge as we reach
out into the world of books and search
for hidden truths; and how glad we are
that there is “more beyond.” God
never would implant in the human
breast longings that never could
be attained. Growth. only comes
by use; shall we bury our one talent
because it’s but one and let some
one perish for the cup of water we
with—hold'? No! no. let those who nn.'.:-2
but a. Word of cheer Write it. and who
knows the good it may (10?

Who of us have not listened un-
movedto a lengthy, finely phrased,
speech, on the goodness of God; when
gojne poor trembling trusting Child Of
grace commences with stammt-ring
tongue to tell his experience which
melts us to tears, we forget all but the
sentiment which comes from a full
heart.

How nice the "Postal Jottings” are-
And now as “Aunt Prue” says the

that

schools are closed and we have our
young people home again, and we
can take a breathing spell. Let us
not forget the needs of the VISITOR
although the weather may be depress-
ing and nerves all on a quiver. Let. us
make up for lost time.
Aunt Prue's invitation to the young
people to give us a glimpse of their
orations and commencement essays.
I cannot agree with “Park” that what

How I have wished there would be
some good-soulcd woman, on kind-

The Law of Variabillly.

It is admilteli by 1::-:irly all who
have studied the laws which govern
the veg-.-table and animal kingdom
that variabilily is the universal iule.
If I say ‘ early, it is because 3. very
eminent horticultural writer, whom I
esleem, has W'ri£|.eU recently th_ut.re-
production i.-. the rule and variation
an exception. But in support of his
-oninion he has not quoted one exam-
ple, nor explained why there are not
two grains 0" sand of the same size or
the same weight; why there are iii-.v>_-r
two have of the same tree identically
alike, nor two seeds of the same pod
producing two plantsin every rcsp ct
the same; wh~ we never meet two
twins res Lubl ng perfectly. Time
and 'etle:tion, and particular. ly obser-
vation, will, it i.- to be hoped, se‘tle
thisquestion for the interest of science
a ti progress.

I have been myself for along while
in error. l attributed the variaaions
obtained from seed to the interference
of insects. and thought that when ram-
bling in flowers they carried the pollen
lrom one variety to another, and thus
produced crossings. But my friend
Carriere, editor of the Revue Horticote,
of Pari:<., made inc perceive my mis-
take bv calling my ai.te..:tion to the
v-'-‘-; ind law of variation.

I felt very mucli obliged, bun as 8
free thinker in all inaiteis, aim bel_iey-
lug only whatis demonstrateli ii: 11'1“~‘_‘
fraglble facts, I searched. for proofs
and adlicted 1nj'-"*"'5” parU<'-limo’ to

f’ ; ._;,§}, What iuak-as me desirous to
wall the attenlion of Io.-.se gr.-owe:-s to
this 5-2-rtiject ‘is, [i_la.‘/IlOLW'll7ilSii1!l(.llllg
its evidence, the law of variability is
not gsiiei'all_y perceive-., pri.=io.'pall_v in
horticuli re, and because it is in the
vegetable kingdom, that there is the
largest field for study. Is it not varia-
tion thar produces all the pleaslires in
expectation by the hopes we entertain
of obtaining something new by sow-
ing?

It is chiefly in the rose tribe that
variation has without our interven-
tion, given us so much delight, by the
numerous and beautiful varieties ob-
tained since the beginning of this
century.

This natural result has induced some
rosarians, amongst which we must
-cite Henry Bennett, to apply them-
selves to artificial feoundatdon, an art

  

which is yet in its infancy, and often-
ill-pricticed, but which will certainly
lead to marvels, bv judicious selec-
tiors. A natural fact of variability
which has often been producui, and
generally passed unnoticed, is dimor-
phism, commonly called sport or acci-
dent. VVhy 8. sport? W'ny an acci-
dent? Because the law which has pro-
d=.:ced them is yet unknown.

S '-me say that those variations are
produced by an unhealthy state, oth-
ers by over-culture. I suspect them
all to be in error, and tell them “seek
and you will find.”

