SPRINGBROOK FARM, )_
W1LLmns'ro.\',M1cH. 5

At Pomona Grange Hall. in
Williamston, in November. the
benefits of a liberal or college
education were lauded by many
speakers. There was a consen-
sus of opinion that that was the
one thing needful for the farmer
boys. It appeared further that
many of our sons and daughters
had attained or were striving for
such an education. It appeared.
moreover, that our farmers were
being robbed of their best and
brightest jewels. The towns and
cities. offering greater induce-
ments to educated and aspiring
young men and women. received
them. to be absorbed in the gen-
eral mass.

It comes out. also. that our
cities. those "sore spots on the
body politic. " were dependent up-
on our young and vigorous un-
tainted blood from the country
for the elementaryprinciples of
life. So great is degeneracyin
our crowded cities, it is believed
that without the pure streams
flowing in from the country in
three generations the bloated
and corrupt inhabitants would
become imbecile, or worse. A
strong statement. but doubtless
verging on the truth.

The more effusive speakers in
the Grange referred to, with gen-
erous emotion, exclaimed: “Let
our sons and daughters receive
the higher education; let them
go to the cities if they want to:
let them enjoy to the full bent of
their inclination and ambition
the glories of the outer world.
Let them go. and God bless
them. though we old folks be left
to struggle alone and bereft on
the farm."

Such self-abnegation. such sac-
rifice, would be sublime were it
really necessary or well consid-
ered.

Of course, no wise father would
restrain the generous and noble
aspirations of youth. We are free
men, according to the Gospel of
Grace and of the Republic in
which we dwell. We being free.
our children are also free.—free
to work out their own salvation
in the world’s theatre. If a son
determined to become a profes-
sional man. a scientist, or a. gen-
eral business man, we would act
the part of tyrants if we positive-
ly forbade such choice or devel-
opment. It would be foolish to
keep him chained to the farm,
like an old—time Saxon serf. if in-
deed we could command the pow-
er to enforce our edicts. He
would, under restraint, make “a

 

poor stick" of a farmer. anyway:
sour. morosc. inefficient and. inost
likely. a failure every way. In
time we would be offering him a
premium to depart from us and
go to Dakota.

But when we say “let the boys
go." have we well considered our
own arguments?

about cities. just now.~how ur-
‘ban people. left to themselves.

would soon become effete. losing
their original vigor. and degen-

view of these things. are we not
as bad as heathens when we wish
our children to pass this fire of

fer them to take up a residence

It is a source of grief and mor-
fification to me to look at the ad-
mitted fact that our farms are

The ‘

We Grangers boast of our ed-
ucational advantages, and right-
ly. We advocate the very best
training for our children. We
‘want them to shine in the world
as bright men and women. We
desire that they may drink deep
from the well—spring of knowl-
edge. We want them to be wise.
virtuous and happy.

But if education is to rob us of
our brightest and best: if the ef-
fect of a liberal education is to
deplete the country of its best
blood. drain it of its hope and
stay. leaving only the culls and
runts on the farm. are we really

g acting wisely in favoring and fos- i

Etering this higher education? It
iseems to me such conduct is sui-
fcidal. It seems to me if such
consequences are inevitable-a
legitimate outcome of a liberal
education~the sooner we dis-
band our Granges. shut up our
agricultural colleges. and stop
talking about this education. the
better for the farmer. his chil-
dren. and farm pursuits.

But it ought not to follow that

ed a liberal education he must
necessarily turn his back upon
the farm with disdain. All our
Grange teaching is to the effect
that farmers. of all men. need
and should have the best educa-
tion attainable. We are teaching
that. among all the fields of hu-
man endeavor. the farm affords
opportunities for the truest cul-
ture and the best work. Now. do
we err? Are we all wrong? I
trow not.

Run through the whole curric-
ulum of our agricultural college
and you will not find a study or
science that is not of benefit to
the student and beneficial when
applied on the farm. Not one.
When the Botanical building, un-
der the charge of the accomplish-
ed Professor Beal. was unfor-
tunately destroyed by fire. and
an appropriation was asked for
to rebuild, a. learned legislator
opposed the measure because he
could see no use in botany. He
claim to be a farmer. I do not
believe he was a Patron of Hus-
bandry, and yet could see no use
for botany on the farm.

