BY l\'Ol’.\VOOD BOW]-IIIS.

You wrote me that you wished facts. and
not a boom. Not being a boom man, I am
obliged to write facts, and if your readers
require, will furnish proofs.

To begin with, our country is a new coun-
try. Although I have lived here fifteen
years, and there are others in the vicinity
who have been here a longer time. Several
years ago my father visited me from
southern Wiisconsin, and said he knew that
the soil here is fertile. for such thrifty
maple, beach, basswood, and ironwood
could not grow on poor land. But we
who have lived here these many years have
learned that hard work is required to clear
off these broad acres, and put them
into shape for farming purposes. But
when that work is once done the sweat of
the whole body is abundantly rewarded by
the fruitful harvests that the land will pro-
duce.

The county is well wate1'ed by numerous
spring brooks of excellent water, and we
have learned that clover, timothy, and
many kinds of grasses do. exceedingly
well, some pieces of low ground producing
as high as four tons per acre. Such yields
are not common. Still a ton and a half
and two tons of hay to the acre are quite
frequently realized. Cattle thrive well.
and I think that we can raise as man_v cat-
tle to the acre here as can be raised on the
same number of acres anywhere. \\'hile
we may have a little more work to do to
care for our stock in winter than in a
warmer climate, we are so close to the
lumber and mining regions that we have a
much better market and therefore we get
pay for our labor at a good price. I know
of a number of instances where fifty bush-
els of wheat have been raised from two and
a half bushels of seed. Our millcrs here
say that the quality of wheat raised here is
equal to the very best grades of Minnesota
wheat for flour.

Corn has been raised of late years to
some extent. The red glaze and one or
two other kinds of flint corndo well, yield-
ing as high as one hundred bushels per
acre, and the corn crop has not been afail-
11re here yet. Oats, peas, and rye are also
staple crops here, and yield excellently.
Cattle, sheep, hogs, and horses are all
profitably raised here. At the present
time cattle are the most profitable stock on
the farms. Cheese making has not been
engaged in to any great extent, but butter
is reeeiving attention and a number of
creameries have been doing a good busi-
ness.

Good dairy butter readily sells at twenty-
five cents per pound in the summer and at a
higher price in the winter months. Pota-
toes and all kinds of root crops do exceed-
ingly well. In fact, the potato crop has
never been known to be a failure, and
with proper care :2.7U bushels is not con-
sidered a large yield’ per acre.

Land can be had very cheap because
there is so much that is untilled, and
so many people that have been raised to
handle timber, that desire to sell out and
move on to where the work exists that they
have been used to doing. The people who
are here to stay are enterprising and
thrifty, the township of Stephenson alone
supporting twelve schools and fifteen
teachers. Other localities are doing as
well: and our schools have already pro-
duced many fine and competent teachers,
and young, but competent business men.
People who have engaged in fruit raising
find that many kinds of apples do well,
while small fruits grow in abundance. As
for religion, there are all denominations,

 and many and well supported churches.

Iron County.
BY A. B. .\IA(‘,KI.\'NO.\'.

In reply to your recent request. will

Iron county's agricultural resources and
possibilities: i

I came here in 1881 >, under a tit) pound
pack, before a tree was cut down within a
radius of 30 miles of Iron River and have
lived here ever since. I have been on everv
section of land in Iron county. The Wil-
derness I went through then with the aid
of a compass, is now traversed by good
roads and interspersed with improved
farms and prosperous farmers. The county
is settled chiefly by miners, who, when
the Iron county mines shut down under
the pressure of hard times, settled down
to farming. This leaves us with a class of
farmers, though industrious and energetic,
not up in the science of agriculture, and
yet all of them make a good living and are
to all intents and purposes independent.
It is a well known fact that whilst other
mining districts were forced to seek relief
in charity soup houses, Iron county was
self—sustaining because of the productive-
ness of its soil. There are N<N5,460 acres in
the county, of which about 1oo,ooo acres
are settled upon.

The soil is a clay loam, and from 2 to
2% feet in depth, covered with a thick
growth of maple, birch, elm, hemlock,
baswood, etc., all of which are valuable
for lumber, and are being manufactured at
Iron River.

Spring and winter wheat, oats, barley,
peas. rye, flax, corn, hops, in fact every-
thing that can be raised in \Visconsin or
southern Michigan, unless it be pea A_.-:
and grapes, are grown here with maikcd
success. There is no better soil under the
sun for grass, 1'oots, and vegetables. Po-
tatoes yield about 200 bushels per acre——
stump land: wheat,'2o bushels; oats, -.13.
Beets, carrots, parsnips, cabbage, onions,
lettuce. tomatoes, in fact all manner of
garden stutl' is raised in great abundance.

‘W. H. \\'ebb, who owns and runs a
steam thresher on the west side of the
county, says the wheat invariably weighs
114 pounds to the bushel measure, and oats
40 pounds. He has threshed up to date,
of oats ::o,ooo bushels, wheat moo, barlc_v
30”. in the townships of Iron River and
Bates. One farmer has thre.shed 23,HINl
bushels of oats, 250 of wheat, and has
raised a proportionate amount of other
farm products. “'heat growing, so far, is
chiefly experimental. and it has proved a
grand success both for winter and spring
wheat. \\'hen a flour mill is put in here,
which is likely to be done next summer,
farmers will grow wheat more extensively.

Iron county has a good agricultural fu-
ture and it isbeing rapidly developed. The
products of the farms here will not supply
the home market when the mines are
working, except in potatoes, which at a
conservative estimate will exceed 2110,04 N)
bushels this year. There is no
market in the country when the mines are
working.

The Social Advantages of the Grange.

Farmers, from the very nature of their
occupation, are inclined to lead lives more
or less secluded. I)uring the busy seasons
of the year they have but little opportunity
to mingle with the bustling world about
them. \Veekly or semi-weekly drives to
town for mail and business purposes and
attendance at church, or perhaps some so-
ciety meeting, largely includes their asso-
ciation with their fellow-beings.

In most instances these conditions and
not the personal desires and tastes of the
farmers themselves constrain them to fore-
go to some extent the pleasures and bene-
fits of society, and to deprive their fami-
ly of the same, butthe results of such unnat-
ural seclusion are plainly manifest in their
lives and habits, and their families also.
In former years many farmers realized the
disadvantages of their environments so far
as their social relations were concerned,
but with the limited opportunities at hand
in this direction, they were unable to over-
come these hindrances, to some of the
rarest and best enjoyments of farm life.

But after the Grange was organized
with its social and educational features,

} this difliculty was removed and the means
i of social enjoyment and intellectual im-
. provement are now within easy reach of
 the farmer. and if he is not happier, and
give the following facts and figures of ’
‘ l i E of broader views of life and its manifold

does not grow wiser, and become possessed

duties and responsibilities, the fault is his
own. The Grange opens wide the door
and invites every farmer and his family to
enter, and enjoy all the advantages that
spring from the association of those who
are actuated by a common desire for social
culture and improvement. Any organiza-
tion or association needs the help of its
humblest members. The meeting and
comparison of ideas, friendly criticism,
and seeking for the reasons of things, all
help to strengthen the individual powers
of each.

The Grange, creates and maintains a
feeling of fraternal relation and common
pride in the profession of agriculture. that
cannot be brought about in any other wa_v,
and membership should be sought in the
organization for the personal as well as for
the general benefits which can be secured.
Every farmer owes it to himself and his
family, and to the pursuit in which he is
engaged, to identify himself with this great
farmers’ movement, which is so well adapt-
ed to better the condition, lighten the
burdens and increase the blessings of those
whose industry is the foundation of all true
national prosperity.

The social features of the Grange con-
stitute its crowning glory, and are among
its strongest claims for recognition and
popular favor among our rural population:
for without the opportunities which are
now presented for the cultivation of that

_ sociability which adds new charms to our

existence, the Order could not attain to
the full measure of its usefulnessand power.

It is universally conceded that farmers
need to become more intimately acquainted
with each other. and to enter into closer
and more friendly and fraternal relation-
ship. liy cultivating this most desirable
element in human nature. selfislmess: and
jealousy are made subordinate to higher
and nobler thoughts, which greatly en-
large the sphere of usefulness among the
membership, and thus places the Order in

,a most favorable light for recognition

among all classes in society. Those who
would presume to measure the work and
influence of the Grange by a money stand-
ard alone. utterly fail to have any adequate
conception of its principles, and are not in
sympathy with its grandand lofty mission,
nor in harmony with its noble Declaration
of Purposes which teach that its leading
objects are, "to develop a better and higher
manhood and womanhood among its mem-
bers.“ to elevate the farming population
in its scale of intelligence, to cultivate
more intimate social relations, to instill
into the minds of the young more correct
ideas of morality, to impart instruction
and develop esthetic tastes among the
membership, and to cement in one common
fraternal brotherhood and sisterhood all
that are engaged in agricultural pursuits.

