the party whip drive the fariners to sup-
port the ticket. Farniersinust make party
inainagers understand that farmers, like all
other citizens, pay taxes and support the
government, and are entitled to protection
under just law, the same as all otherclasses.
And a party or an individual who ignores
the rights of agi'iciiltui'e cannot secure the
farmer’s vote to retain them or him in place
and power.

Fariners must inform themselves on all
questions that atfect the country, and make
no demand for legislation that is not just
and right. They should never ask for the
passage of any law that would grant to
them special privileges, and Work unjustly
to any other class of American citizens,
neither should they permit any law to run
on unrepealed that gives to any other class
of citizens protection and benefits not
equally enjoyed by the farmer. Farmers
are entitled to a law that will protect them
from the ruinous conipetition of those en-
gaged in the adulterations of food products.
They are entitled to protection from the
thraldom of trusts and combinations of
capital to tix arbitrary prices on what far-
mers have to sell or buy. Let it be dis-

which now hold in check unscrupulous
greed and tzonscieiiceless opportunity for
fraud. It must not be allowed. Instead
of repeal let it be strengthened. Give the

Qt'i:sTio.\' 1. What cliangezsr, if any, are
needed in present methods of marketing
farm produce!

farniers place themselves in the hands of
niiddlemen!

.\'[,'(}(§l£.\"l‘l()I\'.\‘,.

This topic for discussion may at first
thought seem coniiiionplace and unworthy
of serious eonsideratioii, but a secondary
thought brings to mind the fact that every
dollar of revenue from the farm is derived
from the sale of soiiie product of the farm,
wliich goes either directly or iiidiret,-tly to
the consuiiier. and the fariiier is more
deeply iiitei'estcd in what he sells than in
what he buys. because his ability to buy
dependsentirely upon the profits of his
sales. In foriiier years. when farm pro-
ducts brought reiiiuiierative prices", the
fariiier paid but little attention to the per
cent of prolits between hinisclf and the
consuiiier, butiit the present time. when
the cost of production, in iiiaiiy iiislaiiccs
exceeds the iiuirket value of tlic product,
there seciiis to be sometliiiig wroiig, and
the fariiicr wants to know what it is, and
where it c.\'l~«ts. lf he iiitcrvit-\v-2 the: con-
sumer he will had that the price of the
article, in many case:-._ has iiiorc than
doubled .-tiiice lcaviiig his lianils. if the
eastern or we; '::'n beef raiser goes" to I“-3..-\\'
York or liostoii. he will find that good
cuts of beef from the same str-,<-rs which
he solil for «f'~3I..\.'i per liuiidrc-l. are :-l.‘lllltg'
at l.\\'(,‘lil.t'—ll\’(.' cciits per pound and up-
wards. ii’ the \'crmoii't r.l:uiryiii:iii goes to
any large niiirl-Let he will ‘find that tliesaiiic
butter whiz-li he sold for twelv.--, or iifteen

 

cents per pound, costs the (‘Hit-‘.l.’ll'xl' from
t\\'eiity-tive to thirty cents per pound. As
a rule, wliai fariiicrs sell inust tirst go to

the wliolesale house, from the wliolesalc
house to the jobber, from the jobber to the
retailer, and from the retailer to the coii-
sumer, and the f.iriiier at the pres,eiit time
pays the shipper. the transpoi't;itioii coiii-
pany, the iecciver, and so along down,
just as iiiucli for handling a given nuniber
of bushels or pounds of his produce as he

tlisciissing question one, iiiarket conditions

parts oi" the country, should be iii\'csti§_-"zit-
ed and tliorouglily tiii-.lei's,‘io:n,l. in this, as
in otlier iiiattt-i's, tariiiers trust too iiiuch
to other classes. Une of the iiiost serious
iiiistakcs which the l'tl.l'lIlv’.‘l‘H of this country
make, is their carelcssiiests iiilzl .-ipparciit

article and every aiiinial that goes from
the farni.

In disco.-'.-‘ingipicstion two. the sulijt,-ct
of co-opcratioii is iiicidciitally bronglit for-

Milking Machine, or Lactator, in

Sweden.

By friendly permission of Dr. de Laval,
I had the pleasure of seeing this wonder-
ful apparatus in operation at his estate,
Lilla Ursvik, Spanga County, biweden,
where experiments have been going on
since October last under the management
of Mr. Abr. Forssell.

it has been thoroughly tested and found
perfectly satisfactory to introduce to farm
owners. The milking itself, that is, the
evacuating of the ud_der——1s effected by
mere mechanical workings of the teat, and

not, as lately‘ appeared in the press, by

’ ent arms, one for

combined squeezing and suckino’. Arti-
ficial suction has proved to be rather mi-
practical and injurious when repeated too
often. and this is the reason w y such a
method has been omitted in constructing
the lactator.

