In the world of our iniagiiia-’

lion. built by analogy. there must

have be:-ii a time when :i drop of

water was unknown. It was a

world of lluid and of llaine. The
solid t'l(‘1i1¢,‘l1i,s which we know

and see were turbulent waves of
tire. Our iminovable rocks were
liquid lakes. and all this paiio-
raiiia of living. iiiovin_<_: things
enveloped the earth in a cloud of
etherial. iniiiiaterial vapor “with- ‘
out form and void." As the ages
passed and the active forces suba
sided the law of affinity began to3
be felt. Elements of like cliar-
actor settled into strata. The
cream or team: of the fusions
solidified into nietalic ores. As.
the mass cooled the gasses envel- l
oping the earth fraternized into;
compounds. The oxygen andi
nitrogen became air, and mayi
have existed above this heated!
mass for an age. But when thei
earth had cooled to a degree’-
which allowed it, the aflinity be-
tween oxygen and hydrogenl
brought the two together and a
drop of water came into being.
Among all the t"orces that were

into the adaptability of this drop
of water to the various oliices it
perforins in the great iiiystery of
plant growth going on around us.
As it comes down. distilled out
of the cloud. it is a colorless.
odoi'less. tasteless. transparent
liquid. having a trace of carbonic
acid and. lrerpieiitly. amiiioiiia.
which the clieniist can detect. but
it is not in any aderpiate measure

thicker became this crust. until
the drops were showers. the‘
showers torrents. and the tor-l
rents cataclysms of downpouring
rain. The ponderous bulk of
earth began to contract. The
unyielding. refractory crust bent
‘outward in long varying wrink-
les, which we call mountains. or
tumbled into the cavernous hol-
lows. which soon filled with water
and became oceans. Ages and
zcons passed. Water evaporated
in vapor. congealed into misty
clouds and descended again in
rain. in multiplied cycles, level-
ing the uneven surfaces and
scooping out channels toward
the seas.

Passing by the periods whenl
sea monsters swam and crawled.
and glaciers spread their icy
rivers over the surface. to break
and grind the rocks into tritu-
rated drift. to the time when old
earth became eqnilibriant in its
orbit——swinging in the rymth of
its balanced round. and the sea
sons became fixed. then our drop
of water began its direct minis
try for mankind.

The scanty soil sent up a slen-
der herbage; each season’s round
increased its volume and variety,
and centuries of showers and sun
sent the annual stems and leaves
to mingle with the dusty surface,
until fermentations and the fruc-
tifying influences of the rain
drops, built up the soil from
which man, for thousands of
years, has. by the sweat of his
brow, harvested annual supplies
of daily bread.

Passing by the hydraulic power .
of water we come to consider a
characteristic that contravenes
all the common law governing:
the other material bodies of the:
universe. viz: expansion by heat!
and contraction by cold. If a
drop of water followed this law
in its usual effects. ice would
sink as fast as formed. and all
the water in that temperature of
the earth that falls below 32 de-
grees would become solid masses
of ice. But see how wonderfully
the Creator has provided against
such a calamity. Water con-
denses down to 39 degrees——or to
be exact, 39.2 0 ; then from that
point it expands so that at 38.2 0
it has the srme specific gravity
as at 40 0. When the surface of
water chills to 39.20 it sinks to
the bottom, and this continues
until the whole bulk of water
stands at that temperature, a de-
gree not destructive to animal
life in it. and it never falls below
that figure.

Expansion is very slow below
39.2 °, but when it reaches 32 0

and condition of manure to be

in July and the first two weeks
in August is the best time to
apply to get the results: no differ-
ence if the land is to be sewn to
wheat or planted in corn the next
spring. or if it is to be used for
meadow the following summer.
This is a good way to restore old
meadows or pastures. The
ground is generally solid for

soon after. We not only get the
substance of the manure. but it is
at great benefit as a shade from
the scorching sun. which shading
at this time of the year is of itself
a good fertilizer.——Ex.

City Life in the Country.

‘Mr. John Bookwalter. an
Ohio gentleman of wealth and
political prominence. comments
interestingly in the l*‘orum upon
the discontent among the farin-
ing community. Alter showing
from the census returns that the
agricultural classes have got
possession of only a very small
proportion of the wealth of the
country the last :10 years, he takes
up the more somber and squalid
phases of farm life which make
it so cheerless and drive the
young men from those regions to
the life of the cities.

While there are many farmers’
families that are in aconiparative
ly prosperous condition. who
keep "help,“ and have plenty of
room. large airy bedrooms, leisure
hours on Sunday, and a carriage
to go to church in. yet there are
large numbers also who are de-
prived of these luxuries and coin-
forts. “They ar frequently
crowded together in small rooins
as unhealthy as the poor in the
cities; by day they are overwork-
ed: in the summer time they are
always overheated; in winter
pinched by coin and ougiienea‘
by exposure: while at ‘fill seasons
they have the worst of evils,
montony and loneliness; else why
do the insane asyluinns hold such
an enormous proportion of
farmers’ wives?"

In manufactures and the arts
there is a division of labor which
has almost worked miracles.
But in the isolated system of
farming one set of utensils must
be used for different purposes;
the amount of capital invested
in them is out of proportion to
the use which is made of them;
that is to say, they lie idle most
of the time, while under different
conditions they might be made to
produce far greater results if
applied to the wants of the whole
community. '

But suppose the now isolated
farmers in a tract five miles
square were gathered into a cen-
tral village of say 100 families.
The village well, the village cis-
tern. the village windmill in any
of the prairie states would raise
an abundance of water for the
100 families, thus saving the ex-
pense of many windmills and
the slavish labor of the
women at the wells. The village
laundry would do the washing
for the village with less exhaus-
tion than to the one women who
now does it for a single family
and “save the misery of washing
day in an isolated family.” The
usefulness of the village bakery
has already been proved in the
experience of many an American
and French village, and in many
a hamlet too small to support a
bakery the women prepare the
dough and send it to a central
oven to be baked. saving in fuel,
labor. and other ways.

