THE COMMISSIONER OF AGRI
CULTURE OUGHT TO BE A
CA RINET OEEICER


In the last issue of the Prairie Farmer
the editor says:
eve are glad to see SO influential jour
nal as the american CRlIiOator, of Bos-
ton, is taking the same grounds as has
been advocated by the Farmer in relation
to the movement to make the Commits
sioner of Agriculture Cabinet officer"
Read what the CultiUator says, and we
will see how the Farmer feels on the
subject:
"We most sincerely hope the Western
agricultural journals will not be successful
in the plan which some of them are 'agi-
tating' of having the Commissioner of
Agriculture raised to Cabinet officer"
The editors of the above named Jour
mails may be very much smarter and more
far-seeing than the editor of this unpre-
tentious sheet, but until those papers give
some better reasons than they have yet
done, we shall most emphatically disagree
with them, and we shall do our utmost to
have the great agricultural interests Of this
country represented in the Cabinet of the
President The man whose duty it is to
look after the bloody wild Indian and also
after the wild land belonging to the Gov
eminent is dubbed Secretary of the Int
posing journals seem to think that is all
correct. Yet when you speak about rep
resenting the interest of twenty two mil
lions of producers Of the country by rails
ing their now feeble representative to the
dignity of Cabinet officer, they kick and
say they hope the scheme will not win.
The agricultural interest is by far the lar
gest and most important interest in this
country, and it should Immediately be
recognized as such and allowed to assume
place in our governmental affairs COM
mensurate with its importance. In our
judgment there is no department of this
Government that so richly deserves Cab
met officer as that of the Agricultural De-
partment. We certainly need Secretary
of Agriculture vastly more than we need
a Secretary of War With a Cabinet Off
Ger, chosen on account of his fitness to
represent our agricultural interests, he
could with some assurance of success call
the attention of the President and Con-
gress to thousand things that need rem
edying in the interest Of our agricultural
people that now are given the cold Shout
der simply because that class have no Off
Ger to urge their claims. But what sur
prises us most of all is, that any agricul-
tural journal published anywhere in this
broad land should oppose any scheme
looking to lettering the condition of the
very class they pretend to serve and from
whom they derive their support.-Sbirit

WHAT THE GRANGE IS-OR
OI-GHTN TO RF

If any of our readers have ever attended
the meetings of the State Board of Agri-
culture, they have thorough knowledge
of how much good, effeotual work can be
accomplished by means of lectures and
free discussions. Now, we ask, if so much
good, effectual work" can be accom-
plished in such simple way, why not
manage the Grange in like manner? The
Grange is-or ought to be-a first class
farmers club where farmers and their
wives should have free and unlimited H.
cense to say that which will be for the
good of the agricultural community in gen
eral; certainly we mean that they should
be there as Patrons and Matrons, and that
the stated meetings should be conducted
in accordance with the Ritual and our
Declaration of Purposes. But aside from
the formal sessions of the Grange there
should, at one meeting of Subordinate
Grange, each month, be some sort of an
intellectual feast, to which members and
non-members should be invited, to whom
the promised bread should not be denied
by the offer of a stone. Herein lies, deep
rooted, the success of organizations like
the Grange Its associations should be
enlarged invitations, cordial and hearty
should be extended to farmers not con
nected with the Order to come and enjoy
at least the "wheaten loaf of intellectual
culture" Such course, legitimately pur
sued, would undoubtedly lead to such at
tentive interest that ere long the meeting:
of the Grange would be what all good
Patrons and Matrons most desire them t.
| be. There would be no lack of interest
cooperation would be there as safeguard
againsta return to dormancy or lukewarm
ness. For the want of some such substan
tial feast, many Subordinate Oranges hav'
died-have folded their mantles abou
them and laid down in the silent tomb o
forgetfulness. To such might be dedica
ted the appropriate epitaph, "Died o
nothing to do."-PennsylUanie Farmer

The true Patron is indispensable to the
prosperity of every Grange. He is always
at Grange meetings when he can possibly
leave home, never skirks duty, will per-
form the duties of any officer, and does it
with cheerfulness. He never says he will
not attend the Grange at any particular
meeting because '.there is nothing going
on" but he is found there ready and al
ways ready with something to make the
meeting interesting. He is thoroughly i'm
bued with the principles which he pro-
fesses to believe and practice. He believes
that the principles SO beautiful in theory
will be better still when applied to prac-
! teal life. Such members have made oul