The milking is done by two special “or-
gans," or a pair of cylindrical rubber rol-
lers. that catch the teat at the root, thus
shutting otf the milk therein. The rollers
then move downward to the lower part of
the teat, from whence the milk isstpieezed
out bv two ilates moving parallel with
each other. he function of the rollers is
rendered possible by a hold above——tlie so-
called roof that is regularly moved against
the udder, whereby a slight thrust is given
to the udder, soniething like knocks that
the calf gives when sticking, which facili-
tates the descending of the milk in the
teats as well as the secretion of the milk in
the vesicles ofthe udder.

livery milking iiiac.liine has four differ-
each teat, which, al-
though with joint axle, work indepen-
deiitlv of each other and even alternate
in their movements. Their adaptation to
the uddcr is done instantly. The arms
move very casilv on joint and spring ar-
raiigciiieiits in‘ every direction without
loosing‘ the nccessar_v steadiness. The
pres.-tire against the udder is effected
through the apparatus being fastened on
a ll(il'l’/.t)l1l:tl rod and so l):tl:t1)t_‘h‘(l that the
front part, wliich contains the driving iiie—
clnniism and is coiisiderably heavier,
p1‘c.s‘sc.s: the lighter back part against the
uddcr. This pressure can be increased, if
iieccs.-;:ii'y, by loading the front part still
lii(i1‘c.

The axle that is coinnion to the four

l arms acts on a very ingenious, but. at the

saiiic time, vcr_v simple systciii of eccen-
tricpulleys and levers. The rotation of
the axle is ctfected tlirougli a cord that
is let over the licads of the co\vs. and is
(‘Hllll!itJl] to all the iiiachincs. Tlirou,/li a
simple coupling. this cord gives a speedy
rotation to a flexible axle through which
the rotation is conimuiiicated to the axle
of the four arms by means of a coupling.
which is done in an instant.

The placiiig of the apparatus on the’

cow is a vci'_v easy pcrforiiianec. .\ liclt
that carries the rod is strapped on the
cow with a single buckle. The apparatus
is lirst started and then put on the rod
and lll(,‘tlliT(*.1'(’l1l. arms are adjusted under
their 1‘cspecti\'e teats, which the rollers
then iiniiiediately seize and the iiiilkiiig

bcgin.s..
The milk is coiiducted through tunnel-
shaped St)--(fztliifll “teat protectors and

short rubber tubes to a small tin cup that
is liaiiging in these tubes. from whence
throogli a vacuum arraiigciiicnt it is
drawn up to tin a bucket that hangs above
the cows licads. l“rom the moment the
milk leaves the teat protectors till it gets
into the tin bucket, it has not had any coii—
Ilection with the outer air. liven if the
appii,r:itus works awliile after the udder
gives no more milk. and con.s‘e«pieiitly the
tin also becoiiics 2-.uipt_v. no air cntcrs on
aceonzit of the autoiiiatic iiiraiigeiiieiit.
and this lias; the rcsult that the milk is as
free as possible fr-.iiii bacteria and keeps
l0l)f_7'i:l'.

lly using the lactator, the great trouble
to procure and control dairy maids is
avoided: besides, the milking is done in a
sutlicieiitlycleaniiianiier to meet all hy-
genic demands. The dairy products will,
of course, at the same time keep longer
and become more valuable.

Can the ordinary dairy people handle
the niacliiiief is a question that is asked
before one has witnessed the ease with
vvhich the iiiachine  iiiaiiaged. It is the
intention of the company to send out ex-
perts (men or women) to every place
where these machines are installed, who
are to teach the dairy people and a1'e to re-
main until they have given thorougli iii-
structions with regard to the working of
the apparatus.

Does the machine empty the udder per-
fectly.’ Tliis seems to be one of the iiiost
important qualifications the mzicliine
ought to have. and fortunately, this «pies-
tion ean be satisfactfirily answered.
V\'hen this was tested and the apparatiis
had ceased to give any more milk, hand
milking was tried, with the result that
there was no more milk left in the udder.
“"0 convinced ourselves that such was
really the case.

Is the machine injurious to the udder?
No. The cows seem, in fact, to enjoy lie-
ing treated by the machine. Even cows
that never became accustomed to hand
milking and always showed impatience

iduring that performance seemed to be

much pleased with the working of the ap-
paratus. To tind out whether the machine
would hurt the udder when left working
after the evacuation, the apparatus was
recently left working on a cow for an
hour and a half after the udder was emp-
tied. During all this time the cow showed
no impatience; neither did anything point
to an abnormal activity in the udde ; no
blood was absorbed nor had the teats
suffered any injury.

