JAN. 1, 1892 Eighty Acre Farms. Read before the l"annL-rs‘ Association, of Am- wcrp and Paw Paw. Dec. 3d. H91, by l-;.li. VVclch. In this paper I will attempt to give only a few thoughts that occur to me on a subject that sooner or later we may all have to consider. If what I may say may provoke a lively discussion I shall feel satisfied. By eighty acre farms I wish to be understood as recommending small farms. They may vary in size to meet the requirements of different circumstances. With us in this vicinity I believe that 20 acres and 120 acres are the two extremes. As we go east. we find the farms decrease in acre age. till we reach the New Eng- land states we find them so small that we can hardly believe that people can realize they do. on so small an acreage. In Europe We find the farms so small and farming so intense that we think it marvelous that a family can exist on a piece of land hardly larger than we might devote to a garden. I need not mention the methods employed to enable them to realize as they do. The ex- planation would show that the thoroughness of cultivation and economy in use of products of the small farm. would be the main points of contrast between their methods and ours On a large farm you can not make each one do its best. You can- not keep it so rich, you can not till it so thoroughly, nor can you harvest its yield so well and handle it to so good an advantage as you can that of the small farm. I do not need to remind you of the reckless waste on a large farm, of time wasted by hired men, crops wasted in one harvest- ing, and short crops from lack of cultivation during a busy season. I really believe the waste on a farm of 300 acres to be sufficient to maintain a good sized family in very decent style, all of which is lost and no one benefited in any way. The small farm is worked and kept in subjection by its owner who studies it and stimulates it. and 1‘eali_ze~s f_r0In it accordingjly. *i'iié""l.;l’;;e " farm ‘works A the owner; as a usual case it does not stimulate him. and he realizes from it as he might expect from a poorly planned, half tilled farm. with which he has no very in- timate acquaintance. Small farms tend to make their owners better observers. If he is dependent 011 the yield of a small acreage. he will study the causes and effects. the most profitable crops, best varieties and best, methods of‘ cultivating them, It will be a source of satisfaction for him to state averages per acre rather than total harvest-. He will be more careful, more observing. more thorough in all his undertakings and consequent- ly more successful. Lage farms mean distant neigh- bors and fewer families in a township. to the detriment of in- dividuals and towns. The labor on a large farm is usually per- formed by men who have no families and who often use their wages to no advantage. Or if they be saving. they have to go elsewhere to find investment. Large farms do not admit of near neighbors nor near social rela- tions. but tend more to produce rivalry in amount of land owned and more of a feeling of strife than good fellowship. The feel- ing would be more commendable were it directed toward increas- ing the average yield of a smaller farm: then would the whole coin- munity be benefitted by the out- come. Then, too. the investment of surplus capital in adjoining farms is not usually a profitable one. Why should we invest in more land when we are not thoroughly tilling that which we already own to the best advantage. Better loan our sur- plus money, and keep our small farms on a paying basis. than to extend our farm at the risk of shortening profit on all. Large farms do not allow the farmer enough time for him to keep well informed 011 matters of state and society. He is al- ways hurried, usually worried. and never feels as if he had a leisure moment. He sees and does everything as one who runs. He can never be authority on any question. but simply be the possessor of a smattering of gen- eral information of which he finds but little that will interest and may possess general information. but not accurate. In my belief he has not the situation nor cir- cumstances to make him as happy and useful a man as less land would allow him to be. And I believe that we should be more content with smaller acreage. but always aiming to do the best with what we already have. My belief in smaller farms is so strong that I feel to-day that had I not departed from the 80 acre limit several year ago. I might present a paper for your con- sideration that would be of deep- er interest than I am now able to. - ———————<—o~>—-——-~-~ Cheap Meat. On careful computation it has been found that it costs only five or six cents per pound to produce chicken meat. As such meat is preferable in most homes to that of and other kind. it is evident that it is the part of economy for the farmer or any other man that can keep a flock of hens. to pro- vide all the chicken meat for his household that can be consumed. This, with an abundance of eggs. will be found to greatly reduce the cost of provisions used