One of the mostdistinguishing and enob-
ling features of the Grange, is that it ac-
cords to woman her true position, enlarges

’ the sphere of usefulness, and gives her an

opportunity for the exercises of those noble
qualities of mind and heart which reflect
her womanly nature, and give an added
charm and pleasure to every position and
condition in life which admits her presence.

In the Grange every position of honor
and trust is open to her ambition, and she
takes her place by the side of husband and
brother as an active participant of all that
transpires. As this is the first and only
fraternal order which grants to woman her
inalienable rights, and recognizes her
proper and legitimate sphere of duty, she
is peculiarly interested in the success of
the Grange, and we are glad that she fully
realizes the measure of the work the Order
is doing to relieve her from the restric-
tions of law and usage, which have been
handed down from past ages.

The Grange is doing more in its silent
way to secure woman her just rights, than
all the noisy conventions that have ever
been held, and the realization of her fond-
est hopes in this respect may be in the
near future.-—A//y/ta 1l[es.s'c/'.

Prepare for the State Grange.

All delegates to the coming State Grange,
except some who go as representatives of
county Granges, have been elected, and
doubtless are preparing to perform the im-
portant duties of the session satisfactorily
to the Patrons of their respective counties
and with credit to themselves. As the
Grange adds years to its existence, its lines
of work become more clearly defined and
greater responsibilities are attached to the
work of delegates. The Grange was wise-
ly planned wherein it brings together an-
nually in a legislative capacity the best
and most progressive of its members. It
is not only expected to plan and act wisely
for the well being and growth of the Or-
der in the state through its Subordinate
Granges, but other equally great responsi-
bilities arc resting upon it. The farmers‘ well
being and true prosperity like all other in-
terests largely depends upon equitable and
just legislation, and now that the Grange
is recognized as a fair representative of the
farmers as a class on public questions,
because of its superior facilities to discuss
matters and concentrate thought, wise con-
clusions arc demanded. It is said that
the farmer constitutes a great conservative
arbiter of all public questions, but he has
been in the habit of putting in his work
after the thingis done, and oppI‘cssi\'e influ-
ences have done their worst. Ilow much
wiser and more business like it would be
to be on hand at the beginning with well
defined opinions as to the end that matters
in general may come about more to his
liking. Herein comes one of the greatest
responsibilities of the Grange from the po-
sition it occupies. It must be a leader in
anticipating the legitimate needs of the
state and its best interests, and to discuss,
crystalize, and concentrate thought, and to
so present to the legislature our wishes,
that more nearly the right things may be
done. Thus when we say "Prepare for the
State Grange," it means nmch more than a
casual notice conveys. Prepare your reso-
lutions early and give them due consider-
ation. Let them be along practical lines
and do not neglect qllcstions regarding
which the Grange has taken a stand. for it
is by "repeated blows" that we. expect to
succeed.

Weeds.

_ The following ‘letters have been received
"1 1:eI’l.Y ‘[0 <1uestion.s, sent out to a number
of farmers, regarding the prevalence, etc.,
Of weeds. These ai'e not all the replies we
have——others will follow later.

_ 1 ours asking about weeds canie to hand
in due season. Fariners as a rule sav very
little about weeds, unless the_v becoiiie cri-
ceedinglytroublesome. \\'llIt,‘lli they do not
on our soil in this towiisliip. except in wet
seasons, which w'e Iiavc not had in several
year's. The soil here is not as favorable for
either their development or rapidity of
flI'0\\'tl1 as clay, or timber lands. \Vhile
we have some prairie. also some beech and
inaple, coiiimonly called tiiiibcred lands.
in this county. yet the most of our soil is
classed as sandy loaiii—oak openings——:iiid
ranges through all grades of this kind of
soil. On such soil it is a very easy matter
to keep weeds in clieck. especially in as
dry_ a. season as this has been. ()n the
prairie pigeon grass I121-3 sprung up quite
thickly in coi'ntields. after fariiiers had quit
working the same, and after the rains
came. “'0 think from observation and
in talking with different men on this sub-
ject who live on prairie land. that what is
known as pigeon grass is as troublesoiiic as
anything they have to contend with, and
yet this is not a weed.

Most farmers have a rotation s_vstciii. or
try to have: but this requires a certain
amount of land on each farm to be "seedetl
down” to clover each year. and good catch-
es of clever have been few and far between
for several years now. and this season the
worst of all. IIiiii<li'etls of dollars in this
township expended for clover seed. and
sown on wheat in I“ebruary and Mai'cli.
and on oats and barley lateroii, were prac-
tically thrown away; for while it came up
and grew for a time. the long contiiiued
drouth swept it away. and I do not know
of a single tield that was seeded to clover
last spring that has any aiiiount growing
now or since August —-all swept away by
the drouth.

As regards enforceiiieiit of the law in re-
gard to the cuttiiigof weeds iiitlieliigliwav:
All through this portion of our county we
see no dock, (,‘anada thistles or other nox-
ious weeds going to seed in our highways.

As to \vliat weeds are the most trouble-
some and occasion the most loss. Tliese
vary on account of ditl'crent conditions and
different soils. I am compelled to state
that there is a class that farni on a portion
-of our tiiiibered lands that let the Canada
thistle Iiave fnll sway; but while it tlirives
better in this kind of soil. the occupants
won‘t admit that it shortens their crops, or
as the_v say “I can't see that they do. "

On our oak openings. sorrel is the worst
weeds \ve have to tight. Still. it is easily kept
within bounds by a good husbandniaii.
There is no pai'ticiilar weed that has been
at all troublesoiiie this season. on our
sandy loam, for as before stated. the
drouth has been too iinicli for even the
weeds. \\'e have what is commonly known
as “horse-tail" that grows more or less in
wheat and eat stubble after these crops are
harvested. How much these take out of
the soil we are unable to state. As all
such take sonie goodness out of the soil. no
one will question. but this particular weed
seems to be indigenous to our oak open-
ing lands and it is a question of jiist how
to dispose of it. ’

As to any method among fariiiers of ob-
taining grass and clover seed free from
weed seeds, there is none: everyone seems
to rely on his own judgnient in the matter.

Portage. Kaluniazue County

As to the feeling amongst the fariiiers in
this locality in regard to the losses occa-
sioned by weeds. I should say from the
way that weeds are being destroyed by al-
most all farmers in this locality that they.
like myself, think weeds are a great enemy
to the farmer. No doubt serious losses do
occur from weeds, after all said and done
towards destroving them. So far as sys-
tem is concerned, it would apply to G1-ec-
ley's saying about pruning trees, “prune
while the knife is sharp.” So apparently
with the weeds, cut at any and all times.
for weeds are to be found every day from
May to December. A very good system.
I should say.

As to laws relating to the cutting of
of Weeds in highways, I would say that
there was no need of enforcenient. High-
ways are clean.

The prickly lettuce has been the most
troublesome weed this season. also last
season. There is one annoying feature
about this weed, it seems to grow along
the rivers where it is not noticed so much,
not even by men whose farms run up to
the streams. I e.\'terniinate them along
the river just the same as on my farm or
along the roadside. I notice some do not
pay any attention to them along streams.
The weed that has been especially
bad this season is a weed called by some as
buttonweed, and by others mallet. I find
it the most troublesome weed to extermi-

nate that ever struck my farm. It does
not spread fast.

As to getting seeds which are free from
weed seeds. some talk of having seedsinen
under bonds and have theni guarantee their
seeds pure and free from weeds, and some
of having an inspector of seeds supported
by the state. I for one have bought clover-
.-eed which had bad wecd seed in it. One
is a wild sti'awbcri'y. so called: also C-.inada
thistle. I),-\\'lI) IIANI).\lIA\\.'.

