THE WATER SUPPLY

comes from a large spring in the
range of hills beyond the railroad,
38 feet above the level of the
grounds, and is carried in 5300
feet of six inch iron pipe. and
about 5000 feet of smaller pipe,
to distribute it to the numerous
buildings, where brass faucets at
frequent intervals, furnish a pure
and ample supply. A bright
pure stream runs between the
grounds and the railroad, indicat-
ing what the water must be at
the fountain head.

There is not much more to say
regarding this wonderful prepa-
ration for a mammoth fair. The
officers look like pleasant and
agreeable people, and we think
they are, and believe they will
make the grandest fair ever seen
in the state.

being part of his plan to espe-l
ciallyeInplIasi'/.<- the importanceof
local indications. It has been;
discovered during recent years-
while carrying forward the Sig-3
nal Service work. that the pre-i
dictions at Washington for the;
country in gcucI‘2I.l were not erpiall
to the special predictions made‘
at local centres. This was shown I
in the e.\'cellI-nt results acliievedi
by Sergeant Ii}. I5. Dunn, of New

iYork. and J. IV. Smith. of Bos-1

ton. The admirable local pre-i
dictions made by Mr. H. H. Clay- ‘
ton, of the Blue Hill Observa-l
tory—Mr. A. Lawrence Rotch,
director—-near Boston. Massa-
chusetts, also emphasize the im-
portance of these local stations.
Washington is merely the execu-
tive ofiice. New York and Bos-
ton are the most important sta-
tions for observation. owing to
their vast marine and commercial
interests and the widely diffused
suburban population affected by
the local weather forecasts for
these cities. The investigation
of local storms by the New
England Meterological Society—
Professor William M. Davis. di-
rector—has shown that a line of
rain a few miles in width, but
many miles in length may steadi
ly advance over an immense ex-
tent of territory. It is clear that
when the Weather Bureau has
increased the number of local
centres of weather prediction, the
approach of rain will be an-
nounced with such an improve-
ment in the verifications that the
results will be of great value.——

Land Loans and Fiat Money in
Argentina.

An interesting account is given
in the August Century of the fin-
ancial troubles in Argentina,
Which had their origin in a. vest
scheme of government loans upon
land closely analogous to the
land loaning plan of the farmers’
alliance. The experience of
Argentina is only a reduplica—
tion of the brilliant but short-
lived financlering of John Law,

industry at a standstill. Land

the bank treasuries were empty.
merchants were unable to meet

similar results would follow the
adoption of the scheme of gov-

a severe one, bought at the price
of national prosperity; Inust we

I know. They're jest hens like
all other hens. They may hev
some uptown name but if they
hev I don’t know it. All hens is
hens to me." What color are
they?" “All colors; I can‘t see
as the color makes any difference
when ye come to sell 'em. The
chick'n man ‘ll give as much for

We are standing at the end of
the Barnside dwelling, and when
we reached this point in the con-
versation a little woman catne
around the corner. I said she
was little; I mean she was short,
but one glance at her satisfied me
that she was fully 21. yard wide
and at that pai'ticular iiioiiient
about all wool. From her eyes
flickered the "light of other
days.“ and I noticed that the
judge suddenly became restive
and began to vigorously whittle
a shingle.
myself. She leaned back against
the house and. entirely ignoring
the judge. directed her remarks
to me. She began with the
weather. ran on to the crops,
fruit prospects. etc., gradually
workitig around to the point she
was aiming at-. The words slip-
ped off her tongue like butter off
a hot knife. and I soon perceived
that she was loaded for bear."

"Are you acquainted with Mrs.
Jones. over there?" she asked.
nodding her head in the direction
of the Jones residence. “No."
"Well, you ought to meet her.
She's one of the best business
women in the state. Shes areg-

you. an‘ shes making anice little
pile off her poultry this year.
Two years ago she had a lot of

you see in this yard, and J ones—~

Well you ought to get acquainted
with him. He's a farnier. he is.
and he’s niakin’ money right
along. As I was sayiir, he went
to a fair somewhere and bought
two fine, pure Plymouth Rock
roosters. He said he give eight
dollars for ‘em and I believe it,
‘cause he's an honorable man,

.Jones is. VVell, Mrs. Jones sold
off all her scrubby roosters an’
all her hens but 25 of the biggest,
an‘ she told me that the chickens
she raised last year weighed half
a pound more at three months old
than they did the year before at
the same age. What do you

spring they sold them two roost-

Need of Wheat Abroad.

In the last issue of Brad-
strect‘s a full page is devoted to
Europe's need of wheat-. the re-
sult of a special investigation by
Mr. \Vm. E. Bear. their London
correspondent. According to Mr.

.’>eai"s iiivestigtitioiis and calcu-
lations F.ii1'opc must import '_’Hl.—
00().000 bushels of wheat, of
wliicli India may perhaps fur-
nish:32l.()0tl.()(l0 bushels. leaving
the enornious quantity of 24H.‘
000.000 bushels to come from the
United States. and what Ur.
Bear terms “minor sources of
supply outside of Europe." He
estimates the surplus of the Uni-
ted States at l-H.000.00(). This
leaves l(l4.000.(_)(_)() to come from
these miscellaneous sources.
These are the broad summaries
in the case.