In the rose tribe some very remark-
able sports haves rung up recently-
Mabel Morrison. i)\'liite Bl‘.-I'0lle.~'S and
Merville de Lyon, all three with
white fliwers, issued from Baronne
do R’*thSChll:i, which has pink flow-
era.

The American I5.-.nner, with striped
ll were, issued from Tea Bon (aliens,
and very.difl'-,-rent in habit from the
type; and lately Pete; He-ndl-rson
wrote to me that he had found a di-
morphism of Tea Perle des Jardins
with the color of Tea Madame Falcol;
and it is very likely that very often
such reports have occurred without
being noticed and will occur again;
and I tliereforw engage (and it is while
I write these lines) all the rosarians,
and particularly amateurs, who have
more leisure, to pay attention [0 the
slightest deviation they perceive, and
to endeavor to fix it by budding or
grafling.

[Few good observers of nature have
any doubt in these days that the prin-
ciple of variation exists in nature in-
dependently of seminal influence. In
G<.‘I‘l}13ilt0WD there are several genera-
tions ofthe English oak, all from one
single parent tree, which show as
many variations as coul‘! be found in
a wood in Euro e. M. De Candolle
has recently ca led the attention of
European scientists to tlii- fact in the

A Defense of the Sparrows.

A 3 the world has always banished,
or hunted down, or decapitated, or
burn.-d at the stake, or poisoned its
‘oenefu-.--:oi‘s, it is entirely consistent
when i; outlaws the sparrows. Our
people Iltili borne with the hideous
caterpillar‘ to the very point of en-
durance. They had seen the fiiest
shade trees ruined year after year.
They had walked the paveinv.-nts at
certain seasons not iiierll, in fear
and trembling, but nauseatc-d. And
zhcy were compelled either to :--.ay at
home or gs» abroad over zi iiaiiseous
carpet of crus‘.ie<i W().'llJS. 5.; circum-
stanccd, they cried aloud in the bit-
terness of spirit and (lcmnnllod some
remedy for the pi .gue of cuteipillars.

The Engli.-ill spurrov. was intro-
duced. .\.s be l1l\'l'(:‘iil-l:_‘\i and multi-
plied, the fortunes of the L‘:t§c.l’plilal‘
began visibly to vvttn-.-. As time
passed, the nuisance of llli-, measur-
ing worm disappeared, alwuy.-2 before
the over-coming inarch of the spar-
row. But the sparrow «lid not pass
away with the catezpillal‘. llucuiue
toslay. He was biougliz here to do
battle against a crawl.ng Luisance and
zfldestrc-ye: of valuable shade trees.
He came, he saw, lie deaozired and
he can ,uered. For a time we peited
the saucy little bird. llc tbrove
on our kindness. H; sat on his perch
awatch for moths, and like an arrow
from a bow, he darted down, turned
-oniersaults. executed feats in the air
that eclipsed the trapezists, caught
the wobbling moth and X‘:i.l.ll‘H€(i to
his perch. Then he divested his
quarry of wings and swallowed him,
eggs and all.

so the sparrow came and the cater-
pillar disappeared. Our citizens re-
jciced and were glad that they could
walk abroad without crunching a
million worms under foot and with-
out carryiug home a dozen or two
choice specimens on their garments.
Brita; last the sprurow. being oin-
uivorous, as all intelligent ci'cal1il'el-i.
going-rally are, began to levy and col-
lect tribute from the vegetable world.
H had done his work. H»: kept do-
ing his woik. And he did it so well
tliaz. the moths became scarce and did
not suflice to feed him. For, like
some creatures of as larger growth, the
sparrow delights in a good dinner.
Iieis always dining out when he is
not fighting, and, like most creatures,
he tights best on a full stomach. He
began to eat grain, and perhaps some
small fruits. And the people whom
he had blessed and who had blessed
him began to complain that the spar-
row was meddlins: with their din-
ners. Then arose very wise and
learned people wise and learned in
all but true knowledge—and declared
that the sparrow was not and had
never been an insectivorous bird, but
was graminivorous, and not a boon
but a freebooter. _

