tend the National Grange and make
that do for this year. Providence has
not smiled upon us in these parts this
80118011. Wheat is not half a crop and
corn and oats are not much over that,
while potatoes are almost a failure.
There are more apples than one would
think t'or. Herc within a space of a
mile and a half are four evaporators and
they all seem to be getting plenty oz
apples. They pay 20 ccnts per bushel
for fall apples. Before the cvaporating
business began these apples Were nearly
all ted to the hogs or rotted in the or-
chard. Now they are a. real source of
profit. \Ve attended the picnic at
Rccd’s Lake and heard Gov. Luce. He
had but 35 minutes in which to speak
and did not have time to tell his “big
steer” story. A speech from Bro. Luce
without the steer story islikc the play
of Hamlet with Hamlet lef't out.

The Resources of the Farm.

[Ironic Paper read before Eaton County
Grange]

When We consider that the very ex-
htence of the entire human race de-
pends upon the resources of the farm
for life, that either immediately or re-
motely the soil produces every parti-
cle of the‘ iiutriinents with which we
are fed and clothed, we will at once
Ieewhat close relationship the ques-
tion of production has to do with ev-
eryone; for has it not been well said
that the man through exertion should
discover how two blades of grass may
be made to grow wlicr> but one before
might be justly regarded as one of the
greatest beiiefactors of his race?

More progress has been made prob-
ably in the last fifty years in all use-
ful arts than in any three or four cen-
turies previous. Have the fariiicrs
andproducers kept pace with other
industries? In some respects they
have. A few years ago who would
have thought of tlircsliing corn? Yet
this past fall this has been done in
many places in this State with what
seems to be satisfactory results; and I
believe within a few years it will be
aamuch practiced as threshing other
grains; also the old laborious way of
butter-making is fast. giving way to
the new and much improved labor-
saving creamery process. In niy opiii-
ion if the f'ariners could be educated
to put more confidence in farm co-op-
eration, there might be in each town-
ship a creamery or butter factory con-
ducted by them, which I should con-
sider one of the most iiiiportant strides
in the progress of (iilll’yill0‘. Among
intelligent fiiriiiers there can be no ex-
«use for middlemen in dairy manage-
ment, now that this business, as well
as all other industries of the farin, are
getting down finer and finer each year
with correspondingly lessened profits.

The secret of success in farming
then must be to produce the most and
best of all farm products and market
them at the least expense.

A few years ago wheat raising was
considered a very profitable industry,
the consequences being that, througli
the continuous cropping of this ce-
real, the fertility of many farms has
become impoverished to such an ex-
tent that it will take many years to
restore the soil to its original vigor.
This, in my judgment, can be best
done by combining stock raising with
cropping, for when we consider some
of the great wheat industries of the
world that are developing more and
more each year, well may we sa y that
the alarm of the Wheat growers is not
groundless. A few years since our

ears were from the great prairies of
the west, but the uncertainties of the
seasons and the yearly decrease per
acre on continuous cropping assure
us that the strong black soil of the
west cannot in time produce wlicat
much cheaper than we. But there is
no longer a doubt that the whcat re-
sources of India are enoriiious, and
with the lowest-priced hihor i{ii'.iiV'll
to the world, they are pl'U<ill(:lliJ
wheat at a price and making a profit
where farincrs evcrywliere else are in
consternation at the price at which
they have to sell.

\Vith those facts in view. \Voi'tliy
Master, the prospects for wheat for
several years yet to come, being a very
remunerative biisiiiess for us, are nol
warraiilcd; yet I coiisider it iiccc~s':ii'y
for us to raise some wheat in order to
make a successful rotation of crop.-: and
be able to supply bedding for stock
necessary for absorbing and rct:iining
the liquids of manure wlicrcby it may
be properly i'estoi'cd to the soil.

I question in my own mind at tlic
present time the propriety or safety of
the farnicr making any one thing a
specialty to the detriment of’ all oili-
ers. Yes, I believe in a diversity of
farming mixed with stock raisliig.
First, always secure the best stock pos-
sible of all kinds for raising, even if
it does cost a little more in the begin-
ning—the best horses, the best cattle,
the best sheep, and of all, the best
swine.

It seems to me that we should al-
ways have clearly defined ideas as to
what we are raising theaniinal for; if
‘a horse, whether it be draft or general

_ farm work, or for speed or carriage.
These, and perhaps other uses to which
the horse may be put require very
different characteristics in the animal.
We ought to understand what we de-
sire to raise, and select accordingly. I
very much question whether the
breeding of fast horses for the general
farmer is the most profitable branch
of breeding horses, for I apprehend
that of all the people that use and de-
sire to possess horses not more than
one in fifty or seventy-five cares
whether their horse can go in three or
zsix minutes. I should say let those!
who have the desire and skill to train,
and perfect and the means withal to.
wait fora market for him, raise the
trotter, but let the -mass of tariiiers
raise good, substantial, com pact
work horses, and good remuncrativc-‘
prices will be found for ten of tlienr
to one ti-otter. _

‘in cattle it costs no more to raise :1‘
Durham, Hereford, or Holstein cow or.
steer than a native, yet at two or three’
years old the selling value of the one,
is nearly or quite double that of the
other.

These are demonstated facts, and the’-
sooner we adopt. them in our practice
the sooner will we reap some of the
profits to which our hard labor enti-
tles us.

Is there an intelligent farmer among

us to-day that would take as a gift to

keep and breed a flock of our old na-
tive bare bellied and legged sheep, or
the long-nosed, loiig-legged sk_v-cut-
ters which used to be raised and fatted
for pork a few years ago, while they
could buy even f'or extravagant prices
our much improved breeds of sheep
and swine? After selecting the kind
of animals to raise we should feed and
care for them well at all times, keep-
ing them in all seasons of the year in
such condition that they may be mak-
ing the natural growth that nature
designs them t.o make.

How often do we actually see ani-
mals come to grass in the spring
smaller than they were when they
.anie to the yard in the fall. Oftiiiics
i think we allow our stock to run on
grass too long in the fall without oth-
er fecd. for. after a few severe frosts
in the fall there is no iiutriineiit in
grass. although it inay he growthy
enough that they fill tlicinselvcs well,
yet there is no heart to it.. At this
time a little meal or grain of some
kind properly adiiiiiiistered has much
to do in the wintering condition of the
animal. Fort-y or fifty yearsago with
the cxteiidcd forests of lllicliigan as a
slicltcr from the bleak winds, stock
would winter passably well with
straw stack or fence corner for protec-
tion: but now it is an absolute neces-
sity that we properly slicltcr our stock,
for the :iniin:il heat wliic.li must exist
in every living animal is produced by
the coiisuniptioii of food. So the
greater degree of cold to which the
animal is exposed the greater amount
of food must be consuuied to keep up
this heat.