He has yet to learn that “all
flesh is grass;"' that human beings
live on grass, unless they be
asses, and prefer thistles. Wheat.
oats, rye. corn. clover, timothy,
and a long list of kindred plants,
are grasses. Without grass our
fair Michigan would become a

to teach us all about these vari-
ous grasses, as well as trees.

I believe that our intelligent

Mr. Editor. permit H165 to in-

cence:

why (cannot be. after laying down
his books. return to the old home-

resolve to devote his life and
knowledge to improving agricul I
ture and to the uplifting of his
brother farmers and rural soci-;
ety? Why not undertake to earni
an honest living by following the l
plow? It seems to me there isi

; believe. only temporary. With

‘ prosperity. We see a strong light

3 Prosperity will be ours. Then
will the educated, honorable far-
mer come to the front as never
before. Because he is a farmer.
and a worthy one. he will com-
mand the respect of his fellow
citizens and. what is more and in-
finitely better, he will respect
himself and his high calling.

In my opinion farming——agri-
culture in its full scope—is about
: to take a position in this country
never before occupied.

TI-IE G-IR.A3}IC}E VISITOR.

The Devil and the Farmer.

There was a conference in the‘
nether regions which were bril--
liantly illuminated by a thousand
eternal fires and resonant with I
the crackling of unlimited quan-l
tities of brinistone. His Satanic‘
Majesty sat upon a throne of
glowing coals and gazed upon his
minions with delight. Around
him sat his faithful imps. Beelze
bub, Mephisto. Moloch and a doz-
en other well-known characters.
It was a notable gathering.

“How fares it up on earth '5"
asked his Majesty. after ordering
the chief fireman to throw on an
extra shovelful of coal.

Mephisto shrugged his shoul-
ders and answered in that deep
bass voice which we admire so
much in (}ounod's opera: 
usual. your Highness. Mankind
is coming to us fast. Everybody
seems con tented except the Amer-
ican farmer."

"What's the inatter with hini‘."‘
asked Satan.

"Kicking as usual. Grumbling
and dissatisfied at everything."

Satan chuckled. “What are
t.he latest syinptoins?" he asked.

“Oh. he is dissatisfied with his
crops: is swearing about his inort-
gages. and is trying his hand at
politics. about which he under-
stands as much as we do of ice
making.

“N0iiseiist_-." replied Heel’/.1-bub. ‘
who had hitherto been a silent
listener. -‘All he wants is a big
crop. an unmortga-ged farm. free
transportation -for his grain.
cheap money, a controlling inter-
est in the country and the elec-
tion of .lerry Simpson to be
thoroughly happy-"

Cried Mephisto. cynically: “I'll
bet that if you gave him all that
he would be as discontented as
before."

"I‘ll take you." cried lieel'/.e-
bub. who prided himself upon his
knowledge of human nature.

The bet wasdulyrecorded with
asharp stalactite upon a tablet
of sulphur. and Beelzebub. armed
with the authority of Satan. as-

cended to earth to try his hand
at pliilanthropliy. l
 -5 -:<- -21- er: 

It was in the month of April. ’
Soinewhere in the in:erioi- of Ill-
inois, and aged and grizzled tiler
of the soil stood with his hand
on the plow urging on a pair of
refractory mules. One of them
had just kicked clear of the
traces.

“VVho'.t there. .\'ebuchadnez- }
zer.“ he shouted. “(if)l(lf‘..I'll this;
teani. I wish the devil had hold

of you this ininnte."

"What a. remarkable wish."
said a stranger who suddenly
stood beside the astonished farm-
er and who smelled decidediy like
sulphur.

"What's the trouble‘."'

"Trouble.“ answered the farm-
er, wiping his perspiriiig brow
on the back of his hand and
thereby leaving a streak of Illin-
ois soil upon his forehead where
the prespiration had erstwhile
stood. “'l‘rouble‘: Look at this
blankety blank field. There is a
rock or a stump to every square
inch of surface. I've broken one
plowsliare in trying to cut
through it-. and now my mules
are going on a strike."

"Give me the plow." said Beef
zebub. "(lit up there, Nebu-
chadne7.z:ir. g'iang .lereiniah."

It was astonishing with what,
speed the plow furrowed through
the land. In the hands of the‘
sulphurous stranger it seemed to
fly along in spite of snags and
obstruct.ioiis. In three minutes
and eighteen and a half seconds
by the farmer's stop watch the
immense field was thoroughly
plowed. It fairly took away the
grangerls breath.

