A LETTER FOR MR. GOODRICH.
Old flIz'ss1'011, June 26‘, 1893.

Enos Goonarcu, DEAR SIR-
You tell of “the absurdity of ex-
empting other forms of wealth
and imposing a tax on naked land.
Governor Oglesby of Tllinois said,
“Our system of taxation is a ridi-
culous failure.” _ _

So, leading authorities every-
where agree that the system is a
jumble, that aims at everything
and striking where there is least
ability to bear it. _

It is plain that the rich and com-
bined readily shift their taxes
upon the poor and uncombined.
Tax labor’s products, and if_ not
shifted, then either the effect is to
increase the price or decrease the
quality, until the normal profit is
reached. Otherwise the produc-
tion is destroyed. _ _

I refer you to the agitatipn on
the subject of “pure f00d- I11
place of this we propose that the
holder of opportunity shall bear
the taxation. In other words tax
the opportunities of labor; not its
products.

I present to you a
spection: .

The basic opportunity or means
of all labor, is land. Even the
great systems of €XCh8-Ilges 35 the
railways are based on land fran-
chise. No form of labor, but land
is the very first consideration.
Should not, then, all land be as
free as possible to the users‘?

Should land be a thing of
monopoly and speculation?

As the means ‘of making use the
basis of possession we propose to
so tax land values that the mere
holder and speculator_ can 110
longer ply his trade with profit.
‘Vs seek for equality of opportu-
nity. Land is the basic opportu-
nity. I well know of the manage‘
ment of our Micliiganlands and the
scouiidrely work done. Permit me
to say that it would not have been
possible under_a single tax system”.

" Unearned increment a myth?
Surely you have not carefiillyreail
the works of leading Pohtlcal
economists. That increase of
values that accrues to the holder of
land, which in no wise depends
upon his labor——we call the
“unearned increment." _ I

Let me illustrate: Back 111 the
fifties in Gratiot county in this
state, a place was started called
Fish Creek, if I riglltly _1'9m“m‘
her. The people came in, pur-
chased lots and began to build.
For a time it grew. Soon after
Hubbardston was started, a little
way north, and proved ‘the “more
desirable. Lots 111 F1811 bmek
tumbled, rent came down, vacant
houses. I was personally o‘rle1‘eCl
the tavern stand for less than the
building cost. It became as
nothing. . Did the labor of the
owners of the land make the rise,
in value of those lots for the‘
while, or the demand for those
lots‘?

Sir, land values, or the mercan-
tile value of land, is not not made
by labor, but arises from compe-
tition for that land. Land V8-11188
come and go with population.

They arise with the demand,
they go down with a cessation of
that demand. The value of land
for agricultural purposes is not by
any means the highest value.
There are, in this country, lots and
lands upon which a stroke of Work
has never been done that would
readily exchange for thousands of
acres of fine agricultural ‘land.
Land values never arise until the
second person wants the same
land. When thousands want it
then land sells for hundreds or
thousands of dollars for the foot

key for in-

front.

As taxes are_made necessary by

.._.”._--.-.a.............._..-.......-..-....u.....-

population, so we propose to take
this value as far as needed, for the
use of that population.

As the community makes that
value they belong to the commu-
nity. Thus labor is virtually re-
lieved from taxation. Instead of
discouraging labor, as heretofore,
we now discourage the drone who
would withhold the means of labor.
Inother words by freeing this basic
means of labor, we destroy the
principal means of one man living
on the labor of another. This we
single taxers are willing to try at
the Bar of Reason.

You dismiss my quotation from
Gen. Francis A. Walker in refer-
ence to the struggle for Oklahoma
lands by calling them “fools for
tumbling over each other for
worthless jack pine lands.” Surely,
when men so compete for poor
land it is strong evidence that they
need land.

There is plenty of land every-
where, but monopoly prices place
it beyond the reach of the people.
The scarcity is artificial but effect-
ive. You would like to have Mr.
Walker and myself read Henry A.
Robinson’s able State report.
Thank you for this reference, I
have it by my side. But, have you
read it‘? I fear you have only
skimmed it. If you fully read it
Why did you not give us more of
it.

Let me tell the readers of our
excellent VISITOR what you have
failed to do. Henry A. Robinson
is, like myself, a singletaxer. He
shows by figures, and a system of
unique and plain diagrams that
shows that measured by the value,
the farmers of Michigan are the
least holders of land of all. More,
he plainly shows that if taxed on
the basis of the single tax the
farmers would be largely the gaiii-
ers. Sir, this report is doing a
giant’s work for the single tax.
Here I ask the readers of the
VISITOR to read this report. You
very generously express the con-
viction that the single taxers of
Old Mission in justice should be
in the Traverse City Insane
Asylum. This superb argument I
leave for the readers.

The tenor of your articles points
to the seeming fact that farniing
has not been your only occupation.
Surely I have only met such lan-
guage from land speculators, liere-
tofore. I sincerely hope you may
have light.

For humanity, yours,
L. l.'NDEiiHiLL.

 

SILVER AND \\'Hl‘l.\'|‘, l{EVIl-IWED.

Different people looking at the above
subject from different stziiidpoints might
easily come to diverse conclusions‘. but
by what process of reasoning one can

accept the conclusions given by jiidge _l.'

G. Rziiiisdcll in one of your recent issues
is 21 conundrum. lle .<a\'.s' of .\li‘. \Vliitc-

head-
"llc E1\.<ll]1l€S that free coinage would
increase the money circulation and
>l< >l< =i<

therefore raise the price of wheat.
“ He must be aware that the government
under Arthur and Cleveland, al-
though they wcrc coining two million dol-
l£ll‘S zi iiioiitli wcrc unable to get more than
about one silver dollar per czipita into cir-
culation. To satisfy the wants of the peo-
ple silver certiliczites‘ were issued; these
were acceptable to the people for awhile.
But these certificates lacked the essential
element of debt paying monc_v,——they were
not legal tender. The people insisted on
having more money and better money.
Foremost among these was the Michigan
State Grange. By :1 unanimous vote that
Grange memoralized Congress to purchase
the entire output of our gold and silver
mines not required for use in the arts, and
make these metals the basis for a legal
tender currency to be issued in payment.
Congress in the passage of the Sherman
silver law substantially complied with that
request, so far as the silver product ex-
tends, by purchasing the entire yield of the
silver -mines of the United States atits com-
mercial value and issuing in payment there
for legal tender treasury notes, thus adding
fifty odd millions annually to our legal
tender circulation. How does Mr. \Vhite-
head propose to increase the circulation of

silver by free coinage when its entire value
is put in circulation now ?"

Just three years ago silver was at the
front in Congress and today it is, the fore-
most public question of national and inter-
national thought.

The Sherman law was passed as :1 coin-
promise measure then and now it is bearing

ferent measure from the presentation of it
given now by Mr. Ramsdell and also from
the measure advocated then by the Michi-
gan State Grange. just three years ago
Mr. Ramsdell wrote concerning nation-
al finances:

“ First, then, we suggest an increase in
the circulating medium of exchange, based
on gold and silver in proportion at least to
the increasing demands of the inci‘c:i.s-e in
population, the increasing wealtli of the
country, and the increasing amount of
production per capita. * *5‘ *

‘-Ii’esulz2ml, That we consider it for the
best interest of the farmer, as well as-.tlie
entire debtor class of the United States, that
the whole product of gold and silver from
our mines should be utilized by the gov-
ernment as the basis of a legal tender money
currency by purchasing the entire out-
put of the mines at its bullion value, and
issuing thereon legal tender coin certificates
at its coin value, but without coinage of
either metal until the necessities of the
trczisury require it. * * *

“Our reasons for urging these matters
are based upon the law of supply and de-
mand which is applicable to money as well
as to products. The greater the supply of
legal tender money, the more will the
products of the farm and of labor bring,
and the lower will the rate of interest fall;
and the greater the contraction or string-
ency in the money market, the higher the
rate of interest, and the less will labor and
products bring.”