One of our most serious defects is in
trying to raise and winter more stock
than we can well. This also will ap-
ply to agriculture generally. In at-
tempting to cultivate too much ground
people sccrn to be as ageueral thing
more intent on the number of acres
they shall sow or plant than the niiin-
ber of bushels they shall produce. I
think this is all wrong; if we cannot
cultivate the whole of it in the very
best manner we had best leave part of
it for pasture and nieadow where it
will be improving in richness. This
is a serious mistake in our farining to-
day. American farmers are getting
too fast with their improved niachiii-
cry in trying to cultivate too iiiuch.
If we would confine our labors to a
smaller portion, or just what we could
do well. I believe in a few years we
would find our soil producing more
while our grounds will be continually
improving. while by our prcsciit sys-
tem they are constaiitly deteriorating.

In conclusion allow me to say that I
consider that first and foremost of all
these interests is that of education, for
Icoiisidcr that. practical education is
the very cradle of all the improve-
ments which have already been made
and of those which are to follow.
(llicrish it, then, as the greatest. legacy
that you can p0ss‘ibi_V leave to those
who arc to come after you, as it cer-
tainlv is the most valuable one we
could h:ivc' rcccived froiii those who
have gone before. Gian. D. I’n.A.i'.

Some Folks I Know.

I suppose there are as many roniai'itir-

but because there :irc so inany people

Lct inc iiot'icc a few.

The first wliicli occurs is that of an
aldci'iiiaii ivhoiii I liavc seen hundrcds

life-l<=:isc on the positioii. To liea (_,‘.it_v
l“atlier, even in llufl'alo. is not a very
giddy licight on the ladder of iaiiic.
but when one is c.<pcci:illy proiiiiiiciit
on the floor of tlic chainlicr and in
soiniiiiftcc coiinrils and comes from
the huiiiblcst walks in life, it is wor-
ihy of note. The aldcrin:in to whom
I re-fa‘-i' is always given the best of at-
Iczitiuii: for he always lias soiiietliiiig

Thc inattcr of gates at a i'ailro:id
crossing was before the street coiiiinit-
tee of which lie is a iiicnibcr. Ho wished
gates put up and told of many narrow
escapes he liinisclf had had at that
same place. The lawyer of the rail-
road said he had Cl‘0'~‘.5(3Ll the same
place many times and had never been
hurt. Quick as a flash came the witty
alderman’s answer: “The old saying, a
fool for luck.” The laugh was on the
lawyer. This alderman a few years
ago was a common day laborer on the
docks, doing the same work a hundred
others are doing now—unloading the
freight of boats. He got to be a police-
man aftera while, then gained some
influence, or “flooence” in his ward.
One thing followed another until now
diamonds flash from his fingers, shirt
front, and a fine gold watch.

The manager and owner of one of
the largest dailies in the city and the

proprietor therewith of the largest‘
show printing house in the world, has

a. romantic history.

hunks bcgiir) a little, ignoraiii. German

boy had-a retentive memory and his
childless employer took afancy to him,‘

put him in the business office to learn

business methods, crowded him along‘

as fast as he could progress, after a. few
years made him manager, and every-
where he went his little German boy
was sure to go. When he died he be-
queathed him an interest in the estab-
lishment. His foster father, besides
leaving this immense printing concern,
also left a young wife, who found it

difficult to manage such large finan-
cial iiitcrests, and she often sought the
advice of the young manager in the
business afliiirs of which he had such
a perfect knowledge. Thus he became
acquainted with her, and
“seen too oft, familiar with her face,
He first endured,then pitied, then embraced.”
So you see this true story is to be
ended in true fictioii style. Of course,
they got married and now he owns the
entire establishment practically, be-
sides liviiig on the most -aristocratic
avenue in the city and in the most su-
perb style. E. W. S.

What is Genius

In takiiig up the pen to write on
this question, one feels its fascinatioii
stealing over him; and it is as difficult
to describe the fascination as to de-
scribe genius, its cause. Like poetry,
one can adiiiire it, feel and acknowl-=
edge its power to charm and control
him, but can not tell what it is. If We
can not readily decide what genius is,
we can make some advance toward it
by deciding what it is not. It is not
talent or anything that can be got in
the schools. Whether we are ever to
obtain a true definition of genius or
not, it seems certain, as we said of poo-
try, that it is one ofthc difiicult things
to define. The more I study the sub-
ject, the more I think that Carlyle was
wrong when he defined gcnius to be
“an infinite capacity for tziking paiins."

A man may have the Carly lesc fac-
ulty for taking pains and yet be no
genius. Still there was somctliiiig pa-
thetic, as well as praiscworthy, in the
way Carlyle sat up through the long
iiiglits acquiring power with great ef-
fort. “As an ambitious inan,” says an
English writer, “he doubtless had no
other course open to him, though gen-
ius, lying on its back, can not help
siiiiling at talent, hard at work in its
shirt slccvcs.” For genius has the rare
gift of being privileged in the execu-
tion of its woi-k—-ofdoing things witli-
out the paiiistaking labor by which
talent. accomplishes its work. In other
words. genius has beeiidefiiied as pow-
er without effort, and talent as power
with effort. Although it is ture that
genius of the finer order declares itself
later in life, as in Gluck and \Vagner,
yet, as a rule, it manifests itself early.
Mozart’s genius for music appeared
when he was four years of age; Men-
delssohn’s at nine; Beethoven’:-' at four,
and he Wrote a cantata at ten. lVon-
derful anecdotes are related of Tasso’s
childish powers. He wrote Rinaldo
in his seventeenth year. Beauniont was
called the “eager child of song.” (Iow-
ley, when ten, wrote an epical roinuiice.
called “the most astonisliiiig feat of
imaginative precocity on record."
Pope, when a child. “lispcd in iiiiiii-
hcrs.” Ilc was a satirist at ten and
wrote in his twelfth year the beautiful
and toucliing staiizas on solitude. By-
ron and f ,‘olci'idgc are conspicuoiis cx-
ainplcs of gciiiiis dccl:ii'iiig itself‘ in

Gliiiipses and touches of nature per-
vade thcir writings. Talent gives us
what art can accoinplisli — gciilus
"sii:itchcs a grace beyond the rcacli of
art.” "The aronia of that origiiiality,
which in soiiie iiicxplicablc way gets
into the work of genius, can not be
niistakcn for anything else in the
world.” l'xcats’s “Ode to a nightin-
gale” will be as odorous as a magnolia
bloom one tliousand years from now.
\Vho can explain the effect on him of
reading (‘xray’s Elegy or one of Bui-ns’s
best songs? And how shall the world-
wide powcr and increasing admiration
of Sliakcspt-are be accounted for? Mere
talent plus industry, even with infinite
capacity for taking pains, though it
may accomplish great results, “has
never created and never will create
anything which can exhale the fra-
grance of genius.”