Russia’s shortage as compared
with 1890, is put down at 15 per
cent, that of France as 25 per
cent. The Austria-Hungary crop
is short about the same as that
of Russia. in per cent. but the
supply held over from last year
was about 8.000.000 above the
average. fortunately. Roumania
is thought to have a good crop,
nearly equal to last year. and the
same is the report from both Bul-
garia and Servia. In Germany
the acreage is small, and the
yield light. The shortage there
is about 15 per cent, and in Italy
nearly as great. but not quite.
Portugal makes a good showing:
Spain a poor one. The other
countries of Europe are short,
but no percentages on them are
given. Australia, the Argentine
Republic. Chili, Asia Minor and
Canada are yet to be heard from,
and right on the heels of this
comes the report that the ex-
cessively hot weather has injured
the wheat crop in North Dakota
and Minnesota. it having caught
the ripening grain at a critical
time, when it was in the milk,
and blighted it badly. It is es-
timated that the shrinkage in
the yield in North Dakota will be
fully ten bushels to the acre, and
about 5 per cent in that portion
of Minnesota affected by the hot
wave, while the deterioration in

ens are weighin’ a full pound

and keep the wheels well pain ted,
and that is the end of the mat-
ter. One wagon has been in use
some ‘_‘0 years. It has worn out
one set of tires. but none have
ever got loose. The wheels are
as good almost as ever. In fact
a straiigei‘ would think them al-
most new. Not even a new spoke
has ever been put in. This care
pays. No water can ever get to
the wood. It is consequently al-
most everlasting. The cost of
taking care of them in time is
not a tenth of the cost of repairs.
I was at the shop yesterday when
a fariiier took away two wheels
that had bt-oii there for repairs.
They had put in five new spokes
and new rims. and set the tires of
course. and the charge was $33.05.

harvest festivals are excellent in
their way, but could be made
still more effective as Grange re-
vivals. Here is a chance for
great good to be accomplished at
small expense. The farmers‘ al-
liance in the south and westfully
appreciates this feature, and the
alliance revival iiicetiiigs now be-
ing held are the largest and most
enthusiastic gatlieriiigs of the
kind ever seen. While these re-
vivals can be useful when coii-
ducted by the iniioii of a few
Granges or alliances the more ef-
fective and enthusiasm creating
affair is for the state body or the
organization in several counties
to unite in a grand rally at which

"Well. it takes the Grange

it showed no little amount of

"It was a bright Chicago boy

"Walking and talking? Well,
yes! Everywhere. badged and

“There have been successful

never one more so than yester-

"Grange Day at Chautauqua

kept arriving. It came by every

conveyance except that provided

horseback. It wandered every-

try. They all see that agriculture
is the foundation upon which, to
a great extent. all others depend.
\Vhen the farmer pi'ospei's there
is general prosperity, when he
inects with reverses and disap-
pointments. we may look for hard
times. It is, therefore. very im-
portant that he be properly pro-
tected and his interests promoted.
But the farmers have waited for
some one else to do this. They
have waited many years and they
have been disappointed. The iii-
terest of themselves and others
have suffered because of this neg-
lect. But the farmers have
finally concluded to do the work
themselves! to so arrange their
forces that they may accomplish
more in this direction than ever
in the past. They realize that it
is necessary to make their power
available through organization.
We have represented here one of
the oldest fariners‘ organizations
in the country: it has been in
operation nearly a quarter of a
century: and it is safe to say that
it has done more for its members
than any other farmers’ organ-
ization in the country."

Bishop Vincent. the originator
and honored founder of the
Chautauqua "idea." gave the ad-
dress of welcome inmost eloquent
words, full of good Grange senti-
ment. The reply was by Bro.
Goff, Secretary of the New York
State Grange, after which came
the Lecturer of the National
Grange. Bro. Rhone had been
announced as one of the speakers
and much regret was expressed
that at the last moment he was
prevented from being present.

Pennsylvania sent a good dele-
gation froin Crawford, Erie and
Warren counties. among whom
were Bros. Kenedy. Tuckey.
Olmstead and Cutshall.

It was a sight long to be re-
membered to see the dozens of

another, up to the wharf with
bands playing and loaded down

all wearing the badge
of membership being admitted
free. while others had to pay the
usual admission fee.

It is a good thing that such an
organization as the Grange can
strike hands with Chautauquans
in the work they have to do. That
these two great organizations,
working side by side on the same
lines should come together to
counsel together, learn of each
other. gives new hope for the
future. If Chautauqua means
any one thing in one word that
word is education; and if the
Grange over our great country
means one thing in one word that
word is education, Side by side
then let these two great organiza-
tions go forward in their grand
mission of developing a better

there are instances of grasping

ones. although they are easy to

the dissatisfactions have grown
mainly out of inexperience and ig-
norance of each other's ways. The

{such as they know will make de-

lsirable members to join the Or-
der. The number of charter
members may sometimes be con-
‘ sidered by the Deputy as encour-
aging; but an undesirable member
lis an untold injury to the pro-
gress of the Grange. It is more
lnecessary to guard against tak-
ling in such members as would be
llikely to stir up strife and con-
ltention than to stand aloof from
‘those we regard as belonging to
,a low class because of poverty
lcaused by drunkenness or some
I other crime.
Ezen we need to make up the
l,Grange, but if we entirely des-
lpise the lowly we are losing an
{opportunity of doing good.

It is safe to say that one citizen
capable of making a good officer
or member will have more influ-
ence in conducting the meetings
than three or four of the lower
class who, as a rule, go for infor-
mation. The moral standing of
the Grange can be kept up by a
few upright men and women if
they only consider how necessary
it is to keep up our reputation.
It is certainly more humiliating
to persons who regard their
church vows to know that the
Grange encourages public dances
than it would be for them to give
the hand of fellowship to one
who is known to drink or do
something despicable. If we are
to have whole-hearted service
from all our members we must
endeavor to keep the reputation
of our Order up to the highest
possible standard. How can we

Wheat Meeting.
REPORT or THE VOLINIA FARM-
ERS’ CLUB. CASS COUNTY.