Sixty days 'after the above statements
were published the Sherman silver law was
enacted. It provided for purchasing about
the amount of our annual silver output at
bullion value but If." +;';,; . ._.:4i=‘f_:.;e.r.ti,-‘iwyes
to its coin value. it ',n-ovidcd for" legiii
tender certificates but not for all purposes,
as it contained a clause specially permitting
gold contrzicts whose use have largely in-
creased since its passage authorizing them.
The same defectis carried into the redemp-
tion of the certificates gold being contin-
uzilly given the preference. The only sim-
ilarity we can discover between the expo-
sition of the resolutions of Michigan State
Grunge given three years ago by  G.
Rumsdcll and the Slicrman silver law is in
the iiicrensc in the amount of currency is‘-
.~UC(l annually, and that increase is much
less than demanded by the State Grange
resolution which calls for coin certificates‘.
llad these been given the currency would
have been increased zmnually by :1 tlcllllllc‘
amouiit; now it is incrcziscd by a less and
vziriziblc amount. So far as the f&iI'lllt.‘i‘ ls
concerned it would not matter \\'llt:l.l1L‘l‘ilils'
increase occurred at the hands of the treu.<-
urer of the Lliiitcd Stuics by coin certifi-
czitcs or at the liaiids of the bullion owner
by coin or its certificates. Now the incre;isc
is contracted.

Mr, Rumsdcll zirgiics‘ zit SOIDC length in
favor of retaining the basis of the treasury
notes on the cx(:li:1ngc:1blc viiluc of .~‘ll\‘(‘l‘
as against its coinugc vziluc. llc sccins to
hiivc turned his back on Llic argument he
published before he become :1 cziiididzuc for
jiisiice of the Suprenic Court of Micliigzin
wherein he says: “The troublc with all
gold advocates is they ignore the law of
.-‘upply mid demand to which moiicy is sub-
ject as well as pI‘0tl‘.lL‘LS. Altliougli the
production of gold is constzintly diminish-

increase in the iiicdiuni of excli.mgc,_\'ct
they insist that one-half of the circulutiiig
medium of commerce shall be dcmoiic-
tired and the whole business: of cxclizingc
thrown upon gold alone.

“ if there were no debts, individual or
public, forlhe payment of money in ex-
istcncc, then such :1 course would prove less
Ol)jCCll()l]1ll)lC as everything would fall in
value with the supply of gold and the rclu-
tivc worth of coiiimoditics would rcinain
the sonic. But there are billions on billions
of iiidebtednessin the United States, indi-
viduzil, corporate and municipal. "Piled
Pelion on Osse, and Ossc on Olyiiipiis
piled,”—all of which would have to be
puidiu gold. This would double the value
of every debt to the holder and divide
by two the value of every product except
gold. * * * *

“It is this additional value that capital
is seeking; not only this, but the more
than three-fold greater appreciation which
gold would gain by making it the only debt
paying medium. It is this additional bur-
den that the debtor is resisting when he
asks that the quality of silver with gold
as a debt-paying medium shall be main-
tained, and its volume increased in propor-
tion to the increase in the volume of busi-
ness and population."

The logic of events shows that the Sher-
man silver law does not fulfil these re-
quirements as free coinage would have
done, or as the substitute proposed by the
Michigan State Grange would have done.
For a time silver advanced in price follow-
ed closely by wheat and other products;
then came the Baring failure which un-

its fruit. As we look at it it is :1 very dif- i

"pr'es‘erves more v  .''.:a 133-

masked the true bearings of :1 law that
denied to silver the right of coinage or of
coinage representation. It must stand only
as a token, a substitute for gold in which
ultimate payment must always be made.
There are but few silver dollars “ whose
.souls go iiizirchiiig on” save those givcn
; under the Bland law whose coinage opera-
tion was continued till July 1, 1891. As ti-
nzmciul events have increased the tension on
the iizirrow basis of gold it has zipprecizited
rapidly in relative value and silver lias cor-
respoiidingly declined in price until it has
reached its lowest quotatioiis. But so also
have the international products of wheat,
cotton and wool, all staple products of the
.-\mericari farmer, and which have reached
thc loxvcst prices ever known.

.\Ir. Rzimsdell knows that if the price of
silver should zidvzmcc to 3i.29 per ounce
the price of wheat would not remain where
it is now, and that if an ounce of silver now
buys a busliel and one-tenth of wheat it
would not then buy a bushel and nine-
tenths.

just three _vez1r:~' ago he wrote: -‘ The
silver bullion in the silver dollar will buy
as much and more of every product of
labor or lzind today, gold excepted, and
would have bought as much on any day
since silver was demonctized in 1873, as a
gold dollar would buy then.”

\Vhercin, then, has the silver dollar de-
preciated? As compared with all other
products than gold, it has zipprecizited, for
it will buy more now than it or gold would
buy in 1673, and then its bullion value was
3 per cent above gold. The bullion in 21
gold dollar will buy 29 per cent (now he
says 44 per cent) more now than will the
l)ullion in a silver dollar. Then has not
gold appreciated :9 (now 44) per cent. more
than silver? \Vlien you compel the debtor
to pay gold instead of silver have you not
added :9 (now .14) per cent to his indebted-
ness and given that amount to his creditor?

“ That metal is best adapted to form the
basis of a legal tender money circulation
which is most stable in its value as compared
with the value of all other products; for it
and j.=.:stl_'.= *.h.<=_re-
lations between debtor and creditor.
ed by this standard, silver is the better
metal. It has been more stable than gold
for centuries. As neither metal is, or ever
will be again used as a circulating medium
but only as a basis of a paper circulation,
the difference in weight as compared with
value has ceased to be a consideration.
Tlicrcforc, I submit that if either metal be
made the sole bzisis of money, that metal
should be silver,” \Vlicrc is‘ there any rc-

tion when it was dropped from our coinage
in 1873 and the gold dollar which was never

“the $600,000,000 of gold would be with-

conceded by eminent authorities: Second,
What we have would retain its relative
value to our products the 581116 as now, and
if its coinage value will not stand the change
we have the right to alter that coinage
value the same as we had in 1837 when the
gold coinage was changed to conform to
the new ratio fixed between silver and gold.
The real question before the country is
this: “ Shall the citizens of free America
have :1 standard of value that shall bear a
just and equitable and stable relation to the
products of their labor or shall we continue
a standard of value that year by year is
leaving them :1 lessened amount of those
products because the compulsory demands
of debts, doctors, taxes and death, call for
an ever increasing ratio of products?”

In the solution of this question the little
red schoolhouse will take its hand and ulti-
mately mm will triumph over money!

MILK.

PROF. P. M. HARWOOD.

A few years ago the best author-
ities gave the average analysis of
cow’s milk as containing 88 per
cent water, a little later 88.5 per
cent and now it is 8'7 per cent.
This is undoubedly due to selection
and use of better cows. The Clian-
nel Island breeds have been es-
pecially influential in this. ' The
best of all breeds as well as grades
have also been potential factors in
bringing about this change. Let
the good work go on!

The average composition of cow’s
milk at the present time as given
by Conn is as follows:

The composition of milk varies
in different animals. The most
widely varying as well as the most
valuable element in milk of differ‘-
ent cows is the fat. It varies in
normal milk in different cows from
2 to 6 per cent, sometimes even
passing these limits. The value of
milk as food depeii is more or less
upon its total solids. The value of
milk for butter depends upon its
fat content. Its cheese value de-
pends upon both fat and casein.
Cheese also contains a small amount
of albumen. Everything else goes

different cows were used and 21,731
pounds of cheese were made. It
was found that the average of the
normal milk contained per 100
unds, 37 pounds of fat. It varied
from 3.04 to 4.4 pounds. The casein
in the same milk varied from 1.93
to 3 pounds and averaged 2.48
pounds. The albumen varied
from 0.55 to 0.86 and averaged
0.66 pounds. It will thus be seen
that the average amount of fat
to casein and albumen was 1.20 to
1.00 and of fat to casein 1.50 to 1.00.
It was also noted that as the season
advanced and the fat increased the
casein also increased in the same
ratio; the deduction being that fat
is a correct measure value for milk
even for cheese making. This how-
ever is not universally true. It,
does not apply to cows or dairiesi

The cheapest feed raised by the
swine grower is grass. Every
pound of pork made from grass is
attlie least possible expense. Every
swine grower should make an effort
to have a liberal supply of green
feeds such as clover, blue grass,
rye and oat pastures. Not only is
it necessary because of its cheap-
ness but because of its benefit to
the hog’s health and development.

The beginner should not attempt
to keep too many sows.

\Vith swine management, as with
any other occupation, it is best to
learn from those that have been suc-
cessful in the business.

Don’t get in too much of a hurry

members of the Order. In my

agriculture depends upon natural

Each machine is supplied with the following additional accessories: 1 Hemmer and Feller (one

The improved‘ automatic bobbin winder is so simple that a child can easily operate it——winding the

Are you preparing to go to the

If you have the time and money
include Aug. 14 at Bay View among
your outings. It is “Farmers
Day,” you know.