But the niodei'n passion for realism,
and it is confined to a. few, has attempt-
ed to eliminate genius as an intellectu-
al endowment, and reduced man’s eii-
tire mental faculties to talent. In the
language of Ilowells, “Realism is the
comnioii-place, the one desirable ele-
ment in fiction. Mediocrity is all there
is of human life that is iiiterestinv.
and a mild sort of vulgarity is the
one living truth in the character of"
men and women?’ He makes the mis-
take of knowing no middle course be-
tween impossible heroes and no he-‘
roes atall. Yet despite Howells, there‘
is such a thing as heroism among incn.;
Human nature has not lost that quali-‘
ty, and even the cultivated world loves
to hear of heroic deeds that are possi-
'ble to average human nature. l\'ow,i
if we have outgrown much of the im-

possible heroism of the old writers.
yet heroism itself has not departed
from the earth. People still like to be
thrilled by the narrative of heroic
deeds. But, says the realist per se, you
must either be thrilled by the impos-

you t of liquor temptation.

sible or you musn’t be thrilled at all.

Heroism is impossible; if you won’t i

have the impossible, then you can’i
have heroisii . Take your choice be-
tween Sir Walter Scott and Mr. How-
ells. Tliere is no middle course. Now
the people have made their choice.
Mr. Routledge, a well known book-
seller of'London, sold in the year 1885,
30,000 volumes of Scott and 43,699 vol-
umes of Dickens. This was done by
one bookseller. What then must be
the number of volumes of those two
authors sold by all the booksellers in
England and America? To come near-
er home. The Uritic, of August 27
last, to find out what booksare mostly
bought among our people obtained
from. a. wholesale bookstore, whose
trade extended over the northern half of
the Mississippi Valley,the actual num-
ber of volumes sold, during five years,
of some one hundred authors. For
convenience in making comparisons,
the number sold of the most popular
author was made 1,000. This was E.
P. Roe, because this bookstore makes a
specialty of Roe’s books. Dickenscame
next :it 800, and Scott some below that
figure. taking the fifth place,and How-
clls was almost the last in this long
list. being put down for fourteen vol-
umes sold in five years. Mr. Howells
and the other l‘C:lil.~«‘LS who think Dick-
ens could not write novels are i'cspcct-
f'iilly invited to ex.-iniiiic these figures,
with the reinindcr that In‘. Jolinsoii
once said. “\Vli:it plcascs many, and

A Cure for Alcoholism.

assurance that the cure is reliable and

and strove long and hard, but I seldom
hcld victory overliquor long. I hated
driinkcnncss, but still I drank. When
I left it offl felta horrid want of soiiic-
thing I must li:ive or go distracted. I
could neither cat, work nor sleep. I
entered a rcforiiicry and prayed for
strength; still I must drink. Ilivcd
so for over twenty years: in that time

Tliey were all bound for (lifl'ercnt
points west. of the Mississippi river,
and left Chicago about the same time.
At l)avcnport .\l Stanton encounter-
cd a terrible snowstorin, and found the
railroads blockadcd in every direction.
She hired a team and driver and madc
her rounds over more than a hundred
miles in reaching the points where she
was advertised to lecture on woman’s
sufl’rage, and when she returned to
Chicago she met the same gentlemen
at the hotel, and inquired after their
success in traveling through a country
buried in snow. All had turned back
when the railroad could not take them
to their appointments, and she alone
of the bureau had filled her engage-
nients. She asked General Kilpatrick
if he thought Sherman would have
turned back in his march to the sea on
meeting a snow bank, and he was then
and there converted to woman suf-
frage, at least he admitted that Mrs.
Stanton had the courage for a voter.

ble manners, which the tin or ‘queens-

fect our bearing in after life as do those
learned at the home table. The studv
of multitudes of books of ctiquctfe
can never give us the ease and grace in-
sensilily acquired in childhood at a
well-ordered t Ible. And at that well-
ordered table, children, while not un-
duly brought forward, fccl that they
as well as the elder members of the
household, have a share in that refine-
meat which desires and brings about
dainty table-linen, shining cutlery and
pci'i'cctly clcan china. glass or silver.
If at all pl'.‘ll'ilL’{i.i)l0 let cacli child have
its glass, tumbler or goblet, its salt
cellar and napkin evey day, and be
taught from its cai-licst admittance to
the faiiiily table to use each article
carefully and gracclully. “Tlien,” as
l\lai'ion Harland says, “when there is

culture of‘ choice fruits; the almost gen-

which often leads citizens to boast that
no child born in this country need
grow up in ignorance, and yet it is a
fact that many people who have learn-
ed to read and Write have never taught
themselves to think. A man who suf-
fered from catarrli, consumption,
bronchitis, scrofula, or “liver com-
plaiiit,” might read, till his eyes drop-
ped out, how these and many other
diseases have been cured by Dr.
Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery,
but if he did not take the lesson to
himself and test the virtues of this
great medicine, his time would be
thrown away.

says Orange County Farmer, that excel-
sior (the line, soft shavings need by up-
liolsterers in packing furniture) is the best
material in which to wrap eggs for ship-
ment, and that is light basket is the beat
package in which to ship them. Twenty-
six eggs. weighing tour pounds, can be
packed in a cubical cedar basket holding
but a little over a. peck, and after a heavy
canvas cover is sewed on the whole afiair
need not, should not, weigh over seven
pounds, and with reasonable care will go

By poi.t.iii,<,; the bulbs about the middle
of Septenilier they can be brought into
bloom for the (‘liristinas holidays. A con-
tinuous supply of the flowers can be kept
up throiigli the winter by potting a few
at intervals of two weeks all through the
autumn.

The bulbs increase more than double
every year. Diiring the resting stage
there is no better Wuy to keep them than
to leave them in the pots where they have
bloomed, keeping them quite dry, for if
they are moistened they will wmmence
to grow.

