how our pork is made. The porkcr is
confined in :1 narrow pen, filthy besides
being small; breathing air that is reek-

stantly in the filth and impurities. of
his narrow sty must be tainted through

Durability of Posts.

It has long been a disputed po'nt
whether poets set in the ground “Lop
end down" Will lax-xtlonger than when
set in the position in which they grew.
To obtain a satisfactory answer to this
question . some fifteen years ago, when
building grape trellises, we eat the
posts of one row “upside down.” all
others “butt end”down. All lheposts
were Chestnut, and when they com-
menced to decay we could see no d1f-
ference in -heir durability-—a‘l came
down and had to be replaced about the
same time.

Professor Beal’s careful experiments
made at the Michigan Agricultural
Cu1lege,with different kinds of timber.
showed the same results. In some
cases it was the"-op end d0wn,”which
la-ted longer, in others, the “bottom
end down,” and sometimes there was
no difference in durability ; from
which it is inferred that where one
piece rlecayed more than the nther, it
was caused by some trifling 111fl‘_-rencea
in the sticks.-American Garden.

strong statement, but perhaps true.-—
ED. Ricv1Ew.] '1‘l1ere is less timber
about the flame-work than in any
shingle roof, and the roof itself is little
more than the boards on which to lay
the shingles.

The half-inch stuff is stock boards
1-e-sawed. Dry pine is best. The 0
stock is good enn11gl1 for the first
course, B stock for second, and fence
boardsmeszzwed for the third, if one is
used. Here is a roof that any farmer
can build. Three men can cover 21 roof
113x611 feet in three hours, and the gas
tar, which is cheap, can be put on
rapidly with any 11111 broom or mop.

Evaporating Fruits and Vegetables.

’l‘l1eprn1‘-ess 11f evaporming fr11ite1
should not be 1-oufoun11ed with the
or1linar_y rrethod of drying, which
1-:1llsiutoplaytl1e agency of b11umer-
able hosts of mes, bees, etc.-.. which
extract not only the watery, but con-
siderable of the most desirable part
of the frui-11 and vegetables, leaving 8
s11bs1ance w hich would not be palat-
-1’Ie, had we witnes-1ee11 the manner of
its preparation.

In any process of evaporation, the
gn-at1lesi1l1=ratum is the application
of intense heat in the first stage of
drying, except in the case of grapes-
and .-iniilar fruits, where extreme
l1e.-.1twillbursttl1e skin and allow zhe
juir-etn11111 out,—as the great heat
will, by atlectirng the outer surface of
tl1cs11l111tan1:1-, form an impenetrable
external coating, thus retaining the
flavor and owe’ desirable qualities of
the fruit.

'l‘l1e-best arrnuw-me11t, and. in11ee1l.
tl1e11:)l_\' proper one, is to subject the
material to a 1-untin1:o11s current of
hot air. This 1-111-rent cannot be made
hot enougli to scorch or burn the f uit,
ifit be kept in bxi.-k motion; but let
it 118011111‘? stagnant for a 1.-hort time,
111111 the product will un1loubte1lly be
ruined by the intense heat.

There are many patterns of evapor-
ator: tbax 1l0g11(»1l woik. The Ameri-
can is e.-pecially to be recnmmendul
on accouutof its simplicity. It con-
sists11faniu1-ll11e1l Wooden flue with
the beater placed un1ler the laws-r
end, .-11111111, when the first tray is
placed 111, the fruit rests 1l1'r11-tly over
the heater; and when, after being
th1')m11gl1ly 11¢-21.11-11, zmother is added
by simply puslih-g against the first,
the latter is forced up the trunk and
the second takes its place. Thxe is re-
peated with each successive tray, and
in this way there need be no larger
opening to the external air than
about four inches in width. ’l his is a
great advantage over evaporators in
which the trays are placed one above
the other. These work well enough
foratray or two: but 1- hen 21 11111111
or more are already in place, and it
is desired to put in others, the entire
number have to be drawn out and

slipped in one tier higher, to make:

room for the new one. Thus the en-
tire side of the house beconws ex-
po-ed, and (consequently filled with
cold alr. which requires to be I cared
before any progress can be made, caus-
ing also uu11ece-ssary labor and useless
expense of fuel, which can easily be
saved.

R‘».lupl)6l'l‘l(:".’~! we have found to be
very profitable, as three quarts of
the freak) fiuit yield one pound of the
evaporated, and this has a ready sale
at thirty-seven cents per pound. So,
in case the market prices for lresh
berries are down, it is an easy matter
to put them in such a scape that we;
can commzmd butter figures.

(Iorn. properly evaporated, makes a’
dish fully equal to that just cut from
the cobb, at a cost of about tifze-en
cents per pound. Halfa p1 und is sulfi-
ci1-nt for a. family meal.

Pumpkins also make 2 1.01111 article,
when evaporate1l,——fu1ly equal to fresh
ones for making pie.-1, thus extending
the pie sermon through the entire year.

Many other fruits and vegetables
whi-..h can readily be dried have not
yet taken a place in the market, or
are not known in this condition to
commerce. Among these are dried
sweet; potanes. wh ch those who have
tried tnem l1ke very much. When
thus preserved, they are safe from
front or other contingeuc-, and, al-
though not in condition for being
baked, are excellent for etc-wing.

Evaporated Peach 3 and Apples are
now extensively shipped to European
ports, and are 11 great factor in our ex-
porting trade. Evaporated Sweet Corn
will also before long rank with these
as an important article of export, on
account of its superiority over the
canned article.

Almost any vegetable or fruit can
have its surp‘us water driven off‘ by
proper evaporation, and, by again re-
storing tbat water when wanted for
use, make a highly welcome substi-
tute when the fresh article is not to be
had.—Jaa. Edge-rton, in the American
Garden.

 

SEVERAL causes combine to make
the present an era of exceptional pros-
perity to beef-raisers. First, in spite
of the apparent great increase in the
cattle trade, the number of cattle is
smaller in proportion to the population
than it was twenty years ago. Secondly
the consumption of meat 1S constantly
increasing, even faster then the mere
growth of population. Thus the yearly
average consumption per capita in
Europe is 50 pounds, whereas in the
last century it was only 25. In Great
Britain it is 110 pounds, and in the
United States, 120. Tbirdly, the rail-
roads seem to be doing their best to
prevent chcapening at prices, by so
adjusting their rates as to check the
t1'a.de in dressed beef from the Wes t.
Since 1861) the population of the United
States has i11crea.sed135 per cent, while
the increase in livestock has been
barely 50 percent.—Fm-mere’ Review.

 

S1(1.\1Med milk is one of the very best
articles of diet for laying hens, and so
far as they can use it, it can be ut to
no more profitable use. Mixe with
wheat bran it makes an excellent feed
for growing chicks.

SCHOOLGRAFT.

THE ANTI-NIONOPOLY CONVENTION.

‘ The so-called National Convention of
"Anti-monopolists assembled in Chicago
on the 4th of July for the purpose of

V organizing a new political party. The

"proceedings of the convention illus-
trated and emphasized the hopeless-
ness of any such political action.
The delegates were a mixed multitude,
many of them self-elected and all ap-
parently without plan or definite pur-
pose. Demagogues and political
cranks, socialists and comiiiuiiists of
various degrees of fierceiiess and fool-
is‘hne-ss were in attendance, all in the
name of anti-monopoly. There was
-the same difficulty, only in an aggra-
vated form, which always obtrudes it-
self in the case of any political inoVe-
ment supposed to be especially in the

» interest of the laboring classes against

the monopoly of capital. Such move-
ments are usually over-whelnied at
the outset by a tide of impracticables.

' The convention at Chicago had the

~courage and strength to reject Dennis

. 1Keari1ey and Stephen Maybell, of Cali-
fornia, but it was after a. hard fight,
and after submitting to the infliction
of a speech from the sand lot man that
would disgrace an assemblage of men
intent on any good purpose. The very
fact that such men as Dennis Kearney
are attracted to a. political party is an
omen of failure for that party. The
successful reforms of our history have
not been thus weighted. The political
movement against slavery never
seemed to attract the attention of dis-
reputable elements.

Perhaps the fundamental weakness
in the formation of this anti-monopoly
political party was the tendency to
make the proposed reforms too exten-
-sive and too varied in character. A
.1-eform party to have any strength
must undertake but one reform at El.
‘time. Any union of reformers in gen-
..eral is impossible because there are
about as many projects of reform as
there are reformers and very few can
unite on the same project. In the Chi-
=cago convention, some brought for-
ward the question of woman suffrage
:as if they supposed the convention to
have been called for that express pur-
pose, Others" were intent upon a cru-
sade against the National banking
system. If Herr Most, the German
socialist had been in this country he
would doubtless have been present to
urge his favorite scheme of compell-
iizig every banker and capitalist to have
a ball and chain attached to his leg and
to work at breaking stories on the
highway. _ ,

After all the angry dissension and
wild oratory a very IBSPGCW-ble Plat‘
form of principles was produced.
Good things are favored, urged and
demanded and bad things are de-
uounced and opposed. No definite
gemedy, however, is in any 0330 PTO‘
posed, and herein is the hopeless fea-
-ture of the platform. It is important
that all should understand the mag-
nitude of the railway monopoly, but
it is absurd to organize a. political

. party merely to state the existence of
the evil. That can be stated and
proved without a party organization
The most definite part of the platform
relates to the establishment of a
postal telegraph and the amendment

of the patent laws, but the kind of

 

amendment and the 1)l'lll(,‘lplf‘S involved
are not iiiadv: clear.

()ii the whole we do not see that the
iruv llll(il'e.>‘l5 of anti-iiioiiopoly will be
.“.i’lVdll(.‘P(I by this 2ll.I,(‘l1l[)I to organize a
political par. 3‘.

GOVERNMENTAL CONTROL AND THE DUTY
OF THF CITIZEN.

In the 1\’m'l/1 Americrm. Iifeview of
July, Hon. William S. Holliiiaii pre-
sents some figures for tho consideration
of its rcziders that it would be’ well to
have placed before every voter who
retains ll siiice-re love of couiitry.

Party platforms are often <-oristructed
more to niaiiitaiii party siiprciiiacy or
attain thereto, than for any more wor-
thy object. and cconoi'iiy in public ex-
pe-iiditure is a plank in the platform of
every political p:ii*Ly—-—li:is been from
Liiiic iiniiieiiiorial, and probably always
will bc. If this iiicaiis anything it
proves that political iiiainigers know
that the people really want a good gov-
crnmcnt, ccoiioniically coiiductcd.

From the showing of .\Ir. llolliiiaii
we conclude that the tendency of otli-
Cllll life is to extravzigaiicc. Wlietlicr
this comes ofthe ciiiployiiiciit, or wheth-
er it simply shows that oilicials largely
come from aclass that have little coii-
science aiid are :il\v:-.ys rc.-idy with a
1:11-text to ;I,el.\,‘I)ll1(Llil1l,'_,’ 1‘oi'iioi1iiiig, is
zi iiiutter easily :11‘-ci«i(»,«i. This (-Xl.l'2l.Vil.-
giuicc in this (:ouiiti'y is only coi‘i'ected
when the people are aroused and de-
iiiaiid retrcnclimciit lll such tliuiidci'-
ous toiics as to compel coiiipliiiiice.

This is best shown by some figures
prcsciitcd in the articlc referred to.

“In 1841 the eiitirc Clll‘l‘(‘.llt ordinary
cxpeiiditures oiiiittiiig the extraordin-
ary, pensions, iiiterest, and pai ment on
the public d(-bt, were .~32:~;,so~:,4o7..T.\‘, In
the cxpciiditlirc, the executive otliccr is
not n\'(‘l‘l4u)l(('(l and for that scrvicc the
whole appi‘opriatioii was as follows: For
animal repairs of the Presidents house,
ga1'diier’s salary, horse and cart,labore1's
and tools, and amount due M. Masi dz
Co. for repairs on furniture $2,028.”
At the foot of this list of appropriations
for 1881, the following interesting
legend arrests attention. “No new
offices created, or salaries increased.”
Such at the end of half a century was
the force of a great example and public
vigilence and yet the expenditures of
1841 were materially above the average
of that period at least of ensuing years,
and exceeded by two million dollars
those of the preceediiig year. Up to
this period the expenditures of govern-
ment including pensions and excluding
the public debt was $632,351,388. Our
territory had been vastly extended by
two great purchases, and our popula-
tion had reached beyond seventeen
millions.” Twenty years later for
the years 1861 the appropriations were
-‘$6-1,621.603. This does not show a rela-
tive increase iii current expenses as
the disturbed condition of the country
added materially to current expenses
but clearly shows the tendency to in-
creased expenditure. Pass over anoth-
ei twenty years and examine the figures
which we quote and consider the lesson
they teach. “The appropriation for
the current ordinary expenses of 1882
were $148,-112,071.46, and for the present
fiscal yea1'$179,729,015.21 pensions and
public debt in both years excluded. In
1841 at the beginning of our second
half-century our population exceeded
seventeen millions, and our current or-
dinary expenditures, civil list, consular
and diplomatic, postal service, army,
navy, and miscellaneous (pension and
public debt excluded,) have increased
on the basis of the appropriations
above given, in the period of forty-two
years more than seven fold. * * *
The decline of old time frugality is
everywhere manifest. The most un-
expected objects for expenditure are
discovered. The appropriations for the
present year contain $61,686.45 for ex-
Denses incurred by gentlemen in their
contests for seats in Congress.

