Proceed in the Proper Way.

The following sensible and timely ad-
vice is from the Patrons Helper.
A Patrons general duty is, to sustain
the order in and out of the grange
Whatever imperfections there may be in
its laws or the conduct of those admins
tering the laws, they are the proper SUBJ
jects OF criticism only in the grange; and
when changes are desired or thought
necessary, the law-making power is the
only one that should be resorted to to
effect them. A majority of the subordi-
nate oranges can secure all needed re-
forms or changes in the laws of the State
and National Oranges, by taking the
proper course. There is but one proper
way to effect such an object, which is
through the order itself, and not by dec
larations and charges and unjust insinu-
atoms in the public press.
Ifit is designed to amend the constitu-
ton of the National Grange, the most
effective way is through the subordinate
oranges instructing the State Grange to
represent to the National Grange, the
necessity therefor. Ifa sufficient num-
Der of subordinate oranges, through
their representatives, show that a major
ity are in favor of any change, the State
Grange must so represent to the National
Grange. A serious and united effort of
that kind always has its influence with
the law making power, and cannot be
without good and satisfac-
tory reasons being given. Any other
plan to secure changes in our laws is not
very likely to be successful, and anyone
who attempts to alter them in any other
way than a legitimate one, will do more
harm than good.

The Source Of Salt.

The sea depends on the disintegration
of rocks on land for salt. Rains wash
it and hold it in solution as particles are
liberated by violence, decomposition and
gradual action of many natural forces.
All streamlets and rivers, therefore, are
constantly transporting salt to the sea.
If there is more than can be held in So
luton, then it accrmulates in masses at
very deep points. Thus the salt mines
Of Portland and the vast horizontal beds
of pure salt in Texas, As we'll as that
mountain of salt in St. Domingo, we're
collected at the bottom of ancient seas,
which are now dry land remote from
water. There are places in Africa where
the process of disintegration of salt from
rocks is regularly going on, but there is
not water power enough to force it on
ward to the sea. Hence the particles are
spread abroad and mixed with the soil.
The negroes Of North Africa have dis
covered its distribution where there is
no water to dissolve it in the ground,
leach it. In that way they seperate the
salt. Salt pervades the earth. 1t exists
in the grasses and on most vegetable pro-
ducts on which animals feed. In that
way they derive enough in most countries
to meet the demands of their natures.
They require as much as civilized hu-
nanity. With them salt is necessary. as
With ourselves, for keeping the organs of
'ision in good condition. Stop the sup
ply and blindness would ensue.

KEEP THE FARM AND HOME TIDY
Like other good things, the following
good advice comes to the surface occasi-
onally, and will bear repeating: "Ii
you get moment to spare, spruce up;
put the gate on its hinges, put little
paint on the picket fence you built last
year; trim up the door yard make it
cosy and inviting. Do not say you can
find no time to attend to these things.
The fact is, you have no right to be
slovenly. 1t can do you no good, but,
on the contrary, it will mar your peace,
wound your self-respect and impair your
credit. Then, by all means, spruce up a
little at odd times, and at even times, too,
for that matter. 1t will make you feel
vastly better, and maybe, triae prouder
of your pretty homestead. Your wife
and children will be made happier for it !;
your neighbors will be enriched; beauti.
fed and blessed by it; and your farm
will be worth more in the market, and
of greater value to you at home, if you
spruce up little now and then"

When to Buy Sheep.

As a rule the best time to buy is in
the late summers fockmasters who
have kept their sheep through the winter
prefer to shear them before selling. 1t
is usually most profitable to do so. AT.
ter the first to middle of August the
lambs are ready tor weaving, and the
farmer knows pretty we'll what the in
crease ofhis flock is to be. and also what
his crops Of grain and grass will allow
him to winter properly. The seasons
yield at home also affords the number of
stock to suit the probable contents of
barn and granary. Ordinarily, where
one seller of store sheep can be found in
the spring, ten can be found in the late
summer or fall.-NafionaI Lire Stool

SONG OF THE SEASONS.

Gaunt Winter finging fakes Of snow,
Deep burdening field and wood and hill;
Dim days, dark nights, slow trailing fogs,
And bleakened air severe and chill,
And swift the seasons circling run
And still they change till all Is done.
Young Spring with promise in her eyes,
And fragrant breath from dcwy mouth,
And magic touches for the hooks
OF budding flowers when wind Is south,
And swift the seasons circling ruiz
And so they change till all is done.
Then Summer stands erect and tall,
With early sunrise for the lawn,
Thick foliaged woods and glittering seas,
And loud birds chirpings in the dawn.
And swift the seasons circlins run
And 50 they change till all is done.
Brown Autumn, quiet with ripe fruits,
And hasg,r.ls stacked with harvest gold,
And liery fl,lshes for the leaves,
And silent clOul-skies sOft-c0ntrOllel.
And so the sc isons circliny run
And still they change till all is done.
Swift spee.ls our life from less to more,
The child, the man, the work, the rest,
The SOLDERING mind, the ripening soul,
Till yon,ler all is bright and blest.
For so the seasons circling run
And swim they change till all is done.

Prevention Of MIIdew.