The annual wheat meeting of
the Volinia Farmers‘ Club was
held at Town Hall on Wednes-
day. Aug. 19. This is one of the
oldest clubs in the state. and has
arranged regularly each year to
hold a meeting near the middle
of August to discuss every phase
of the wheat problem. from the
prepa-ration of the soil to the
probable price of the harvested
product. To this meeting come
prominent farmers from several
miles around from adjoining
counties. Probably no locality
in the state can gather together
a greater number of prominent
wheat growers than meet every
year at Volinia Town Hall to dis-
cuss this important question.
New varieties are shown. both
in the straw and in the cleaned
grain. and the qualities and pecu-
lia-rties of growth are explained
and commented upon. Much valu-
able knowledge is gathered by
this interchange of information.

The editor of the Visrron had
been invited to make the opening
address. He used substantially
the arguments that have been
published in this paper to show
that wheat production for the
future has a more favorable out
look than for many years past.
That prices for the present crop
depend largely upon the farmers
themselves. That both statistics
and prognostication point to an
era of greater agricultural pros-
perity, and that failures, if any,
must come to those who have been
offering the farmer's wheat for
less than he is willing to sell

it—-if disaster comes it will an‘

upon those who are selling
other people's property without
their consent.
PREPARATION OF SOIL.

Hon. M. J. Gard opened this
topic by saying that the most
important preparation. was to
begin some time before we start
the plow, by having the field in
good condition for seed. He did
not think it worth while to pre-
pare poor soil for any crop. The
belief that we are entering upon
an era of more prosperous times
should not stimulate to over-pro-
duction. Only such fields should
be sown to wheat as will give
fair returns for the labor and
seed. Plowing the land he con-
sidered the most important part
of the operation. No absolute
rule could be laid down as to
depth, time to plow, or the man-
ner of proceeding. The time for

iplowing is not so inportant. He (ler. Good wheat will produce i bitter this season 1‘
would as soon have a clover sod two tons of straw per acre: from  i”15“'C'1'-
plowed fresh and sowed at once. thirty-two acres he took $70.00;
as to have it plowed long before. in cash for the straw. and that 

Deep and shallow plowing have
different meanings with different
individuals. On a stiff and deep

7 soil he would not plow more than

six inces. and on soils of poorer
quality. four or five inches is bet-
ter. He would not want any land
plowed more than six inches
deep. He would not use a culti-
vator or spring-tooth harrow un-
less there was a stiff sod. or rains
had packed the earth, or grass

a fine tooth harrow constantly.
Wheat starves to death in a loose
soil. He would sow from the
loth to the ;’.'»th of September.
according to circumstances. He
had used three kinds of drills
and most of them are likely to
get the seed in too deep. Three-
fourths to an inch is deep enough
for wheat. The drill he has set-
tled upon is the Dowagiac Shoe
Drill. The drills are six inches
apart and it has the best force
feed of any of them.

Mr. N. B. Goodenough brought
up the question as to wheat
straw. He said the fires at night
in every direction indicated that
not so much value was placed
upon straw as he thought it
merited.

E. A. Wildey believed that
wheat straw was about equal to
the cost of the labor of putting
in the wheat and threshing it.
He uses it largely for bedding
sheep pens. He can fatten sheep
very profitably on straw and corn
with the grain at 40 cents per
bushel, Straw spread upon land
and plowed under for beans i11-
creascd the yield. and the clover
was better there when sown on
the wheat which followed the
beans.

M. J. Gard did not favor spread-
ing straw to plow under; the most
economical use it can be put
is to burn it, especially after the
wants of the farm for this mate-
rial are supplied. He always
found the wheat larger where the
stubble and straw were burned.

E. T. Reed believed it was the
greatest mistake a farmer could
make to burn his straw. He pre-
ferred to bale it and sell it. He
had baled and shipped over 3.000
tons. and has never shipped a
ton that did not net him $‘_’.()(‘)
and has received as high as $6.00
per ton.

J. Huff was a firm believer in
burning straw, and believed it
benefitted the soil to the value of
$2.00 per ton. When straw is
burned all we lose is what goes
up in smoke. He thinks it worth
more to burn on his land than to
plow under.

B. Hathaway: Both theory and
practice is against burning straw.
The elements that are all import-
ant are all destroyed by burning.
Those who burn straw have large
acres in wheat and little stock.
The smaller the farm the more
need to keep stock and to utilize
the straw. He wished to protest
against the practice.

L. B. Lawrence questioned
Whether. in practice, the straw
could be spread again on the
land and plowed under at a. profit.
If a header could be used and
only take the grain off the field,
then the straw might possibly be
plowed under profitably; but the
cost of distributing the straw is
too great. It takes too long to
rot down a stack of straw, and
he didn’t believe it paid to haul
it out, then clover was a great
deal cheaper; $5.00 worth of
clover would go farther and
serve a better purpose than that
amount of labor hauling manure.

E. T. Reed would not spread
straw on the ground to plow un-

better than burning.
There was some talk upon vari-
eties and their adaptedness to

different soils and the obligations ; _
’ leaved plantain and

farmers are under to raise. such
varieties as are in most demand

Seeds

from heavy to light soils and

Regarding insect enemies Mr.
Reed thought there was no better
way to get rid of the fly than to
starve them out. If we have
sense enough to delay sowing
until after frosts. there would be
no trouble. as no volunteer
growth had appeared in stubble
fields on account of drouths

The question as to whether the
fly was more likely to work in
fields stubbled in was not satis-
factorily answered. The editor's
opinion is that where damage
from the fly is local the field in-
jured by fiy this season would be

not in wheat this season; but
where the fly is general in ap-
pearance. it indicates that they
are widely scattered over all
fields and none would be exempt.

Mr. Gard had found the eggs
of the Hessian fiy in timothy,
quack grass and in oats.

N. B. (loodenough exhibited
several new varieties of wheat in
the straw. The "Red Clawson,"
“Golden Cross" and “Poole"
were most satisfacto}‘y in his
estimation.

