Kaikaska County,

Kalkaska county in no essential differ-

ent from many of like subdivisions of T

Michigan, is largely made up of two class-
es of soil, very good and very poor. .\bout
one-half of the county origin:ill_v covered
with pine is, under aii_v present methods of
farming practicall_v worthless. and this
constitutes the plains land aloiig‘ the .\l;ui-
istee and lioardiiiini rivers.

feature of this agricultural portion of the

county is the numerous strcaiiis and lakes 

and an abun<laiice of pure water on iic:u'l_v
every section: the surface is rolling but not
rough enough to preclude cultivation.

very favorable to the growth of both large
and small fruits, with the bare exception
of the grape aii-l peach, the quality and
coloring being far superior to that of very
many more of the more southerii counties.

Potatoes, corn. hay and wheat coiistitute
the bulk of our farm products, the potato
being the general money crop with a rap-
idly increasing acreage, ranking third in
the state in the yield per acre, with the
market facilities of two i'ailroads, the pos-
sibilities seem only limited by the niarket
demand. Corn is largely grown both for
forage and grain, in connection with the
silo contributes inaterially to the success of
the daii'y, which, although yet in its in-
fancy, is being rapidly developed andl be-
lieve is destined to be one of the leading
agricultural interests.

The surplus of hay, grain, garden vege-
tables and perishable fruits have for the
most part been, and for a number of years
to come, will he marketed in the many
lumber camps and iiianufacturiiig villages
of this and adjoining counties, at an ad-
vance in price over the general markets,
an advantage of no small proportion.

But of the future possibilities of agri-
culture niore depends upon the develop-
ment of the farmer than the land; more
upon energy and brains than upon the soil
or climate; more upon those educational
features offered in the Grange than upon
the brawn or sinew of the yeoiiianry; more
upon contentment, unity of action, with
every effort directed to a specific result,
less acreage and more intensified culture,
than upon the results of political action.
Yet all this is true of us as a class, without
reference to locality, and Kalkaska county
is in nowise so much ditferent from the
other agricultural counties of Michigan as
to preclude her from being classed fully up
to the average standard of the state in ag-
ricultural and horticultural possibilities.

Otsego County.
BY JOSEPH GLASSON.

The extreme southeast portion of Otsego
county for the most part is pine land, the
soil is light sand and of but little value for
agricultural purposes. Apart from this
the county is composed of good hardwood
land. The soil is a‘ sand and gravel loam,
mixed with clay. Running diagonally
from the northeast to the southwest, and
passing about one mile north of Gaylord,
the county seat, and averaging perhaps
four or five miles in width, there is a rich
belt of rolling land, which may be regard-

 ed as the fruit belt of the couiitry.

a good deal of heavy work for very little

other turnips are grown with success.

Taking it forall in all, this is not a bad
county for a good thrifty, iiidustrious
farmer with a little capital if he is pre-
pared to rough it for a year or two at the
start. The statement that has been made
on high authority "Give a man a team and
eighty acres of land in northern Michigan
and he will st':ai've,” certainly does not ap-
ply to Otsego county, as scores of well-to-
do farmers can testify.

HON. ENOS GOODRICH.
A BEAR STORY.

A few bears were occasionally met with.
but they were by no means plenty, and it
never fell to my lot to have but one en-
counter with them. It was a “muggy”
day in June, 1836, when in company with
my oldest brother, Moses, I set out from
the homestead, (now the farm of my
nephew, \Villiam G00(l1‘i('.l],) to find the
water power on the Kearsley, where the
village now stands. We had seen and pur-
chased the ground the previous October,
biit there was no road or pathway to guide
us, and we drifted too far down str/eani,
striking the Kearsley on the ground now
occupied by the Goodrich cemetery. As
we neared the stream we saw some black
animals rooting in the leaves on the flats
across the creek, which, in our York state
simplicity we took to be hogs. But as we
walked and talked carelessly along the
hogs, to our surprise, left olf their rooting
and began to climb the nearest trees. The
cubs, for such they proved to be, climbed
precipitately up the branchy trees, While
at the same time a huge she bear made a
very deliberate retreat through the thick
brushwood. Well ! l l We had no gun. Our

