The Supreme Court and the Farmers.

The farmers of the West have been Sc
railroad companies to the control of some
law other than their own will. When stat
utes for the regulation of railroads were en-
acted, at the instance of the farming COM
munity, by the state Legislatures, the man
ayers of the roads Immediately resorted to
the courts, and appealing from one to another,
finally brought the test cases to the supreme
court at Washington. Here they have at
last been adiudcated. The Springfield
(Mass.) Republican, referring to the subject,
says: "The supreme court has at length
decided the test granger case in favor of the
grangers, recognizing the right of the states
to make laws regulating the rates and prac-
tees of common carriers, even though ind-
rectly they may interfere with the ability
of railroads or others to fulfill their contracts.
This decision is in accordance with the view
taken by the Republican from the begin
ming, and has been greatly needed to limit
the loose powers claimed by chartered cor
porations under the Dartmouth College de-
cision. Although it comes long after the
crisis of the grange legislation has passed,
it is by no means superfluous, as most of the
states which adopted policy of railroad
regulation retain it in modified and vim
dictated form. All the bench but Justice
Field concurred in the decision, so that it
will carry great weight The power of a
state to fix maximum charges for the stor-
age of grain is also conceded to collateral
case. In short, our public corporations have
received long quietus to their habit of re-
cent years of "lawing it" with the states"

Milk Fever, etc., etc.

Mr.. f. Stoddard, of Warren, writes :;
The milk fever in cows does not trouble
the farmers in this section much, that
have heard Of The reason, | suppose, is
that there is so much scrub farming going on
we have more trouble with the afterbirth.
| would have cows fed on good hay, and
carded and watered regularly, keeping them
in warm, dry stable. Before calving, put
the COW in pen where she can run loose,
and be closely watched, Let her have a
feed of roots daily. After calving, give
warm drink for two or three days, then be-
gin to feed some meal. After week feed
from five to six quarts, daily. | never had
any trouble with milk fever, or anything
else, when the COW was treated in this
manner.
"Those three small snowflake potatoes you
sent me last spring, | cut to single eyes and
had twenty-five pieces, from which ! raised
forty-seven and half pounds.
From one pint of Pedigree corn | raised
eight baskets of ears. ! did not give it a
fair trial, for the manure | used was green,
but liked it well, and shall try it again"
1t is pleasure to us to hear favorable re-
turns from what have seemed to us valuable
varieties of grains, roots, etc. We never
have distributed anything of the kind that
had not proved good and desirable on our
own land, after a fair trial. One crop of
Pedigree corn, with no fertilizers but super
phosphate and ashes, was at the rate of one
hundred and eighty-six baskets to the acre
-" nearly every ear fit for seed," as Mr..
Jameson said of his crop.

Reasons for Hating Alcohol.

Colonel X. G. Ingersoll recently delivered
lecture in Pittsburgh. Although the lar
gest hall in the city, holding twenty-five
hundred people, was packed, three temper
ance meetings held at the same hour were
also thronged. Referring to the great TEN.
perance revival going on there, the orator
said The nobility aud grandeur of this
Pittsburgh movement is that it has COM
meneed from the inside and worked its way
out. 1t has not been a barrier thrown
around an evil, but destruction of the
evil. There is no credit in a mans not
picking pockets with his hands tied behind
his back No wonder men hate liquor
Who could look upon the cursed stuff alco-
hol as it runs through the world and emp
ties into the hell of sorrow and disgrace
without hating it When we see this
worst fiend the world knows casting its
blight upon palace and cot, sowing the
seeds of discord, breeding anger, reeking
with human blood, making widows of wives,
dragging virtue to the brothel, honor TO the
gutter, manhood to the mire treading on
human hearts, redhanded with the blood of
murder; separating families plucking the
son from the mother crushing that love
hest of humanity into the graves oblivion !;
damning with its pollution all that is fair,
noble, or good upon the earth-does any one
wonder that man and woman should curse
the infamous stuff with every drop of blood
in their bodies p

A True Hero.

"Thou wouldst like to be great man,
my son, like the heroes thou hast read of in
the school-books. Hast thou thought well
over that wish of thine ?' al can think of
nothing better" answered the widows son.
The mother opened the door into the room
where her little son, her Benjamin, lay sleep
ing, with rosy cheeks and clenched baby
fists. "There is a saying that charity be-
gins at home, my son." said the mother to
her first-born. "Since thou art to be hero
and a great man, there are many things
thou must learn-are there not p " To rule
men," said the boy, flushing, "to live well,
and to make men feel my power" "That
is a humble task thou hast set myself" said
the mother, smiling, laying her hand gently
on the lads head. For every great aim
there must be small beginnings, must
there not ?" "Of course there must" said
the boy. "Wel then, | counsel thee to be-
gin here. Rule thy little brother; live so
that he may love and reverence thee; make
him feel thy power The boy looked at the
cradle and the tiny sleeper in it. That
seemed very humble startingpont indeed !