H. S. Chapman showed a va-
riety called gV_aughan‘s hybrid.
which yielded, by weight. 40
bushels to the acre. It weighs
by the tester (33 lbs. to the bushel.
It is a red chaff wheat. with short
beards. It harvests and handles
well; straw is large but stands
up. It had no smut. He sowed
a little less than a bushel and a
peck to the acre.

H. S. Rodgers saw the wheat
growing and thought it the finest
field of wheat he ever saw.

L. B. Lawrence, on the ques-
tion of marketing wheat, be-
lieved that farmers were never
better posted upon the markets
than now. There is no reason
why any farmer should take less
than a dollar for his wheat. He
would not take the responsibility
to say when the farmer should
sell; but when wheat brings a
dollar. and that pays a fair profit
on the labor and investment, itis
a good time to sell. In looking
over his sales for several years
he finds that in August and Sep-
tember he has realized the best
prices for the year on the aver
age. all things considered. A
man is warranted in holding on
to a product when it does not
bring paying prices. To a ban-
tering question as to what he
would take for his crop, he
offered to sell 3.000 bushels at
a dollar. He reported that wheat
sold in Decatur. on contract, on
Monday, the 17th of August, at
half a cent above a dollar.

The meeting was a success and
B. G, Buell, as president, and H.
S. Rodgers, as secretary, deserve
great credit for their efforts to
sustain the organization.

ED. VISITOR: I wish to find

but has been extensively natural-
ized. It is common by the road-
side and in lawns and old pas-
tures. It is not the worst plant
known to the farmer. lts worst
feature is that mentioned t1i)<)\‘o ,
it injures the selling and pur—i
chasing value of clover set.-(l, as;
it cannot be separated when har- 
vested together. It is worst in}
old fields. or those that have been
seeded longest. and the only way 1
to get rid of it is to plow for corn
and follow with either corn again
or beans. so as to have two hood
or cultivated crops to follow each
other. This will destroy what
seeds may lie over in the bottom
of the furrow at first plowing. if
the second plowing is a little
deeper than the first. so that all
the seeds may be brought to the
surface and killed by cultivation.
Probably, if a. field in which
buckhorn has got well estab-
lished, is plowed this fall for
wheat. the seeds will not appear
until it is plowed again. and if
then it is planted to c.orn the
seeds will be destroyed.

The next question, the VIsl'1‘o1t
is free to acknowledge. is harder
to reply to.although almost every
agricultural paper will assume
to glibly answer it by recom-
mending plowing at a certain
time. or mowing them down when
the stalk is hollow. just before a
rain: but the serious fact remains
that the thistles will persist in
growing after such authoritative
measures for their destruction
have been applied.

There are some "moon" le-
gends about cutting thistles,
extant in almost every neighbor-
hood. that werc “dead shots“
down in York State or Ohio.
Those we hope our friend is not
credulous enough to try.

Canada thistles can be killed.
there is no question about that.
but it depends upon the limita-
tions of the farmer's time and the
effectiveness of his methods. If
the tops are kept constantly
shaved off they will eventually
“give up the ghost." A small
patch. on a square rod or so. is
readily killed in this way. VVe
have subdued them by persist-
ently kicking off the tops with
the heel of the boot, where only
a few appeared, by going that
way every time we crossed the
field. There is a good deal of
satisfaction in that kind of “ kick-
ing.” But we have seen fields
of thistles that we never could
have mustered energy enough to
attack by this method. If the
thistles are widely scattered over
the farm the most practical way
of getting rid of them is to
emigrate.but if only an acre or so
is infected, it will pay to put the
field in corn, then “go for them”
all summer with hoe and heel
every time a sprout appears.

The last question has been re-
ferred to our "bee man," who is
authority on most every point in
bee culture, and he either don’t
want to. or can’t answer it. Our
correspondent is not alone in his
dilemma. There is a plenty of
good company all over the state.
Honey is said to be of poor qual-
ity, and it is feared that it is too
foul to winter the bees on suc-
cessfully. Our bee man advises
to extract the poor honey and

honey. the main one is the dry

weather that has compelled bees

to feed on cveryfhing that might
do fora substitute for the nectar
of llowers which the drouth has
prevented. Then there is the
honey dew and insect sc('1‘ctio11
theory. Our correspondent will

from places where no state in-

Supposed.

In view of the possible holding
of wheat by farincrs until an ad-
vance should bo compelled. tln-re
is a good deal of adverse criti-
cism in the public press regard-
ingit. The ol)joetors make no
valid argument against it. We
will suppose that wheat is ad-
vanced 25 cents on every bushel
because of this holding back. and
that for every »$.'»()() which has
usually come to the farmer for
the sale of his products. he gets
an extra $125. Is it supposed
that he will put this in an old
stocking and hide it? or is it not
a supposable case that he needs
just about this amount for the
purchase of articles for himself
or for his family. which he has
been denying himself for years?
Suppose the merchant, and the
clothes dealer. and the furniture
man. and the harness maker. and
so on through the list. get a

share of this extra money, what
reason is there for growling about
it? If farmers don't hold the
wheat speculators will, and they,
next summer, will go to Europe
to spend their profits. or pile it
up in 20-story buildings in the
cities. We have been so verdant
as to suppose that it would be
better for everybody that the pe-
culiar advantage which is evi-
dently favoring American farm-
ers, should inure to their especial
benefit. and we are very 10th to
give up the belief.

 

In speaking of farmers’ organ
izations and their grappling with
economic and financial questions

Market Report and Indicationsl

Thre has been little change in
the live stock markets during the
past two weeks, but that little
has been of a downward charac-
ter. The receipts at the prin-
cipal market places average
about 80 per cent. of last year s
receipts: consequently there can-
not be any great reduction in
prices. Cattle-feeders should not i
be disheartened. as they cannot
fail to bring good prices the sea-
son through. but do not ship
them unless they are in good
condition. The rains will have
the effect of still farther decreas-
ing the receipts by briglitening
up the pastures. and they will
gain faster in flesh when the fly
season is over.

