l ' would suggest that the committee appoint some
experienced person to examine into my accounts and
the state Of the property.
You win readily see that this communication is
not made in my own interest. since the disparage-
ment Of the property would only enable me TO lease
1t cheaper, if the recommendation Of the COMMITTEES
should be adopted and 7 should be a competitor for
the lease.
The representation is therefore made with the sole
desire that the public may have a correct idea Of the
state Of their property. An examination into the
business will show you that it is to be looked upon as
a whole, and that no one part can be singled out as
a profit and another as a loss.
The hotel was not erected for a bar room and a

Her consumption of coal averages As tons per day,
and in running the above 5000 miles she consumed
1897 tons. The cost of the coal alone, estimating it
to be $40 per ton, figures up a handsome sum, and
when we add the wages of say a hundred men, and
the expense for provisions, &C., it will be found that
it is a costly affair to run an ocean steamer on the
Australian line.

Propress Of Co-oreration.


The spirit of cooperation is con-
stantly OH the increase in America
The American Cooperative Union
Store, at Louisville, has proven sue
cess, and given satisfaction to the
stockholders and customers. The
Sovereigns Of Industry have given CO.
operative stores fair test and they
have placed many dollars in the peck
cts Of poor mechanics. There have
been organized in Kentucky many CO.
operative stores among the Oranges
and so far as our information reaches,
not one has vet failed to accomplish
the expected ends. There should be
a cooperative store in every neighbor-
hood where there are enough people
to sustain it.
Where a cooperative store is estab-
lished every man becomes his own
merchant, and If a woman makes ten
pounds of butter and sells it to the
store, the after profits of that butter
will proportionally return to her
pocket if she holds a share in the
store. The customers get their divi-
bends in proportion to their purchases
from the store, and the good effects
are realized by persons who may not
be stockholders. Cooperation will
become as popular in America as it is
how in Europe, saving millions to
those engaging in it, and always help
ing the poor.-Southern Agricultarist.

"Go WORK UPON A FARM. "

Will 5. Hays, the eminent southern son
writer and composer, has published 4 song
entitled go and Learn a Trade just q
this time, with factories closing up, and me
chanies begging for bread IN some sections o
the country, It seems TO me that such son
is quite OFT of place. In view of this fact
beg 10 offer your readers the following agr
cultural song:
The song | sing to yen to-day
Is not 10 learn a trade:
For am sad the truth TO say
That song asideis laid
The mills are running on half time,
The shops give forth 10 noise,
And il is hard 10 find dime
Among the prentice boys.

Your troubled hearts viii calm;
Ifyou have nothing else to DC
''Go work upon farm
The stores are filed with idle clerks,
Because the times are dun;
And be his duty plainly shirks-
When shops aud mills are full
Who seeks to learn trade, or tend
The counter Of store,
In hopes the future yet will send
A fortune TO his door.
CHORUS
All, vain are all such hopes as these,
That surely end in harm
Don't seek TO sit meath shady trees

Oh why should men in cities pine,
Or idly stay in town:
Why loaf about, and Grossly whine
That "things are upside DOWN.
Can this bring bread to wife and child,
And make the future bright?
Can this turn the weather mild,
OR furnish heat and light:

When the glad farmer gaily sings.
Because OF fruitful ground.

Pure Drinking Water--A Filter.