"Are you satisfied now?" asked
Beelzebub.

"VVell. yes. kinder. You're
purty quick at plowing. But now
comes the all-fired hard work of
sewing. It'll take a week at least
to sow this field, and~—"

“Nothing of the kind." cried
Beelzebub. "Just watch me.”

He took hold of the immense
sacks of seed that were lying in
3. corner and by a dexterous
movement. such as the magician
Herman uses to throw cards
among his audience, he spread
the grain over the large field.
Before the astonished farmer
could say “Fitz-John Porter” it
was accomplished. The farm was
beautifully sown.

“Are you satisfied now?" asked
Beelzebub. ‘

“Satisfied?” The farmer sat
down on a stum and alook of
pain darted over his sunburnt
face. “Satisfied‘."‘ he echoed.

--Ah, if the grain were only 1-ipe_ :cars from the time of loading on.
There will be a drought when we  to running off the cars into the
need rain. and rain when we need ; Sal‘: D9115-
the Y merit they are fed as usual. hav- [

a drought. Before June
whole crop may be ruined."
Beelzebub smiled grimly.
"Here.” he said. taking two im-
mense boxes. Herman fashion.
out of his coat tails. "in this case
you will find concentrated sun-
shine in a storage battery of my
own construction. and in this is
one of General Dyrenforth‘s cel-
ebrated rain-inaking balloons.
You are free to use either of them
as necessity may demand. Fare-
well. I will come again in June."
 * -X- * ~1-
Two months passed before the
courteous and obliging Beelze-
bub put in another appearance.
The earth was rich with golden
harvest. and corn was growing
beautifully. Never had there
been such a crop prospect.
“Well. Mr. Farmer." said Beel-
zebub. slapping his friend on the
back till his store teeth threat-
ened to become dislodged. “are
you satisfied now?"
A cloud of sorrow overspread
the grangers expressive face. It

, looked as though he were about

E to weep.
"Satisfied? Great gosh no!
Look at that field of corn. They

say it will be the biggest crop
ever known, and the price of
hogs only three dollars ahead.
What's to become of us poor
farmers?"

'-My friend." said Beelzebub,
visibly moved. “don't weep.
Hogs are going up. Here isa
private telegram just received
stating that Germany is about to
remove the restrictions from
American pork. Prices will
double. Then again look at your
wheat. It is simply glorious."

The farmer shook his head dis-
mally.

“I don't go much on the wheat. "
he replied. “If I alone had a
big crop I would be happy. but
my neighbors have as large a
yield as I and prices will go down
to nothing."

“But my friend." answered the
cominiserating Beelzebub. “your
wheat is of a different variety
from theirs. See l1ere.”——and he
took a handful of the ripe grain
and rubbed it gently between his
thumb and fingers. Lo. it turned
out to be pure gold!

"The whole field." he said, “is
shining gold like this sample and
will ave-i'agc >.‘l().()l)() an acre.

.Are ‘on satisfied now?“
3

For a moment a smile of joy
spread over the fariner‘s weather-
beaten features. but only fora
moment. Then came a look of
such abject misery that Beelze-
bub dropped an involuntary tear.

"Satisfied'."‘ he asked. "Holy
Jumbo. no! It's the worst thing
that could have happened to me.
Why, only yesterday I advocated
cheap paper money at a meeting
of the Fariner‘s Alliance. Gold
will be at a discount."

"But." cried Beelzebub. impa-
tiently. “gold is gold. and always
worth something."

The granger hid his face in his
hands. "No." he sighed, "I am
a ruined man. By the time I
have been robbed of a portion of
it by my neighbors. cheated of a
part of it by the .\iint and paid
off my mortgages with the bal-
alive I shall have nothing left."

Beelzebub vanished suddenly,
leaving behind him only a cloud
of vapor and a Fourth-of—.l'uly
smell.

That night there’ was another
conference.

“You are right." said Beelze-
biib. sadly, "The devil himself
can‘t satisfy an American farm-
er."—~Milton Goldsmith, in Phila.
Times.

Shipping Steers.