, The following directions are given in
Vick’s Magazine: A soil composed of
loam, lent mold and well decayed manure
and a little sand, such as is commonly
used in potting, is suitable; half a dozen
bulbs can be set in a four inch pot, filling
the soil about them to their tips, or just
to cover them. Give water and set them
in 8 cool place in the greenhouse, (misera-
wry orwindow. They do not need much
heat, a. temperature of 55 degrees being
plenty. They should be near the glass,
and not be kept too close, but having air
given frequently in favorable weather.
About ten degrees more of heat can be
allowed as the blossoming season ap-
proaches. .

Fe-eclliig for Milking Tests.

High priced cows that are foil for milk-
lug tests are induced to eat and drink all
they will of isoniid. wholesome food and
clean. pure water. Silage and roots are
largely fed as supplemeiitnl food, the idea.
being that these keep the uninia.l’s system
in good, healthy condition. Sliced car-
rots form one of the favorite foods for
milch cows. In addition to rations of
roots are given generous quantities of
clover, hay and grain.

It is said that there is in Howard county,
Ark., a large deposit of iron ore so pure
that it can be forged by a blacksmith into
horseshoe nails without any smelting, and
that this was often done during the war.
The outcrop measures two miles from east
to west, is from fifteen to thirty feet wide,
and of unknown depth.

lmoiiiiment is to be raised to Jennie
Wade, the only resident of Gettysburg:
killed during the biittle.

DEAR SIR AND Bl{0THElt:—-

In accordance with the provisions of
its Constitution and the resolution
adopted at the Session of lt5.‘5(', the
Twenty-first Session of the National
Grange, Patrons of Husba1idry,will l)('
held in the city of Lansing, 1\licliig:in.
commencing on “the first VVcdiresda_v
after the second Monday in Novciiiber,"
16th, (see note,) at eleven o’cIock A. M.

The Sessions of the Grange will be
held in Representative Hall, in the
State House, which has been kindly
tendered by the Board of Control for
the use of the National Grange.

Accommodations for the National
Grange have been secured at the Lan-
sing House, at the rate of $1.75 per
day each, where two occupy the SIHIIO
room, or 82 Where there is only one oc-
cupant,including the heating ofrooins.

By order of the Executive Commit-
tee. JOHN TRIMBLI-Z,

Secretary National Grange.

Note.—An error was make on the
cover of the Journal of Proceedings
of 1886. “Beginning November 9”
should read “Beginning November 16.”

WE are in receipt of a small contri-
bution to the defense fund from a
Grange Secretary who writes, “The
collector of royalty in this county
says he is about done throwing clods
and is going to throw something that
will bring the boy down.”

This agent evidently has in mind
Webster’s old spelling book of50 years
ago and we think there are so many
old boys up that tree that don’t intend
to be bulldozed by his talk that he
will do 9. more m0nc_v-making busi-
ness by invading some territory where
there are fewer Gruiigcs. lVe say again,
don’t come down and pay, but tell this
agent and his follows. to throw all the
shot in their locker. VVc want some
amusement, have but little corn to
husk, and intend to thresh that with
a. machine and shall probably never
have more time to have a tilt with a
royalty robber than now.

'I‘m-zm: are important questions com-
ing up in the VISITOR that your neigh-
bors need to knowlabout. Will you
not ask them to subscribe?

The show of truits was more largely
than ever before from county liorti-
I7Ull.lll'£ll societies. We make note of
the following: lngham, Lciiawee. Uce-
ztllfl. Lapcer, l‘l:ttOl|, Wexford, Lake,
Clrarlevoix, Benzic and Waslrtenaw,
also \Vayl:1nd Ilorticulturzil Society
in Allegan County.

In addition to the exhibits by horti-
cultural societies we found a fine show
of pears, grapes, peaches and srpplos
from Berricii C0,, forwarded by VV. A.

t'ruit raising. “Fruit. as shipped by
South Haven Growers” was a display
in the packages as sent to market and
guariiriteed by the grower. There is :1
ileterrnined effort on the part of these
;_{roWers to establish such a clr.‘l1‘£1ctCr'
for their fruit that :1 iri:1ii’s name on :r

all the best fruit is Worth. In this
collection we sampled :i new variety,
of grape, the “lialanriizoo,” siiiril:rr to
the Crawford in quality but much
lrzirdicr.

A fine pyramid of peaches, grapes
and other fruit attmcteil riiuclr atten-
tion. Midland County sent two dozen
plates of fine apples, and we noticed :1
tew plates of Russian apples from
Wis<-.orrsirr.

E. 11. Scott, of W'ashteiiaw County,
made a fine exhibit of grapes and
peaclrcs, as did J. C. Sharp, of Jackson
County, but, as we said before, the
larger part of the fruit was exhibited
by agricultural societies. That some
were better goes without saying. That
the whole exhibit vvas really very
creditable for a bad year we think no
one will deny.

C. Eiigle, a fruit raiser of Lawton,
exhibited 16 varieties of sccdliiig
grapes, which We were invited to s:rm-
ple. VVe returned averdict that some
were superb in quality as well as in
zippeararrce and Worthy a place in fu-
ture catalogues.

There were over 1000 entries in the
fruit department.

Nearly all the space in Agricultural
Hall was well filled. \Ve were par-
ticularly interested in the vegetable
exhibit of Charles Miller, of Mason, on
account of the land where grown. He
assured us that it. was a tamarack
swamp less than five years ago. With
good drainage conditions he had, at 8
cost of some $15 per acre for tile drain-
ing, brought this swamp from a cori-
dition of worthlessness to a state of
fertility, and had this year produced
abundirnt crops of everything planted.
He found this swamp a bed of nruck 6
feet deep, saturated with water, rest-
ing on :1 str:rta of cl:iy. Among his oth-
er exhibits were 20 v:1rietie.s of pota-
toes all grown on this marslr, and
some very fine ones. The Agricultur-
al College, with its_54 kinds of onions,
had in Mr. Miller a worthy competi-
tor.