The hog market has suffered a
decline of :20 to 255 cts per cwt.. with
a still greater decline in prospect
in all poor grades. Farniers
should bear in mind that it costs
no more to sell a fat hog than a
poor one, and the freight is the
same per cwt.. but the shrinkage
(which is the greatest item in
shipping stock to market) is as
five to eight in favor of the fleshy
hog. It would seem to be a waste
of money to send hogs to market
weighing 150 to 175 lbs. when
they have the frame for 250 lbs.
When the corn crop is nearly
ready to feed better sell some of
the extra live stock off and give
the remainder a better show.

The receipts of sheep are such
as can be easily absorbed, and are
bringing steady prices. Chicago
receives a number of fed sheep
that bring remunerative prices.
Lambs are nearly  per cwt.
lower than a year ago.

Mr. Geo. E. Brock. of the "Wil-
lows Stock Farm," Paw Paw.
Mich.. returned from England on
the 21st of August, bringing with
him 260 yearling Sliropshires.
of which 50 are rams and 210
ewes. His sheep are now quar-
antined at Quebec. and will ar-
rive at Paw Paw Sept. 25. An in-
spection of the flock is respect-
fully solicited.

We believe that no better
Shropsliires have been imported
at any time. and among them are
the 60 yearling ewes purchased
of T. S. Minton. which he had
reserved for his annual auction
sale. which is now world—renown-
ed for good Shropshires. At Mr.
Mintons sale in lr<‘..l() the ewes av-
eraged  per head. and Mr.
Minton believes that he is im-
proving his flock each successive
year. and that these are better
than last year's ewes.

The importation includes some
choice show sheep and a large
number of ewes worthy to found
flocks equal to the best. Indeed.
breeders who cannot find what
they want in this importation
will be hard to satisfy. Thirty
of these rains and 130 ewes will
be immediately placed for private
sale, and 20 rams and H0 ewes
will be reserved for the auction
sale at “The Willows” Sept. 2%).
in which Mr. Eugene Fifield. of
Bay City, will join with 100 im-
ported and American bred sheep.
making a sale of 200 Shropshires
to the highest bidder. Farmers
contemplating purchasing Shrop-
shires this fall should not miss
this opportunity for seeing and
buying first-class sheep.

A Remedy for Decline.

Property and business invest-
ments in growing cities and towns
have increased in 10 years 25 per
cent. With a net valuation on
this increase and only a reduction
in the value of farm lands. it is
easy to figure that farm property
is paying double its just shares
of taxes. The business men can
put $5,000 to $15,000 into his
business and no notice is taken
of it by assessors. But if the
farmer put new shingles on his
house he is taxed for it. Remedy
for this alarming condition is the
reversal of the courses which
have brought it about. Money
must be kept at home and in the
towns where it is made. Invest-
ment in farm enterprise must be
promoted. Agriculture must be
fostered by the states, discrimina-
tion in taxation must be used and
public sentiment c orrected.
Home advantages should be
written up, talked up. taught up
and posted up, and Western
bubbles blow up and the children
brought up with an appreciation
of our home surroundings.—L.

people: but surely there need be
no apprehension of that. as cer-
tainly there is no danger. Any
capitalist. orcombination of such.
would be weak—yes. worse than
weak—to make the effort to stand
between the people and their
rights. and I am quite sure that
few honest and intelligent citizens
fear any such combination. To
be sure. there are deinagogues
who cry “i\Ionopoly'.“ and assert
that the great corporations are
about to override the liberties of
the people: but solicitude for the
people is not the real reason of
their outcry. It is because they
hope to climb up on the noise
they make into high places. and
into seats that they are not worthy
of and have not the ability to fill.

generally returning to their first
love. the non-partisan Grange.
Upon a careful review of- the

is a well establishd organization

respected and honored the world
over. numbering among its ad-
herents many of the brightest
minds and intellects that the
country ever produced. They find.
also. that the Grange has already
accomplished great things for
agriculture. more than all other
societies put together, and some
of the things claimed to have
been accomplished by the new
societies are in fact the result of
Grange influence. The success-
ful, practical, enterprising. re-
liable farmers generally are say-
ing that the Grange is a good
enough organization for them
and all that is needed. They have
confidence in it and mean to stand
by it. They are losing confidence
in the project of carrying their
grievances into politics and say

that thus far the experiment has

been very unsatisfactory. Leg-

islators elected by the newfangled
orders have been juggled into the
old parties and have been used by
them for the promotion of the
basest of partisan schemes, and

sometimes to the direct disadvan-
tage of agriculture.

One reason for taking this method

their families to the beach or to
the mountains thinking to visit

What the Grange Is.

What has the ('il‘2tll{,’f(‘. done?
some ask. To enumerate all the
good thing the Grange has done
for farmers would fill a volume.
The great drawback to farming
as a business is the isolation of
the farmers. I will 11ot eiilarge
on this. l<‘ariners know all about
it. To get together. to sliakc
hands. to talk niattcrs over. coni-
pare notes. and give to each the
wisdom of all. and thus prepare
the way for united action was. of
all things, the niost important
work. "Fa1'1i1crs will not iiiiite;
they are not susceptible of organ-
isation: men in all other branches
of business ca1i come together
and work uuitedly for their coni-
mon interest, but fariners cannot.
Farmers are shy of each other.
Their individuality is so great. it
is impossible for them to organize
for the protection and further-
ance of their common interest.
It would seem that between the
farmer and his neighbor there
was a partition wall." This has
been the state of things. but the
Grange has broke down that
partition wall and brought farm-
ers together. Wherever I have
been in seven States during the
last two years I have found
Patrons enough to come together
and form a nucleus around which
others gathered. Without the
Grange the formation of the
Milk Union and Farmers’ League
would have been impossible.
They are children of the Grange.
From what I see of its workers.
my love for the Grange grows
warmer every month. Give up
the Grange‘? Neglect the Grange?
Rather push the work of extend-
ing it with greater vigor than
ever. It is the mother of the
League, Alliance, and all kindred
farmers associations. and all need
her maternal watch~care.——