her reputation that she retreated "in good

ments:. hit the poor dog skulked and
cowercd behind my heels. He had proved
himself vcr_v foriiiidable among the black
sql1iri‘els of York state, but the black bears
of Micliigaii were a game he did not fancy.
\\'ell, l could not tree the old bear and
after chasing her two or three hundred
yards I hastened back to make sure of the
cubs. Still it was a long tight with mosqui-
toes before the guns arrived, and once or
twice the old bear showed up but she would
not let me tree her. Finally my two
brothers, Moses and Levi, arrived, bring-

“ ing withtlieiii two trusty ritles—-—and the

rest of the story is soon told. I took the
rifle bearing the heaviest lead and soon
brought down three young bears, while the
other ritle was reserved for the old one,
but she never showed up, and thus ended
my tirst and last bear hunt.

But in hunting wolves I was never a suc-
cess. V\'olves were as abundant as deer,
the woods were literally full of them.
Their howls at night were as universal as
the whippoorwill, and attracted no more at-
tention. But the wolf burroughed in deep
timber, while the deers grazed and gam-
holed on plains and openings. In the
wolf the bump of caution is wonderfully
developed. Bold and aggressive when
protected by the shadows of night, he is
cowardly in the day time. I have repeat-
edly scoured the woods after dawn of light
where they had held carnival all night,
without ever catching a glimpse of the first
wolf. Many were the deer they slaugh-
tered, but the instances of their attacking
human beings were very rare. It was very
seldom I could see a wolf, and never yet
got a shot at one. Once or twice I have
had them unpleasantly near me in the deep
woods and dark nights. From 1836 to 1842
our town was a part of Lapeer county, and
often on public and private business We
were called to La eer, its county seat, be-
fore the first roa had been constructed.

but I saw no glariiig c_vc balls, as most per-
sons would have done under like cii'cinii—
stances. At last the souiizl of the liorsels
hoofs told me we were crossing the log
bridge: :iiid if there had been any «laii;_"ei'
it was new behind us.

\\'hile we were building the (itio<li'l(‘l1
saw mill in the winter l\‘:II‘»—T, vcnisoli was
our principal meat, for if our own rifles
fiiiled to secure, a supply. it was readily
purchased of the liidi.-nis. It was the cus-
tom of our cooks to liaiig out the frcsli
meat to freeze, on the corner of the board-
inghousc. until the wolves tore it down
and devoui'cd it, while our 2U workinen
within were locked in their slumbcrs. This
was a little more than we could peaceably
endure, so a wolf trap was obtained and
set in the woods just below the_hill on
which the Free .\lethodist church now
stands. Night came, and the men were
at the supper table when a terrible outcry
was heard in the direction of the wolf trap.
Business at table was suspcn<led—knives
and forks were dropped withoutceremony,
and a general stainpcdc was inade to the
wolf trap. Sure enough, we had a genuine
full grown wolf, and as wolves when caught
are the ineekest kind of animals, be sub-
mitted to be bound and led in triumph to
the boarding house, to the cditication of all
opservers, especially the women folks.

There is one more woltish incident that
should not be lost to history. Jcniiny
Morris was a raw Englishinan and a ditch-
er. He had never seen a wolf, and his c_u-
riosity was strong. Hc had been told that
if he would rub his boots with asafctida
the wolves would follow him. So he pro-
cured tlic nostruin and I lent him a rifle,
and he marched boldly forth in the early
evening, making a circuit of perhaps a
mile, and climbing a low branchy oak at
the bend of the mill pond a few rods west
of where the Goodrich creanicry now
stands. Here, comfortably perched upon
a limb, he waited the arrival of the wolves.
Nor did he wait in vain, for in due time
they came in numbers. Cautiously they
approached at first; but when emboldened
to approach near the root of the tree,
J emniy levelled the rifle and pulled. But
to his consternation the gun refused to “go
otf.” He applied a fresh cap and repeat-
ed the process, but aorain and again it only
snapped. He niightdiave raised help from
the boarding house by a few energetic yells,
but he was too plucky. The night was
long, and his seat on the oak limb grew
decidedly uncomfortable, and not until
daylight in the morning did the Wolves re-

The Profit in Farming.

