By way of encouraging readers to report useful lessons of their ex- perience Colman’s Rural World says: “Farmers are too apt to keep their ideas to themselves and so if it is an erroneous one they continue to follow it at a loss pe1'haps for years, when if they would be more comnninicative they would get rid of these a11d get better ones instead. And if one has a good idea he should not be a1'rai11 to tell it to his neighbor. If one man can grow fifty bushels of corn to the acre by a certain 111odc of culture, while none of his neighbors can raise ove1' thirty by their methods, he does not injure himself in the least by telling how he does, but will, in- stead, benefit himself while he is benefiting his neighbors.” '-Q élommunications.

I\o\\ we ion 5 had great thinkers in every age who have read by the light of science. Plato read by such a light, and found, as he said, that man needed a ii.-odel higher than hiinsclt to go by—a superior being. But these modern savants know iiotliing superior to tlicmsclvcs, and their investigations. Like Adain.Bede they j iidgc everything by their own standard, and hence find nothing higher nor better than man. The idea of a God never dawns upon the mind of such mcn——they see nothiiig higher nor better than evo- lution, and this material earth. int.

But the here and now of our every day life to us seems dullaiid common-place and worth little. \\'hat.- we might have done in the past we regard with a certain fondiiess, what we might do in the future with eager anticipation, what we can do in the present with doubt and distrust. The feeling seems one of natiirc for at this inomcnt the thought comes to me, “(,)nce it would have been noetlort to have written this essay, at pres- ent it is :1 dread, at sonic future time, pcrliaps. it would hzl\‘c been mere plc:isur<-." There are few of ustlnit willingly take today by the hand and turn it to its proper use or pcrliaps we feel it. lias no available use at all, yet if we so frequently fail to liabituatc ourselves to the duties of the ino- inent, when tomorrow istodny shall we regai-i.l it as any better worth, or do any more wisely with the new posscssioni’ Yet we all know, or ought to know, that if we do any- thing with tomorrow, we inust be making ready today, for when to- inorrow comes rising over us it may be so lull of varous opportunities that if we have not our plans erect- ed we may fail to draw these oppor- tuuities to their intended use. ‘We are too apt to have that con- tempt for today, wh/icli we 1l:l.V(1._ fin‘ a1i_r.m.iimy- tinngs, and disregard its opportunities, just as we think we could have done so much better if we had been born in some other age, or had the opportunities some others, have or just as we are apt to think if we are poor that with wealth we could have sprung up- ward to untold wonders; or if we are rich, that perhaps poverty would have spurred us to a worthy exer- tion. \Ve delay the disagreeable duty, put off the laborious effort till to- morrow, and for what purpose"! Because tomorrow is another coun- try, an unknown region, and be- cause the person ot' tomorrow is quite another person from the per- son of today; so very much anoth- er that the peison ol' today saves himself all the difficulty and trou- ble possible by pushing it over to the person of tomorrow. It is only another form of that selfishness that we exhibit when we indulge ourselves in any pleasure of the present for which we know tomor- row will bring in aheavy price and penalty for us to pay. The person of today is to have the pleasure, and the person of tomorrow is to pay the bill. The present is all that we certainly have, and to let it slip by unimproved is to make ourselves so much the poorer, since the nio- meiits we improve are ours forever. But the moment we do not seize, do not improve, escapes us, never enriches us. The present is as safe as time, tomorrow is vague as eternity. Eternity may have its own use, we know nothing about it; it is among the infinite things, and we are among the finite. The uses of time we know well, and that one of them is to make ourselves complete for our course through that infinity. VVhat- ever the present be, whether the time to weep or for rejoicing, the time to love or the time to hate, it is only those that live in it that can do anything with it, and they who forget all its claims and live only in the future, live only to and for the future.