You say you will be glad to

efit of your readers; how it may

write that success is best secured
with the well favored, and fat

when fully matured, “are always

distance they travel in transit,
the care they get on the road.
and the management in the Stock

carefully done for best results;
enough is better than the thing
that is over done. "lionesty is the
best policy." The buyers cannot
be deceived very much by the
shippers. In drinking. if they
sip the water slowly. they fill
themselves with air. that weighs
little; when they drink “heartily”
they should be driven away. at
the first signs given of enough
water. When these things are
all attended to. our best steers
suffer a shrinkage of 10 lbs. per
head for well bred fully matured
steers from the scales at the ship-
ping depot. to the sale scales fed
and watered. Thin. half fat. ill
bred cattle are in the habit of
making a serious loss to their
owner eveyy way.—Richard Ba-
ker, Jr.. in Farmers Review.

How to Measure Hay in the Stack.

hfeasuryg is a very crude.
unsatisfa Dry method of esti-
mating ti“ weight of hay. There
are t-imes.i'«l1owever. when it is
impracticable to use the scales.
and a close approximation to the
true weight will answer all pur-
poses. Then. by taking into con-
sideration that fine. soft hay will
pack moreclosely than a coarser.
stiffeir quality, that when cut
earlier in the season it will be-
come more solid than stiff. late-
cut hay, that the degree of dry-
ness when stacked will affect the
weight. that the _coinpactness of
the lower part of a stack or load
is affected by the height. the
time it has stood or the distance
and kind of roads it has traveled
over. it is quite possible for a-
person of ordinary experience
and judgment to make an esti-
mate of the quantity in a load
or mow. It is estimated that
with all the above mentioned con-
ditions. at an average. timothy.
in stack of ten feet high and up-
ward. measures about :')()O cubic
feet to the ton; clear clover. be-
tween 500 and 700 cubic feet; new
mown hay. about (375 cubic feet:
fine hay. well settled, 450 to Sue
cubic feet. , To find the cubic feet
in a circular stack. multiply the
square of the circumference by

four one-hundredths (.04) of the
height. Below is given a set ofl
rules for computing the iiuinber.
of cubic yards in a ton of hay in ,
the field. stack or load. which ca-n
be easily reduced to cubic feet by
inultiplyin0' the result in cubic
yards by 2::

1. The number of tons of
meadow hay in the windrows is
the quotient of the product of
the length. breadth and height.
in yards, divided by 25.

2. To find the number of tons
of hay in a mow, divide the pro-
ducts of the length, height and
width by 15, if the stack be well
packed. If shallow. and the hay
recently stacked. divide by 18.
and by any number from lfito
18 according to the density of
stack. In square or long stacks
the number of tons is the quo-
tient of the product of the length
of the base. the width, and half
the height. in yards, divided by
15.

 In loads the number of tons
of hay is found by multiply-
ing together the length.
width and height, in yards, and
dividing the product by 20.——

Deep Plowing a Failure.

I ha-ve been interested for soiiie
time in the discussion of inten-
sive farining. new agrit-ulture.
and deep plowing of late. writes
a farmer to "Uolnia.n‘s Rural
'World.‘' Ten years ago I pur-
chased a farm. portions of which
were high and somewhat rolling.
The top soil for six inches in
depth consisted of a rich black
loam. that was underlaid with
clay. sand and gravel. I pur-
chased a three-liorse sulky plow
and plowed this ground l2 inches
deep. That is. I burried six inch-
es of good soil in a furrow, L’
inches deep. leaving six inches
of clay sand and gravel on top.
I sowed to oats and failed to har-
vest as many as I sowed. the top
forming a crust preventing the
oats from coming through. I
have continued plowing this 1)I(‘L‘.('
of ground from year to year and
have planted to various crops. iii-
cluding clover. and have failed
to get as large crops as were
raised on it before the deep cul-

tivation was przictired. and have.‘

also failed to get back as good a
top soil as I burried in the first
()ther portions
of the farm plowed six and eight
inches deep, have universally
produced better crtips of grain
and grass. the soil being the same.
I am convinced that too deep
plowing all at once on certain
kinds of soil is a mistake. as too
much soil unsuited for plant food
is brought to the surface. Bot-
tom and alluvial lands having a
soil of great depth may be stir-
red to a much greater depth and
with benefit, affording drainage
and space for the roots of both
grains and plants.