The following editorial from the Detroit
T/v;'/mac will interest our readers:

F arming as a business is needlesslv suf-
fering in reputation and just now when the
tillers of the soil are expressing their dis-
satisfaction with conditions, it is proper to
ask how much of the dissatisfaction may not
not be due to unwar1'anted expectations. and
to a misapprehension of the nature of the
calling of agriculture. Possibly the condi-
tions which farmers have selected as atf0rd-
ing them satisfaction are after all abnorni-
al, and not to be expected to endure longer
than the abnormal influences which accon1—
panied them. 'VVhat is true of all kinds of
business in the United States is doubtless
true of farming. The extraordinary in-
crease in population during the ten years
preceding 1890 caused a great industrial
exhilaration, which of course disappears
when the stimulus is withdrawn.

Each separate employment followed by
men has its own peculiar remuneration, ex-

ressed in peculiar formula. By no means
IS remuneration expressed entirely in the
money return. Everything which flows
from a man’s business to give him satisfac-

tion is reiiiunci':itioii. ,
It iiiay be health. It may be food for his
aiiibitioiis. liacli man has to take counsel
of his pi'efci'ctii-cs as aiiion;_»' the diti'crent
kinds of r<:iiiiuicr:ition and clioosc for liis

as you pass their fai'iiis——tlie tields look
tidy and the roadsidcs are nicely seeded to
_9'rass instead of everlasting weeds.

\Vc have laws for kcepiiig our liigli\\':iy:s
free from noxioiis weeds, but I never saw
or heard of their being enforced. It would
be hard to tell what weeds are most trott-
blesoine or what ones cause the greatest

loss, the least are bad enough. L. 12. w.
Bcdferd. Calhoun County. '

I judge by the appearance of the farms
throughout this part of our county that
there is a ditference of opinion among
farmers as to the losses occasioned by
weeds. Sonic keep their farms almost free
from weeds year after year, while others
are quite indifferent about them. But
without doubt the result of the two meth-
ods of farming is decidedly in favor of the
former.

There is no particular method followed
in exterminating weeds, in this locality,
that I know of. Some use salt to destroy
Canada thistles where they are in small
patches, but for large fields close pasturing
is the best and cheapest way to destroy
them that I know of. The laws relating
to the cutting of weeds in highways are
not enforced as well as they should be.
Our roads are yet new and the highway
labor is much needed for their improve-
ment.

The Canada thistle, milkweed, and quack
grass, are most dreaded and the most ex-

teeiiis

of any person, but not bccaiise this class of
books or papers are .sc:ii'ce. In fact, the
world never was so full of them. but be-
cause the vast amount of i'e:irlii1g. whether
in newspapers or books, is the veriest
kind of trasli. The .~\nicric:iii people are a
reading people. and reading with them is a
ti.\'cd habit. “'0 never realize how little
we lose from lack of access to the daily
papers until we go out of reach of them.
At tirst we feel lonesome. but after we
have been away for a week or two, with
nothing to read but weekly papers, or if
we travel where we have no special inter-
est in the papers and then come back, we
are surprised to find, in again endeavoring
to catch up with the world’s progress, how
very little we have lost. A man who could
have a weekly paper which would give in
a condensed form the substance, the gist,
the cream, of all that has happened in the
interest of humanity, would save a world
of time, expense, and trouble.

Apart from morals, and apart also from
the value or worthlessness of their matter,
there is a vast deal involved in the tone of
the books and papers that men may read.
Character is revealed more clearly in what
a man writes than what he says. In speak-
ing most men are on their guard, except
when talking in the intimacy of friendship.
In writing, they usual1v,unless there is
some artisan or selfish consideration to

The Eternal Goodness.

 

Oh friends! with whom my feet have trod
The quiet aisles of prayer,

blad witness to your zeal tor God
And love of man I bear.