Pure water is most important thing
but that from wells is often contami-
mated by injurious matters. The well
is too frequently in too close proximi-
tv TO a cess-pool, a drain or the barn
ward. and in country places where one
would one suppose the water should
be of the purest kind, is, from these
causes, charged with the most deadly
poison. Decaying animal matter in So
luton in water is as deadly poison as
arsenic or strychnine, and many per-
sons die from disease which has been
caused by drinking water thus poison
ed. When boiled, the chance OF infec-
ton is much lessened, and ii is in the
water that this danger most frequent
ly exists. By properly filtering the
water for drinking, il becomes much
safer. A filter may easily be made OF
common four-gallon earthen or stone
crock, in which a hole for tap is
made near the bottom. These may be
usually purchased at the stores, or an
ordinary crock may be pierced for the
purpose. A round piece of slate is
made to fit the inside of the crock, and
is supported by some pieces of stone,
at a height of three or four inches
above the bottom. THIS piece of slate
has several small holes made in it to
allow the water to pass through, aud
is covered with about an inch of fine
washed gravel. Upon this is placed
two or three inches of hardwood
charcoal, broken into pieces no larger
than peas, and also well washed. On
this is placed layer of gravel and
sand. The water to be filtered is poured
into the space above the filter, and it
viii slowly percolatc through the gray
ell and charcoal. 10 be drawn off at the
tap below. Water thus filtered will
be purified as much as can be done by
any mechanical means. a piece of ice
can be kept in the jar to cool the wa
ter during the hot weather. The use
of the filter should not induce neg
lect Of the source of danger, and every
expense to secure the well from con-
tamination will be money well laid out.
The filter should be occasionally re-
newed by thoroughly washing the
gravel and using new charcoal.

What the objects of the order are is
topic of interest to be discussed in
every Grange and be meditated on by
every Patron. Perhaps they may be
summed up in this. To combine the
farmers together for mutual enlighten-
ment and mutual protection. Other
classes of men have had their organi-
cations for many years, but this is the
first time the farmers have attempted
any thing Of the kind.

Boyish Destructiveness Utilized.

A recent report of the French S0ci-
etc Central IL agriculture ct d Horti-
culture states that for some years past
one of the principal objects of the So
ciety has been to encourage the de-
struction of injurious animals, especial
ly insects, and the protection of insect
ivorous birds.
The principals of several schools
have seconded these efforts in a most
praiseworthy manner. School boys,
as rule, are rather destructive, and
advantage is taken of this Opposition
10 kill something. Prizes are offered
for the destruction of vermin of all
sorts, and at the same time for the pre-
servation of useful birds. Eleven pu-
pills in one school destroyed each 600
insects, of various sorts, besides ~
nests of caterpillars; and they pro-
tected twenty-seven nests of useful
birds, shetering l43 young. This is
only one of several cases reported, the
numbers of which are mostly much
higher. 1t would appear that insect
ivorous birds have been almost exter-
minated in some parts of France, and
injurious insects have increased pro-
portionately, so that they have become
a formidable scourge.

We invite the attention of all who wish to pur-
chase machines this season TO our splendid line,
and we feel assured that no one who buys one OF
ours VIII ever regret it, but will feel that he has
got more than his money! worth.
Oar Harvester, though equal, If not superior, to
any in the market last season, has been greatly
improved for the coming harvest in many essen
tial points SO that We can safely recommend IL
as standing alone, in the front rank of machines
of this kind, and very far in advance OF all COM
petitors.
To this machine we expect to attach our SELF
Binder, OF which we shall build a few hundred
this year, preparatory TO manufacturing them on
large scale, which we shall do as soon as
farmers become somewhat familiarlZed with
them, and have learned to handle them properly
Our Improved fdrGnce is the same as last year,
the seasons work not developing any point OF
improvement.
Our Improved Prize Motcer we also present just
as we made il last year, being so good rs to need
no change.
The Dropper we have improved some, having
altered the shcave on which the reel chain runs.
And now parting word
We have been selling reapers many years. BY
this time farmers should know what our reputa-
ton is whether we build good reliable machines or
not whether we do as we agree and make good
our warranty or not. We fiatter ourselves, If
1t is flattery to be proud of wel-deseryed repu-
tation for honesty and fair dealing, that there
can be but one opinion on this point. Knowing
our record in the past, you may be assured for the
future that in dealing with us you Will not be i'm
posed upon that you will get good seryiceable
machines that viii be worth the money you pay
for them, and not be constant source of annoy
ance and delay from breakages or impei feet con-
struction.
We sell our machines rs low as any frst-class
machine can be sold, and we ask you all TO AT
least examine ours before giving orders TO any
Agent for any other machine.
