The Worthington advance. [volume] (Worthington, Minn.) 1874-1908, 1878-04-11

The papers are acknowledging the
service done by our Member, Hon. NJ.
H. Dunnell, who is one Of the Commit
toe Oh Commerce, toward securing an
appropriation Of nearly $1,000, 600 to-
ward improving the Mississippi River.
Nj. Dunnen generally has his say upon
tho great Political questions but his eff.
forts are ieSnecially directed to practi-
cal work ftr lis State and district, and
IN this he has no superior in Congr. IS.
lIe Is a practical, working member,
and we very much doubt whether his
services CARRIE dispensed with.
1ug wk0Ndis OF THE SCHOOL SYSTEM
Fault is being found all over the
country with the present public-school
system. In New York city, in Ro-
chester, Auburn, Utica, in st. Louis,
Cleveland, Providence, Rhode Island,
and elsewhere, the cry goes up that too
much money is spent ut the top and too
little at tho foundation. The costly
high schuols, where the ornamental
branches are taught to comparatively
few pupils, take the great bulk of tile
oCuOoA luilSA, Nllllc LIlc pIIlllIly SCHOOLS
are neglected. The discussion is grow.
ing i'll interest in all OF the cities
named.-Pittsburg Dispatch.
Some months ago we wrote letter
to the ADVANCE from Chicago dwell
ing upon two wrongs in our public
school system, viz: the ::reading of the
Bible in the schools, to the disregard
OF the wishes of the Jews, Catholics
and Liberals, and secondly, the taxing
Of the property of one man to teach ac-
complishments, such as Music, French,
German, ETC., to other mems children.
This latter has grown. into such gi-
gantic evil that the protest against it
begins to be general. Recently, the fact
was developed III Chicago that thous-
ands of poor children in that city were
receiving no benefits from the schools,
while the city WAS paying thousands
Of dollars to teach what is called ''li gh-
er branches in the public schools.
Now, let the protest go up until these
wrongs are righted. The State has no
right to tax property to teach any par
ticular religion or to teach accomplish
ments to the young.

Early Cutting, Etc.

saw in your paper of June 22d that you
advocate the cutting of grass early sup
pose you mean by early, when the Timothy
and clover is in blossom---and that such hay
made of early cut grass is more profitable
to the farmer than late cut. I am glad to
see some one getting out Of the old ruts that
their forefathers used to run in on that point
and should like to see them getting up out
of the rut of having an open, loose-boarded
barn to put their hay in after it is cut In
an open, ventilated barn, where the air ever
circulates freely, no hay will keep without
hurt and damage, unless thoroughly Invested
of moisture, whether IL be water or the juice
of the grass and the cooking up hay and
spreading it out two or three times to have
it dried sufficiently to put into such open
barns when grass is cut in that state-when
it contains the most nutritious properties
for stock, deprives the hay of that goodness
which it would contain if it could be housed
the same day that it was cut-besides the
extra time and expense of cooking it up and
opening it, together with the risk of its be-
ing washed. Now if the place for storing
hay were made so tight as to exclude the
circulation of the air, then grass, however
green and succulent, can be cut in the morn
ing, and having been Invested of water occa-
stoned by the dew Or rain-if the day is fair
may be safely put in such place or barns
the same day, thus saving quite an item OF
time and labor, which is very essential to
the farmer in hay time. 1t seems to me
wrong to preach up the advantage of the
cutting of grass early, knowing that it can
not be put into the barns as now COM
monty constructed without having it spoil
by having it undergo fermentation by the
air circulating into and driving the juices
of the grass to the centre of the NOV, max
| ing it mow-burnt unless hayed two or three
days SO as to dry up all those juices which
the grass contains when it is the most nu-
tritious. From the testimony of several in
this vicinity and elsewhere have made
the above remarks. Mr.. William E. Cush-
man, of this town, filed his hophouse-
which all know must be tight structure
with grass cut when nearly in bloom, in the
morning, and put in the same day and when
opened-for he closed the hop-house up
when he got it full-in the winter to use,
he found it unchanged-just as green, and
with the same good aroma, as when he put
it in. Such hay will make cows give milk
in winter without any grain; and stock
kept with such hay through the winter will
not come out a shadow of their former selves

Everything Lovely.