In reply to thequcstion regardiiig weeds,
i I would say tirst. as regards the losses oc-
I casioned by weeds. they are a great daiii—
agc to most of out‘ fariiiers in the way they
are gciir-rally iiianagcd. I know of a num-
ber of fariiiers in this locality that are
overrun with weeds just because their own-
crs arc careless about exteriiiiiiating them.
If the f;iriiiei's iii t'\'t'I'_\' iieigliborliood
would join together and iiiakc it a point to
keep all weeds from Q‘<)Il1‘_:‘ to seed for two
or three _vc:irs. we would almost extermi-
natc them: but ifonc fariiicr iicglccts to
keep them dozvii lie will seed his own farm
and his nciglibors fora mile ortwo around
him. for there are a great many weed seeds
that the wind will czirry a great \v:ij.'s. I’or
instance. the wild lettuce or p1'ickl_v let-
tuce as it is called. is very bad with us
here. It will blow a great ways because
the seed is so light. and it is hard to exter-
minate. for when it is cut’ oil‘ close to the
ground it will send up a dozen shoots that
will go to seed. The most troublcsoiiie
weeds that we have had to contend with
this season have been the prickly lettuce.
purslanc. :iiid common pigwccd. I con-
sider purslanc as bad to get rid of as any
weed we have, for it is hard to kill after it
is lioed out, if the ground is a litt lc wet or
damp.

The cutting of weeds in higliways is
looked after pretty well in this locality.

I have not heard any talkofgettingseeds
f1'ec from weed seeds, but I think the only
way to accomplisli that is for farmers to
join together and help one anotliei' in keep-
ing them down. which means a great deal
of work. but which will pa_v in the end.
“Io are getting (,‘aiiada thistles pretty
plenty around licre and would like to know
tlirougli the VI.\’l’l‘<il{ of some way to get
rid of them. I have tried to keep them
down by cutting them as soon as they ap-
pear through the groiuid. but it seemed to
make them grow all the faster.

Is It True?

The Gl{A.\'UIC Visrron for 5eptc.iiiber 15?
contained an article clipped from the I)e-
troit »/mo'm// in which it was claimed that
the day for small farms had passed. The
small fariiier, the writer claimed, was
being crushed out by forces beyond his
control, and the time had come for tenant

farming. and large capital with large
fariiis. The agricultural laborer has no

chance of becoiiiing an indepent lent farnier,
unless he be endowed by nature with some
rare qualities that make him a genius.

\\'ith the casual reader these statenients
might pass undisputed. ll/llit a little retlec-
tioii will disclose two facts: first, things
are not always what they seeni at first
sight: second. there are a few things which
a city journalist does not know, strange
as it may seem and hard as it may be to
convince him of it. ()iie of these subjects
is farniing, though according to his own
estimation, he understands the subject
from A to Z.

There is a tendency in agriculture, as in
all branches of industry, toward a concen-
tration of capital, but it does not follow
that the small farmer is entirely crowded
out, or that he is of so little importance as
the -/lit!/‘/(«M would have it inferred. Spe-
cialized labor is the distinguishing feature
of the age, but there is still roeni for indi-
vidual energy. Civilization is constantly
creating new wants, and while these are
for the most part supplied by many men
working together under one head, there is
still much which can be done best by one
man working alone. In agriculture this is
at present true to a greater extent than in
the majority of industries.

In nearly every coininunity men can be
i found who are doing well on a few acres,
merely by giving attention to the features
of the business which are neglected by the
large fariiiers. In one instance a few years
ago a man purchased ten acres of land of
average fertility and set it out to small
fruit. The neighbors laughed at his folly,
but so long as they purchased all the straw-
berries he could raise he did not mind. In
a few years the farm was doubled in size.
Now the man is in a fair way to grow
from a small to a large farmei' soon.
Another case is that of a young man who
gave up a professional career to begin
gardening on a place of twenty-live acres.
The first year was rather discouraging, as
he was several miles from a town, but he
soon had a market at home aniong the
larger fariiiers which paid him handsome-
ly. Another young man started a few
years ago with no capital except a liberal
education and a faculty for making the
most of things. Last year he sold from
his farm of less than fifty acres more than

551,000 worth of dairy and p-oultry prod-
ucts, pork and vegetables. These cases
may be multiplied many times by those
people who will take the trouble to look
around. If as the -/rm/vmi assei'ts. "Only

The Farmer‘s Risk.

An old man who had been both fariiier
and nierchaiit once said to us, "I have tried
botli. and I had rather take my chziiiccs for
success depeiidiiig on the dealings of l’rovi—
dencc than upon the dealings of men."
()uracquaiiitance with fariiiers would not
lead us to think they felt that way: too
many of them seem to think that they have
both I’rovidence and man to contend with:
that the cleiiients :irc agaiiist them.
and the hand of every man raised to strike
then: down.

N«)t\\'itlist:iiiiliiig this the principles set
forth by the old man above referred to is
undoubtedly true. Expressed tlitI'ci'eiitly.
he might have said: “I“ai'iiiiiig is the most
independent and reliable pursuit men eii—
gage in.

\\'lien agriculture in any coiimiuiiity
fails to give an adequate reward to those
engaged in it, all other pursuits. all other
business. .sutlcr. \\'hen crops fail over [any
large extent of country. persons engaged
in other occupations other than fariiiing
fail: proving conclusive.ly that these depend
upon farming for their success. If these
depend upon farming or agriculture for
their success, fariiiing is the most iiidepeii-
dent of them all.

That's the rosy way of putting it. The
events in certain portions of the west last
year, and those that occurred over a vast
portion of the country last month, show
that the farmer in several branches of ag-
i'ir--..L"tiii'e lias risks that the best of fore-
thought or iudgiiient cannot reiuove. The
“if” is there in full force to effect expected
success. In that farming that requires fall
seeding to have success, the conditions
must be of a certain kind if the farmer is
to start his ci'op in anything like fair shape.
Then follows the liazards of freezing, tliaw—
ing, and storm brouglit by winter. After
this the too wet or too dry spring. the
drouth of summer, the tight with insects,
or the wet of liarvcst time may be a factor
to destroy the result of hard labor.

\Vl'icre spring seeding is followed, the
risks of fall sewing and winter killing are
removed, but seed time may be poor, or a
belated frost may make untold havoc with
the grain that was gotten in in tine shape
because “it is such a forward spriiig."

The fruit grower and gardener risks his
berry or truck farm to the sweep of frost
or blighting wind or scorching sun. All
these risks, and many more, must be taken
by those who pursue agriculture as a
means of livelihood.

But are there no niitigating circuiiis:tan-
ces in all this array of dark possibilitiesf
Is there nothing forethought or judgiiient
can do to reduce the risk—lessen the haz-
ard? Is there no play for business sagaci-
ty, or executive ability—no wrestling of
success from defeat in an emergeiicy when
one of these “risks" becomes a condition,
not a theory!

The market gardener and berry grower
may greatly reduce, if not entirely over-
conie, the damage of a killing frost by
means of mulching or covering with hay
before the frost strikes. The use of sinudges
will prove a vast protection to the corn-
field. The beans, squashes, melons, and
other tender vines just peeping through
the soil may be lightly covered with soil,
and their safety secured for a few days.
The onward march of the cliiiicli bug may
be stayed by inoculation, kerosene emul-
sion, or furrows plowed about the fields.
Droutli niay be overcome by irrigation,
and with no reservoir than a deep well and
a good wind engine irrigation is anaccomp-
lished fact on more than one farm. Thus
in various ways, difi'erent risks to which
agriculture is exposed, and which cannot
be removed as an element to be considered
in the success or failure of farming, may
be reduced in their hazard to crops.

But all precautions coming to naught,
shall the farmer give up the tight for suc-
cess? Far from it. Get in an emergency
crop, if too late for replanting the one de-
stroyed by frost er drouth. Take in the
situation, and act promptly. No idle re-

pining will bring bread or meat, or hay
or grain for stock. Master the situation
and wrest success out of sceniing failure.

Lost hope. and all the man of a man is

goiie. Keep :1 brave heart. a clear head,
and an earnest h:iiid. and thus reduce the
i'i.sks of farniiiig to the lI1IIll1lllllI1.—/‘i//'//I.

A Nation of Tenant Farmers.