by the family. We have said that the cost would be five or six cts. per pound, but this is figuring all the grain at the highest prices. and as everything having to be purchased. The fact is, that with the averege farmer a pound of chicken meat does not cost more than one—third of this. for the food fed does not cost the price of merchantable grain. There are enough unmarketable by pro- ducts of the farm to keep a large flock. If the farmer has a flock of fowls consisting of one breed he can generally afford to let them run at large at this time of the year. Most of these farmers have grain fields, and from the harvesting operations much of the grain is scattered on the fields, and this the fowls will delight to pick up. profiting both by the food and the exercise in obtain- ing it. Then. again. on most farms during the year many hogs ‘-and‘ Ui.l1t‘.i" aluimals ‘are slaughtered. and the offal. if saved and put into shape for the fowls. will become a source of considerable profit. There is another source of supply, and that is the frequent abundance of half. rotted fruit. which the hens will gladly "pure and core" for it. With the addition of the table leavings tlicse items great- ly reduce the cost of the meat per pound. fill the sum for sup- porting a hundred hens small indeed. It then seems strange that on so many farms the poultry yard is neglected. the farmer con- tenting himself with the observa- tion that he “is chasing larger game.“ Institute VV3rki.n Michigan. The State Board of Agriculture has organized an innovation in the direction of farmers‘ insti- tutes. In addition to the 20 which will only continue two evenings and one day. there will be held two—~one at Buchanan in the southwestern part of the State, and one at Rochester in the eastern middle portion—— which will begin on Monday evening and continue day and evening. closing on Friday night. These two meetings are more truthfully schools of instruction for farmers. It is expected that farmers will very largely attend. be properly enrolled and stay through the week. Important themes of general interest will be studied and discussed. both from the scientific and the prac- tical side. Such substantial thinkers as Drs. Kedzie. Miles and Beal. and President C-lute of the Agricultural College. to- gether with several of the ex- periment station force who have been making special investiga- tions in ag'ricultural lines during the season, will read papers and take part in the discussions. The several subjects will have a cer- tain hour of each day set apart for their consideration. and be called up in regular order of time: so that opportunity to digest the present thought will be given before another phase of the sub- ject is presented. These two meetings are experi- ments to test the interest in them among intelligent farm co1nmuni- ties; and if they prove such a success as seems now certain. the institute energy in the future r instruct those about him. Heiwill be largely expended along this line of work. The State has now been so thoroughly itinerat- ed by the ordinary farmers‘ in- stitute, that almost every county has its institute association which holds an independent meeting every winter, with such unbound- ed success that the State meetings in the older sections have no further ‘-mission" to perform among those farmers. This state of things has compelled some effort at advancement along this line. The first meeting. at Buchanan, on the M. C. R. R., begins on Monday evening, Jan. 4. and the one at Rochester the week following. The hotels and citizens at each of these places will entertain those in attendance at very cheap rates. The State pays for use of hall.lighting and janitor work. furnishes the speak- ers and pays their bills: so that those in attendance will 11ot be called upon to pay any part of the expense. It is hoped that this will be an incentive for many farmers from a distance to at- tend and stay through the week. Much of the work done at our ordinary institutes is merely sug- gestive and not thorough. It is intended that good solid informa- tion shall be given on the ques- tions up for consideration, by men who have a reputation for scientific attainments. Hon. C. W. Garfield of the State Board has charge of these meetings. which is a suflicient guarantee that the -interest will not be allowed tr wane or to lag. Twenty short institutes will be held in the State, and they are already ocated They are grouped series of four each in contiguous territory. A series will occupy a‘ week. beginning on Monday evening at one end of the line. JThe part of the force from the fcollege. who open the institut-e.1go on to the next on Tuesday."to open the second. and are followed by the closing force of‘ the first. At the last meeting on Friday, the whole force get together by afternoon and are at the finishlin the evening. and re- turn ht yea::1.tu1'da,v. The faculty of the college is divided. so that no member will have more than two weeks of itinerating. Some of them. however. will add the duties of the two long meetings