DIr. JOHN MonoAN N1cKowN writes to TnE
Tn1uuSE from Arcola, ILL.,, in regard to tho
"Sylnposium on tho subject of negro suf-
frnge printed in the current number Of tho
North american Rerit,o. We print lis lot
tor in another column. It Is written III a
mysterious style, which leaves It's particular
Significance good deal in doubt, but wo
infer TINT le credits tho origination of the
"Symrosium Mt this ti1no to Senator
BLAINE for tho double purpose of bringing
tho Inter s Presidential aspirations into
prominence md Of heading OF movement
on tho pnrt Of tho Southern Democracy to
capture the oolored vote in tho Southern
Stntea. Ii wo placo tho proper construction
upon Mr.. MoAowNs communication, we
must differ with him in both points. It is
not likely TINT Mr.. BLAINE originated tho
"Symposium ut all it is probable Tint tho
itloa occurred to tho onterprising conductor
Of tho NorA american, which is printing q
series OF such discussions, md TINT Mr..
BLAINE was chosen to lend and close the de-
bate as one Of tho most competent mon for
The duty. We do not think it is fair, thero-
fore, to Charge Alr. BLAINE with any selfish
purpose in pRrtaktng Of tho discussion.
IA to tho probabls Democratic "capturo :,

| that the nelhods pursued in sevcral Of tho
Southern States aro not calculated to win
the lasting affection Of tho blacks for tho
Democratic party, though the latter mAY be
thereby temporarily coerced into submission

tho purpose Of Its provisions is exactly

THE GRAN GEES.

The oranges throughout the state seem to
be in a very quiescent state at present !;
most of them are only holding monthly
meetings, and some not so often as that.
They are now busy securing the crops they
have been 50 patiently waiting for the last
six months, and if they omit a meeting oc-
%casionally we think they are quite excusa-
BILE. After the harvesting is over we hope
to hear of a revival of the good work all
along the line. If the farmers ever needed
an organization Of their own in which they
can combine tor mutual protection in the
handling of their crops, it is at the present
time. What has been done by the wheat
growers of California through the Changers
Business association in breaking up the
wheat ring, the sack ring and the freight
ring, is now of incalculable benefit to them.
The benefits of a close or united organiza-
ton need not be confined to wheat growers !;
any other branch of farming can accom-
plish results as great.-CalJformia Patron.

Man Is by nature, weak. he can do moth

through co-operatioa-that is, working to-

gahization is the universal medium through
which cooperation is accomplished. 1T is
the machine and instrument by which all
human success ever has been or ever will
be attained. Civilization is but the result of
successive organizations, and history is sim

men, has been the last to try cooperation

means, q massing of forces and in obedience

quotations. The price of oats has adyanc-

little on the decline. Dealers are afraid to

Chemistry on the Farm.

From an address by Prof. Atwater,
| before the recent meeting of the Yer
mont Dairy-men's Association at Mont
pelier.
4 knowledge Of the science of chemis-
try is absolutely necessary to the proper
feeding of cattle, and although amongst
the lower order Of Germans there is
much degradation, yet they have made
more progress in the feeding of cattle
than any other nation. There they pay
SO for the use of a single acre of land
for a year, and have no deserted farms
as we have in Vermont. There the
best minds unite experience with science,
employing the best chemists in the
world, and the tenant farmer pays for
their Investigations.
Chemical science reveals the why and
the wherefore of experience; it unfolds
TO US Of what the elements of food are
composed. how nitrogen, oxygen, hydro
gen and carbon, with a little earthly
matter. constitute all that is necessary
for the growth of plants and animals,
constituting, as they do, water, atmOs-
pheric air and the breath we respire.
They form the albuminoids, the carbo-
hydrates and the fats.
Albumen, ~casein, fbrin, gluten in
plants. are constituted the same as the
albumen of the eggs, the serum in the
blood and muscle or flesh of the animal.
In plants we have sugar and starch and
c~ellulose these consist of about the
same proportions, and plants can change
these from one to the other. In plants
we have fats in the shape of oils, such
as linseed oil, cotton-seed oil, olive oil
and a number of others. In the animal
we have tallow, lard and fat meats,
differing but slightly in their different
proportions. All the different elements
are contained in plants, animals and
milk.
The dairyman is a manufacturer, his
barn is his factory and his animals are
his machines, while the food with which
he supplies them is the raw material. 1t
is his business to know how to feed this
material to produce the best products
and at the lowest possible cost. There

Here is a word or two from father
Evans Of the Milton Chronicle:
The Revenue Bill of the last Leeisla-
ture is a clincher! We've e it, and
ne'r wish t. look upon its like again.
We guess the Attorney General is even
now engaged III explaining it. Tall
swearing has to be done by the tax
payer, who is required to make 0 1t and
deliver to the township assessors a veri-
fed statement of all real and personal
property, moneys, credits, investments
in bonds, stocks. joint stock companies,
annuities, or otherwise I'm his posses
sion or under his control, on the lst day
of June. The tax payer Is required
also to swear to the true value of all
his property and chooses in action, ex-
cept land, which shall be valued by the
assessors. And then the tax payer is
required to tell his or her age and swear
to it. We believe the bill taxes every
thing from a tooth pick up, except a
hymn book, bible, an old musket or shot
gun to muster with, and a mans wife.
The money is needed to pay Railroad
appropriations and cancel bonds held by
III yankee masters who robbed us of
that which not enriches them