Farmers’ National League, in

Extract from a speech liy John
Trimble. Secretary of National
Grange. at Williams Grove. Penn:

" If Patrons will pause to con-
sider that all human legislation
must be only the ratification by
the constituted authorities of
rights already existing. plainly
asserted and earnestly contended
for, they will “thank God” for
the gain made in the past and the
results achieved. and “take cour-
age” for the work yet to be done
Moreover, if patrons will consider
that this Nation is yet largely
agricultural, and must remain so
for one or two generations to
come. it will be seen that the
power of creating “the consti-
tuted authorities” is very largely
in the hands of the farmers at
home in their own districts. and
that if this little everyday re-
sponsibility were strictly ac-
knowledged and accepted by the
people most interested,- there
would be no call for a “third
party” in politics. We should
control both parties as they
stand, and compel both to put
our plank in their platform.

vere, than the saying. “All they

Last year the Alliance and the
Farniers’ League had a wonder-
ful growth which of course had a
marked influence in calling the
attention of farmers from the
Grange and retarding its growth.
Yet notwithstanding these ad-
verse circiiinstaiices the (,2 range
made a much larger gain in mem-
bership than in former years. and
what is noticeable it has con-
tinued to grow and there is a
certainty that the increase in
1ne111b(-rship the. present _v<-ar
will be nearly or quite double
that ol’ last year. lllinois alone
has gaiiu-dover?1,l)(l0du1'i11g the
past six months and expects to
make the number 10.000 bcl'o1'c
the close of the year. while o1i
the other hand the Alliancc and
the League have not only stopped
growing but the t1io111bcrsl11p is
fast decreasing. -(lraiigc llonics.

Judge Boice, of Oregon. in a
late address. said. “Without
doubt the Grange may justly
claim the honor of having con-
tributed largely to the creation
of an independent public senti-
ment among the people. which
has done much to diminish the
power of political and corporate
rings, which have become a dan-
gerous element in the politics of
our country, corrupting the pub-
lic service and even threatening
the government and the liberty of
its citizens."

The followittg was read at an institute held at
Richford.;
While a child itt tlte old village church I was
taught
How the wonderful gift of salvation was bought;
That all who do right were rewarded at last
No matter what nation, what age, sex or caste.
At school, too, I learned that wortlt was the test,
The prizes were passed to the one tltat wrought
best.
Those bright, ltappy school days were overatlast,
\Vhile up to the rank of a teacher I passed;
Tltere I found 'twas brain that decided ottr grade,
And supposed that accordingly all would he paid:
But I found that ‘twas breccltcs that issued the

THE DIVINE AND THE HUMAN‘
SPIRIT AND IVIATTER —— FAITH
AND VVORKS —- POSITIVE AND
NEGATIVE.

A single human being is said
to be an epitome of the whole
universe of humanity. As one
drop of water out of the ocean
is made up of all the elements
which compose the entire ocean
(differing only in quantity), so
each individual, out of the great
immensity of all life, contains in
extreme minutia all the compo-
nent parts of the great whole,

tlilfu-1'ing only in tho combinzt-T
I tions of the forces and activities

,wl’ti<:lt make up the sum of all,
;life. In these combinations wel
.witne;s‘s all kinds. grades. and‘
£shades of manifestations. with

no two exactly alike. Each one

is opera.-ting the same law, choos-

ing from the same inexhaustible

supply, the material best adapt-

ed to perfect the machinery by
which to work to best advantage
in the one universal field.

When we come to understand
thoroughly that all is one— all
we know or can conceive of; all
one great. grand. complete.
round whole-—we shall have ta-

ken :1 long stride toward the nuts-

ti-ry of tttttrty difticultics whichi
we now find itt our way. Tlterel
:is no .s't‘1>1ll'iJ.lU itttt,-1'es‘t. All off,
jc:t1‘t.lt.zttt' and sun: all of s'urt.t
‘tttoon and .~;t2tt's: all of ‘.\'o1'l<ls',‘
and syst:-tits of worlds‘: all of’
good and S<.‘LlIlll'lg‘ ill: all of the-

tine and the cotttzse; of the spit‘-

itual and tttzttoriul; of poem and

prose: all. u// is linked in one‘
strong bond of uttion. The fo-

vcretl pul.s'c-bcttts of woe and

the glad music of joy alike thrill

througlt the whole. ttnd awaken

respottsive echoes.

No man livcthto himself alone.
Linked in one insepztmtblc broth-
erhood we caclt. to the best of
our ability, work at the thing our
ltzmds find to do. to help operate
tin: wonderful ttttu,-ltit't(3t‘y of the
whole.

Wt: are all ;\lttt'y.~; and all Mur-
tlnts. We all have itt our make-
ttp that wltich strives to choose
the better part, as we utttlerstantl
it. whiclt shall not be tztkcn from
us. And we nll.it1 our lack of
knowlcdgt-.. are cztrefttl and troub-
led about the details of ottr daily
living.

The lt-sson of wisdom is to
combine. cons'ciou.sly, under-
stztttdingly, the Mary spirit and
the Ma-rtltzt» care. To bring wor-
ship into work; "to put divinity
into all we do"; to find the poet-
ry in the prose. the light in the
dztrkttess. the good in the seein-
ing evil; to make our choice of
the good part~our love of the
good, and the beautiful. and the
true—an infusing life which shall
render every service of the hands‘
d.-D uplifting, cnnobling praise;
which. with its clear shining,
shztll illuminate and glorify the
most weztrisotne and monotonous
occupation.