But on most farms at present
the farmer's wife and daughters
must cook, bake, wash, iron,
clean and, Worst of all, live in
one or two rooms. The butcher
of the farm village, too, could
supply them with fresh meat in-
stead of the almost eternal round
of salt meats they are now ob-
liged to use on account of the un-
economy of killing the animals
for themselves. The social life
of the village being more attrac-
tive than the farm, help could be
more easily procured. Already
there is some approach to this
co—operation in the creameries
that have sprung up in the coun-
try. A farm village might easily

have its creamery to manufacture

3.

the butter for the farmers instead
of each one having his separate
churn.

Then would come the village‘
club. the evening school. the‘s

girls on the farm and make the
life worth living.

Mr. Bookwalter. who knows
from personal (éX1)(‘l‘l(,*l1(.‘(). the
evils of the isolated farm. is so
much in earnest that he has
taken steps to rc-all’/.e his ideal
by projecting tliese farm villages
in Nebraska. The tirst of them
will be built on a tract of 13.000
acres in Pawnee county to con-
tain 1-.'>0 farms of N) acres each.
and in the ceiiter of the tract will
be a village of 1:30 liouses-—a
house for every farm.

In time. and. indeed. probzibly
soon. fll(‘.i1IlS of coininunication
between the village and the farms

haps elocti'itci‘ry will be then de-
veloped enough to furnish motors
for a railway running in a circle
through all the farms and ter-
minating in the village  a cen-
ter. In a village community the
roads would be better looked after
than now. There would be more
public spirit and a desire to ob-
tian the greatest accommodation
and convenience within the
means of the people thus dwell-
ing together on isolated farms.

Since it looks now as if the
farmer is the one who is to enjoy
the prosperity of the future, the
present is a hopeful time for es-
tablishing villages of this sort.
If the farmer is ' prosperous he
will feel more like investing in
such an improvement Once
successfully demonstrated. the
custom would rapidly spread. for
the gregarious instinct that
makes cities. would soon find in-
dulgence in the formation of
these farm villages and the im-
provement of these communities.

Specu-.s; panning. a

After all the question of spec-
ial farming resolved itself into
this: no soil can stand continu-
ous cultivation of any particular
crop. for rotation of cropsis just
as essential to the soil as fertili-
zers. Special farming may do
for a short time—a few years at
the utmost—but beyond that it
cannot be made to pay. Many
of those who advocate special
farming from experience do so
after a few years‘ trial of some
particular crop. but it takes a
long time to lost the question
thoroughly. One farmer may
conclude that raising potatoes
for the market is the specialty
which will pay him the most.and
from one or two good season's
crops he draws his conclusions.
But what of the special crop of
potatoes a few years later when
the soil begins to deteriorate?
Some other crops will then have
to be grown to restore the lost
fertility. Corn. wheat or pota-
toes may be grown to a certain
extent as a specialty. but not ex-
clusively. Other crops must
come in for a. rotation, or the soil
will become worthless. The
whole subject of specialty in
farming must be considered in the
light of what effect such cultiva-
tion of the soil is going to have
on the future fertility of the
farm. Potatoes may be grown
as a specialty -for many years,
and commercial fertilizers used
to keep the soil up to such a
standard that good crops can be
produced. But there will be a
gradual deterioration in the soil.
and it would be found cheaper
and safer in the end to rotate
with clover and grain to give to
the soil constituents that commer-
cial fertilizers never can.

The only true way for special-
ty in farming is to find out what
the soil and locality of the farms
is best fitted to produce. This
can be done only by testing it.
Then make this crop the special
one. but see to it that other crops
are brought in to keep the soil
from losing its strength. All
that need be grown are such
crops necessary for a wise rota-
tion, and then the ideal farm is
reached. In this sense specialty
in’ farming has an intelligent
meaning; but in any other sense
it is worse than meaningless. ‘It

is misleading.—A. B. Barrett, in

The pigs did not have much
grass in the pasture. If they had
had blue grass or clover they
would undoubtedly made a greater

were made to attain an average
gross weight of ‘_’10 lbs at a cost

days they reached 247$ lbs at a
cost of $1.80 per cwt. and at 11
months old they reached 292)’ lbs
at a cost of $2 per cwt. The con-
clusions drawn from this very
valuable experiment are, first. the
necessity of exercising skill and
judgment in selecting breeding
animals, second. that an increase
of weight is made at a proportion-
ate increase of cost per pound.
and third, the highest price re-
ceived does not always mean the
greatest profit for the amount

Many of our forefathers built
their homes on high hills. for
good and sufficient reason, prob-
ably. yet ignorant of the very
important fact deduced from
modern scientific research. that
the deadly vegetable infusoria of
the bogs and quagmires never
rise more than 60 feet above their
low and pestiferous level. We
should do well to avoid the mala-
rious and deadly influences of
these foul lowlands by draining
them or otherwise. seeking and
appropriating the best and purest
lair within our reach by day and
‘by night. These pestiferous in-
fluences and foul gases are too
often found all about us. some

Unmuzzle the Farmer.

This season's great wheat crop
seems to be an unsolved problem,
causing agitation among the
farmers and the grain speculators.
The iiusbandinan, naturally,
wants his own, what he is of
right entitled to. and grain men
are after a margin. which, as
naturally. must come from the
producers‘ granary. The law
of supply and demand ought to
be the governing rule. so that
the farmer. in all cases. reaps the
reward of his toil. and not that
the grain sharks be allowed to
fleece him right and left by com-
pelling him to take a price fixed
by the great boards of exchange.
which as conducted to-day.
virtually prohibit the agricultur-
ist from enjoying the privileges
of an American freeman.

This not only relates to the
wheat crop, but as well to corn.
pork. beef and everything else
raised on the farm, to be thrown
upon the worlds market, pro-
ducts which are the commercial
and industrial life of the people.
Restrict the price of crops-all

control of well drilled boards of
exchange and the trade and com-
merce of the country become. in
a large measure, blocked. enter-
prise languishes and, as the say-
ing goes, times are dull, hard,
and innumerable failures occur.
when. in fact, prosperity ought
to prevail throughout the land by
an unchained, free commercial
intercourse. Cause the producer
to suffer financial stress and you
at once muzzle the vital industries
of the Nation.——East St. Louis

Matching Horses.