Does the apparatus reduce the milking
power’! This question is a very difficult
one to answer before the machine has

been in use a certain length of time. It

Qis, however, a pleasure to be able to make

a few statements in this respect that tend
to show that the apparatus, in this ini-
portant mattcr, has an advantageous
rather than a contrary etfect, viz., that it
seems to preserve the milking power. as is
shown in the case of two young cows of
mixed Shorthorn and Ayrshire breed.
bought from the same place, calved on
the same day in October last. about
equally developed, in the saine good con-
dition, aiid had always had the same food.
The one has, since the middle of Decem-
her last been milked b_v the l.‘l('ltltt)l‘_. the
other one by hand. \\'hile. in .\'oveiiibcr
and December both gave exactly the saiiic
quantity of milk per day. about 10 liters.
the one milked by hand began gradually
to dry up in January. so that the tpiaiitity
now is down to 7.5! liters. The other one,

_ however. that was milked by the lactator

during all this time still gives about the
same quantity, or ‘.t.;’ liters. In another
instance where the hictator was used all
the time, an old ltutch cow, that calved in
Jilly last. right after the weaning gave l‘.l
liters per day, iiicrcased to 23-} liters very
soon. and now, afteriiiorc than .-’i.\' Iiiontli.-.
gives 15 liters per day.

Another objection to the use of the lac-
tator has been raised in the suggestion
that the cows would not get fervent. This
has, however, diii'iiig this little of experi-
ments proved to be absolutcly false.

\Ve shall now consider the cleaning of
the apparatus, which is zilways believed
to bea very coniplicated atlair. Not a
single part of the macliincr_v comes in
contact with the milk: it is only the teat
protectors. the rubber tubes, the tin cap,
the bucket that need a tliorough
cleaning after each time the iiiacliinc has
been used. For the cleaniiigof the rub-
ber piirts El very ingenious rinsing tub.

Therefore, it is, of

It is, however. like-

The apparatus works with a speedof about
ninety “suuee'/.iiigs" a minute.

The iiiachiiicry and the \:tt’!ll}l pump
need no more power than can be obtained
from almost any source of power. Tl'ierc

Co-operation.

Coiiiinittce on (‘o-operation, subniiltcd tl.-=1:
following report, whicli v. :c-' .-;doptcd:

In the general report of the (‘o.-iiiiiit.t,:>n

, on Co—operatioii, an effort was iiiadc to im-

press upon the minds of our people the
priniary principles which, ii’ atlopted, wiii
lead up to practical co—opcration and its
perpetuity. First, the ncce:-'siL_Y: S€:t‘<')llvl.
organization: third, educ:ition; fourth, co-
operation. with fraternity liist, last. and
all the time. To ()1';~_{‘2tlll1»‘.e we start with
the people in their own hoiiies, and by
bandiiig a few together in a comitry neigh-
borhood we have, coniparativel_v speaking,
the little sound or company. Tliese little
coiiipanics we call together by states and
we have the rcgiuient. These regiments
united and we have the army strong and
irresistible, that is to go on and battle for
the farnier. giving him protection and as-
sistance in all his life's work. It is plain
that without the little home company
there woulcl be’no regiment and no army.
The raziks of the neighborhood company
must be kept filled; the drill and equip-
ment eoiiipiete or we lose all. The Subor-
dinate Grrange is the table upon which we
place the food that is to nourish and give
strength. These viands should be pleas-
ant and attractive to the taste and the eye.
The Grange that studies carefully to bring
to itself the varieties that are most appre-
ciated and enjoyed by its iiieiiiliers, will
attain the highest point of usefulness in
supporting the Order at large. So much
of our usefulness depends upon our finan-
cial success that it now becomes the plain
duty of every Subordinate Grange_ to be
active in the work of supplying its meni-
bers With all the opportunities for secur-
ing the many articles of use upon the farm
and in the home.