From the display of Mr. D. B.
Harrington we think Mason, Ingiiam
County; must be famous for potatoes.
This gentleman had 700 varieties, all

nicely arranged, although all were not

BEE i)i~;PAr:Trir:Nr

we found ‘V. Z. Hutchirisoii. of Rog-
ersville, surrounded with honey put
up in all styles and all the nrodern de-
vices that belong to beekeeping of va-
rious makes. W'e talked with him
five minutes and of the wise things he
said we only cared to remember this
as confiriniiig what we have often said.
The improvements of the last quarter
ofa century have brought us to an
era of specialties and success can only
be expected by regarding that tact.
The average farmer will not succeed
in beekeeping. He has no taste for it
and will not give it attention at the
time when attention is absolutely nec-
ess_ar'y. If he has a boy or girl that
takes to it as ‘a duck to water by all
means give that boy or girl :1. chance.
Subscribe for a Bee journal, purchase
a plant and go a.he:1d, but don’t for a
moment think that ANYBODY CAN KEEP
BEES. To succeed in the business re-
quires an education and that educa-
tion must be built on a liking for the
business. Other gentlemen were
present in this deptirtrriciit, but we
had no time to make their acquaint-
ance or learn the how and the why of
their methods and management.

The sheep-pens were well filled with
fine specimens of the diifererit breeds.
Much wool to the weight of carcass,
and much mutton to the sheep, could

be found in Inrriiyfpc-us. Farmers are
giving more attention than formerly
to breeding for mutton, and when has
been learned by expcrimi;-iit and obser-
vation is just what it is important. to
know. So far we believe the g1'eatest
success has been :itt:rined by crossing
the Shropshire with the Merino. The
product, half and half. gives a lamb
of early rrratirrity, good quality of
wool. large size, with a pr'edisp0sition
to take on fat and get ready for market
when younor. To cross again, produc-
ing three-quarter blood stock, has not
proved a success: and another thing
stock men have learned that should
not be torgotten, Merino ewes once
m'osseil with Sliropshires cannot be re-
lied on :rtt.erward to raise first class
Meriiio lambs.

\Ve did not give nriich time to the
noble animal—the horse. l\l:iny of our
fariners have a large experience t:ilk-

ly or well on that subject, and prefer
leaving itto those who can. But it

the exhibition of a i.l'fllll€‘(.l horse and
the elrariot races with lady drivers.
We doift believe. playiiig that card
brought 1600 more people on to the
grounds, :uid if it did they paid liber-
ally for what they got.

There was an immense display of
iziriir rriacliiiiei'y and inrpleineiits, of

which we caiiiiot write particiil:ii'ly.
Their merits were proclaimed by
ageiits who seemed disposed to earn
their wages. The chaiiges iir:ide ll‘()lll
year to year in firrm macliiiiery,
known as iiiiprovemcnts, have rcaclred
that stage of complication that only
an expert can judge of their vzrlue, and
then it must be by actual trial. New
or improved maclrines are crowding
others to the wall. The feasibility ot
ruriiiing corn right from the shock
through a threshiiig niacliiiie has been
established, and that is equivalent to
an order to stop'nranuiacturing large
power cutters, as they will not be
wanted except for hay and straw.
Their use for corn fodder is supersed-
ed by the threshing macliirie,which
does the work better and cheaper.

A marked feature of this State Fair
was the good order everywhere. No
liquor selling, no wheels of fortune,
no shooting stands to capture the
(limes oi the boys, and none of those
most objectionable features that a few
years ago were so annoying to all the
better class of patrons of the Fair. It
took a resolute fight to overcome the
temptation to sell licenses to saloon
men, but the management. recognized
the growth of temperance sentiment,
and were equal to the occasion. \Vc
have had two State Fairs without
beer selling on the grounds, and this
year the precaution was takcir to iri-
struct gate-keepers to refuse admit-
tance to any person or thing that had
the appcararice of smuggling the cori-
trrrbznid goods. A few _ve:irs ago
drunken nren were hauled off from the
grounds on a dray. This year we did
not see or hear of a drunken man on

the grounds. The World moves!

The West Michigan Fair.

Moiiday ope-iied clear and fair and before
the sun \\ as many hours high a scene ofbus
tie and cc-nfii.-ion filled the Iinir Grounds. Ex
hibiiors were constantly arriving with tlieii
goods and other exhibits and everyone seemed
bent upon doing a great amount of work in
the least possible time.

Tuesday found the representatives of the
Vrslrok snugly installed in their quarters
near the main entrance of the grounds and
ready to begin husiiiess in earnest.

Art Ilall was occupied by (jrand Rapids
firms exclusively and the riclrness of the dis-
plays and the taste evinced in their arrange-
ment has iieverbeen equaled at any previous
Fair. The central square was occupied by
the firm of

ii. l.E<>NARD’$5i)NS & co,

crockery dealers, and their display of lamps,
tine crockery and glassware, and bric—a-brar:
of all kinds was simply dazzling from its
richness, beauty and variety.

Sl’Rl.\'(; 8: co., AND VOIGT, HERPULSHEIMER

& co.,
whosesalc and retail dry goods merchants,
spared no pains in decorating the spaces al-
lotted to their exhibits with appropriate
goods of the richest patterns, the latter tirm
having on exhibition a miniature Mississippi
River steamboat, a very ingenious affair. It
was composed of so many different kinds of
goods that to be appreciated it must be seen.
BRH\V.‘\', iiAi.i. & co.

had a large exhibit of robes, blankets, and
other horse furnishing goods.

DREDICRICK Bxos. AND THE CHASE PIANO Co.
were not behindhand as far as musical in-
srriinients were concerned.

Ladies’ fancy work occupied a very promi-
nent position, as of course it ought t6, and
judging from the large amount on exhibition,
the ladies have by no means been idle during
the past year.

The art annex was well filled with exhibits
of pliotographs, paintings and curiosities.

Poinological Hall was sweet with the per-
fume of fruits and flowers, and while the ex
liibit was not the largest ever shown,for quali-
ty and excellence of individual varieties, it
has never been beaten.

Manufacturers’ Hall was full to overflow-
ing. The display of sporting goods by

Him. & co.
was enough to make any sportsman's mouth
water. There were stoves till you felt both
warm and hungry, and the merry hum of
sewing machines was heard on all sides, as
was the bakiiig—powder man with his his-
cuits. Berkey 8: Co., furniture dealers, the
Heap Earth Closet and Piano Stool Co., of
Muskegon, and the Story & Clark Organ
Co. all occupied prominent places.
THEGREENE HARDWARE Co.

also occupied a portion of this hall and at-
tracted special attention. This firm always
have something attractive on exhibition and
spare no pains to advertise their immense
stock of goods keptin their wholesahand re-
tail departments in the city. This year Mr.
Greene gave away ten thousand tin pails at
his stand in the hall. The rush to get one
of these pails was simply terrific and at last
the crowd became so dense that the handing
out of pails had to be stopped to prevent peo-
ple from being seriously injured. This firm
have the reputation of being the leading
hardware merchants of Western Michigan
and deserve the attention of every one wish-
ing articles in that line of goods.