Once the glory of New Iinglaiid was that
every man owned his own farm. and from
his broad acres could dcfv the world. but
between lsso and I\!Nl inlthc six .\ew ling-
laiid states the owning fariiiers «liiiiiiiislied
24.117. and the teiiaiit f.~iriiicrs iiicrcascd
T.;'4.\’. The number of tenant fariiiers in
.\I:1s~:i('lilIst-Its \\';is in I\‘.Hl nc:1I‘l_\' doulile
what it was in l\\H_ and the percentage of
t'ariiicrs iii Vcrnioiit and t.‘omiccticut at
the time was over IT. and 3.3 per cent of
the fariiiers of lihodc Island were then
teiiaiit.-. not land owners. This cliaiige. if
confined to New Iinglaiid. would be start-
liiig. but in the south in l\‘.Nl there was iii-
crciise of l.':,‘.ll.‘. owning fai'iiici's and 27.3,-
Txfi ten.-int 1"ariiicrs. In Missouri. -\rkan—
s.-is. and Texas. there was a gain between
l\\H and two of Jf'.\‘~"2 owiiing fiirnicrs
and ll-l.T»lH tenant fai'iiici's. A large pro-
portion of these are persons who were for-
nicrly sl:ives, and now are tenants. In the
middle statesduring this iiitci'val. the owii-
crs have decreased '_'~l.I1IH. and the tenaiits
have increased ;’»l—.llT.3. In eight states of

ics the number of owning tariiicrs had in
I“-"I bL't'HIllL' l-35. 1'."-I, and the nuiiibcr of
tenant fariiici's had grown to .3‘.l‘,l,.'I:}T,
These tigurcs. which might be grcatlv ex-
tended. show‘ that all over the t‘li|int1'\'
the number of the far niers w he
own their hind is deci'casiiig. while the
nuiiibcr of those who are tciiants at will is
rapidly incrcasiiig. The land. tllsu. in
many parts of the country is advanciiig
in value. In .\clrl‘:lsl§:1 it has risen during
the last twenty years from »_\’»l an acre for
rough land to -5‘;‘.3 an acre with iiiiprove-
iiiciits. At the same time the protits of
the fai'iiicr have been <lcci'c:i.siiig. .\lost of
these tenant farmers pay a heavy rental for
the use of the land, and a large propoi'tioii
of those who own tlicii' fariiis are paying a
heavy rate of interest on their iiiortg:iges.
It is only a question of time when they
iiiust give up and become tenant fariiiers.

This brief statciiicnt of the general situ-
ation shows that allover the country the
land is more and more in the hands ofvlan(l-
lords, who rent it out to tenants on such
terms tliat-whenever a bad season coiiies,
or the crops cannot be sold at a high tigure,
it means disastci' to the fariiier. Ile can-
not pay his debts. and is at the iiiercv of
the owner of the land. More :iiid more,
these owners are non residents, living in
the east or a foreign country. For a long
time the average size of the farnis had been
decreasing, but in 15:91! the census showed
an advance over all the iiorlliern states.
The increase was most notable in farnis
from .31 to to 1,01 N) acres, which showed the
presence of the landlords and of hired
hands. The evidence obtained from every
quai'ter goes to sliow that the creatioii of
landlord and tenant classes is going on
cverywlicre at a rapid rate. In .\cw Eng-
land the clicapei' farms have been given up
to the Irish and the French—L'anadiaiis,,
who can make a living where a native»
Aniei'ican would starve; but it means the
subordination of intelligence and education
to toil, and the bringing forward of a class
of people who are illiterate, and in no
sense the successors of the sturdy yeoniaii-
i'y who founded Xew Eiigland and the far
west. Everything goes to show that the
same process is taking place in this coun-
try which has gradually become iixed in
Great Britain. The siiiail landholders are
slowly giving up their pi'opcrtics because
they are too deeply in debt to hold them,
and the iiicrease of the tenant class means.
a lower public spirit, inferior living, and a
falling short in whate.ver goes to make
strengtli of cl1ai'actci'. The facts are well
brought out in the last census, and one who
studies them carefully will be profoundly
iiiipressed that our farms are passing into
the hands of tenants and of farm laborers.

\\’hat this means it is not dillicult to dis-
cover. It is forcing the agriculturists of
the country gradually into a position of
dependence, placing them largely under
the control of wealthy landlords, who have
no interest in them except to collect their
rents, and causing them to struggle so hard
for a bare existence that they have no time
for anything else. The soil is more and
more cultivated by those who are deprived
of an opportunity to educate their cliildi'en;
and the scanty returns which the tenant-
farniers can obtain for their work is in-
sutlicient to enable them ever to rise above
their condition. The soil of the L'nited
States is passing iiite the hands of land-
lords who care netliing for the people ex-
cept to keep them in a dependent position,
and we are beginning to repeat the situa-
tion as it exists to-day in Great Britain.
The tenants are becoming a peasant class,

A Story of a Scottish Halloween.
CHAPTER 1.

She was a bonnie lassie and many an ad-
miring glance fell upon her as she stood on
the broomielaw that beautiful J une inorn-
ing, with the sunlight falling around her
and lighting up her golden hair.

Thelscene was one of hustle and activity.
Enormous vessels, countless in number, and
from nearly every nation under the sun,
were busy loading or unloading. The
great quay was crowded with pleasure
seekers going “down the water," and the
Clyde steaniers—the tinest fleet in the world
—were pulling out froi_n their docks
thronged with Glasgow citizens bound for
the many delightful resorts of which the
Clyde alone can boast.

The subject of my sketch stood apart
from the surging crowd and was looking
wistfully into the dark eyes of a young
sailor who had just sprung ashore to bid
her a last good bye.

The great ship in which he was about to
sail lay tugginv at her moorings. She
was the Royal 1 ail Steamer Britannia, of
Glasgow, bound for Sydney, and the usu-
al excitement at the troing out of such a yes-
sel prevails. Young éolin Campbell was one

said Tom. The ba}_-' of hemp seed is broii_<_’:'lit‘

to some lonely spot to sow it.

A little bit of the Scotch superstition

in her iiiilid :iii<l1'csol\'ed to try it to see
what would become of it.

She has no fear as she goes into the
garden and rakes the }_»'i'oiiinl. The moon
is sliiiiiiig briglitly on the riis'liin_<_r river as
it liasteiis on to join the sea: softly the

falls to the ground she repeats to hersclf—

"Hemp seed, I saw thee

Come after me and pau* thee."

She looked toward the end of the garden
and someone was leaning a_<_rainst the wall.
Janet uttered one long scream which
brou_<_:ht the old folks running out of the

Carl and l’liillip were at the. sea shore.
They lived in a prctl_v cott:n_»'e and had

\vislied to have it pill on the rocks close by
the sea. \\'hen their papa came home he
made a tent for them.

lt stood below the e<)lt:i_t_"(,', wlicrc you
could hear the water splash on some l:ir_<_re
rocks. Carl and Phillip were little fellows,
only six and scroll years old. They want-
ed to be Indians and sleep in :1 tent.

Some real Indians had a camp on the
shore not far away. They made baskets
and sold them to the ladies and cliildrcn.
Phillip :iiid Carl visited them and went
home much pleased.

"You will get tired of your tent when it
gi'ow's cold,“ said their iiiamina.

“You will come creeping into the house
as soon as it is dark,“ said the iiiii'sc.

The boys opened their l:ii'}_>'e eyes, but
did not answer. \\'hen the stars came
out they went into their tent.

"Can we leave the door open so we can
see the water!" asked Phillip.

"Yes,” said inaniina.

So the door was left: open, and all was
still inside the tent. The door was only a
bit of canvas. \Vhen bedtime came, papa
and inamma walked down to see how the
little ones were. There they were, fast
aslcep,"with a smile on each little brown
face. \\'ithout pillow or bed, they were
 h: ipy as two kings.

“‘ nly a blanket just like the Indians,’
was their wish, and they have one about
them, ” said papa.

“They may take cold here,” said the
tender—hearted mainma; so they were car-
ried into the house and put to bed.

How grieved they were in the morning!
how sorry because they were not really,
truly Indians! But someone said, “They
are brave little fellows, and will make tine.
fearless men some day. ”

Brave, Good men are needed in our large
world.—I;’ate Tmmatt lVo0a’s. ‘

OUR WORK.

The following has been approved by the State Grange as
a'fair statement of the objects the Grange of Michigan
has in view, and the speciallines along which it proposes to
work. We ho e every Grange in the state will work
earnestly in a 1 these departments. so that by a more
united effort we shall rapidly increase our numbers.
extend our influence. and attain more and more complete-
ly those ends which we seek.

OUR OBJECT

is the Organization of the Farmers for their own lmprove-
rnent. Financially, Socially. Mentally, Morally.

We believe that this improvement can in large measure
be brought about: _

1. (8.) By wider individual study and general dis-
cussion of the business side of farmin and home keeping.

(b. By co-operation for financial advantage.

2. a.) By frequent social gatherings, and the mingling
together of farmers with farmers. and of farmers with
people of other occupations.

