In the four years of your college
course you have acquired some

measure of knowledge. You have
learned somewhat as to the use of 1
the grand English tongue, of the
different peoples who have lived on
‘this whirling ball, of those immu-
table laws of quantity and of meas-

practical work of life this knowl-
gedge will be of great value. hit.
of much greater value is the spirit 1
and the method of investigation
which have been taught you here.
In every class room. in every la-
boratory, in field and in shop you
have been led to look from effects‘
to causes, to trace causes to their '
effects. lVith microscope and tel-
cscops and spectroscope, with test

in its many manifestations. Your
gprofessors in all departinents have 1
lstrivcn to inspire you with the

1with the modern methods. Thcy
fhave striven to give you kiiowl-
ledge, indeed; but more, than all
lhave they striven to give you llic
linctliod whereby you may acquire
1 knowledge for yourselves.
J1 As you go from these scenes
;of college life you will go into a1
lrestless, eager wogld, in .which%
there is much of "error. much of?
wrong, but much, also, of the spir- .
lit that seeks for truth and for the I

tyranny keeps every man in painl
and sorrow. Religion has iii-
spired not a few noble souls to such
faith in truth and good as trans-
forms the life into one of obedience
and love and work. Surely at some
time in the future every soul will
be free from bonds of sin and er-
i ror that now hold so many in slav- l
‘ery. Everywhere now the great-
est, sincerest, noblest souls are
‘striving for the knowledge, the la- 1

education, the government and re-
ligion that shall free all men from
ignorance, error, sin, and degrada-
tion,—from the most unhappy slav-
ery that ever crushed a soul. l
It will be your inspiring work to"
aid in all these influences. They
invite your help. An acquaintance
with you of several years leads me
to believe that you will eagerly
respond. You are in touch with
the last decade of the nineteenth
century. In the spirit of this cen-
tury your college training has been
given and received. Good seed
falling into good ground brings

as reports from different parts of
the State, I am led to believe that
many flocks of sheep are invaded
by parasites, in the shape of round
and tapeworms, to, in some in-
stances, quite an alarming extent.
as large proportions of young flocks
are carried off with them and even
some of the older animals.

“Ihile in the advanced stages of
the disease little can be done by
way of effecting a cure in the ma-
jority of cases, yet in the early
stages proper remedies save many
animals that would otherwise per-
ish; and on the other hand a great
deal can be done by way of warding
off an attack when we are familiar
with the causes and do not expose
our animals to them. So to bring
the subject before those interested

in sheep breeding I address this?

The Iflomzrl I/Vo'rm.

The first of the worms to be de-
scribed is a thread like creature,
that in southern latitudes produces
a :(liseasc known as lombriz. The
worm measures when mature from
say half an inch to an inch in
length, and is say a little thicker
than a stout horse hair. They are
to be found in innuinerable «pian-
tities closely adhering to the lining
meiiibraiie of the last stomach of
the sheep; and when the sheep has
recently died, close observation
will reveal the worms wriggling
about with the most eccentric coii-
tortions; their color at this time
is ratlierof a reddish chocolate hue. ~

The life history of the worm is
thought to be of a simple nature;]
it being generally conceded by in- ,
vestigators, that the eggs of thel
female are carried off through the ;
bowels of the sheep, dropped upon 
the ground, and when washed uutl
of the excrement by heavy rainsl
or otherwise, are devoured by other 
sheep and hatched in their stom-‘
achs, where. they produce eggs, and j
thus keep up the circulation of the 
disease. 1

THE SY.\I1’TOl\IS ,=
VVhich these little worms producel
are not very well marked from 
other parasitic diseases of the bow- i
els, but when they appear in largef
quantities they produce general 
laiiguor, a tendency to drop behind 
the well sheep of the flock, withl
hanging head and drooping ears,
and an expression of general debil-
ity showing that something is de-
cidedly wroiig. The bowels may
at first be costive, but usually give
way to diarrhoea.

With such symptoms apost mor-
tem of one or more animals should
be made. when these worms will
often be found in large quantities
in the fourth or last stomach.

TRE.~\T.\IENT.

There are many good remedies
usedin the treatment of vermicular
diseases, so much so, that it is hard
for the writer to form an opinion
as to the best one, but one which
is good, easy to obtain, and coiiven-
ient to handle, is spirits of tur-
pentine.

To proceed take 1 part of spirits
of turpentine and add to it 16 parts
of sweet milk; shake well and use as
a drench. The dose of the mixture
for lambs from 3 to 6 months old
is 2 ounces; from 6 months to 1
year, 3 ounces; and from 1 year
upwards 4 ounces. One dose will
often be sufficient, if not repeat it
in say 3 days. To give the medi-
cine let an assistant place the a1ii-
mal upon its haunches, holding it
between his knees face outwards:
open the mouth and pour the iiiedi-
cine slowly down from a long
necked bottle or horn.

PREVENTION.

Separate healthy from unhealthy l
sheep, feed them from racks and‘

water them from troughs; in other
words do not allow them to eat or
drink anything which may have
been contaminated with the excre-
ment of affected sheep.

The Tape Worm.