“At the close of our first century $29,-
128, was deemed sufficient compensa-
tion of the President and the expenses
of the -executive ofiice; in President
Linc0lri’s term $30,600, was all that was
required; while $141,164 is barely suf-
ficient for the present year with $25,500
for the improvement of the ground on
the south and roadways and sidewalks
on the north of the executive mansion.”

This reference to the cost of improve-
ments about the executive mansion in
1883 invites a retrospective glance at
the “horse and cart” of 1841 and that
don’t seem very long ago, nor is it in
the life of a nation.

But we started out to show by quota-
tions and references to this article, the
power of public opinion when once
aroused, and we proceed to quote. “The
war of 1812 had so increased the de-
mands on the Treasury that in 1816, the
ordinary expenditures exceeded 823,
000,000; and yet, at the close of the
fourteenth Congress the famous com-
pensation Act was passed enlarging
the pay of Congressmen from six dollars
per day during the session, to $2,500 per
year.

This act was deemed mercenary and
venal and aroused the fiercest indigna-
tion throughout the country. The ob-
noxious measure was promptly re-
pealed, but the greater number of the
members of Congress who had sup-
ported it were promptly and perma-
nently retired from public life. This
exhibition of public feeling produced
positive results, and the current ordi-
nary expenditures were heavily and
persistently reduced.

TEE fifiélllfifi VISITOR.

As late as 182:} they were $8,004,-
.'»7o‘,o7, and iii 182:1 the last year of John
Q. Adams’ 2Ulll1llllSIl‘al2lOll $11,6.‘v1,615.93.
The log-cabin campaign of 1810 led to
a searching inquiry into public ex-
penditures and reanimated the people
with admiirition and love for the old-
tlfllt-‘. f.l‘l1g'.iIlt}' of their government.
This wzis followed by a period of posi-
tive l‘€tl'6llI‘I1lllFfllI and as late as 1811-1.
the current ordinary expenditures for
the }‘(:ill' wore but $18,628,099. One can-
not llllagllll‘ the financial condition of
that period. and of the preceding years
without bclllg iiiiprcssed with the coii-
viction that the most ti mpestuous po-
litical campaign, when animated by
qiicstioiis and measures of public ad-
iiiiuistration, may have it most whole-
some and purify_ingiiitluciice oii pub-
lic affairs."

In pursuing this subject, reference is
made to the closing liours of the forty-
secoiid COl1g1'(‘:‘«S, which made itself iii-
fiiI1l0llS by the large increase of sala-
ries including th: of the prcsideiit;
the crowuiiig odiuni being the retroact-
ive coiiipeiisation to the ineinbers
tlieiiiselvcs. The following pziragrapli
gives further illustration of the power
of public opinion and recognizes the
true principles of the Order of l’atroiis
of llusbaiidiy and its etllcient work.

“The Forty-tliird (‘oiigress liastciied
to undo the work of its predecessor so
far as possible: but the public indig-
nation was not appeased; the eiior-
mous budget of expenditure was care-
fully explored, the spirit of the Grange
inoveiiient, especially in the West, iii-
spircd impartial criticism and inde-
pendent action.”

These landmarks and the current
history of the government demon-

strates beyond question that even the
most sweeping retrencliments that
hzive ever been made in our ex-
pciiditures have not embarrassed
the public service for an hour;
and furthermore, that in a government
like ours there is no safe ground be-
tween economy and prodigal expendi-
ture; that the administration will eith-
er be frugal and honest, or lavish and
corrupt, and more clearly demonstrate
that the only guaranty for frugal and
holiest government is to be found in
the vigilance of the people.”

As will have been noticed in quota-
tions made, the writer has faith in the
people, the power behind the throne;
and little in the army of officers who
prey upon while they serve the people.

Coiidenining "the vicious practice so
long tolerated of creating and employ-
ing public patronage as a reward for
partisan services,” he goes on to say,
“a motive largely mercenary for enter-
ing the public service is fatal to public
honor, and it is perfectly safe to pre-
dict that any system of civil service re-
form which proposes to leave the sal-
aries ofollicers and employees of the
government, as now greatly above the
rate of compensation paid in private
cmploynients for services requiring an
equal or a similar degree of integrity
industry, and capacity wil prove a de-
lusion and a snare.” l\'liat then is the
duty of the citizen in the light of his-
tory? The figures we have given
point to a necessity for the people
again to admonish those who appropri-
ate thcir money, and those whose duty
it is to stand guard over the disburse-
ments from the treasury. In this ad-
monition the independent voter iuust
perform the important part.

The people are prone to adhere to
party, but the lessons of history teach
the necessity of setting aside the obli-
gations imposed by party managers
when those conflict with personal coii-
victions and in the true spirit of inde-
pendence condemn with the ballot, as
occasion arises, any and every man in
ofiicial life who has proved unfaithful
to the welfare of the great mass of the
people.

FARMERS and Patrons, don’t go to
law! Let come what may come, doii’t
burden your hearts and minds with
litigation. If you have differences in
regard to property or rights or other
issues, submit the questions to arbitra-
tion of neighbors, disinterested par-
ties of course, and abide the result.
Better do this than chain yourselves to
the car of a lawyer and become his
victim and slave till you have not a
dollar left to make you of any interest
to him. The administration of law
and justice is more uncertain now
than ever before, and is becoming
worse every day, - while the expenses
are certainly ruinous. Within the past
two years nearly a dozen suits have
been taken from this circuit to the
supreme court and reversed and new
ti-i‘a.ls ordered. A lawsuit is worse
than a. conflagration.

ANDREWS’ Bazar for August is by
all odds the handsomest number ever
published. It is evident that it has
fallen into bands who know what the
ladies wautin a Fashion paper, and
know how to publish it. Its low
price (only $1 19. year) places it within
the reach of all, while its styles, sto-
rice and table of c"ntents generally,
compare very favorably with those of
the high cost foreign and Ameri-
can publications of its class. Pub-

STATE REFORM SCHOOL.

\\"- find on our table the lJl(‘1llll:ll
l'~’:p0l‘l. for the two _Vc:irs ending Sep-
leinber :30, 1882. of the Iitv:ll‘1lI'll' (‘ou-
trol of the State l’.«-forni Scliool.

This State iiistitutioii as most of our
readers probably know is located at
Lansing, not more than a mile from
the State Capitol.

From the l‘(‘[)<)1‘t of the .s'uperinteiid-
cut we gather a few facts that must
interest our people. He says “The
whole nuiiibei‘ committed to the school
since its ope ing is 2,704, of which
1iuiiiber3112 have been received since
biepteiiiber 30, 1880.” There has been a
rapid increase within the two years
covci-e»d by this report, and the super-
lllIt‘I)(lPlll. shows ‘hat if this l]l(.‘l‘e2lS€
continues, either that iiistitution must
be eiilarged, ziiiotlier one for the s:iin(-.
purpose built, or the county agciits
whose duty it is to seek out lioiiies for
boys and girls that have been sent to
the State rcforiiiatories, and the Stzitc
Public School, must do better or i".itl'ier
iiiorc work in finding ll()Ill(>‘S for tlicsc
jll\'L‘lill<‘ wards of the State. b'uperiii-
teiidciit (lower evidently thinks this
the better plan for he says, “Appi‘ecia-
ting fully the good work we are do-
iiig I can but lwliiwv that there is no
place for 11 goon! boy like it good home,
and that much of the cxpeiisc iiicui‘1'cd
in gcttiiig boys into the lteforiii Sr-liool
and iii inziiiilaiiiing llwlll while llt‘l‘(*,
iiiiglit be .\'&l\’(’,(l by an lioiicst ctfort iii
the way of tiiidiiig good ll(illl€S for
them in the localities from which they
are sent. That this is feasible has been
demoiistratcd by several county
agents.”

A well (lin-.(:tcil blow is aimed at some
of our civil otliceis iii the following
sentence. “With less tl(’Sll‘(‘, on the
part of many jiisiit-cs oi luv peace and
constables to obtain the fees incident
to the prosecution and commitment of
juvenile offenders, and more earnest
efforts on the part of many county
agents of the State Board of correc-
tions and charities in the way of find-
ing homes for those whose only crime
is that they are lionieless, commitments
to this institutioii would be fewer by
far than at present.” The present inan-
agenieut has inaugurated a new scheme
which seems to work well. Instead of
discliargiug boys and thus losing all
legal coiitrol, many of those who by
good behavior have obtziiiied the confi-
dence of the superinteiideiit are
granted at leave of absence. This docu-
ment reiuains in force two years and
during that time they are required to
report quarterly to the county agent of
the county in which they live and are
liable to be returned at any time
to the Reform School if they prove
unworthy of the confidence which
secured their leave of absence. Of the
94 granted leave of absence but nine
have been returned and some of these
through no fault of the boys but on ac-
count of having bad homes. The av-
erage time that boys who have been
released, remained in the institution
was 10 monlzlis. The following par-
agraplis from the report goes to con-
firm our belief that the institution is
in good hands.

“The health of our inmates has been
remarkable ood, there having been
but one deati for over three years,
and but few cases of serious illness.
This we feel warranted in attributing
to the extreme cleanliness which we
aim to maintain throughout our institu-
tion, and regular habits of eating, re-
tirin , and rising. ,

“AII the boys of the inszitution are in
school an average of four and a half
hours five days in each week, and work
the same time each day. On Saturda
afternoons the boys play on the yar .
The entire work of the institnt1on_1n-
cluding the farming. housecleaning,
dining-room work, preparation of
food, making and repairing of clothes,
bedding, and shoes, together with the
work in the engine-room and laundry
is done by the boys, under the direction
of competent overseers. The smaller

boys are, for the most part, em-
ployed in chair-caiiin . I hope
we may soon be abe to intro-
duce some mechanical industry,

which will be of more practical value
to the boys in after life than chair-
caning, which is valuable only as a
means of keeping the boys from idle-
ness in addition to bringing in a reve-
nue of about -$5,000.00 a year.

“Most of the boys in coming to us are
very backward intheir studies, many
even being entirely unable to read or
write. It is our intention to give to
each boy a fair knowle e of the com-
mon English branches efore he leaves
us, except when he is to go_home
where he will have an opportunity to
attend school. I_ have never seen in
any school so rapid progress made by
any pupils as with us. _ This is not on
account of any superior advantages
which we possess in the_way of_impart-
in instruction, but is attributable
en irely to the fact that we have a re -
ularity of attendance upon _schoo1 wor_
which cannot be attained in the public
school.”

This showing should give confidence
to men and women in our State who
can furnish good homes to boys who
would in return render good service
for all expenses incurred. There are
many families who need the help of a.
boy of a dozen years. The training
at this school makes them much more
desirable than the average boy.

THE SORGHUM SUGAR INDUSTRY.

The loiig (l(‘ltl_\'t’(l report on this sub-
ject iiizidc by a couiinittee of the Ku-

printed and appears as a paiiiplilet oi’

contained a iull account of the coiitro-
Versy between Commissioner Loriiig
and Prof. Collier upon the sorghum
question. Prof. Collier was the chem-

work and in his conclusions.

The c.\u‘2u'tion of the sugar known
to exist both in the sorgliuui and llw
uiaizc has long been a subject of dini-
cult and pcrplexiiig researcli. Experi-
merits have been inadc for many years
past, but up to 1878 the results \vei'c of
tlic most co1iti‘a(lictoi'_v cliiirztctci‘.
.\'oiiie (*llIl1|li5l‘(lSlLS l)t‘ll(‘\'t'(l that tlu-y
llélil solved tho pl’(Jl)ll‘lll, but those who
obtained good sugar products St’t‘llll‘ll
unable to repeat the process with any
kind of certainty. As an illiistratioii
of this confused and uiis:itisl'actoi‘y
state of our knowledge on the subject,
the report before us gives at the out-
set a list of conflicting opinions from
high authorities on what are deeuied
essential points. These iiuportzint
poiiits selected for comparison are:

1. The kind of sugar found in the
sorghum.

2. The best variety of sorghum for
the production of sugar.

3. The time for liarvestiiig, and
when the iriaxiiiium of sugar is pres-
ent in the juice.

4. The prouipt working of the cane
after cutting.

5. The necessity of further investi-
gation.

It is curious to read the conilicting
opinions on these subjects. Many ex-
perimenters insisted that there was no
cane sugar in sorghum and that noth-
ing could be done unless ii clieiiiical
law could be discovered by which glu-
cose can be changed into cane sugar.

The agricultural character of
sorghum is fully discussed in
the report. ‘It is found that the numer-
ous varieties formerly classed as dif-
ferent species really constitute but one
species. It is stated as it familiar law,
that the longer a species is cultivated,
and the wider its cultivation extends,
the more easily it changes into new va-
rieties, and the wider the differences
between those varieties become. Some
species, however, have a greater capa-
city for variation than others, and this
characteristic is essential to the use-
fulness of any agricultural species.
This species, Sorghum vulgare, it is
stated, has varied more widely under
cultivation than any other cereal, un-
less it be Indian corn.