Poultry Hall was more than full. Two
firms alone had on exhibition 360 Coops, com-
prising standard breeds of fowls of all sorts.
Then there were rabbits, doves, guinea pigs,
and pets of all sorts.

Occupyinga prominent place in Poultry
Hall was a new departure in its lirre—The
PatcntUnion Egg Preserver, shown by 0. VV.
Horton, of Grand Rapids. This machine at-
tracted attention because it preserves eggs
for any length of time without the use of
any liming, pickling, packing, or cold stor-
age process. The eggs are placed upon roll-
ers and by means of a crank the rollers are
made to revolve so as to turn the eggs half
way over. This done three times I week

prevents the yolk from settling to one side
and adhering to the shell, and the eggs are
kept perfectly fresh, as was shown by Mr.
Horton, who showed specimens that had been
on the machine for four months and which
could not be distinguished when cooked from
freshly laid eggs. Each machine is capable
of holding 20 dozen eggs and costs only
$1.50. County and township rights are for
sale by Mr. Horton.

The hall for farm products was well filled
considering the season with tine specimens.
The exhibit that attracted the most attention
this year, as in previous years, was that of
grains and grasses shown by Bro. David
Woodman, of Paw Paw. He has added
largely to his collection during the past year
and it is undoubtedly the finest in the State.
He occupied 45 feet on one side of the hall
from floor to ceiling. He has in all 428 sin-
gle exhibits,coniprising 50 varieties of wheat,
45 of oats, 50 of grasses, 20 of millet, ro of
barley. This exhibit
grown on the farm ofl’»ro. \\'oodinan and the
work of putting it up and arranging it was
done entirely by himself. Bro. Woodiiiaii
deserves the highest praise for the tasteful
and beautiful arrzingeinenl of his exhibit.

show of carriages and other running gear on
the grounds. Everything is warranted and
purchasers cannot but be pleased both as to
price and quality of goods. Everyone looked
for Dennison’s display and had no difficulty
in finding it.
Another firm from the city that occupied
by no meazis a back seat in this line was
BOY.\"l‘nN & ii.-ixes,
who exhibited from their stock of imple-
ments, windmills, pumps, etc. They have
the only windmill on exhibition that is put up
on a derrick and actually pumping water
from the ground. The Strait mill is a full
wheel, has double bearings, and is hung on a
double set of anti-friction rollers.';They han-
dle the celebrated Meyers pump which has a
double-acting cylinder and is capable of
throwing water 100 feet. These pumps were
in actual operation in wells on the grounds
and visitors could see that it was a good
thing. The Empire Steel Harvester and
Folding Binder is one of their specialties and
it isthe only perfect folding machine yet
placed on the market. it has a new binder
head and several new features that commend
it to the careful attention of farmers. The
firm also handle a full line of wagons, car-
riages and sleighs, also Nichols, Sliepard ti
Co.‘s celebrated threshers and engines, and
are bound to please all purchasers.
THE BIG INJUN,

the name of asulky plow manufactured by the
GAL}; MANUFACTURING co.,
of Albion, Mich., attracted the most atten-
tion of any single tool exhibited on the
grounds. The farmers of to-day are begin-
ning to realize that there is an easier and bet
werway of plowing than by means of the old
hand, walking plows. In the Big Iujun the
Gale Manufacturing Company have put on
the market a plow that stands pre-eminently
at the head of this class of implements. Car-
ried evenly on three wheels, it can be ad
justed to run perfectly level on any kind of
ground without raising or lowering the whole
wheel and axle. The team is hitched directly
to the steel beam, while the pole is attached
to the right front caster wheel, thus insuring
light draft and the greatest ease of handling.
The automatic, self operating lock for the
rear caster wheel, which unlocks as the pole
swings around the corner and locks again
when the plow straightens in the furrow, in-
sures the turning of a perfectly square cor-
ner nnd no handling of levers is required.
Anyone wishing to buy a sulky plow will re-
gret it if he does not first carefully examine
the Big Injun and see the many points in
which it excels all others. Having used
this plow, along with others, the writer of
this article has no hesitancy in saying that
the Big Injun is the best sulky plow on the
market. ‘_The Gale Manufacturing Co.’s
plows are known all over the United States
and farmers appreciate the fact that whatever
this company out on the market is first class
in every particular.

Another plow that attizicteil ritteiitioii was
exhibited by the

ST. j0llN PLOW co.,

of Kalamazoo, shown by W. T)(1\'CflpCll'i.
The agent was kept busy answering questions
put to him rcgztrding this new sort of plow.
It is either a riding or walking plow, simple
in construction, and everywhere purchasers
are well pleased with it. The price is so low
that the plow is within the reach of all.

The crowning exhibition of the Fair was
the show of live stock, all visitors voting it
by far the best that had ever appeared on the
grounds, betweeii 500 and 600 head being
shown. All the standard breeds were repre-
sented by herds from this and other states.
Among the many exhibitors some deserve
special mention for the excellent showing of

in their stalls when the premium stock was

fine wool fleece on ‘.1 mutton sheep and the

states and when any one wants a good ani
mal they are sure of getting it from Turner &

HORACE H. C-HILDS,

of Rockford, Mich., succeeded in carrying
away a number of prerriiuiiis on Shropshires
as is proved by the following list: 2d on
buck four years old, rst and 2d on buck
lambs, lst and 2d on ewe lambs, 3d on year-
lingr‘, and ist and 2d on two-year-olds and
over. His flock made a fine showing and
reflects credit on Mr. Childs as a breeder of
this noted mntton sheep. His sheep are either
directly imported or bred from imported
stock, his flock at present numbering 50 head
He also breeds Short Horn cattle and Nor

man horses. VVrite for prices.

Ayrshire cattle were very ably represented by
'r. E. WRIGHT,
of Middlebury, 0., who exhibited 13 head
and secured I2 premiums.

Jerseys were well represented although no
very large herds were entered. Short llorns
exceeded all other breeds as far as numbers
were concerned.

Hogs seemed to enjoy being looked at.
Suffolk and Yorkshire hogs predominated as
to numbers shown although there were good
showings of both Poland China and Essex.