Mr. Depew may be a gentleman and a good business man; he may be a good financier, and earn his large salaries by his work for the Vanderbilts, whose father uttered the memorable words, “The public be.-—_——;” but, like Dog Tray, he is in bad company. The Granger ‘element knows that the roads he represents have two dollars of watered stock for every dollar really invested, and that the people are taxed to pay dividends on this watered stock. The Granger element knows that railroads have influenced legisla- tion, purchased voties, laws. and judicial decisions, that President Garfield said years ago, “The loco- motive is coming in Contact With our institutions.” The Granger element, by its State and National railroad laws, has said to corpora- tions, “ ‘Thus far shalt thou go and no further,’ in your oppression of the people, and in the abuse of the power the People have granted to you.” The Granger element is not opposed to railroads, but they 113 “Oppose the tyranny of monopolies. bers of any other calling or profes- sion, and we have faith to believe that, properly applied, the Grange will work out these results for the farmer and his family. Farmers of Massacliiisetts, and of the nation, you need our help, we need yours; separately we are helpless; united we have tremendous power to use for the rightand against the wrong. ‘Come thou with us and we will do thee good.’ In our Order ‘honesty is inculcated, education nurtured, teinperauce supported, a1i11 brother- ly love cultivated.’ Every other profession and calling is organized. Shall we remain a scattered host, the prey of all others, who, by united strength, seek to gain un- earned an1l undeserved profit by our toil?” Hiram Hawkins, Master of the Alabama State (11-ange, writes: “\Vc have been gaining grzuliially for some months past, about 11 hun- dred a inonth, so that now we are more than 11 thousand stronger than we were twelve months ago.” Henry Eshbaugh, of Missouri, a farmer, and Past Lecturer of the National Grange. is dead, but his good words live after him. “There is power in organization, and inasmuch as other classes are thoroughly organized to advance their own interests by co-operating together, is it not the height of folly for farmers to suppose for a moment that they can sustain themselves single handed in an unorganized condition’! They are simply at the mercy of organized power, and must yield obe1lie.iicc to the dicta- tions and demands of those who are organized, and pay the exacted tribute, just or unjust, as it may be, without recourse.

Congress- man McClan1n1y of North Carolina hits the nail squarely on the head when he speaks of the farmers as “this great host who have in their keeping every political possibility of this governnicnt.” This state- ment deserves to be kept constantly before the zigrieiiltural public. \Vhy’Z Because for years it has been asserted that farmers have no power, could not hold together, and coul1l not. accomplish anything. The fact is, the followers of agriculture could control every department of the governineut were it necessary. Fortuiiately it is not iiecessary, but it is iiiiperative that fariners -li-ave a just sense of their political i111po1‘111i1(*e, and see to it that their iiiterests do not s11li'er at the hands of State 11nd Natioii-.11 legislators. There is healthy iniprovciiieiit in this 1'esp1-ct, and the time is coming when fariners will be far more appreciated in every way than they are today.—~N. E. Homestead. Governor L111-.1-., of Michigan, Past l\I-aster of the State Grange, says of Grange work : “First of all we must seek the highest good of an Order that has before it such magnificeiit possibilities. Let each of us address to ourselves the honest inquiry, ‘What can I do to advance the iii- terest of the Or1ler in such a way as to contribute to the upbuilding of agriculture and the agricultur- ist?’ For rest assured that any course of policy that will accom- plish this adds to the prosperity and safety of the State. \Vhat can we do or say that will aid the cause of education? This is a theme that always attracts earnest attention at our annual gatheriiigs. It has been said, and is now 1-epeated, that edu- ,cation is the crowning glory of all 1 our work.

This is an age of progress, the like of which was never before known in the world’s Old conditions are liable o be disturbed by the innovation of something new, and so laborand capital, the poor and the rich, are in a condition of unrest. The presentation of all these tickets illustrates the unsettled cori- dition of the people. The two old ai-ties are struggling for the ad- ministration of the government, hat the interests of the whole peo- le may be promoted, while th other three are urging special re- orms for the salvatioii of the coun- try.

Leaving home by the morning rain and Kalamazoo at 10.30 we ad two hours between trains at Iarshall to attend to a little busi- ness matter and arrived at Detroit bout 5 p. m. on Thursday, July 12. At ten p. m. we left the City of the traits on the splendid steamer, City ofClevel-and and were awaken- d the next morning by the bells rid whistles of that business city. ’e commend this as a pleasant uniincr route to Cleveland. After a poor counter lunch at the price of »: good one, we took an early train on the N. Y., Penn. 85 O. R’y., for Mantua Station, 30 miles away. his was a trip of cousiiiing cov- ring 24 hours and was highly sat- 'sfac.t-ory. Here we found a pump- 'ng station on the pipe line from the oil fields of Pennsylvania to Cleve- and. These pumping stations are 0 miles apart, with pumping ma- liinery of sufficient power to driv - he oil through a seven inch pipe his whole distance. Five tanks 90 feet in diameter and 25 feet high, olding nearly 40 thousand barrels ~ each, situated some 15 rods apart for afety, are receptacles for the oil. “ The convey pipes are laid two fee below the surface of the earth. The cost of the immense machinery and fixtures at one station is bu a hint of the vastness of a system owned and operated by the closes a nd most powerful monopoly in this country. We returned to Cleveland the « n ext morning and had a couple of ours in that city. Too little fo any exploration of its varied and extensive industries.