The second worm is of the tape
worm order, differing very much
from the last one in every partic-
ular. I have always found them

in the small bowel commonly called

the 5/H/. It varies in length from a

few inches to 20 fect, and is say 
an inch wide at the widest point,
tapering gradually towards the
eiids.the head or front though being
considerably SII1allP1'tll8.I1 the tail( 2’)
:end: it is made up of innumerable
,segnicnts. which when passed out
‘of the bowels in a single manner,
frequently adhere to the pellets
,of foecal matter and resemble little
white maggots. Sonietiiiies several
feet of a worm will l)e voided at
onc time.

The life history of this parasite
is iiot- yet thoroughly worked out,
though valuable testimony goes to
show that unlike most other tape-
worms. it is not necessary for an
intcrincdiatc host to keep up the
circulation of the disease, but that
they pass from sheep to sheep
through consuinption of the eggs
with the food. These worms like
other varieties are more destructive
to lambs than oldersheep, and they
often invade them in large numbers.
I have counted as many as eleven

.side by side. giving the appearance
of entirely blocking up the bowel.
Tllli SY.\Il’T()MS
, \Vhich they produce vary with the
individual. sometimes nothing ap-

,' pears to be wrong, when all at once ‘

jthe animals will be afl'ect.ed with
colicky pains, diarrlnea and death
liii a few hours; again other animals
show general symptoms of distress
for some days, the belly becoiiics
swollen with gas, ftnces yellow
and slimy or hard and pellety,
usually having segments of the

worm upon it; the animal beconics
debilitated and things go from bad:

to worse, till death closes the
scene. Some strong animals are

able to resist the ravages of the:

parasites and eventually make a
thorough recovery. I’ost-inortem
will reveal, when the bowel is split
with a knife, a white tape like look-
ing object which no doubt will

prove to be the worm.
These worms are often present,

with the tliread worms, and even

other varieties in the same animal .

at the same time.

The disease is very destructive

to lambs and yearliiigs.
TREATMENT.

As turpentine is alike destruct-
ive to tape as well as round worms
the same line of treatment adopted
for the other disease will answer
for this one, indeed the one dose
will often cause the death of both
the thread and tape worms and
cure the disease.

prcventioii will answer both cases.

WH.\'l‘ SHALL BE DONE
FALL HONEY.’

W IT H

1!. L. TAYLOR.

I should be unwilling to lay
down any hard and fast rule con-
cerning the disposition of the fall
crop of honey. A rule that would
be desirable for one would not
answer at all for another. This is
so because the circumstances of
different bee-keepers are so vari-
ous. \Vith one the crop is large,
with another it is moderate or very
light. One gets a crop of fall
honey that is as light colored as
that from clover; another gets a
, product that is amber in color and
another secures only honey that is
almost as black as tar. In one lo-
cality the fall honey is excellent as
food for the bees during their win-
ter repose; in another place, from
the admixture of pollen, it is sure
I to prove disastrous to bees if they
‘are allowed to use it during a time
when they cannot have frequent
flights. Again, one has a plant
prepared for the production of
comb honey exclusively and may
not be willing to incur the expense
~ of a change or the trouble of learn-
‘ ing and practicing new methods.

It is evident. then, that the
answer to the above question must
be left largely to individual apiar-
ists, but there are certain facts
that ought to be understood and
kept in mind that each may be able
to give an answer that will prove
correct for himself.

In the first place, make ample
provision for the bees themselves.
It is never profitable to put bees

on short allowance of storesl,
\\'licn this is done they do notl
winter so well nor build up nearly 
so fast in the spring. and of course‘
do not get nearly so much surplus‘
as they would liave done if they
had had an abundance all along. I
am using words critically when I
say sufficient is not enough. Bees
are wonderful economists. If they
have little when the prospect is
that they will not be able to gather
more for some time they use it
sparingly and make it go a long
way. Especially is this true in the
spring when they ought to be us-
ing food with prodigality in the
, rearing of an abundance of brood.
A colony may have an abundance
to last them a fortnight and you
may mean to give them more in
twelve days but the bees don’t
know that and probably would not
trust your memory if they did, so
they plan to make their two weeks’
store last four or five weeks. The
conseipieiice is that the pace at
which the strength of the colony
increases is greatly retarded and
, tlic amount of the prospective sur-
plus suffers more than in propor-
tion. So I repeat, first see that
ample provision is made for the
bees themselves. The scripture,
“ There is that scatteretli and yet
increasetli,” applies with all its
force. There is nothing better for
buil ling up the bees in spring
than the pungent. dark-colored
honey generally gathered in the
fall. In most cases. also, it is as
good as any for winter, but where
‘e.\'peri<-nee proves to the contrary
it should be extracted and sufficient
granulated sugar syrup fed to last
1 till  the first of April. in which
‘case at least twenty pounds should
be kept over winter for each colony
land given back in the spring as
soon as the weathcr permits. When
the honey is to be used for winter,
each colony should be allowed to
‘ retain at least thirty pounds——forty
would be better. To this extent
liberality richly pays. Each pound
;1of the dark, almost uiisaleable
ihoney will give back more than a

‘pound of fine clover or basswood
honey.

If the course I have pointed out
be pursued all the fall crop in the
great majority  cases will be dis-
posed of. In the other cases where
1 the apiarist has made provision
I for the securing of extracted honey
lno change is to be thought of, for
i no doubt extracting will prove the
imore profitable. This is so more
especially on account of the follow-
1 ing facts, viz.: In the fall the bees
are comparatively reluctant to build
comb or to draw out foundation. so
that at that time of the year they
would probably gather three times
as much if given empty combs to
store it in than if compelled to
prepare new comb; next, they do
not make so nice sections of comb
honey either in shape or finish as
they do in the summer and besides
in the fall they are apt to daub the
sections and even the honey very
liberally with propalis.