Among the general exhibits that deserve
special mention was a group of monuments
manufactured by the

A.\iERlt.‘AN \vrri'rr-: BRONZE co.
and shown by ll. W. Green, of Grand Rap-
ids. The best monuments of all nations are
of metal and the advantages of metal over
stone are apparent to anyone who will stop
to consider the subject. Beautiful in design
and composed of a substance which time and
the action of the elements have no effect upon,
the buyer of a monument can not but be
pleased with white bronze. Buyers are so
well pleased with these monuments that it is
safe to conclude that the cemeteries of the fu-

ture will be liberally ilr:coi‘ateil with white
bronze inoiiunienfs.

stock on the grounds very appropriately
headed the procession in a bus drawn by a
prize yoke of Devon steersharnessed as horses,
with Westbrook Devine holding the ribbons.

That a man could “smile and smile and b.
avillain still" was proved by the fact that
many lost their pocketbooks in the dense
crowd. The day was taken up in awarding
premiums and as the sun went down the suc-
cessful ones went home with a satisfied look,
while those who did not “get there” were
berating the judges who, in their estimation,
didn’t know a good thing when they saw it.

Friday opened clear and somewhat chilly;
overcoats were in order. The attendance
was good although not so large as the day
before. The show of premium stock took
place in the afternoon on the race track, the
procession passing in review before Superin-
tendent Devine, who was mounted on an im-
inense Durham bull. Thursday afternoon ex-
Governor Alger was present and addressed a
few words to the crowd and Friday afternoon
Gov. Luce was present and made a few re-
marks.

The races during the Fair all passed off
pleasantly and were well patronized by those
who enjoy such things.

Take it all together, the Fair was the best
and most successful ever held by the West
Michigan Agricultural and Industrial Associa-
tion. Visitors were pleased with the Fair
and its management and returned home feel-
ing that they had had aprofitable and enjoy-
able time.

at the next Grange meeting to tell
what he saw that was either new to
him or of such value as to be worth
telling to those who did not go. It
will be likely to bring outadiscussion
of real value.

cuts in the several counties of the
State and an alllllltll delegate State con-

be made of social value. Correspond-
ents who have wives should take them
and this would add interest to the
meeting. In conclusion he said the
crop coi'i'espondeiice bureau had al-
ready accoiriplished much good; far-
mers are being educated and im proved
and are much better posted than they
used to be.

Hon. Thomas Mars, of Berrien Coun-
ty, coming around about this time,
was called to the starch box. As he is
the man who pushed the crop report
bill through the Senate, he was a
hearty endorser of its good intentions
and its good results. He said these
crop reports are read with interest at
Grange meetings and he had an abid-
ing faith in the system as a starter for
the possibilities of‘ good Lliat he hoped
would be developed.

George Peters, of Scio, gave some fig-
ures showing the world’s pr‘odui:f.ion
of wheat and took exception to the
stztfenierit so often made that there was
i1riovei‘produc-tioii. He alleged that
the woi'ld’s crop was less than two
bushels per cnpita and ch:ii'ge(l the low

he did not think in the struggle be-

they should take advantage of tlicir

your poetry.especiallythe poem on-
titled "The SouI’s lteproof.” I shall
coxumitit to mremory. But I do not
admire your criticism of Sister Mayo.
We presume she did not care though.
It is well it done in the right spirit
and at the right time. Your tribute
to Flora i11 tl1e Grange is so good, why
can not you set the muses to work and
give usa “Tribute to the Goddesses
Three,”—a something that we can
make use of in presenting each with
her emblem of ofiice? Accept gratitude
for past favors, but We beg for more
through the Vi.~11'ron. '

J. G. Parkhurst’s article in August
I5, on “Foreign Imm1gration,its His-
tory and how it affects the American
Farmer,” is deserving of a careful and
thoughtful readinor. This subject has
at last come to be a serious question
and a puzzle, and it is time that it be
considered.

I desire to extend my thanks for the
pleasure and benefits derived from all
of the contributors. AUNT KATE.

Tuesday and Wediiesdzly.

The wasliing cauie on I<‘rida_v even-
ing. I was glad that it liappeucd to
come when I was iii the house for I
rather Wanted to see Dora and Rose
check ofl the list.

I pass over i11 silence Dor:1.’s inter-
view with the w:1shcrwo111:n1. As soon
as she was gone Dora and Rose began
to divide up the clothes and arrange
them in bundles preparatory tocarrying
them away. \VI1en this was over and
Dora was on the point of seizing the
first bundle to carry it off, I suggested
the list; and D01-:1, as if this was the
moment. for which she had been wait-
ing all the week, said, “Yes, now is the
time to check 011'.” After some time
spent in searching, the list was found;
the clothes were re-assorted, this time
according to articles instead of accord-
ing to bureaus, and the work of
“checking of” began.

Rose took thelist, and in her most
ofiicial manner called out: “Eleven
baby’s aprons.” I don’t. say that Rose’s
manner was ofiicial, I merely say that
it was Rose’s most oflicial manner.
The fact is that Rose is artistic——and
gentle, and does not believe in woman’s
suffrage or the Prohibition party. But
this occasion demanded a business-like
air and Rose rose just as high as she
could toward the occasion.

“One, two, three, four, five, six,

uually, without manifesting half of
the above symptoms, result in c011-

disease is so common, more deceptive
and dangerous, or less understood, or
more unsuccessfully treated by physi-
cians. The manufacturers of Dr.
Sage’s Catarrh Remedy offer, in good
faith, a reward of $500 for a case of
this disease which they cannot cure.
The Remedy is sold by druggists, at
only 50 cents.

ka, show that “z11111nal growth is very
irregular, souletiuies sczircely percepti-
ble and again quite large,” and this he
attributes to the ditfereiice in seasons.
As trees iiicrease i11 age, inner rings de-
crease i11 size, sometimes almost. disap-
peariuu‘. Diminished rate of growth
after a ccrt.:1in age is a rule. Ul t'our
great beeches mentioned by London
there were three, each about 17 feet
i11 girth, whose ages were respectively
60, 102 and 200 years. Mr. Furras
found 12 rings iii a black locust 5 years
old, 21 rings iii a shell-bark hickory of
12 years, 10 rings in a pig-hickory of 7
years, 11 rings in awild crabapple of 5
years, and only 20 rings in a chestnut
oak of 24 years. A11 American chest-
nut oak of only 4 years had 9 rings,
while a peach tree of 8 years had only
5 rings.