to their other work. Applications for institutes are still coming v from the newer counties. and the whole winter could be <-mployed if the force and the appropriation \'\'(‘1’F‘. large enough. The farmers of the State were never so well organized as now. The (‘rrange and the 'l<‘ar1ners‘ ‘ Club are everywhere. and they 5 are the basis and the backbone? of every rural enterprise. Appli- ‘ cations for institutes have their inspiration in these organizations, and the preliminary meetings for arranging progrmes find those present, and scarely ever any one else. The unorganized farmer slips into the institute in an apologetic way, takes a back seat. and makes his speech on the way home. The organized farmer gets toward the front pews. asks ques- tions. and very likely has the answer bubbling within him for expression. He has been learn- ing scientific terms also during the last decade. and can get down to the meat of an intricate ques- tion regarding fertility. or the effect of manures and their appli- cation, in a way to astonish the back—numbers of the neighbor- hood. In a recent trip among the farmers in the south part of the State, I find a very complaisant‘ feeling among them regarding present conditions. There is very M little of that grumbling spirit so ; rampant a year or two ago. Those who have sold their wheat f generally sold at the dollar mark, and those who hold have a solid grip upon it. waiting yet for the dollar or more. The east half of the State, along its southern bor- der. had more rain previous to sowing wheat than fell west of them, and the growing crop shows the effects of it in larger growth and better color. Snow enough has fallen to make fair sleighing, and the thermometer this morn- ing was down to 10°. Indica- tions too uncertain for predic- tions.—A. C.

Rural Ma.ilDelivery—Fra.ctiona1 Currency. I have always advocated the idea of free mail delivery for the farmer. as well as the city mer- chant. Even at the risk of being called a “crank" on the subject have I contended for a system for the country delivery similar to that of the city. Now that the cities have their handy mail facili- ties, it is about time that the rural districts receive a little at- tention in that direction' Post- master-general Wanamaker has taken the right step. The lack of better facilities in the country cannot all be laid at Uncle Sam's door. The farmers and those living in more romotc places must shoulder the greater part of the blame. Did not the cities see the necessity of better facilities, and were they not quick to adopt better methods. the re. sult of which is the system of perfect postal service‘.’ Then .why does the country remain so ,unconcerned‘.’ If we follow the {example of our city brethern. we ;can have as good mail facilities. -l<‘ariners should take hold of the ~ matter. talk it up at every oppor- ftunity. write their congressman 1 to put the matter before congress ‘and secure the legislation to em- power the posfmastcr-general to gput a system of free delivery in . operation.

The above property is not very valuable as the mare is worth nothing except for work on the farm. but I am anxious to secure the same. as it will likely furnish a clue to a gang of tliievos, and I ask every good citizen to co- operate in the effort by putting just many men to looking for the property as possible.

The boy who is wanted in flu- ibusiness world of to-day must be jeducated, says Russell Sage in gan admirable article on "The ;Boy That is VVanted." in the No- lvember Ladies Home Journal. §If his parents cannot afford to égive him a high-school or college ;education. he must learn to study lwithout the aid of a teacher. in ‘ the early morning before business :begins, and in the evenings after business hours. It can no longer lbe truthfully said that an educa- ,tion is o11t of any one's reach. Our splendid school system. ; l possible that the outfit will in-. .where one can study by day or -' in the evening. has put the price- less treasure of an education ‘within the reach of all. The main thing. in the beginning. that I would impress upon boys -is one of the great command- ments, "Honor thy father and thy mother. that thy days may be long in the land which the . Lord thy (Zod giveth thee.“ The boy who respects his father and , mother. who treats his sisters and fbrothers with loving kindness. ,has laid a good foundation for a fsuccessful career. Go to school fas long as you can, and. remem- fiber. every hour spent in study in , your youth will be worth money Qto you in after life. Read good *' books—the Bible above all. Make 1 yourself acquainted with history. 5 If you have no library of yourown. §jOlI1 one of the nu1nerou.s associa- ;tions to be found in all cities. ‘where good. helpful books may ;’be obtained. Learn to read in- :7 telligently, so that you may turn E to practical account in after life lthe readings of your youth. Be lsure you begin right. Do not- lspend time lbooks. ‘D in reading trashy K6?‘ ’ _.. JAN. 1,1892 iATRoN’s MANUFACTURER OF INGERSOLL’S LIQUID RUBBER PAINT.