V\"hcn this positive spiritual
power shall thtts shed its radi-
attcc over and through all our
wztkittgand sleeping hours—all
our labor, rest and recreation—
when we learn to make of ottr
work worsltip. then we shall
lttt-vc gotten hold of the forces by
which we can cast out all gloomy
shatlows: can say to poverty. be-
gone: to sickttess, I have no use
for you: to pztrtings, what is one
cannot be divided; and to death.
thou hast no sting; for‘ the last
enemy is overcome. Is this an
iclcztl attaintnent only‘! Is it be-
yond the reach of weary and
worn day laborers'.’ That which
has been taught in all ages con-
cerning the grand mastery of all
conditions we deplore. must have
,foundation in fact. Thoughts,
icleas. theories, and principles
are living elements which are
parts of the round whole, oper-
ating in their sphere toward the
harmonizing of the whole. Hence
the belief that such possibilities
exist is evidence that there is a.
tneztns to work out the end de-
sired. Every effort we make,
every glad smile, every happy
good morning. every cheerful
endeavor. every thought of char-
ity and forbearance, every kindly
wish, is at little ray of golden
sunshine penetrating into some
dark corner, doing work of
peace and purity.

Nothing is lost. It is worth
while to live, even if our tread-
mill round is only to keep one
kitchen tidy, and one table neat-
ly set with healthful. inviting
food, while we think our happy
thoughts, and by a heart full of
sunshine, fill the home with the
radiatnce of loving good will.

The Mary Within — the choice
of the best, for holiest uses, joins
hands with the Martha — the
thoughtful, kindly care for bodi-
ly wants, to link in one harmoni-
ous bond, the Divine and Human,
Love and Labor. Faith and
Works, Heaven and Earth.

“Girls Who Became Famous."

I have been I'(‘£1-(llIt_‘_,' at cl1ztrtn-
ing book for girls lately. and
ltztve enjoyed it so much, I wished
every girl could sltare the pleas-
ure with me.

There are so man y new books
—~g()O(l0l1(:s‘. too---that it is it11-
possiblc for any one person to
have seen them all. So I am sure
I am itttroducittg 21 new friend. to
some of you. at least, when I
speak of "(iirls Who bccttn1eli‘zt-
ntous." by Sill"ttl'l K. Bolton.

It was pttblislted in ISIS. I be-
lieve. The author has selected
for sttl)jet-ts of her sketches girls‘
who beczttnc famous its L‘tLltl1()1‘S,
as .sculptors. as painters, as phil-
anthropists. and several other
occupzttions. With but one ex-
ception, good portrztits are given
of each personage. Turning the
leaves, you will see many famil-
iztr faces, and some wiose ac-
quaintance you will be glad to
make

Louisa Alcott» and Jean Inge-
low. Florence Nightcngale and
Mary Livermore, Rosa Bonheur
and Lady Brassey, Madame Dc
Stael and Baroness Burdett—
Coutts, andflbut I will not tell
you all the good things the book
contains.

You ‘ill like this book bo-
cause the biographies are so well
written. You will find here new
facts about old friends. and relin-
ble sketches of those of whotn
you should know something.

In relating the lives of these
people, she doc's not conceal any
wrong thing which needs to be
mentioned in order to give a. cor-
rect history, but she touches the
evil lightly, condemning it. but
turning quickly from it to dwell,
with akindly charity, upon the
virtues of those who. for the
time, are at her mercy.

Another fine thing about the
work is the influence it exerts
upon the reader.

Miss Bolton makes you see
that the worthy points in each of
these lives may be points in your
own cha.racter as well. You re-
alize that the commendation lies
not in their becoming famous.
but it1 their patience. their per-
severance. their devotion to their
work. She says: "We must be
willing to bear at thousand fail-
ures if we would have ultintatc
success."

Do not read too much at once.
Take one biography slowly and
thoroughly. then carry the mem-
ory of it with you about your
Work. before you begin another.
You will find much to think about.
Studyto learn why the woman
succeeded; how much circum-
stances helped or hindered.

After reading several lives. it
might be helpful to think out a.
comparison of them, something
after the fashion of “Plutarch's
Lives;” and when you have fin-
ished the book, to select your fa-
vorite character, and decide why
she is your favorite, defining the
points in which you consider her
superior to the others. All this
you can do while about your daily
duties.

There are many choice bits of
poetry, such as "H. H.‘s” or
Jean IngeloW’s beautiful lines,
for instance, in this charming

book. which you will not watt! to
keep for yourself alone. but will

.enjoy far more to read it aloud to

your mother. and tl1PI‘t3 mztv be
many beauties that she willifincl
there which you will naturally
overlook. ~—Barbara.. in The
Household.

 

 

Don't Try to Do Too Much.

A man who works in an ofiice
or store six hours of the day does
not return to his home and re-
cover furniture or paint floors. or
even mend his own clothes.
one expects it of him. A woman.
doing precisely the saute work
for the saute number of hours‘.
will hurry home and work ttpott
it dress or hat or tPllll)l‘l)l(l(‘l‘}'. or
some work about the ltottsc. The
l'()s‘llll' is that l1t*1tl‘l.\' all utvn s".tc-

IIIUII tttust be content to do what
they can. not to uttctttpt the int-
possible.