It only remains to be said in
conclusion that in the few remain-
ing cases where the honey flow is
profuse and the honey itself of
good color the final results will
probably be more satisfactory if
the product is obtained in the
shape of comb honey.

THE SILO FOR SMALL FARMS.

Any farmer who wishes to have
the benefit of a silo but who hesi-
tates on account of the expense at-
tending the preparation for cutting
the ensilage—which is nearly as
great for a small quantity as for a
large one, may relieve himself of
this difficulty by putting the ensi-
lage in the silo without cutting.
Corn can be put in very easily as
it comes from the field by keeping
the stalks in shape to handle by
the armful. One person in a small
silo can place the armfuls in good
shape as fast as one can handle
from the load, and if carefully
packed it will keep quite as will as
if cut fine. Not as much can be
got in the same space but there
will be but little difference.

It is also a little more trouble to
get it out when fed, but with a
sharp hand axe it can be cut down
so as to cause but little trouble in
this respect. A silo 12 feet square
and 12 feet deep will hold enough
to give ten head of cattle a large
portion of their coarse feed for five
months. Try filling the silo with
whole corn if you have not the con-

venience for cutting.

Everybody should have the liix-
ury of fruit in summer. The straw-
berry comes first aiid is the grand-
est of all the berries of the earth
and is getting so plentiful and low,
that everyone in cities. rich and
poor, can get strawberries some-
times cheapcr than they can be
grown; still, for all that, there are
many families, living on farms.
who are destitute of these luxuries.
This should not be; there is no
mystery about it, only the simple
fact that the business part of it
must be executed at the proper time.
Obtain plants in the early spring,
from some good reliable person.
and plant a few str:iwbei'ries. Black-
cap raspberries. and Cuthbert red
raspberries. also a few >'~iiydei'
blackberries, and they will give
you small fruit from May to Sep-
teinbcr. There is some enjoyiiient
in having the fruit fresh from the
garden, except blackberries, which
are much improved by standing in
a cool place twenty-four hours be-
fore using. All the work can be
done with a hoe when grown on a
small scale.

Spring planted should be in
straight rows, not less than three
and a half feet apart, and the soil
should be stirred frequently to
keep them growing through the,
dry weather. Plaiitatioiis that
have fruited once should be
mowed off close with mowing ma- ,
chine, raked up with horse rake,
the cut vines and straw should be
stacked for mulching in winter. In
dry time when the vines are dor-
mant they will stand trampiiig of
horses and raking thoroughly with-
out injury. Go slow on burning
the ground over; that often ruins,
the crop for next season. If the
ground is hard clay, a furrow
should be turned from the rows
each way, leaving a narrow strip
of plants; remove the weeds from
this strip with the hoe and culti-
vate the ridge down between the,
rows. On sandy soil the cultiva-1
tor may be used instead of the}

plow. 
ltaspberries after fruiting» 
should have the old canes re- §

moved—and the ground worked and l
made free from weeds. Pinch thej
tops off the new canes when eight-
een inches higli,then let the laterals
mature without cutting; they}
should be cut late in the fall or‘
very early in the spring. Cut;
them back one-tliird to one-half of
their growth, to gauge their size,
and quality. Seven years’ fruit-T
ing is long enough for a raspberry’
plantation. The easiest way to rid
the ground of them is to cut them ,
down with a strong mowing ma-,‘
chine and rake up with horse;
rake, and then the ground should,
be heavily fertilized and plowed; it 5‘
is then again ready for use. Thcj
same will apply to blackberrics
and strawberries. ;

Upon almost any well stocked
farm tliere are animals not product-
ive or are kept at so little profit,
that they should at one be disposed:
of for what they will bring. It is’
economy to attend to this weeding;
out process promptly. Even down
to the item of the fowls kept on.
the average farm, attention should
be given to this subject.

All flocks contain non-producers.
For this reason it is impossible to
estimate how may eggs may be ex-
pected from a flock of twenty-fivei
hens. They will for a while lay
almost in unison, and the number
of eggs from them will be large,
but suddenly the supply is lessened,
and examination show that some
of them have been frosted on their
combs. They will remain at rest‘
until the injured combs have
healed, and then begin to lay, but
the number of eggs has not in-,
creased. A second investigation ,
shows that those that were laying,‘
have a portion of their number
attacked by roup. Again the hos-
pital is made to do duty, and the
sick fowls once again placed in the
ranks. For a while all goes on
well, but suddenly there is another
falling off in eggs, but there are
no sick hens. The poultryman is
puzzled, and cannot account for
the loss. After much speculation
and investigation, he finds that a
few large hens with Asiatic blood
in them are as fat as seals, and

pounds of butter in a year.

have decided to retire on the wealth

‘it goes. Although theiflock may

consist of twenty-five hens. but
two-thirds of that number will al-
ways be laying. Hence when we
are asked how many a hen
will lay in a year, we can reply
"from one hundred and fifty to
one hundred and seveiity-five, but
the average for large flocks may
not be over one hundred, as there
will always be some noii-pi'oducei's,
and the larger the flock the fewer
the eggs proportioiiately."--- ll'c.-I‘-