1 trace your lines of argument;
Your logic linked and strong

E weigh as one who dreads dissent,
And fears a doubt as wrong.

But still my human hands are weak
To hold your iron creeds;

Against the words ye bid me speak
My heart within me pleads.

Who fathoms the Eternal thouglit?
Who talks of sclienie and plan 1'

The Lord is God! He needetb not
The poor device of man.

I walk with bare, hushed feet the ground
Ye tread with boldness shod:

I dare not lix with mete and bounrl.
'[‘he love and power of God.

Ye praise llis justice: even such
His pitying love l deeni;

Ye seek a king; l faiii would touch
The robe that hath no si-ain.

‘_'i'e see the curse which OVK-‘X‘l)l”()i’)(lS
A world of pain and loss:

1 hear our Lord’s be-atitiides
And prayer upon the cross.

More than your sclioolmen teach, within
Myself, alas! I know; 1

Too dark ye cannot paint the sin,
Too small the merit show.

1 how my forehead to the dust,
I veil mine eyes for shame,

And urge, in trembling self-distrust.
A prayer without a claim.

Li see the wrong that round me lies.
I feel the guilt within;

I hear, with groan and travail-cries
The world confess its sin.

Yet, in the maddening maze of tliings.
And tossed by storm and llood,

To one lixed stake my spirit clings;
I know that God is good!

Not mine to look where cberubim
And seraphs may not see.
But nothing can be good in Him

Which evil is in me.

The wrong that pains my soul below
I dare not throne above;

I know not of His liate—l know
His goodness and His love.

.1 dimly guess from blessings Known
(Jf greater out of sight,

And, with the chasteneil Psalmist, own
i-lis judgments too are right.

'1' long for household voices gone.
For vanished smiles I long,
But God hath led my dear ones on
And he can do no wrong.

*1 know not what the future hath
()f marvel or surprise, .

Assured alone that life and death
His mercy underlies.

And if my heart and tlesh are weak
To hear an untried pain,

‘The bruised reed he will not break,
But strengthen and sustain.

No offeriiig of my own I have,
Nor works my faith to prove:

I can but give the gifts He gave.
And plead his love for love.

And so beside the silent sea
I wait the niulliied oar;

No harm from Him can come to me
On ocean or on shore.

I know not where His islands lift
Their fronded palms in air;

I only know I can not drift
Beyond His love and care.

-0 brothers! If my faith is vain,
If hopes like these betray,
Pray for me that my feet may gain

The sure and safer way.

And Thou, () Lord! by whom are seen
Thy creatures as they be.

Forgive me if too close I lean
My human heart on Thee

THE TROUBLE A7‘ THE Ao'Rl(,'Ul.’l‘l]R.-1L
CI)LLEo‘13.

The ditlicttlty regarding President Gor-
ton at the .\gricultural College sccins to
have been one of mi.<pl:tccd judgnicnt.
V\'c liave nothing per.-oiial against Mr.
Gorton. but in our opitiioii he was not at
all fitted for the position of president of
the College, the protestations of several
city l1(‘:\\'.\'1)2t1)L‘l':‘v to the contrary not-
witlisttiiitliiig. The chief blame that can
be attaclicd to the action of the Board of
Agriculture consists 1st, in ever having
chosen l’rcsidcnt Goi'ton: 2d, in not dis-
inissiiig him a year and a half ago when
they must have known that he was not the
man needed; 3d, a mistake in policy in not
putting before the ptiblic a few cogent
reasons why he has not given satisfaction.
It is probable that the incmbcrs of the
Board themselves sec and own their mis-
takes. But all this talk abotit “at1tocracy"
and “desire on the part ofa few of the
faculty to becotiie president," and that sort
of thing, is the sheercst nonsense. The
College still lives, and no farmer of balance
or sense will allow his mind to be poisoned
against the College by newspaper froth.
This very time, when city newspapers are
crying the old cry, “abolish the Agricul-
tural College," is just the time for the
farmers to rally to the support of the Col-
lege, to assert that it is their College, and
to signify in what direction they would
like to have its policy extended or abridged.