If you are :1 good ltottst~l<<~epot'
thank lteztvett for it, and attend
to it. If you are it good book-
keeper attend to that and be
thankful, but don't attempt to
keep house. It is not fair to
yourself or to the work you are
paid to do to tlistributo your en-
ergy upon a dozen tli’tfe1'ottt occu
putions‘. lVhy women .~:.houltl be
cxpccted to do so much iszt (pics-

of them. it's "otltt-r" women who
are not .S"tLtlSil('(l that their sis-

but insist upon their nttetttptittg
all sorts of ttttt'cns‘ot1ztblo experi-

Mrs. S. T. Rorer. pricipal of

says in regard to canned corn:

screw them down. place them in

and boil continuously for three

lift out the jars and scrmv down
the covers‘ as tightly its possible.
While cooling. tighten the covers
from time to time. and when cold
screw tighter still. if possible.
Keep in it cool. dark place. Limit
beans are tron-tetl somewhat dif-
ferently. Fill the jars with un-
cooked beans. add cold water until
rttnning over, lay on the tops‘
do not screw them down, and
pack closely in it wash boiler on
a. layer of st-raw or hay; pour cold
water in the boiler to half cover.
put it over the fire. fit the lid on
closely. and boil steadily three
hours. Lift out the jars; see that
they are tilled to overflowing,
and screw on the covers‘ its tightly
as possible. When cold. screw
up again and keep in it cool. dark
place. Asparagus and peas may
be canned in the same way. It
pays to use glass cztns for home
canning. The first signs of fer-
mentation can readily be detect-
ed, and the flavor of the fruit or
vegetables is far superior to those
put up in tins. String beans are
the easiest to put up. Throw in-
to boiling water, boil rapidly fif-
teen minutes. and then put up as
you do small fruits——tha.t is. in
jars heated in warm water: fill to
overflowing. and screw on the
tops tightly."

Miss Corson advocates the
same method of canning corn.
Mrs. Henderson's directions for
string beans are identical with
those of Mrs. Rorer. Where so
many celebrated authorities
agree, success is certain if the
directions are followed closely in
every particular. —Alice Chitten-
den, in County Gentleman.

Mrs. Mary Smith Hayward,
vice-president of the Nebraska
Woman Suffrage Association,
owns a. large millinery establish-
ment at Chadron, but in all her
fine stock of goods, no bird, nor
even a. wing, can be bought. She
will not be a. party to the traffic
in slaughtered birds.

To make an excellent hair re-
storer take one (l1‘zL('.l'1Ill lac-sub
phur, one drachm sugztr of lead
and four ounces of rose water.
Mix, and shake the vial on using
the mixture. Both the hair
twice it day for a. week. This
preparation does not dye the hair
but restores it to its natural coi-
or.

To prevent hair from falling
out take one—half pint of French
brandy. one tablespoonful of fine
salt and one teaspoonful powder-
ed alum. Let these be mixed
and well shaken until they are
dissolved. Then filter and it is
ready for use. If used every day
it may be diluted with soft water.

Thoughts for September.

0 month of golden fruit and ripened grain,
Of skies and peaks that ntelt in mists together,
And streams that sing in murmurs soft and low
A tender requiem for the summer weather.

A pleasant look has she,
Such as the children love to see upon
Their mother's face when they her smiles have

WOII.
Let others choose their love—September pleases

HORSE AND COW POWDER

Is of the highest value of horses, cattle, hogs, and
poultry. It assists digestion and assimilation and
thus converts feed into muscle. milk and fat which
otherwise would be wasted.

MORTIMER WHITEHEAD

Says: “German ‘Horse and Cow Powder pays many
times its cost in keeping all kinds of farm stock in
good health. I have used it for years on my farm.
buying a barrel at a time."

It is manufactured by Dr. L. Oberholtzer’s Sons
& 00., Phtsnixville, Pa, and sold at

Wholesale Prices--viz:

with hydrophobizi or not.

Should the aniinal have been
shot or otherwise killed, it is
advisable that the patient should
submit at once to Pasteur‘streat-
ment, for two reasons: first be-
cause it is harmless: second. be-
cause its eflicacy has been proved
beyond a doubt. over fifteen
thouszind persons having been
inoculated since Pasteur-‘s dis-
covery.

In case the aniinal remains in
good health. it is unnecessary
that the patient submit to inocula-

Instinct of Bees and Ants.

How insects. especially bees
and ants, find their way back
home is one of the marvels of
natural history says a writer in
the St. Louis “Globe Democrat."
My wife keeps bees, and my little
boy has a taste for entomology
and is always making experiments
of one kind or another with them
and other insects. He has been
trying to find how far away a.
bee can be taken and not get lost.
but has not yet succeeded. I

next put pointed stones in the
ends of sticks and made spears.
To cut up the flesh of anitiials-
they nizidc storm knives. They
discovered the use of the bow and
arrow. for some of the shzirpened
stories that are found must cer-
tainly have been arrow hezi-(ls.
They made liritnmors and axes
and chisels of stone. All these
were chipped, so as to give them
ii cutting edge. They mzirle gxrcat

They liud no combs, nor pins,
nor needles. nor threml. in the
earliest times. But they found
out that they could fasten things
together with the fibers of plants
or with thongs made from the
skins of animals. They made im-
plements of horn which served
for needles. They early discov-
ered the use of fire. Maybe men
first got fire from a. volcano, or
they may have dropped or struck
one piece of flint on another and

have seen the spark. It may be
that it set something on fire and

they felt the eflect—the warmth.

Lady Daike. and is profusely and
beautifully illustrated with re-

productions of the famous artists

Forgotten City, by Eleanor
Lewis. is a romantic description
of the ruins of Soluntum. the
Sicilian , Pompeii. embellished
with photographs. Malmaison
in the market, by Mary Bacon
Ford, describes the waning for-
tunes of the house celebrated for
the residence of these of ,the ill-
fatted Empress Josephine. Julia
Hayes Percy describes the Ladies‘
New York Club in an entertain-
ing article to which Henry Penn
has contributed illustrations.
Elizabeth Bisland writes of
Tatters-all’s, the great London
horse market, and the family who
have given it name and fame.
Molly Elliott Seawell contributes
“the Romance of Count Konigs-
mark," the titled adventurer for
whom the wife of George I of
England spent thirty years in
prison; and the Countess Ella