So many manufacturers and first dealers
are now Willing to make terms for trade
direct, that your committee recommends

 

the trade contract svsteiii now in success-
ful operation in many of the states as the
iiiost practic.-il and efficient method. .*s‘t:it.e
(li':irigcs should through a special detail of
the work to some one person who is best
equipped throu-._rli business training and
business methods. make and revise con
tracts, and in the most effectual way keep
all thcir .\'ubordiiiatt‘ (,ir:ingc- well. in-
formed of conditions and terms. \'\'liere
twoor thrcc .st:itt.'s are well located for
coiiiiiicrcial distribution. they can gain ad
vantage by pooling on tlicsc coiiti'acts. .-\ll
coiiti'acts should be niadc on the liasis of
small pcr cents on the aggregate trade
with each lirni. and to be paid to the State
(irangc at the end of cach year. This to
compensate for the expense of keeping the
work well t‘.\'L‘t'llit‘tl.

ln this connection we desire to lll.‘1l\’f,‘ it
plain that each Siil>«ui'iliiiiitt- tiraiigc will lie-

5ut the fundamental fact in regard to
the \\'e:s:t in early days was its relation to
land. Professor Boutmy has said of the
lfnited States, “Their one priniary and
predoiiiinate object is to cultivate and V set-
tle these ‘irairies, forests. and vast waste
lands. The striking and peculiar charac-
teristic of American society is that it is
not so much a. democracy as a huge coiii—
mercial eonipan_v for thediseovery, cultiva-
tion, and capitalization of its enormous ter-
ritory. The United States are primarily a
commercial society, and only secondarilya
nation. " Of course, this involves a serious
misapprehension. By the very fact of the
task here set forth, far-reaching,ideals of
the-state and of society have been evolved
in the V\'est, aecoiiipanietl by loyalty to the

M. Boutmy’s description hits the substan-

one of us should hear in mind that out of
our homes may flow influences that will
stimulate the cioinmonwealth and perhaps
the whole civilized world. History is full
of examples of this kind: and none more
so than our own. '
There came a time in the history of our
nation when it was necessarv to have a
strong man to lead her throu_9:h a crisis,

and it was found in the person ofa Lincoln ‘

whpse strength of character was no doubt
due to the influence brought to bear upon
him by his stepmother. Mary \\'ashing-
ton was one of the strongest women that
the century produced, and the character
of the son reared by her has been the guid-
ing star of the nation from its infancy.
Poor, but cultured, she cast the spell of
her influence over her son, training him to

Vincent who said while speaking to a hod_\'
of stmleiits. “Make yourself master of the
styles of the masters of style. “ And we
will add, "Make yourself niastcr of the
tlioughts of the leaders of thought.“ Now
this can only he done h_v the reading ofthc
leading periodicals and good hooks. First
and l'orcniost of all hooks is the reading of
the lhhle: not only for the religious and
moral thoughts that will he gained, but no
hook is so much quoted and contains purer

5 amt stronger language than this old hook.

it is well to begin early in life to accuinu-
late a library. if we as parents arc carc-
ful to see that only the best stories are put
in the hands of the children there is but
little danger of their rcading the degrading
literature that our in-'.vs standsarecrowded
with.

Tlicrcis another ilillllciice which inakcs
or mars the ideal home: and that is the re-
sult of associates and associations. It the

discolor a whole life.

iiet us not forget from these homes of
ours are coming the future citizens of
.\merica: then let us at every opportunity
encourage a love of country and of the flag.
Not that kind of patriotisni which shouts

of wliatever is good and pure in the nation-

teacher had a right to expect anything,
judging from the appearance and condition
of sonic of the school houses in which some
of the teachers are obliged to spend a part
of their time.

I have in mind one district in which the
school house was located on the edge of a
inainsh.
was anythin~_>' hut inviting, hut it was ten
fold better than that of the inside. The
plaster was oil‘ in places, the sto\'e 'was
hroken, and boards were placed in the
sashes where windows are conniionly ex-
pected to be seen. There was not a globe,
map, picture, chart or even a hell. But
under these same conditions as iiuich is ex-
pected from the teacher as if he were
placed in a school room fully equipped
with all the appurtenances conducive to
good results.

The late law, however, helps the teacher,
in that it compels the board to get most ‘of
the necessary articles.

Amid such surroundings as mentioned,
what is there to impel a teacher to higher
aspirations? The connection between one’s
surroundin s and one’s conduct is very in-
timate. T c more attractive one’s sur-
roundings the higher will be the aspirations.