The date made famous by the es- tablishment of civil government over the great north-west territory July 15--liappeningto fall on Sun- ay on this centennial year, ser- vices having marked reference to he event were held in all the churches of the city. As we were here to take part in the celebration ve started early to church in com- any with Senators Bclknap and Palmer of Michigan. Our brief acquaintance the day efore on the train with Mrs. Liv- ermore, and her national reputation, ttracted us to the Unitariah church where she was to preach. The large church was well filled, and it is sullicient to say here that our party were so well pleased with the sermon that the enators would be satisfied with nothing less than an introduction and a handshake with the distin- uished lady at the close of the ser- ices. The program called for services ‘n the centennial hall in the after- oon. This hall, as its name indi- cates, was erected for the occasion, nd was said to have a seating ca- acity of 6,000. Its large, elevated latform for the speakers, invited nests, and the music, must have accommodated not less than 600 eople. The building was chair- eated throughout, and the ar- angements good for a temporary uilding. The decoration was am- le. The stars and stripes were conspicuous here, there and every- where, while the flags of other na- tions, of full size, were not wanting.

VVhen the Elgiii band, with its more than 40 instruments, filled the hall within and the neighborhood without with its cultured noise, the scene was brilliant, the occasion in- spiring. The whole city, like the hall, was decked for the occasion, the like of which it had never before known, and intent on making history of which it should be proud. Huge, broad arches spanned the streets, clad in national colors and ever- greens in such profusion as to raise the question as to the source ofsup- ply. Over the doors and windows. from porch and gable of dwellings, offices and places of business, at- tached to awnings, trees and every available place, across streets and yards, everywhere, could be seen flags, big and little, and decorative devices of many forms, that testified to the general participation of the people in the woiik of giving im- portance to the event. Centennial hall was packed with listeinng, sweating humanity Suri- day afternoon, all eager to hear Father Gilmore, a Catholic Bishop from Cleveland. Outside we heard the following explanation of his presence: The occasion was to be an important one and each of the rev- erend gentlemen of the Protestant cliiirclies wanted the platform. As they failed to come to an agree- ment the committee invited Cleve- land’s Catholic Bishop to deliver the Sunday afternoon address, and the committee are to be congratula- ted on their choice. The address had such breadth and liberality as to comineml it to his hearers and elicit general applause. The thundering of 100 guns, with the cclioing vibrations from the iieighboring hillsides, introduced a bright centennial Monday morning. From every direction, by river and by rail, came people from the co1iii- try and neigliboring cities to wit- ness the parade advertised to start at 10 o'clock. Headed by the Gov- ernor, mounted on a fine steed, and followed by his staff, harnessed with such trappings as custom and the military service require—fol- lowed by the State and National troops, the famous Elgin band, all gave the parade a showy, attractive send-off, neat and noisy. Next came the commissioners and invited guests in hacks and carriages, fol- lowed by societies and organized industries of the city. The priiici- pal streets of the city were trav- ersed, long lines of people covering the sidewalks everywhere. Lest Harmar over the river should feel neglected, the long parade crossed the bridge and took a turn through its two principal streets. Return- ing to Marietta the grand parade dissolved in time to prepare for a square meal before the merry din- ner bell called to noon-day duty. Our party, consisting of Judge Cas- sody, of Wisconsin, and two Indiana lawyers, distinguished social gentle- men, representing quite an assort- ment of political opinion, were great- ly amused at a little incident that oc- curred as we drew on to the bridge to cross to ‘Harmar. In the thick of the crowd to our left, looming up above his fellows, stood a lank, hungry looking countryman, evi- dently not unfamiliar with inland navigation, for as we passed him his boiled-down opinion of the quality of our carriage found sudden ex- pression as he exclaimed, “That’s an awful nice dug-out—that is!” We were so well satisfied with the “dug-out,” as were also the Judge and our companions——the lawyers, that no exceptions were taken. We accounted for this unusual neglect on the part of the lawyers from the fact that a. chance for a fee by trial or appeal from the _cou_ntryman’s verdict was nowhere in sight.