Professor‘ Robertson. of Canada,
speaking at an institute truly, said
that economy is needed in the care
of our cattle. “I must find out
how to have the biggest and most
prompt returns from the food and
labor spent on them and what is
the best way and season for giving
that feed. He was told that last
spring 300 cattle had perished of
starvation in this land of plenty
because their owners were too shift-

; less to care for them properly. He

I have no doubt that many
Granges with which partial ar-
rangements were made early in tl1e
spring for visits in lecture work,
have been wondering at our silence.
But we are aware of the effect of
such
weather as came to be a real calam-

ity to many of the farmers of our‘
State, and that at such times theyi
are ill-prepared to devote much at-.

tention to callers. Then came the
harvest, which, owing to the great
scarcity of help, laid an unusual
heavy grip upon the energy of the
farmer and his family. These l1av-
ing now passed we shall renew our
call for your assistance and en-

deavor to push our work with re-.
newed zeal for the balance of the}

it seems as though the field was

BEG LV THE WORK.

TVortl1y Master Brigham has
very aptly taken “ time by the fore-
lock” and prepared the way for
more etlicient work at the next
session of the National Grange.
This certainly points the index to
the many ways in which every
Subordinate Grange can supply
itself with work, constantly reach-
ing ahead and keeping in touch
with the most advanced movements
of the Order, and discuss the many
questions before us, giving the re-
sults of their deliberation and wis-

dom in aid to the formulating of,

plans, and to passing of due criti-
cism upon those of others, while
the subject is fresh under consid-
eration generally; aiid in bringingi
about results upon which the Order 1
would become a unit, and in which 3

ready and unanimous cooperation?
would be the safely directed power.

to the ready consummation of‘

. l . . .
grand results. Let us do llllsllli is passing strange that the [H11-‘good 1_eIm.mtiOn as to reliability in

instead of waiting until decis-ll
ion has been rendered and re- I
sults obtained, then hastily giv- [
ing immature observatons unaided;
by the reflectioii and study ofl
other minds, tending only to thwart
the object in View, or delay and
diminish the effect for good in re-
sults obtained.

Brother Mars cannot thus dele-
gate the work of the coming ses-
sion of our State Grange for reason
that he has no means of knowing
who will compose that body, but
we do believe that very much could
be done to facilitate the work and
increase the amount accomplished
with more mature deliberation, if
members would present matters
which they desire considered, up-
on all the various questions usually
brought before the State Grange,
to their Subordinate Grange and
there compare thought pro and con,
then formulate and take it to the
Pomona, and to the county conven-
tion, and thus on, to the State
Grange in December.

Many vague theories would get
their airing just as well near home
and not consume valuable time of
committee or Grange to settle bya
little comparison of thought among
members, While worthy matter
would work to the front, and gain-
ing strength, simplicity and per-
fection, come before the proper
committees to be disposed of with
satisfaction and dispatch.

Resolutions after discussion
in Subordinate or Pomona
Granges could be formulated and
held in readiness for the delegates
when chosen, or they may be sent
off at once to the Lecturer, who
will agree that every one will be

aided by the facts that exist and in
View of the experience of the past
in the older parts of the State
should certainly be suflicient to
formulate changes which the next
legislature will be safe in giving a

Then legislation upon the taxa-
tion of mortgage interests and cred-

contested question and one of great |
importance to farmers, who are sol

largely among the class of borrow- l practice “'hat(:-V91‘ kind,

vital matters, does not create a‘
more complete harmony of coop-

taining a more perfect equality of

Now we appeal to Patrons and

to the support of our interests and
our privileges, and together let us
stand.

DUTY OF THE GRADUATE.

Let not the college graduate
think that the condition of the
American farmer is of no interest
to him. Let him not imagine that
so long as he secures a good posi-
tion in some village or city, it can
make no difference what happens
to the old folks at home, to the

to forget the claims of the farmer
upon him is suicidal. Enlarge-
ment and deliverance are sure to
come in due season to the farmers
of America and through them at
length to the tillers of the soil the
world around.

The duty of the hour, incumbent
upon all college graduates of today,
but especially upon those who
graduate from colleges of agricult-
ure supported by state aud nation-
al funds, is to labor night and day
with all Wisdom and zeal to carry
back to the farm, to the rural life,
the best improvements of modern
civilization. We boast of rapid
transit annihilating space. What

then is to prevent the farmer from
having his daily mail, easy and
quick access to the best store, the

brought up by careful parents in a
far-ol’r' city. Among other things
he had been tanglit to be friendly,

fore himself. The boy was on a
visit to the town where the man
lived. They met on the street. and
the younger recognizing the elder,
promptly went to his side and
spoke to him in his cordial Way.
Of course the man was pleased;
any one would have been pleased.
The sentence above was the out-
come of it. A little later the boy
came into the room just as the
man was struggling into his over-
coat. The bo_v hurried to him,
pulled it 11p at the collar and drew
down the wrinkled coat beneath.
He would have done it for any
man the hauglitiest or the poorest.
Do not misunderstand, boys. You
may be truly unselfish and yet not
have this boy’s prize. You may
wish to do things for others, yet

feel that you do not know how.

what there is in a reputation? It is
as a cornerstone to the success of
business men. A man may have all

 the facilities for conducting a large

business, but all for the lack of a

lare afraid to deal with him. There-

fore all his good surroundings are
of no special benefit to the com-

man may not have near an equal
position to demand patronage, but
because he is honest, diligent and

that his patrons should know, he
soon rises up above the man of

llie call attention to the article
with the caption of “Sheep
Parasites" and in the form of an
open letter from Dr. Grange to the
State Live Stock Sanitary (‘om-
mission. It will be of interest to
all sheep growers.