 

When you have a few moments
to spare, after your VISITOR reaches
you, jot down a few thoughts on
some article you read there, and
send to us for publication, Thus
by thorough discussion will we
reach conclusions.

 

The unique and interesting
article in the last VISITOR. entitled
“ A Dream~—the Cause of one
Woman’s Outing,” was written by
Miss Julia Ball of Hamburg. By

some oversight her name was

,omitted, and the error was not

noticed until too late. If you don’t

remember the article, brother,
read it. It was on page five of last

issue.

Bro. D. W. VVorking desires a
correction in his article in last
issue,on “ The Grange and Silver.”
He says, “ In quoting the resolu-
tion from page 203 of the proceed-
ings of 1892, I should have added
that the resolutions were adopted
at the previous session of the
National Grange and were quoted
there by the Legislative Com-
mittee.”

THE GLORIOUS FOURTH.
Are you going to celebrate?
And how? What will your chil-
dren do on the Fourth? Will they
learn anything about the day?
Will you do anything to teach them
what it means? Do you know
what it means, yourself? Will you
and your children love your
country more, will you honor the
revolutionary heroes more, will you
appreciate liberty more, when the
sun sets on the eve of the Fourth,
that when it was greeted in the
morning by the sputtering of a few
Chinese fire crackers. If you do
not, you are not the patriot we took
you to be. If you do not teach
your children something of these
things, you are not the man you
ought to be.
Do you call this talk twaddle?
Then remember three things~—that
true patriotism lies at the basis of
good citizenship, that true patriot-
ism is declining, that it is your
duty to revive it by educating the
young into an appreciation of its
duties.

 

S UNDA Y OPENING.

The question of Sunday opening
of the “'orld’s Fair, so bitterly
fought for a year and a half, has
been settled in favor of an open
Sunday.

The issue was at first somewhat
poorly defined. It was between
opening and closing without spec-
ifications. Gradually the lines of
opinion became drawn and, speak-j
ing broadly, there were on the one‘
hand, those who opposed any sort
of opening. They believed that
such a course would be a moral
wrong, a sacrilege indeed. The bulk
of the orthodox church member-
ship apparently took this view. On
the other side were the ultra liber-
al people in the churches, the peo-
ple without any church or other
religions prejudices and those fin-
ancially interested. They favored an
open Sunday “to keep visitors from
vice, to allow working men to visit
the fair and to promote religious

. of many who will set them down as

doubt boycott the fair. It is ex-
tremely doubtful Whether there
will be the least gain financially
to the fair as the result of Sunday
opening.

Nor have the so called liberal
religionists, who advocated une-
quivocal opening, very great cause
for triumph. They have been com-
pelled to side with the mercenary,
the careless and the vicious, on this
question, as against a large body of
moral, conscientious, substantial
people. They have argued relig-
ious freedom while ruthlessly
trampling the consciences of mil-
lions of men and women as intelli-
gent and devoted as they. Call the
position of the Sabbatarians fanat-
icism if you will,it was the express-
ion of their best and deepest feel-
ings and most earnest convictions.
Religious liberty has not won the
victory it expected.
On the other hand the opponents
of any sort of opening have little
consolation, except that their de-
feat was not fairly accomplished.
They may have the happiness of
feeling themselves in the right, it is
true, but We believe they neverthe-
less must answer for a grand oppor-
tunity woefully neglected. Even if
they had won; even if after such a
fight as has been waged, the fair had
been closed, we believe it would
have been a dear victory. They‘

The appointments in Michigan
for H011. Mortimer lVhitehead,
Lecturer of the National Grange,
are fast assuming form and I shall
be able to announce in the next
copy of the VISITOR the full list of
dates and places of meetings. I
can possibly notify some localities
of their assignment of dates be-
fore that time by private letter.
The full ten days that Bro. White-
head can give to the Grange cause
in Michigan will be fully occupied.
I sincerely hope that full and com-
plete arrangements may be made
in every case, so that large audi-
ences will be gathered to hear this
eloquent speaker.

THE ORDER PROSPEIIOUS.

It is clieering to note the general
sentiment expressive of new and
increased interest in Grange work
from all parts of the State. The
good work done by county deputies
and state lecturers during the win-
ter just past has left a new inspira-
tion and a general renewed effort
seems to pervade the whole field.
If all good Patrons continue their
work and follow closely, and take
advantage of the favorable condi-
tions now with us, the order will
make -.1 granil march forward in
the near future.
no N01‘ NEGLECT sI7.\I.\IER GRANGE

MEETINGS.

The summer months have in
years past, with many Granges

'proven to be a season of losing

Interest in Grange work. This
should not and need not be so.
The season of flowers and pleasant
balmy evenings, when a short drive
just at _the close of day is so
deliglitful, should be conducive to
to the largest and happiest Grange
gatherings of any during the whole
year.

lvherc is the farmer that can
not well afford to quit work in the
field an hour earlier the day or
evening of Grange meetings?
Being creatures of habit and sus-
ceptiblc to change I suggest that
this be tried and put in practice
by Patrons over the state. An
hour once in two weeks will not be
missed and it will give enjoyment
and comfort to what was before,
through late work and hurried,
fretted preparation, almost a bur-
densome task.

CONDUCT MEETINGS TO SUIT THE
CIRCUMSTANCES.
At this season of the year, long

and ,tedious literary programs
should be studiously avoided

by Lecturers in laying out
Grange work. Continued work
and excessive warm weather in-
cline to make the mind tired and
sluggish, and long literary pro-
grams are not enjoyable or profit-
able.

Have one or two seasonable
questions, a good supply of music,
perhaps a recitation or selection
by some of the young members.
The social part that comes at an
intermission should be made an
important feature and will be
enjoyed by all. Be prompt in
attendance, call the Grange on
time, do the general business
promptly and correctly, and close
the Grange early. In this way you
will find that you will have no
trouble in sustaining well attended
and profitable Grange meetings
during the summer months. The
Grange that sleeps during the sum-
mer is hard to awaken in the fall
season. It is better to apply
stimulants and keep awake so that
no ground will be lost.

GEO. B. Hoarox.

NOTICE THIS.
Benson Lossing. LL. D., the
distinguished historian, has said
that Miss Holley (more familiarly
known to a loving public as
Samantha Allen, Josiah Allen’s
VVife) is a wise and eflicient re-
former; an accute and moral
philosopher; a genuine humorist
and a most skillful limner of
special phases of social life every-
where to be seen. Her ‘ episodian’
sermons are dramatic and incisive;
her philosophy is self-den1onstra-
tive and her humor always has
beneficence and not mere amuse-
ment as its prime motive. Her
book “ Samantha at Saratoga” is
genial and not so keenly satirical
like Cervantes who set all Europe
a-laughing the tomfooleries of
chivalry out of existence; like
Holmes, who by a patriotic little
poem saved the frigate Constitu-

'tion from destruction; like ‘Vint-

tier, who dismissed from our
statute books a barbarous law by
the burning Words of his ‘ Prisoner
for Debt;’ like Mrs. Stowe who
pierced the heart of the institution
of slavery by her pen; Miss
Holley’s books are doing in a quiet
way a great Work for the promotion
of needed social reforms. I know
of no volume more healthful for
perusal by the old and the young,
the learned and the unlearned.

FREE COIN.-\GE A.\'l) THE FARMER.

At the present time any person
may take gold to the mint and re-
ceive its full weight in gold coin.
\Ve are only asking that the same
privilege be e\'ten<led to the hold-
ers "of silver. The law now in
force is an unjust discrimination
against silver in favor of gold, and
it is this alone which has brought

values. Silver at one time under
free coinage was at premium above
gold. It is not that silver has lost,
but that gold has gained in the last
decade. This has been brought
about partly by the large output
of silver, partly by the relative de-
crease in the gold produced, but
most of all by the demonetization
of silver. It is claimed that free
coinage would bring inflation. All
the silver in the world amounts to
about $3,700,000,000. If it were
all (lumped down here at once it
would only make about $58 per
cap/ifa. The same authority claims
that it would bring contraction.
As to that, for eighty years silver
and gold were coined free, and
there was no more disturbance in
the markets about one metal than
the other.-—F1-om “ A FAEuER’s

PROGRAM FOR CERES DAY IN

THE GRANGE.

