Has Your Grange a Library 2

Each Grange should promptly COM
mence to get together, in some way, d
library. Those who have no books at
home suitable to be contributed, could
contribute a small amount of money,
and thus book fund would be
amassed. One of the best and most
reliable means to adopt by which to
insure a good attendance at each ses-
sion is to have ii known among the
members that each can get an interest
ing book to take home and read. This
viii induce many to attend, especially
the young.
There are many enterprising book
dealers in our large cities who can on
short notice ill orders for grange libra
ries at reduced prices. We plead for
the establishment of these foci of in
telligcnce. Let those who can spare
the money, literally contribute to buy
standard works for the use of the
membership. When this is done, and
grangers generally have their own
halls, we may expect TO see realized
some of the blessed fruits of this no.
BILE brotherhood Concerts and fairs
might be held to raise funds in behalf
of this interest. Let the devoted and
enierprising male and female members
adopt some plan to raise ample funds
to have in their respective oranges, a
first-class choice circulating library.
1t will not only be a source of strength
but an element of real pleasure in each
organization.-.South AgricalturtSt.

The Outlook.

Thousands of bushels of wheat are
brought to this market every day and
marketed The wheat crop of South
western Kansas is simply immense.
Business is livening up in Wichita and
the towns in this part of the State.
Farmers have put off forever the long
faces they assumed last fall, and are
happy. A greater area Of wheat will
be sown this fall than ever before.
If anything has been conclusively es-
tablished it is that wheat can be sue
cessfully and probably grown in the
Arkansas Valley.
The yield of corn, this year, viii also
be very heavy. The number of acres
planted was never greater, and in the
six years that we have been in this
part of the State, we have not had
such favorable season, for all kinds
of crops. as we have had the present
one. Ii is now beginning to exercise
our people to know what to do with
our surplus corn. If we are wise we
will make preparations TO turn it into
beef and pork. By this means, and
this alone. we can reduce the freights
on cur surplus products. No man can
more than make a bare living selling
his grain in the raw. If he is shiftless
enough to persist in it, he must remain
poor, and he deserves nothing better.
But we think better things of our
farmers. Every year we are becoming
more and more convinced that, to make
it profitable, farming and stock raising
must be combined. All must come to
this opinion sooner. or later, and the
sooner they do, and begin to act as
though they did really and truly be-
lieve it, the better for them. We have
MANY such farmers here now, but we
need more of them, and we believe our
abundant crops this year will encour-
age Just such men to come among us.
There is not better place in the west
for men of means to establish them
selves in the farming and stock raising
business than this. To all such we bid
a cordial welcome. Upon the whole,
we think the future looks bright and
our people are hopeful and confident.

Drilling VS.. Broadcast Seeding.

The Department of Agriculture thus
summarizes the facts received from its
correspondents relative to drilling or
broadcasting seed wheat:
l. Fifty-two per cent. of the winter
wheat and thirty per cent. of the
spring wheat, or about forty per cent.
of the aggregate of both kinds, repre-
sent the proportion seeded with q
drill.
2. Nine-tenths of the testimony given
asserts the superiority of the drill for
winter wheat.
8. An average increase of one-tenth
in the yield is assured by the use of
the drill.
4. A large majority of observers de-
clare that in most soils in which injury
resulting from frost is liable to occur,
drilling prevents or reduces the loss.
5. The majority assert that in certain
clay soils with rolling surfaces, some
advantage accrues in surface draining
by use of the drill; while in some
heavy soils with fiat surfaces, the wa
ter freezing in the drill furrow does
positive injury.
6. The broadcast seeder predomi-
mates in spring wheat regions, because
better adapted than the drill to seed
ing in unplowed corn fields. on rough
surfaces, and in weedy fields.
z. About one-seventh Of the seed
wheat Tor 100000 bushels for the
CROP might be saved by the exclusive
use of the drill.
s. The drill is used for seeding in
connection with thorough culture,
more especially in winter wheat grow
ing: the broadcas. seeder for imper-
feet culture and rough surfaces, and
sowing by hand is the method adopted
for small patches and first efforts of
impecunious pioneers.

Grasshoppers VS.. Blackbirds.

While the migratingn hopper COM
mitted such devastation west OF us, I'VE
here at Button have the manor-born,
in immense numbers. A patch of po-
tatoes and some sweet corn seemed in
danger of being consumed, when
flock of purple grackles, our crow
blackbird as it is usually called, came
to our rescue. The few days that they
have visited the patch has thinned out
the hoppers amazingly. never before
noticed that this bird was so useful in
this respect, and as they are plenty we
may expect to be rid of the big grey
fellows (hoppers). They are more
than twice the sizo Of the Colorado
hopper, and are nearly as bad on
crop when plenty. What saved our
little crop from utter destruction, was
all open field Of land thickly covered
with wild chamomile, upon which
they fairly swarmed. On this we saw
them as the Colorados in Sedalia or
Warrensburg.-Rur World.

The Grange is worth to-day almost
as much to the agriculturists OF the
country as the common school. 1t Is,
in fact, the only primary school we
have which is devoted to agricultural
education. 1t is there where our sons
and daughters are first taught the i'm
portance of agricultural instruction;
il is there where they are taught TO
love and take pride in their calling !;
it is there where they are made to sec
possibilities in agricultural industry
which past generations have never
dreamed of, and it is from thence that
an influence is TO go out which in few
years will ill up our agricultural col
leges with young men and young la
dies, too, with class of students that
will not turn their backs on the farm
or seek other professions because of
their supposed higher responsibility or
utility.-Pacifc Rural Press.

One practical work that the Oranges
of our State may do is, to furnish
thoroughly reliable information con-
corning their localities. Take, for in
stance, a county; let each subordinate
Grange furnish the county Grange a
tabulated statement of the soil in Its
jurisdiction, the per cent. of land UNI
der cultivation, prices of improved
and unimproved lands, farms for sale,
crops grown, their yield and value,
water power, church and school facili-
ties, etc. Such information would be
of great benefit to the owners of the
lands, and to the immigrants seeking
homes in our State-Farnaers' Miss.

Usury Worse than Grasshoppers.

Usury Worse than Grasshoppers.
One Of the most gigantic wrongs to
which our people tamely submit is the
paving of high interest. | will not ar
que now, as | believe that interest Is
robbery-getting something for moth
ing-but will only reiterate the old
story, that when the average increase
of the wealth of the country is about
two per cent. and the average interest
paid for money about ten, interest eats
up the principle i'll about every ten
wears. and then of course the capital
gamblers rake in everything, and we
all start off agaln-most of us empty
handed-for the old stupid round.
Look at it. This is July, and this
month from fifty to sixty million dol
lars will be paid into the hands Of the
rich men of Wall street by the
poor men of the whole country as
semi-annual interest and dividends.
So the rich take their plumber (some-
thing for nothing) and go to spend 1t
at the watering places, and in Europe,
while a million poor men and women
are out of work and penniless, having
lad no fair share, when they did work,
of the profits of their industry.