The political campaign will soon‘

be on and tl1e brass band and
torch light procession will be the
rage. It is remarkable how far a
few hogsheads of wind and a few
barrels of oil will influence our
free born citizens. Yet no doubt,’
this is changing and that solid
argument and the appeal to rea-
son have constantly more and’
more sway.

Michigan was favored with the
presence of Col. J. H. Brigham at
Newaygo Pomona Grange and at‘
Farmer’s Day. Those who had
never heard Mr. Brigham before
were much impressed with his
strong personality and vigorous
ways of presenting truth. Col.
Brigham, too, is pleased with our
Michigan Patrons. He says in a
card, "We are proud of the wide-
awake, go-ahead farmers of Micl1-
igan.” 5

It is said that a gentleman once i

discovered that kerosene oil was a
splendid cure for rheumatism. The
medicine was at first far from
agreeable, but, strange to say, after
a time it not only became not un-
pleasant to take but the approach
of the disease actually produced a
desire for the oil. “'hat a remark-
ably pleasant and satisfying thing

BE PROJIPT PLEASE.

Quite frequently we ask for
reports of Pomonas and either re-
ceive no report or it comes too late
to be fresh Grange news. “'4-
hope that whatever person be
charged with the duty of reporting
the Pomona meeting, whether Sec-
retary, Lecturer or reporter, that he

will 11ot fail to send in a report at:
once, so that it can appear in the,
very 11ext issue of the VIsIT0R.1

\Ve would like reports from each
Pomona, brief. of course, and con-
cise, and also one or two of the

best articles read on each occasion. 

\\'e may not have room for all, but
we can take the best and make
abstracts of many.

And then donit forget the Short 1 growing demand of the people for‘

spicy reports of your subordinate
Grangcs.

 

REAI) IIIIS PLEASE.
lVe have received a considerable

.number of complaints recently of

‘Va quote from a letter received,
from Hon. Enos Goodrich:

“I have been much interested in;
reading the two leading articles in 1.
the last VIsITOR——the one on.
Banking. the other on Roads,
These articles are both of a highz
order a11d calculated to maintain
for the VISITOR a high standard of;
merit in public estimation. Miss‘
lVarren, of Olivet, has done;
herself honor and put our status-
men to shame in the able man-3
11er i11 which she has treated
the road question. I have read“
many articles on the subject of
roads, and none abler that hers.
But I confess I was sorry to see
her go away to Pennsylvania to
compliment Governor Beaver and
entirely ignore the etforts of our‘
own Governor \Vinans on the same ,

subject——--for no governor of any,
state has more earnestly taken up:
the cause of good roads than has
Governor lVinans. The article of.
Mr. D. Strange on Banking is a
very able one and does credit to
the author and the paper that
gives it publicity. His remarkf
that ‘capital is but accumulated,
labor. which some one by skill and t
frugality has furnished’ is worthy .
to be read in churches. It knocks
the theories of Henry George a11d
his school of agitators higher than
a kite. These men who want to‘
kill Carnegie and Jay Gould have
need to study that fundamental
truth."

GRANGERS, ATTEN TI ON .’

Those Patrons who expect to
attend the State fair this year will
be pleased to know that Capital
Grange expects to provide head-
quarters on the grounds for all
visiting Patrons and their friends.
When you come on the grounds
find out the place and make your- f
self at home.

THE PRICE OF THE VISITOR.

VVe desire to state that for the
present the Vrslron will be sold at ,»
50 cents per year to all. \Ve think
it is best to do this so that there
will be no cause for dissatisfaction
on the part of any one. In the first
place the paper is abundantly
cheap at the price named. And
then we hope to make various
premium ofl’ers to Granges which
will more than recompense the 10
cents difference in price heretofore
made to large Grange orders.

  

subscribe1's 11ot receiving their pa- }
-per. \Ve regret this exceedingly

and are doing all in our power to
locate the difliculty. If your paper
of any given (late does 11ot come
within ten days after the date of

;publication, drop us a card (bf:

AYJTICE.

Our State secretary sends in the
following notice which she re-
quests us to call to the attention
of Patrons:

Patrons will please notice thatj

the residence and address of the

Secretary of the State Grange has;
gbeen changed from Marcellus to
Ann Arbor, lVashtenaw Avenue,§

Mich.

Secretaries are especially re-3

quested to bear this in mind i11

buying money and express orders3
and see that they are made paya- 1

ble at Ann Arbor.

Further, it is necessary in order
that your subordinate Grange be
entitled to representation in the

next State Grange that the fees3
and dues for the quarter ending‘

March 31,1892, are paid. Please

be sure that your Grange holds its l

receipt for that quarter’s remit-
tance. JENNIE BUELL,
Secretary.

STANLEY THE POLITICI.-l.\'.