Good roads are a great benefit
to a farmingcoininunity; they. by
time saved. shorten the distance
to markets. save wear and tear
of the harness and vehicles. In
localities where good roads are
the rule, farms are more valuable,
and there is less complaint that
farming doesn’t pay. —Baltimore

"Tweiity clerks in :1 store,

twenty appreiitices in a shipyard,
‘ twenty young men in a town, all
want to get on in the world. and
expect to do so." says an old
merchant.

"()ne of the clerks will become
partner. and make a fortune; one
of the compositors will own a
newspaper and become an infin-
ential citizen; one of the appren-
tices will becoine a master build-

glucky individual? Lucky! There
lis no luck about it. The thing is

‘L preserves his integrity, who lives

'I‘he effect of spraying apple
trees with l'.ondon purple to pre-
vent ravages of the codling moth
or apple worm is well illustrated
by the experience of Mr. Lupton.
of Virginia. as stated in a recent
issue of Insect Life. The work
of spraying was un<lei'taken in
‘Mr. Luptonis orcliard. but was
idiscontinued when less than one-
Ithird of the trees had been
,sprayed. l*‘i-om these trees 1,000
barrels of apples nearly free from
worms weregzitliered. while from
the remaining two-thirds of the
orchard only «W23 barrels of sound
fruit were obtained. quite one-
fifth of the apples from the un-
sprayed trees being woriny and
unfit for use. Mr. Lupton esti-
mates that his returns from the
orchard would have been in-
creased >3i1.50(). had all the trees
been sprayed.

Let me say that I never knew
a young student to smoke cigar-
ettes who did not disappoint ex-
pectations, or. to use expressive
vernacular. "kinder peter out."
I have watched this class of men
for thirty years. and cannot now
recall an exception to this rule.
Cigarette smoking seems not on-
ly to weaken a young man's body.
but to undermine his will and to
weaken his ambition.—-Dr. An

A good way to remove sewing-

\Ve are writing this letter at
Pass Christian on the Gulf. The
outlook from the car window. as
we lie side-tracked near the sta-
tion. is not very inviting. Nor-
way pines of small growth are
scattered about in a park-like
manner; cows are grazing on the
common and the air is as mild as
in May.

\Ve shall not attempt adescrip-
tion in regular order of our jour-
ney. shall only give impressions
of the country so far as we have
passed through it. Many of our
readers. like the writer. doubt-
less. have never traveled south
of the Ohio river.

Starting from Cincinnati at
8:80 a. n1. of the 16th inst.. we
wind through the hill country of
Kentucky once cultivated to their
summits. but now evidently
abandoned by what little enter-
prise might have been exhibited
at an earlier date in the develop-
ment of the country. There is
now little evidence of material
prosperity. The fences and

fields are grown up with patches

of briers and bushes and clumps
of trees.
fields are worked,
of tobacco.
straw stacks and only occasion-

ally a stack of hay. and what few

of the latter were visible were

tration of the value ofgood stock
to a state. Here by the car win-
dow is the other extreme. Ma-
ture cows weigh about 500 pounds
and are of that nondescript char-
acter called natives. They look
as though they might give about
as much milk as a goat. and be
as serviceable for beef.

We saw some very good farm-
ing lands about Louisville. and
good buildings, but aroundin the
vicinity of Mammoth Cave very
little good land was seen. The
cave itself is worth going a long
way to see. The tricklingof the
surface waters through the lime
rock during the ages has dis-
solved the lime and carried it out
through the underground rivers
to the sea. A boat ride of (50
rods on an underground stream

cavern 90 feet high and 300 feet

was the grand feature of the oc-
casion. “Rock of Ages cleft for
me" seemed an appropriate song.
and it was sung with an appre-
ciation and zest seldom experi-
enced. “Shall we gather at the
River” sent its echoes through
the dark unexplored corridors
and into the blackness of dark-
ness beyond where none but the
guide dared to venture.