(b.) By striving for a purer manhood. :1 nobler woman-
hood, and a universal brotherhood.

3. (a.) By studying and promoting the improvement of
our district schools. ,

(b.) By patronizing and aiding the Arzriciiltiiral (‘ol-
logos and Experiment Stations in their lcgitiniatc work of
scientific investigation, practical experiment, and educa-
tion for rural pursuits. _ _

(c.) By maintaining and attending farniers’ iristitiites:
reading in the Reading. Kyrclcz establisliing and using
circulating libraries; buying more and better magazines
and papers for the home. _ , _ _

4. (a.) By dilfusing a kiiovvlenlgze of our (_‘lV1l institutions.
and teaching the liigli duties of c1tizens|iip._ V

(b.) By demanding the enforcement of existimz statu tcs
and by discussing. advocating. and trying to secure such
other state and national laws as shall tend to the general

justice. progress and morality.

 

If any of our readers have copies of Oct.
3 of the Visrron to spare, we would be
greatly pleased if they would enclose to
our Lansing address. Our supply is ex-
hausted, and we have important use for a
few copies.

 

Bro. J. J. l\'oodinan, Secretary of the
executive committee of the National
Grange, announces that :1 rate of one and
one-third fare lias been secured to those at-
tending the session of the National Grange
at lVorcester, Massacliiisetts. The Michi-
gan Central Company will furnish :1 special
car, if desired, for all comin_t_r Vltl Cliica§_>‘o,
which will leave that city at 10:30 :1. 111.,
Monday, Nov. 11, and arrive in \Vorcestcr
at 1:47 the following day. If you go. sc-
cure certificate from agcirt that you have
paid full fare to l\'orcester.

 

A PLAN TO AID NORTHERN JIICJEIIGAN.

“'6 si1i‘inise that the chief reason why
northern Micliigaii has been so slow in de-
veloping a_r_rriciiltiir'ally is the luck of in-
formation possessed by people who have
never visited that portion of the state. A
great many have seen the urrdesirzrblc lands
of northern Michigan, but comparatively
few have seen the valuiible agricultii1'al
lands there. VVe therefore believe that any
measure or device which will aid in giving
the people of this state and country, or of
other countries, absolutely truthful infor-
mation about this portion of Miclrigaii will
tend to aid in its agricultiiral development,
and will therefore be of great benefit to the
entire state and to all the citizens thereof.
VVe have in mind a plan which, it would
seem, ought to be of service in bringing
about the result mentioned. The plan is
as follows:

Have :1 law passed by the next legisla-
ture, allowing any county to apply for and
secure an agricultural survey of its terri-
tory. The survey should be made by some
sort of a commission, consisting of :1 prac-
tical farmer, a scientific agriculturist, and a
surveyor. This party should inspect care-
fully every section of every township in
the county not now under cultivation, with
a view to establishing its value for farm-
ing purposes. The character of the soil,
the temperature, the geology, the plant
growth, the number and directions of
streams, the climate, the rainfall, the frosts,
the products, the markets, the roads and
railroads, and any other information that
would help them in deciding upon the value
of the country should be worked out by
this surveying party. All this material
should be published in a form which would
be readable by the average home—seeker.

THE GRANGE VISITOR.

The surveyors should be, of course, of I should organize this work and call upon

such character that there would be no
question about the accuracy and value of
their report. The law should be optional,
and the county should bear a goodly share
of the expense.

\Ve believe that this plan of an agricul-
tural survey would be of great value in de-
veloping the northern counties of our state,
which, as we have before asserted in these
columns, contain many thousands of acres
of land which will one day be some of the
most valuable land in Michigan. “'13
should like the opinion of residents of
these counties as to the value of such a
plan.

 

TO LECTURERS OF POJIONA GRANGES.

lVorthy Lecturer: lVe send you a
VISITOR containing‘ a marked copy of this
par'agraph. Please consider it a personal
letter. The special request we have to
make is this: That you send us a. brief
notice of each meeting of your Pomona
Granc_rc in time for publication in the VisiT-
on. The Visiroii is piiblished the first
and third Thursdays of each month, and
notices should be mailed not later than the
Saturday preceding issue. Please boil

-these notices down to the smallest possible

limits.

._ The other request is this: \Vill you, or
some one appointed by Pomona Graiigge,
send us a brief report of each meeting of
Pomona Grange for publication in the
Visiroiif lVhat we want is a report of
not over 300 words, giving a brief outline
of the meeting, with some of the points
brou,c;ht out, and omitting everything that
is not necessary. This report should be
written very soon after the iiicetingr so as to
be fresh news when it appears in the paper.
Sometimes we get a long report of Po-
mona ust as we are going to press, and we
either have to cut it down to almost noth-
ing or leave it until the next issue, when
it is too old. Our idea in making these re-
quests is simply to give more prominence
to Pomona Grzinges, and to make our news
columns more valuable and interesting.

 

THE GRANGE AN1%I5\:V{1TIOl\'AL LEGISLA-

.

Some time ago we had an editorial in‘

our columns on this topic. “'0 invited
comment from several State Masters, but
only one responded, Brother T. R. Smith
of Ohio; he a_zrecd with us in the main,
but said he thought the Grange should
push along all lines and not restrict itself
to two or three.

lVc wish to reiterate our position on this
subject. lVe have no motive except that
of aid to the Order in the work that it may
do. and the question involved seems to us
so important that we take the liberty of
again defining‘ our views. Our chief argu-
ment is that of concentration. “'0 do not
care particularly what ineasurcs the Na-
tional Grangc may see fit to champion.
“'6 care very little about the particular
methods that are used, whether they be
personal letters, or tclegra1n:s, or written pe-
titions, or “petitions in boots,” or what not.
The great thing is concentration, the picking‘
out of one or two or three measures of
great importance and pushing on them un-
til substantial legislation is secured. This
does not mean to neglect other important
measiires. The Graiige can well express
its views on any public question. But if
the Grange, as an organization, desires to
make itself felt as an instrument for secur-
ing legislation of benefit to the farmers of
this country, it seems to us of vital import-
ancc that this principle of concentration be
recognized and acted upon.

V\'e believe that if the next National

Grrange should choose the questions of pop-

ular election of senators and of free mail
delivery as the topics upon which its efforts
should be concentrated, the State Grange
of Michigarr could, without the least difli—
culty, persuade four or five of our Michi-
grin congressmen to take active steps at
llhshington in behalf of these measures; and
we have even faith enough to believe that the
_c_rreater part of our congressional delega-
tion could be induced to vote favorably if
not to act energetically upon these ques-
tions. But the State Grange of Michigan
has other matters to attend to besides this
and is not likely to take the initiative, es-
pecially if there is not any guarantee that
other states will co-operate. If the legis-
lative committee of the National Grange

the Michigan State Grange to see that the
Michigan delegation in congress is proper-
ly urged to vote and labor for these meas-
ures, we believe that the request would be
acted upon, and that sure results would
follow.

lVe are very earnest about this matter,
not because the plan is anything new. nor
because the National Grange has not done
remarkable and efiicient work in legisla-
tion, nor because we have a desire to force
any of our views upon that body, but simp-
ly because the situation, as we see it, calls
for just this sort of concentration. l\'e
earnestly hope that the National Grnn}_rc.
at its 'next meeting, will see fit to take
some such position, and we take the
liberty of pledging to that body the carn-
est support of Michigan Pzitrons in such
an undertaking.

LIQUOR LORE.

Some of our friends in favor of temper-
ance seem to feel there is no need of any
invcsti5_>fation into the statistics of the liquor
traffic. They say the injury done by King
Alcohol is only too apparent: that what
we need is not statistics but action. \\'c
partly agree with our friends in the latter
statement, but our point is that a thorough
nizistery of the situation, brought about by
careful investigation, will assist in securing
desirable action. Of course everybody
knows that the liquor trafiic does an im-
mense aniount of harm. Any teinpcrancc
man will tell you that. Go to the temper-
ance meeting and listen to the temperance
orator, and he will depict in a most vivid
way the evils of this tratlic.