Selected and Arranged by Mrs. H. 3“-
Woodniau, (‘liuirman of the
National Coimnittee on
Wonian’s Work in

the Grange.
To the Cnnunitfee on

Work in the Gran_qe:

We have promised in our
National Circular to furnish pro-
grams and suggestions for Grange
entertainments. I now send you
my offering as suggestive for Ceres
Day: _

1. Let Ceres be appropriately
dressed in white and the colors of
her office, wearing a corn colored
sash, and a crown composed of the
finest of grains and grass€S.W1t_11
the flowers that grow in then‘
midst, tastefully arranged, and
attractive as well as emblematic,
holding in her hand a sickle, and at
her side a large bundle of cut
grains. She can be sitting or
standing on a raised platform,
large enough for the three
goddesses, with the national flag
floating over her. Flora will enter
decorated with her emblems, wear-
ing a pink sash, carrying in_ her
hands a profusion of flowers either
in a basket, or held lightly in her
hands, stops in front of Ceres and
and repeats the following:

Hail to thee beautiful goddess.
Gladly we welcome you here,

While thy gentle hand holds the scepter.
Nothing have farmers to fear.

Long may thy banner float proudly,
Over our homes and the lea. _

Long may thy emblems be cherished
In this beautiful land of the free.

(She then takes her place at
the right of Ceres). Pomona now
comes forward decorated with a
green sash, holding a cornucopia
overflowing with fruits, blossoms
and vines and repeats,

Ceres, fair goddess and sister,
I come to worship with you
Bringing my emblems in plenty
The sweetest and fairest to view.

The seed time and harvest will come
As long as that flag waves above us,

Then scatter the seed along your way
For all the dear ones that love us.

Then takes her place at the left
of Ceres and the choir sings “Hail
to the Harvest,” in Grange Melo-
dies, page 125.

2. An address or essay from
Ceres entitled “Sowing and Reap-
ing,” followed by a song op page
179, “Sowing and Reaping.’

AUTUMN.
FROM Bi.AcKw0oD’s MAGAZINE.

Tis the golden gleam of an autumn day,
With the soft rain raining as if in play;

And a tender touch upon everything.

As if autumn remembered the days of spring.

In the listening woods there is not a breath

To shake their gold to the sward beneath;

And a glow as of sunshine upon them lies,
Though the sun was hid in the shadowed skies.

N0 sorrow upon the landscape weighs,

No grief for the vanished summer days:
But a sense of peaceful and calm repose.
Like that which age in its autumn knows.

The springtime longings are past and gone;
The passions of summer no longer are known.
The harvest is gathered, and autumn stands
serenely thoughtful, with folded hands.

Over all is thrown a memorial hue,

A glory ideal the real ne'er knew:

For memory sifts from the past its pain,
And suffers its beauty alone to remain.

With half a smileuand half a sigh,

It ponders the past that has hurried by;
Sees it, and feels it. and loves it all,
Content it has vanished beyond recall.

0. glorious autumn thus serene.

’|'hus living and loving all that has been!
Thus calm and contented let me be,

When the autumn of age shall come to me.

8. Remarks by the Wforthy
Master. Closing song, “lVho will
Reap?” page 130.

Let each member of the Grange
bring something of the products of
the farm, garden or household,
anything that can be contributed
of the value of not less than five
cents, put into packages, labeled
and value written upon the out-
side as a donation to Ceres, to be
sold by her to those present, one-
half of the amount to go into the
Grange treasury, the other half to
the Grange temple fund.

 

FROM THE NATIONAL GRANGE
HEADQUARTERS.

To THE EDITOR GRANGE Visiroa
—The daily attendance at the great
Exposition is materially increasing.
A corresponding increase of callers
is noted at the “Grange Head-
quarters.” “'e have a number of
boxes in which calling members
can place their parcels and collect
them again at their pleasure. Pa-
trons can also receive and send
their mail from this office; simply

The Princess Eulalia has been
one of the distinguished guests at
the Fair the past Week. Her features
are distinctly Anglo Saxon and her
complextion blonde with hair to
correspond. One day and evening
were given over to parades, recep-
tions, music, pyrotechnics, etc., in
her honor. Two or three other
days she visited and inspected the
gieat Fair much as other mortals

0.

Oflice everytliiiig, man nothing.
On May 1st. the President of the
United States visited the fair, ad-
dressed the great multitudes, enter-
ed many of the buildings, but was
all the while beseiged by an im-
mense tlirong eager to catch but a
glimpse of the chief executive of
this great commonwealth. This
action on the part of the masses is
natural and probably right, but
how soon the person who reaches
this exalted position is forgotten
when he vacates the great office.
The only living ex-President has
spent some days of the past week
looking over and enjoying the fair
as a humble citizen, and not even
a corpoi'al’s guard of office seekers
have impeded his progress.

The great feature of the week
has been German day, Thursday,
when our Dutch-Yankee brethren
fairly took possession of the
grounds by force of great numbers.
The Germans are a thrifty, indus-
trious, vigorous people and the
part they are taking in this fair
does them and their county much
credit.

The agriciilturist is liable to have
an opportunity to come in Contact
with the walking delegate and get
in the region of more wind than
his system needs or his business

can assimilate. It is an open
question as to whether the average
farmer may not harness old Boreas
and make him help out in some of
the farm work. Probably the
greatest display of utilizing wind-
mills is the general wind-mill vil-
lage south of the Agricultural

building and near this oflice. Many

articles of machinery are driven
by the wind. _
There are many object lessons

not laid down in the guide books

that one is liable to “fall over” in
a stroll about the grounds. Here
is a specimen. In a beautiful grass
plat just south of the wind-mill ex-
hibit stand two little buildings,
both evidently having been built
with care. One is a plain white
rather inartistic but very comfort-
able appearing cottage and on its
end is the following endorsement:
“The Workingman’s Model Home.”
The second stands just 45 feet from
the first. It is rustic and unique
in appearance and cost a great deal
more in construction. It has color-
ed glass in its windows so that the
outsiders are obliged to cross its
threshold to see within. It is con-
structed of small hewn logs and is
of tasty architectural appearance,
but from the end of its plate logs
and the projection of_each rafter,
the darting tongue and grinning
features of a vile serpent appear.
The endorsement on its side tells
the balance of the object lesson
and is as follows: “Kentucky
lVhiskey.” Fortunately for the
workingman engaged in agricul-
tural pursuits, the establishments
branded whiskey are located as a
rule more than fifty feet from their
homes and not close by as they
frequently are in cities and large
manufacturing towns. ,

Interest in the great competitive
dairy test is still unabated. Seven
ihys more of the product has gone
tojudgmentwith the iiry of awards
and all of its scales between 90 and
95 points in a possible 100, showing
it all to be extra if not fancy butter.
The great question now with the
breed superintendents is to so
handle the feeding that a maximum
of product may result from a min-
imum cost of feed stuffs.

The first general building south
of the State buildings and directly
north of horticultural hall (the
children’s building intervening) is
the woiiian’s building. This build-
ing cost in round numbers $140,000
and was designed by a woman,
Miss Sophia G. Hayden being the
architect and to her was awarded
the prize of $1,000 as well as the
honor of execution of the design.
On the first floor is located a model
hospital and a model, kindergarten,
each occupying a space 80 by 60 feet.
Just opposite the main entrance
is the bureau of information. On
the second floor and in the north
pavilion are the great assembly
room and club room. In the first
there is an elevated stage for the ac-
commodation of speakers; the other
room is where all the orders with
which women are identified have
their headquarters. Just opposite
this in the south pavilion, the model
kitchen, refreshment rooms and
other liomelike arrangements are
located. Every day at half past
ten Madam Rorer gives an object
lesson in cooking, performing the
work and sampling the product
right there. ‘lVliile the Matrons
of our Order re everywhere justly
celebrated fo their skill and tact
in preparing the staff of life as well
as some of the crutches that lend
support to it, many points can be
learned and I trust our Sisters will
avail themselves of this opportunity
of a visit to this school. It is free
and takes only an hour’s time, giv-
ing many tired ladies a chance to
sit and rest as well as gain prac-
tical methods of preparing the
dinner for the good man of the
house.

Past Master and present Secre-
tary of the Executive committee
National Grange, Hon. J. J. lVood-
man of Michigan, has been with us
for the past week.

tongue. Very few people had heard the
name Eulalie before the arrival of the in-
fzinta in this country, and popular experi-
ments in pronunciation since then have
disclosed the fact that it is capable of great
variety in expression. Every class of peo-
ple outside the Spanish community pro-
nounces the name differently. The Span-
iards all pronounce it alike, and their pro-
nunciation it the proper one. A lVorl¢l
reporter who recently mingled with Span-
ish residents of New York in order to ob-
tain their views on the subject, ascertained
that they pronounced the name of the
infants “ Ay-oo-lah-lee-ah,” with the first
two syllables run together rapidly, and the
accent on the “1ah."——-ZVew Tor/a lVorld.