Matching horses for market is
a profitable field for effort to
those who have natural inclina-
tion that way and have taken
pains to learn all about horses
that they can. Probably not
more than one in several thou-
sand can tell whether two horses
will match or not by only seeing
them separately. Still there are
others who can do it. To qualify
one for this. long and close ob-
servations are necessary, as also
to learn the anatomy of the horse
and to study all the available
horse literature. Such was the
man who furnished President
Cleveland with the famous “seal
brown” team. There are plenty
of horses in the country which
can be bought for $200. $300 or
$100 singly.which, when matched,
could be sold as a team to fire

The Present Use of Aluminum.

nature Some of it is also used
as receptacles to hold acidulated
waters, the metal being entirely
unattacked either by nitric or
sulphuric acids. At the last meet-
ing of the American Institute of
Mining Engineers at lVashington
the use of Aluminum for house-
hold utensils in place of tinned,
copper and granite ware was dis-
cussed. and the general verdict
was that Aluminum was by far
preferable for this purpose. for,
unlike other metals. it is not at-
tacked by acid and contains no
poisonous ingredients deleterious
to health. In fact. several gen-
tleman stated the interesting fact
that many of the ills of the human
system that were attributed to
other causes were due to nothing
more than the poisonous salts of
antimony. arsenic, lead and cop-
per that go into the food from
the vessels used in cooking and
canning.

The chief hindrance to the use
of Aluminum is its cost, which at
present is, we believe, about half
that of silver by weight: but an
ounce of Aluminum will go as
far as two or three ounces of sil-
ver in the making of domestic
ware, on account of its lightness
and strength. If made on a
larger scale it could probably be
broduced more cheaply.——Ex.

The lecture of the evening was
delivered by John N. Bush, of

Lansing. the subject of which
was “The Workshop and the
Farin." The two industries co-
ordinate. Farming is the indus-
try which supports all other in-
dustries, while the shop invents
the implements with which this
labor is performed.

The shop makes farm land
more valuable by the machinery
which it produces.

It is the duty of farmers and
mechanics to labor for the con-
solidating of these industries.

Opened with a song by the
choir and prayer by the Chaplain
of Pomona Grange. A second
piece of music was rendered.
after which an essay, entitled
"The Aim of Life,“ was pre-
sented by Carrie M. Havens. of
Fitchburg. followed by a recita-
tion by a member of Felt Grange.

The remainder of the morning
session was devoted to an address
by J. W. Gifford. of White Oak.
the subject being. "Pike's Peak
Gold Mines in ".39."

The speaker described their
explorations and mining, the cus-
toms of the Indians. the settle-
ment of the western country, etc.

THE AFTERNOON SESSION

opened with a song by the choir,
followed by a paper by J. H.
Forster, of Williamston. on the
subject of "Droughts." The
present system of artificial drain-
age one of the causes of droughts.
Too much draining indulged in.
Cultivation in dry weather next
in value to rain. Some of the
ways of overcoming droughts
were mentioned.

Vigorous discussion followed
the reading of this paper, after
which a recitation was given by
Miss Della Wright.

A paper on the subject of
“Ooal" was then presented by
C. F. Wheeler, of the Agricul-
tural College, in which the origin,
formation and uses of coal were
described in an interesting man
ner.

This paper was followed by an
oration by Miss Phebe Proctor,
of White Oak. “Our Govern-
ment” being the subject chosen.

“A Talk on Facts” was then
given by R. L. Hewitt. in which
many interesting facts were men-
tioned. among them were what
it costs to raise crops in Michi-
gan. what they bring when
raised, Where the balance rests,
the value of statistics, etc.

Discussion on this paper. fol-
lowed by music, closed the after-
noon session.

The meeting was well attended,

time and read an able paper_.
touching on the topics of the day,
of much vital importance tot
farmers. His pleasant face and‘
genial manner won for him many
friends. It is hoped he may meet
with us again soon.

Our Past Lecturer, Bro. Jason
Woodman, was with us and pre-
sented us with his best stories zmdl
advised the farmer to hold his
wheat for a dollar a bushel. Our
lively brother bears up under the
vicissitudes of time to a remark-
able degree. He is always wel-
come in Lenawee county.

The addresses were interspersed
with music. songs. balloon ascen-
sions, etc. Miss Russell also
entertained the audience with
her recitations.

One Alliance Fallacy.

Some time ago a leading light
of the Farmers’ Alliance of Cali-
fornia, was interviewed by a
Denver paper on financial ques-
tions. The interview has been
republished in many western pa-
pers with unqualified commenda-
tion. In that interview he used
the following fallacious reason-
ing in support of the allegation,
which one may hear almost daily
in Michigan, that “the govern-
ment loans money to national
banks at 1 per cent.” :

The power of the government
to issue legal bonds. paper money,
has been established by the
United States supreme court, and
the proposition to lend it to the
people at a rate not to exceed 2
per cent., on culivated lands at
one—half their value, is certainly
as safe a transaction as the pres-
ent scheme by which it lends to
the national banks, at 1 per cent.

Farmers’ Association Notes.

This club held its 1.‘.’th annual
meeting at the home of Mr. and
Mrs. A. H. Smith, near Paw
Paw. Mr. Smith is engaged
largely in fruit raising. and is
the author of several papers on
fruit culture which have ap-
peared for the first time in the
Visitor. but have been extensive
ly copied by horticultural papers
in this and other states. There
were 14 covered buggies stand-
ing in the front yard. and two
open rigs before the dinner hour.
Mr. Smith has just completed an
addition to his residence. so that
this large company were conven-
iently entertained. The dining
room. where the tables had al-
ready been set when the guests
arrived. was a marvel of elabor-
ate decoration with ripened
fruits and flowers. Peaches.
plums. pears and grapes, in their
different vaiiieties and colors,
were arranged in figures and in
pyramids, and the walls were fes-
tooned with sample branches
loaded with the fruit. No exhi-
bition equalling it had ever been
seen in a home where all the or-
namentation was the product of
the farm. The substantial part
of the dinner was in keeping with
the decorations, and this part of
the entertainment of the day will
be remembered long after the
parts on the program have been
forgotten.

