Hints to Wheat Growers


The following extract has many USE
full suggestions in regard to the treat
ment OF the wheat crop: Let be fully
ripe before cuttiug: follow Immediate
ly behind the reaper, bind and tie, and
put up in well arranged, compact
shocks of from twelve TO fourteen
bundles, and let 1T be well and strongly
capped. la tolerably fair weather in
about fourteen or fifteen days it will
be ready for the thresher and cleaner.
Let it be well dried before delivering
to the miller; ii is far better both for
him and the farmers. a merchandise
bushel of wheat, well cleaned and
dried, weighs sixty pounds. Wheat
should never be allowed TO remain on
the ground any length of time after
cutting, especially if the sun is shin
ing bright and warm. All moisture
is soon driven from the wheat, and an
immediate absorption of noxious and
deleterious gases and vapors from the
earth begins, and there is process OF
eradication. A few hours delay may
ruin or faint cne's whole crop. The
farmer should always avoid this error.
II it is desired to keep or garner the
the wheat any length of time, common
salt should be freely used, putting it
at fha hoffonn of fhe him or garner and
sprinkling it along at intervals from
bottom to top. 1t keeps the grain
sound and dry, and is sure remedy
against the bug or weevil.

Are We Patrons or Changers.

We often hear the term Granger
used by prominent members of our
Order TO designate a Patron of Hus-
bandry. Many use the term thought
lessly: but recently we noticed that
some one has started paper, which
pretends to be an advocate of the prin-
ciples of the Order, and calls it The
Granger. Now, we enter our solemn
protest against this name. The name
means nothing, and our enemies use it
as term of ridicule or reproach. We
have often thought that we would re-
mind Patrons that unless they want
this name fixed upon us, they should
never allow it to pass their lips. We
meet in the grange room, but that is
no reason why we should be called
"Grangers." Let us not assist those
who are unfriendly to us, to fasten the
name upon us.

1.et.ar from E. R. snankland.

| EDITORS RURAL WORLD: The sub
committee of the National Executive
Committee, who are to prepare and
present a system Of business co-opera-
ton Cat the October meeting) for the
members of the order, are visiting and
critically examining the methods by
which the cooperative stores in the
different States are conducted. Among
the most successful Of these that we
have visited is the cooperative store
located at Sedalia, Missouri. Under
the efficient management of l.. Allen,
manager, order and system are appar-
ent throughout The entire establish
ment, and his clerical force are always
busy, when not waiting on customers,
in arranging and busting goods, con-
sequently the goods have a fresh APP
pearance, aud the store has clean,
bright and inviting lock.
The only defect noticed is, that the
store is only cooperative in namo and
not in fact. The profits are divided
only with the stockholders, some Of
whom are members Of the Grange, but
the majority of them are not. Nom
shareholders, who constitute the
largest proportion of its customers, do
not share in its dividends. This de-
feet removed, the store will do the
largest business of any store, in the
same line, in the State.
| enclose you the last quarterly state
ment of the manager, in which you
will notice that he says that he has all
the money he can use in the business,
and consequently there are no shares
for sale.
There is another so-called co-opera-
tive store here, doing large trade, but
owing to some defect in the organiza-
ton, it has not capital sufficient For
its business 4; but Mr.. Nichols, the earn
est and jealous manager, is working
hard to make the enterprise a success.
A uniform system of cooperation is
what is needed; and trust we shall
be enabled TO report such a one, to the
of our order at an early day.

Let the Babies Dig in the Dirt.

We once asked an old Winnebago
squaw how il was she cured her sick
family, by simply covering them every
day with fresh earth, and she said :
''Earth, our mother earth earth makes
she, and earth takes good care to make
the papoose strong; squaw make she
papoosc sick earth mother make the
papeese well again she can't tell white
squaw any more" Now, this poor
Indian woman was wise according to
her light. Without knowing why, she
saw that the earth was friend to her
children, and, therefore gave them to
this healing embrace. If the mother
be fortunate enough TO live an the
country, she has the cure for many of
her children's ills quite at hand. En-
courage baby to play in fresh earth,
preparing it properly for its enjoy
ment and cure, with as careful an eye
to the comfort of the little thing as
you would if it were 10 take any other
sort of bath. If it has nc old dresses
make it suit of cheap print, tie upon
its head light hat that will protect
its eyes from discomfort, and give it
freedom to delve in the warm, soft
earth, where the sunshine can comfort
and invigorate it. IL it is city child,
and circumstances forbid trip to the
country for the sake of the GONZALES
cent, have sand heap made on the
warm side of your yard. Instinct will
teach it to dig, and digging hardens
the muscles and brings strength to the
bones, while from the heart of the
earth rises subtle and strong power of
healing, that we can neither explain
nor understand, though we have both
seen and felt its potency.-Ihe Metro

Start a business agency or store fol
sale of implements, ETC., at low prices
to farmers, and all dealers in the
country bring their prices down to
compete. Instantly every resident in
the locality wants to know "of what
use is the cooperative store or agency,
since he can buy just as cheap else
where % The cause Of the depression
in prices is forgotten until the co-ope-
rative store dies for want of patronage,

bered very distinctly.

Cooperation and Protection.

4 movement is now in progress in
this country which is destined to prove
the ruin OF protectionism. II is
known that the western Patrons and
the English cooperative societies have
entered into an alliance, offensive and
defensive, for dispensing with middle
men, and exchanging their respective
produce in kind, The Patrons for in
stance, will send the Rochdale aad
other associations orders for thous-
and blankets, thousand spades and
shovels, and for cotton cloth and vari-
Gus kinds of goods that can be obtained
so much cheaper in England. At the
same time the Patrons will ship
enough corn and other produce to pay
for the goods. But on the arrival OF
the English goods in New York the
Patrons will obtain a closer insight
than ever before into the mysteries of
our tariff. They will be met by de-
mand on the part Of the custom house
officials for say $4,000 in gold for pay
ment of duties. We can imagine the
nature of the discussion that will TAX
place in the various oranges when they
are called on to pay their respective
quota of duties. II our benefcent
tariff long survives the results of these
discussions, we greatly mistake the
good sense of American farmers. In
fact it win be Schulze nelitzch move
ment on more extended sphere. The
free Interchange of commodities is fast
becoming one of the necessities of the
times, and all the casuistry Of protec-
tionism cannot long impede the result.

One thing Patrons have to learn is TO
be more secret in their business opera
tons. You never see n successful bust
ness man run around, telling every
where what he is doing. if he should
some one else would be in ahead OF
him and defeat his plans and purposes.
If you see Patron standing on the
street corners. blowing about what the
grange is now doing and what it con-
templates doing, just quietly remind
him that if he understood the first
principles of our Order, he would keep
his mouth shut. Keep your own coun-
sci, brethren, and we are safe.

If the farmers find that they cannot
probably run cooperative stores, they
will in all probability quit the business.
If they find they are not qualified to
attend to store-keeping, either want
ing time or proper drilling in the bust
ness, it will not be infringing if they
embark their capital in some other en-
terprise. If they discover that ii is
difficult to hire judicious and reliable
talent to manage these "outside" mat
tiers, it is likely they viii cease to play
the part of merchants. If they find on
the other hand, that it pays. they viii
continue store-keeping until they get
tired up. Yet, in all these, it bothers
the American Patron 10 see how they
are in any manner interfering with