A WOMAN’S PRIVILEGE.

 

EDITOR VISITOR~In the issue
of May 15, there appeared an arti-
cle, under this heading, “A Man’s
Ideas” and signed “A Brother.”
After reading it over several times
I thought I would take a woman’s
privilege and find alittle fault with
it. In the first place he says “ the
floor and curtains must be of a
snowy whiteness.” That is all right
brother, but, would you stop at the
door when in- a great hurry and
brush and wipe your feet until no
dirt remained on them in order to
help keep the floor spotless, and
not put your (sometimes) dirty
fingers on the snowy curtains
when you wanted to look out
of the window real bad? The
stove should certainly shine un-
less some man tried to spit in
the hearth and missed the mark,
then how does the stove look even
if it is polished like a mirror. Of
courseawoman who “understands
her business” should never ‘have
dirty dishes sitting around to call
flies and if a man understands his
business he will get screens so
there need- be no danger. Then
“it only requires a few minutes
each morning to pick up and put
in order many things that give a
disorderly look to a house.”

You are right again brother, but

' nine times out of ten it is a man

that has left his coat, hat, gloves,
overcoat and numberless other
things around that give it the un-
tidy look, when if he only took the
trouble to put them in their proper
places it would save much work and
many times a cross word from an
overworked woman.

Then “ the meals must be pleas-
ing to the family (meaning the
lords of creation) or a divorce is
apt to be the consequence.”

Are the men always as ready to
provide these dainties as the women
are to prepare them?

And worst of all is your “ suspi-
picion of women‘ who wish to be-
long to societies and clubs.” VVhy
should they not at times desire to
leave their household cares and
think of something else. Our
Grange, for instance. Every one
knows that it was designed, to edu-
cate and elevate the mind a trifle
above just what we shall eat. I
know our grandmothers raised
large families, spun, wove, and kept
house well, but are you willing to
go back to the time when johnny-
cake, mush and milk, beans, dried
apple pie, and once in awhile, on
great occasions, a “soft cake” were
some of the dainties prepared for
the men whose grandsons nowadays
require their favorite delicacies to
be on the table three times a day,
even at the expense of a wife’s or
mother’s health, and this too with-
out any of the modern labor-
saving conveniences for house-
work?

Have you looked around your
premises lately? And if so did
you not see a new binder, mower,
hay tedder, wheel cultivator, corn
planter, and the latest fashion in
plows, and all belonging to you to
assist you about your work? If
this is the case why shall the wom-
en not have some help about their
work, which is just as hard, accord-
ing to their strength, as a man’s.

North Branch, Mich.

EDITOR GRANGE VIsIToa-I hope
all the brothers do not feel the
same in regard to woman’s work as
the brother who wrote the article
in the VISITOR of May 15. If the
unmarried ones did and expressed
themselves in the same way I am
afraid they would find it difficult
to find a partner to take charge of
their kitchens.

The brother thinks the kitchen
should be large, airy and clean. In
this I agree with him, as it is
healthier and more convenient.
But I should like to know what is
wrong with a painted floor? They
are just as healthful and easier to
clean, and in my mind they look
much better.

As to order I agree with the
brother. There is no place where
order is more needed than in the
farmer’s kitchen.

The favorite dishes also are all
right so far as health will permit,
but I believe it is a wise housewife
who refuses to load her table with
rich, dainty foods instead of the
more substantial kinds, even though
it be more pleasant to the taste.
The brother looks with suspicion
on the present tendency of women
to drift into other lines of work;
but just so long as the housekeeper
has to work from year to year for
her board and clothes, and those
often grudgingly given, will women
seek other employment and they
are not to be blamed for it either.
Where is the man that would not
do the same?

The brother thinks because our
grandmothers did their work with-
out the present conveniences that
we should, but why should we any
more than the stronger sex? Would
our brother be willing to plow with
an ox team and a wooden plow, or
gather his grain with a sickle, just
because his grandfather did? I
think not. Neither should we keep
in the old way.

In conclusion I would say, that
the lighter the work is made for
the housewife the happier the
home will be.

M. A. BRADSHAW.

A new name this next week!

A WOMAN’S IDEA.

We were much surprised that
the brother so freely expressed his
views in a recent issue on the
subject of woman’s work in the
farm kitchen in summer. He
thinks the kitchen should be
large, light and airy. Here we
agree, but how many are?

The average farm kitchen is
usually planned by the farmer
himself, who is sure he knows
more about the wants of a woman
in that line than she can possibly
know herself, and the result is
generally that the smallest, dark-
est, dingiest cubbyhole in the
house is made the kitchen. Plenty
good enough for any woman to
work in. A couple of windows
with eight by ten glass nailed in
with tacks admits the light and air;
one door looking out toward the
barn lets in cooling draughts.
This one door does .not always
have a good screen, fitting closely
with a spring that will shut it
quickly. Even if it did, we never
knew a man who could possibly
hold even a three minute conversa-
tion through a screen door, but must
stand in the doorway holding it
wide open to admit every fly that
has been lurking around for a
chance to get in and roost upon
those spotless white curtains.

“The stove should be a polished
mirror,” we think a nicely polished
kitchen stove certainly is an adorn-
ment to the kitchen, but remember
brother that this takes much of a
woman’s time and strength, still
if you insist upon its being done
she will probably do it, for she has
doubtless learned ere this that
man’s word is law, even in the
small matter of cleaning a stove.
After about half an hour’s labor
has been put upon it by the
already tired kitchen woman, please
see to it that you do not defile it
with tobacco juice, ashes from
your pipe, harness grease and that
kettle of swill that must be warmed
for your favorite porker.

“Floor spotless white.” Yes to
be sure; what woman is there that
"does not pride herself upon her
clean kitchen floor, even if the
boards are rough and warped?
We have seen kitchen floors
scrubbed as clean as hands could
make them, and then there was a
pair of boots that would walk right

over it with the mud and dirt
from the field or filth from the
barnyard dropping at every step.

“It only requires a few moments
each morning to pick up and put
in order many things that give a
a disorderly appearance.”
but somehow the things will not
stay in order. Boots have a
faculty of standing just where
they were pulled off. Mittens will
lie around the stove, hats, caps,
coats and frocks have a penchant
for the lounge, slippers find the
corners, newspapers, books and
magazines remain where they were
thrown, and generally only a
woman’s hands can put these things
in their proper places.

“The meals are of much impor-
tance.” The brother evidently
thinks all the Lord made a woman
for is to scrub, dig and clean, pick
up after him and cook just such
food as he likes. None other is fit
to eat. He evidently cares more
for his stomach than he cares for
his wife, and would care less for
the odium and disgrace of a
divorce case than to miss his
favorite dishes.

Brother Wayback’s suspicions as
to the need of kitchen work being
made any lighter and easier; sus-
picions as to the present tendency
of women wishing for any mental
culture in the way of clubs, socie-
ties and granges reminds us of an
Irishman who in haste to flee from
a burning building put on some of
his garments hind side before and
then jumped forhis life. A friend
above being suspicious as to the
results of the jump called out,
“Pat are ye did?” “No Dennis, not
did, but I guess I am fatally
twisted.” And it is hardly worth
the effort to untwist him.

A MAN IN THE KITCHEN.

Until the VISITOR of May 15
came I had no idea there was a
man in our great and glorious coun-
try Who would unblushingly and
publicly advocate such opinions as
“ A Brother” gives us under the
heading of “A Man’s Ideas.”

He should be devoutly thankful
to a kind Providence that gave him
enough grace r~,~r modesty to pre-
vent his signing his name to his
not-ions. I am a peaceable man on
principle, and for other reasons,
but an exhibition of such supreme
selfishness would tempt me to use
personal violence even to my own
brother.

I wonder if “ A Brother” ever
brings in mud on his boots from
the field to track across the spot-
less white floor that he considers
so necessary, and does he provide
the needful articles for keeping the
floor clean ?. The curtains? Yes,
they may be kept snowy white by
frequent applications of soft soap,
water, zinc and cuticle. The broth-

er’s wife, if he have one (Heaveni

pity her), we suppose is expected

to make the soap, and draw thci

water from the cisteirn with that
primitive pump, a pail with a brick
tied on as a sinker~that’s the way
our grandmothers did you know.