The department has examined more
than forty varieties of sugar-yielding
sorghum, many of them of very unlike
characters. Some mature in 80 da'- s,
others require twice as long a time,and
one variety has become in a sense
perennial, a fact not true of any other
cereal species grown in the country.
Thcyivary in habit of growth and iii
‘sugar-content;the two extremes have

fills’-

-been developed here, the one is rich as

Louisiana sugar-cane, the other the
broom-corn, so poor in sugar. The
committee predict that new varieties
will yet be produced better than any
now known. No efforts have been
made to improve the sugar-content by
systematic selection and so plastic is
this species that results may be obtain-
ed superior to the tropical sugaixcane.
Indeed the committee remarked that
the sugar planter of Louisiana and
Texas “may possibly discover that he
has at command, in one or more of the
larger varieties of sorghum which like
the so-called “Honduras.” “Mastodon”
etc., attain at maturity, say in four or
five months, a growth of 18 to 20 feet
in height of 2 to 5 pounds per°stalk, a
sugar producing plant thoroughly adap-
ted to this climate and soil, equal and
perhaps superior in productive capaci-
ty of cane sugar to the “Ribbon,” "Red”
or “White" cane now grown there.”

One important conclusion reached by
the committee is given in the report as
follows:

“Agriculturally the sorghum question
is solved,so far as it can be until science
now does _her share. That the crop
may be widely and economically grown,
containing a satisfactory amount of
cane sugar, is sufiiciently proved. All
the problem remaining unsolved relates
to the extraction of sugar. In view of
the magnitude of the interests involved,
the results already obtained, and the
wide attention the matter is now re-

ceiving, we feel_ that there are most
encouraging indications of practical

success.’

THE STRIKE AND THE WESTERN UNION.

The great New York papers almost
uiianiiiiously denounce the strike of

likely to iiitci't'ci‘c with the lnisiiiess of
the country and cause some public iii-
coiiveiiiencc. They make no note of
the fact that the Western Union has
been on a strike for years and the en-
tire people who are the eiiiployers of
the conipaiiy have been compelled in
every iiistaiice to accede to the most
unreasonable demands. The present
business of the company pays a profit
able dividend on eighty million dollars
of stock which did not cost more than
tweiity-five millions. If the rates for
messages were decreased to one-third
the present tariff the profit on the real
cost of the plant would belargc enough
to make the iiivestineiit good, But if
l"¢J.l'.eS were diminished the volume ot'
business would increase’greatl y. so it
is thought that if the rates were one-
fiftli the present standard, good divi-
dends could be paid on unwatered
stock.

With these facts before us we are
not of those who deplore this strike.
We think good will come of it. Un-
like the strike of a few hundred or a
few thousand miners there will be
little or no suffering by poor, depend-
ent women and children, no matter
how long it lasts. And so far as the
general public is concerned it is not of
vast importance. The-current of busi-
ness in the commercial world will be
broken up somewhat and every acci-
dent and rascality may not reach the
compositor quite as soon. But for
these the public can afford to wait.
In fact it would be quite as well to
wait till doomsday for half the stuff
that is printed for news for we are
overloaded. We should remember that
which is worth remembering far bet-
ter if we were not so overloaded.

If this seriously affects the men en-
gaged in’ making corners and manipu-
lating stocks, that need not disturb the
people who never engage in these lines
of gambling. There has been from
time to time much talk and many ad-
vocates of the scheme of govern-
ment purchase and control of the
whole telegraph business of the coun-
try. The success of our postal system
shows that this is practical, and this
break will revive the discussion and
we hope to some good purpose. We
often have occasion to commend the
efficiency of the postal department of
the country, and we know of no rea-
son why the transmission of corres-
pon dence by telegraph should not be
mono olized by the government as
well as that of the postal service.

WIND POWER.

Late numbers of the Scientific
American have called attention of
inventors to the storage or wind
;ower. Wind has been harnessed as
afcrce or power for the use of man
for ages. It has proved its ability to
destroy as well as serve, and is one of
iiatlirels great active forces undimin-
ished by use or lapse of time. While,
until within avery few years it was
the motive i'r()Wel‘ on which the com-
trierce ofthe world relied, yet, it ll is
been superceded by steam, and in
navigation holds asecond place. This
power so illexilaustablc will again
take first plac» \Vll.‘:‘ ‘ever human in-
g--llnify shall dcviscameans of storage
i.ll.1i.Hhail not be too expensive or too
cumbersome for general appliuatio ‘.

The two methods of such storage
that have been discussell are its use in
condensing air and the other to gene-
ra e electricity which ‘ecent discovery
has found means to store for use.
The first is objected t I33 -equiring too
bulky and expensive :1 plant to pro
V de 9. reliable supply, and the sec-
ond is declared impracticable on
at-count of the waste of power and
other considerations that farther in-
vention must overcome to make stored
electricity as a motive power econom-
ical and desirable. It seems to us this
is a. field that inventors may explore
with a l‘c8SOIJ8blC prospect of securing
great results.

We have had 3 very large am runtof
rain here lately, but not nearly so
much as has fallen in Kent county
and vicinity. We are not injured s -
much by the rain, because the wheat
has not been ready to cut until now.‘
Cutting will be in good time if it’ is
next week. Most o. the grass about
hare is standing and if the rain stops
it can be put in the barn in good" order.
Corn is very backward and must have
an extra long season to save it from
total failure.

Big Rapids, July 25th, 1833.

The great storms of Saturday and
Sunday will make a radical change
in the crop report for Kent county.
It is estimated that 20 inches of witcr
has fallen in the last two months and
the torrents of the last few days seemed
to be A final blow to the crops. Wheat
is nearly all standing and over ripe.
In most fields the ground is too soft to
use the reaper and the first work must
bedon- with the old-fashioned cradle.
Much of the wheat about the city for
some distance is under water, in many
cases entirely out of sight. Throught
the county it is estimated from 50 to
75 per cent of an average crop.

Grand Rapids, July 2-5, 1873.

Crops in Livingston county have
been soaked and resoaked. Hey is
mostly cut 8 .d cured, or rather steam-
ed. I think it safe to say that two-
tsirds of the hay in this county has
been injured by rain. and if ever there
was a year when’ silos would have
come in play, this is the year. Corn
has finally pushed its way upward
through mud and water, and is grow-
ing finally, but is one month behind
time. Wheat is still standing, wait-
ing for the reaper, and the reaper is
standing in the yard waiting for the
sunshine. Cherries and peaches are
nowhere. Apples about ten per cent of
an average crop. _

If farmers want to realize a good
price and a ready value for the products
of their farms they must present in
market. a good article of grain, fruit,
vegetables or, whatever they have to
sell. Farmers who have the reputation
of bringing to market a good article
generally find quick sales and frequent-

lly higher prices than others wllo do
not take such pains. F.

Jeflbrsonville, lild., July 22.

l’i-ejlltlice prevents thousands of peo
pie from doing what their intelligence
tlllvl jlldgnlent causes them to acknowl-
edge to be for their best interests. A
fariiicl friend once said that through
hearty prejudice, he had voted and
worked to elect men to otlice who were
ill favor of principles contrary to his
best interests, but hereafter he should
‘support such candidates only as he be-
lieved would work for the best interests

It is unite the fashion to speak of
strikes of laborers as an evil to all con-
cerned in it. The newspapers lecture
the starving operators in the wisest
manner, but they seldom suggest any
other remedy. The employees are
counseled on all sides to accept any
wages that may be off‘-.ed and culti-
vate gratitude for am.-lil favors. Al-
though most strikes result dis-astrously
at th':» time, yet the general result has
been beneficial to the iilterests of the
lallorer. It is an attempt in a crude
way to estahli-.-uh a protective system
for the protection of labar. STRIKER

This locality has been blesred with
frequent rains since the 15th of May
retarding cultivation, but still crops
are fair. Wheat is not as good as we
could wish, bilt will have enough to
bread and to seed the ground for an-
other year and some to feed the law-
yers and courts. Corn is looking well
in fact this section is happy. The
Grange in this county is doing nicely.
I will try and send you jottings for

In your recent visit to Little Prairie
Rondo you found a neighborhood
where road fences were abandoned.
Every person recognizes the great ex-
pense of fences. In the neighborhood
of the agricultural college in several
pl£\C(:4, road fences next to wheat fields
aild vegetable gardens have been
abandoned, much to the satisfaction
of every body. Iowa is a good prairie
country, and now it abounds in good
pastures. In numerous places the
road fences have disappeared. Shall
we not hear from some of your readers
as to how they have brought this
about and how they like it?

Otsego Allegan Co: Prudent farmers
have secured their clover hay in good
condition. Indolent and heedless
farmers are cursing the weather and
bad luck. The former are I’. ofH., the
latter cannot see anything good in
our Order. Corn on heavy clay and
low ground is drowned out. Quite a
good many about here planted pota-
toes on marsh land and these fix-ids
are drowned out, M..st fields oftiino-
thy hay are standing and will not be
out till after wheat harvest. The rain,
“the beautiful rain,” if a blessing in
disguise,will fill us to overflowing with
gladness. The real christian is cheer-
full in all this continued storm for he
believes God dotlgaill things well, but
the church hyporcrites are long-
faced. . M.

Wheat nearly all cut, and has been
put in stuck or burn. It has passed
through at severe ordeal. First,it was
badly injured during winter and
spring. Second, the heavy rains of
June blighted a portion of it. Third,
the rust ‘ truck” it. Fourth, the
wind and rain best it down badly.
Fifth, torrents of rain deluged
and soaked it after a part of it was in
the shock. The result is, it has come
out second best. The “flood gates”
were shut down on the 24th, in the
forenoon, and we hope they will at .y
shut for the present. One more rainy
day would have spoiled the wheat.
Attila best it is damaged badly. Oats
allnosl; ripe, and are good. Beans and
weeds are each contending for the
field. Cabbage worms are on hand, or
rather on the cabbages. What will de-
stroy the pest? D. W.

Paw Paw, July 26, 1883.

Generally speaking, wheat is an av-
erage crop in Wsshtenaw county, but
rain, rain, rain is going to spoil it, ifit
does not hold up soon. At time of
writing, the ground is so soft it is im-
possible to run our reapers and bind-
ers, and the grain is not more than
half out, but we hope for the best.
Corn is in all stages as to growth,
from one foot high to good growth.
The same as to cultivation, irom no
cultivation at all, to fair and good, de-
pending on kind of soil and surface of
land, water etc. Potato prospect good.
Fruit. has gone up. Hay would have
been a good crop if the farmers could
have had weather to secure it, but as it
is, the rule will be poor bay for next
winter’s feeding. Oats,a heavy growth
of straw, what the berry will be is
hard to tell. ' H. D. 1-.

occur to my mind. I venture to assert !
that the heaviest hay crop ever raised
in this vicinity has been secured most-
ly in good order. The wheat is rather
mixed in quality with :1 fair amount of
straw. Of the different varieties, the
Lancaster is probably the best. and the
Fultz the worst. The yield will be ,

Mr. Bishop’s feeble attempt to coil-
trovert D. \Voodman’s uilailswerable
argument in favor of prohibition is
simply a bundle of errors and misrep-
resentation of facts. No one would
manufacture liquor if they could not
sell it, and there would be iiolle to tax’.
The 30 liquor sellers of Kalamazoo who
pay the tax constantly violate the law,
and dare not complain of those who
sell and pay no tax, as was fully dem-
onstrated at the races, where barrels of
liquor was sold from under the grand
stand. and the grounds were crowded
with drunken rowdy gamblers and
blear-eyed drunken prostitutes, to the
utter disgrace of the city, and the aspir-
ingpolitician who coiitrolsthadriving

ple will countenance and patronize such
demoralizing resorts. There iswithout
doubt more liquor sold in violation of
the law and more drunkeness at the
present time than at any former period
in the history of the State.

Protection of Innocent Purchasers of
Trees and Plants.

[Read before Michigan Horticultural society
by Prof. James Satterlee of the Agiicutural
College.]

I suppose the author of this topic
would notimply that any purchaser
of trees and plants i- guilty of a mis-
demeanor and for that reason need-
protection. I suppose that every such
person zs innocent of any.wrong in-
tention. He wants the plants and
one of the usual methods is to allow
some tree agent to make the selection
of varieties and quality. take his word
that everything is all right, pay his
price and take the things brought,
dead or alive. Now why does he need
protection‘? He has harmed no one.
No one ha any ill will toward him.

-The agent is sat-isfi d. If he hasn’t

sold any tree roses or dead evergreens
he comes around in a friendly way a
second time or perhaps a third time.
Hebears him no ill will. Why should
he‘? He has his money: that is all he
was after. The purchaser’s neighbors
do not care for the things he has
bought. They dont envy him. So
you see he ‘oesn-‘t need any protection.
Then why discuss the question at all.
There is another sense however in
which We may look at the subject, and
by substituting the other meaning of
the word innocent we may occupy a
little time profitably, perhaps, in dis-
cussing how ignorant purchasers of
trees a-id plants may be pi‘(.t cte.‘-. I
do not wish to use the word in any
derogatory sense as implying any un-
justifiable lack of knowledge. But it
is a fact that I think will be readily
conceded that thousands of purchasers
are ignorant of their real needs. The
value of the products of the orchards
and gardens of Michigan would be
doubled had the proprietors known
just what was the best to set therein
and how to care for the same. Neith

er has the time yet come when every
purchaser of plants knows just what
is best. How shall he be protected
fro ‘vs the results of his ignorance and
from those who seek to take advantage
of it, and why should he. A worthless
plant takesjust as long to set, takes
upjust as much room, and takes as
much time to care for as the most
valuable. For these reasons if for no
other a man should endeavor to know
what is best to plant and how to care
or it. VVs see men of good judgment

in the ordinary afiairs of life, shrewd
in the management of their farms,
and careful of their finances, men
who would not trust a stranger to se-
lect a sheep or a pig for them, put the
selection of a list of trees for an orchard
or foragarden into the hands of an
entire stranger and accept what he
brings asall right and just what they
want. It is years before the buyer
knows for certain what he has and
whether satisfactory or not, the work
is done and will remain. He may
have piid two prices for all he has
bought. It has been a fair bargain,
however, and he has to accept the re-
sult. He may have a single variety of
grapes in place of the dozen choice

He may have

only the most inferior varieties of
apples, peaches, pears and plums.
There is one thing, however, in the
fact that some of the most common
things he would be likely to get are
among the best known and the very
best _we have. This is especial.y true
in ornamental plants—the syringa
persica, the ampelopsis qunquefolia,
the spira triioba, the philadelphus and
others.

