We Must Educate.


This was the language of a great
statesman IN the early days of our Re-
public, before the experiment of free
government was fully worked ont. 1t
was very evident to his observing mind
that the success Of this untried form
Of government depended upon the in
telligence of the people, while they re-
manned in ignorance he foresaw that
they would be the easy prey of design
ing and unprncipled demagogues who
would gain their confidence by fair
promises and secure favor for their own
selfish ends.
The counsel is appropriate to these
times, and to the Order of Patrons of
Husbandry in particular. The Order
has grown with wonderful rapidity,
and has gained great strength in all the
western country. 1t is destined to ac-
compiish great good in this country,
and the intelligence of its membership,
or want of it, viii have much to do in
determining the course this immense
force will take. The great reforms the
Order has undertaken to make. require
thought and investigation. All histo-
ry and experience teach that success is
alone on the side of intelligence and
education. We do not mean that snowy
superficial, smattering education of
many of the schools, which turn out
mere theorists, but an education which
is practical, which by the aid of expe-
rience begcts habits of careful thought
an education gathered from the best
experience of the great and strong men
who have left their marks IN acts.
We should keep constantly in mind
that great reforms are not entirely ac-
complished in day. or year. 1t
takes patience, as well as careful
thought, to accomplish great ends. In
deed, the first thing to do always is, to
carefully ascertain just what is right,
and the next thing is to pursue that
way with steadincss Of purpose and
faith in the ultimate triumph of all
truth, that shall know no wavering.-
Indiana Farmer.

raised against the English sparrow,
which are accused OF all sorts of wrong
doings, but whose peccadilloes arc
nothing when set against their seryi-
ces. Most OF our readers can rcccol-
lect when every large city in the
country was so infested with step
worms or caterpillars, as to render the
streets almost impossible that were
shaded BY trees. Now they are scarcely
seen, the sparrows destroying eggs OF
the moth or butterfly almost as soon
as laid, their mycroscopical eyes en-
abling them to detect them in the
deepest creyices Of the bark. 1t is in
this way that most birds are such de-
stroyers of insects; they are passion
ately fond of eggs, and eagerly devour
them. They eat comparatively few
caterpillars or butterflies, but are fond
OF such larva or grubs as are found in
the soil; hence, frequent stirring or
hoeing the earth has the advantage,
among others, of exposing the Larvae
of any insects that are in ii to the birds.
In our own little garden we never
allow a bird, not even crow,t to be mo-
Tested, and we do all we can to cncour-
age them to visit us; and although we
are close to the city we are visited every
season By robins, cat birds, wood peck
ers, kingiishers, bobolinks, yellow birds.
cedar birds, wood doves, wrens, snow
birds, crows, sparrows and others, so
that there is scarcely caterpillar TO be
found OH the premises and but few
other insects. and these 10 no trouble
some extent. The birds seem to fully
understand that they are welcome, and
often amuse us with their apparent as
sertion of their rights OF proprietor
ship, amcng other things often driving
our palr of cats into the house or other
place of shelter, flying at their heads
or peckinfi at their eyes until the cats
are glad to retreat.
We therefore urge our plea on behalf
of the birds, for we feel certain that
ere long, if their present wicked de-
struction goes on, we shall be so
plagued with insects as 10 make the
cultivation of many crops, especially
fruits, almost impossible. The evil
will become so great as TO require leg
islative action to protect them, and will
have 10 appoint pathological commits
sions to re-stock the country, as we
now have fish commissions to re-stock
our streams with fish.-Harper'S Ba-

Joseph Harris, in american Agric&l-
turfst, says:
l have great faith in good farming.
Better farming would give us steadi-

if we raised better crops and fed out
more of our produce on the farm. il
would be a great National blessing.

Brains as Well as Ballots.

Farmers need cultivated brains as
well as doctors, lawyers, ministers,
merchants or men of any other calling.
Because they have not paid as much at
tention TO education or to reading,
speaking and writing, the other classes
have got the start of them, and are the
influential classes in the community.
1t is long lane that has no turns, and
it is now time that there should be a
turn in favor of the farmer. But he
must be prepared for it, and be quail
fed TO maintain his rights if he can Sc
cure them at all. All that he should
ask for is an equal chance with other
callings. He should labor to stop class
legislation and to remove such as al
ready exists-which has proved the
source of all his troubles, which has
made one section of the country rich
at the expense of the producing class
es. One class should have no right to
tax another, neither should one set of
men be exempt from taxation and force
the balance to pay the taxes that set of
men ought to pay. Equal privileges
to all, special favors to none, is the
farmers battle cry; and with that
they can win, if they have the intelli-
gencc, the firmness and the indepen-
dence to fight for what is right and just.
With unity of purpose that the men,
bers of other classes battle for their
interests, the farmers can succeed. But
they must prepare for the conflict.
They must read and write and talk.
The battle viii be fought with brains
as well as with ballots.-Er.

nestly wish that the Congressional
Committee, now at Vicksburg inves-
tigating the Warren county trou-

a visit and witness the antics and

We doubt if any member of that
Committee has ever seen the like,
and feel that it is only necessary
for them 10 witness the exhibitions
that daily Occur during the sitting
OF our Legislature, for them to be
fully and sensibiy impressed with
the idea that our Legislature is Il