Much interest and importance attach themselves to the experi- ments now iii progress on the sandy and heretofore almost worthless soils of Northern Michigan. The processes of cultivation and treat- ment that these lands are being subjected to by the best scientists of the State will be watched closely by individuals who own land of a like or similar nature, and who are not able to spare the time and ex- pence of experimenting for them- selves. In a bulletin sent out by Professor R. C. Kedzie, chemist of the experiment station, appears the following information: For many years I have given thought and study to this problem of the sands, and in lectures and articles called attention to the sub- ject. Many persons have aided and encouraged me in this investi- gation. The eifort has been made in our legislature to establish an experimental station on the plains. \Vlien the Hatch bill became a law it was felt that the time had come to take up this subject in a practi- cal way. A ]1‘ai-niers’ Institute had been held at Grayling, Crawford county, in which farming on the plains occupied most of the time and thought of those prcseiit. \Vhcii it was dctcriniiicd to estab- lish an experimental farm on the plains, the State Board of Agricul- ture fixed upon Grayling as the place, because it is in the heart of the jack pine lands, is readily ac- cessible by railway, is near a large deposit of marl, the people take a lively interest in the experimental work, and the Micliigaii Central railroad offered to donate 80 acres of_jack pine land for the experi- mental farm. THE i-1xi*i:i;i)i,i-:.\"i‘_—iI. iaiizii. The tract of land donated foi' this purpose is described as the west half of northeast qiiartcr of section ll, town 26, north of range three west. - It is chnractcristicallyjack pine plains, the timber being mostly piiius banksianna. jack pine, some scattering trees of Norway pine, scarlet oak (dwarf), huckleberrry bushes, dwarf cherry, sweet fern, trailing arbutiis, and many wild grasses (sedges). The ground is nearly level; the fire has run over most of it at frequent intervals, but the central part less than the north and south ends. The farm, both as to soil and the natural products growing on it, is considered a fair average of the jack pine plains. lt nearly touches the railroad at the southwest corner, and the experi- mental field of 20 acres at the south end of the farm adjoins the village of Grayling. This field is nearly ready for seeding. The entire farm is surrounded by a substantial board and barbed wire fence to exclude cattle. The fence is placed in the center of aten- foot strip of plowed ground to pre- vent the spreading of fire from outside sources to the farm. The central 40 acres is left substantially in original forest to test the effects of excluding stock and preventing fires. THE SOUTH EXPERIMENTAL FIELD. April 19, 1888, contracts were let for clearing and grubbing 20 acres on the south end of the farm, everything to be removed that would be in the way of the plow ; also to plow the field in a substan- tial manner to the depth of seven inches. After the ground was plowed it was harrowed with a spring-tooth sulky harrow. then rolled with a heavy roller, then again harrowed, the roots and trash raked into windrows with a spring-tooth sulky horse rake, which did the work very rapidly and satisfactorily. After burning the roots the process of rolling, dragging and root raking was re- peated till the ground was thorough- ly subdued and compacted. This mechanical treatment of the soil was considered very important from the conviction that the loose and porous condition of this soil is often the cause of failure in crops. On the last day of May and first of June the field was seeded by means of adisc roller drill. Twenty plats of one acre each were sepa- rately seeded. The plats run north and south in the field, being nearly four rods wide and a little more‘ than 40 rods long. The following diagram represents the position of the various plots, the kind of seed used and the fer- tilizer applied: pfcioiji. ‘—W ""1 ** G ~* ____J 4_..J.

