POETRY.
"WHEN YOU ARE DOWN."

What legions of friends always bless us
When golden success lights our way!
How they smile as they softly address us.
So cordial, good natured and gay
But, oh, when the sun Of prosperity
Has set, then how quickly they frown
And cry out in tones OF severity,
Kick the man--don't you see he is down!
What though, when you knew not sorrow
Your heart was as open as day,
And your friends, when they wanted t.
borrow,
You'd oblige, and meier ask them to pay?
What though not soul you e'er sighted
As you wandered about through the town.
Your friends become very near-sighted,
Ard don't seem to know you when down.
When you're up you are loudly exalted,
And traders all sing out your praise;
When down you have greatly defaulted, ;,
And they really "don't fancy your ways;
Your style was tip-top when you'd money,
So sings every sucker and clown,
But now, tits exceedingly funny
Things are altered "because you are down.
O give me the heart that forever
Is free from the worlds selfish rust,
And the soul whose high, noble endeavOr
Is to raise fallen men from the dust;
And when in adversity's ocean,
A victim is likely to drown,
All hail to the friends whose devotion
Will lift up the man when he's "down."

miserable that when spider caught one
OF them in his s'parlor" he Immediately
kicked it out as unfit to eat. Wherever
filth existed, evolving germs that might
generate disease, there Mr.. Emerson
observed that the flies were most attract
ed, and there they covered themselves
with the minute organisms which they
greedily devoured. From this can be
deduced the conclusion that, while the
mission of house-f1ies is one of immense
Importance to man. their presence in i'm
mense numbers, while it indicates un-
healthy exhalations, also guarantees
immunity from disease to some extent.
Of course, the house-fy which has a
penchant for bald heads. and lights on
the skin only to puncture it and draw
blood, is not taken into account. Such
flies should not receive any credit, even
if they deservedit.

STATISTICS OF FARNs.-In the United
States are two million and nearly six
hundred and sixty thousand farms. The
number of acres and under 10 is l72,-

average of the Western States above

from these figures. approximately. that

THE ORDER IN CANADA.-Scarcely
two years have elapsed since this Order
was introduced into Canada. From that
time the movement has spread like att
dial wave from one end Of the Dominion
to the othor. The rapid and astounding
growth of this movement and the re-
markable success which has attended
every step o. the Order. has made it the
object Of close and anxious scrutiny
by all classes. Dealing, as it does, with
the agricultural population, with the i'm
mense power and strength they may
exert as compact body to accomplish
any desired object it is a natural desire
to know whether this powerful element
is to exert its influence for good or evil
in our public affairs; whether it is to
work for the general good of the country,
or simply see for the advancement of its
own interest without any regard to the
welfare of other classes and national
prosperity. People who laughed at the
movement whel it was introduced two
years ago, are now compelled to ac-
knowledge that the grangers in Canada
at present are a power that no polite Ii
party dare to ignore.

THE MISSION OF THE HousE.FlY.

The fly, when it alights, rubs its hind
legs together; then each hind leg is
passed over wing then the same OPP
GRAFTON is performed with the fore-legs,
and then, if yeu will observe closely,
you will see Mr.. Fly pass his trunk or
proboscis over his legs and about his
body as far as he can reach. The trunk
terminates in two large lobes, which
spread out when the insect begins
meal. and is capable of being drawn back
rapidly; but though thus constituted,
it is not fitted for licking, but simply for
grasping and drawing up food. What
the fly does by flying around and then
alighting and going through the ma
nGuvres described has at length been
successfully investigated and decided by
an English chemist named Emerson,
who carried out his work by the aid of a
powerful microscope. He relates that
when he first conceived the idea of max
ing the investigation he captured fine
specimen and glued his wings down to
a microscope slide. On placing the
slide under the microscope he found to
his disgust that the fly appeared to lie
covered with vermin. He tried several
others, which were likewise covered with
lice, and this singular coincidence led
him to a still further investigation. Why
were the flies thus afflicted, or was it an
affliction9 Watching one of the flies