Having used the sparrow to kill the
worm nuisance. and having no fur-
ther use for him, some of these wise
people, who always demand some-
thing for nothing, went to Harris-
burg and obtained a decree for the
annihilation of the sparrow. The
sparrow must go. say these people.
Thry urge everybody to make war
upon the sparrow. They want to un-
do all that we have done in educat-
ing the boys to respect the birds, and
let loose the spirit of murder. 80
the press eggs on the boys *0 kill the
sparrow, because the sparrow is a
nuisance, and because it is the true
mark of enterprising jrurnalisui to
teach men to destroy and not to build
up and iegulate. We are glad to be
able to predict that the sparrow will
la(Jl'; its own despite foolish law.-‘, silly

Night on_the angry billows;

Shines mm». a friendly beacon.
To save from the t»;uipe»t’s power.

Said the keeper --the brave Max Erdmunn,
As he worked in the tower that night,

“I wonder, if down on tl-e lower {.‘O.{.‘3If,
Their lamp is burning bright?

“Young Franz and Ivan——the keepers-
May be care-less;—I think I'll go

And look from the cliff;— I must hasten back,
For the oil in my lamp is low.”

So away he sped through the darkness,
To the zuouiitoin peak afar;
And saw, through the gloom of the driving

Like the smilc of a. beautiful stat‘.

ofany yout‘-nfulness. As the Nieces

have become liegligent, I thought it a

Now it looks like their banner was
in danger of trailing in the dust and
that if the standard beaier did not
soon come to the rescue it would be
diflicultiorally the scattered forces.
But I have faith he will when the reville
that has been sounded, reaches his ear.
It reaclicrl mine some time ago and I

Aunt Prue, if this is accepted and I
become one of the band of voluntee s

The Risks of Bonanza Farming.

One of the largest wheat fields in the
world is the immense ranch in Calusa
county, California, belonging to the
estate of Dr. Hugh Glenn. It required
a day to ride around one of the wheat.
fields on a. smart horse, and it was a
day’s work for a man to drive a gang
plow from one end to the other. It re-
quired a fleet of ships to carry the
grain raised by Dr. Glenn every year,
and it cost him $10,000 to drive the
Wild geese out of his fields every sea
soni This was the bonanza farm of
the woild, and was supposed that the
owner must be ilnmensly wealthy.His
business capacity and general level-
headedness were undoubted, and i.
was the possession of these qualities
which secured to him the democratic
nomination for governor of California
in 1879. A few months ago Dr. Glenn
was murdered by his bookkeeper, and
the truth about his big farm came on‘.
There were debts to the amount of
$1,000,000 on the principal farm, and
the whole 4 state was in such a condi-
tion that one or: p failure would have
knocked the bottom out of the bonanza
and ruined the owner. The immense
fortune of Dr. Glenn turns out to be
very moderate. and his heirs are only
too happy to find that there ls_a sur.
plus to divide. Bonanza farming is
as uncertain as an y other form or
gambling, for in effect the owner of
one of these immense wheat fields
stakes everything on the chances of
getting a crop, and loses all in the
event or a failure.

IT is a. great improvement ‘to bake
apples in an eurtiieu crock or jar with
a cover on it. Put in a. llalbteacup of
water and bake in it hot oyeu for an
hour, or until soft. The different: va-
rieties of the Crabb and other small
apples are pil1‘tlCuld.l'I)’ 11116 bflked 111
this way.

' HAVE your tinner turn down a hem
around the edges of your zinc and
make holes for the tacks; then if 2011
place one or two thicknesses of build-
ing-paper under it as you tack it down;
it will save much wear and tear and
some vdxation.

A Curious Phenomenon.