Thousands of dollars are paid annu-
ally by people for plants that, when
they come to maturity, are grudged
the space they occupy. They deplore
their ignorance and wish they had
known what they wanted when they
purchased. Or they curse the agent
whom they think has misrepresented
the thing sold to them. or who has
actually swindled them.

These purchasers may be protected,
first by educating them as to what is
best, and how to choose for them-
‘selves, and where to get the things
they want. Then in purchasing they
will not fill an order with material
that they will know in time to be
nearly useiess. Our state horticul-
tural society is doing a work, and has
been for the last twelve years, that is
helping to put men on the right
track in this matter. The local socie-
ties are doing the same kind of work.
You will find that any person who
has been a regular attendant upon the
meetings of these societies, listened to
the discussions and taken part in
them, and read the reports will not
be likely to give an order for trees and
plants that he will be sorry for. A 10-
cal farmers’ organization, a club or a
Grange well conducted, is a great
benefit in giving information of this
kind. Another means of obtaining
good information is through the ably
edited horticultural and agricultural
papers. Sometimes the editors are
blameworthy for allowing recom-
;mendations to go into their papers

‘that they know, or should know, will

lead to false conclusions and to dis-
appointments. Such things should
be careful] weeded out. It is better
to state t a truth until threadbare

'ih:1u to ad mit any_ error for the sake

-of I_l0Ve.ty or variety. _

A second way of protecting purchas
‘ore is by showing them where to ob-
taln their trees and plants. If you
can afford the time to wait. agood
way isto raise your own. It is not
so much trouble as some might think.
The grafting of apples and pears is 2.
perfectly simple and certain process,
and if the scions are procured from
healthy trees of well-known ‘varieties
you are sure you have the kinds you
want, and no mistake about it._ Many
of the disappointments in setting nu_r-
sery grown trees come from mis-
takes made in the nursery rows, and
these mistakes are perpetuated year

after year. It may be that_the lack

of hardiness of some varieties comes
from the succulent condition of the
ecions used fr0m Y9‘1I1g t_l'8eS- The

tend a few meetings of your society,

tiful homes, talk with the proprietors

know where they may be obtained.

But with most of us the time comes 3,
when we desire to plant our orchards

and gardens and home grounds, with
but little preparation on our part and
we are in a hurry. We cannot wait to
read .he horticultural reports or pa-
pers or attend the meetings and talk
with men of experience‘ in fruit grow-
ing and home building. There may
be a little suspicion of laziness in our
make up, and that is as likely to be

How I Grow Grapes. 1
Ed. Farmers‘ Review.-—Away baokl.
in the past, when the world knew lessl
than it does now, some fellow had a!
grapevine, and having little to do he:
used it as a resourse to kill time,l
watching and rubbing ofi‘ every bud;
regarded as superfluous, as it appeared, 1
and pi"ching off every shoot when he}
thought it had grown ling enough,
and was thus enabled to fill up two or
three months’ time which. without
this diversion, would have hung
‘ heavily on his hands. Tha' year his

in which he proclaimed that in order
to grow grapes every fellow should do
just as he did——watch and rub off the
superfluous buds, and pinch back
with the thumb and forefinger eacr
shoot at the third leaf from the last

the root of all evil as anything else.
We have no time to wait to grow oirr
own plants and we can in many cases,
and perhaps in all buy better plants
of professional growers in our own
neighborhood. Nearly every city of
this size has a nursery from which
you can procure such things as ex-
perience has taught can be success-
fully rown. Patronize such a man
if you now he is honest and reliable.
In case you have no such nursery or
nurseryman make out your list and

submit it to someone in whosejudg-i from which they dispense their stores -. gives to this country

whom you have confidence, with in-jhow and when to do it. are as dis 2

struction to send the things he has
that you desire and nothing else. If
you desire to obtain the best rates sub-
mit your list to two or three nursery-
man aud give the order to the one
that offers the best terms.
ly we are not obliged to go out of our
own State to vet the quality and the
variety,we want nor to find the nur-
serymen whom we can trust. If the
nursery to which you send your order
has a regular authorized agent in your
place the bill may be sent to be deliv-
ered by him. Now in regard to fruit
tree agents. I have but little sympa-
thy with the usual outcry against
them. It is true that many have done
exceedingly mean things. But the
business ofsellihg trees is just as hon-
oral-le as any other good straight-
forward honesty is, just as commend-

esty isjust as mean.

There is not the tithe of the chance
for dishonest agents to swindle pur-
chasers now that existed before the
organization of me State lzlorticultural

Society and its branches. General in- ,

telligence ofthe wants of the commu-
nity have lessened the need of protec
tion and it seems to me that ifa man
is swindled now by a fruit tree agent
in the older portions of the state he is
a good deal to blame himself. The
same influence that has made the
people more intelligent has made the
nurserymen more particular about
the handling of their stock as intelli-
gencesincreases in this direction on
one sideit must keep pace upon the
other. But with the best knowledge
that can be obtained by the purchaser
and the most careful management by
the nurserymen mistakes will some-
times occur. We can never expect to
prevent them entirely.

It will be well for purchasers, I
think, to patronize only those nurs-
erymen who do a straight business
with and through authorized agents,
and by direct sale to customers.

I would not recommend the pur-

who buys where he can buy the
cheapest. Never buy of a stranger
under any circumstances, unless he is
willing the allow you to send your
order to the nursery he claims to rep-
resent, and then not unless it is the
nursery you wish to patronize. I do
not wish to be understood that all the
tree dealers are unreliable men, for it
is not so. But 1 would not recom-
mend the purchasing from them as
the safest aid best plan to pursue.

Never invest largely in high priced
specialities. Some of them may be
valuable, but let men that are abund-
antly able test them until they are
thoroughly proved.

The protection of purchasers may
be still farther brought about by the
organization in every county at least
of a local Horticultural Society, and
by the members of such society using
every effort to starve out every dealer
and agent who is ;believed to be dis-
honest. This will have as much to do
with the protection of the foreigners
who are setling up the new counties
and are necessarily ignorant of their
real needs, and it should be the duty
of every society to prosecute to the
lull extent of the law every case of
swindling brought to light. _

Nurserymen can aid in protecting
purchasers of trees and plants by
never allowing a package to go away
from their uurser without beu_ig
properly packed. hey can also assist
in the good work by not selling their
culls and injured stock to dealers, but
by burning it up at once. _

Agents can assist by never allowing
a purchaser to take his trees away,
exposed in wagons to sun and W1n'|.
It will pay them well to keep a_ sup-
ply of straw at the place of delivery
and have it soaked with water for the
purpose of covering the roots. j

Purchasers may be farther protected
by knowing how to set their treee and
plants. Let every one understand
that such things need as much care
and as careful culture as a hill of corn
to get the best results. Let every one.
use as much care and thought as pos
si ble in purchasing, but remember
that it is the after core and after
thought fhat will decide whether your
purchases were wisely made, or wheth-
er you were wise in purchasing at all.

fStern’s sermon was to Sam Lawson,
ias related in Mrs Stowe’s “Oldtown

Folks.” Saln’s report of the sermon
was as follows: “He said that by na-
5 ture our condition was the same as if
- we were at the bottom of a well fi 'ty
5 foot deep, with the sides covered with
,‘sriiootll ice. That it was our duty to
,1 get out at once, but that nobody ev.—r
1 had got out, or ever would, except as
 God in the exercise of his sovereignty
,'let down a rope to him, which was
5 not done oftener than to one in a mil-
; lion. Lordy massy, says I to myself,
3 if that’s so anybody is welcome to my
‘ chance, and so I got up and come
away." The farmer, when told of all
5 the things he must do to grow grapes,
2 and atjust the time of the year when
the weeds in the cornfield are grow-
ing at the rate of forty miles an hour,
haying coming on and harvest but
just behind, very naturally says,
Anybody is welcome to my chance.”

The way I grow grapes is this: I
have 200 Concord vines set eight feet
apart each way, with a strong stake by
each. They have been in bearing
seven or eight years and have never
failed to grow a good crop. I keep the
ground stirred with a cultivator, go-
iug through three or four times in a
season, requiring just as much work
and no more than if in corn. In the
fall after the foliage has fallen, I untie
from the stakes and trim. If I find
new strong canes from the l'00l, I save
them for next year’s bearing, and cut
out the old. If not, I cut back to two
buds all the previous se2son’s growth
on the old vine and save that for bear-
ing. I never lay down and cover in
the winter-, and wouldn” have a kind
that has to be nursed and mollicoddled
to keep it alive. In the spring I tie
to the stakes, giving them a twist
around it, and tying at the top and in
the middle. I didn’t' used to summer-
-prune any, having an idea that nature
could be trusted to some extent. and
that the severe interference with her
methods in the fall pruning was about
as much as she would stand. But I
got such a rampant growth of vines,
making it so diflicult to get through
with the horse and cultivator that I
took to shortening in. By the thumb
and finger process? Oh, no! Life is
too sh )l‘t and there are to many things
waiting to be done to fool away time
in that manner. When the clust-
ers have set and the vines have
made a growth ofa foot or two beyond.
I take a grass sickle or hook, made
sharp, and clip the ends. Last eve»
ning I went over 150 vines in an
hour’s time. If I find too many shoot-
started from the root I pull them off,
and repeat the operation 0 clipping as
often as needed during the season.
Some horticultural dude will exclaim,
“(yvpac a shockingly unscientific math
0 I ’

Well, so it is. But the pr: of of the
pudding, you know, is in the eating,
and I get good crops of splendid grapes
and have time to keep the corn-field
clean and do everyting else that need-
tobe done, incl iding the reading of
the : armors’ Review as it comes regu~
larly to hand. Last year I had the
finest Concord grapes I ever saw, the
largest, firmest; clusters, and largest
berries. Many of tl'8 clusters were as
firm and solid as those of the little
Delaware, which is uncommon in the
Concord, whose bunches are usually
loose. Now, Mr. Editor, every farmer
can grow Concord grapes with as little
expenditure of time and labor a- I cl .
if he will discard the tool (1 rections
given by most professional horticul
tural writers and use common sense
methods. The scientific plan is all
right for professionals and amateurs,
who have few vines a:.d plenty of
time, but they are “too too utter” for
the busy farmer like me

A DUPAGI-.‘ COUNTY FARMEIL.

P. S —-One of these city horticultur
ists was out to my place last summer,
and my daughter showed him round
it. Coming to the vineyard he saw

Fences.

Several counties in Georgia have, by
vote, abandoned the old plan of fencing
the farms, and will hereafter fence
their stock instead, as already practiced
in the Northern States. As it is 3. new
thing with the Georgians, it will p"ob-
ably take some time to adjust matters
to the new order, but in the older por-
tion of the State, where wild lands are
scarce and timber exhausted, it will
prove a great advantage. Some difficul-
may grow out of trespass of animals
along the lines of counties that have
not adopted the “no fence” system, but
this should not discourage those who
have. Time and patients will cure the
evils attending a very good measure.--

viser- of the government.

The navy, the finance, the interior
and other departments of the govern-
ment, are under the control of a sec-
retary whose voice is potential in de-
ciding the policy of the government,
both internal and foreign. Why this
distinction‘? is the navy of more im-
portance to the growth and prosperity
of the nation -nan its agricultural de-
velopment and protection? Is the in-
terior of greater importance than the
development of our soil resources, vr
is the secretary of finance of more
vital interest than the source from
whence it derives its power‘? The
money of the country is the creation
ofthe government, dependent upon
the recognition of the flag, and the se-
curity of the money is the broad acres
within the domain, over which the
fialz floats and gives protection.

We trust this question will engage
the attention of the future sta esman,
and that its agitation will not close
until the Commissioner of Agricul-
ture is clothed with greater power,
and he is elevated to a seat and a
voice in the Cabinet of the President.
The importance of the vast interests
placed in his hands demand this re-

The Pioneer Silo.

Mr. Joiilitinin Herriain, the well

claims and we think justly, to have
made the first silo ever constructed in
the United States. He tells the history
of it in the following letter:

Chicago, July 2, 1ss::.

Ed. 1<‘arme1's' Rel"iew.—-In 180:),

tops. which were cut oil‘ with the
crowns of the beets attached. These
were thrown in, trampled thoroughly,
until the whole was filled. A covering
of earth two feet thick was placed over
all, and as it settled more was added.

six inches of the sides were blackened,

of the prof-ssors ofAgriculture held at
the Ohio State University in Colum-
bus, last week. D9i9K2i[‘S were pres-
ant from Wisconsin illnois, Indiana,
New York. Ohio and Michigan. Dr.
E L .-lturtevant, director of the New
York experimental station and secre-
tary Chamberlain of ihe Ohio S ate
B )tll'd of Agriculture were present and
took part in me discussions. Prof.
Roberts. who occupies the chair of
practical -agriculture at Cornell Uni-
versity, Utica, N. Y., was elected
president lor the ensuing year, and
Prof Lazenby of Ohio S are Uuiver
sity secretary. It was decided to hold
the next meeting at Cornell Uuiversi
ty and an invitation to visit the State
experimental sarion at Geneva arthe
time of the next meeting was excepted.

