Let the popular mania be what it
may, whether grasshoppers or chinch
bugs or any other pests come or not.
the everlasting grumbler will be
around with the first approach of
spring with his prophesies of evil, his
complainings, his winnings .about the
country, the people, the climate the
soil and the things that are, and the
things that are not. He hangs upon
the fence and bores you with his fears,
his aches, his pains and his petty per-
sonal troubles and his neighbors' fail
ings. We can stand the drouth and
failure of crops, fifteen per cent. inter-
est on cut-throat mortgages, tramps,
the chicken cholera or even an occa-
sional shake OF the ague, Qf we lived
il an ague country but good Lord
preserve us from the lazy, constitu-
tional grumbler. What their mission
is, what they are good for, has never
been discovered. The brightest day
is to them sign of an approaching
storm. The best action Of their neigh
Dor is to them only the cloak of some
deep scheme of villainy. Every COM
munity has its chronic grumblers and
as the busy season with its many du-
ties presses the industrious farmer for
time he should have placard posted
"grumblers not allowed to trespass on
these grounds. "-KansaS Farmer.

Connecticut, with its thirteen
Oranges and 32S members, has had as
much influence. casting two votes, at
the sessions of the National Grange, las
Ohio with its PA Oranges and S,977
members This is one of the anoma-
lies of the existing system of represen-
tation that cannot be avoided while
the constitution remains unamended,
but it is eminently unjust that the Pa
irons of Ohio, to secure their two
votes in the National Grange, should
have 10 pay dues to the amount of S4,-
500 year, while those of Connecticut
get Off scot free. If the official reports
of the National Grange are correct
as they probably are-the treasury has
not received single cent of dues from
Connecticut in 1875 or 1876. Then
why has Connecticut been allowed to
consume the funds of the National
Grange and vote them away? "No
representation without taxation" is as
good a rule as ''No taxation without
representation" -Neao York World.

The Kentucky Grange Agency has
recently been re-organized, and starts
out with capital and credit of $780,
600. Mr.. III. Hosklns, a man of thor
ough business abilities and extensive
acquaintance throughout the entire
South, has been appointed manager.
This is an instance where the Grange
organization has opened business
house upon strict business principles,
and success may be looked for.

From this table can be seen the gain
in the labor account with crop, which
comes from the use OF broad farrow
in blowing. If we can call sixteen
miles day the days work for the
horse, we plow but one and one-fourth
acres day, by making nine-inch fur
row, nearly two acres, by making a
twelve-inch furrow; and when gang
plow is used, which plows twenty
four-inch furrow, the acreage is in
creased to nearly four.
The use of an improved plow, which
turns broad furrow and pulverizes,
is therefore on economy OF land suit
ed to its use, and there is great gain
from the use of gang plow under the
circumstance where it is applicable.
The Wichita city eagle. [volume] (Wichita, Kan.) 1872-1883, 1877-05-03

That Kansas presents one of the
most profitable fields in the country
for stock growers there is no question
of doubt. The splendid grasses, the
cheap corn, the long grazing season,
the mild winters and last, but not
least, the unusual shipping facilities
in every section of the State, are all
points of excellence in favor of Kansas
not found in the same degree in any
other State. That we can supply Col
orado, st. Louis, Chicago, New York
and the English market with good
beef is well established fact. In the
future there is every reason to believe
that the eastern and European markets
will continue to grow better every
year and that first-class native stock
will well pay the western farmer. The
time has passed for Kansas farmers to
longer lose money and feed in endeav-
oring to fatten Texas cattle-or to
further experiment in grading up
these long-legged, long horned, profit
less animals. The stock that farmers
want is the kind that brings the high
est prices east or west. and they are
high grade native cattle. The markets
of every year demonstrate the above
fact, and those who have the sagacity
to use good thoroughbred bulls in
their herds in the past few years, are
to-day beginning to reap large per
cent. for their good judgment. What
is true of cattle is equally so of all
kinds Of domestic stock. Every farm
er realizes that it requires just as much
time and iced to raise scrub animal
as it does good grade, while the rel
alive profit is SC largely in favor of
stock that the wonder is |
that man who breeds orprofit should |
consent to use any but the best of
blooded males.-KdnSaS Farmer.