In our judgment, the great need of the
College at this moment is (1 man. There
should come to this College a president
who has such standing, ability, and force
as to honor the College by his acceptance
of the presidency; a man who will be rec-
ognized as a friend of agricttltural educa-
cation; a man who has definite policies and
opinions regarding agricultural education;
a man who will restore confidence in the
College among all classes of citizens. Are
there such men? \Ve think so, and we
take the liberty of naming two men, either
one of whom would fully answer the re-
quirements, and who would honor the Col-
lege, rather than be honored, by accepting
the presidency.

The first one of these is Ex—Governor
Cyrus G. Luce. Gov. Luce is an old man,
but he is still vigorous of body and force-
ful of mind. He is a lover of the College,
one who believes in it. He speaks for it,
he always stands by it, he is thoroughly
familiar with its history and Workings, he
knows its needs. He has the confidence of
nearly all classes of the people, and espec-
ially of the farming classes. No man that
could be named would do more to make

would attract to the College a large _body 3

in its government. More than that, he
of students who would come there drawn
by his personal influence and power. He
would be loyal to the institution as a farin-
cits‘ college. \\'c do not know that Gov.
Luce could be persuaded to accept this
work, for the position is an arduous one.
and in some respects a tlianklcss one. lint
we are full of contidencc that if Gov. Lltcc

could be, there can be iioqucstion btit he

liither of these tiicn would, in our judg-
ment, be sticccssfttl: tlicy would restore
conlidcnce in the College, and that is the
tirst thing to accomplish at this »juncture.
There iiiav be othcr men who could do
this, bttt we do not know them. The lioard
cannot allord to try any experiment at
this stage: the man who comes to the (‘ol-
lcgc must have been a tried itiaii sonic-
whcre: and the better he is acqtiaiiitcd with
Micliigaii and its people. with Micliigaii
farincrs and their iicctls, with the .-—\gricul—
tural College and its policy. the more suc-
cessful he will be. other tliings being equal.

1.\'.s"1‘I'1‘L'TEs' IN NoRTHE1c.\' MICHIGAN.

The Board of Agriculttti'e has just held
thirteen institutes in the northern counties
of the lowc1' peninsula. Tlicsc, including
fotir in the upper peninsula held the last of
October, make seventeen held this season,
or just one—fourth of the entire number to
be held. Many of these institutes were not
largely attended, while some of them were
fully as well attended as many held in the
southern counties of the state; but invari-
ably, whether the attendance was small or
large, the institute workers report interest
and enthusiasm. In many of the counties
the farmers did not know what an institute
is; they had hardly even heard of such a
thing, to say nothing of attending one.
They did not know exactly what to expect,
btit in those very places those who attend-
ed went away saying that that was the
smallest institute they would ever have in
the place, that they would tell their friends
and neighbors, who would surely attend
the next institute.

The benefits of the instittitcs in these
northern counties would be hard to meas-
ure. Not only have the people received
instruction of a nature which they appreci-
ate, but they have received inspiration.
They have discovered that they themselves
have experiences worth something, that

' they can talk if they will, and that the in-

stitutes are to be a source of benefit to
them financially and socially.

It is a noticeable fact that in those coun-
ties where the Grange has been at work
successfully for a number of years, there.
was no trouble in getting a good institute,
while in those counties where the Grange
is not known, the farmers were less ac-
customed to such meetings, the attendance
was smaller, and the discussions less spirit-
ed. Those who have attended these north-
ern institutes have noted this fact espec-
ially. It is an interesting -commentary on
the real work and power of the Grange.

The Grange has an opportunity in these
northern counties which it should not let
go. They are hungry for organization. VVe
must go to them with the Grange and

i show them how it helps and how, in con-

Then there is the higher interest which
every citizen has in the good of the com-
inoii state. The tcmpcrancc qttcstion.
therefore, is an itnportatit otic to farincrs
simply because the farnicrs arc citi:/.ciis.