SOME people are easily alarmed. A
few of the students of the Massachu-
setts Agricultural College, located at
Amherst, have rented an acre of the
land which constitutes the experiment-
al farm, and planted it to various crops
which they design to sell. The farm-
ers iii the vicinity of the College pro-
test against this proceeding._ They
express a fear that the boys will over-
stock the market and bring down
prices. They think they have advan-
tages that farmers do not possess,_as
they obtain the use of the land. which
was bought by the State, at a nominal
rental.

Taking the Consequences.

In all the annals of VViscasaet Acade-
my there was never known such a
timeas was experienced during the
fall term of the year 1880. Insubor-
dination pervaded every class. Mis-
chief ran riot. and the moral and
intellectual tone of the whole school
was lowered; worst of all the main-
spring and originator of the trouble
could not be discovered. The annoy-
ance extended even to the town, and
the amazed inhabitants had so many
pranks played upon them they began
to feel that the Academy, which had
been their chiefpride, bade fair to be
their greatest disgrace.

All the ancient tricks which strike
a boy as being so inexpressible funny
were plaved, and many a new one
beside. Of course the Academy bell
was mufiled, in fact, as one boy ob-
served, they kept it muflled, as its
tone was not sufficiently musical to
please their sensative ears. It was
such fun to see old Cox, the janitor,
climb grumbling up the belfry stairs,
lugging his step-ladder after him, to
release the clapper from its wrappings;
and when Cox guarded the belfry all
night, and set traps to catch the boys,
they testified their contempt of his
efforts by taking away the clapper
altogether. While, as for the town,
no tradesman went to bed at night
with any reasonable certainty that
his sign would be found in its proper
place in the morning. At the Acade-
my, matters were carried so far that
at last tlce priiicipal. Dr All-xandl-r,
announced that Lue peI‘pr_*l.l'.Ll0l's or the
uextjoke would if «ii-covered, be ex
pelted from the .-.Cllt)0l. The following
morning when the boys filed in -'lli\p
let for prayers, “Brother Bones," tn-
Ancallemy skeleton, was discovered
festivs-iy swiugzii g from the center of
thedome, array-d Ill Dr. Alexann.er’s
skull» ap and an old brown jacket
Pl-ores-or Carter was in the habit 0|
wearing in class, and tied in his bony
flutters was the in seeing bell clapper. '

Now the originator of all this non-
sense. and the leader in every scrai-e,
was Don Malcom, the last buy in ihe
world any one would hive suspected
of any such duplicity it certainly was.
Dr. Alexander loved a d tru-ted him
like his own son. He led the senior
class, he was a member of the base
ball nin -, and he was by far the most
popular fellow in school. He was the
boy of all others who should have
kept himselfstraight and set a good
example to his mates. But, as him-
self afterward explained, he got a
going a .d he couldn't stop.”_ He lost
sigutofthe moral questions involve ;
he was intoxicated by the dash and
daring of the rbing; the fact of his
outwitting the Dal‘-€01‘. seemed irresis
tible funny, and the knowledge that
he had nearly every boy in the school
under his control, was not without
its charm.

There was one. however, who re-
fused, from the first, to have any shale
in Don’s doings; this was Harry Dore-
mus. Harry and Don had been chums
for years they stood side by side in
their classes, and they were to enter
Yale together in another year; but
since Don had been going wrong they
had become very much separated,
and lately they did not -peak to each
other. There was another boy, Tom
Morton, by name, who much to his
schoolmates’ surprise, did not ioin in
the fun. Time was when Tom had
been the scapegrace of the‘ whole
school, but he had recently turned
over anew leaf, and was now fighting
valiantly against his besetting sins.

AUGUST 1. 1583.

But the old proverb of “Give a dog a
bad name and it will stick to him.”
is a true one, and Tom was sus ected
by his teachers of being the ant or of
all the trouble. ‘

“I think it isa shame the way those
academy boys are acting,” said Dell
Malcom to her brother. “I was down
to Lou Carter’s to-day and she says
they are almost sure it was Tom
Morton who hung Brother Bones in
the chapel last Thursday, for he was
seen coming out of the academy just
after dark VVedne:-day evening. and
Lou says Dr. Alexander is going to
make an example of him just as soon
as he can get positive proof. Poor Dr.
Alexander" she went on “some peo-
ple say that he ought to resign if he
ca~'t govern the school better. He
feels dreadfully; he has 105: ten
pounds this last month. I’m so glad
you are not in this fuss. Don.”

“W at would you do if I was?" he
asked, curiously.

“VVh_v, I don't know, I coiildift
imagine such a thing," she answered.

“VVell." heobserved, rising. “Toni
Mortorfs all right. You iiee;in‘t
abuse him any more."

“Don, do you know who did it?"
she asked.

"Yes"-' said he goingout of the room.

Dell's chance words brought her
brother to a sense of his position, and
that night for the first time in his life.
be seriously thought himself over.
Conscience awoke and by her light
he traced her actions to their inward
springs; he saw hiiiiselfas he was, a
fraud, a living lie. Father, mother.
sister. teachers, were all reposiug the
fondesl confidence in him, and he was
deliberately deceiving them. "There
is only one thing I can do." he said
to himself. “I can own up, and take
the consequences: I can't let
T vm Morton's reputation suffer
for mine." But when he thought
what those consequences would
be——bis father’s anger, his moth-
er’s sorrow, his sister's grief, the open
shame and disgrace of expulsion. the
givinl: up of his college course— for
he felt sure that his father would be
too angry to give hiiu another clian-3e,
they seemed more than he could bear.
Sick at heart he could only groan and
say to himself: “W'liat a fool I have
been." How he lived till he got into
the chapel next morning he scarcely
knew; he seemed to be wrapped in a
miserable dream. After prayers he
rose in his place and said :-

“Dr. Alexander."

“Well. Malcom,“ said the Doctor,
kindly, “Did you wish to?"

“Yes, sir," answered Don, speaking
very clearly. “I wish to say that I
am responsible for every bit of trouble
that has happened in this school this
term, I have been the ring-leader: I
have planned everything, and every
boy in the room knows it; I hung
Brother Bones from the dome myself,
and I am willing to take the conse-
vuences.”

Dr. Alexander seemed fairly stag-
gered. “I need not say," said he,
“that 1 am greatly surprised and
pained at this revelation. I will con-
sider your case, Malcom, and until I
arrive at a decision you will retain
your place in your class. Young gen-
tlemen,” he added,“ on are dismissed
to your class-rooms.”

In the hall outside the chapel door,
Don felt some one touch his shoulder.
It was Harry Doremus. “Don," said
he, “you've done the square thing
now, old boy.” He held out his hand
and Don clasped it,and without anoth-
er word, they were friends again. The
next morning Don Malcoin was pub-
licly expelled from W;scasset Acade-
my. Dr. Alexander’s voice faltered
more than once as he spoke the fatal
words; but he felt that justice must be
vindicated, and that a course of such
open disobedience must be punished
as it deserved.

I will pass over the ainful scene at
the Malcolm home w en Don made
his confession there; his father’s an-
ger and his mother’s sorrow. Only his
sister stood by him at the time, aston-
ished and grieved though she was,and
appreciated the effort by which. at the
last moment. he had retrieved his own
honor.

Harry Doremus coming in during
the afternoon helped to cheer D )D up
somewhat.

“Brace up, old fellow,” said he.
“You’re on the right track now. Keep
up your lessons with me. I’ll tell
you where they are and help you all
I can. Perhaps by and by your fath-
er will give you a tutor and wé’ll go to
Yale together, yet.”

Don took Harry’s advice, and tried
to kel.-pup with his classes, though
without much hope of attaining to
college. A week passed by; ‘t was the
longest one of his life. He felt
ashamed to be seen on the street. He
fancied that old friends looked as-
liam-e at ulm as they passed by. How
fiat and scale his j)k€S appeared to
him now; he wond.-red that he ever
saw any fun in them. Three days
more passed; he felt that if life was
to go on like this he could not bear it.
If it had not been for the cowardice
of the thing he would have asked his
father In Set him leave town. On the
tenth dayaft-r his - xpuleiou, toward
-vening, he went to the poet-oflice.
He found in the box a letter. The
Academy stamp was in the corner.
It was addressed in Dr. Alexander’-i
own hand. W-iii shaking fingers he
opened it; it ran ihu=:—

Wiscasset, Nov. 16, 1880.

“MR. DONALD MALcoi.M—Dear
»S1Ir.-———In view of the frank and manly
confession which was made by you
before the whole school on the 6th
inst., and the willingness which you
then expressed to bear whatever pen-
alty sho ld belnflicted for your mis-
conduct, I hereby withdraw the sen-
tence of expulsion which you are un-
der, and give you permission to return
to your studies, depriving you, how-
ever, of your rank in your class, and
relegatihg you to its foot.

Yours sincerely,
“JAMES ALEXANDER.

P. S.-—Personally I shall be very
happy to see you back.”

Don could have shouted for joy. He
rushed home and showed the letter to
his mother and sister, and next morn-
ing he was back in the dear old acade-
my. He had learned a valuable les-
son during that ten days’ absence
from school; it was that while there is
plenty of hearty fun in this world,
which it does a boy good to enjoy, he
who chooses instead, the pleasures of
sin, will find himself in the end cov-
ered with shame and dishonor.—El-
career A. Hunter, in Sign: of the
limes.

WOMAN’S WORK.

BY MES. B. K. STANTON.

You risk a man, “What’s Woman's W'ork?”
He gives his lordly head a jerk,

Up goes his nose, it is I ween

The simplest thing that o'er was done.

A man could do it any day,

And still have lots of time for play.

But wait a moment, and we will see
It the worthy judges don"t, agree
That vvoziiaifls work is I01‘ from play;
And when done over every day
More tiresome is, and lcdlolls too,
Than auytliing man has to do

‘Ti-; cook, wash, bake and brew,

From Monday morn the wliolc week thro',
Assumd that when the week is done

The ni-..ntli line only just begun.

And thus it isf I).'iy:e, inontns and years,
A lifeziine full of petty r.-ares.

Thsre’s milk to strain, an i milk to skim,
The churning, too, it unis‘. be done,

Nor can we wait until we feel

'.l.‘hat churning would a. pleasure be;

It must be done just now you see,

For to have the butter ::'.- eet and good,
It must be churned just when it should.
And then the sweeping! Oh, dear me!
‘~"£‘is not hard work,” I llc-.i.r you say;
Not very hard, but then, my dear,

We sweep so many times a year.

And when the rainy seasons come,

And our lords and inasicrs stay at home
And Whittle, to pass away the time.

You must admit, I am sure you must,
It might grow a little monotonous.

To get a uleal, I hear men say,

I can do that myself any day;

Boil the potatoes, fry the meat,

And then the thing is quite complete,
Complete for once, but then you know,
We women do not reckon so.

Three meals we get, and then, of course,
If some come late, we go the fourth.

In harvest time, when men do sweat,
Tl‘€Il we 1-. lunch for them must get.
But call it three, the average number

Oi meals )1 day, the whole world over,
Then multiply it by the year;

You will be astonished, as I‘m alive,

It makes ten hundred and ninety-five.

Ten hundred and ninety-five meals a. year,
’Tis quite appalling, I declare.

And then the dishes we have to wash,
Would reach up to Mt. Pisgah’s top.

The mopping, too, that must be done,
Believe me, it isn't any fun,

Although the men, sarcastic, say,

It must he, or you wouldn,t mop every day.

They don't like the mop—it’s suggestive to
them

Of filthy habits, these saintly men.

The hardest work is yet to come,

The weekly washing must be done.

And done with the assurance drear,

’Twill be repeated iiity-two times a year.

0, who would not be a woman then?

Their work is only puttering.

The clothes must be ironed and folded away,

Which takes the neat house-wife a. good half
day.

Then to vary the work, and it’s all got to be
done,

She will clean that abominable, nasty spit-
toon.

As constant dropping weather stone,

Howe‘re minute the drops may be,

So constant cares and petty ills,

Will wear the housewitds life away.

The patching comes in for a share
Of patient woman’s toil and care;
It would never do to let it go
Until a shirt was wanted, no,

For how a man will foam and flirt
If he finds a button oil’ his shirt.

'.l.‘here’s little brooches to be patched,
Holes to be darned in little socks,
And then the chickens must be fed,
The children spanked and put to bed.
Do you wonder that a woman's cares
Upon her strength and spirit wears?

Worthy judges. have we proved to you
The words of the old adage true,

That a man’s work is from sun to sun,
But a woman's work is never done?

 

Mrs. Jones’ New Carpet.

For the Visiroa.

The J o uesels were a very industrious,
hard working family, both on the
farm and in the house, but hard work
did notdeprive them of enjoying each
and every gift sweet. nature bestowed
on them. Father, mother, 'son_s'and
daughters all noted the songs of the
birds, tho beauty of the flowers, the
hum of the bees, even noted: the bean-
ty in rough stones, that lay scattered
over the fields. Each without know-
ing, seemed to vie with the other, in
viving -their friends pleasure, except
theoldest son Dick, who though not
had, was of rather a selfish disposi-
.tion.