has ordered that eager, ambitious boys of
twelve years old do not awake every day to
heroic deeds, and to find themselves men, he

day his mother heard the big boy and the
little boy disputng. The little one ended
by burst of tears. "Thou hast begun at
the wrong end, dear son" said the widow to
the elder. "Thou must first rule thyself,
before thou canst rule thy brother" The
boy hung his head and saw it was true
And he began to rule himself from that day
forward. He did learn to rule his little
brother after a time, for he was wise and
tender with him. But at forty years DID,
the elder son said to his mother: took
thy advice, and have always tried to rule
myself and think | have gained some in
fluence with one soul under heaven-my
brother. But have found that to rule my
self and guide him is enough for me; and
so | am no hero" Perhaps in Gods sight
thou art all the more hero for that" said
his mother. "Thou hast given all thy mind,
and what is better, thy heart, to one good
work, and hast done it well, though | say it,
TO save one soul is better than to conquer
a CITY," 81 WONDER then, why God gives
us in youth such wild ambition" he an
swered, " if so little is to come of it all 2"

powers of man, all the fires of the hottest
human ambition, are not enough to do one
little work for God. To know we have
done that is to be happy and blessed, and to
have lived well.-Christian Weekly.

The StOckbridge Fertilizers.

Though many instances of success in using
the special fertilizers compounded according
to the formulas of Professor Stockbridge, of
the Massachusetts Agricultural College, are
reported, we notice that the professor is rep
resented as saying, recently, that he does
not believe that, as a whole, the farmers OF
New England got their money back that
was laid out in artificial fertilizers last
season. He ascribes this to the drought.
We are pleased to note that the professor ex-
plains his "patent " on these formulas as
not intended to prevent any one from using
them on their own responsibility, but merely
TO hinder their being sold under his name
without his authority. In his own words he
"secured the copyright so that his own
name could not be used by irresponsible
or Ignorant parties to the disadvantage
of the public. No one is debarred from
using or compounding any fertilizer he
pleases, nor is anyone debarred the priv
ilege of buying what and of whom he
may choose. lie is only prevented from
selling compounds as by authority of Profess
sor Stockbridge, when Professor Stockbrdge
knows nothing of the compound, or of the
dealer who may offer it."

Outdoor Work for Women.


Here is what one woman reports of her
own experience on this subject Certain it
is, that no one can long be healthy upon
whom the sun seldom shines; " ! was feeble
and sick for years. Medicine did me no
good, and so one morning late in April, 1869,
! went to the field with my husband and
drove the horses to plough for while in
the afternoon drove again. When the field
was ready for the corn and potatoes
dropped the seed; when the haying was
commenced worked every day, raking,
driving the team, and moving away in
the barn; picked up and assorted potatoes,
husked corn, gathered pumpkins, and worked
out of doors at everything except feeding
pigs. ! learned to milk, and all winter ]

Drying Off the Cows.

We take the following from the Rural
New Yorker; "The season has now come
when the herds are to be dried of their
milk, and it is one of the most important
operations connected with the successful
management of the dairy. Immense losses
are sustained annually from an improper
manner of drying off cows. If milk is al
lowed to remain in the udder even in very
small quantities, it becomes thick and CO.
agulated and acts as a foreign substance,
producing irritation, and is liable to affect
injuriously or destroy some of the parts of
the bag and teats. Cows cannot be dried
of their milk at once, and some cows con-
tinue to secrete milk in small quantities for
a long time. But in all cases where the
animal has ceased TO give milk, or is what
is termed /" dry" she should have her udder
examined from time to time and the teats
tried to see if any milk can be drawn. At
first the trial should be made at intervals of
two or three days, and if there is particle
of milk in the bag it should be all thoroughly
drawn. Then the trial may be made at
longer intervals. When cows are supposed
to be completely dry, the rule should be to
go through the herd every week, making
trial of the teats to see if any milk can be
drawn. And this work cannot safely be in
trusted to " hired help" but must be per-
formed under the "eye of master" Many
persons are not aware of the Importance of
drying cows, and hired help often think it
piece of folly to try to draw milk from a
dry COW. We have had such men, and they
were good, honest men, too, and they would
insist that certain cows were perfectly dry,
but yet, when put to the test under our rule
of trying the teats once a week during win
ter, we have found, in numerous instances,
that small quantities of thick milk or a
watery fluid could be drawn from the udder."

Treating.

The greater part of the drinking that is
done does not owe its origin to the craving
of the drinkers for stmulants. The masses
are not born with an innate desire for bane.
full intoxicants. They drink because they
are invited to drink, not because they are
thirsty. This is true especially of young
men, whose education and moral principles
make them adverse to the degrading prac-
tice, but who lack the backbone to say NO."
when more hardened tpplers entice them.
Even those who have learned to imbibe
freely seldom care to go alone for drink.
A young man will saunter for hours in the
evening alone without feeling the need of in
diligence, but directly he meets an acquaint-
ance, one or the other proposes drink.
Neither perhaps cares for it, but each sup
poses his friend would like one. The respon-
sibiity of the treating system does not end
with the first glass.