The question then at'isc.~' can the farnicrs
aid in solving the liqttor question! lt
sccins to us thattltcrcisnotany doubt about
this: it scctiis to us that tlicy can aid ma-
terially: we would go even fartlicr and say
that it is their duty to aid. and that in :1

evils of the liquor traiiic, will settle the
liquor question. It is their lutsiiicss just
as much as much as it is the btisiness of
dwellers in cities. It is for their interest
just; as vitally as it is for the interest of
their friends in the cities. It is tlteirdtity.

Now the question comes home to the
Grange of Michigan, which is the repre-
sentative fariners' organization of the
state, can and should we aid in solving the
liquor question! “'0 have answered this
already in saying that the farmers can and
should help solve this question. Yes, in
our judgment, the Grange should take a
strong stand in favor of temperance, not
only by resolving that they favor temper-
ance, btit by taking such action as shall
show the people of Michigan that the State
Grange proposes to do all in its power to
settle this question satisfactorily. lVe are
a temperance body. “'0 are interested in
all phases of the liquor qticstion and its
evil results. \\'e can not afford to remain
silent. “'0 can not do our duty while in-
active.

The practical question is, what can we
do! Of cot11'se our readers know that we
have been advocating the establishment of
a state liquor commission along the lines
of the Rcdfern bill, and ottr judgment
would be, and ottr hope is, that the State
Grange will see lit to make this very coin-
mission bill one of its leading topics, and
will request each Subordinate Grange in
Michigan to thoroughly discuss this ques-
tion during the coming year, to the end
that at the session of the State Grange in
1896 we may present a united front on this
subject.

‘V0 also want to say that we care less
whether this Redfern l)ill is endorsed than
we do to see the Grange take some for-
ward step, and some bold, active step in
favor of temperance. The great thing is
to bait the saloon. V\'hatever method is
used, or whoever is the originator of any
method, is of little moment. The great
thing is to make progress. \Ve want to
call the especial attention of delegates to
State Grange to this liqtior question, with
a hope that the State Grange may take
active steps.

What the Grange has Accomplished.

It is not within the province of finite
beings, nor within the scope of hiimaii ut-
terance, to tell all that the Grange has ac-
complished during the brief period of its
existence. Not until "the books are
opened” will all of its deeds of love, of
charity, of mercy and of the uplifting of
humanity to a higher, nobler and purer
life be fully lzortrayed.

It-is possible to give a little of what has
been done by the ()rder and bring to
notice a few of the results of associated
efforts by the farnier;s: of this county.

In a country of such vast proportions as
ours, with such a variety of soil, climate
and productions, and such a diversity of
farniing interests, it is a source of much
congratulation and encouragenicnt. that
the farmers in all sections of the country
have laid aside their differences of opinion,
if such existed, and united their common
efforts to improve their condition, protect
their interests, obtain a better recognition
for agriculture, and to secure a greater de-
gree of prosperity for themselves and the
country at large.

Soon after the Grange came into exist-
ence, the fariiiers saw that they were
greatly deficient in a practical knowledge
of almost everything which did not relate
directly to the raising of stock, farm crops,
and complying with the seemingly plausi-
ble deiiiands of political bosses.

Aeeustomed as they had been to leader-
ship by men of other classes, they distrust-
ed their owii abilities, they lacked the self-
reliance and confidence in themselves which
was necessary to enable them to stand up
manfiilly and battle for the right, in main-
taining their true position not only as till-
ers of the soil but as citizens of this grand
republic.

During the brief period which covers the
existence of the Grange, a most marvelous
change has taken place in this direction.
No longer are the farmers dependent upon
the lawyers, or the ministers, or profes-
sional nien to do their thinking and talking.
A score or more of years of education and
experience in the Grange has developed
their latent powers of thought and of
speech, given them confidence and self—re—
liance, and brought them to the very front
as thinkers, writers, speakers from the
platform, and legislators in state and na-
tion. “'hat the Grange has accomplished

with its arcade and its loggi.-1, he sees the
clustered cup11l:1.~1 and spires of St. Mark's,

Cloudless and clear, every glen and crag
pinked out by the searching rays, they
stood silhouetted in pure white against the

. solid blue sky of Italy. In front of them
St. Mark’s and the Campanile were out-
lined in dark hues. ’Tvvas a sight to re-