Brother Tinkham, in reply to our CORE
spondent Farmer" says he only asserts,
and does assert, that as good results can
be shown in using the old-fashioned small
pans as by the most approved modern in
ventions." Nobody has ever doubted or dis
puted this, and the wonder is that he should
have ever thought to get up an issue on it.
The point has been, and is, whether the
modern inventions are more convenient,
more easily managed and more uniform in
results. We are all agreed on the matter
as Brother Tinkham no,c puts it. So let us
have peace.
Brother Tinkham adds, on another point,
that he "never made the assertion that
farmers knew all about their calling that is
required, or that it is unwise to give them an
elementary knowledge of chemistry or veter-
mary art" all of which is a surprise TO those
who have read his articles ridiculing those
who are in favor of what he now says he is
not opposed to. But as he now stands, there
is no issue between him and Farmer" or
anybody, on this point So let us have peace.
Brother I. complains that we found room
for "Farmer's " article, but do not print
his replies to oursef and our correspondents
in full He also complains of Farmers :"
and our own injustice to his position Guilty
as we perhaps may be on these points, we
don't see how he can complain, since he
"began it," The first we knew of his en-
barking in agricultural editorship was from
friends sending us a copy of an article he
printed from another Farmer" Cor per-
haps the same one), attacking us, as we
think, most unfairly, on the subject of agri-
cultural education, but not printing the ar
ticle criticised, which would of itself sufi-
GENTLY answered the attack upon it aud the
invidious quotations of few hints separated
from the context. But we forgive all that.
So let us have peace.
Brother T. also complains that old files
were not examined by" Farmer" so as to
give his exact words in quotation. As an
example of how it ought to have been done,
he says he has not been able to join in the
cry that certain persons were thieves and
robbers who were yearly pocketing eight
thousand dollars of the farmers money and
giving them no return therefor" This is
probably a verbally exact quotation, but he
fails to give chapter and verse, and we are
sure we never saw it before. AS he says Of
himself, sue have criticised rather freely,
but not to the point 1--WE have the best Of
reasons for knowing), of exciting personal
ill-will, as we certainly and deservedly
should have done had we used the language
given by Brother T. But on these topics
it seems as though the last word had now
been said. So let us have peace.

nice place; the woodbine leaves swaying in
the breeze, played perfect witchery with the
westering sunlight, and from the garden be-
low came the breath Of pinks and roses.
And so these three children, who were in
high good humor now, chatted out there on
the porch, and told stories which were quite
as harmless and contained as little fiction
as those told by elderly ladies at their tea
drinkings.

pened. Sam, who with other boys had
climbed up on shed, had fallen off and
broken his arm. 1t wasn't a bad fracture,
the doctor said, but Sam thought otherwise,
and indeed he had suffered, as his pale face
plainly showed. George and Phil eyed his
splintered arm with pity and awe, while a
mistiness came to the eyes of Rose that
prevented her from seeing at all. Sam, who
was good deal humbled, saw it, and his
conscience smote him as he thought of his
unmanly conduct in the morning. This
Fourth of July had been a day of great de
light to Rose and her little friends, but for
Sam it had proved anything but day OF
pleasure. But it will have been profitable
day if the breaking of Sans arm be the
means of breaking him of tormenting Rose
which had hitherto been his delight. San
has often been reproved for it, but he would
excuse himself by saying he "didn't mean
anything, he only wanted little fun" for
getting that fun may carried so far as tt
amount to cruelty and meanness. However
Sam seems to be reforming in this matter
for Roses unfailing kindness and readiness
to wait upon him, together with a plain tall

there is to be permanent change in hi
treatment of his sister Rose.

Markets..

The market for flour yesterday was extra IS 80,
family IS go and superfne 81 IS; wheat, good ar
tcle, 81 Is. The very bad condition of the roads
prevents farmers from bringing their produce
t o market. and consequently very little is offer
ing and small stock on hand One of our most
active and extensive dealers had only "a barrels
of extra OH hand, when it is usual for him to
have about 200.
The indications from Europe all point to peace.
The large grain producing districts OF Russia,
heretofore blockaded, have been opened to
the markets of the world, and as it is generally
recognized that the grain exporting countries
have ample surplus to supply all the demands OF
the importing countries, prices cannot be expect
ed to vary much from what they now are. The
brief summary of the foreign news elsewhere
published will inform our readers of the attitude
OF the various interested powers in the Eastern
complications, and enable them to draw their
own conclusions as to the peace prospects. The
leading journals of this country and Europe re-
gard a final peaceabe solution of the difficulties
more than probable, in which event the products
of the exporting countries will resume the regu-
lar channels of trade, and the markets must ne
cessarily be governed thereby.
The market in Baltimore was depressed. Ex-