The. Vii'gil1i:l E/lierprisc gives the fol-
lowing particulars lll regzird to £l.t1lli-
nel tlliit resents being it tunnel, and
insists upon being just the opposite.
Its location is Czlsllc district, at a
point about live miles north of Vir-
ginia City. It was run about four years
ago into the side of It steep hill, and
was originally about 40 ft in length.
When ill about 10 ft., the tunnel cut
into a. soft, s\\'elliii;.;' clay, very dillicult
to inaiinge. After timberillg and striv-
ingugzliiist the queer, spongy inn-.eri;ll
till it llnd been penetrated some :3 lt.,
the miners gave up the light, as they
found that it was 21. losing gzunc. Be
ing left to its own devices, the tunnel
proceeded to repair «lainages. It is
very plainly sllowu that it resented
the whole business, as its llrst move
was to push out all the timbers and
dump them down the hill. It did not
stop at that, but projected froui the
mouth of the tunnel in pith or stopper
of clay the full size of the excuvaltioli.
This came out horizontally some eight
feet as though to look about and see
what had become of the miners, when
it broke off and rolled down the slope.
In this way it has been going on until
there are some hundreds of tons of
the clay at the foot of the hill. At lirst
it required only about :1. \\'e<~l{ for :1
plug to collie out anll brezik oil’, then it
moi-ltl1,2l11il so on till now the lllatsscs
are ejected but three or four times per
year, yet the motion continues, and to-
day the tunnel has the better of the
light about four feet.

Japan Life in Boats.

In Chinu some families are born and
die in salt. mines, wlthoiit ever living,
above grouml, and in Japan sonic
are born and die in the same way
on boats without ever living on ’:lI10I'L2

One of the most interesting I'vtlCl1l‘i'm
0: Japanese life to me,” says a recent
traveler there, “was the manner of
livingz in the boats and juliks, tl,\.ou.~:
LHIIIS of which frequent. every be);
along the coast. The awkward junks
always belong to the members of one
family, and us ally every l)I'&'»1(:I1 cl’
the flunily, old and young, live on
bo.»_rd.

The smaller sailboats are made like
arm: row fiutboat. and the sail (they
nevrr have but one) is placed very
near the stern, and extends from the
mast about. the same (ii-stance in either
direction, 4. 6., the must runs up the
mid le of the Ball when it is spread.

In these little boats men are l:O[‘I.l
and die, without ever having an abid-
ing-place on shore. VVoman and all
are nearly nicked, except it rains,
w en they p=l‘r.cn fringy straw mats,
which gives them the appearence of
being thatched. At night ifin harbor,
tl=-ey bend poles over the boat from
side to side in llie shape. ofa bow, and
cover them with this straw, water
tight fringe and go to sleep altogether
like 3 lot or pigs.

Achild three years old can swim
like a fish; and often children who
will not learn of their own accord, are
repeatedly thrown overboard until
they become expert swimmers. In
the harbors children seem to be per-
petually tumbling overboard, but the
mothers deliberately pick them out of
the water, and cutting them a little,
go on with their work. It is really
astonishing at what age these rims
and girls will learn to scull a boat.

I ha‘ is seen a boat twenty feet long
inost adroitly manage ’ by three chil-
d-en, all under seven years of age. I
am told notwitnstandirlg their apiness
at swimming, in-any boannen get
drowned, for no boat ever goes to an-
otller’s aid, nor will any '.-oacmun
save another from drowning. because,
as he says, it is all lite. and he who
iilterfcres with fate w.ll be severely
punished in some way. Besides this,
the saving ofa boatm-an’s life only
keeps a chatling soul so much longer
in purgatory, when it ought to be re-
leased by the death ofthe sailor which
[hr gods, by fate, seem to have select-
ed for the purpose.——Goo¢l (J/leer.