But visit the state library. as we did
last winter, and endeavor to find some ma-
terial which will show 11p in black and
white the work of the liquor triifiic.
You cannot find it: you can dis-
cover the number of salooiis in the
state, the amount of tax they pay, and
from the revenue reports, upproxiinatcly.
the amount of liquor consumed, and that is
all you can find. The librarian will tell
you that there is nothing else there. “'0
«lid find one or two books which were al-

"ieged to contain statistics of the liquor

business, but they were all giiesses. N ow,
we believe most firmly, that if there were
inatcrial at hand sliowin,q the actual results,
as near as could be obtained, of the con-
sumption of liquor, it would not only in-
cite the people to greater elforts for terri-
pcrance, but that it would render such
efforts much more iiitelligent from the fact
that the points where dainage is greatest
could be first attacked. At present each
man has his own view reg:ii'diiig the best
points of attack.

As regards the social effects of the liquor
traflic, the same thing is true. Temper-
ance people assert. and we have asserted
recently in these columns, that our prisons,
asylums, poor-houses, jails, and hospitals
are largely filled by the victims, directly,
or indirectly, of the liquoi' trafiic. but
they do not know what the real pro-
portion is, for no thorough attempts have
been made to establish that fact. lie all
know that the liquor traflic injures the ca-
pacity of the working man, but we do not
know how much, nor do we believe that
the workin§_r people realize how riiuch they
are,» as a class, injured by this terrible
habit.

So we are very firm in the conviction
that an investigation, such as is proposed
in the Rcdfern Liquor Gornmission Bill,
would be of benefit, not only in gettiiig to-
gether some interesting statistics,ubut in
inciting the people to immediate efforts
for beating the saloon, and in aiding them
to know where to strike. \\'hat do Patrons
think of it?

 

ORGANIZED EFFORT.

Generalship means planning. ll'hat
characterizes great generals almost more
than anything else is the gift for shrewd
planning, Napoleon said that Austerlitz was
won before theubattle began; by keen manip-
ulation he had placed his foes in such a po-
sition that their defeat was inevitable. The
general must be a fighter, but he must first
be an organizer. There are hundreds of
other illustrations of the same truth that
organization and planning are what count.
Someone has remarked that if you have
ten minutes in which to do a piece of work,

take the tirst nine for plan ning it. This is
an exaggerated application of a principle
that is true and undeniable.

Apply this principle to Grange work.

‘ \Vherever we are weak, there are we unor-
< ganized or poorly organized.

\\'herever

 the Order is strong you will see thorough

organization and systenniticwi>i'k. There-

, fore we want to make an appeal for more

“'9
do not mean that the Grange should so or-
ganize itself that the work will be purely
machine work, but that in each phase of
the work there shall be sonic plan, some
object to work for. soiiictliing in view.
Take it in the literary work: there ou_«_rht
to be disciissioiis on }_reiieral farm topics.
lVhy not, instead of sc:rtteriir__o;, discuss
half 1). dozen of the most important topics,
getting all possible light upon them! Take
weeds, for iirstance, and have the subiect
pretty well exhausted, and do thoroii_;rli
work so that real good will come from it
to the nicmbers of the Gi'angc and to the
farincrs of the nci_ghboi'liood. Of course
it is more popular and imicli easier‘ to dis-
cuss this and that topic c:isi1:illy_ but we
believe that the real good comes frorii u
tliorou_«_rh goiiig over of fewer topics.
There are _c_rcner:il topics: every-diry topics,
such  the Cuban situation. and tliiirg.-. of
that sort, with which it would be rcally
better to deal systc11i:rtic:rll_v. Of course
the suine is true in l'0}_T:l1‘<l to lc}_risl:rtive
questions. A thorou,¢_rh discussion of a
few topics, gettiiu: all thc inforiiiatioii
possible upon them. and stud_vin_1 them,
and talking about them until some real,
geniiiiie, wcll bascd conclusion is reached
would be very imich better‘ than to wander‘
over the field of rcforin.

In -.1 less degree, this principle could be
applied to social work. “'0 believe, even
here. where uinuscmciit and rccrciitioii are
the chief uiins. that if some systeiiiatic plan
were followed. f_Tl'0:1tC1‘ good would ensue.
In \vo1ii:1n's work the saiiie thiii§_r holds
good. Give the woin:rii's work committee
two or three definite lines for the winter,
something that they slnrll work for, and in
which as they work they can see that they
make progress.

“'9 have ur_«_red this matter of ()i'ganize<I
ctl'ort many times, but we do not believe
that we have put the inzittcr too stroiiglyg
for as said before. the stroii_<_J:cr Grai1;_res
are the well oi'y_riini7.cilo1ics. Let us get to
work this winter with scvci':il definite ob-
jects in view, and work towards them all
the winter long. l\'c believe that results
will justify the added labor.

THE GRANGE VISITOR.

Some ‘Important Questions for Dis-
cussion in Subordinate Granges.

1. Do our state tax laws need reforming ?

2 Do our ‘highways needimproving, and how
can they be improved ‘B

3. How can the farmer best aid in solving
the temperance question ‘B Would a state liquor
commission be likely to help in a satisfactorv
solution?

4. Should public business be conducted on the
same basis as private business? Should ap~
pointments be for political service or for merit‘:

5. Shall we have stronger laws against food
adulterations ?

6. Can public expenditures, both state and
local, be wisely reduced ‘B If so, at what points?
7. How much money are the people of this

state willing to expend for the support of the
University?

8. Shall we have more complete home rule
for cities and counties ‘B

VVe invite, also, discussion of these top-
ics in the columns of the Visiron. Can
we not have some sharp, lively debates on
these questions this winter!

The Campaign.

The fall and winter campaign is now
fairly on. What are the de iuties doing in
their respective counties? he following
have reported:

Deputy ‘V. H. Bovee of Gratiot county
has reorganized Monitor Grange, No. .353.
This Grange has been dormant for several
years. It is now mostly made up of new
timber and of the best kind.

Deputy James D. Studley of St. Joseph
county, with the assistance of Bros. C. G.
Luce and D. D. Buell of Branch, has reor-
ganized Grange No. so‘, long since dor-
mant. Nearly all new members of the pro-
gressive sort.

Deputy E. B. \Vard of Charlevoix coi1n-
ty has recently had charters sent to two
bran new Granges.

VVho next to report? Now is the time to
locate fields for labor. Every deputy in
Michigan can do even better than these
brothers if they immediately commence the
work. It is systematic work and personal
solicitation that will count.

Trade Contracts.

How are you Getting Along with Them.

studying the contents of the trade circular
that is in the possession of the secretary,
so the contract firms will be patronized
when buying very many needed articles’!
How many are making up orders for boots
and shoes, groceries, fruit trees, etc '! Re-
member that these contracts are like the
Grange itself—you must make the effort
or you get no benefit. Instruct your sec-
retary to secure order blanks, price lists,
etc., that are not already in the possession
of the Grange and go into it for business.
It will certainly pay you well. Get faiiiil-
iar with details of all contracts and make
inquiries of the firms for any information
needed. The contract firms want to hear
from you and will answer you promptly.
This is a new deal so far as it goes, and
you must use it to get familiar with de-
tails. The arrangement of a new house
seems awkward at first, but we like it bet-
ter day by day and work becomes easier.
So with these contracts. \\'e have so long
been accustomed to getting each article
the day we needed it that to anticipate our
wants and order accordingly even with a
great saving in cost is going to be a matter
of education. The contract system is in
the right direction. \Vhat we need to do
is to prove our trade worth something,
and by experience make more perfect the
details. Gizo. B. HORTON.

At the twenty-eighth annual session of
the National Grange of the Patrons of
Husbandry, held at Springfield, Ill., No-
vember lulth to 22d, 1S1)l,inclusivc, the
following resolution was adopted:

8th. “And as a further means of ob-
taining the desired result, viz: Of secur-
ing to American agriculture its just rights,
as compared to other industries, we recom-
mend that the Legislative Committee of
the National Grange be, and hereby is, in-
structed to issue an invitation to all organ-
izations representing the various business
interests of the United States, irrespective
of political associations, to meet at 3 time
and place to be designated by said coin-
mittee, to confer on the monetary and
tarifl" questions now agitating the minds of
the people, to the end that seine recoin—
niendation looking to an equitable adjust-
ment of these questions, which shall have
a united effort sufiicient to insure silccess,
may be submitted to the Congress of the
United States.” i

In obedience to the instructions of the
National Grange, the Legislative Coinmit—
tee extends a cordial invitation to the mem-
bers of all organizations representing the

reat business industries of the Lnited
tates of America to send a committee
from each Association, National in its
character, to a conference, for the pur-
pose named in such resolution, to be held

in the city of VVorce'ster, Mass, Thursday,
November 14, 1895, and to continue from
day to day until deemed advisable to close
the conference. J. H. BRIGHAM.