1t is said on seemingly good authority
that mixture of molasses and water
literally sprinkled on plant will destroy
the mildew, the theory being that a
thin film of sugar is left on leaves and
branches by the evaporation of water.
This deprives the mildew of air and
kills it. 1t would in time injare the
plant, but the next rain or thorough
watering washes it off aud leaves the
breathing places once more open. The
application should be made as promptly
as possible, and in any case it is likely
ttat some black spots will remain on the
leaves, where the mildew has wrought
its work on the exterior cuticle. The
proportions may be about six parts water
to four of molasses, but absolute accuracy
is not essential. A weak solution of
glue is also recommended, the
action and effect being the same as with
molasses.-Mristian Union.

REMEDY FOR THE SQUAsH-BCG.-Take
quantity of poppy leaves, stalks, buds,
ETC., or any part of the poppy, and steep
in water, either cold or hot /; and if pop
pies are not to be had, take small
quantity of opium and dissolve it in
water. This liquid applied with an ex-
ceedingly fine sprinkler to the vines
once, or perhaps twice, will cause the
"varmints'' to leave the plant never to

Ashes for Poultry.

Some weeks age a correspondent of the

poultry, as engendering cholera and the
'gapes, and in proof states that poultry
shut up with "only strong I've to drink,
will die in twenty-four to forty-eight
hours" / have raised chickens, more
or less, for thirty years, and have relied
mainly on free use of ashes scattered
broadcast under the roost in the rolling
places, in the nest boxes (under straw,
as preventive of disease and vermin.
have in no year lost over, and seldom SO
many, as five per cent, from any and all
diseases together. l have often noticed
my poultry, young and old. drinking
from ash drains, and, being apprehensive
of ill-results, watched them until salts
fed that weak infusion of alkali in
their drinks was at least harmless, and as
they preferred it where plenty of pure
water was as easy of access, came to
tuc COuCiuSiOu IildI IicTc HiuSt Dc COu-
ditions of the poultry system harmonic
ing, at least. with an alkali. In Kansas
1 had neighbor who, for succession of
seasons, lost many fine fowls with chole-
IA. She had leach put up Cor soap
making. After the ashes had been thor
oughly leached for soap, she continued
to run water through them for breaking
the hard we'll water, and kept it standing
in the leach through where her poultry
had free access to it. Cholera left. and
for two seasons following-up to the
time Of my coming here-her poultry
was healthy. The ashes had been kept
out of their reach previously. Strong
lye, like many other good things in a
form, is destructive to ami.
NAL life generally. Sour milk is excel
lent for poultry, but I am satisfied that
too much causes cholera.

Farm ano Firesioe.
Feedi-g Farm Horses.

During discussion on farm horses at
a club in Aberdeenshire, Scotland, the
following paper was read by member:
The feeding of horses is an important
point in their management. Many have
erroneous notions, that the more grain
their horses get. the htter they must be,
and instances are not unco mmon where
more than six bushels of grain a week
are given to a single pair. Too much
grain inlisposes horses for eating other
provender, and occasionally subjects
them to serious diseases. Four bushels
of good, sound oats weekly, with few
Swedish turnips or other roots, and
plenty of good straw, will keep pair of
healthy farm horses in good order through
winter. even though they be pretty hard
wrought. If. then, such an allowance
be sufficient for a pair, it is folly and
waste to give them more. Hay may
have to be substituted for straw, but no
more corn will be necessary to sustain
them, even when they have to go "their
ten hours" in the busy spring season.
Some horses are nice feeders, and need
to be coaxed to eat. A careful horseman
will keep his eye on such. and will, by
giving small and ottrepeated handfuls,
constrain them to eat enough to keep
themselves in good order; whereas a
careless one, by inattention, would soon
let them be run down to skin and bone.
Horses that are greedy feeders, or that
sv,llow their corn whole, should have
it bruise1 or ground. A little chat
mixed with grain helps to make horses
chew it-and we'll chewed is of more
Importance than many think. Unless it
be well ground and mixed with saliva in
their mouths, it is but imperfectly d.
gested in their stomachs, and without
perfect digestion there its full benefit is
not obtained. A full drink of water i'm |
mediately after being ted should never
be allowed to horses. When water is
drank by them the bulk of it goes d.
rectly to their large intestines, and lit
tie of it is retained in their stomachs.
In passing through them however, the
wster carries considerable quantities of
their contents where it lodges in the in
testines. If, then, the contents of horses
stomachs are washed out of them before
they are digessed, they are in manner
lost, NJ nourishment being derived from
them. Coles to horses frequently arise
from this cause, and to it the appearance
of corn entire among the dung is often
due.

A correspondent of the Indiana Earme,

A correspondent of the Indiana Farmer
says: "Did any of your readers ever
think of the amount of travel it takes to
raise crop of corn? I had a twenty
acre field. 40 by 80 rods. To break this
up would take 166 miles; narrowing it
about 40 miles; furrowing out. 80 miles !;
planting. 45 miles; if with a planter,
and if dropped and then covered, 80
miles, or five plowings, $50 miles. Thus
you see it takes about 800, or 900 miles
of travel to raise twenty acres of corn,
not counting going to or returning from
the field. Besides. there is replauting,
rolling, ETC."