\Vhat seems to as Americans a
novel attitude was taken by Henry
M. Stanley in the recent linglish
political campaign. We do not
make note of foreign born citizens
running for office in this country.
even though their period of l‘(‘Sl-
dencc has been short. But the
sight of an American posing as a
candidate for the English Parlia-
ment, and that on the Tory. the
aristocratic side, is new and inter-
esting. And then his conspicuous
failures as a public speaker in the

campaign, his wife’s effective aid,

in coming to his rescue. and his
final overwhelming defeat add to
the romantic character of the story.
However it does not enlarge the
respect of Americans for Stanley
‘to observe these proceedings. He

has not increased his fame, and he

has sensibly diminished the feeling

of regard for his heroism, daring‘

illld perseverance.

 

A TI.lIE[.l' JIOVE.
The road question has at length
‘received recognition in Michigan
,from an official source and the

highway improvement has met
with expression at the hands of
the legislators.
tion of Gov. \Vinans, suggesting
the appointment of a commissioner
to look up the question, was

adopted, and the Governor was‘
authorized to appoint three com-.

missioners who should “investigate
as to the best plan of legislation

looking to the improvement of our,
highways, and zxlam to the advisa-‘
bility of employing our convict}

labor in the construction of coun-
try roads.”

Pursuant to this resolution Gov. _3
lVinans has appointed on the com-‘

mission Hon. lVm. L. \Vebber of
Saginaw, Hon. Reuben Goodrich

Kinnane of Kalamazoo.
' ject is thus assured of careful and

lgiven a prominence that will in-
lsure discussion at least at the
l .

» hands of our next legislature.

Among the agencies which have
1 had much to do in shaping the
1 rural prosperity of our State. ma-
terially and intellectually, few rep-
resent more of unselfish endeavor
* and of substantial benefit than does
our State fair. lVhen the fair was
}inaugurated, scrub stock was the
rule in Michigan. Today the State
~ ranks among the first for its high
bred stock. The fair has had a
very large place in this develop-
ment. The various lines of fruit,

3 addition to this the various depart-

carried a large measure of knowl-
edge and culture to our rural homes.

All of this work has been purely
unselfish on the part of the mana-
gers. Some of them have given
years of good work, without gain
to themselves.

The prospects for the fair this
year are promising. The entries
are numerous and the advertising
is being well done. The Agricult-
ural College is going to make a
very fine exhibit. The various de-
partments have been granted space
together, and the exhibit will be,
probably, the most attractive of
any at the fair.

JUDGE LYXCII.

Reports come, seemingly with
increasing frequency, of lynching
of criminals by mobs of infuriated
men. And in nearly every account
of a dastardly crime the sentence
occurs, " The brute, if caught, will
be lynchet.” We have been ac-
customed to regard lynching as the
accompaniment of semi-populated
districts. where the wilder elements
of humanity drift. and where the
usual processes of the law are not
in orderlyoperation. But for some
rcason this method of sutnmary
vengeance has come in vogue in
well settled sections and among
intelligent cc uniinunities. The pas-
sions are let loose. and like so
many bloodhounds men drag their
victim to death.

Two brutish elements in human
nature are suggested by these facts.
The one is the terrible brutality
and awful fieudishness of the
,deeds for which these men are

punished. It is not necessary to
enumerate them. But they are
often of the most horrible and re-

volting nature. equaled by no ani- ‘

mal but man. Is this element
growing? Are men becoming more
brutal? Is the moral sentiment
of the people degenerating? The
other element is that of unbridled
,vengeancc, a passion of l)ut little
less force, and resulting in no less

A GOOD REPORT.

Fircnnuno, Mica.
Editor Visitor.-

Buiiker Hill Grange, though not
having been reported for some
time, is in its usual prosperous
condition. Its meetings are held
once a week throughout the year,
with a good average attendance.

Our membership does not in-
crease rapidly, but this fact brings
no discouragment, as we have
learned from experience that
steady growth in the Grange pro-
duces better results than rapid
growth.

The GRANGE Visiroa finds its
way into nearly every home and is
duly appreciated.

An organ, recently purchased,
adds to the interest of our meet-
ings. The funds were raised by a
play given by the Grange Dram-
atic club, aided by a few ice cream
socials.

Our meetings are made instruc-
tive by various methods from time
to time suggested. After the
“spelling contests” of last winter,

AN IDEAL KITCHEN.

books, raise them, and bake a light
brown. Now, sisters, just try a tin
of them and see if they are not
good.

At our county Grange last week
a sister reported that she had found
a. good thing in the shape of a
washing fluid, and We know it is
a good thing for we have used it
for years. It is not only a saving
of time and strength, but clothes as
well last longer. One ounce of
muriate of ammonia, one ounce of
salts of tartar, one pound can of
Babbett’s condensed lye. Dissolve
the ammonia and tartar, then the

matter until it is known who is to
do the work in the said kitchen, or
at any rate so it might appear from

modate a regiment until you come
to the kitchen which is only large
enough to contain the necessary
articles of furniture and the cook;
but for the farmer’s wife or one who
has to spend the best part of her
waking hours in such a room, life
would hardly be worth the living.

“Were I to plan an ideal kitchen”
she continued, “I would begin with
the foundation of the house, build
the kitchen, then after furnishing
it build the rest of the house as my
means would admit.