The discussion on “A Drop of
Water,” printed on first page,
turned upon the effort to pro-
duce a "drop" by bombarding
the skies.

Mr. James Bale did not believe
in legislating for rain any more
than in legislating for other
chimerical objects. The clouds
are not controlled by human
power. The Ruler of the uni-
verse never intended that man
should compel rain at will.

The report of the success at
the Morris ranche in Texas was
urged as proof of the potency of
powder to compel rain.’ '1‘. R.
Harrison thought it possibly all
a conincidence; but he did not
believe that we are to sit down
and wait entirely for Providence
to aid us. He believed the gar-
den of Eden to have been a very
good one and that the fruit was

excellent, but no better than
some of the gardens in the United
States, and no finer fruits there
than here. We build dams to
furnish power to produce electric
lights which will not come at our
will nor naturally for our needs.
The Almighty never dams

to give up our efforts at discov-~
ery. He has a high appreciation *
of water in proper quantities.

80 per cent. of the substance isi

ations shold, in general. be round. i
when left free to fashion them-*
selves. There are no square ap-
ples. nor square cabbages. Thei
one exception in the grains is’

buckwheat. and he would bl1lllSi1§

the rain makers, he said. in prac-‘
tice. who is to determine when
and where rain is needed‘: A
neiglibor may object to 1'2llll‘
when I desire it. V\’hen they
produce rain over areas where
none has fallen for a thousand
years. then the theory may be
established as practical.

The question of sandy farms
was raised. and G. E. Breck be-
ing called out responded by say-
ing that as he owned a sand farm
he ought to know something
about it. He had changed his
opinion regarding such farms
very greatly in the last few years.
He has noticed that the farmers
on such land got along quite as
well as those on heavier land.
Crops are raised at less expense
and with less strain on both team
and tools. Many localities are
adapted to fruit raising. which
diversities production. Lands
that formerly would not bring a
dollar per acre are now selling
at large figures for this purpose.
He believed from what he could
learn of the sandy lands in the
north part of the state, that the
sooner the people were driven
off their farms by crop failures
the better it would be for them.

Jason Woodman believed that
the crops raised on our sand
farms bring as much net profit as
on any farms in the state. In
his wanderings through the state.
the solid farmers’ clubs and
Granges were generally—not al-
ways—located on sandy farms.

T. R. Harrison: Astruggle for
life begets a strong mental and
physical manhood, but if that
struggle is too great enfeeble—
ness ensues. There is a happy
medium between the extremes of
soil that seem best adapted to
farming.

Mrs. A. M. Bangs: A combat
with the elements brings out the
best that is in us. If the Pil-
grims had landed at the Golden
Gate instead of at Plymouth
there would have been no uni-
versal Yankee nation.

E. B. Welch: Sandy soils were
settled first by an enterprising
class of New England and New
York people, and they have had
better advantages of cultivation
and improvement. While the
heavy timber lands were hard to
clear, and were improved later.
Sandy lands, however, have a
month. altogether, at the begin-
ning and end of the season,when
work can be done upon them to
advantage, when heavier lands
cannot be Worked, thus less help
is required.

J. J. Woodman said the pio-
neer opinion was that the land
was all good. His father had
his pick of all the lands when he
purchased the farm he (J. J.)
now owned. If sandy land “de-
veloped” a man (and he pulled
down his vest to illustrate his
meaning) he was a practical ex-
ample of it. Sand is a very im-
portant constituent of all soils.
but it might be present in excess

disabuse fariners of the idea
that here as elsewliere agriciil-‘E
ture is the "under dog." and is}
being im
siaiitly irritated by the other (l(-- 
partiiients of college work. ’
There is no truth in this belief.
If there were an‘y such spirit,
manifested. the board of control%
ought to be able to detect it.
when its attention is constantly
called to it by individual insinua-
tions and public assertions. The
members of this board are all
farmers, and perhaps it is not
too much to say, that in the local
interests at home with which
they are identified. their loyalty
to agriculture is not questioned.
and it is akin to slander to infer
that they would countenance the
subordinate position of agricul-
ture which is imputed to it by
those who are railing against the
college. The very opposite of
these insinuations is the true
state of the case. Every fair
minded man who goes to the col-
lege, however much he may have
been influenced by prejudiced
statements. finds that agricul-
ture is made the principle fea-
ture of college work. If that
does not have the preference, the
board of control is defeated in
ite aims. The figures show that
the per cent. of farm labor has
constantly increased for the last
two years. At that time, or two
years ago, “:1 d;run down to the
lowest point in the history of the
college. and it was then that all
the points that are made against
college labor had some founda-
tion. It is not fair to assume
that that condition of things still
exists. It does not. Students
themselves are indignant at the
false statements that are con-
stantly being made regarding la-
bor on the farm. It is not shirked,
but on the contrary. is being
made more and more to be de-
sired. It" is now presented in a
way to be attractive. and be
comes really. as it was originally
intended, a source of practical
knowledge. which even those who
do not intend to follow farming.
cannot afford to miss. A larger
proportion than ever of the new
students have taken the agricul-
tural course this year. and the
institution was never in so good
a condition as at present.
-' ---<o+———
It is pleasant at times to be
consulted in the line of one's
taste, and especially in fruit
time when "new and valuable"
strawberries are seeking endorse-
ments, regarding firmness and
flavors and colors, and when it
takes a good many specimens to
determine. We. have a friend
who is a connoisseur in grapes.
and he likes to have his good
opinion confirmed. which is an
especially agreeable and valua-
ble characteristic in a friend.
But when it comes to peaches,
and you are sent a whole round-
ed peck basket, every one of
which is a marvel of delicate
color and delicious flavor, and
are asked to pass an opinion, it
takes too many words and too
great research among the syn-
onyms to do justice to it. On
Sept. 2 C. Engle, of Paw Paw,

The Weather Debating Society.

