THE FARMERS WINTER.

The farmers winter should be a school
and each member In II student. Old
and young should alike take interest IN
the lessons only required OF the young.
The home thus made IA field OF education,
filled with selection Of books and perl
odicals, requires in its head 4 good
deal OF careful thought and planning.
This. too, is legitimate, satisfactory
work. We wish that we might urge. to
some extent. the employment OF organ
IL ton among farmers Tor a higher pur-
pose than is in general practice.
SO large majority of farmers are
rich in experience who never have tried
to convey it to others by pen or spoken
word. that it seems a waste to not have
it employed tor the good OF all. Too
often yranCers and farmers clubs only
dip into the surface OF the work they
ought to do without allowing their ef-
lorls to reach the bottom OF agricultural
experience and development. Every
farmer who has been abba to work into
IL successful practice ought TO be able to
address his fellows upon his methods and
the preparations OF such addresses or eS-
saws makes Il good winters work. One
other matter we wish to suggest in this
connection. 1t is not enough that Il
farmer can look at his balance in the
bank. or ut The fami = he has clothed,

CHEAP TRANSPORTATION.

The Cincinnati Grange Bulletin has a
well tempered article on the subject OF
'The Changers, in politics" In the
course OF the article the writer has the
following. 1t will be observed that Mr..
Sawdon fully sanctions course Of policy
similar to that which the Patrons of Wis
eonsin have been recommended by their
Worthy Master to adopt:
: Men Of both political parties agree
that the rates OF transportation are SO
high as to be very oppressive to ship
pers, and much higher than would be
necessary to give the railroad companies
fair profit ii they conducted their bust
ness with the economy and industry
which is required in every business to
make it pay. The farmers being the larg-
est shippers, are of course the greatest
sufferers from this oppression, but they
are not the only ones. Not to mention
the shippers OF other than farm products
this oppression OF of agriculture is disas-
trous to all other departments of bust
ness. Fer when the farmer has little
money to spend the merchants sales are
lessened, the manufacturers sales are
lessened, and so on. But in this coun-
try farm products are the chief exports,
and agriculture is therefore the founda
ton and principal source Of our wealth,
aud whatever tends 10 keep men from
Pursuing that calling, OF tends in any
way to diminish the amount of farm pro-
duets. tends at.the same time TO make the
country poorer. An injury to agricul-
ture is therefore more harmful than an
Injury to almost any other department OF
trade. When the Changers ask the Gov
erment to relieve them from the oppre
sion OF the railroads, they ask for thai
which will benefit not only themselves,
but the whole country.
Garngers are politicians, just as all
good citizens are, in this that while they
desire nothing that is not tor the general
good. they claim the same privileges in
following their occupation that other
men enjoy in following theirs.

THE .HUSKlNC.
BY J, G. WHITTIER.

BY J. G. WHITTIER.
1t was the pleasant harvest time,
When cellar bins are closely slowed,
{ And the garrets bend beneath their load.
And the old swallow haunted bans
Brown gabled, long, and full of seams
Through which the NOTED sunlight streams
And winds blow freshly in to shake
The red plumes of the roasted cocks,
And the loose hay mow's scented locks, -
Are filed with summers ripened stores,v
Its odorous grass and barley sheaves,
From their low scaHold to their caves.
On Esek Hardens oaken floor,
With many an autumn's threshing worn,
Lay the heaped ears of unhusked corn.
And thlther came young men and maids,
Beneath that moon that, large and low,
Lit that sweet eve Of long ago.
They took their places; some by chance,
And others by merry voice
Or sweet smile guided to their choice.s
How pleasantly the rising moon,
Between the shadows of the mOws,
Look Oh them thro the great elm bong lis!
On sturdy boyhood, sun Drowned,
On girlhoOd, with its solid curves
OF healthful strength and painless nerves.
And jests went round, and laughs that made
The housed, answer with his howl,
And kept astir the barn yard fowl;
And quaint old songs their fathersesung
Ia Deiby dales and Yorkshire lnoors,
Ere Norman William trod their shores;
And tales, whose merry license shook
The fat sides Of the Saxon thane,
Forgetful Of the lowering Dane,
udc plays, to Celt and Clmbri known
The charms and riddles thai beguiled
On Oxus' band the young worlds child
at primal picture-speech wherein
Have youth and maid the story told
So new to each so dateless old,
Recalling pastoral Ruth in her
Who waited, blushing and demure,
The red ears kiss Of forfeiture.