We leave the cave early in the
evening. and reach Montgomery
early next morning. To a north-
ern man with agricultural tastes
and inclinations. Alabama has
but little to offer. Cotton is the
great staple, and seems to need
less natural fertility in the soil
than other crops. although the
climate stimulates every plant to
do its best for the farmer. Cot-
ton lands are held by large land-
owners generally. and are rented
to the colored people at about :3
to 2.1. bales to 10 acres. according
to quality and condition of soil.
A bale of cotton now brings

price. die. to Tie. per pound.
The rent is the first lien upon the
crop, so that if only so much be
grown as will satisfy the rental,
the person who has advanced
stores or money to grow it. must
wait until a more favorable sea-
son for his money. A farm is
rated as a 10-mule farm or a 20-

selling a part of his holding to
northern farmers with push and
enterprise. but he seems to have
no desire himself to do the thing
he expects another to perform.
These southern men seem to
know what is desirable. but they
prefer to sit on their shady col-
onnades and see some one else
perform the necessary labor. It
is a very easy thing to criticise
the methods of the negro. but
quite another thing to get at the
work and show how it should be
done. There is no snap to any-
one‘s movements: all business is
done on the assumption thatthere
is time enough. so there is no
hurry anywhere.

The all-absorbing theme is
cotton, and how to get the most
out of the renter. All expect
the bale per acre. and if it is not
produced the fault lies. not in un-
fertile fields. but in the laziness
of the “nigger." 'When a "two-
mule" farmer rents land. he de-
votes about a fifth of it to corn.
and has the whole of it to feed
his mules. as the renter in .\Iich-
igan has the pasture of sufticient
acres to carry his animals through
the summer.

We cannot recommend that
farmers of Michigan go to Ala-
bama to cultivate land and grow
cotton so long as there is land
here to be had upon which they
can practice familiar methods
with adegree of success. The
whole system of southern social
customs must be broken up be-
fore northern farmers can take
their usages into the state and
feel at home there. It is the
hardest lesson for them to learn
that laboyuiignifies the laborer;
dignity rather lies in folded
hands in leisure. and in a com-
petence that is independent ofit.

We shall give farther impres-
sions in another letter to follow.
but can see now why the Grange
has not prospered in the south.
and why it never can until the
changes which must come are
present.

Caricatures Upon the Farmers.

VVhenever a city quill driver
desires to be funny. he pulls to-
gether what little knowledge of
country life he has gathered from
The Judge. Puck and other fun-
nygraph papers. and plunges in
to characterize the farmer.

Such an article appears upon
the second page of this issue.
We have seen it going the rounds
of commercial papers. and find
it at last in an "Agricultural Re-
view" (Heaven save the mark).
published in New Jersey. with no
adverse comment. thus saying to
its readers: “Look at the realis-
tic representation of the present
generation of farmers."

That this satire comes from a
city-bred reporter is evident
from the fact of his laying the
scene of the meeting between
Beelzebub and the farmer in cen-
tral Illinois, where “there is a
rock or a stump on every square
inch”—a combination of obsta-
cles very difiicult to find in that
state. We are not objecting to
pleasantries that “take off" the
idiosyncrasies of people. but the
persistent misrepresentation,
taught in these burlesque at-
tempts. ought to be resented.
They are a covert insult, and
mean more than simple badinage.
It says to city and village read-
ers that farmers are boors, and
breeds that pharisaical feeling
which culminates in the expres-
sion, “Can any good thing come
out of Nazareth." It turns many

sensitive boys away from the

farm. who cannot endure the rid- 

ciously perhaps. beget a contempt
for a profession which is subject
to such a sarcastic criticism.

There really are no more grumb-

ling farmers than grumbling law-
yers. according to numbers. Hu-
man nature is about the same
everywhere: but there appears
to be a sentiment that attributes
all the frailties of life as having
their native abiding place on the
farm. If. however. honesty and
integrity should die out of the
homes of farmers. they would be
nearly lost out of the world.
Froude says: "Men sound in
soul and in limb can be bred and
reared only in the exercise of
plow and spade. in the fresh air
and sunshine. with country on-
joyments and amusements: never
amid foul drains and smoke
blacks and the eternal clank of
machinery.“

It may be said that farmers
can stand it with such an array
of facts on their side, but the at-
tacks are often wanton as well as
unwise in that they have a tend-
ency to educate a public senti-
ment averse to labor or the con-
ditions surrounding it. and thus
drive those from the farm who
would do it honor.

Field Notes.

Though the train was twohours
late at Battle Creek on the 21st.
we found Bro. Wm. Simons with-
out a grumble waiting to hurry
us to the Pomona Grange at Pen-
lield Grange hall.