There are now so many cloud
compelling rain producers turn-
ing up that any opulent person
who is interested in the weather
can hire one of them for his own
convenience. But suppose a man
who would like to enjoy a shower
on a warn afternoon orders his
cloud compeller to produce one
at a time when his next door
neighbor desires to take a walk
in his garden under the sunshine,
what will ensure? Will the rain
producer be liable to be sued for
damages by his neighbor or will
the case be settled by arbitration?

These questions are fit to be
taken up by the Weather Debat-
ing Society. now that so many
rain producers are offering their
services at a low price.—N. Y.
Sun.

A number of our exchanges
refer to the Grange in terms of
derision because it persistently
refuses to invite discord into its
ranks by going into the partisan
politics business. Henry Clay
said he would rather be right
than President, and the Grange
prefers being slow and sure to
heing fast and uncertain. It is
an educational. social and busi-
ness organization and proposes
to hew to that line as long as it
can find an agricultural stick of
timber to work on.—Gra-nge
News.

A good many people over-esti-
mate the number of farmers who
indorse the sub-treasury and
tnird-party ideas. Not three per
cent of Texas farmers can be
gulled be either folly. As a fact,
the strongest support comes from
the Knights of Labor—especially
the division known as Federation
of Labor. These indorse both
schemes more to effect a fusion
between labor and agricultural
third-partyists than any belief in
or intelligent knowledge of the
Ocala demands. ——Texas Farmer.

Market Report. and Indications.

The status of’ the cattle market
has made but little change in re-
ceipts and prices: supplies vary
but little from the same time last
year. while prices range consid-
erably higher. As I have noted
before, the range cattle are com-
ing forward in splendid condi-
tion and in greater quantities
than last season, but the receipts
of native cattle are less than a
year ago. While we cannot look
for any great rise in prices. it
does seem that as soon as they
are through coming the prices of
common cattle must range higher.
As soon as the corn crop is out
of danger I look for higher prices
and a greater demand for good
feeders. In fact. one dealer in
Iowa is already quoting his good
feeders at $35.25 (II $23.75 per cwt.
at home, and the yard dealers in
Chicago have great confidence
in the future of the trade.

Since the last issue of the Vis
itor the restrictions placed upon
American pork by the German
government have been removed
and several cargoes of meats
have been sent out bearing the
stamp of inspection given it by
the U. S. Government, and an-
other outlet for our surplus food
is found. What effect it will
have in enhancing values is
hard to determine.

The report of growing crops.
issued by the Secretary of Agri-
culture. gives us the prospect of
an immense corn crop, provided
it has plenty of time to ripen.
This. in connection with an aver-
age supply of hogs in the coun-
try, would point to lower prices
for the future. Speculators are
selling futures lower in spite of
these facts that the movement of
the product is liberal and the
packing throughout the west is
less than last year.

The receipts of sheep continue
lighter than the corresponding
period of last year. with prices
but little if any higher. One
feature of the sheep market is
the large number of lambs that
come forward under the stimulus
of a rise in the market. Good,
fat and well—matured muttons are
steady, while other classes flue-
tuate considerably. No one need
fear for the future of good sheep
and lambs as long as the follow-
ing state of affairs exists: During
the year past the United States
have imported more than five
times the number of sheep ex
ported for food supplies. The
imports. principally from Can-
ada, amounted to 336.153 head.
while the number exported were
only 60.9-17. Here, it seems to
me. is a chance to greatly in-
crease the revenue from the
farm. E. A. WILDEY.

Grange and Alliance.

The people generally are in a
state of ignorance in relation to
the different organizations of
farmers in the country. and more

especially in the State of Newl

York. Alliance. Grange and
League is all the same to them.
First. let _us consider the Patrons
of Husbandry, or more familiar-
ly known as the grangers. They
are entitled to precedence on the
ground of age of the organiza-
tion and the number of its mem-
bers. The grange is a moral.
social. educational and. to a cer-
tain extent. through its trade
arrangements a beneficial organ-
ization. It is in no sense political
so far as the advocacy of the
professions of either political
party. When a man professes
religion he is expected to “re-
nounce the devil and all his
work," but when a man joins the
grange he is not obliged to ab-
jure politics. but for the sake of
harmony it is not permitted to
consider political questions in
the grange.

Neither has the grange ever
taken any part as a body in pol-
itics. and it is sincerely to be
hoped it never will. Therefore
when persons write or talk of
what action the Grange
is going to take politically you
can set it down that they are not
members of the order. and have
no knowledge of the subject
about which they are talking.
The writer takes rank among its
oldest members. and in all the
years of his experience in every
part of grange rule he has never
heard of any attempt to
violate or ignore the “rules of
the order." So. good friends.
rest in peace. there is no such
thing. neither can there be. as a
granger candidate. But there is
no regulation which prevents the
patrons from voting for a man of
the opposite party than that to
which he belongs. or has hitherto
associated.if he believes it to be
for the interest of grange princi-
ples that he should do so. There
has been and still is in existence
several associations under the
name of '*Farmers’ Alliance,”
but the principal organization
under that name about which we
have heard so much during the
last year is the National Farm-
ers’ Alliance and Industrial Union
of which L. L. Polk is president.
This is an Agricultural. Finan-
cial and Political Alliance.

There are two Farmers’ Leagues
in this state; one is formed on
the plan of the political party
with a state committee; the other

Ethe dew woke up in the hammock

[Through those burnished gates

fflowcr a censer. Every bird a
chorister. Every sight. beauty.
Every sound. music. Trees
transligured. The skies in con-
flagration. The air. as if
sweeping down from hanging-
gardens of Heaven. The foam
of celestial seas plashed on the
white tops of the spirzea. The
honeysuckle on one side of the
porch challenges the sweet-brier
on the other. The odors of

heliotrope over-flow the urns
and flood the garden. Syringas.

I with bridal blossoms in their hair.
land roses bleeding with a very
carnage of color. Oh. the glo-

dors seem like swords unsheath-
ed by angel hands to drive us in.