But on this particular morning
when our story commences, Mr. Jones
-and his three sons had gone to a dis-
tant town on business, which would
detain them until evening. _Mro Jones
and her daughter Ella, a young lady
of eighteen, were at home alone.
Ella was 8. sliarer in all her mother's
cares; was ever rea ‘y to do the ' ard-
est wash in the kitchen, that mother
might rest; and tried to relieve‘ her
from the many anxious cares that
g.s=.;erally fall to a mother’s lot. They
finished the morning’s work and
brought from the close: a huge basket
filled with -ewing, mostly in»-riding,
and also a. book, they were much in-
terested iu reading. Though there
was but little ‘time to spare, they made
it a rule to take turns in reading aloud
one hour each morning, they c-;.~uld
work better if thzy had something to
think an-.1 talk about, on: ibis morn-
ing their minds were not aztogetlier
on their reading. Ella exclaimed 2ll~
mo” 35 wean as her mother closed the
book “I do think our sitting-room car-
pet looks dreadfully, I cannot. make
the rage hide the bad places any
longer. especially where the boys sit
to read 9.-venin;.§s.”

“Yes dear,” replir-d her mother,
"Lllal. was in my mind, and I do
not know how we can get 3. u-_-\-r
one, If ill‘? boys had not been. cars-ml
to put. their slipper-: on before c:.~uiiug
in, it would have been gone long ago.
Father said ycsterda y weought to have
a new one, and several other articles
in the house for our comfort. but he
did not. know how to get them.
Wheatis so low in the market, and

the large doctor’s bill to pay for
grandma's last sickness, there will be
nothing left when other wants are
met.” And thoughtfully turning over
the sewing, looking at garments nearly
past mending, she added, “You see.the
boys must. have nearly all new clothes
for winter, Father and Dick new
overcoats, yourself a new cloak and
new wraps for Lulu.”

Ella was silent a. few inoinents, then
said. "I):-ar n.-otlier, you mt-nz; ~.:-. each
one except yourself, the most do-s-erv».
l'.l_£Z of us all.” Silently she 1-lie-iher

then more clieerfully said.“If W couul

“But Ell:i,the warp would be to buy,
tlieweaving to pay foi, and ‘w would
cost 9. great deal.”

“But, mother, my cloak w Hld cost
twelve or fourteen dollars, at least.
I think I could get new buttn"‘«, vel-
vet for collars and cuffs, firing:-~ for the
pockets. all which would not me: over
three dollars, and ten dollar:- would
nearly pay for the rag carpe-, I am
quite sure my old cloak, wr-nld look
nearly as nice as new. Mother I wish
you would call on Mrs. London this
afternoon, see her carpet, and if we
could get one, it would surprise Fa-
ther and Dick; so much-it is a real
pleasure to see them surprised. I’ll
get an early dinner It is pleasant to
walk across the meadows there are so
many flowers down b_v the brook, to
see them, and hear the birds singing.
Pmsurc it will lest you,” said Ella,
coaxingly.

Her motherlooked thoughtful, but
seeing her daughter’s disappointed
look, replied, “Just as you please, my
child, but your cousin Julia will have
a new cloak, has already had two,
since you had a new one; she will
look at you so, and call you a ninny.”

“Oh! mother, I hope I do not care for
Julia’s sneers, when I know I am do-
ing iight. I know I shall be happier
for having something we can all en-
joy, than the mere pleasure of occa-
sionally wearing a new cloak. Julia is
so selfish, her mother has not had one
in five years.”

Just then there was a rap on the
open door, a gentleman asked for a
drink of water, also to be directed to
J ulia’s father's. ,

As§Mrs. Jones answered him, Ella’s
face crimsoned, she feared he heard
her call her cousin selfish. She be-
lieved him to be the gentleman,
Julia had told her would spend’ a
few days ';with her father, and was
makingjfgreat preparations for his
coming—new dresses, hats, feathers,
and ribbons. Julia said he was rich
and she meant to capture him. Ella
could not help fearing, but hoped he
had not lieardfher unkln-i remark as
to her cousins’s selfishne;-.vs;sh«.t thought
him 3 very sensible looking man, but
not once did she entertain the thought
he was l.\and.s0me,for she was not a nov-
el reading younglady.Though he heard
much of the conversation we will do
him justice, by saying it was unin-
tentional. It was ahot sultry morn-
ing, he had taken a long walk, when
entering the yard for directions he saw
no one, so throwing himself on 3 ins-
tic seat beneath a huge elm, to rest
a few moments before going to the
door, but almost immediately a lady
commenced rea iing._he would not iii-
terrupt her, would wait a few moments
being very tired he fell asleep and
woke just in time to hear the discussion
of carpet, and cloak,-did not go in im-
mediately, fearing they would think
he heard the conversation as the doors

and windows were open. and the walk
woundnearly around the sitting-room.
The moment Mrs. J ones hesitated
about going he thought it time to make
his call, and just in time to hear the
answer and Ella’s reply. While on his
way be mentally compared her to Miss
Julia, who he had met 8. few times at
a friend’s in the city. .

Night came at last, mother hurried
home to tell E’l.rl that M:-s.Loud_ou held

and twiszed it themselves, it would:
cost only one-third  much as if they’

twist the yarn. Grandma learned her
to twist: years ago.

A few weeks had passed away One
evening Dick came in from town, was
in fine spirits, he had seen Professor
Winters, one of his teachers at college
the last wmter,aud he had promised at
the end of another fortnight to come
and spend a few days with him. Now
they hurried more than r-.ve:', to yet
the new carpet down before D.ck’s
comp-.u_-: came. Mrs. L~:s.i«.!on was so
kind as to have it wove at her house
to save time. It was finally woven,
made, tacked down, and not one of the
family found it out except Bob zhe
second son, 3 good generous boy, the
one they all went to for help in tllne
of need, and the one to keep a secret.
He carried the material to the weaver,
helped to put the new carpet on the

floor, coaxed brother Frank to go fish-

ing when he hada holiday. that he
should not find it out.

When his
mother mid him that Ella went with-
out a new cloak to get’ the carpet, he
told her she deserved a gold closk,aud
was the best girl in the world. When
father and Dick saw the carpet I-Jllk
lug so nice, and pretty, wi‘h its red
green, and blue stipes, mixed in with
black, brown, and hit-or-miss, they
were surprised in good earnest. Fath-
er d'd not know how they paid for it.
Mother said her and Ella did. Bob
began to tell, liut:—:. lock at Ella showed
she had iatler not say anything l:-e—
fore Dick. Sue alv. ays zeznicd to stand
in aave of him. The subject was drop-
ped for the present,

Next day, Dick with the c;—.rria-go.-,
was off to the station, and soon ret.uri;-
ed with the professor. V‘/her? Ella re-
ceived an introduction, she immedi-
ately recognized the gentleman tha-'
called for a drink, on that unlucky
day, as she ierm-ed it, which caused
her checks to burn. What did he
think ofher, «ii-l hetliink her a spit: fsil,
lusteful thing, she would ask liars».-if it
dwzeu times a dwy. ’l‘hui:gh he was
v—=ry pleasant and agreeable, and walk-
ed in the garden two or three times
with her, to look at the beautiful
flow!-rs, comparing them to those he
had seen abroad, and speaking on
ditil.-r-~.nt subjects that she had been
interested in reading about, yet she
thought he did this only to make
her forge‘. that he had heard what she
saii of Julia, and almost, not quite,
wished he had not come, for she ad-'
mitted to herself that she liked him,
at least he was a. pleasant companion.

One day Dick came in. Ella was
alone, engaged in sewiii,-r, he asked if
the prrrfes-or was in his room, she
replied: she saw him in theineadow
only a few minutes agi. He eyed
her wezrk for 9. moment and ask what
she was sewing on, she replied.

“She was fixing over her cloak to
wear to Aunt Estr-.’s thanksgiving
party.”

“\Vhy, El, I thought you would
have a new one, father gave the money
tobuy oue.I know—h0arding it up
to give some old pauper woman I
suppose, to buy snufl“or”-—“O':i broth-
er, do not be angry, and I’ll tell you
what I did with it.”

She then told him all about the
carpet, and how she l.Wl3l€(l the warp,
and sue hoped IE9 would be so pleased.
But Dick insteati of being pleased
was angry, and said.

“Just like you, El, you are always
doing something no one else would
do, never caring for yourself. I wanted
you to look nice so the professor
would like you, now Jule will take
the prize, she is always fixed up, and
I know that Professor
never look at a dowdy.”

The tears came into Ella’s eyes; she
stammefed, "Brother Dick, I am
not a dowdy, and if Professor Winters
would only look at me because 1 had
anew cloak, I think he would cs.re
more for the cloak than he would for
me.”

But Dick deigned no reply and
walked out slamming the door after
him. Ella could not restrain her tears
for she did not like Dick to be angry
with her. She sat with her face
buried in her hands thinking he
Hear-
ing someone step softly beride her
what was her surprise on looking up
to see the _]’rofes.=or sranding there,
but ifshe had known he never would
speak to her again she could not have
stopped cryi‘-g, but he said, “Miss
Ell-4,Icould not help hea._ring what
you and Dick said.”

“Oh,” she replied between her sobs.
"1 did not know you were here.”

“I know you did not, for I came in
at the window, but I came to tell
you I want you for my wife.
Ihave loved you ever since I heard
you and your mother discussing the
rag carpet, which I could not help
hearing, any more than I could just
now. Yes, I loved you even before
I saw you. I know that 8 young lady
that can deny herself so much for the
sake of her friends, is worth more than
diamonds to the husband of her
clioice. Only say, Ella, that I am

Z-ferred him to her parents, and when

they sanctioned the engagement, they

knew they had given their daughter
to a worthy Ir-an. Ella exacted a
promise, that it should be kept from
Dick until after Thanksgiving.

One afternoon before the party, Ju-
lia came, arrayed in all her finery,
cloak, bonnet and dress of the latest
style, as who lol-l the Professor; to
spend the «lay with dear cousin Ella.
Poor Ella saw Dir-k’s lip our], as he
mentally compared his sister's dress
to that of Mias Julizus, who was very
patronizing to Ella. and used crery
winning art she ]‘,(if-’B‘SI-T(:(l lo r.=iit.ei-

was sure of his escort homes; but
what was her surprise as well as
Dick’s, when be excused hims-.lfafter

looked vexed as soon as he left the
room, and intimated that she must

go home immediately, and with o very

‘ful house‘ on a valuable farm,

bad grace she accepted Dick's offer to
accompany her.

Thanksgiving morning finally ap-
peared. At breakfast the Professor
again excul-Hi himself, as he must
write sl veral letters, but promised to
meet Dick at an early h’ ur at r is un-
cie’-'. Dick shirked the chores as usual
on his brothers, hurried away to the
little r‘h'.1i‘vli between home and hi-
unclels, that he might have a gty
tvmc with some of hi- friends, before
the services. When the congregation
was dismissed he was surpriscd that
none of the family were there. Not
thinking that there was so much to do
ti-eycould not get there in time, so
did not come at all, or if he had staid
at home and helped they miglit have
e-njnyed themselves all together. VVe
are sorry to confess he was a selfish
‘Fellow. He went his way to his un-
-.-lels, was soon flirting Willi Julii,
who did nothing but fix the bouquets
for the table fearing she would so=l
her dainty hands, or muss the rufiies
of ‘her dress She would now and
then give an ‘iirapaticnt look as some
one arrived. But with Dick she was
doomed to another surprise as the
Profcs—or’s carriage stopped at the
door and he hel_»ed Ella to alight, en-
veloped in the old cloak. To say Ju
lia was vexed, would but illy describe
her feelings. She tried many little
artifices to win his attention, but in
vain; and as she felt he was forever
lost to her, her disappointment was
more than she could bear with giod
grace

A short month later, she with the
rest of the family, were invited to
see Ella and the Professor married in
the little church, and bid them good-
bye, as they were to sail immediately
for Europe, to spend ayear. ’I‘o go
to 1- urcpe, had been one of Julia’s
fondest wishes; and now to think she
must stay at home, while Ella, 9. girl
of just no style at all, should take
the place she so much coveted, was
too much. She sent her regrets and
staid at home.

When Dick found that the man he
thought perfection,valued his kind-
hearted self-sacrificing sister more
than gold or diamonds he felt
ashamed of himself and begged her
pardon for his uukindness.

Ayear soon passed and on his re-
turn the Professor brought a. beautiful
Brussels carpet, a present to his
mother-in-law but begged the rag
rohé i‘n“exch"ange.' This was put in

that

of Ella’s dear old home, where she
could mingle in the society of those
she loved’ nest.

In after years among the l..'.1:.’.!ly
curio3iti"—s the Professor W.-is wont to
point out to his friends, was an old
but well-preserved cloak, and a bit of
rap: c-irpet. These he said founfi him
his wife.

A few words about the crops in this
part of Wcshtenaw County. The
wheat at this writing, July 21, is near-
ly all cut and some of it in barns. and
if we could have one more week of
dry weather it would put the W1l0lB
crop into the barn and stack. The
crop is avery good one, will yield on
an average, we think, in this town-
sliipiof Agusta about 25 bushels per
acre. Oats are looking well exempt-
ing on low wet land Where they have
been injured much by me continuous
rolns. yet the przispect is fair for a
good crop. The hay crop is large but
a great deal of it is yet to be cut.
Corn is very small for this date and
will need all of August and Sep‘.l;in-
her to mature. On rolfing smdy
land the corn is as high as the fences
and very even, while on low poorly
dreaned land it is almost a failure.

