A Good Word for the Black Birds.

A farmer writes from Woods Hole
10 the Boston Adcertiser:
A few days ago, as the barley in my
fields was ripening, the blackbirds be-
gran to gather about it, and my farmer
began to anathematize them as thieves
and robbers, feeding upon what they
did not sow. "Why, they come" said
he sin clouds from Naushon, and all
about u.s." Notwithstanding, | told
him was satisfied they did more good
than harm, and that they were well
come to their share. The harvest be-
gan, and as the mowers reached the
the middle of the field they found the
stalks of the grain very much stripped
and cut by the army worm. When
the barley was down they began TO
march out of the field in compact
stream through the barway into the
next one, and here we saw clearly
what the blackbirds were after. They
pounced upon them and 1evoured
them by thousands, very materially
lessening their numbers. The worms
are so numerous that they have not
destroyed them all, but have materi-
ally lessened them and their power OF
mischief. All honor, then, to the
black birds, which are usually counted
mischievous, and are destroyed by
farmers like vcrmin. These army
worms have returned after an inter-
val Of eight or ten years.-Er.

The Lecturer is generally esteemed
the brains in our Order. At any rate
he who is elected TO fill such high po-
sition should be competent to edify his
Grange on topics of interest TO its
membership. He should fix a pro-
gramme of instruction, having agri-
culture, literature. and other subj ects
of importance as the basis of his inter-
esting work. 1t is with him TO make
a drag of each session or success OF
it.
Let him deal with essential, practi-
cal facts in relation to farming, and
have the members follow, relating their
experiences, methods, and the results
of their labor. This habit of timely
interchange Of views will develop a
high order of membership, give life to
the social element, obliterate differ
ences, give breadth and depth to the
views of individual members, and pre-
pare them 10 appreciate fully the bless
ings inherent in this brotherhood. No
other movement has ever been inau-
gurated so capable as that of the Pa
irons to dignity agricultural labor.
Aud to no officer in the whole staff of
Grange officers is entrusted to great
err extent the intellectual Improvement
and general success of the Order than
the Worthy Lecturer.

influence of the Money Power

A writer in The People gives scath-
ing article of some two columns, in
reference to the evils that have been
brought upon us by legislation, in ia
vor of capital instead of favoring the
people. In speaking of the necessity
of raising money to meet the expenses
of the war, he says:
''The first impulse was to borrow
from the people through the medium
of legal tender paper currency, based
upon the wealth and faith of the
nation. This plan, however, was de-
feated by the influence of the money
dealers, and a debt of more than three
thousand millions was created, which
was represented by bonds, at various
rates of interest, and which were sold
in the markets of the world, at an av-
erage discount of over forty per cent.
This was not enough and the national
banking system was projeeted-which
put the circulating medium of the
DcODlt III INT VI tiO
paying them the interest on the bonds
that represented their capital, and en-
aiding them to compel the people to
pay them for the use OF their (tle
peoples own credit; thus creating a
money monopoly, SO aggressive and
powerful as to color the whole of the
legislation that has followed.
The evils flowing from this course
have been of many kinds. In the first
place, the country was saddied with
an interest bearing debt of more than
three thousand millions, of which it
| did not receive more than eight hun
dred millions. 1t has been paying
interest on, and gradually liquidating
that debt ever since, dollar for dollar
until, if the last dollar were paid
tomorrow, and interest stopped, the
cost to the people would have been
over six thousand millions for the use
of eighteen hundred milliens.-Er.

Planting.

As the autumn is at hand, and SO
many trees dead, and need replacing,
many persons are anxiously casting
about for the best method Of securing
a thrifty orchard in the least space OF
time, and this brings up the question
of the best time of planting. ''ln the
multitude OF counsel there is WISDOM"
may have been absolutely true in Sol
omou's time, and it is very probably
true to-day, but with many it is very
difficult to deduct from the yarions
conflicting statements of the Swans of
horticulture an ineligible instruction
to the beginner, that they might say,
s.this is the way, walk we in it."
Our own experience and observa-
ton with fall planting of fruit trees, is
anything but flattering. Our soil is
loose and porous, and the warm and
the generally dry autumns ofour State,
affect the vitality of the tree. Eyapo-
ration goes on from the twigs faster
than absorption by the roots, aud
hence the twigs, and often the larger
part of the body, dries up and dies, and
the tree planter is discouraged. As
proof of the truth of this, we notice
that grape vines planted in the fall,
will make sufficient wood to bear a
full crop at least one year sooner, as
an average, than if planted the follow
ing spring. The reason is obvious.
If properly planted, there is not to ex-
coed one bud left above the ground,
hence the evaporation is not so rapid,
aad the buds do not die out. If it
were possible to thus protect our fruit
trees through the fall and winter, un-
til time for growth, fall planting
would be an advantage, but this is i'm
practicable, as it would cost too much.
Therefore, we would say, plant no
fruit trees in the autumn, in Kansas, at
least.
We know we are not speaking in
unison with many older heads, i'll the
foregoing, but speak our own convic-
tions and ask our readers to write us
their experience.
But do not put off buying your trees
until spring, for then you will be too
busy to go at the proper time to get
them; and put out leaves late, feeble
growth is made. the winter Injuries.
and the following July or August the
tree dies. Buy your trees in autumn,
and bury in dry place during winter,
and plant just as soon III the spring as
the soil is dry enough.
We would be pleased to receive
communications from practical men,
giving their experience in planting
| Spirit.