But free lands and the conscioiisness of
working out their social destiny did more
than turn the \\'esterner to material inter-
ests and devote him to a. restless existance.
They promoted equality among the \Vest-
ern Settl(‘I'S, and reacted as a check on the
aristocratic influences of the East. Where
everybody could have a farm, almost for
taking it, economic eqiiality easily resulted
and this involved political equality. Not
without a struggle would the VVestern man
abandon this ideal, and it goes far to ex-
plain the unrest in the remote West to-day.

we shall publish the others just as rapidly
as they come. We hope that our readers
will take an interest in the contents of
these various articles, and will feel perfect-
ly free to comment upon them through the
VISITOR. They will also furnish material
for lectures in (imiigc meetings. We shall
be very glad indeed to make the Visiron ll
medium of coinmuiiication between the
authorities of these state institutions and
the tax payers. So far as we can judge
from the letters received. the heads of these
institutions are very glad to make public
anything in regard to the workings of the
institution. This is the proper spirit; and
on the other hand the tax payers have a
perfect right to criticize these expenditures
or any acts of any of the institutions. But
this, we may say, should be done in a per-
fectly fuir spirit, and with adequate knowl-
edge. Sometimes we are inclined to crit-
icize on hearsay or because we have jumped
at a conclusion. ()n the other hand, some-
times the inanagers of public institutions
are inclined to resent criticisin from out-
side, feeling that people do not know what
they are talking about. Neither spirit is
just. Public institutions should be con-
ducted with absolute publicity. The pub-
lic should feel free to criticize. but should
not. criticize unless they know what they
are talking about. VVe want to make the
Visrron Ii medium for both the institutions
and the tax puyer. Be free to comment.

The Agricultural College opened its for-
tieth year .\londzIy of this week with ii
good attendance. A number of ladies have
entered the women's course, and the fresh-
men class is of large size and ofgood quality.
containing some fine looking young fel-
lows. We find throughout the state a very
ftiV0l'8.l)le sentiment towni'd the College.
Gnidiiully the College is making itself felt.
and especially from its experiniental side
the fariners are coming to think that it is
an institution of iininediate value to them.
The women’s course is starting off auspic-
iously, and we expect that it will soon be
one of the most popular features of the in-
stitution. Patrons who contemplate send-
ing their girls and boys away to school

should investigate the Agricultural_ Col-

lege.

There has been in session at Lansing this
week a body of men who have formed
whzitis known as the “Michigan Anti-

Saloon League.” This society has been
organizing for some time in it local way,
prepamtory to the state 0rg9.niza.ti0n. It
is modeled after the plan which has been
in vogue in Ohio for several years. and
which has done very effective work. The
plan, as we understand it, is to form 8.
non—p:irtsiun, ll0I1—Se(:tzi.l'l8.l1, temperance or-
ganization, whose purpose is to accoinplish
anything to beat the saloon. So far as we
can judge from its work. and from thepur—
poses of its proinoters, it is worthy of all
comiiiendation. Its axlvoczites do not seem
to be fanatics, but men who earnestly feel
that this liquor problem is of the greatest
moment, and that not enough is beingdone
to solve it. They also believe in uniting
all shades of belief and opinion, and in do-
ing aggressive work both in the way of
forming organizations. and more especially
is seeing that the laws are enforced and
new laws enacted. If this league remains
true to its purposes, we shall feel like com-
mending it most eiiiplnI.ticzilly, and believe
that it will be of the greatest, value in help-
ing to solve this vexed probleni. We hope
that l’atrons will, through the pLipCl'S.
keep truck of its work and results.

VVe have two notable articles in this is-
sue in regard to getting legislation by the
Grange. One is from Brother Anr0uJ ones.
Master of the Indiana State Grange, and
the other is from Brotlier F. \V. Redfern
of the executive committee of the Michi-
gan State Grange. Both men have hndex-
perience in legislation and are well ac-
quainted with the methods customarily
used there, and also the methods that are
most legitimate and ellective. \Ve (‘Olli-
mend their utterances to every Patron.
This matter of legislation we cannot dwell
too much upon. There is scarcely any
danger of overdoing it. The average citi-
zen neglects it entirely, and we have no
fear that we can urge the matter too
strongly. The Grange has shown that it
can do something definite and strong, and
we must not rest upon our oars this time.
W'e must not ask for class legislation but
we must demand legislation that is for the
best interest of all the people, and which
is of especial interest to farmers. It ma
be laid down as a general rule that that
legislation which is for the best interest of
so large a class as the farming community
will be for the interest of the Whole peo-

,l ple. VVe may also say that any lzl\\' which
j is for the general good will be for the ben-
3 efit of the farmer. Let us tlisriiss Iliesc
various questions. get postc<l upon them.
- and prepare to unite in our tlclllillltl for
what we want.