On the Pacific coast of North
America trees do not reach the point
where they stop growing nearly as
early as those of the Atlantic coast.
Two hundred years is nearly the great-
est age attained on the eastern side of
the continent by trees that retain their
vigor, while 500 years is the case of
several species on the western coast,
and one writer is confident that a
sequoia which was measured was not
less than 2,376 years old. At Wrangle,
latitude 36 degrees 60 minutes, a west-
ern hemlock, 6 feet i11 dianieter at the
stump, was 2 feet i11 diameter 132 feet

farther up the trunk, and its rings
showed 432 years. But in the old
Bartram garden, near Philadelphia,
not more than ‘.50 years old, almost all
the trees are on the down grade. The
Que1'cusR0l1ar, E11gla11d’s pridc,whicI1
at home is said to live 1,000 years, has
grown to full size and died i11 this gar-
den, and the foreign spruce are tollow-
lug suit. Silver tirs planted i11 1500
are decaying. This great ditlerence in
the longevity of trees upon the west-
ern and eastern COIIHIS ot' continents in
the nortliern hemisplicre sceins to be
due to warm, moist air carried by
strong and permanent ocean currents
from the tropics 1101-tlieasterly. in both
the Pacific and Atlantic oceaxis, which
make the climate both inoist and equa-
ble i11 high latitlldes. In Sitka, lati-
tude 57 degree.-1, as much as 100 inclies
of rain have I:llI(',ll i11 :1 year, and the
l1:1rl1or is r:1rcly frozen enough to his-
der the passage of boats. In some
winters scarcely any ice is R(‘.(.’l).

frie11d,you say you have for years long-
ed for the free. independent life of the
farmer, but have never been able to get
enough money together to buy afarin.
But that isjust where you are mistak-
en. For several years you have been
drinking a good improved farm at the
rate of 100 square feetata gulp. Fig-
ure it out yourself, An acre of land
contains 43,560 square feet. Estima-
ting land at $43.56 per acre, you will
see that it is just one mill per square
foot, and one cent for ten square feet.
Now, pourdown the fiery dose and im-
agine you are swallowing a strawberry
patch. Call in five of your friends and
have them help you gulp down a five-
hundred-foot garden. Get on a pro.
longed spree, and see how long it re-
quires to swallow a p:1st11re large
enough to feed a cow—-twe11t.y cows.”

Peter Coller, who shows up “Wiley

letter from :1. gcritlcnidn, who is now at Fort
Scott where he has seen tlic process of reduc-
tion and says in :1. letter dated Septcnibcr 211:

“I can only say that I am delighted with
our results. W'cl1'.1vc made several strikes
and the sugar is all in the barrels from the
first. It _viel1'lv:d one hundred pounds of good
sugar per ton of cane worked. Last 11ight’s
.-trike of 32,000 pounds of mclada. will yield
fully 50 per cent. of its weight in sugar.
This is from 139 tons or cane."

 

Very good so far: but in :1 letter three days
ter-—Septenilier 5th—— he has this:

“We are succeeding beyond anything I
ever dremiicd of. We have already madc-
11-.'er50,oco potniils of sugar and not a single
strike has yielded less than 100 pounds of
sugar per ton of ca e, and the cane crop is
much below the average 011 account of the
tirougl‘-1.

We are of course, very happy over the re-
sult and I have now no longer any doubt of
attaiiiing completa success. Ihavc just pol-
arizeii some of the sugar from the first strike
of 9,000 pounds and it contains 97.9 per
cent. of sucrose. Really I feel so elated over
our Sl.ICCC‘is that I have almost forgotten past
failures. I am very sure that we will reach
a. yield of 125 pounds soon.

0111 machinary works splendidly and the
problem of cutting and cleaning the chips is
solved beyond apreadventure.

He laughs best who laughs last. I expect
the Commissioner here in a day or two.”

Well the Commissioner was there, as ex-
pected, and here is what our informant says
about the visit and what followed, the ac-
count is dated September 7th.

“We had 21 big blow outlast night in hon-
or of the success and Colman was with us.
He made a speech which will contra.-.1 slight-
ly (i’} with_that of Wiley. He could not
have taken a stronger position in favor of
so1'_;hun1. He is exceedingly zmiioycd at
V\ 1ley‘s remarks in New York and does not
hesitate to denounce him. Among other
things he said he hoped:-would give him
(a very naughty word which was justified
but is not suited to this latitude.

was misquoteil, and I hope you will bi: able
to shut him of? on that point. Wiley must
go. He is too great a hindrance to this
_;lo11'ousindustry,* * * In my opinion the
Commissioner wants but a good excuse to
’i0unce him. The Lord knows he will not
have far to go to find one.

We are still meeting with unprecedented
nucccss.”

Farewell, VViley. The mills of the Gods
grind slowly, but they have an everlasting
.-queeze when their work is full. Conimis—
sioner Colman fell from the faith and his fall
was very low but his day of grace, it seems,
is not wholly sinned away. It would give
him no sadness to bounce Wiley now for he
can have no further use as a prophet—

1101’, in fact, as a chemist, hostile to sorghum .

sugar production. Is the Commissioner
equal to the emergency? Will his zeal ex-
pend ilselfin naughty words? We shall see.

gave an address upon sorghum as asugar
producing plant, in New York, which was re
p0l'if‘(‘I in the Tribune of the 10th. In the
I“oi'1 Scott Monitor‘ of the 7th iiistaiit there
is an C.\'ICIlllt‘,kI report delivered by Commis-
sioner of Agriculture Colrnrtn at a banquet
held in honor of the success which has this
year ntlt-ndcd cxpcriiiii-nls in the produclioii
of sugar from sorgliiirii.

The many readers of the II1-‘S11/\i\'ll.\i.\i'\‘

gentleinzm; although it must be coiifcssed
that then: are, to say the least, Ct.‘1’l‘.‘li11 dis
crepzincies in their statements, which will
appear the more clearly by placing the ut-
terniices ofthese two officials of the Depart-
ment of Agriculture side by side.

I quote from the Tribune and the Moni-
tor.
Wiley: ~“Sorghum cane is notrich enough
in sugar to guarantee profitable production.”

Col1nnn:~“I know of noindustryin which
men can invest capital with more certain as-
surance of profit.”

Wiley:——“The average yield per acre is
not over eight tons of sorghum cane, rind
twenty pounds of sugar to the 1011."

Colmaii:-—“Sorghum wiil pay for cultiva-
tion with the price of the seed. An acre
will produce twelve tons of cone (ind :1 ton
will yield two bushels of seed. The works
(at l"ort Scott) are iimkiiig 100 pounds of