How to Extinguish Lamps with
Chimneys.

A correspondent of the English Ne
chanic says: "Turn the flame up to full
power, then blow a sharp puff hori-
zontally across the top of the funnel,
when the light will not only be cxtin-
guished, but there will be no after
smoke-the formerly ignited wick will
be extiuguished by its own carbonic
acid gas. On leaving my Office at night
| thus turn up the flaming wick, and,
with grateful gladncss that the desk
labors of the day land night are over,
give side wave of the hat past the
chimney, which draws up the flame
from contact with the wick, and the
light is gone, and with no after-smell.
This cannot be too widely circulated, las
read in the Times the other day that
lady lost her life by blowing down the
and thus causing an explo-
sion."

The Herd Law.

We wonder whether the farmers of
Scdgwick county are aware of the fact
that the herd law is not in force in this
county. All that is necessary to put
it in force is to have one or two hum
dred names upon the petition asking
that 1t be put in force by our county
commissioners. We hope the farmers
Of the county win take hold of this
matter and circulate the petitions.
This county cannot get along without
the herd law. Hundreds of men have
settled here, believing that this law
was in force. 1t would not take much
work 10 get the names and we hope
that every one will do what he can to-
ward securing them.

Travelling Tree Peddlers.

They are coming around about this
time, and it may be as well for our
readers to understand that no reliable
nursery, so far as we know, employ
agents to canvass for them. They
wholesale to great many to sell again,
but this is done usually to local agents
who supply their own neighborhoods
where they are known. These timer
ant tree peddlers, representing distant
nurseries, and taking orders premis-
cuously through the country, wherever
they can get them, are to be regarded
with suspicion. 1t is not safe to buy
of them, as we know from personal ex-
perience. We bought lot of trees of
one of them, a good many years ago,
only one of which grew, and that was
not true 10 name. 1t is no small mat
ter to set out an orchard, carefully cul-
tivate it for years until it bears, and
then discover that you have worth
less lot of fruit. A friend of ours
near Wakeman, Ohio, had just such
experience as this. If there is no re-
sponsible local agent in your neighbor-
hood, order your trees from the near
est good nursery, direct, or what is
better, go and get them yourself if the
nursery is near enough. There is no
risk to run if you do this, as all the
leading nurserymen of the country, as
a general thing, are responsible and
honorable men, who will furnish just
what they agree to. If you are pres
ent when the trees are taken up, you
may secure better roots and more care
full work, perhaps, as some workmen
are very careless in these matters. The
sooner trees are planted after being
taken up, the better, and hence the
ground should be already for their re-
ception when they arrive.-Ec.

MANIToMoC. Aug. 9. 1S7E


One of the great needs of our city at
present is Board of Trade. VIII not
our enterprising merchants and business
men give this subject their serions con-
slderation, and take the necessary steps
for the establishment of such an institu-
ton? 1t has come to such a pass, that
almost every person doing business has
price of his own, and none of them
agree, while the farmer, who has an
article to sell, has his price always more
than he is offered in the market. AS
for instance, maple sugar is quoted in
Chicago at cents per Id, while the
price asked by our farmers is 10 cents,
OF course in such cases it is for cheaper to
buy sugar in Chicago. Another reason
why we want Board Trade is to grade
the price of butter. The man who brings
into. market poor article of butter, ex-
poets to receive as much as he who offers
prime article, and thus we might go
on to enumerate without limit. This
week we publish a local market, but
cannot vouch for its correctness and
therefore give it for what it is worth.
Now with Board of Trade, all things
could be so managed that Justice could
be done to both the producer and the
consumer. Lets us have a Board of
Trade. x

MAPLE GRovE.-In taking retro
specuve view of the vicissitudes which
have attended the crop from the first to
the last stage of its development during
the year 1875, one cannot help noting
the influence consequent to each sue
ceeding change that is brought to bear
as natural sequence on the minds of
the ever much expectant agriculturist;
and as it is a well known fact that this
fuctuation of the mind emanating from
the same source, is not alone experience
ed by the farming class, but insinuates
itself into the bosom, I might say, to
certain extent, Of almost every family in
the land whether denizens of the city or
country. Of course the farmers being
Immediately connected Herewith are
more deeply and directly interested;
hence it is that they are more deeply af-
fected. Many who are unfortunate
as to having heavy outstanding debts,
the very thoughts of which. SO frequent
" looming up before their vision like
the great hammer of thor, ever ready to
fall regardless of the pain it gives. In
fact it is difficult at best for poor human
nature to feel placid under such trying
ordeal. Taking the present year as an
Illustration, since the sowing period,
which commenced with q cold late
spring, then the various insect pests,
wind, storms. rust and last but not least
the late spell of dry weather, all in them
selves have exerted deleterious in
fiuence to the perfecting of the crop
from which so much is expected.
There is an individual in this town
who visits his neighbors' smoke-houses,
q1ite often. Twice he has been caught
in the act .of stealing meat therefrom,
and each time requested to return it
(being followed into his house, which he
did without the least hesitation, excusing
himself by saying he was led to do SO
through the agency of liquor. Some of
his neighbors thinking that too thin an
excuse, as guaranty to secure them per-
manently from his nightly peregrina-
lions, concluded to inform him, that
should, be caught around their premises
at night they would present him with
dose of sobriety composed of the con-
tents of double barreled shot gun.
Nothing has been missed since.