Right in this line we wish to iiicntion .-I
: (‘ll'('lllll.~'l.H.nL'e of recent «late. We l't‘(‘t.‘l\'l_‘ll
a letter from an aiclivc. cut-i'gvlic l’;iti-on
‘saying that their (ii'uiI;_re wislicul to gel
from the nominees to the l(‘j_7l.~'lélllll(‘ soiizo
sort of an idea what tlwy would «lo when
they got to Lansing, if L'lt,‘t'l(‘(l. We slig-
gested to him that he use the "plIitforiii“
which we suggested very iiioIle.<tly to lllv
mliticul parties fl. few issiics ii-_ro. We be-
lieve if every incinber of the lcgi.-liitiire
stood upon such :1 pliitftwiii and would
agree to use his best endczivors along the
line there indicated. we would have more
useful legislation than we huvehad in lll:lll_\'
a day. Perhaps there are other (il'll.llf_V(‘.\

the legislature on the sziiiic siibiect: it mm-
not do any harm. and it in:i_v do 21 great
deal of good.

So far as we are able to judge from per-
sonal visits in over sixty counties of the
state during the present suminer, the farm-
ers’ institute law which the (iriinge sccuI--
ed two years ago has proved a vei-_v pop-
ular lav . Most of the counties are very
much interested in the work for the com-
ing winter, and many are even entliiisiiistic
about it and are already making definite
preparations for the work. This not only
illustrates the wisdom of the Grange in

for 51 Grange sermon. These institutes
are valuable wherever they go. They are
usually the most interesting and enthusias-
tic, to an outsider at least, where there are
already Granges. They are perhaps do-
ing the most iinniedinte good where there
-no Granges, but if they could be followed
up in every county by a large increase in
the number of Gmnges, their work would
be multiplied vastly. \Ve believe in the
fa.rniei's’ institute.—~we believe it is :1 great
power for information. But if in every
community its work and lessons could be
enforced and nniltiplicd by weekly meet-
ings of u live Grunge, there is no comput-
ing the ndvaiitage it would be. These nrc
hard times, money is close, people must
look to every cent they spend, yet in our
humble judgment these are the very reas-
ons why such work as institutes and
Granges should he pushed. If people ever
need the Grange they need it when they
are discouraged. lf they never need it,
it is when they are prosperous. Let us
hope that the good work Iiniy .go on this
fall and winter in spite of the stringency.

The Industrial School for Boys.

II» \Vork and Cost.
BY J. E. ST. JOHN, .\'L7l’ERll\"1‘ENl)l‘]NT.

EDITOR (1‘rRANoI: VisiToIi:—-—- Your letter
0fAugust 21st was duly received. I should
have answered at an earlier date but was
busy with my report, iind luid it aside un-
til that could be completed. I appreciate
the necessity of expluiiiiiig to people
who do not visit our state institutions and
who cannot know about the iminugciiient
unless it appears in the iiewspnpcrs. lam
also aware of the fact that the tax payers
are the very ones who have it right to know
in rega.rd to the details of iiiuiizigeiiient us
far as the financial part of the institution
is concerned. l would sny in regard to
the Industrial School for Boys, that we
have been receiving #356,000 per your for
running expenses for several years, that
amount was based upon 450 boys as the
maximum number. Two years agoour nuni—
ber increased to over 550 and our Board
felt the necessity of asking for an increased
amount for that appropriation; however,
with close manageiiient and by postponing
some desirable repairs we have been able
to cret through the last two years with no
deficit, despite the fact that we have been
caring for at least 104) boys extra. The
Board also feels while we are in great need
of the appropriation they will not ask -for
it on account of the so called “hard times”
and the tax payers feel that their burdens
are extremely heavy, but I hardly see how
we can get along through the next two
years. These boys have been cared for on
the same amount that have been expended
for the past several years. It is necessary
that this large number of boys should be
well fed, well clothed, that they should
have competent teachers in the schools,
competent instructors in the different
trades departments and that they should
be properly cared for at all times.

Those people who are not familiar with
the Work in this institution have an erron-
eous idea in regard to the amount of work
performed by our teachers and other em-
ployees. They are on duty almost con-
stantly during the whole day and are re-
sponsible for the safe keeping and good
conduct of the boys at night. There is a.
feeling of responsibility connected with the
work of this institution that differs widely
from all clerical or mechanical Work. It
is impossible to care for 550 or 600 boys

that it was all that could be desired. It
seems, however, that the cordial greeting

clasped hands with Lenuwee was very im-
pressive and caused all the guests to feel
they were not only welcome, but the
boundary lines had widened to give us
room. The large pavilion was artistically
decorated with grains, fruits and flowers,
and the sta.rs and stripes above it all spoke
to our hearts of the love of our common
country, and the patriotic expressions
found in each feature of the program was
evidence of the loyalty the fariners bear to
the nation whose soil they till. It is al-
ways in order to express one’s appreciation
of the music on such occasions, but unfor-
tunately your correspondent cannot, begin
to do it justice, and so will only_ say, it
was exceptionally fine and delightfully
varied. The good that was accomplished
for our Order must have been very rent.
And many must have been taught how
valuable it is, as an organization, for our
aoriculturists. After a day spent in such

easing and interesting Ways, each must
have gone to their home feeling the truth
more than ever before of the W0l‘(lS, “Be-
hold how good and how pleasant it is for
brethren to dwell together in unity.”