Among the Granges.

Editor Grange Visitor .-—I returned
a few days ago from a. trip among the
Granges of Manistee and \Vexford
counties, and then tho lght that I
would at once report to the VISITOR,
giving an account of my work there,
the condition of the Order and also dis-
cription of the country over which I
passed. But on my return I found
that haying had commencei, and that
has occupied so much of my time and
attention since, that I have been un-
able to do so until now.

On the morning of June 25th, I left
Lansing via. D. L. <5; N. R. R for
Manistee, and 3l'I'lV\':‘ll at Reed City at
1 1*. M , and remained there until
8:45 in the evening, All along the
line from L~insir=g, the effects of the
continual wet weather could be no-
ticed on the growing crops, more
especially on corn, which was very
small and bzckward, and unless nature
bestires herself now the yield will be
very light indeed. The chief business
of the inhabitants of Reed City seemed
to be pumping water from their cel-
lars, as the ground is rather low and
flat at this place.

At 8:45 we were on our way for
Manistee at which place we arrived at
11 o’clccl=: and were told by the land-
lord at the hotel where we stopped,
that the beds were all occupied, there
being a three day's ho'se race then in
progress at that place. But we did
not fail to notice that while we were
assigned a cot on the third floor, that
five commercial travelers who arrived
at the same time, ‘secured good com-
fortable beds. This we attributed to a
lack of check on our part; but. perse-
verance overcomes many obstacles,and
in time we hope to be able to hold
our own with the average drummer.

Early in the morning we were called
for by Bro.‘ Janies McDiarmid,
Worthy Master of the District Grange
of Manistee and Wexford counties,
who come to take us to our firs’ ap-
poin tment, about 30 miles distant, and
as we passed through some fine ecu"-
try on our way we came to the conclu-
sion, a great many others have;
that a very poor idea of a country may
be formed from 9. car window. Mauls-
tee county as a whole compares very
favorably with some of our older
counties, although a large portion of
it is rather broken and hilly, and con-
siderable of the soil is rather light, but
well adapted to raising root crops,
especially potatoes,’ -for which the
county is famous both for quantity
and quality.

The townships of Pleasanton, Ms-
rilla and Cleon, are perhaps the three
best townships in the county and have
a large number of fine farms. with as
gwrl soil 8:9 you will find anywhere for
g.-rmral arming, f uil. ofall kind-a,also
does well. The farmers were just plant-
ing Lheir potatoes; 0 course they plant
some early in the season, but their
main crop is planted about the first of
July, as they think they do better
plui.\l..-:rl then than earlier in the sea-
sou. _

We arrived at the home of Bro.
Mt-D ilk,-OUC 10 o’clock and were a.
little surprised‘ to find that their house
was situated right in r.h- woods, with
but a sufficient clearing around the
house to protect‘ it from trees that
might have blown down; but during
the very warm days of summe' it
mxist be very cool and pleasant there,
and the trees also serve as a protection
in the winter. They have a very
good farm, a large portion of which is
fenced with hemlock logs. about
six feet in length, set up on end,
making a very durable fence, but oug-

geslive of hard work and perseverance.

After dinner In company with a
number of neighboring Patrons we
want to the hall of Plcusanton Grange
about two miles distant, where the
District Grange was then in session,
and passed a very pleasant afternoon
and evening with the members, some
of whom had ooine 2-5 miles or more
to attend the meeting, which lasted
two days, and was conducted in a
very business like manner.

fine public meeting well attended and
enthusiastic with avery good program
after the address and good music in
which some of the members of Plea..-
snt Grange are quite proficient.
Immediately after the meeting, the
young fo.ks formed on f- ra quadrille,
and although I am getting to be an
old man, ‘I could hardly resist the
temptation of taking a. part. All
seemed to enjoy it very much not only
those who took part but also those
that stood back and looked on.
Pleasanton Grar g 9 has a hall nearly
finished, wtich conveys the idea that
it has located to stop, a-ad an ac-
quainmnco with the members con-
firms it. They also haven flue class
of young people, who seem much
interested in the work, and tak- hold
with a will, and the unity that exists,
and the feeling that prevails among
the members give.» the assurance that
they know what a Grange is for. -
The next day we accoinponieli Bro.
H A. Donvllle home, where we ar-
rived about dark and as there was no
meeting for that evening it gave us an

opportunity to rest up a little, which

The next evening we had a very_

was very acceptable after traveling
fifteen miles over very bad roads in
greater part of which were State roads
built more for the pecuniary benefit
of the contractor than for travel. Bro.
D. hasa good farm situated in the
town of Marilla in a flue neighbor-
hood and in the midst of a good farin-
ing country.

The next morning Br . Sears, of
Cleon Grange came to take us to our
appointment for the evening, where
we had a good, rousing meeting well
attended.

Ole-on Granze has :1 good member-
ship, constanzly increasliig, and con-
teinplates building a hall this season
which will doubtless add much to’
their strength.

The next day we re1urr.ed to Bro.
Dauvillls. and in the evening met
Willi Mzirilia Grange whe t= we had a
very fine 8l](llt:llC:: and a good meet-
ing.

This Grange has not a latge mem-
bership, but they have the true spirit,
and for constancy cannot be excelled.
'I‘h.~y have had their ups and downs
like very many ot'ner(w‘ranges, but the
only really iin,-irtaiit question with
them at plt;8eIlt, seems to be the loca-
tion of a hall, which if amicably set-
tled will secure them the prosperity
they so much deserve.

This niel-ting concluded the work
for the week, and we remained over
Sunday with Bro. I). and attended
Sabbath Sc.'*oo_l in the neighborhood
which reminded us of our boyboo‘
days and called up many memories "
of long ago.

Monday, July 2d, found us again on
the road for Sherman, \Vexford Co.
We arrived at Bro. 'l‘aylor’s just in
time for dinner, an object that a
go-,d Patron should always keep in
view,and if any one should ask us if
Sister Taylor’s strawberries were good
the reply would be. “VVell I should
remark.”

Our meeting was at the Methodist
church at Sherman, and was fairly at-
tended, the audience being composed
mostly of members of Sherman
Grange, with not as many farmers
outside the gates as we should like to
have seen, but nevertheless we had a
very good meeting.

Sherman Grange has a good mem-
bership, and the only disadvantage
islocutiou, and perhaps we may be
wrong in this, but my observation has
confirmed the opinion, that Granges
located in cities or villages are not as
apt to succeed as those outside, for ‘~
various reasons: among which is a lia-
bility ‘ to secure 9. mixed membershp,
with various attractions to the detri-
ment of the meetings. Of course
there are many exceptions to this
but it is generally conceded, that
without cooperation is carried on, a
Grange is more liable to succeed in
the country. '

We remainedmv-.-r nigh’ with Bro.
Gl‘l.~.<\\'0l(l a rm uiber of Sherman
Grange, and early in the morning
Bro. Taylor called to take us to our
last appointment at Silver Creek
Grange, about 14 miles distant, but
here we were doomed to disppoint-
mont, as a heavy rain set in about
7 1*. M , and continued for two hours
or more. The prospect for a. good at-
tendance was fair, but for this drench-
ing rain.

We remained over night with Bro.
Fwrn.-‘worth of Silver Creek Grange,
and llie morning of the next day,
which was the glorious Fourth, we
started for Manton on the G. R. «St. I.
R. R., and found that they were pre-
paring to celebrate, and were flocking
in from all directions, from the bare-
footed boy with his fire-crackers, to
the old settler with his pants marked
“American A. Seamless,” in large lot-
ters. Whether this was an indication
of loyalty or economy we were unable
to learn, but at least it did not seem to
detract from the enjoyment of the oc-
casion.

Taking the 10:30 train for Cadillac.
we found they were also celebrating
and judging from the number of
drunken men on the streets, the sa-
loons had got a corner on the Fourth
of July. After doing a little mission-
ary work here, we took the train for
home, feeling that our labors were not
wholly in val -, and promising a re-
turn in the near future, with hope of
adding one or more Gtanges to the
number already in existence.

Bro J. T. Cobb.-——For the benefit of
those in need of good farm help, I will
give you my experience with the
English Emigrant Agency.

On the first of May I forwarded a
money order to pi-ly the passage of an
emigrant. Said emigrant arrived on
'he seventh ofJuly. I find him to be
an excellent young man of good steady
habits and well qualified to do all
kinds of farm labor. I believe those
needing good farm help, need not
hesitate to send their order to Mr.
B. J. Zidzense, with passage money
to pay for such help as wanted. I for-.
warded more than was needed for ex-
penses of said emigrant, and soon

after his arrival I received a. statement
of expenses and a check for the hal-
auge due mt-.K L. F. Cox.

A RURAL SABBATH.

BY WILL.

  

The country has charms on a sweet Sabbath
morning,
When free, blithesome Warblers are tuning
their throats,
When chanticleers crowing, of dawn’s giving
morning,
And nature in unison echoes their notes.

See Aurora rising——the eastern sky blushing,
Dispelling the darkness that hangs like :1

veil;
Till the west is aglow, and its rich, purple
flushing
Creeps over the stars, as they sink wan and
pale.
The wild honey-suckles are nodding and
waving,
Reflecting their bloom, in the blue, misty
lake
Whose ripples are cc-yly commingling and
laving,
And tapping the roots of the marsh mead-
ow brake.

Around apple-blossoms, the humming-birds
sipping,
With bumble-bees golden, the fragrant per-
fumes,
While t'arou,h the low bellry the swallows
are flitting,
And gliding through space» 0“ their mick.
silken plumes.

The smoly brown hamlet flies dash in the
sunlight,
.._- Its works of industry are hushed for the
day,
Such stillness prevails through the village,
that one might
F/en fancy the children had ceased in their
play.
On the maple not one scal1op’d green leaf is
stirring,
The forest stands mute in the sweet, balmy
air.
Old Tab on the hearth rug, has teased her
soft purring,
And everything seems to be breathing in
prayer.

What next! and what gladness the sunbeams
seem sighing,
As Aurora sweeps in a circle to noon,
While meadow larks over the grassy dell
firing.
Are caroling sweetly, a mild meadow tune.
Oh! the city may boast of its steep spired
steeple,
Its golded tongued be ls, ringing out in mid
air:
Its luxuriant pews, and its church going peo-
ple,
Who not for the preaching, but for music
are there.

It never has angels to deck it with scenery,
It may boast of its grandeur, but can it
compare;
With the beautiful country, whose rich va-
ried scenery,
Seems to he wrought, under God's hallowed
care.

How sweet above all! is the Sabbath at even-
ins.
When morning her flight o'er the green
hills has run;
And the s unbeams, throw fringes of gold at
their leaving
0’er the fantastic clouds by the far setting
sun.

Their white fleecy forms, droop away in their
gladness,‘
The zephyrs are hushed in a peaceful repose;
And songs and rejoicing, are mingled with
sadness,
As twilight is bringing the day to its close.

But th' rill trickles on, through the grassy
green bowers,
Now dancing in myriads of cool, fleecy
foam;
Now playfully darting and kissing the flowers;
Now backward reflecting the heaven's blue
dome;

What joy! on the ether comes sweet sounds
of singing,

it The organ rolls volumes of love to the sky,

And heavenly incense is everywhere flaming
Her robes over the soul with her sweet
minstrelsy.

What shall We Read?

 

Dear Nieces and Nep/zews.-——There
have been many philosophic attempts
to prove the truth of the statement,
that we Americans are neglecting
books and becoming merely news-
paper readers. At the same time
the disadvantages connected with
newspaper reading have been freely
discussed and our papers, magazines
and books have multiplied so rapidly,
every year adding to the voluminous
heterogeneous ma-.-s,itis not strange
some become bewildered and helpless-
ly ask, “Whdt shall we read?” '

To attempt‘ to read all that is worthy
to be read is useless, and to judicious-
ly select that which is of the most im-
portance to the reader,;seems diflicult,
when we consider in what a labyrinth
of literary productions we are liable to

{become entangled.

Did you ever think what a world of
trouble our orthodox ancestors were
saved, when the Bible and Robinson
Crusoe and .&Esop’s Fables constituted
their library, and newspapers were al-
most an unknown luxury? Then
there was no temptation to read hastily
no question about what should be
read.

That there are disadvantages con-
nected with newspaper reading is
obvious. The fragmentary, para-
graphic information gleaned from

' papers is not.the best food for the in-

tellect, although quite necessary to
our intellectual digestion. Our hurried
manner of living calls for condensed

the papers, consequently we read
them.

It is often lamented that our young
people read ffic newspapers so little,
and with good cause. Sure newspapers
should be read to a certain extent hui
not to the exclusion of books. VVe
must have something more stable,
more nutritious to feed our minds
upon ifwe would flourish.

My young friends, you are all doubt-
less, particular about what you eat for
your breakfasts and dinners. Food
that by scientific analysis has been
shown to be poisonous you avoid. Are
you are -is careful about properly sat
isfyllwiq your mental appetite? A
»_h-wiiglii about what we read as well
as ul)1)U-'. what we eat is needful.

AUNT PRUE.

   

Reading.

In reply to Myra’s queiy regarding
new.-paper reading: A hasty glance
over -.1 yapel‘ readily -hows one which
al‘l.l(;llz". containing items of interest
or assistance to him in his particular
business.

