Garfield's Speech to the Jubilee
Singers.

A few days since, the jubilee singers from
the Fiske University in Nashville, Tenn,
finding themselves within few miles of
General Garfield's residence, took carriages
and made him a call. They sang several
pieces, and as they were about to take their
departure, they turned toward General Gar
field and sang an impressive benediction, in
these words:
The Lord be with you; the Lord guard
and preserve you; the Lord lift up his coun-
tenance upon you and give you peace
There was silence for a time as the music
died away. Then General Garfield, who had
stood by the mantle with bowed head, spoke
to the band of singers very earnestly and
solemnly, saying:
'My friends, for my family and myself l
thank you for the songs you have sung.
While l have listened a thought has come to
me which may encourage you. voice has
gone forth before every great good that was
ever achieved in this world. A voice in the
wilderness was the herald of our Savior In
the war for the Union the thunder of our
guns on a thousand battlefelds was the voice
that prepared the way for the liberty that
came to your race. Now, friends, the earth
ly Saviour of your people must be universal
education; and l believe that your voices
are preparing for the coming of that blessing.
You have sung great university into being.
You have sung before kings and princes.
You have sung to the meek and the lowly
You have sung to the hearts of your people,
and hope and believe that your voices are
heralding the great liberation which educa-
ton will bring to your lately enslaved breth-
rem. You are fighting for light and for the
freedom it brings; and in that contest
would rather be with you and defeated than
against you and victorious. In the language
of the song you have just sung, l say to you,
March on, and you shall win the victory
you shall gain the day"

suggestions with regard TO the cult
Vatlon and use Of roots. And first
bear in mind that hundred and GfLy
poundsof beet tops are equal. for fall
ieedIhg, to hundred pounds Of the
best meadow hay. There is q great
difference between growing beets for
sugar and bects for cattle; in the
former case it is the chief aim Of the
producer to exclude all the nitrogen
! possible, while in the latter il is dc.
sirabIc that the plant store up the
largest possible amount Of this Gle
mcnt.
Thcntore, beets for feeding pur-
poses should be grown on heavier
land, or that containing more organic
matter, and giving all the nitrogen
eous food they will assimiate.
Notwithstanding opinions to the
contrary. | do not believe in cooking
roots for horned cattle. The animals
relish the raw vegetables best. The
amount OF woody fibre is 20 small. and
the elements Of nutrition are all 80
soluble and readily taken up bv the
system, that the increased nutfitiye
qualI;Ie, OF the food, if they exist,
VIII not nearl Y compensate for the
increased cost Of feeding. An acre
OF land that will produce three tons
OF hay will grow twenty tons Of
beets and when it is remembered that
three hundred pounds Of sugar beets
are the nutritive equivalent for one
hundred pounds Of meadow hav it
VIII be seen that an acre Of beets
furnishes more than twice as much
nourlshment as does an acre Of hav.
and that the nutriment furnished bv
them Is in the cheapest form. But a.
1t Is not natural for the animal to take
the bulk Of its food in this condition. il
thrlve- best when receiving portion in
the form Of hay or fodder Aside
from the nutriment they contain, the
effect OF roots on the condition of the
animal Is 80 salutarv that this alone
would repay the farmer for never at
tempting to winter his stock without
roots sufficient to supply hi. animals
with frequent meals Of from one 10
three pccks Of cut roots each. And.
If such an allowance was given them
every day, their owner would be am
ply rewarded.
Though fear the statement con-
tilcts with some generally-received
ideas, | am convinced that if not car
ried 10 excess, roots are the most
profitable winter food for cattle: that
among them the sugar beet stands
first: next TO it comes the mangel-
wurzcl; and for feeding purposes the
po ato, even were it not visited by
blight, rot, or Colorado beetle, could
never be probably grown. 1t is
fact beyond controversy, that the
most successful agricultural districts
are those where the most attention is
given TO these products. Though
our farmers are giving the sobts-ss~
more thought every year, believe
that vastly increased acreage is
essential to their greatest success, and
that the cultivation Of this crop is a
necessary accompaniment to high and
successful farming.