A MIXTURE OLE GRASSES

1t is a we'll known fact that mixed
crops are more productive than those
sown singly. Thus one acre sown to oats
and barley, or oats and peas, will yield as
much or nearly as much, as two acres
sown singly to either crop. So in grass
lands, clover and timothy mixed, will pro-
duce nearly twice as much as if the
ground were seeded to one of these alone.
1t is also we'll known fact, that our grass
lands are not SO productive as we could
wish, and the reason of this may be, and
probably is that we have but one or two
kinds of heritage in them. If we examine
old, thick, luXuriant sod, in pasture or
meadow, it will be found to consist of a
variety of grasses and other plants, each
of which seems to vie with the other
in occupying the soil for itself.
This is the result of natural seeding, and
gives US lesson which we may well pro-
fit by. There is another reason why grass
es should be mixed; this is that the peri
DDS of greatest vigor of different varieties
occur at different times. We can there
fore secure a succession of heritage for
long season by sowing variety of grass
seeds.
To give samples, we might mention that
mixture of orchard grass, red clover,
timothy and Kentucky blue grass, will
| produce a pasture which will be i'll good
condition for grazing from April when
the first mentioned grass is in fine condi-
ton, up to October, when the last is in
its most vigorous state: the clover and
timothy serving to fill up the interval
With one of these alone there would be
but one month of good heritage, and that
coarse # given the whole field to itself In
like manner, quantity of rye grass added
to meadow would help to furnish q
quick-growing meadow heritage which
rapidly and constantly recuperates after
cutting or eating down.
/ The fact is that we make much less Of
our meadows and pastures than we might
Y On the average, seven acres of pasture arr
required to keep one cow through The
pasturing season, wien by the best man
agement one acre, or at the most two
ought to be sufficient. This is due in grea
measure to the prevalent fashion of seed
ing down with but one variety of grass
with clover added sometimes, fashion
which, hereafter, experience teaches u
should be more honored in the breach thai

FARMERS, DON'T SELL YOUR COT
TON SEED.

We continue to urge the farmers of the Cotton
States not to sell their seed to the oil companies
at any price. 1t is the worst policy they can pur
sue. Every farmer should not only refuse to sell,
but he should buy the seed owned by his employees
and every bushel for feed and fertilizing pur
poses. At $40 ton, it is the cheapest and best
fertilizer in the world.
The oil companies combine to put down and
keep down the price to SO and 81 per ton, which
is not fourth of its real value Farmers should
combine to prevent its sale to the oil companies
under any circumstances.

ADDRESS OF WELCOME.

The following original address was read by s.
T. Walton before an open Grange meeting held
under the auspices of Pennypack Grange, No.
Penn, on Thursday evening, Oct, %, 1879:
Kind Patrons and neighbors who've listed our call,
With greeting fraternal, we welcome you all;
And we trust that your coming to meet with us
Will be fraught with those pleasures that brighten
and cheer.
We meethere tonight for the work of the Grange,
Which gives to farm labor respite and change,
For when wereturn to again till the soil
We are made to forget half the worry of toll.
Now we know he opinions that some Of you've
had, .t, i ...-. ....s
That the Grange is humbug, and that Changers
are bad;
But we hope to dispe all illusions like this
And to show what outsiders in consequence miss.
No mind can imagine, tongue can express
The power the Grange has the farmer to bless,
If all would unite, and enlist in the plan
Devised by its trainers to benefit man.
But many of those for whose good it was reared
Were first to cry out " It's thing to be feared"
And they reasoned with those whom they blindly
could sway
That "the Grange was all wrong, and would soon
pass away"
But, thanks to the kindness of Fortune and Fate,
The Grange is still living, though numbskulls
still pirate!
And while it continues to recompense give,
With greatness incl easing It's likely to live.
The Grange is designed as school for our clan,
And as scholars come and we learn all we can;
And, firm for the right we march forth as band,
To grapple with wrong that we find on each hand:
Monopolies, middlemen, credit, and all
OF the evils that long have held farmers in thrall;
1t is these desire to combat and abate,
Before in ears shall be sounded "Too later
We earnestly strive for the good and the true,
And jointly we'll labor in all that we do
Our motto inspires and encourages all:
IT'S - nited we stand and divided we fall
With Faith" "Hope" and CHARITY leading
along,
We socially mingle, and thus we grow strong.
Fidelity" next to our creed we must add,
And now would ask do you think us so bad?"
Again, in the name of our Pennypack Grange,
| welcome you here, and may nothing estrange;
But sentiment, speech, discussion and song
Fill the hours with gladness while passing along.
The patron of husbandry. (Columbus, Miss.) 1875-1883, 1879-11-08

The tramps are coming. Representa-
tives of 10000 miners met at Leeds, Eng
land, last Friday, and 'agreed to emigra-
ton as a means of easing labor at home"
1t is sad comment upon our civilization
that men are forced into idleness and from
their native land in search of bread and
employment The fault is not in these men,
but in an economic system that makes
possible the disinheritance of the labor ell
ement everywhere.