Ul~‘ THE 'r.\x LAW. VVe are opposed to the calling together of the legislature for the purpose of repealing the tax law enacted at the last session of that body. As we said a year ago in refer- ence to the McKinley bill; when a law has been fully and fairly discussed and passed by a legisla- tive body. and duly considered and signed by the executive. we are opposed to its repeal until its provisions are fairly tried by actual operation. The present law may be defec- tive. and its operation may prove oppressive. but until its defects are determined by actual trial and its effect shall become apparent from its actual operation. a re- peal would leave the legislature with no more knowledge to guide them in passing the new law than they had when they passed the present one. We therefore tender our thanks to His Excellency. the Governor. for his refusal to yield to the clamor of newspa- pers and loaning agents in their efforts to oondem n the law untried. J. G.

Executive (loiiiniittee. —-1 0 ¢— The Grange in Politics. The American Grange Bulletin of December ll contains a letter from Secretary John Trimble ad- dressed to Mr. Charles W. Martin. of Indianapolis. and written in answer to certain inquiries made by the latter gentleman relative to the St. Louis convention of February 22 next, in which Mr. Trimble distinctly states that the use of the name of the Grange or the Patrons of Husbandry in the call for this convention is un- authorized. He says further that while the members of this Order are free to affiliate. as citizens, with any party that will represent their in- terests they cannot under the terms of their organization. and as a body. take part in any con- vent-ion bearing upon or looking to partisan action. The Secretary is especially anxious to have this matter thoroughly understood. for the reason that systematic efforts have been made in various quar- ters to place the National Grange in a false light before the coun- try in this regard, thus misrep- resenting the principles to which they have given their solemn ad- herence. It does not follow that the Grange has no opinions upon the leading questions of the day. On the contrary. its views have been repeatedly and forcibly ex- pressed. but it holds that these views can best be promoted through other than independent political action. Consequently the Grange will stand aloof from all party schemes that are calcu- lated to distract its counsels and weaken rather than strengthen the beneficial influence of the Order.—~VVashington Post. -——}o>»— -s— - Men and woincii pi'(iiii:ifiii'cly grit)‘ wliosc hair was falling, are eiitliusinstic in praising Hall's Hair Renewcr for re- storing the color and preventing bald- iicss.