A str 1.-tly energetic person what-
ever his vocation, skimmingly reads
headings, thoughtfully peruses items
ofgeneral information, and thoroughly
digests that of special interest to him.
He has no occasion to weaken his
mind by the large amount‘ of gossip
and“trash.”

By keeping at his hand a half score
of dailies, weeklies and monthlies he
has enough nutritous reading, without
skipping that which “leaves a bad
taste in his mouth.”

An economical reader only selects
those articles best adapted to his per
sonal benefit, and finds time to im-
prove his mind by the more streng-.h
ening contents oi standard magazines
and books.

He who reads newspapers alone,
forfei-s the views of the thoughtful,
discerning mind of the writer or
more lasting works. He is fed on
“tidbits,” much written hastily by
paid writers, while many articles, ex-
cellent in themselves, are still lacking
in effect that of substantial connec
tive reading. GRACE.

An Allog ory.

One warm summer afternoon, I
moved the sofa out in the shade of a
friendly maple, and snugly ensconced
in its soft depths, I began my favorite
pastime, that of watching the fleecy
clouds float through space.

I was suddenly aroused from the rev-
ery in which I had fallen,to find myself
being lifted up, so that I began to float
through the air, up, up, nearer to the
clouds, which had now collected en-
masse, till I found myself seated upon
them.

Before I had time to look about me,
a voice at my left said, Cast thy ex es
downward,” turning I confronted a
small old man with along white beard
nearly reaching .0 his waist. His
features were without a wrinkle, but
had an aged look, and his countenance
shone like a. reflectivn from some
great light.

Again he addressed me in the same
language, and resisting the impulse to
question hls identity, I looked down-
ward. Instead ofa blrd’s eye view of
the world which I had recently left, I
saw the same blue sky, covered, except
in little strips here and there, with
clouds of every shape, size and color.

“These clouds,” said my companion,
“are the gifts sent to man; behold!
they come to take tnrir own.” I
looked again and saw a multitude of
people passing through an immence
gateway, which my guide called in-
fancy. As they entered, a sweet
though solemn voice exclaimed:
“Choose now thy manner of living
and choose wisely‘ for your whole
future depends upon thy choice.” ‘

Immediately each one began to se-
lect a cloud, but no sooner had they
gained possession of their treasures
than they passed through continual
transformations. One who had chosen
a cloud of blue and gold soon appeared
clothed in royal robes, and with a
crown upon his head; but he wore
such an expression of discontent and
unhappiness, mingled with fear, lest
he should be dethroned, that I knew
he was not to be envied. As the peo-
ple thronged in they saw his misery,
but still continued to choose the blue
and gold,thinking they would survive
his troubles and be happy.‘

Another selected, a beautiful pink
cloud which brought h in great rich-
es, and though he at flrst seemed to
say “a short life and a merry one,” his
fast livi - g soon caused his riches to
take to themselves wings and fly away,
and he went down to his grave, a poor
miserable drunkard, without a friend
to mourn over his untimely end.

A very few chose plain grey clouds
not at all pretty, and I wondered at
their choice, but as the clouds were
lifted, I saw that they had 9. silver
lining, then I knew that only the few
had chosen wisely.

' Turning to address my companion,
I found he had disappeared leaving

  

pehind him a bright light, so bright

 
  

in the shortest time, and we find it in ‘mt I °p‘°ned my 93'" with 3 “[3”,

only to find that I had been asleep
and the sun was shining in my face.

Boys.

I know Something about boys, I was
a boy myself once. I believe every
man was a boy once except Aduin. I
always had a high opinion of .»\daIn.
He never liid a wusp’s nest in his fu-
the1"s Sjuiiday pantzdoons, and never
stole-a custard pie from his mother.
He never took his l':itliei"s zuxgci‘
to bore a hole in 21 stone, or his moth-
ers scissors to cut gl:i.~;s. lie never
tied a tin pan to the <log’s tail, or tied a
bunch of lire crackers around the cat’s
neck and then touch the cut off. No
sir. And he did not tlirow mud balls
at a mark, and that lll:tI‘l{ his iuotlxcr’s
clothes line-, with the clothes all hung-
ing on it. And he did not tic his punts
tight around his ankles and pour sum]
and gravel down his neck, until he
bulged out like 2: snake swullowing :1
frog, and call it the run-st kind of fun.
No, sir, Adarn's existence was not
sini1'clu-d with the folly and clxiczuiery
of boyhood. llut my siibject is “lioy.s'."
Boyszire gcner-.illy a chip of the old
block, though some boys are chips of
the old blockliezid; but it is not hard to
distinguish the chips.

some boys are brought up, and some
boys come up, but you cuimot always
tell by the fruit the kind of soil it
grew in, but good stock generally pro-
duces goon fruit.

In order to make a boy smart, apply
the whip to him freely. Solomon re-
commends the whip. Solomon was a
smart ‘man, his great number of wives
made him smart, Perhaps that was
the reason he complained so much in
his old age.

’l‘o bring a boy up the way he should
go, travel that Way yourself, the boy
may follow and he may not, in either
case you do your part.

You cannot make any calculations
on a boy, if you do you will be disap-
pointed.

You cannot tell what a boy may
want to do next, if you want him to do
any particular thing you may as well
set it down as one of your permanent
wants.

some parents are continually prais-
ing their boys in public. Poor boys;
that is about all the praise such boys
ever get.

Every boy has good qualities in the
eyes of his mother, but I will venture

to say that one good quality in :1. boy.

is worth ten in the eye of his mother.
A boy has a good memory when you
promise him anything that he desires.
A boy has a wonderful forgetfulncss
when you ask him to do anything he
does not want to do; his forgetfulness

is sure to help him get rid of doing it._

If you undertake to coax a boy you
are his game; he can coax more out
of you in half an hour than you can
out of him in a day.

A boy can always eat when he is
hungry, but he can eat just as well
when he is not. He can stow away
a wonderful amount of rubbish, that
is when he can choose his own rub-
bish; but ask him to eat some cold
victuals left over from breakfast and
his eating capacity is gone completely;
he cannot eat a mouthful.

I never yet knew a hilly goat to be
on good terms with a boy; neverthe-
less they cannot keep away from each
other, but often come painfully close
together. but it is the boy that gener-
ally carries off the pain.

A boy has great patience when he
has a job of work to do, if the work
can wait he can, in fact on such occa-
sions he can always wait.

The most critical time in the life of
a boy is the time when he is passing
from boyhood to manhood, generally
known as the age of gosling-hood. At
that time a boy has a high opinion of
himself; he thinks he knows every-
thing, his self-esteem generates con-
ceit and conceit exposes his ignorance
As soon as the poor boy becomes aware
of his ignorance, he gets over the dis-
ease and is cured.

Well, after all, a boy is a boy be-
cause he cannot help it. A boy is not
to blame for being a boy, but when
he ceases to be a. boy he should be-
come a. man, that is what nature de-
signed, society expects and his own
best interests demand. But unfortu-
nately some boys never become men,
they degenerate into fellers: a. feller is
a poor kind of a biped, a boy struck
with the rust or a man gone to waste.

In view of the met that excursions
at reduced rates are to be run to D--
zroit, next Fall, for the accommoda-
tion of those desiring to attend the
Detroit Art Loan Exlibition, an out-
'l\ne of this ambitious enterprise will
be apropos. Briefly stated, over two
hundr: d of the leading citizens of that
city, have for months been perfect-
ing arrangements for the holding ofa
grand art exposition during the
months of September and Octol er of
this year.

A temporary brick building (to be
torn down as soon as the exhibition is
over) containing 26 rooms and costing
over $15,000 has been erected. The
structure contains over 2 -100 running
feet of wall room and is built up-:-i.

Weekly Wool Report ol Fenno and Manning,
Wool Commission Merchants.

BOSTON, JULY 21, 1883.

’I‘bere has been a large business now-
in wool the past week, but it has been
unevenly distributed. a few houses-
doing the bulk «-f it and selling large
lines on private terms, which would
indicate figures a trifle below the
market quotations. The effect on the
market is very good however, show~
ing that some of the larger manufar;-
turers are quite ready to operate ill
about to-.lay’s figures, and, as we re-
marked in our last week’s report, ..
level in prices has been reached at
which a large business can be done if
sellers will be content with it and not
attempt to boom the market as soon
as free buying begins. Wht. rever
there has been any indication of this
' has at once checked business, .au
manufacturers know that there is a
full supply of wool, and consequently
no nec-cs-.<ity of buying it at a figure
which only means a loss in its manu-
fscture.

Notwithstanding the dull wool mar-
ket of the past four months, the total
sales since January first are about
200,000 lbs. in excess of last season's
business for the same period; the
sales for the first two months of
1883 having largely exceeded those of
the corresponding months in 1882.

In woolen goods, particularly in
worsteds and ladies’ goods, there has
been decidedly better feeling during
the past week, and signs of improve-
ment in other fabrics are very evi-
dent. If the crops turn out, after
harvest is over, as good
every reason to believe they will,
there seems to be no legitimate doubt
ofour having a very active market
next month, and throughout the Fall,
for all classes of woolen fabrics, and a
good business in woolens means a
good business in wool.

There is no news of interest from
the foreign markets. What little wool
is being sold at private contract in
London is at figures slightly above the
closing rates at the last auctions. The
Antwerp auctions open July 23d,
when a arge offering, mainly of flue
80. American wool, will be made,

Sales the past week foot up about
3,750,000 pounds, against about 3,970,-
000 pounds for the same period -.f last
year, and about 2,700,000 pounds for the
preceding week of this year. The prin-
cipal sales have been of California and
Oregon wool about 1,000,000 pounds;
of Texas Territory and Southern wools,
about 900,000 pounds; and of pulled
wools, about 400 000 pounds.

Among the sa es we note Michigan,
Wisconsin, New York States, 130,000

ounds X new and old, rather heavy

ots,at 33 to 33§c.;200,000 X new at 34c.;
50.000 pounds choice at 35c.; 100,000

pounds New York X at 330.; 5,000
pounds No. 1 at 3'30.
About 200,000 pounds of combing

and delaine wools have sold at from
38 to 40c. for fine delaine; 40 to 430. for
N0. 1 combing; 33 to 350. for medium
combing; 30 to 32c. fol‘ low combing.
Fine delaine wools and flue combing
wools are in much lighter supply than
a year ago, all the wools we have so
far opened having shown a great fall-
ing in the yield of staple; and as flne
worsted goods are selling better than
almost anything else, we think prices
of the fine grades of combing and de-
laine woo. are likely to advau;e some

what as the season progresses.

347,000 pounds of unwashed and un-
merchantabl». wool have sold at 20 to
250. for fine unwashed; 25 to 27c. for
fine unmercliantable; 27;» to 30c. for
fine medium unwashed;
medium unwashed, and

THE REAPER DEATH.

R()§ENBURG.——It again becomes our sad
duty to record the death of another »f our
band. the sixth, in but little more than thr» e
years. On the llth of May at Reed City,
whxther his parents had lately removed, lino.
WILLIE ROSENBURG died in the eighteenth
year of his age. How mysterious are the
ways of Providence. We cannot comprehend
why it is the young are taken and the aged
left, we only know that many times it is so,
and we can only trust in a. higher power even
our Heavenly Father, in whom we can have
faith that Hedoeth all things well. Bro. and
bister Rosenburg, the parents of the deceased
have the sincere sympathy of this Grange in
their affliction. The Grange, by unanimous
vote.

Resolved, That our charter be draped for
thirty days, anda copy of the foregoing be
presented to the family of the deceased, en-
tered upon the minutes of the Grange and

f< rwarded to the Gasxoa Yisiros for publi-
cation- ,

COWEN.—Died July 9th, 1883, aged 21
years, l8 days, Sister NELLIE COWEN, a wor-
thy member of Mt. Tabor Grange, No 43.

The great Master by this visitation, has
called from these fields of labor, to those over
and beyond, from whence no Husbandmau or
l-latron has ever returned, our beloved sis-
ter NELLIE COWEN, perhaps better known to
many as Miss NELLIE Mcomiaa. Stricken
down in three short hours, from the perfect
joyous blooming of health and hope, she
leaves a mother, a husband and a large circle
of acquaintances to remember her as the com-
pleteness of nature's handiwork.

This change so sudden, seems but a dream.

That kindly smiling face which drew all
within the lines of its reflection, into the
same happy mental condition, will preside no
more in its accustomed place.

The husband has lost a young and affec-
tionate wife, whose congenial and attractive
nature scattered along life's pathway those
womanly graces so much admired for their
sterling worth; the mother an only and idol-
ized child; the Grange an enthusiastic de-
votee to its principles, and Mt. Tabor Grange
a beloved and faithful sister.

Feebly as this memento may express our
feelings of sorrow and sympathy, we tender
this as a tribute to her memory.

Funny pictures and stories may do
good on the principle “lau h and grow
fut,” but while l)r. Pengefiy is a man
who enjoys fuu, no man more, he
couldn't if he would gct.up a funny
book. He has however just published
a medical book entitled “Advice to
Mothers c0ncerninfiDiseases of lV'omen

technical and inipractical discussioiis,
and all nonseiise, and by filling it with
plain, practical useful information has
sought to make It book which i"telli-
gent and thoughtful people will think
well of. Every women, especially
mothers, should have it. We should be
pleased to send it to any lady address-

ng on to make them soft.

mg the necessity oi coming the room by the