Let us Reason Together.

Preceding the injunction, “Let
us reason together," is the little
word “Come.” “Come let us
reason together." Signifying let
us get affectionately and educa-
tionally nearer each other before
we reason together; or in order
that we can reason together, let
us get nearer mind to mind, soul
to soul. It seems to me that
Christian flocks are coming so
near together that in a day not
far away there will be but one
Lord,onefaith. one baptism. Not
many years ago there seemed an
ocean of strife. hate. estrange-
ment between the man called
Democrat and the man called Re-
publican;to—day and to the Patron,
there is but a rivulet between.
spanned by a little foot plank
called the Grange. It rests on
the shores of both parties, over
which all are free to come and go
as they will—a little pledge and
plank that binds in sweet com-
munion. in courteous reasoning.
If I be of one party and you of
another, please don’t ascribe to
me any partisan motive when I
beg that the plank be allowed to
remain; for the kindly. gracious
intermingling of people of all
churches, all parties, all discreet
opinions can but result in wider
Christianity. purer citizenship
and better. more reliable opinion.
How tender, economic and wise

smallest proportion of mules. 2.41

32.04 per cent, as against (37.06
per cent of horses.

The figures of the tables given
in this bulletin are those of the
regular agricultural scliedulcs
taken by the census enumcrators.
who obtained the statistics of
farms of thrce or more acres.
Two other important classes of
this kind of live stock are Hiero-
fore not included here, viz: First.
that upon the great ranges cover-
ing a vast region of country. em-
bracing portions of a dozen or
more states and territories: and.
second. that owned in cities.
villages, and on small holdings
of less than three acres.

Next in importance to the farm
itself are the animals used in per-
forming its work. It is also from
the farm that the supplies are
drawn which furnish the millions
of animals needed for business
and pleasure in all the cities,
villages. and hamlets of’ the coun-
try.

A study of the figures of Table
1 shows that in the North Atlan-
tic division New York and Penn-
sylvania are close together in the
lead as producers of horses.
There were foalded in 188!) in
New York state ‘.37.-.<,$)*.';l horses.
and in Pennsylvania ;'>£L.'i:~l‘_’.
Maine and Vermont have also
kept close together. there having
been foaled in 1{*$H9}'n Maine 9.-
156 horses, and in Vermont fl, 900$).

The percentage of increase of’
horses from 18>’-<0 to 1890 is shown
to be 44.5%). very close to the in-
crease from lt-€70 to 1880. which
was 44.95. The percentage of
increase of mules for the same
periods is ‘_’6.fi(i and 61.08. It
It will thus be seen that, taking
the whole country into considera-
tion. the mule is not keeping
pace with the horse as a farm
animal; but reference to the table
shows that the mule grows in
favor and use in several of the
southern states faster than the
horse. One reason for the change
in the eastern. northern, central,
and western states is probably
the falling off in the profits of
agriculture during the past de-
cade, causing the farmer to
economize in many ways. The
price of horses has held up better
than of most classes of farm stock
during the past ten years. A
team of mares can do the farm
work and raise a pair of colts
each year. so mares have taken
the place of mules on tens of
thousands of farms.

Time to Call a. Halt.

   

The custom of managers of
fairs in getting up a sensation
on some special day or days of
our fairs has become so chronic
that we think that a halt is in

We are of the opinion that
there is too much mont-_v pu‘. in
premiums for liorsc racing and
too little for horse walking at
o1n' fairs. After visiting some
of our fairs. of late years. it has
seemed to us a debatable (pics-
tion as to whether the benefits re-
ceived would balance the other
influences inculcated in the minds
of the rising generation.

Why do not the press of the
country cry down these prac-
tices at our fairs‘!

Duties On Luxuries.

A great deal of space has bm-n
taken up in the papers lately
with tl1cdctailsof,' the si<-zurc of
Mrs. Astor‘s dues and the ln-avy
duty i(‘\'l(‘(l. on Mr. \'a.mlo1-bilt‘s
yacht. The art dt-alers. too. have
had considerable to say about the
duty on pictures iniportwd. The
quostioii naturally 2LI'lS4‘s as to
why Mrs. Astor and Mr. \'and«-,r-
bilt and the buyers of oxpc-i1si\'e
pictures should not pay roundly
for their luxuries. 'l‘lierc is surc-
ly no better place to lay duties
than on the things which are en-
joyed by thc rich. This govern-
ment has to be supported. and ii‘
Mrs. Astorcliooses to sole-ct l“eli.\'
as her dress1nak<~r, she can \\’('ll
afford to pay for the satisfiu-tion
of doing so. And if' Mr. Vander-
bilt thinks the forcign built boats
are better than llerrcscl1oi't"s. he
is quite able to indulge his fancy.

Again. the satisfaction that a
(.'-()I'()t—----+*\'-m agenuinc one gives

its American owner is too of'ti-,n
obtained from the price. l'1Ltl1vl'
than from the artistic merit of
the picture itself.

Duties levied on luxuries are
laid for the purpose of raising
the revenue without hardship to
the importers; and no HLXUS are
more just or more judicious. It
is very fine to talk about free art:
but it is far better that the rich
man's pictures should pay for

V1si'ron:—Being a reader of your
paper for a good many years but
never seeing any mention of
Pokagon Grange No. 4;’, thought
I would tell you we are alive and
doing well: thirty members. all
first class, especially the good
brothers who are ever willing to
do all they can to make the
Grange a success. our Grange
members beingactive and energe-
tic in all their work.

By a series of soeials we re-
plenished our treasury, the re-
sult being a nice new organ. We
buy most of our groceries through
the Grange which is less expen-
sive, and convenient. The social
part is the beautiful part of the
Grange, and the one most en-
joyed.

If you do not consign this to
the waste basket will come again.

Has it ever occurred to you
that everything in life has more

than one side? That while wt

are discussing the pros and cons

of one side our neighbors are dis
secting the other.