Just so far as the body is weakened by dissipation or neglect just so far it fails to support the mind and incapaci- tates it to perform the duties of life. And a ruined body and a ruined mind are useless to the individual. to God and to society. The body is the foundation and support on which rests all the grand achievements of earth. Next we are to cultivate the mind. Lesson upon lesson is given by our ritual on this point. All our iinpleiiients of labor have a meaning atached to them more, than the literal. The mind is represented as ground or a ficld which is to be cultivated: some philosophers have put it on a more extended scale and call it a continent with all its diversities. b‘wedenborg says it is a universe in miniatu1'e. Uur ritual recog- nizes the same in principle. And all this is to be explored and cul- tivated; The rough places are to be made smooth and the dark jungles of ignorance are to be cleared away and all that is ob- jectionable destroyed. .-\..nd eternity itself will not be too long to complete this task. for there is a field for investigation that stretchcs from us to the Iii- finite yet all unknown. while the poivers to receive will never be e.\'hausted. A-nd coinmencing with the practical. it is in this grand field for investigation and discovery that we are urged by the ritual. But there is a moral nature also. and we are told by our ritual that it is the object of our order to develop the highest con- ditions of morals. We are to keep ourselves unspotted from the world. As far as this life is con- cerned we are to so live that the world cannot truthfully charge us with any unworthy thought. or word. or act or motive. From a worldly point of view this alone would be moral perfection. And what a revolution almost incon- ceivably grand this would be if society everywhere could be put in this condition. and every one could put im-plicitconfidcn(w.e in his brother. But after all this might be but simple justice. and our ritual goes still farther and enjoins the fulfilling of the golden rule in our benevolence. We are to visit t-he fa-therless and the widow, and cloth the naked and feed the hungry. Or in other words we are to do just all in our power to relieve the sufferings of human- ity. Our Heavenly Father has provided enough for all; and all that it wants is generous hands and loving hearts everywhere to dispence, and human suffering would be reduced to minimum. and God would be with us and the millennium here. But our ritual goes still farther and de- signs spiritual culture. or to put us in harmony with God. This is implied in our devotional exercises, our salutatiion. the oft repeated quotations from inspira- tion, in the inj unction that we pos- sess the fruits of the spirit, charity or love which is the bond of per- fectness. the end of the law the those present. lhe company gathered around the tables and partook of a siiinptous feast. Bro. Dean was a charter member of the Grange at North Star and during these eighteen years has been its most constant member. proving when a private just as faithful in attendance and zeal- ous in Grange work as when he was filling any of the many offices that he has been called to. This observance of his birthday by the Grange shows their ap- preciation of his long and faith- ful service in the Order. E. Fl{A.\'Kl’.l.\', Sony. .\’orth Star. Hriitiot Co. —- Still Sensible. I l Thc Michigan State (irange is ldisplaying its usual good sense this year. The report of the cciitivc Committee shows the Ur- der to be singularly free from poli- tical fads and crazes. It declare-s against the free coina_:je of silver for three reasons. all good ones: The profit of the government stamp. if’ they is any. should inure to the benefit of the people. instead of to tho bullion owner; it would contract the volume of currency by driving out the gold now in circulation csf.in1atcd at $Tll().0I)(l: it would throw nearly the whole burden of raising silver to a par with gold upon the farin- ers of.tlic United States. Tlie latter reason is an iniportant con- sideration fro the :igri.culti.1ral classes. it follows the course of one of their fundamental doc- trinessthat all wealth springs from the soil. The report also condemns the sub—treasi.iry schemes. ~—Detroit Journal. 409 -~-~ Extract from President (J. W.