The Little Things. "My, but that is tough,” said 11 geiitlenian near me once, as I was riding on the train. I looked 11p an1l noticed a bright, red dash, or smear, across one of his eyes like a gout of blood; it looked verybad, indeed. He was talking to :1 friend. “I got that by a little spark from the engine; it happened to fly in my eye, an1l I’m afraid I’ll never get over it.” Such a pity, I thought, for he was a fine looking man, just in the prime of life, too, and he must suffer likely for years, and perhaps lose his eye, all for that little spark. Most of us have noticed that it- is frequently the little things that are the 1loor-keepers, so to speak, into the unknown and the unalter- able. We may call them chance, or dispensations, or providence,—— sometimes we can do differ-ently, and sometimes, like the case of the man with the spark in his eye, they seem purely accidental. But the fact remains that the little things are of grave import-ance—they are so many in proportion to the big things. Did you ever think of it‘! Mosquitoes, for inst-.1nce,——the poor creatures that have to sleep with a blanket over their heads have mosquitoes on the brain,—tl1ey can’t help it. Who that has suf- fered the pangs of a jumping tooth- ache, caused by the inflamation of a little nerve, but will shiver at the very thought of it *2 It may seem a little thing, but when the start out of bed in the morning is good and early, and the nice, dry wood and kindling crowd the stove, how quickly is built up the good break- fast, and how well all our plans pan out that day. A good cook is a blessing to the family she lives in——sour bread and soggy pies cause n111re wicke1l feelings‘ well, there have been cra- zv folks and jail—birds made that way. Bad stomachs and livers need missionaries. My mother said I was a good baby. VVhy”! I was always well; she knew how t-o feed me. Wise and good mother as she Was, she did not disdain to see to little items that made up the daily food of her children. Let us then care for the little babies—bless their dear little hearts! "What a wreck on a moonless sea is the household that has lost one! VVhat a blessing is a healthy, good, little baby! , I was looking at my row of cur- rant bushes this morning. Thous- ands of tiny worms were chewing the soft, green leaves, and they all came from such little mites of eggs. Once I should have said, “My cur- rants must all go; ” but I now know that a sprinkle from the pepper- box of hellebore will rout them all. In short, do not the most of our ills and ails come from ignorance, or neglecting to attend to the lit- tle things? We may put our minds to t-rifles that are in them- selves too belittling for grown-up human beings.

Continuing the s11b_je1-t of last wcek’s letter, I will give a few points respecting wonien-‘s rights under several statutes, beginning with the PRE-I-Jl\IP’l‘IO1\.' LA\V. A widow or m-.1111 over 21 years of age is entitled to land upon com- pliance with the sratiitory require- ments i'espccting pre-eniptions. Full citizciiship is not :1 require- ment, declaration of intention be- ing all that is necessary in that re- spect. Any woman who is the head ofa 1'-aiiiily, though less than 21 years old, if ot-l1crwis1-. qualified, may se- cure land 11ii1lcr tlicsc laws. A married woman is not enti- tlcd to the right ofpre-ei11pt.ion. A single woman who inarries after filing her dcclaratory statement and befo1'c making proof and pay- ment, forfeits all rights as a pre- emptor and cannot acquire title to the land, though she and her hus- band continue to reside thereon. In the event of the death of a pre-eiiiptor before making proof and payment, the title may be per- fected by or for the benefit of the heirs. Ordinarily widows are not heirs, and cannot make final proof and payment for their own benefit. In some States widows are by stat- ute made heirs of their liusbiinds, ai11l where such is the case, should there be no other heirs, the widow niay perfect and enjoy the benefit of title to the land. Should tlicrc be sever-.11 heirs, the widow as one of them may perfect title for the benefit of all. \V11crc the State law allows the wi1low only 11 dowcr 1-igl1t—o1'lil‘c 1-st:1tc—i11 the prop- crty ofh1-11' 1lccc21scd husband, she cannot :1cquire title to his pre-emp- tion claim, but may, as giiardi-.111, make proof and payment for the benefit of minor heirs. UNDER THE ’I‘I1\IBI-JR-CULTURE LAWS Any unmarried woman over the age of 21, or any single woman Who is the head of a family, under that age, may enter and perfect title to land. No residence is required on tim- ber—cult11re entries, and marriage after initiating entry will not affect the rights of 11 woman to perfect title. The acts of cultivation, planting, etc., required by statute, may be done by an agent as well as by the entry-woman in person. THE DESERT LAND LAW Authorizes any woman, whet-her married or single, who is a citizen of the United States, or of requisite age, who may be entitled to and has filed her declaration of intention of become such citizen, to initiate entry and acquire title to land upon com- pliance with its requireinents. She may employ an agent to perform the acts necessary to reclaim the land as well as to perform the same hei-s1-.11‘. The wil'e’s right to take land under this law is not abridged or interfered with by reason of her husband having exercised the privi- leges extemlcd by the law.