THE GRAN GE V ISITOR.

Agricultural Education.

l’roba|ily no other branch of education
has made more progress in the last twenty
years than that of farming.
ago, we saw a piece of land, surrounded
by a dilapidated rail fence, its owner liv-
ing in a log house, his stock in a rudely
constructed building, and the crops grow-
ing with difliculty under the methods of
cultivation which the owner employed.
But a change has come over it. Today we
see an educated farmer, his farm bearing
every evidence of hard thought and study.
VVe see the most improved methods em-
ployed by him in raising his crops, feeding
his stock, and disposing of his produce.
Years ago nniscle was thought the only
element necessary for the farmer to possess;
now brain work is the necessary factor. It
requires as much brain work to run a farm
successfully as it does any other business,
and the farmer who studies scientifically
his method of farming is going to be suc-
cessful. See what is being done to educate
the farmers and their sons. Almost every
State of our Union has an experiment sta-
tion, where new methods are tested, and
reports of these are sent to all the farmers

now being held in many of the States in

V - l
liarmers‘ Institutes are

order that the farmers may come together 
and learn from each other new methods of ,

cultivating the farm crops and feeding their
stock for meat or for dairy purposes.

Farm papers of all classes and languages 

are being printed and
throughout the agricultural districts. Ag-
ricultural schools are at present being es-
tablished at most of our state universities
and colleges to \\'hi('l1 our younger farniers
may be sent and taught the most improved
methods of farming. We send young men

being circulated,

away to colleges that they may l)0('()lIl8'

doctors, lawyers, teachers, and engineers,

and why can we not send them to school to

becomefainiers.’ Thetime has come when. .
if we wish the young farmers to become

successful in after life, we must educate.
them in the most improved methods of»
farming. The young fai'iii<,-rs of todayj
are the builders of the farmers for tomoi'— i
row. If we do not educate them in thel
principles of agriculture, how are we to;
expect them to become successful as such 3

with elevator if desired. of which tlit-re is
a standard kind made here at the cast and
advertised in the leading agricultural jour-

use.

If this, after the corn has been husl-ted,
has been properly put up and cared for,
the work of shredding can be done as
wanted for use during the winter or if it
is dry enough to put in a niass. then a
large amount can be llrepared if desired.
in cold weather we have found an advan-
tage in preparing at one time enough to

it will warm up considerably, making it
more palatable for stock.

Birds are of incstiinahle value to
mankind. Without their unremitting

‘services our gardens and fields would

be laid waste by insect pests. But we
owe them a. greater debt even than
this, for the study of birds tends to de-
velop some of the best attributes and
impulses of our natures. Among them
we rind examples of generosity, unsel-
fish devotion, of the love of mother for
offspring and other estimable qualities.
Their industry, patience, and inge-
nuity excite our admiration; their songs
inspire us with a love of music and
poetry; their beautiful piumages and
graceful manners appeal to our es-
thetic sense; their long migrations to
distant lands stimulate our imagina-

Is it not worth while to do some-
thin_<_r to protect the birds and pre-
vent their destriiction before it is
too late? A powerful influence
for good can be exerted by the
schools if the teachers will only in-
tcrest themselves in the movement,
and the benefit that will result to
the pupils could hardly be attained
in any other way at so small an ex-
penditure of time. If it is deemed
unwise to establish another holiday,
or it may seem too much to devote
one day in the year to a study of
birds, the exercises of Bird Day
might be combined with those of
Arbor Day.

It is believed that Bird Day can
beiadopted with profit by schools
of all grades, and the subject is
recommended to the thou htful at-
tention of teachers and so ool sup-
erintendents throughout the coun-

Arnold hardly knew what to answer. This
cordiality flurried him. But after 3- SI-‘101‘i5
preamble he drew forth the check and ex-
plained in a very few words that he couldn’t
accept it. . _

Mr. Stanley stared at him and rang his
little bell. _ _ "

“Ask Mr. Lockhart to step this way. he
said. with a puzzled look; “This is a mat-
ter to be considered byjall four of us in
council.” ‘ _

. Mr. Lockhart stepped that way with
cheerful alacrity. and to him, too. Arnold
explainetiin the briefest detail why he had
refused the check. The two D3-1"7n91'5
glanced at one another. They bummed and

i in slow tone.-:
i “\Vcll, this is a disappoiiitiiié-nt to u.-‘. l ‘:

GRANGE PICNIC AT El.\'.»\, 'I‘US(1OI.A ('0.