The man who makes his thou- sands in a single deal in real estate. who has added nothing intrin- sically to the value of the. land. may. because of his dollars. cut a wide swath in the coniinunity; but I count of far greater value to the world one who. though the study of natures‘ possibilities. brings out an added flower or fruit of value to mankind: and while dealers in stocks and bonds and lumber and land may laugh in derision at our enthusiasm over a new peach that fills a place in the succession of fruits. or a new chrysanthemum with added at- tractions of form or color. we can in our ecstasy sorrow a little that so few of the people in this world know how to get the highest pleasure out of life by living near to natures heart. There is a wonderful field for im- provement in the objects with which we deal. and the more we add to our knowledge of the things that lie nearest to us, the wider will open before us the door to that wealth of information. the acquire- ment of which will give to us the keenest delight. ,. .___¢ 09*. . Mark Twain, Af11t‘l'lCZl.'S gl'C:l.i(iS[‘. lin- morist, has just written a new stor_v entitled: “The American Clainiant," which will begin in The Detroit Joiirnzil of Saturday, January 2d. To the great: delight of all lovers of pure wit. that cclebratct.l c.li:1r:ictei', Col. l\luli)ci'i'y Sellers, will re:i.ppcar as the. hero of this story. but with entirely new and dra- matic surrouiidings. as to the amount of such increasi- and as to the kind of currency that should be issued. (‘ongrc.ss- man Harst proposes to increase the currency and make it elastic by a system of free banking; the grunge opposes that and gives its reasoiis. Senator Stewart pro posed to open the mints to the free and unlimited coinage of sil- ver; flie grunge opposes that method and gives its reasons. Senator Stanfor(l and the farm- ers‘ alliance proposes to increase the currency to the extent of one billion dollars by issuing fiat money to that extent and loaning iit out on farm mortgages: the (lrzinge is opposed to that meth- od and gives its reasons. So far I believe the (lraiigc and the Tribune agree. The Grange then undertakes to show how the ciirrciicy may be increased to any extent necessary without resort to either of these methods. We point to the fact that -"$l()().~ 0()t),lJl)U in gold floats $2,’-lt3.()(’)().()()() of greenbacks at par with gold as well in Europe. beyond the "fiat“ powcr of the government as here. and we iiifer from this fact that the $1-l0.U()0,()l)0 in gold in the treasury now set apart for the redemption of a like amount in gold certificates. if used as a redemption fund would float at par with gold a proportionate aniouiit in trczLsu1'y dc-iiiand iiotes. that is $1.-‘~l.lIl)'I).lll.lil. which would be $211 i.()l)()_()H() more than is now outstandiiig. Then we say in a paragrapli by itself: “Thus if iieccssary the ('l1'(3lll:LllIl;{ inedi- uin inay be increased to the ex- tent of $5H4.()()0.0()U upon a gold basis without reference to an ounce of silver in the treasury." The use of the qualifying words "if necessa1'y" we deemed asufii- cient indication that we doubted such necessity. To further an- swer the inflatioiiists of the Stan- ford and alliance order we under- took to show that there was enough specie in the treasury if used as a redemption fund to float at par demand ti~eu.~:ury notes even to a greater extent than they asked without recourse to their wild and ll1][)l'{l-(ii-l('.2l.l sclieme of farm loans. We are careful to say that llicsc notes. "could issue no faster than the needs of the g'ovci'niiicnt rc- quircd.” lVc cite some needs of the goveriiment. Those needs are such as could not in the very nature of things call for more than one hundred millions a year. The Grange a year ago expressed the opinion that there was need- ed a monthly addition to the cur- rency of twelve millions. This year they have made no estimate of the amount necessary. but lim- ited it to the needs of the govern- ment. The President‘s Message. which came to hand after the report of the committee was pre- sented, shows that our estimate for last year was not out of the way. If the Tribune will please re-read our report in the light of I this letter I think a different con- ‘ clusion will be arrived at. If the Tribune still insists that our re- port VVlll admit of the construc- tion it put upon it will it please publish in full that portion of the report on “National Finances" included in and following the par- agraphs commencing “Advocates of the single gold standard," etc.. that its readers may judge for {entitled to all those ineuns that will conducc to their highest prosperity.

You add that "it looks as if tlicrc slioulrl be some sczwcliitig inquiry into the (:u.11:s(,- and an 1-l'l'u1'1 to (lovin- u l.‘(,5lIl0(ly. il’ 1'1.-1uc(ly is po.s.\'i'1)lc."

If the winter supply of the g1'ezLt lakes is drying up the fact should be known at the earliest moment possible. The interests at stake are of great magnitude." I will presume that your re- lTld1I‘l{S regarding the "artificial rain producing” as encouraged by the Agricultural Department. and the possibility that rain might be diverted from its natu- ral course and the lake region be deprived of its just share for the benefit of a few farmers in Kansas. are facetious merely. Possibly the public mind. in the prevailing ignorance of the lZtV.'S which govern our cliuiuto. may be somewhat infected with fear of dire results from e._\'pc1'i1ue.nts which the scientist only luu_s:l'1s at. But the possibility tliut the water of our lakes is 5_:1'z1d11ully drying up ought 1'eu.sonul)ly to excite much public anxiety. Per- haps it may be possible to rc- lieve this anxiety without uu act of Congress by better educating the public mind in 1'egur‘~.