The growth and perpetuity of our (firder

depends upon the activity of every Subor-

and successful meetings, but continual

able distance, and especially the most in-
tclligent and progressive. A campaign
for increase of membership should always
be on, but at this season of the year suc-
cess is most liable to result from your
efforts. The work needs to be deliberate-
ly planned and tenaciously followed. \\'e

the desire of the Grange to have them en-
rolled as members. Designate 21 Grange
meeting in the near future, to be known as
“application night,” at which time each
member will work to present as many ap-
plications as possible. If thought best the
Grange should give a prize to the most
successful member.

Report successes to the l'»'.-/‘fur, to stim-

In this connection and for the purposes

call your attention to the merits of the
Grange. It has lived. where most other
farmers‘ organizations have died. It is
fully equipped, from the Subordinate to the
County, State. and Nzitiiinal Grange. It
has passed over the years of experiment
and is now a live reality, doing a good
work all along the line, yet not so effect-
ive as if 3/011 and all your farm neighbors
were helpers. The conservative course
the Grange has taken gains the 1'cspect of
all classes, so that it was recognized by
those high in authority in the state and na-
tionas the real representative of all the
farniers' wants and ideas.

Comment on the Liquor Commission.

Eniroii Urli.-\.\‘(}l<1 Visiroiiz You ask the
readers of the Visiroiz to give their views
on a bill which you print in full, said bill
being designed to provide for the collection
of statistics with regard to the liquor
traflic in'this state. No man can deter-
mine what etlcct the knowledge gained
from such statistics would have on the
morals of the people. It would certainly
keep up the agitation on the teniperaiice
question. I believe we should continue the
agitiition. Seine careless boy may get a
favorable linpression sometime when we
least expect it, and be saved from a druiik—
ard's career, and a drunkard's grave. lf
I were to make any criticisiiis on the bill I
should say that the commissioners should

action. Organization and unison of eifort
are essential in sustaining such compara-
tive standing between interests as their
relative importance naturally give them.
The classes of people having similar and
identical interests, if unorganized, are at
the mercy of the organized. The farming
interest is the greatest and most important
of all, and on account of the many complex
conditions and demands that surround it
and the aggressive movements of other in-
terests, aided by thorough organization,
needs most the benefits that can come only
from a more united action. All farmers
seem willing to admit that some kind of
organization of their class is desirable and

this matter before much is acconiplished.

A resolution was introduced into Piranch
county Pomona Grange two years ago, and
there discussed, asking for the appoint-
ment of a state commissioner \vl10sc duty
it should be to enforce the liquor laws of
the state. It was discussed by the best
talent in Pomona Grange and was after-
wards introduced into the State Grange. I
believed then, and I believe now, that it
was a move in the right direction. Teniper-
ance men should not be too particular as to
methods. They should unite on some
general plan which promises success and
give it their best efforts. I am encouraged
to believe that the saloon must go. The
corporations of the country are coming to
our aid. They are weeding out intei1iper—
ate employees and filling their places with
sober men. Corporations are generally
made up of sober men and they prefer to
have sober men in their employ, and if the
people will stand by them they will work
a lasting temperance reform. Corpora-

which the saloon has yet encountered. Even
the farnier no longer is willing to trust his
expensive farm machinery to the in:inage-
nieiit of intemperate men. There is no de-
inand for salooii-educated men. The busi-
ness of the country as now conducted, calls

T for men with clear heads and steady haiids.

3 Agricultural Depression in England.

We lately noticed the addi'c.<.< of the
President. Sii' l)ougl:is Galton. in opening
the l’»ritish Associatioii at lpswicli. \\'e
desire now to call attention to addresses
made there by Lord \\'alsingliaiii and by
Pi'ofcssoi' \\':ii'ingtoii. which are also of
importance. The tirst reviews the causes
which have led to the present agricultural
depression in Eiighind. declaring them to
be partly economic. ]):ll'll\' social, and

: partly radical. The Eiiglisliiiniii has per-

mitted liimsclf to be outstripped both by
our own farincrs and by thosc of the con-
tinent of Europe. llihile he rcmiiined at
a coiiiparative standstill we adopted me-
chanical expcrinients: and the farmers of
the continent have always been far more
economical in expenditures than those in
England. These things continued until.
though the English farincrs could produce
more wlieat per acre than foreign farnicrs,
they could not do it at a profit. At first
this did not trouble the latter very nnicli.
and in their obstinate way tlicy went on
growing wheat at a loss. Nor did the p1'c-
siimably more intelligent landlord grasp
the situation: believing that rents niust
ultimately risc. he did not make his reduc-
tions in time. Even when the f:irmcr tried
new districts it was found that “empirical
knowledge was no guide in the farming of
a new kind of soil." The trouble seems to
have been both in capacity and in educa-
tion. No matter how sincere the English
farmer has been to get out of the way of
trouble, he has not been quick enoiigh; he
lacks the agility which is inanifest both on
the Continent and in this country. lie is
now paying the price of his obstin:1c_\' and
of his lack of zilci'tiicss and cduczitioii.
There is only one way in which the gov-
ernment can aid the farmer; niimely, as
Professor \\'arington advises, by teaching
him practical agriculture. since it is evi-
dent that he has never gained the best
knowledge for himself. The effort may be
attempted both by a lloard of Agriculture
and by the County Councils.~—- I/I///In/11.".

A Tribute To Farmers.

And--go where one will. the world over
—-l know of no race of men, who taken to-
gether, possess more integrity, more in-
tclligcncc, and more of those elements of
comfort, which go to make a home beloved
and the social basis firm, than the New
England farniers.

They are not brilliant, nor are they high-
l_v refined; they know nothing of arts, his-
trioiiic or dramatic; they know only so
much of older nations astlicii'l1istoi'ics and
newspapers teach them: in the fasliioiiable
world t icy hold no place; but in energy.
in industry, in hardy virtue. in substantial
knowledge, and in manly independence,
they make up a race that is hard to be
matched.

The Fi'eii<.-li pcas:iiiti'y arc, in all the
csseiitials of intelligence and sterling worth,
infants, coiiiparcd with them; and the farni—
crs of England are either the nierest jock-
cys in grain, with few ideas beyond their
sacks. saiiiplcs, and in:irket-d:i_vs: or, with
added cultivation they lose tlicii' independ-
ence in a subscrvicncy to some neighbor
pzitron of rank: and superior intelligence
teaches them no lesson so quickly, as that
their brctlircn of the glebe arc unequal to
them. and are to bc left to their cattle and
the goad.

There are English farniers indeed, who
are men in earnest. who read the papers,
and who keep the current of the year's in-
telligence: but such men are the exceptions.
In New England, with the school upon
cvcr_v third hill—sidc, and the sclf—regulat—
ing, frec—acting church to watch every val-
ley with wcck-day quiet and to wake every
valle_v with Sabbath sound, the men be-

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach the
diseased portion of the ear. There is only one
way to cure deafness, and that is bv constitu-
tional remedies. Deafness is caused by an in-
flamed condition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets in-
flamed you have a rumbling sound or imper-
fect hearing, and when it is entirely closed
deafness is the result, and unless the inflamma-
tion can be taken out and this tube restored to
its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed
forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by
catarrh. which is nothing but an inflamed con-
dition of the mucous surfaces.

We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case of deafness (caused by catarrh) that cannot
be cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure. Send for cir-
culars free.

CIIAPTIJIR VII.
.\I.\l{lNG Till-Llli MINDS UP.

That winter tliroiigh, in spite of_ Mrsi.
Hesslegravc, Katlileeri saw a great deal or
the iiiterestiiisg sailor who had taken to
painting. Half by accident, half by de
sign, they had chosen their piteliias very
close togetlier. Both of them were paint
ing on that quaint. old quay. the Fonda
menta. delle Zatt-ere, overlooking the broad
inlet, or Canal della Giudecca, where most
of the seagoing craft of Venice lie at an
chor, unloading. l\'.-ithlcen’.-- t':lll\':|.\‘ was
turned inland, toward the Cl'lllllllllllL{ old
church of San 'l‘ro\':i.~'o and the thick group
of little IJI‘l(l'_{(‘.\', curvcd high in the mid
die, that span the minor canals of tliai
half deserted quarter. She looked oblique
ly down two of tliose untroilden streets at
once, so as to get :1 double glimpse of two
sets of bridges at all po.-a<ible aiij_{les and

Midway between the
two rose the taperiiig r:ainp:inile of the
quaint old church, with the acacias by its
side, that hang their drooping l)l"!1UCll(.’H
and feathery foliageiiito the .-:ta_-.:naiit wa
ter of the placid ltio. But Ariiolil Wil
loughby’s easel was turned in the opposite
direction, toward the seaward runlcts and
the open channel where the big ships lay
moored. lie loved better to paint the sea
going vessels he knew and iiinlerstood so :
well—the thick forest of iii:i~'f.-2 the russet 5
brown sails of the nizirket boats from .\les
me, the bright reds and greens of the. Chi
oggia fisher craft, the solemn gray of the
barges that bring fresh water from Fiisi
na. It was maritime Venice he could best
reproduce. while l\'athleen’si lighter brush
reflected rather the varying moods and tes
sellated floor of the narrow canrils which
are to the seagirt city what streets and al
leys are to more solid towns of the main
land.