Did you ever pick up a pebble
to e.\:aniine it. an(1 look at only
the one side‘! or did you at once
begin turning it over and over to
pass an opinion upon all sides?
Did you ever pick up a piece of
paper without turning it over to
see the other side? Did you ever
buy a suit of clothes with just a

look at one side of them?

VVe would not think of doing
any of these. and yet these are
only the minor affairs compared

with the larger things of life.

If the same treatment was given
to them; if we carefully looked

decisions. we would be much

more satisfied with our work.

Hasty conclusions are the ruin of
millions. Hasty transactions sel-

dom pay

The heights which 0urgreat-
est men have reached and kept
were not attained by sudden
flights. but they. while their com-
panions slept, were toiling up-

ward in the night.

A man who is slow in making
a promise is much more apt to
keep it than a man who will prom-

ise you anything in a moment.
George McDonald wrote:
one will hope as long as he can.

and when he cannot hope, walk
on in the dark, he will be sur-
prised when the sun rises upon
him to see how far he has gone."

Because a thing looks well
when figured by an expert is no

sign that it has no drawbacks.

Turn it carefully over in your

own mind and figure loss versus
gain. A little loss here, and an-
other there, hurts the balance
sheet wonderfully.

The city gentleman as he drives
by the rural home wonders that
the farmer is such a grumbler. No
need of hard times there with
such a. chance of money-making

Discouraging for the Boys.

The following is from a “Girl's
Compos'.tion on Boys":

Boys is men that have not got
as big as their papas. and girls
is young women that will be
young ladies by and by. * 
Man was made before "woman.
When God looked at Adam He
said to Himself. “Well. I guess
I can do better than that if I try
again." and then He made Eve.
God liked Eve so much better
than He did Adam that there has
been more women in the world
than men ever since. * * Boys
is a trouble. They is very wear-
ing on everything but soap.  *
If I could have my way half the
boys in the world would be little
girls and the other half would be
dolls. * * My papa is so nice
to me that I guess he must have
been a girl when he was a little
boy.——Woman's Tribune. '

Round About.

The byways are glorious with
goldeirrod and fall flowers. Have
you ever ii'()ticed the deepening
color in wild flowers as the year
ages? In spring the blossoms
are white and sweet. not over
large. but looking as if they
feared they had raslily come to
earth: summer sends the tints of
the wild roses and lilies. while
autumn gives the gorgeous reds
and yellows that brighten every
country road. Yellow appears
to be natui‘e's pet color. See the
tansy. St. .Iohn‘swort. fall dande-
lion. the golden-rod and more at
every turn. Nature riots in gay
blooms. and when blossoms are
gone She still shows her fondness
for them by dressing the forests
in reds, yellows. and all tints be-
tween. The woods are a feast to
one's eyes. for their colors never
jar. The blues and greens of na-
ture are in accord. and shades
that. made by man. “kill each
other." in blossoms agree. as if
to say no quarrel comes within

What Keeps Women Young.

A woman is happy just in pro-
portion as she is content. writes
Edward W. Bok. in the Septem-
ber Ladies’ Home Journal. The
sun has a way of changing the
spots‘ upon that which it shines.
Especially is this true of our
land, where one is up to-day
and down to—morrow. and vice
versa. The wisest woman is she
who trusts in a to—morrow. but
never looks for it. To sit down
and wish that this might; be, that
that would be difierent. does a
woman no good. It does her
harm. in that it makes her dis-
satisfied with herself. unpleasant
to her friends, and makes her old
before her time. Happiness is
not always increased in propor-
tion to enlarged success. This
may sound like an old saw, and I
think it is. but there is a world of
wisdom in many an old proverb
just the same. Contentment is a
wonderful thing to cultivate.
There would be fewer prem ature—
old women in the world if it was
given more of a trial and it be-
came a more universal quality in
womanhood.

A home is what a woman makes
it. A daughter in nine cases
out of every ten. the i*ellect.ion of
her mother. The training of the
girl of fifteen is shown in the wo-
man of fifty. A son may. by con-
tact with the rough world. some-
times outlive his early home in-
fluences~a daughter rarely does.
She may make amisstep. Indis-
cretion may be to her anecessary
teacher; but her early doiuestic
training will manifest itself
sooner or later. A mother's word.
a domestic proverb. told at even-
tide by the quiet fireside, has
been recalled by many a woman
years after it \'Ll.S uttered. “I
thank God that my inotlier told
me what other women have bettn
taught by the world." said a gen-
tlewoman to me not long ago.
This. my friend.  the tribute
which your daughter and mine
should be able to pay to our
in+,-niories long after we are gone.
The world has a sharp way of
teacliing its truths to a girl. Is
it not far better. then. that her
mother should tell her, with that
sweet and sympathetic grace and
gentleness which only a mother
knows? Let the world build upon
your foundation. but do you lay
the ground-story. Any builder
will tell you that the whole
strength of a house depends upon
its foundation.

GERMAN
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. Oberho1tzer’s Sons
ck Co., Phtenixville, Pa, and sold at

The Possibility of Mechanical
Flight.

Above us is the }_§1'e:it zicrizil
ocean. stretching over all lands,
and oiifering ziii :sl'.‘.é?.ys open way
to them. yet it way that has never
yet been thus trodden. Can it be
that the power we have always
lacked is at last found, and that
it only remains to learn to guide‘!

Let me. in answering. compare
the case to that which would
present itself if the actual ocean
had never been traversed becziu so
it was always covered with fields
of thin ice. which gave way under
the foot. which indeed permitted
vessels to be launclied and to
float. but which compelled them
to move wlierever the ice drifted.
Such vessels would resemble our
balloons. and be of as little
przicticzil use; but now suppose
we are told. “The ice which has
always been your obstacle may
be made your very means of
transport, for you can glide over
the thinnest ice, provided you
only glide fast enough, and ex-
periments will prove not only
how fast you must go to make
the ice bear, but that it is quite
within the limits of your strength
to go with the requisite speed.”
All this might be true. and yet if
no one had ever learned to skate.
every trial of this really excellent
plan would probably end in
disaster, as all past efforts to fly
have done. Indeed. in our actual
experience with the air, men have
come to the same kind of wrong
conclusion as would have been
reached in supposing that the ice
could not be traversed, because
no one had the strength to skate,
while the truth would be t-liat
man has plenty of strength to
skate, but is not born with the
skill.