served the creature extend its proboscis
and sweep it over his body as if it had
just alighted. Wherever the lice were
the trunk went; they were disappearing
within its recesses the fly was &C. uallv
eating them! AT first he thought this
vermin the fiy's progeny, but further in
vestigation disproved this. Mr.. Emer
son took a piece of white paper, on
which two flies had lighted and were
licking themselves, and putting it under
the instrument found some Of the little
creatures had fallen off-crumbs from the
table, 50 to speak. He then took the
paper, went into the kitchen and waving
it around his head, taking care that no
fire touched it during the operation, went
back to the microscope and there found
animalcules the same as those found on
the flies. Here he had something def
mite. They were not the progeny of the
fly, but animalcul0s floating in the air.
The body of the fly is covered with
coarse, long hair, and its quick motions
serve to take them up, as the hairy
mouth Of the whale takes up the animal
cules of the sea- When he gets the net
full the fly retires to his favorite recess
on the window-sill, or in quiet corner,
and proceeds to devour his feast Of soft
shell crabs Mr.. Emerson continued his
investigations in variety of places, and
the more dirty and filthy the place and
the more fetid the odor peryading it.
the richer the harvest he found the flies
had made in the animalcula line. While
the flies captured in SUCH filthy places
were usually fat, and plethoric. and hap

TAXATION ON FARMERS.

At the rate every farmer who raises
anything to transport is taxed, he paws
a direct tax, over and above reasonable
transportation rates, Of 81 cents per
bushel to these trimvirate kings, Van
derbbilt, Scott and Garrett, the com5in-
ed autocrafs This power to tax at will

more despotic than the act of any crown
ed head in the world. In fact there is
no government. No matter how despotic.
that could tax its subjects 81 cents per
bushel on wheat, ami other products in
proportion. and survive the attempt.
Yet these autocrats can do it at their will
and hold the tiller of the soil as their
vassals. and this is a tree country; a Lit.
tie too free. and it is al hgether unbearale
and outrage Gus.
The farmer who has 1000 bushels of
wheat to sell will pay as a bonus to the
three kings $4,000. Most of our farm
eri in this county will pay as much as $500
tax in this way. Assuming there are
1000 farmers in this county and they
pay on an average $500 each. the aggre-
gate amount paid by Marshall county
farmers to the three kings as bonus
on their products for the years amount
to the enormous sum Of 100000. The
tax we will pay in this way on what little
farming We do, will amount to $500,
and VS. feel like it is the worst kind of
extortion. and anything but what ought
to be permitted under any kind of gov
erment. 1t is certainly an assumption OF
power under the form of law that is con-
trary to the genius of our institutions.
and ought to be corrected at once. No
monopoly ought to have the right to tax
the people at their will and establish a
monied aristocracy, little less tyrannical
and lordly than the royal dignitaries of
an empire. As we have a national gov
erment the productive interests OF tie
country should unite in demanding such
legislation as will protect them from the
merciless rapacity of soulless monopo-
hes. To insure such Legislation, farmers,
who have vital interest in snch legisla-
ton should be sent to congress-men

FARM AND GRANGE

CORN-We have more than once
given as our opinion that the present corn
crop will not lorg remain at present low
prices. The evidence is increasing every
day, that corn will reach better figure
than now supposed by many. The short
wheat crop, the high prlce OF hogs, and
the probable great foreign demand
are some OF the reasons we assign for
better prices in the future.

A correspondent OF the Augusta, ia,
Sentinel, says he learned from u farmer
in that state that the grange was sue
cess, but as business arrangement they
were going beyond their sphere; he
could buy cheaper from others, frequent
ly, than from the grange agent. Now
that sounds like the same old grunt under
a wool covering. A great many men
are selling lower than the grange agent,
but they have a purpose in view; they
were never known to sell so low before
the grange agencies were established.
Poor WHEAT quality OF wheat
now coming into the Chicago market Is
poorer than the average OF past years,
and Judging by the receipts thus tar not
more than % per cent. OF The entire crop
of the northwest will be of the standard
grade of No 2. The quantities OF the
higher grades will be less than i'll former
years, while the per ceniage OF grades
below No. 9 will be considerably larger.
This seems to be the case with wheat in
all parts OF the world this year Thus

The Pleasonton (Texas) Stock Journal
referriu y to the cost of cattle raising, says
that Texas stock costs but little to raise
in comparison with stock raising in other
states. The calves have to be marked
and branded. OF course, but the trouble
is then over till the owner goes to gather
the herd for market. Branding is 80
cents. gathering 81. and herJing is S1to5

any one can see that it costs nominal
as the cost of raising here to what it
costs in other states, and hence it is that
Texas cattle find their way to the various
leading markets of the L. s and great
many are now finding market in Eng