Dinner was over and visiting
had run pretty high as we drop-
ped in and met the familiar faces
of Bros. and Sisters Mansfield.
Poorman. Smith. and others. as
well as our associate worker. Sis-
ter Mayo. and daughter; and they
very soon made us know the rest
as well.

We then installed the oflicers

of Calhoun Pomona No. 3 and
Penfield Grange. after which

they favored us with the best at-
tention to our talk for an hour.

After parting from this visit
we were taken to the pleasant
home of Bro. Simons. of S. Bat-
tle Creek. to be ready for our
work the evening of the 22nd.
And we were glad when Bro.
Perry Mayo drove in from his
home some eight miles away. and
after achat and supper accom-
panied us.

Here we found Battle Creek
Grange just settled in their new
home. having moved from the
city, and commenced life anew.
The old church was pretty well
filled. though other meetings in
the vicinity and lagrippe held
their share. New applications
and expressions outside the gate
certainly point to success.

After installing their officers
and trying to talk them tired. we
left for a night train with Bro.
Smith. Long will we remember
these people and their earnest
entreaties to come again.

We hope to do so more frequent-

vance circulars are coming in
fast. and invariably contain a

ascent, to a point a mile
above the fall and continuing on
from there a mile and a half
further at an average depth of
160 feet below the surface, about
400 feet from navigable water in
the river and connected with the
river by surface canals. through
which the water from the river
enters and is drawn through the
shafts and wheel pits into the
great tunnel below, which forms
an immense tail-race for all the
mills and factories. The water
is to fall upon turbine wheels,
which are to be put by the com-
pany in a number of the pits. and
the power thus derived will be
delivered to the mills or factories
at that point or transmitted by
' cable, pneumatic tube or electric-
ity to any other point desired.
The tunnel has straight sides and
an arched roof and it requires no
masonry. of course. as all about
it is solid rock.—William Drys—

There is no reason to believe‘
that “time sense,“ which Prantl
claims to be the exclusive attri-
bute of man. and from which he
derives the superior mental evo-

lture endowed with personal con-

sciousness and memory must
know that it is the same being to-

day that it was yesterday. or, in
other words. that it exists in time.

The possession of this knowledge
does not imply the possibility of
indulging in philosophical reflec-
tions about it any more than the
possession of thoughts necessa-
rily involves the power of think-
ing about thoughts. although it
would be rash to affirm that ani-
inals may not be capable of giv-
ing themselves up to meditation
by recalling mental impressions
and making them objects of
thought.

Time-sense is very highly de-
veloped in domestic fowls and

American Women, and their
Incapacity for Business.

We are living in the first cen-
tury of woman—a century exu-
berant with womatrs advance-
ment. and a precursor of her still
greater progress. for woman must
advauce. She must see for her-
self. The times demand it. In
spite of all the antagonism that
has been brought to bear upon
woman. she could not be kept
down.

Now. wotnan aspires to all the
fields of labor. It has become
the fashion to work. We have
no more use for idle girls and
women.. There is a field large
enough for all to enter and plenty
‘to do. Yes. truly has it been
said that all occupations are open
to woman. and she has demon-
stratcd her ability to occupy
them. Btit. as a class. how is
she. filling them? Something is
lacking: what is it? Woman lacks
capacity for business. I take it
for granted that men conduct all
branches of business ~— manufac-
turing. mercantile. professional.
and even educational—-more. suc-
cessfully and systematically than
women. She who will not recog-
nize the above truth is a short-
sighted champion of her sex: and
she who. seeing the justice of the
reprobatiou throws upon "tyrant
man" the blame of the present
condition of affairs. and in order
to reverse. the position of gov-
erned and governors urges the.
downtrodden to rebellion. ollers.
instead of a remedy. only an in-
toxicating draught.

The martinet superior signaled
back. "None of nonsense! At-
tend to business!“ Here is the
underlying cause of the unfitness
of the average wotiian for busi-
ness pursuits. She who would
earn tier bread after the manner
of men. without feat-of social ex-
pulsion. or favor offered  a gal-
lant recompense. is fett-ered. not
only by forty. but sixty centuries
of precedent. From the time of
the first woman dowti to the pres-
ent day. woman's has been un-
paid labor. For generations in-
numerable. she has had her
*'keep" and pin money for the
asking. Upon the manner of ask-
ing and the humor of her lord
depended the quantity and qual-
ity. lt. is cruelly irrational to
expect woman with her rigid
muscles to display such ac.tion as
la man. An apt reprt-sentation of
3 the modern woman is the Itidian

a different-. This is the defect in
the way of equal wages. VVomen
do not work as men do. A man‘s
life depends upon his labor. With
woman it is only a means to an
end. A man takes hold of his
business with both hands. If
strength is lacking here he puts
his feet upon it. and if worst
comes to worst. he seizes it with
his jaws. His chosen profession
is the rock upon which to build
his structure. Men concentrate
every energy upon a piece of
work. knowing it will be judged
by its merit; women work and
watch the clock.