The simile is defective so far
as it suggests that man can sus-
tain himself by his unaided
strength on calm air, which I
believe to be impracticable, but
it is the object of these experi-
ments to prove that he has now
the power to sustain himself with
the aid of engines recently con-
structed, and by means Iiiidicate.
as soon as he has skill to direct
them.

If asked whether this method
of flight will soon be put in prac-
tice, I should have to repeat that
what has preceded is matter of
demonstration. but that this is
matter of opinion. Expressino‘.
then, a personal opinion only, I
should answer, “Yes." It is
hardly possible that these second-
ary difficulties will not be soon
conquered by the skill of our in-

ventors and engiiieei-s. Wll()St’} zit-

Central American Timber.

Colonel E. H. Mor1'iso11,' who
has recently returned from
Nicaragua, in an interview. in ii.
Seattle paper, called attention to
the fact tliat when the construc-
tion of the big canal got fairly
under way. a large aiuount of
lumber would be wanted from the
Puget Sound mills. He pointed
out that there was no lumber in
Central America suitable for the
purpose. The hard woods in-
digenous to that country are not
found in such quanities as to be
cheaply logged.

A mistaken impression is
abroad in regard to the forests
of that section. People have a
general idea. that great tracts of
country" are covered with splen-
did trees. so that one can go into
the forests anywhere and cut

"Each Pomona Grange shall
be entitled to representation in
the State Grange by one brother
and his wife, if a member of a
Pomona Grange, but each Pomona
Grange shall bear the expenses
of representatives so sent by such
Pomona Grange."

by the "failure of a few Granges
to report for quarter ending
March 31st. lHtl1. they are not
named in the above list. A card.
stating this fact. has been sent
Secretaries of those G-ranges.
and they may yet secure rep-
resentation in the State Grange
by a prompt response. A receipt
for dues for that quarter. with
the endorsment, "Entitled to
Representation” will be sent all
secretaries remitting between
this date and Oct. 6.

Masters may very properly
look after this matter and know
that their Granges are entitled
to representation.

As Master of the State Grange
I would caution you to be mind-
ful of your moorings, stand solid-
ly on the basis already laid and
from which success is being
achieved as fast as authorized by
our strength and efforts. Fight
your political battles openly with
those differing with you, and

should decisions be rightfully

‘ rendered against you abide them

cheerfully. \Vhenever political
primaries are called. do not let
business or pleasure prevent your
attendance. Here is where the
work is done. and when you lose
this you must submit to defeat.
While it isa fact that Pomona
and Subordinate Granges llave
theright to discuss every politicill
issue. accept or condemn the ac-
tion of representatives and sug-
gest lines of legislation. yet they
hold no authority to recommend
or nominate men for oflice. estab-
lish or favor any political party.
By such action their charters are
subjected to forfeiture. Whatever
we want or whatever demands
are on us can be met best by co-
operation in the Grange. Are you
ready.’ Will you help in the
progress zuvaiting your action?

The Alliance has pursued a

course in its work and adopted

by resolutions a policy which!’

widely separates it from the
Grange: and while we do not lose
any of our fraternal regard for
its principles and the workers
tliereiu. we cannot unite with

them on two measures of their.

preference. known as the sub-
treasury and third party schemes.
They are antagonistic to the
fundamental doctrine and prac-

They do not conform to the spirit

Politics. to a politician. means
the instrumentality by which an
office is procured. To the great
mass of the people. it means a
way by which rights are protect-
ed, liberties preserved and inter-
ests advanced. To a partisan, it
means the blind following of the
leadership of men whose chief
concern is their own welfare and
self aggrandisement.——Farmers’

A. $90 BUGGTY FoRit7oi

Here is the. opportunity you ha.ve been looking for. A stylish.
durable top buggy. painted in lead and oil. no dip finish. The
buggy has been thoroughly testetl for over ten years on all kinds
of roads and in all kinds of service. Its easy riding qualities and
adaptability to roads has been fully deinonstrated.

The demand for a good side-spring buggy has been gradually
growing for several years. and there have been several new springs
put on the market i11 consequence. The mostof these have proved
failures. the construction being such that there was no chance for
the side-spring to lengthen when loaded. hence the motion was
short and sharp. or the gear was thrown out of "track." In the
"l.Volverine" these objections are avoided. There are four springs
which are put together in such manner that each is allowed full
play without straining any part ol' the gear. It has a wrought
iron fifth wheel. clip kingbolt. and a double reach. Everv buggy
should have a. well braced reach to make it keep in “tracl{.‘

The Git.-\.\:(;i-1 Visi'l‘o1: has made arrangements with the manu-
facturer. Arthur Wood. of Grand Rapids. to sell to subscribers to
this paper the above buggy at a price within the reach of every
farmer who needs a buggy. We have examined every part of the
works. and stake the reputation of the VISITOR on the good quali-
ties of every job. A two—horse two-seated wagon with tlll'ee
springs, just right to take the family to church. for $55.00.

Hear what those say who have used them:

After using one two years, Dr. H. H. Power, of Saranac. writes as follows: “There is nothing 1.’)
compare with the ‘\\’olverinr-.' for ease. comfort and durability."

COLDWATER. Mi(‘.h., April 24th. 1S()i—Sonie yr-ars ago I purchased two single bugizics of Arthur
‘Need, of Grand Rapids, and found them to be strong and durable. They have been in use eight or
ten years, and h.'1\'e proved to be satisfactory in all respects. CYRUS C. I-[‘CE.

PAW l~’.uv, May 1st, 1.‘lyr—In 1575 I purchased an open buggy of Arthur‘ VVood. It has been in con-

stant use since and promises several years service. I have now ordered one of the V\‘olverine top
buggies on the reputation they sustain for excellence, workmanship and durability. J. C. GOIYLIL

Send the money to the editor of this paper, and the buggy will
be sent direct from the factory.