 

b‘Eci:E'i‘Ai:Y ’I‘ELLEit has doubtless
very mucll shocked the i'ullro:u1s etc-

custoined for years to the dcfereiitizil

treatiliciit cl‘ the S(:l'V£lllCS of the people,
by public ollicers. He not only claliius

Ti-IERI-3 are less than 12,000 lawyers
in Grew Britain, whose population is
about 37,000,000 souls, while in the
United States, with a. population of
52,000,000, there are 05,000 lawyers.
In Great Britain there is an average
of one lawyer to each 3,000 people, and
in the United States one to each 800.

 

IF Grange teachings were every-
where carried out the necessity for so
many lawyers would pass away. It is
no wonder so many of them have to
combine politics with their profssslon.

Ir seems as difficult to disabuse the-

No matter 'wlr.v.t -were opinions may
have previously been when ni2intain-
ing there were two kalid-'. SCIHIIIIIIC
facts have since decided that .5‘. Napo-
leora2(so called) is a. myth. To quote
the Hluphallc language of the editor:
“Nrs})Ole0Ii’S wil low is the female plant.
Nothing but th- fen.-ale has been any-
where grown till the introduction re-
cently of S Japonica, which is toe
mole form of the same. And Napo-
leon’.-i willow is simpTy ‘ll.-c willow
from 1\'upoleon’s tomb, and is really .5‘.
Baby buica, or Weeping; willow.”
From the history of the <)I‘lgll].‘)l
Nap-ileon weeping willow, it seems to
have been a fair slzeil tree WIIPYJ the
exile first landed from H..\I.S.Norili-
umberland in 1813, and was no doub:
introduced’, with other trees from
England some time about 1810.
During my steps on the island I
met the celebralell old soldier Toni
Hvezis, who claimed to have been
Napoleon's gardener at Longwood
house. And a more loquacious soldier
or garrulous gardener I should think
never shouldered a musket or handlc-d
a spade. This remarkable man, of
spear and pruning hock fame, was oi.e
of the Peninsula heroes when but a
youth of riineteen vears of age, and
was justly proud of the part be per
formed in thu military acllievmenisof
Wellington. It was his misfortune to
lose an eye at Toulouse, and after Wat.-
erloo be accompanied his regiment,
which guarded Napoleon at St. Hele-
na. From my informanfls account,
“Bony,” as he always called him,“was
amorose and melancholy man, and,
who cared not a gun-flint for agardeil;
but madame, wife of Gen. Bertrand,
did, and took g. eat delight in the cul-
tivation of flowers.” The same lady
planted several willows by the ex-em-
peror’s grave, raised from cuttings of
the origiualone, which was destroyed
by a hurricane which swept furiously
over the Island soon after Napoleon’:-i
death. And it is probable the two
much u utilaled trees the writer saw
are the only sur vivors left.
As regards the right or wrong -kind
of Napoleons willows which travelers
lake away, it only remains for me to
show they are lil:ly to be deceived in
the matter. No sooner does the stran-
gi r wend his way towards the landing
place at the foot Jainestown, than II-'.'
is beset wi-..h a iloisy inult.ir_.ude of wll~
low venders. whose clsmcrous indoor-
‘tuuities to purchase are eyonel des-
cription. -‘Such a commercial spirit as
is evinced by the Island gainlns, big
and little, is more ren1a:kable triat-
pleasanL,especially if the luckless way-
farer is not disposed to buy. 'I‘hey
seem to have a large stock of wellroot-
ed plants, growioginjars, cigar boxes,
paint ks-gs, &c., in readiness for siege.
And, as it the sole aim of life was to
sell the voyager a Napoleonic souve-
nir, they persistenly pester and plague.
him into buying. And no sooner
does the stranger yield ‘Lo temptation
than the hsirpies surge around him,
en masse, loudly vociferating he
has been swinded. With a seeming
virtuous indignation the transaction
is pronounced a shameful fraud.
Surely perplexed, while badger-ed
about to understand the meaning of so
furious 9. hubbard about so small a
matter, the hapless victim is forced to
believe he has unwittingly bought the
wrong sort, the Jamestown instead of
the Longwood kind. Feeling cha-
grined at the motley ragarnuffins’dupli-
city, some more of the right kind has
to be bought, and with which the out-
raged purchaser runs the gauntlet as
best he can, to the friendly boat await-
ing. The next su rprise in reserve to
astonish the bewildered bonhomie, is
the discovery of so many little willow
groves, much like his own, scattered