“For my part I don’t see what
some people are thinking of who
build their kitchen clear on the

tellcctual advancement, the pros-
; perity and the general enliglitment
‘of a nation depend, not on the
broad culture of a few, but on the
general intelligence of the popu-
lace.
I have no statistics for bearing
me out in this assertion, yet I
i doubt not that the larger per cent
of our nation’s men and Women re-
ceive their education—a portion of
it, any way——in the country district
schools. That it is the almost ex-
clusive field of text-book learning
for the large body of farmers, goes
Without saying. That many of the
cities’ business men, a large per
cent of the grand statesmen Who
have adorned _and blessed our
country, some of our sweetest poets
and most profound writers were
once pupils of the district school
is a matter of common knowledge.
And this but corroborates the
assertion as to its great import-
ance.
And yet it is difficult to connect
‘such power with the country
school, judging by the little favor
bestowed on it, as compared with
the attention given to the city
schools and higher educational
institutions. In many localities
the country public is strangely in-
different to the interests of the
school _in its midst. And the un-
appreciative school board, or com-
mittee, who has jurisdiction over
the school matters, discharges only
enough of its duties to keep the
school running in the most in-
different way. ’

mine the best mode of application,

it has penetrated the horn germ.
When the germ has become soft.
having an inflamed appearance,
sufficient material has been applied.
Care should be taken that no fluid
runs down the calf's head, for the
material is very caustic. In several
instances, the fluid was applied to
only one horn button, and the other
being left untreated. The effect
usually was to entirely stop the
growth of one horn, and the heav
base supporting it, while the other}
grew naturally. This failure tol

develop not only the horn but it-sl

natural support, raises the queryi‘
whether a hornless race of cattlel

could be developed by using thei

deliorning compound for a number
of geiieratioiis. It is often claimed
that the chemical application is
painless, but the application of a
fluid powerful enough to destroy
so large a surface as the button on
the calf’s head must produce a
great deal of pain, and the calves
show this by nervous movements
of the head and attempting to rub
the irritated spot. VVhen used the
fluid should be applied to as young
calves as possible as the older the
calf the more it seems to suffer
when horns are removed.

BEl{.VlL'DA HAY FOR BUTTER.

[Bulletin Mississippi Station]

From the work accomplished
during the past three years it ap-
pears that-: -

1. Equal weights of Bermuda
and of Timothy hays have practi-
cally the same values for the pro-
duction of milk or butter.

2. At the prices at which they
can be purchased in Mississippi
(Bermuda .5410 per ton, Timothy
$21) Bermuda hay will produce
milk or butter at a much less cost
than will Timothy hay.

3. The milk and butter from
cows fed on steamed cotton seed
costs less than that from cows fed
on raw cotton seed. and but little
more than one-half as much as that
from cows fed on cotton seed meal.

4. The butter from steamed seed
is superior in quality to that from
either raw seed or from cotton seed
meal.

 

SWEET CLOVER.

Observant farmers have noticed
the habit of the sweet 01‘ Bokhara
clover, mcliotus alba, of growing in
the bottoms of brick yards and in
places along the road side where
the surface soil has been scraped
away; these unpromising situations
apparently being chosen in prefer-
ence to more fertile soils. Acting
on the hint thus given, the Ohio
experiment station in 1888 plowed
up, carefully prepared and seeded
to melilotus a piece of stiff clay
land, part of which had been strip-
ped of its soil some years previous
for brick making, and which had
since been very unsatisfactory
for tillage. The melilotus was
allowed to grow up and fall down,
reseeding the ground until the fall
of 1891, when a quarter acre of the
original patch was plowed and
sown to wheat, the same quantity
of similar land adjoining which
had been kept under rotation of
corn, oats and wheat, being prepar-
ed and sown at the same time and
in the same manner.

The result was a yield of 18.6
bushels of wheat per acre from the
land which had been cropped in
rotation, while that which had

THE GRANGE VISITOR.

grown inelilotus yielded at the 3
rate of 26.9 bushels per acre, and
is again self-seeded with a dense '
growth of melilotus.

This experiment alone is not
coiiclusive. I)i'obably the wheat
crop would have been iiici'eased as ‘
much at the end of one year,
as by four years‘ growtli of iiielilo- 
tus, but it was desired to study the
habit of the plantiii other respects. ,
especially that of self-seediiig and i
continuoiis _<__;i'owtli on the saine ;
land. tln-rc-fore it was left 1iiidis— ;
turbed until it had deiuoiistrateil 
its ability to inaintain itself.

The result is offered asa siiggt-s
tion to farmers who have i'efi'actory -
and uiiprodiictiveclays which illvy 3
may wish to ziiiieliorate cheaply
It must be i-eineinbered, ll0\\'(‘\'('l‘,‘
that the nielilotus has the habits ofl
a weed and must be kept in Check, ,
but this is easily done. '

As the nielilotus l_)(’l()ll;_{S to the‘
same family of plants as the clover;
, it will be understood that its 3_,rrowtli i
probably adds actual fei't.ilit_v to
,the soil, in addition to the physical
fimprovement produced by its deep
lgrowing roots. It may be sown
ibroadcast in the spring or in July.
Eat the rate of eight or ten pounds

 of seed to the acre.

l , [Bulletin Utah Station.]

