System in Farming.
American Patron. .

System is just as necessary in
farming as it is in bookkeeping or
any other business. IF farmer
would succeed, and who would not,
he must pursue some well-matured
plans, and follow them closely. He
must find out what his land is best
fitted for, and what means must be
employed to cultivate it; then go to
work in straightforward, business
manner. At the same time he must
know how much labor he can do in
certain time after he has allowed
for all drawbacks; he must leave as
little as possible to guesswork. Then
after this, comes the work whatever
it be, and this he must do with energy
and skill. He must not be slip-shod
now, but do his work well, and Gerry
well He has estimated the cost
let him work within the ascribed
limits. This also supposes that work
is to be done in its season; some
farmers are in such haste to beat
| their neighbors that they are always
in advance Of the season, and this
shows their lack of system, or rather
of Judgment. TO have work proper
ly planned it is to have it partly
done, for then it is done intclligently
and according to Il certain definite
plan, and SO comedies with all pre-
vious and all subsequent labor, and
then avoids undue hurry or excite
ment, which is detrimental to all in
telligent operations. 1t thus permits
the completion Of detail and conse-
quently no part is overweight and
no part is sighted System thus
avoids the numerous small lcakages
which run off with small and large
capitals. The man without system is
like Il composites ship an / his bus
mess Il constant series of mishaps.-
System on farm supposcs that
the seasons will follow their usual
rounds; that so much of spring
crop can be painted and well cultiva-
ted; that so much harvest can be
well taken care of; that SO many
acres can be properly MANFRED; that
so many head of each kind Of stock
can be well supported; that markets
are looked after i'll preparing the ar
ticles and selling them; that care is
exercised in stocking the farm, and
in the purchase of implements, and
that no detail is too small to be over
looked. 1t also supposcs economy,
but at the same time expects libclali-
ty where liberality is economy. In
short, system is the heart of mans
business; without it he may labor
hard and diligently and accomplish
nothing, with it he may risk great
odds. TO prolong spring work into
summer, summer work into fall, to
breed at random, to fly into the arms
of every new thcorist, to be led by
ones nelghborS, is to miserably fail.
Have place for everything and ev-
erything in its place; time for ev-
crything and everything in its season,
and let all be done according to some
we'll defined plan. In "a word, have
system.

The Crops and Prices.

Except the corn and meat crops
the years harvest has generally been
gathered, and we have an approx
matc!y correct idea of the result, and
the corn crop can now be estimated
with a good degree of accuracy
Taken rs whole, the result of the
years work in the West and North
west must be regarded as very salts
factory. Taking into full account
the losses by rains, by grasshoppers
and untimely frosts, losses which
bear heavily on certain localities, it
still remains true that the aggregate
yields Of the great staples will be
large, and. what is equal y important,
at least very fair prices are prom
ised.
The hog crop is light. Prices are
high. While we believe it good pol
icy to send the hogs to market as
soon as they are in the best condi-
ton, it seems mistake to forward so
large numbers of inferior and half
fatted hogs. Thus far choice hogs
have been in good demand. Corn is
worth Il good price but 1t will pay to
feed it until the hogs are in really
good condition for the market.
The cattle market seems in sin
gular condition. Receipts at Chicago
are very large, which is not surpris-
ing, but much the larger part Of the
cattle sent forward are Of poor quail
ty. These sell at low prices SO low
that it would seem no profit Gun be
afforded. With good grass in many
localities, abundant corn fodder and,
in many places, a prospect of consid-
cradle soft corn which must be fed
this fall, it would seem advisable tor
farmers to purchase some of these
stock cattle which are selling at low
prices. We expect good, although
probably not high prices for all good
beeres, after this glut of poor stock
is worked off
Prices tor grain still Huctuate some.

with certainty their future, but by
those who do not expect to hold their
crops until next spring the probable
effect of the closing Of water trans
portation and the usual advance in
freight rates is worth thinking about.
One year with another, we believe
the farmer who sells his crops con.
parativcly early realizes fully rs much
as he who practices the holding poll,
cy, and we see no reason for advising
q general holding back Of any crop
now.
We have no wisI, to paint rose
.olorcd pictures Ola prosperity which !
loes not exist, but, While mislortnncs
md failures have come to iH,lisidu- i,
Ills and to some localities, il certainly
IS true that the West, us Il whole, has
reason to be thankful tor general fair
crops and fair prices Western RI I

Millions of dollars are expended
annually in sustaining our National
Signal Service, for the benefit of com
merce; and doubtless millions of
property and thousands of lives are
saved thereby. The practical i'm
portance and value of the service is
now established beyond question.
Very well. And what next?
Why, extend this service to Il still
larger and equally important indus
try of our country of Agricult-
urc, on which even commerce itself,
as well as manufactures, art, science,
and every good thing of civilization,
all ultimately depend.
Good enough. But how in the
world can the Signal Service be
made of any practical utility to men
engaged in working their farms?
How can they know, except, several
days or weeks afterwards through
their newspapers, what "Old Proba-
bilities" foretold about the weather?
This is Il very natural and proper
question to ask; and in answer to it.,
we have plan to propose, and one
for which the Grange organization
through the Unltes States has ad-
mirably and providentially prepared
the way.
Suppose there was Il strong, wide
awake Grange in Nebraska on or
near the uuion Pacific Rail- Dad.
Every day the Signal Service "proba-
bilities" are telegraphed over that
line on their way from Washington
to san Francisco. Now this Grange
could erect signal tower on some
high point Of land where it could be
seen from every farm from radius
of ten or twelve miles. On this
tower would be placed an indicator,
which would exhibit signs in four or
six directions every morning, telling
what the weather would be for the
next twenty-four hours, thus:
Plain whitc-fair weather.
Plain black-dangerous storm.
Stripes ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS.
Stripes vertical-rain.
With one or two brass wheels, 4
pair OF magnets and 4 connecting
wire, these signals canl be:ldisplayed
in any way desired as easily by a
man 4 thousand miles away rs by
one only ten feet distant. And if
the Grange-any Orange in the
United States-would provide the
signal tower, machinery, and con
Meeting wire, it would not cost the
government one cent more per day
to send the agricultural weather sig
nails, even thousands of them, than it
now costs anyway to send the daily
''probabillties" over the telegraph
lines Of the country.
But suppose it did cost something
eNtra-would not few thousand
such signal stations for the benefit of
Agriculture be an entirely proper
thing for the government to attend
to: And if the National Grange
would take up some such scheme as
this and secure its adoption it would
be good deal better business than
recommending government subsidies
to Texas Pacific or any other rail
road
Brethren of the Agricultural press,
consider this matter, and let lis have
your views upon it. If the Signal
Service cannot be successfully en-
tended to serve Agricultural as well
as Commerce let us know the reason
why.