Thus painting side by side they saw
much of one aiiotlier Hilfllh ;'\lortinier.
who cherished a rnzzl likiiiu, tor Kathleen
grew jealous at times of the iii-iiiiilessa sail
orman. It seerned to him a pity indeed
that Kathleen Sl.t0l1l(l get entangled witl.
a fellow like that. who could never by am:

possibility be in a position to marry her.
But then Mortimer, being an American,
had a profound faith at bottom in the per-
suasive worth of the almighty dollar, and
though he was really a good fellow, with
plenty of humanity and generous feeling,
he didn‘t doubt that in the end, when it
came to settling down, Kathleen would
prefer the solid advantages of starting in
life as a rich Philadt-lpliian’s wife to the
sentimental idea. of love in a cottage, and
a poor one at that-, with a destitute sailor
who dabbled like an amateur in marine
painting. However, being a prudent man
and knowing that proximity in these af-
fairs is half the battle, Mortimer deter-
mined to pitch his own canvas in the same
part of the town and to paint a picture‘
close by to Kathleen and Willoughby. ‘
This involved on his part no small depar- ‘
ture from his usual practice, for Mortimer f
was by choice a confirmed figure painter, -
who worked in a studio from the living_
model, but he managed to choose an on‘.- 3
door subject combining figure with land- ‘
scape and dashed away vigorously at a

background of brown warehouses and m0l- -
dering arches, with a. laughing group of

gay Venetian models picturesquely posed ,
as a merry christening party by the big,
doors of Sun Trovaso. ’

Money gives a. man a pull, and Arnold

Willoughby felt it when every morning ,
Kathleen floated up to her work in Rufus 
Mortimer-‘s private gondola, with Mrs. _
Hesslegrave leaning back-—in her capacity ‘
of chaper0n——on those well padded cush-
ions, and the two handsome gondoliers ‘;
waiting ohsequious and attentive by the,
marble steps for their employer's orders. 1
But it was just what he wanted, for he;
could see with his own eyes that Mortimer ‘
was paying very marked court to the pret- ,
ty English girl artist, and indeed Morti- ,
mer, after his country’s wont, made no -
attempt to disguise that patent fact in any

way. On the other hand, Arnold perceived i
that Kathleen seemed topay quite as much 

‘ round
I would net er csirc to take any one of them

little one. She knows me very well.” He
hestitated a moment, then on purpose, as
if to try her, he went. on very quietly, “In
point of fact I lodge there. ”

Kathleen was conscious of a distinct
thrill of surprise, not unmixed with some-
thing like horror or disgiist. She had
grown accustomed by this time to her
cornpriniorrs rough clothes and [0 his sail-
orlike demeanor, redeemed as it was in her
eyes by his artistic feeling and his cour-
teous manners, which she always felt in
her heart were those of a perfect gentle-
man. But it gave her a little start even
now to find that the man who could talk
so beautifully about Gentile Bellini and
Vittore Carpaccio—the man who taught
her to admire and 11l’l(l(‘l’Siiill(l. for the first
time the art of the very earliest Venetian
painters, the man who so loved the great
Romanesque arcades of the Fondaco del
Turchi and who gloated over the details of
the mosaics in St. Mark’s—could consent
to live in a petty Italian shop, rocking with
salt coil and overhanging the noisonie bank
of a side canal more picturesque than
sweet smelling. She showed her conster-
nation in her face, for Arnold. who was
watching her close, went on with a. slight
shadow on his frank, sunburned forehead:
“Yes, I live in there. I thought you’d
think the worse of me when you came to
know it."

Thus openly challenged, Kathleen turn-
ed round to him with her fearless eyes and
said perhaps a little more than she would
ever have said had he not driven herto
avow it. “Mr. \\'illoughby,” she answer-
ed, gazing straight into his honest face,
“it isn’t a pretty place, and I wouldn’t
like to live in it myself, I confess, but I
don’t, think the Worse of you. I respect
you so much, I really don’t believe any-
thing of that sort-—of any sort perhaps-—
could ever make me think the worse of
you. So there! I’ve told you.”

“Thank you,” Arnold answered low.
And then he was silent. Neither spoke
for some moments. Each was thinking
to himself, “Have I said too much?” And
Arnold Willoughby was also thinking very
seriously in his own mind, “llarving gone
so far, ought I not now to go farther?”

However, being a prudent man, he reflect-
ed to himself that if he could hardly pay
his own way as yet by his art he certainly
.-nuld not pay some other one's. So he held
Lis tongiie for the inoinent and went home
a. little later to his single room overlooking
the side canal to runiinate at his leisure
over this new face to his circumstances.
And Kathleen, too, went home to think
much about Arnold Willoughby. Both
young people, in fact, spent the best tart

Ward clanibering houses it connnziiiilcd a
far more beautiful and extensive view
than any stranger could iniagiiie as he
looked up from without at the narrow
chink of blue between the tall rows of op
posite stonework, for it gave upon a side
carial full of life and hustle, and it looked
out just beyond upon a quaint, round tow-
er with a Romanesque staircase winding
spirally outside it and (lisclosing glimpses
in the farther distance of spires and domes
and campanili innumerable. But it w:isn’t
of the staircase, or the crowded canal, or
the long. shallow barges laden with eggs
and fruit that Arnold V\'illoughby was
just their thinking. His mind was wholly
taken up with Kathleen l{es.<le:.:rave and
the new wide problems she laid open be-
fore him.

He knew he was in love with her. He
recognized he was in love with her. And
what was more, from the way she had
said those words, “I respect you so mucli
I don't believe anything on earth could
ever make me think the wor.-c of you,”
he felt pretty sure in his own lllllltl she
loved him in return and hail divine-d his
love for her. Even his native rnndesty
would not allow him to ilcc:-ivc liiniself
on that score any longer, for he was a mod-
est man, little given to faiicying that wo-
men were “gone on him,” as Mr. liegiiiald
He.-zslegrave was wont to phrase it. in his
peculiurilialect. Indeed Arnold \Villough—
by had had ample Ca'i1.<e for rnoile.<t_v
in that direction. Lady Sark had taught
him by bitter experience to know his prop-
er place, and he had never forgotten that
one sharp lesson. Site was a simple cler-
gyman’s rlaugliter near ()xforil when first
he met her. and he had fallen in love at
once with her beauty, her inn-Jcence. her
seeming simplicity. She rose quickly to
an earl. He l-elieveil in her with all the
depth and sincerity of his hone:~'t nature.
There was nobody like Illanclie, he
thought——nobody so trite, so simple mind-
ed, so sweet, so trust'.v0rthy. A sirigle Lon-
don season made all the tlilference.
Blanche Midilletoii found herself the belle
of the year, and being introduced to the
great world through Lord Axniinster"s
friends as his affianced bride made the
best of her opportunities by throwing over
one of the poorest earls in England in fa-
vor of one of the richest and most worth-

less niarqui.<es. Frniii that moment the

they stood jllsl oiitsidc the inner
door. neither would llic_v1'cco}_riiize
or appreciiite the work bcirn_r done
on the iiiside.

For lllHi:ll1('(.‘. a little boy who

coinpelled by sickness-to stay at

when he rctiirned to school it hap-

number work was on the board for
them to solve. and all innocently
cnoii_<__rh the boy asked his teacher
to show him how to work the prob-

course she had to tell him those
were exaiiiination probleins and
she could not >-’ll()\\' him how to
work them. This fact he couiiiiii-
nicated to his parents, and the next
day the boy said, “uiy pa s:i_v:~: if
you can't show me how to work

To train up a child in the way
he should go is a very serious
matter and requires zi gi'cat deal of
