The CHANGERS AND FREE Trade

ment we had high hopes for the useful
ness Of the organization IN exposing
the extortions practiced on farmers BY
the Protectionists OF the North. The
Patrons of Hnsbandry have, in our
judgment. devoted too much time to
fighting country merchants, and too
little time to graphing with the Protec-
tionists who are ruling the tillers OF the
soil with rod OF iron. 1t is, however,
evident that our Granger friends are
opening their eyes to the inquiries OF
the protective tariffs, and that the cause
of free trade will, ere long, receive pow
erful aid from the great union of farm
ers. Upon this subject we ask the
Changers OF Virginia to ''read, mark,

Don't Mortgage the Farm.

Keep your homestead free from mort
gage No matter how promising the
speculation may be, how large return
the investment may offer, don't mort
gage your home to raise money. We
know of but one good cause for mort
gage on the omestead-hunger.
The rate of interest to be paid for
borrowed money, added to taxes and
then current expenses, will eat up the
best farm in Kansas. Hundreds of
homes throughout the west are passing
into the hands of strangers under fore
closure of mortgage. Money borrowed
three or five years ago, at twelve or
eighteen per cent interest on improved
lands worth at the time it was borrowed
three times the amount loaned could not.
in many cases, to-day be paid if the farm
was sold for it. Unexpected expenses,
losses OF crops, poor markets, and one
cause and another make the payment of
the principal almost an impossibility.
Money loaners may glibly tell how easy
it is to pay the interest and as times get
better, meet the principal. Thousands
and tens of thousands OF dollars released
from manufacturing enterprises of the
East. are now offered in every town OF
the West. Ii the contraction of the
currency continues. and we are to reach
specie resumption in 1879. the payment
of the mortgages made to-day will take
the farms upon which they are placed.
Shun the mortgage as you would con-
tagious disease. The Legislation of to-
day is in the hands of money, and all
tina, will guard, protect and make money
more valuable will be done. Better to
live in the homestead cabin. with the
clothes ragged, and the implements old
and worn. than to sign mortgage.
which after years of worry and suffering
causes the home TO 60 to the usurer.
Wait. ii prosperity comes, the mort
gage will not be needed, if it does not,
all the more reason for having the home
clear from debt. Mothers and fathers,
ii you want the home for the children
don't sign the mortgage.-kansas Far

ak to grind in that quarter. Not at all;
it is merely one of the auxiliaries that
go toward making up my great hobby
our native trees. ! notice latterly that
some of our horticultural journals are
saying something in praise of this tree,
and feel like thanking them for it. My
old specimen is a show during the
month of May, when covered with its
large, pale-red fragrant flowers; and
then again in the autumn it is especially
valuable on account OF its crop of sweet
scented, acknowledgment fruit. The lat
ter is excellent for preserving purposes,
although sour in the superlative degree
before cooking. 1t is becoming quite
rare in wild state, but, fortunately,
more than one wise nurseryman are
growing it for sale. CROPPIE.

Deserving the Farm.

Young men everywhere, who have
any force or aspiration are shying the
pillow, the shop, and handy crafts of all
kinds, and are crowding the already
congested shambles of law, physic,
divinity, or behind the counter, agency,
agent, superintendent drummer or
anything but good honest labor. The
robust laborers who have cleared the
forests, made the farms, and built up
our great industries, are passing away.
And they are being succeeded by swarms
of weak, witless, knavish pale faces, who
are ready to devour one another and the
land, like Pharaoh's lean kline, and call
their business trade. With hands too
delicate for labor, a fluent tongue licks
up living from honest productive in
dustry without scruple. Officials, poll
ticians, spectators and monopolists feed
upon the laborer. This flock of vul-
lures which prey upon labor must be got
rid of, their insatiate appetites stayed,
or all hope of reform will be vain.
If this vampyreism is not checked in
its increase, there will not be enough on
the globe to fill their ravenous maws.
They will have all the money places,
and natural resources, and Legislatures,
and Congress to protect them. Labor
pays all their bills; the fees of congress
men. lawyers. judges, and the swarms
of officials. Labor pays for the bread
they eat, the tobacco they smoke, the
grog they drink. Labor builds princely
houses, but covers in hut. Makes ell
egant furniture for them to Toll upon
but it must sit upon stool. Fabricates
the most elegant clothing, but goes in
rags. Creates the means of education
and culture, but remains ignorant and

A Good WAY to Kill Weeds.

resist we'll; but the Canada variety can
readily be kept under and killed out.
The same is true of the daisy and other
weeds. This. however. can be done
only on one condition. The clover must
be set very thick and uniform. The
way to do the thing effectually is to pre-
pare your land by blowing and harrow

spring-fan the best. Sow on the late

rowed very fine and made level; then
the seed brushed well in or narrowed in
with a light harrow. Sow no grain with
the clover. Plaster rs soon as the seed
has come up and shows green: one
bushel to the acre. Use 10 or u quarts
of good clover seed per acre; limo case

Sorghum and Fodder Corn.

The year the first few China sorghum
seeds. obtained at high price, were
planted in this region, read in the
Genesee Farmer a statement by DR..

wintered 80 cows in the District OF Col

much preferred corn blades. A work
horse regularly fed grain, would leave
any other TODD for sorghum stalk.
Colts were moderately fond OF the
stalks. Next year | got seed and plant

This in good season will answer, but
as the season cannot be foretold, it is
not rich, by all means apply a coat of
compost or well-rotted manure; spread
on evenly and harrow in; then sow the
seed, and follow with the brush. The
point is to geta good catch. If then
plaster be used and the soil is good and

weeds-keep them in the earth or in the
dense shade (of the clover), which is
nearly the same thing; and with win
ter at each end of the growing season,
the time will be too long for the weeds
to hold their breath; they will be smoth-
cred and die out, their remains making
manure.
Cut the clover when in blosso ON,
which will be the latter part of July OF

sowed with it; and Immediately plaster
again as before. This, with anything
like favorable weather, will at once start
the new crop and occupy the field again.

nure which such dense set of clover