 Prof. Saiiborii coiicludes his re-
‘iport on soiling steers with the fol-
l lowing summary:

‘; 1. Three sets of steers. of three
geacli, fed for ninety-two days. one
yset graziiig, one set fed on similar
food in yards, in the green state.
and one set on the same food, air
dried. made identical gains.

2. The gi'azed lot ate the grass

from 28.2 per cciit. more area than
the lot that was soiled.
; 3. The lot liavingair-di'ie(l food
3 relished it better than the lot fed
 on green grass, but required slight-
ily more food for a pound of gain,
probably no more, if as much, for
the dry weight gain made.

4. They required more (lry
matter for a pound of _«_:a.iii than
winter fed steers.

5. The strong iiidicatioiis are
that green food is no more valu-
able than well air-dried food.

(3. The indications were that
immature grass is no more valuable
or not as valuable as mature grass
and is in agreement with former
trials on this subject.

7. Half dried luceriie seemed to
be dangerous, 8.ltllOll;_'fl1 the evi-
deuce is very uncertain.

8. As the season grew warmer
the gain decreased and is in accord
with former obsei'vatioi1s.

9. It appears by this trial that
soiling is uiiiiecessary, dry food
answering the same purpose; that
winter feeding is quite as economi-
cal when cattle are fed in stalls or
yards as summer feeding in stalls
or yards; that grazing is somewhat
wasteful and that green grass and
young grass are no more effective
than dry and mature grass or hay.

THE HORN l-‘LY.

[From Bulletin Florida Experiment Station.)

This fly made its appearance in
Florida some time last year or late
in 1890.

As far as we have learned it was
not troublesome in this State until
last fall. Then it was abundant
enough to annoy milch cows. This
year it made its appearance as
early as the first week of April. It
may become a severe pest before
the end of this year. Florida cat-
tle running in hammocks and pine
woods will suffer severely before
the trouble will attract attention.

This fly is about a fourth of an
inch long. In appearance it re-
sembles the house fly, excepting
that it is much smaller and little
lighter in color, A rather sluggish
insect in that it does not fly much.

When disturbed by switch of
tail or shake of horn it rises a foot
or two above the cow and settles
almost as quickly again.

When alighting to feed it parts
the hair of the cattle and works its
way down to the skin, making it
appear as though it were “ stand-
ing on its head.”

VVings are constantly spread for
flight, making it quite difficult to
catch.

The name horn fly has been
given to it from the habit of clust-
ering on the base of horns while
resting. It does this only when
very abundant. It has also been
called dog fly in this State.

The damage it has done has been
variously estimated. In some places

 

00

east it caused niilch vows to lose
one-half in milk; others found it
uiiprofitable to keep fatteiiing
steers.

It was lirst noticed 1iearI’hila-
delphia in 1857; from there it has
spread rapidly soiithward. Last-
year it was taken in Geoi'_«_,ri:i. It
seeins that it was imported from
Europe about. six years ago.

The t‘f_{f_{S are deposited in cow
dung_: while it is still fresli, usually
not later than a niiiiute after its
dropping. Most of them are (le-

positeddii1'iii;;tl1e day between 9
and -l. and mainly between 9 and

l

noon.

The eggs hatch in twenty-four
hours after ilepiisitiiig. The hirvze
then descend into the dun5_:. reinain-
lll}..{, liowevei‘. iiezirtlie surface.

\Vll(‘I1 ready to ti'aiisfoi'iii, the
l2ll‘\’i1‘ descend into the §_;i‘oi1ndfroiii

‘0Il(‘—llHlfi() tliree-foiirths of an inch;

here they traiisforiii into ii pupa-
riuin.

In about two weeks from the
time the ('g_:_;S were deposited per-
fect flies (‘Ill(“l‘_L{(‘.

l’.EMl£I)ll~I;<.

Most i.{i'eii.sy siibstaiices will keep
flies otf cattle, and that which is
cheapest and not harmful to cattle
would be pi'efei'able, providing it
would be last-iiig.

Train oil or fish oil with ii little
sulphiir and carbolic acid added
has been recoiiiiiieiided. Fish oil
seeins to be the most lasting sub-
stance used.

Tliese 1'eiii«-(lies simply keep the

ing the day the dung could be
_«_:at-hered into piles every three or
four days, and the whole treated
with lime or land plaster. or a
spadcful of lime spread on each
separate pile. In this way the
larva: would be killed.

\\'e are indebted to l,)r. Kiley
and his assistants for the complete
knowledge of the life history of
this insect.

NYE’S Ml l.KS'l‘El{.

Bill Nye advertises his cow for
sale as follows: “Owing to ill-
health. I will sell at my residence
in township 16, range 1H west, ac-
cording to goveriimeiit survey, one
plush, raspberry colored cow, aged
eight years. She is a good milk-
ster and not afraid of the cars or
aiiytliing_; else. She is of uiidaunt-
ed coiirage and gives milk fre-
quently. To a man who does not
fear death in any form she would
be a great boon. She is very much
attached to her house at present by
means of a stay chain, but she will
be sold to any one who will agree
to use her right. She is one-fourth
Shorthorn and tliree-fourths hyena.
I will also throw in a double-barn
rel shotgun which goes with her.
In May she generally goes away
somewhere for a week or two, and
returns with a tall red calf, with
long wobbly legs. Her name is
Rose, and I prefer to sell her to a
non-resident.”
