uSSECEssARY DELAY.

Vessel owners complain that the. tugmen on
the Sault St. Mary detan vessels rhera till they
rct several together in o tow. 1t Is said in-
stances have occurred where vessel was
obliged to wait three or four days because tho
tug managers declined to take q single tow
through. No reduction is made IN towing
charges on account OF the delay, which appears
to be done merely to lessen little the expense
or the tugs. Vessel men say time is too precious
to be wasted In rhis way, and want d remedy II
this sort Of thing Is to be practced all the seu-

work to do up there. Pcrhnps Chicago could

DOrTs7aat Oranges,

From the report of the Commit
tee on Dormant Oranges adopted
by the National Grange at its last
session we quote:
eve would offer the following as
among the means, that if properly
applied, will, we believe, and once
more make active, progressive and
prosperous Oranges of many now
dormant.
"Grange papers as a means Of
education, a prevention and cure Of
dormant Oranges, these are among
the most valuable. A dormant
Grange, where a dozen or more
Grange papers are read, is among
the things that might almost be
called impossible. Encouraging
their circulation by al! proper
means, and good will result
"Thus we find that we must first
organize, then educate; and last
and most important of all, every
member of this Order must B,
taught to work to put into practice
the lessons learned. Success vii
| never come without it."
The patron of husbandry. (Columbus, Miss.) 1875-1883, 1880-10-30
How the Farmers Can Advance
their Interests.

If merchants, lawyers, doctors,
preachers, teachers, workingmen,
and all other classes can be benefited
through an organization in their
own interests, so can the farmer.
If they thus become better posted
about their own business, so can the
farmer. If they thus are better
able to protect all their rights and
interests, so can the farmer. IF they
can thus secure legislation in their
own behalf, so can the farmer. If
they can thus receive benefits edu-
cational, social and financial, so can
the farmer. An individual farmer
is able, to a certain extent, to ad-
vance and protect his own interests,
but strength united is made strong
err" A farmer can ''paddle his own
canoe" but it is slow way of trav.
cling in these days of floating pala.
ces and ocean steamers. A farmer
can, with ak, spade and pick, cut
his own road to market, but united
strength builds the railroad. A
farmer can worship God or educate
his children in his own house, but
united strength builds the church
and the school>house. A farmer
can, like the barons of old, protect
his own castle from those who
The patron of husbandry. (Columbus, Miss.) 1875-1883, 1880-10-30

would pillge and destroy, but
united stretgth raises the strong
arm of the aw in his defense. Ev-
erything ofany Importance, every
great undertaking in these days IS
accomplished through united
strength. Let the farmer then, who
in numbers exceed all other classes
combined, a3opt this long-tried and
proven plan; let him no longer
fight his battles single handed and
alone; let him unite his strength
with his ndghbors, and they with
the other fsrmers of the country,
then with hose of the State and
the Nation, and this great class that
feeds and sustains all other classes
and callings viii not only protect
and advance its own interests, but
will build up all others, even the
Nation ITSELF, for all history teaches
that just in the proportion that agrl.
culture is protected or depressed
does the Nation advance or decline

The Successful Farmer.

| had occasion to visit him the
other day, or at least to visit a man
who is said to be very successful
farmer had always heard him
spoken of as such, and had often
heard that he had commenced his
life in Michigan with nothing, and
had accumulated and got at interest
a full 100000. Of caurse under
these circumstances, his success
could not be questioned.
AT the time of my visit he was
Frustrated by sickness. On attempt
ing to enter at the front door,

steps to get over an abrupt rise of
about four feet, but | followed a
path to the wood-shed door and
thence to the living room of the
house. The yard by the house was
open and accessible to the cattle o.
the farm-yard, and was apparently
frequented by them. Inside the
house | did not observe any news
paper for the family reading. Three
books lay nearat hand, one of which
had the outside appearance of being
much in use. In the course of my
conversation, / had the curiosity to
pick up this book and open it; it
proved to be an interest computing
book. [ found, in talking with the
man, that his mind had become en-
tirely engrossed with money-mak-
ing, at the expense of all other con-
siderations. | must say that when
