The anti-monopolist. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn.) 1874-1878, 1875-07-08
The organization

must attain success. The organization
throughout the State is nearly perfect.
Each officer and every member knows
his duty. But let US not think our work
done. We are now ready tor the ma
terial part of our duties; the real work
for which the Patrons of Hussandry are
organized. Let us one and all, aim to
keep up the usefulness Of each Grange,
and the interest of every individual
member. Let US discuss AL measures
and mature every plan, that We may be
ready whenever an opportunity offers to
speak our word for the common good.
Let US cherish the social element of our
Order and seek to elevate ourselves and
keep pace with the rapid development
of the 18th century. Ignoring the arti-
fee Of demigogues and place-hunters,
let us place our most worthy men in
positions of trust, and send our wisest
to battle with those who oppose us.
Let us make the future in every way
worthy CT the past, and instill into oul
lives the essence of our beautiful ane
elevating ritual, that ere long agrlcul
ture may be as nature intended, the
most healthful, the most useful and the
most noble employment Of man.

Statistics of Losses by the Potato Bug.


The value of potatoes in local markets
has averaged fully SSO,OOO,OOO Tor the
whole crop since the prevalence OF the
potato beetle. The yield has been about
I2O,OOO,O 900 bushels per annum, and the
loss from these insects may be considered
an under estimate at $12,OOO,OOO per
year. AS the price has advanced with
the decline of production the consumer
has shared with the producer the loss,
vet an intrinsic value of 8,OOO,O GOO per
annum has been sacrificed, with large
additional amount for the application OF
Paris green, the labor of hand picking
and other expedients employed IN the
desperate contest between DoryphOrG
and the potato grower. To illustrate =
illinois with stood the first serious shock
|. in this combat in 1867, and the total pro-
duction fell off 20 per cent. the rate OF
| Weld declined from sc to 60 bushels per
| acre according to records OF the De-
partment Of Agriculture), and the aver
age price almost doubled. In 1868 the
Weld was increased to II bushels, and in
1869 there was further Improvements
and an increase in quantity OF 3,OOO,O wv
or 4 .OOO, 900 bushels. Striking out lndi-
ana the rate Of Weld fell off more than
half, and the price doubled. In 1870
the beetle began to invade Ohio in earn
est, andthe State returns show a decline
from 9,627 ,75S bushels in 1869 to {, 12l, :
$50 in 1870, the average falling off from
$4,000 to $1,000 acres. Inc
battle has since been waged
with varying success. the returns
tor 1871 being 9,627 1853. and tor 1879
5.966, 3lG bushels. The first effect oi
their appearance was to deter farmers
from planting, after which the advanced
prices cost a determined rally.

prompt and emphatic denial, and if there
be any shadow of foundation tor it, the

NORTHERN NOTES.

From n valued correspondent, who
has recently returned from a trip to
Mountain City, MnTscillcs and Bull hun
districts, We have received some inter
cSting facts relating to their mines,
mills and prospects:
At Bull liun, the Blue Jacket mine is
yielding more abundantly than ever be-
fore; the vein increasing in size and the
or" i'll value. The upper tunnel has
been driven III II distance OF 800 feet
through ore almost the entire distance
that mills from $50 to $3NO per ton, the
ledge being from eight 10 fourteen feet
i'll width. The lower tunnel is now in
5T0 feet and the same chimney Of ore
struck which was found in the upper
one. The mine is admirably situated
for working through tunnels which are
run lcngthwise upon the vein and also
ut II great depth below the groupings.
The orc being comparatively soft, is
easily extracted, and 10y means OF the
excellent trarnwny from the mouth Of
the tunnel TO the mill, il delivered for
reduction at II cost Of thirty cents per
ton. In tho present condition Of the

Of the season began with rain and then
then turned to SLOW. 1t came on uui-

mountains have already adopted their
Winter garments, and n very little more
OF the clothing will put n quictus to fur

matter OF course, comes the long stories
OF rich discoS cries, which will lie talked
over around the cabin fire or Il bar-ruom

to hear them talk; ut least it shows