Then the stove, does he providel

plenty of polish, and brushes to
apply it, or must his wife do as
his grandmother did, put it on with
a rag and shoe brush?

Does “A Brother” ever throw
things down in the handiest place,
that he ought to take care of? Or
does he expect his better half to
follow him about and “ keep things
in order?”

Do we live to eat, or eat to live!
If the poor wife must broil for
hours over the hot stove-on a scorch-
ing summer day in order that she
may “ present favorite dishes
oftener” to please her fastidious
lord,
drudge instead of a companion.
Such a state destroys all the sacred-
ness and beauty of the marriage
relation, and it is not to be wonder-
ed at if there is a. “ present tend-
ency of women to drift into other
lines of work.” If matrimony
means drudgery, then it is a pity
that all our girls do not decline to
become the slave of man, and fit
themselves for self-support. ‘

Why shouldi'1’t any woman w_it_h
one God-given spark of the spirit
of progress, wish to belong to so-
cieties and clubs to vary the mon-
otony of the daily sameness of the
kitchen grind?

I cannot find words strong
enough to express myself when he
“ deplores the popular cry for more
conveniences in housework.” One

True, 1

then the wife becomes a

thing is certain, I should like to
see the man given a sickle, or grain
cradle and set to reap his fields
with a taskmaster as merciless as
those of Egypt, that we read of in
Holy Writ, set over him.
‘ The man who advocates soft
lsoap, a washboard, dash churn
land the like for his wife, while he
lrides a self-binder, a steel mower,
is hay rake, a riding plow or culti-
;vator, ought to be dragged out of

his seat and set to work with the
tools his grandfather used.

, Oh consistency, thou art indeed
‘ a jewel, but how rare!

l The man who advocates such
lungallant and barbarous ideas
should, in my opinion, be secured
iby some dime museum as a rare
fcuriosity, a relic of bygone days,
‘when the man with his clumsy
= tools toiled in the field and his wife
iwith as few conveniences worked
in the house. Now when the man
lhas the many improved tools and
lmachines to lighten his labor on
fthe farm it is the acme of selfish-
jness for him to expect his wife to
ltoil on contented in the " good old
 way.”
3 The man who holds ideas of the
l sort “ A Brother” puts forth should
be condemned to dwell in single
blessedness all his days, and given
a chance to put into daily practice
the precepts he lays down for the
guidance of womankind.

Sisters of the Grange, will you
own relationship with such “ A
Brother?” Oust him from the
order! Cast him off as an alien
and a stranger, and let not such a
blot disfigure the organization!

Spirit of progress where art
thou? Is the man a product of the
nineteenth or seventeenth century ?
It is my idea that one who holds
such opinions has outlived his use-
fulness and should be relegated to
some out-of-the-way corner of the
earth and left to enjoy his thoughts
; in solitude.

V VVe do not thresh our grain with
a flail because our ancestors did.
They had more muscle than the
degenerate men of today, and they

 

the wheat from the chaff than util-
izing the winds of heaven when
they chanced to blow, but that’s no
reason why we should discard our
steam threshers. If the farmer
does not cling to the use of the
tools of his grandfather, I cannot
see why his wife should be com-
pelled to do things in the good old
way.

Give the wife the best that
money can procure, not only in
the kitchen but in all the rooms of
the house, if you can afford it, if
not, then give her the best you can,
and be as thoughtful for her com-
fort as for your own.

Every woman who has to cook
‘should be provided with an oil
stove in summer, it will lighten
‘jlier labors in many ways. Let the
1 man who thinks it an extrava-
i gant luxury bake and boil for hours
over a blazing hot stove on a
scorching August day. The oil’
‘stove will save many a headache,

OUR SCHOOLS AT THE FAIR.

Electricity, with its rapid devel-
opment and striking results, at-
tracts attention at the ‘Fall’. The
newspapers announce it on every
hand. Marching with it is the art
of education, with not so elastic,
but a firm tread.

Enter the south gallery of the
Manufactures and Liberal Arts
building and see what a long step
has been taken during the past two
years. Exhibits of all varieties are
made by many states and coun-
tries from“ Our Michigan” to New
South Wales. Liberal space has
been allowed this department, and
care has been taken by educators
and pupils to illustrate the daily
work from kindergarten through
college.

On tables are found books com-
posed of sample lessons in writing,
language, arithmetic, grammar,
history, etc., while about the walls
are specimens of drawing, paper
folding, clay molding, botanical
and geological lore, and models in
wood and iron.

The tendency to thought and use
is clairly traced. Stories in the
kindergarten are illustrated on
pages with articles made by tiny
fingers, seasons with their condi-
tions and opportunities grow into
realities under their touch.

As grades advance the pupil con-
tinues to use hands with head in
designing, cutting and forming.
He gathers the plants and we see
them on the paper with a language
lesson about their parts, location,
soil and uses; minerals in whole and
crushed forms accompany the
stories of them by little ones of
seven summers.

Outlines of training in wood, iron
and steel are represented from first
grade in public schools to the
skilled mechanic in college. Note
how many evening classes in man-
ual training have been organized
to benefit the working boys. Under
the guidance of the Y. M. C. A. in-
dustrial department the grave-dig-
ger finds he has talent for an archi-
tect, the hocl-carrier becomes ama-
chinist. Millinery, sewing and
cooking share in the needs of the
times;graduated courses are care-
fully arranged for these, and it is
surprising to see how deft the little
fingers soon become.

We did not intend to tell you
what is there, simply to warn you
not to omit a visit to this import-
ant section. The Grange is an
educational factor; as members of
our Order, let us find what is being
done, and if in the right direction,
help move it along.

A Massachusetts teacher of
thirty years experience says about
one-third of the schools in his
state are equipped for symmetrical
teaching. They pay more than any
other state for education and ought
to have the best.

Desiring to see the work in act-
ual process we went to schools of
this city: some have suitable ma-
terials, all are tending toward it,
but the expense causes it to pro-
gress slowly.

There is much, however, which our
country teachers have round about
them that docsn‘t cost acent, which
would add in pi'a<-tical value and
\Vasl1ington, Kansas and
Illinois have excellent exhibits of
their schools in the state buildings.
Trade schools, especially in sewing,
have made a siiggcst-ive section in
northeast part of \Vonian’s build-
iiig. The work done in penal in-
stitutions, crphan’s homes and in-
sane asylums is encouraging.

Michigan ranks well with her

lwork from Muskegon, Manistee,

Grand Rapids, Saginaw and state
institutions.

BORERS.

Bulletin Virginia Station.

There are a considerable number
of insects belonging to diiferent
orders to which the name “borer,”
with various modifications, is ap-
plied. The principal ones, how-
ever, which interest the fruit grow-
ers are two beetles, one known as
the flat-headed borer and the other
as the round-headed borer and the

CATTLE TICKS AND TEXAS FEVER.

Bulletin Arkansas Station.

It is shown that the progeny of
southern cattle ticks when they
invade northern or susceptible
cattle in summer, almost invari-
ably give rise to Texas fever in
these cattle; and unbiased study
of the literature on this subject
equally shows that no other means
by which this disease, under
natural conditions can be trans-
mitted, has been satisfactorily
demonstrated.

That the infection in the cases
here recorded was produced by a
process of inoculation of cattle by
ticks, and not indirectly by
microbic infection of the soil, is
indicated by the constancy in the
time at which fever appeared after
the cattle were sprinkled with
ticks, and by the fact that in no
cases was any fever noticed with-
out the presence of ticks on the
body.

_The disease exciting power of
ticks is not confined to the first
generation of those from the
South, but exists with equal viru-
lence in the second generation
bred in the North. Cases 21 and
22, in pen I1., show that fatal
secondary infection by northern
cattle can easily occur in this
latitude, and in fact, anywhere in
the United States. The time
which elapsed between the cases of
fever induced by successive gener-
ations from the same ticks was
fifty days (August 17th to October
9th), the only departure from the
natural conditions being that the
ticks were put on the cattle instead
of the latter being invaded from
the ground.

TOBACCO .IN LOUISIANA.

Bulletin Baton Rouge. La.. Station.

And now, in conclusion, shall
the station recommend our farmers
to plant tobacco? Yes, but with a
positive qualification. Go slowly.