  
 

about the ship. . jg which he stag-

has lost 3. \Vorthy and much respected mem-
ber, his family a. kind companion, and on in-
dulgent hiialier, the community a good citizen,
ii. genial lrieud and neighbor.

Itemlved, That as we believe his life was
shortened by hardships endured, and services
rendered during our country’s struggle for
existence, we feel that a double tribute of re-
gard is due his memory as that of a. patriot
martyr.

Resolved, That while we ourselves are sad-
dened by this event, we would not forget
those more closely related, but would unite in
extending our heartfelt sympathies to wife
and children, in this their great uifliction.

Resolved, 'I'ha.t these resolutions be spread
upon the records of the Grange, a copy be
sent to the bereaved wife and children, also
to the editor of the Gannon VISITOR. for
publication. C. MEAD, Sac’y

NOW IS THE TIME

To go west and select from 2,000,000 acres of
lands which I offer for sale in the best part
of the west. But, before you go west, lease
look over the long list of lands which now
0381' for sale in Berrien county, Michigan.
This list comprises about 4,000 acres of fruit,
farm, and stock lands, among which may be
found fine fruit farms, with palatial residences,
and every variety of fruits iudigeneous to this
unrivaled Lake Shore region.

A large number of small fruit farms, of ten
to forty acres, located in the center of the
fruitrgrowing region, at prices from $25 per
acre, and upwards.

1,000 acres of timbered lands of best quality
for fruit growing or general farming, situated
along the line of the C. is W. M. R. R., be-
tween Stevensville and Bridgman stations.
These lands have but recently been placed on
the market, and consist of some of the most
desirable land in the State of Michigan, and
will be sold in lots to suit purchasers at 810 to
825 per acre, on favorable terms.

2,000 acres of wooded, hill and vale, on the
Lake Shore, at prices from $2 to $4 per acre,
cash. These lands were partially denuded of
timber by the great fire of 1571, but are now
covered with a dense second growth of timber,
schrilbs, wild 1'rui’s and grasses, and all favor-
ably lccated for fruit growing, and have been
proved well adapted to sheep and stock grow-
mg.

all the strain nil‘ Lllx: l.
the spring slvlcs.

The " Bi-‘.ni~;T1'1~:" is :1 soft, easy spring bed
without springs or mattress, which is not true
ot any other spring bed, whether folding or
otherwise, whether cheap or expensive.

it is a delightful warm xv: other bad, there
being only one thickness of soft flexlllle cloth
under the sleeper, thus giving an even cool
temprratuxe 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 wesritller
and gives it off through the night as the tem-
perature becomes cooler, thus‘ma.kixlg it un-
comfortably warm to lie on. causing restless-
ness and often causing disease Not so with
the “BEDETTE; ” by leaving nllclothing from
under the sleeper, he will be comiortably
cool in the hottest weather. This cannot be
done with other beds as they must have some-
hi ng on to make them soft.

The “ Bnnnrrn ” is unequaled for sick
moms, as the temperature can be regulated
from below as well as from above, thus obviat-
ing the necessity of cooling the room by the
use of ice in cases of fevers. etc. '

No family should be without one at least.
It can be folded up to six inches square by its
length and is easily put out of the Way when
not in use and makes a perfect ted in itself
when wanted. Weighs only 2:3 pounds and is
strong enough to hold the weight of three
heavy men.

Do not punish yourselves and cl.il<‘:rcn by
trying to sleep on hot, musty mutrel-.scs
through the warm weather but procure “Bl-JD-
E'I".."1-Js” and sleep peacefully and henlthfully.