Some women. especially those
who have seen better titties and
are forced to earn their living.
are always lamenting their lot
and belittling the eniploytiieitt
which gives them their bread.
They consider the necessity of
selfsupport a crime committed
upon nature and precedent. To

All such idols must be broken

which might be cited would time

tion. where women degrade them-

preciates fully that she runs no

lClothes worn without mending
‘are almost thrown away. so
sspeedily are they ruined. and
lbungling. incapable mending is
lalinost worse than none. The
[girl who cannot mend has been
neglected in that important part
of her education. which consists
of learning to take care of her
own clothes. There is a woman-
ly grace in the tire of the needly.
and a truly womanly economy in
its einployinent that will never
go out of fashion.

Life is made up of these appar-

of this when they put on some

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

Electricity in Agriculture.

It is Well known that currents
of electricity exist in the atmos-
fplicro. Clouds are charged and
;discha.1'g.r;cd. There is at constant
,chaii;;e of electricity from earth
‘to air and from air to earth, the
flutter‘ being the great reservoir‘
5 for all electricity. Hills, mountain
‘peaks. trees. chimneys, spires. in

;The Problem of Aerial Navigation.

_ In the absence of any govern-
Einental or concerted efl'o1't the

{Cosmopolitan Magazine has de-1

ltermined to attempt the solution
lof the problem of aerial naviga-
ition, and under its direction a.
‘series of experiments will be
made which it is hoped will be
brought to zt satisfactory conclu-
sion.

Unquestionably the greatest
"mechanical problem unsolved is

gvci-y soldoin that one has to be
,'stopped and brought. b:l.('.l{ for rc-
Eivcighing. a.lthou_::h it is done if’
{theweiglier is at ull uncertain
iabout his figtires. The man at
{the scales can generally toll with-
jin a hundred pounds or so wliat,
‘a. car contains. As soon as they
see the class of car coming. they
know the number of tons it con-
‘tains. and have the scale so pre-
pared that only the hundred-
weight-s need be adjusted while

pert oflicials of the company can
tell at a. glance what each class
of cars should contain, and if, in
looking over the weight sheet,
any car appears either too heavy
or too light, it is brought back
land re-weighed.

; An Acre of Clover worth 1 1-2 Arcs ‘
Corn to make Pork. 1

It  not e.\'ti'avagant to 
i that more pounds of pork can be.
niiitle from one acre of clever-
;than from the same area of corn. 7
‘says Stephen I<'aville. of \Viscoii- *
 in Farin and Home. The a\'-
zerage yield of shelled corn ])(.*l‘_
‘iacre is seldom 30 busliels. and l‘_’,
,3pounds of pork per bushel of:
lcorn is good production. Thisl
«,would make 1300 pounds of porkl
iper acre. One acre of fair clover-
T will pasture eight hogs from the
time of starting in the spring till
autumn. A hog weighing 100
pounds when turned out will
double his weight by autumn with
no other food. This means H00
pounds of pork against the (300
made by the acre of corn. VVheth-
or it is best to feed hogs when
they are running to grass is not
yet decided Some good ftiriners
claim it better to give no other
food. but furnish the stock with
plenty of water anti salt. I feed
a little every day and think it
best. I do Iiot give enough to
make the hogs depend on it. but
to neutralize to some extent the
gas on the stomach caused by
eating clover. It should be fed
regularly the first thing in the
morning. I to 2 pounds everyday.
Many make a mistake in letting
clover get too large before turn-
ing in the hogs. The swine
should be placetl in a tield soon
as the clover shows a fair bite.
If not. it will outgrow them and
become too old to suit. They
should have free access to salt
and ashes mixed and kept under
cover. I consider clover the
sheet anchor of the dairyinan and
hog raiser.