Learn the business thoroughly
before largely embarking in it.
Anybody on any soil can grow
tobacco, but only the best types of
the best classes are profitable.
Grow only these and you will be
prosperous. Grow the ordinary
kinds and you will find the indus-
try more unprofitable than cotton at
eight cents per pound. Tobacco,
more than any other crop, requires
“ high farming”——heavy manuring
and excellent tillage. Soils largely
control the types to be grown-
while curing determines the grades
of the type. Strive to select the
right seed adaptable to your soil A —
fertilize properly and liberally-
cultivate well, and cure in the
most careful manner by the latest
approved methods and you will be
assured of handsome profits for
your crop. North, western and
extreme eastern parts of the state
have been assured by the experi-
ments at Calhoun of their ability
to grow superb grades of the best
yellow wrapper type, and careful
obedience to the instructions given
in this bulletin, will enable every
farmer in these sections to become
a successful tobacco planter.

 

TH E GOLDSMITH BEETLE.

Bulletin Ohio Statipn.

This beetle is described as being
nearly an inch in length, bright
yellow above, with a golden metallic
luster on the head and thorax, while
the under side of the body is cop-
per colored, and densely covered
with white hairs.

"Dr. Harris says that it is very
common, remarking that it begins
to appear in Massachusetts about
the middle of May, and continues
generally until the 20th of June.
“In the morning and evening twi-
light they come forth from their
retreats, and fly about with a hum-
ming rustling sound among the
branches of the trees, the ten-
der leaves of which they devour.
Pear trees are particularly subject
to their attacks, but the elm, hick-
ory, poplar, oak, and probably also
other kinds of trees, are frequented
and injured by them.” Dr. Lock-
wood has found it on the white
poplar of Europe, the sweet gum,
and has seen it eating the Lawton
blackberry. He adds that the lar-
vae of these insects are not known;
probably they live in the ground
upon the roots of plants.

It has remained for Rev. Dr.
Lockwood to discover that the grub
or larva of this pretty beetle in

d New Jersey devastates strawberry

beds, the larva feeding upon the

roots in the same manner as the May

beetle. He says that in the month
of May in the ordinary culture of
his garden the spade has turned up
this beetle generally in company
with the May beetle. He found
that some of the larvae *as in the
case of the May beetle, assume the
adult beetle state in October and
remain under ground for seven
months before appearing in the
spring.

FORAGE CROPS IN WYOMING.

Bulletin Wyoming Station.

At all the experiment Farms for-
age crops were grown, both for
pasture and for hay. The follow-
ing crops are suggested as being
suitable for most portions of the
State:

Those best suited for hay are
Timothy, Alfalfa and Red-Top.
The native grasses do the best, and
when possible to grow them are
the most profitable. Blue Stem,
Grama Grass and Blue Joint are
the most prolific and nutritious.
At the Wheatland Farm the Sn-
perintendent cut from one acre of
Alfalfa three crops of hay, which.
in the aggregate, amounted to
seven and eight-tenths, or nearly
eight tons per acre in one season.
These were cut July 6th, August
3rd and September 26th. ‘

For pasture the native grasses
are the best, although Red-Top,
Red Clover and Italian or English
Rye grass are to be recommended.

The English Rye grass is a
rapid grower, nutritious and
hardy.

English Rape is an excellent
forage crop, the large juicy leaves
furnishing a large amount of
nutriinent.

THE PEAR.

Bulletin Massachusetts Station.

The most destructive diseases
attacking the pear are the leaf-
blight and the cracking of the
fruit, which are caused by the same
parasitic fungous growth. It
appears at any time from July 1st
to Sept. 1st, when the weather is
very hot and moist, and if very
abundant, causes the leaves to fall,
or, if it attacks the fruit, results in
the cracking so common to the
Flemish Beauty and :iOII1i;' otliear
varieties. 

Both of these difficulties may be
overcome by the use of the copper
solutions used as for the apple,
except that no Paris green need
be used at the first spraying with
the Bordeaux mixture.

The treatment to be recom-
mended for 1893 will be the same
as for the apple with the above
exception.

 

NEW TYPES OF FRUl'l‘.
Bulletin Cornell Station.

New types of fruit are nearly
always misjudged. They are com-
pared with the most similar type
of well-known fruit, even though
the two may be very unlike. It
should be remembered that wholly
new types of fruits are not to be
measured by existing standards.

They are not introduced, as
a rule, for the purpose of sup-
planting other fruits but with the
intent that they shall add variety
to our fruit-lists, and occupy places
which are now vacant. If they fill
an unsupplied demand or if they
create a new demand, then they
may be counted successful. It is
often said of the Crandall current,
for instance, that it can never sup-
plant the common Currants and is
therefore worthless. It is true
that it cannot compete with our
present currants, but it may fill a
place in the market or in the home
demand which no other fruit fills;
if so, it is worthy, and we shall
grow it at the same time that we
increase the plaiitatioiis of red and
white currants.

It must also be said that new
types of fruits and vegetables usu-
ally suffer from iiijudicious praise.
Their merits are so much exagger-
ated that great disappointment
results when the varieties come to
be known, even though they really
possess commendable features.
Catalogue descriptions are so often
overdrawn and colored beyond the
point of belief, that they create a
presumption against the novelty in
question in the minds of intelligent
persons. Novelties are often short-
lived because of this disappoint-
ment which follows excessive
praise; while if the same varieties
had been introduced quietly and
with candid descriptions, they
might persist and eventually be-

ture.

creasing the expenses for the army, Var-
ious compromises were proposed, but the
emperor would have none of them. The
body was therefore dissolved and a new
election ordered. At the present writing
the government seems to be in the minor-
ity slightly. The emperor has power to
continue the dissolving process until a body
is selected in harmony with his wishes.

SUNDAY OPENING.

\Ve have elsewhere expressed our views
as to the effect of Sunday opening from the
educational and religious side. Some of
the facts upon which we based a portion of
our views are culled here, for the benefit of
our readers. They are the reports of cor-
respondents of the dailies regarding the last
two Sundays.

The eloquent line of sermons which have
been preached favoring Sunday opening in
order to remove people from the tempta-
tions of down—town Chicago were good in
theory, but fail disinally in practice. If
one of the female waiter saloons or dancing
theaters of the VVhite City should open in
the Black City next Sunday, Mayor Har-
rison would have the whole crowd in jail
within twenty-four hours. The workman
and his family do not go to the fair on
Sunday. In walking up the Midway last
Sunday with a friend we agreed to count
all the workmen we met. \Ve passed 5,000
persons and agreed that not ten of them
were workmen. The fair proper, with the
grand exhibit halls, was empty, while the
fair improper in i\Iidway was thronged. It
was a race track, beer drinking crowd.
Clerks, men of leisure and girls who attend
picnic dances more often than Sunday
schools, out for a time, made it up.

 

The radical Sunday openers must have
been grievously disappointed at the small
number of people who visited the \Vorld‘s
Fair today. The total admissions free and
paid, were scarcely 40,000 and the VVhite
City_ had quite a deserted appearance. The
fine arts building was about the only place
in all the great exposition where there was
anything like a crowd.

CHINA AND UNCLE SAM.

It is reportedjthat China has forbidden
the importation of American kerosene.
That is said to mean about $40,000,000 a
year of trade lost. It is also reported that
the Chinese minister declares that there
must be a new treaty between the coun-
tries. The President and the Senate could
in this manner abrogate the Geary law if
they chose.

MICHIGAN CROP REPORT.

Northern Section.-The pastr week has
been generally favorable for the growth
of crops and vegetation, but rain is need-
ed for pastures, potatoes and grasses.
Fruit trees are in good condition. Wheat,
oats and corn would be improved by
Warm showers. Potato bugs are at work
in some localities, but no great damage
done yet.

Central Sect'L'on.—Most crops have
made good progress in this tier of coun-
ties during the week. Grasses and past-
ures are in fine shape; oats on rolling
land promise a full crop, but on low land
are reported scalded in a few localities.

Barley, peas and corn are backward in.

St. Clair county. Strawberries, cherries,
plums and pears are doing well. Hay-
ing has begun on clover meadows in some
counties. In the eastern portion of this
section summer fallows and root crops
need rain. In the western portion the
weather has been very favorable for corn
and potatoes. Wheat is reported as being
“smutty” in Barry county.

