AGRICULTURAL EXPERIMENTS to- de-
ermine the capabilities Of soil and eli
nate in various sections of our country
are to be attempted on a large scale by
the new Commissioner Of Agriculture,
General Leduc, who proposes enlisting
n his service all farmers who are willing
to receive and experiment with seeds.
There are many important industries,
such as that OF raising and converting
sugar beets, which could probably be in
troduced with profit if enough We're
known of the cond tons precedent TO sue
cess, and the probable result Of expert
ments to induce individual ventures OF
Of capital. Probably nothing more i
needed than that the Government shall
collect, classify and publish such infor-
nation, for any industry which 1t IS rea-
-onable to suppose will pay must ulti-
mately attract to it capital, intelligently
employed by individuals, and if the in
iividuals themselves do not see their way
clear to such ventures, the Government
(which means ali the people, should not
be expected to entjce them by subsidies
into new and untried fields.

Enemies 10 the Order.

To show our Patrons of Husbandry
how constantly on the watch it is necessa-
nv for them to be to avert the dangerous
thrust Of the enemies who never tail to
discover a point which has the appear
ance Of weakness, let Us take brief sur
vey Of the situation at this time. 1t Is
not necessary for us to 90 on and state
who our enemies are for this has already
been done too many times, and every
interested and observing member Of the
order knows full we'll who and what they
are. Now, at this season of the year
when every good farmer is busy harvest
ing or cultivating the growing crops, these
enemies are watching the Grange meet
ings And what do they find? 1t IS a
fact that in many instances the meetings
are attended by but few, and ii Is as Of
ten the case that the few who do attend
accomplish nothing they go home feel
neighbors that there Is but little interest
taken in the Grange. Such things are
Just what those who would injure the or
der rejoice in it is just the opportunity
which they have been patiently waiting
for, that an injurious blow may be struck.
Some of them are men of influence,
wealth and position their business sue
cess, it may be, is the result of a liberal
patronage among the farmers and they
have suffered losses since the Grange was
organized, for the cooperative movement
has reduced prices and greatly lessened
their sales.-Spirit of Kansas.

Profitable stock Breeding

1t is an undeniable fact, that one OF
the greatest elements of success in stock
breeding, lies in careful and judicious
feeding. We often publish statements
of enormous weight attained at a given
age by cattle, hogs and other kinds OF
farm stock, as an Illustration of the su
periority of good over scrub stock ; but
we should never lose sight OF the fact,
that these very satisfactory results are
attained only by men Who have good
stock, and who are good and liberal feed
eTs, and by no others. Good blood Is
Enthusiastically essential as a foundation
but, unless this be supplemented by care,
attention and generous feeding on the
part OF the breeder, the result is anything
but satisfactory, no mater how excellent
the stock may be in point OF breeding.
This is especially true of many of oul
improved breeds of domestic animals.
They are usually the product of many
generations of careful selection and gen
erous feeding, very greatly removed
from the original type, and wholly I'M
used to shifting for themselves hence
if they or their produce be subjected tc
neglect, put upon scanty fare, and eX-
piercing snow storms, it cannot be ex-
pected that they will thrive equally as
we'll as when under generous feeding and
proper shelter.
1t is high time that farmers generally
should understand that it does not pay
TO keep more stock on the farm than can
be well fed and cared for. One COW well
fed and properly protected from incle-
ment weather, will give more milk dur
ing the winter mouths than three of the
half starved, half-frozen animals SO often
upon the premises of even ''well-to do
farmers. A half-dozen well-bred pigs,
pushed from the time they are week
old, will make more pounds of pork, and
bring more per pound at nine months
old. and then fattened for the market.
A grade or thoroughbred steer well fed
from birth up TO two years old, will
weigh more at that age than one kept III
a half-starved condition, to the same age,
can ever be made to weigh, no matter
how long he may be kept. These are
facts which the experience of every IN
telGgent farmer will substantiate, and it
is strange that they are not more general
ly recognized.
Nothing is more certain, and no fact
in rural economy has been more com
pletely demonstrated by experience, than
that it pays to keep good stock and to
keep it we'll. The very best attainable
bleod is to be desired, and must be used
if the most profitable results are to be
reached but to use very expressive
phrase. the best OF breeds are wonder
fully improved by the use of the big corn
crib and warm barn cross-a cross that
must be constantly resorted to by all who
would make stock raising profitable, and
and in default of which the best of breeds
will rapidly deteriorate-W estern Farm

Tryin. to Live without Work

The following, from the pen Of Horace
Greeley, is true and applicable to this
day: "Our people are too widely inclin-
cd to shun the quiet ways Of productive
labor, and try to live and thrive in the
crooked paths Of speculation and needless
traffic We have deplorabIy few boys
learning trades, with ten times too many
anxious to get into business; : that is, to
devise some scheme whereby they may
live without work. OF the journeymen
mechanics now at work IN this city, we
Judge that two-thirds were born IN Eu-
rope and the disparity Is steadily aug
menting. One million families are try
ing to live by selling liquors, tobacco,
candy, etc, in our cities, who could be
spared therefrom without the slightest
public detriment; and if these were
transferred to the soil, and set TO growing
again, meats, woods, etc, or employed in
smelling the metals or weaving the fab
rics for which we are still running into
debt in Europe, our country would in-
crease its wealth AT least twice as fast as
now, and there would be far less COM
plant of dull trade and hard times.
