GOOD ADVICE

T Put less toll and more thoughtinto your
calling and make it attractabl to your
children Unite with the Grange and
take your sons and daughters with you.
1t is the farmers own and only organiza.
ton, Ia PRACTICAL means of COM ihation,
of united effort and self help, and affords
the society andreereations~ye your
families so much need. Learn and prac-
tice the great principles of truth, justice
charity and brotherlyi love upon which it
is founded Cease to be mere plodders
and get out of the narrow grooves Of iso-
lation, prejudice, and mingled lcredulity
and suspicion in which you have been
running. BY mutual aid educate your
selves and cultivate your gifts, in, the
frank and free discussion the Grange of
those great questions inwhioh we are all
alike interested. Learn to be more hber-
al, and, above all things, brake the bonds
which make you the slaves of party and
the dupes iofdemagogues. Thus, you will
/ be better qualified to act well your part
in life, and fulfill the duties of citizens and
law makers of the State and nation. Thus
will your vocation be elevated and made

HAVE WE OVERCOME IN PIG
sIMPR OVEMENTS2 {.

d Rapid growth, early maturity, ability
to converts large quantity of food intoDa
good, salable product, ability to fatten
readily and to continue the process--th these
are all desirable qualities in swine, and
they have all been secured in each of sew
eral breeds tooia remarkable degree.
Have we gone too far in our efforts to
secure these points? This is a question
worth the asking, and it may be that an
affirmative. answer will have to be given.
4 1t islwell known that we cannot secure
perfections nor. even very high excellence,
in several directions at the same time, and
that almost certainly, some weak points
will accompany the the unusual develop
ment of good qualities; hence it is reason
able to suppose that with such marked
development in several desired qualities
as our best breeds of swine exhibit, there
will be at least obvious tendencies to some
undesirable traits. If we add to this gen
eral proposition the facts that the present
development has been secured in many
cases by close inbreeding, and by redu-
cling to a medium opportunities, at least
incentives for exercise, and that oftentimes
the breeding stock have not been kept in
the best condition for robust health in any
respect, we shall think it strange if the
result has not been deterioration of con-
stitutional vigor, if not the implanting of
of well-marked tendencies. to serious dis.
eases. is it not the fact that very many
of the most highly improved. swine are
not so healthful or SO able to resist disease
or unfavorable circumstances as is desira-
ble?ia oo- 4eT 10 'sf,r,--., ~ D., 49,.
but, aside from all this, have we not
carried the tendency to lay on fat too far?
1t is admitted that many show cow, or
sheep, or hog, is too fat to be most prof.
table, either for the butcher or the con-
sumner. There is alimit to the profitable
production of fat. Is it not true that the
disposition to lay OH fat. is in excess of
what is really desirable in the case of
eral somewhat highly priced breeds? The
proportion of lean meat has been reduced
to minimum, except in the hams and
shoulders, and greatly decreased in these.
For sshome use, do any prefer such. pigs
If any have doubts on, this point, let
them examine the carcases of a swell fat
tened hog, or look at sides of bacon, OF
even at ham or shoulder. If opportu-
nifty offer, let a comparison be, made OF
the carcases of model, we'll bred pigs, al
ways kept in high condition, and those
of common or grade pigs, which have
had more length of body perhaps a little
more length of leg, and which have fed
during part oftheir lives on, good grass
or clover as almost their. sole food, and
which have never been without a fail
amount of daily exercise, Its quite pos
sible the decision may be that while the
one. set would give the greatest profit
when sold on the market, the other would
be much the more desirable for family
eating. National Lire Stock journal.

ROOTS FOR COWS.

Roots are. being raised largely for mich
cows, and the Size and quality that is most
desirable is question of much impor3
lance. The Rural New Yorker thinks
the practical dairyman will give prefer
-ence to the form Of root most nearly APP
preaching the globular, free from side
roots and with a tap root as little f1eshy as.
possible. In support of this belief, it says:
aFarmers cannot wash their roots before
feeding, vet they are all sensible of the
evil of feeding them mixed with the earth
which adheres to the fine fibres and
branching prongs IF no other reasons
were to be given, it is sufficient that great
injury from wear is inflicted upon the
teeth of animals that must chew up an
ounce of sand with every pound of root
The attention of seedsmen has been thor
oughly awakened to the existence of this
opinion among practical herdsmen, and
most Of the new and improved sorts now
offered are of the globular form. AS be-
tween the mangoles and sugar beets, we
think the former will carry the day. But
if from the sugar beet variety can be
produced which will have, with globu
lar form, an excess of nutrient matter,
then the preference will naturally vibrate
in that direction In the. matter of size,
there can be little doubt that immense but
watery roots are getting out of favor with
men of experience. One of the great OBJ
jections to roots is the great amount of
frost-proofl storage room they require.
The'larger they grow, the more room they
occupy in proportion to their feeding val
ne, and the more likely to be hurt by slight
frosting, both before harvesting and after
being stored. A firm, heavy bulb of me
dunn size, with small neck, top and tap
root and as near to no side roots or fbres
as possible, is what is needed. We advise
our readers to select from the list of the
seedsmen the roots of this class, testing
various strains and selecting those that
best suit their soil and their Judgment

VOTERS THJNKs

Farmers generally are thinking men. If
a farmer intends planting crop, he care
fully studies the condition of his soil, the
advertisement Of the season, and other SURF
ronndings, and plants accordingly. Or if
he contemplates setting ont an orchard, Pie
selects the best spot of land for the pur
pose, Makes iudicious collection of fruits,
and at the proper time sets them out very
carefully; and SO on through the whole
list of farm, orchard, garden, or household
work, we find the average farmer think
ing man. But when he goes to the polls
to vote, or to the caucus to select, he be-
comes the easy tool of politicians and
demagogues.. 49, !" 'i''.'l 'llaa4'i ESQ ~
:. A friend of mine was asked a day or two
since what he thought of the so-called
Grant movement? Well, said he, 81
don't know much about it; but if the Re-
publican party nominate him, / will vote
for him." This is pretty fair. average
answer for the common farmer on politi-
cal questions, and shows that their inter-
est in politics ends with their fealty to their
party, and consequently they become the
tools for the Accomplishment of personal
ends by political wire pullers, and the butt
ofridicule to good meaning voters of other

The political field is therefore left to a
few patriotic citizens, and large number
of office-seekers and corrupt politicians,
who have no higher aims than personal
gain, and who often outnumber the better
class, and as often defeat the best inter.
ests of the State or nation. AS long as
honest men stay away from the nomina-
ting conventions or the polls, or go to
them only to carry out the behests of the
smooth tongued politicians, so long. offices

CONDITION. OF ENGLISH PEAS.
A

The London correspondent of the Zrt-
bune, in speaking of the English peasant,
says of him:q tHe and his progency do
not live; they. merely exist. Poets have
sung and moralists sentimentally descant
upon the British peasant, but strip him of
his romance and look at him t;uthfully
and soberly, and he represents a melan-
cholly spectacle. Heis merely beast of
burden, his conditionis little better than
that of serf, if indeed it is as good. He
groyels in poverty and wretchedness-of-
ten with an unsufhciencyi of food. And
scarcely is he able to dream of any more
elevated state of existence. for the social
forces by which he is beset almost entire
~ prelude him from breaking through tbs
bonds which hold him. He is a drudgei
his life is life of drudgery and from his
cradle to his grave it would be difficult to
see where his existence could be elumi-
mated by a ray of prosperity or hope. Al
the lowest round of the ladder of labor
he is forced to remain in thralldom, both
intellectual and social, which the custom