Southern Secti'on.—The effect of the
weather on the crops during the past
week has been beneficial. Potatoes are
in bloom, strawberries promise a bounti-
ful crop, wheat and grass have made a
rapid advance, and mowers are cutting
timothy and clover in some counties.
Early corn has made good progress,
wheat looks better but is thin. In some
localities strawberries have been dam-
aged by hail. Potato bugs have injured
the crop in Branch county, and grape
worms are cutting the leaves on grape
vines. Oats will be a short crop in some
counties. In St. Joseph county the wee-
vil is doing injury to beans. Showers
are needed in the eastern portion of this
section.

Summary.-—On the whole the weather
for the week ending June 24, was favor-
able for crops. VVhile in some counties
damage by insects and adverse weather
conditions has occurred. The crop pros-
pects in the state at large are very good.
Small berries and fruits are still better
than an average crop, and some grains
that were behind have picked up and
promise better.

 

THE MAGAZINES.

With the third part of “Omega,” the
work of the French astronomer Flam-
marion, which appears in the Cosmopol-
itan for July, the reader is able to grasp
something of the great purpose of the
author. “ Omega” is declared by those
who have read the entire work to be one
of the most remarkable writings of the
century. \Vhile pretending to be a novel,
it is a work having 8 deeply philosophi-
cal purpose, as is more fully developed
in later chapters. It is something that
no fairly intelligent person can afford not
to read, and is surely destined to become
a classic. '

Rabbi Schindler contributes a thoughtful
paper in the luly Arrmz on “ Innocence at
the Price of Ignorance,” and Emil Blum,
Ph, D., contributes a paper of great power
on “ Realism in German Literature.” The
fiction is very strong and quite out of the
ordinary in character. Among the signed
book reviews appear the names of Hon.
Carrol D. VVright, Mrs. Annie Field, Hon.
Robert S. Howard, \V. D. McCrackan, Dr.
Gustave VVilksell and Hattie Flower, The
/Irrmz is able, bright and wide-awake. Its
sympathies are always with the people, and
one reading it feels that there is something
more behind the magazine than a calcu-
lating business automaton.

 

The complete novel in the July number
of /,i/iflnra/1'5 is “ The Troublesome Lady,”
by Patience Stapleton, who is already well
known to our readers. It is a lively and
interesting tale of ranch life in the west,
and is fully illustrated.

The fifth in the series of 1.1:/i/viizai//‘s No-
table stories, also illustrated, is “ The Re-
prieve of Capitalist Clyve,” by Owen \Vis-
ter. Other illustrated articles are “ On the
\\'a_v,” b_v Julian Hawthorne, which deals
with Washington as a starting point whence
to visit the Exposition, and “ Chicago
.\rcliitectLire,” by Barr Ferree.

\\'lI.I'l‘ SHALL wn DRINK! T

 

\\'hen the rays of old 801 are boiling
do\vn at a ninety degree rate, the air like
the breath of a furnace, and everything hot,
dry and dusty, the natural desire of the 
avefage human is to drink. But, what to i
drink.‘ there‘s the question. ‘

The serious effect of an over indulgence 
in ice water is well known. The thousand 1
and one cheap gassy beverages are known {
to be more or less injurious to the health, 1,
while the mineral waters of known purity
and healthfulness are a luxury beyond the '
reach of but few. \Vhat shall we drink?

A beverage to meet the requirements,
must, first of all, be absolutely pure
and non-alcoholic. It should possess a
medicinal element to counteract the effects
of the heat and keep the blood pure and :
the stomach healthful. In order to be
palatable and refreshing, it should be spark-
ling and effervescent. Last but not least,
it must be economical and within the reach
of all. A beverage that fully meets all of
the above requirements and one that is en-
titled to more than passing mention is Hires’
Rootbeer, manufactured by the Chas. E.
Hires C0,, of Philadelphia. This prepara-
tion has been analyzed by the highest au-
thorities and pronounced by them to be
free from any deleterious substance and
absolutely non-alcoholic; while all physi-
cians acknowledge its health giving quali-
ties. It has a delicious, appetizing flavor,
is full of snap, sparkle and effervescence,
and is without a peer as a refreshment.

A package, costing 25 cents at the gro-
cer’s or druggist’s, will make five gallons
of this great temperance drink. Truly it
answers the question——What shall we drink.
There are many substitutes and imitations
of Hires’ Rootbeer offered for sale, which
should be carefully avoided.

FAIR.

The passdnger entering Chicago from
the east by any of the MICHIGAN CENTRAL
trains will observe, after passing Kensing-
ton and Grand Crossing, that the tracks
are gradually elevated until, from a point
of view some twenty feet above the level,
he sees to the right an assemblage of domes,
towers and spires rising above the trees
between the railroad and Lake Michigan.
These are some of the colossal and mag-
nificent palaces of the \Vorld's Columbian
Exposition, far surpassing, not only in num-
ber and magnitude, but in beauty and ar-
tistic harmony of design, any assemblage of
buildings that the world has ever before
seen.

First to be noticed and directly in front
of the railway station where the MiciiioAN
CENTRAL trai s will enter the Exposition,
rise grandly t e four square pavilions of
the Adininist tion building, crowned by
its greatgome, 260 feet above the ground,——
“almost as loftv as that of St. Paul’s in
Lgndon,” says{Mrs. Van Rensselaer, “ and
almost as gracfiul in outline as that of the
Florentine Cathedral.” In front of it stands
the magnificent bronze fountain by i\Iac-
Monnies, facing the great basin in the cen-
ter of the great court, upon which front the
Agricultural building and Machinery Hall
on the south, and the palaces of Mines and
Mining, Electricity, and of Mantifactures
and the Liberal Arts on the north. The
domes and towers of these buildings may
be seen in the distance, and particularly
the grert arched roof of the last named
building, the largest in the world. It cov-
ers an area of more than thirty acres—three
times that of the largest building of the
great Paris Exposition of 1889.

As the train approaches more closely to
the grounds, the Transportation building is
clearly seen to the left of the Administra-
tion building. It covers, with its annexes,
fourteen and a half acres of ground, and its
massive arched doorway, elaborately decor’-
ated and known as the “ Golden Portal," is
one of the most striking external features
of the Exposition.

Next to the left is the Ilorticultural
Building, a thousand feet in length, and
with a central pavilion, under the glass
dome of which is grouped the finest known
collection of bamboos, tree-ferns and palms.

Northward, and still nearer to the
train, is the \Voinan’s building, a chaste and
noble structure, first of all to be completed,
and the architect, artists and decorators of
which were all women. It will be filled
wtth the fruits of the genius, skill and labor
of the women of all nations.

Crossing the Midway Plaisance, which
connects Jackson Park on the east with
VVashington Park on the west, and in which
are located a section of Paris, a street
of Cairo, Irish, German, Austrian and
Turkish villages, a Dutch East Indian set-
tlement, ice, sliding and spiral electric rail-
ways, and numerous other interesting feat-
ures, of some of which the traveler may
get a glimpse as he dashes by. On the
right, grouped at the north end of jackson
Park, are the various State and Foreign
buildings of diV’qr_sified architecture and
representing an expenditure of millions of
dollars.

No passing glimpse of the \Vorld’s Fair,
however, nor the most detailed and glow-
ing description that can be penned, can give
any idea of its surpassing size and extent,
the splendid harmony of its design, or of
its rich artistic sculpture and decorative
features. Nothing but frequent visits and
careful observation can do it. But while
every passing traveler will surely resolve
upon this, he will also surely be thankful
that he is journeying upon the MICHIGAN
CENTRAL, the only Eastern line that gives
him such a passing view, or that takes him
directly by and in full view of Niagara
Falls, the great natural wonder of the world.

GEN. AILVISTRONG AND HIS HRE.-IT
WORK.

The death of General S. C. Armstrong
was not unexpected. Since his paralytic
stroke of the year before last it had been
well understood that there remained to
him only 8. few brief and painful days of
life. It had fallen to his lot to occupy
the most truly significant and epoch-
making educational position in this coun-
try. His experimental developments at
the Hampton (Virginia) Institute have
taught the country how to educate the
negro race up to material self—support
and reliant character, and also to trans-
form the Indians from savagery to civi-
lization. More than that, General Arm-
strong’s successful evolution of an agri-
cultural and industrial institute which
haafurnished the type upon which vari-
ous others have been founded for Indians
and negroes, has also shown the country
how to proceed in order to make our
education of white children, especially
those of foreign parentage, effective and
useful. The truest tribute of gratitude
that can be paid to the memory of this
great man will be the completion of a
sufficient endowment fund for the main-
tenance of the Hampton Institute. We
have not many great men. S. 0. Arm-
strong was one of the noblest that the
Western world has yet produced—~From

view of Reviews.