Whitney Grange No. 513 and Prog-
ress Fariners' club held aunion picnic
on the 18th of August. There was a
large attendance and a general good
time was had by all. The meeting was
called to order by presiding otficer
Keys at an early hour. Vocal and in-
strumental music was the order in the
forenoon. After a bountiful dinner.
such as farmers’ wives and daughters
only can prepare, Wm. Wilcox, a grad-
uate of the University, gave a short
and interesting talk about the Univer-
sity work. President Bradley of Prog-
ress club talked upon the benefits of
farmers’ clubs. 0. M. l’ierce,secretary
of Pro ress club and Whitney Grange,
No. 51. . read the Declaration of Pur-
poses of the Grange and gave a short
talk on the aim and object of the or-
der, its benefit to farmers etc. The
event of the day was an address by A.
0. Bird of Highland, on club and
Grange work and needed reforms in
state, county and township public
aliairs. Mr. Bird spoke veryhighly of
the Grange and its work; callint! (Espec-
ial attention to the grand work of Mrs.
Mary A.§Mayo. Thought Farmers’ Club
and the Grange had the same object
in view and could accomplish much by
working together.

five weeks ago. You see,” he said, “I was:
taken with a severe attack of sciatic and‘:
muscular rheumatism about the first of last;
December, and no person knows what tor-‘
turc I underwent except those who have.

been similarly afflicwd. I lost my appetite, 
began to fall away In flesh and my nights:
were sleepless. Day and night I siilferedi

alike owing to excruciating pains in my legs, l
hips and arms. At last one side from the!
hip down ceased to trouble me, it had 
come palsied, and you might have stuck al
pin In its whole length for all the fceling.i
I now fully made up my mind that there;
was no cure for me and that I would be ai

helpless invalid for life. I consulted the,‘

best physicians to be found, but their medi- I
cine did me no good. I rubbed myself with ,
different liniments, swathed my limbs in
flannels and tried almost everything in the
calendar both externally and internally, but
all to no use. I continued to grow worse
and worse.

“One day my wife said to me, ‘why not try ’
Dr. 'VVilli'ams’ Pink Pills, I have read of
several testinionii-vs where sciatica and rh'eu--
matism have been cured through their use.’

reiterated her statement and advice, and as
adrowiiin man will <-at:-.h at a straw, I told
her I won d try them and she sent out and
pi-omired ii box. I began using them new

boxes more, and now," said Mr. Ilardwiok, l
taking a box from his rket, “them is the ‘

“I am now lifiy years of age and am a‘

above firm. that I may be considered a resi-_

and pain in my left side. For over three
months my back gave me great trouble and
kept citing worse and worse the pain in
my 51' 6: also increa-ml until suffered con-
stantly day and night. I could not sleep and
my a petite was about gone. I began to fear
that would l)e(-nme ii chronic invalid.

“ During those days and weeks and month:
I tried several highly |'I‘('0l1lIlleIl(It’.d and ad-
vertised remedies but the longer I took them
the worsel got. I had made up my mind
that there was no use taking any more medi-
cines as they did me no good, but seemed
rather to aggravate HIV disease.

“One da a frien said ‘Jack, why not
try Dr. Wil iums' Pink Pi ls, they are said
to be good for almost any disease flesh in
heir to, and they muy_possihly cure yon.’

"Isaid oh, they are no better than tht
others and I have no faith in anything.

“ A few days after this I sent and not a box,
believing possilwl ' that if they did me no
good they would u no harm. I began (In-.Ir
use ax-cording to directions. Iieforc the box
was finished, much to my sur rise I began
to fuel once again like my oh self’ and the
pain both In my back and side grinliiiill de-
creased. I then sent and got three mxei
more and continued their use and by the

‘time the last box was used I found my luuck

was as well and strong again us when a boy.
The pain had also let? my side entire-lv and
although two months have passed since I took
my last. pill, and I have been working hard
every day, there has never been a rI§(‘llrPPIl“€
of my trouble. I never felt hell:-rin mylife,
in fact, the pills have made a uew nmn ufme.
I fa-r-l healthier and in more buoyant spirit:
than for so-veriil years prior to my IIlllt‘>S.

“ Yes, I am confident that Pink Pills:-ure-d
