Premature Reading.

When I was young / remember
my father, from a conscientious
feeling, | suppose, that he ought
to do something positive for my
mental and moral sood and gener-
al esthetic cultivation, made me
learn Pope's ..Messiah" by heart,
and a number OF other master
pieces of the same character. He
might Just as well have tried to
feed sucking baby on roast beef
and Scotch ale! Without under
standing word Of it, | learned
the .Messiah" by rote. and / have
hated Ii, and its author too, from
that day to this, ami | hate them
now. So also | remember well
when I was boy OF from ten to
fourteen-for / was considerable
devourer OF books--being melted
to read Hume's "History of Eng
land" and Robertson's "Charles
". - and Gibbons Rome" even,
and / am not sure / might not
add Milford's Greece" L can't
now say 1t was time thrown away;
but it was almost that. The first
thing In trying to stimulate love
for reading is to be careful not to
create disgust by trying to do too
much. The great masterpieces Of
human research, and eloquence,
and fancy, are to boys pure null
sance. They can't understand
them can't appreciate them If
they do. When they have grown
up to them, and are ready for
them, they will come to them of
their own accord. Meanwhile,
you can't we'll begin too low down.
The intellectual like the physical
food of children, can't well be too
simple, provided only II is healthy
and nourishing. Charles n i'd

You ask me to give you list OF
the few really important writer's
the world has produced, and

epoch In the history of the human
mind. Such q list will necessarily
be extremely short, and / shall
make 1t shorter by striking out Of
it the great physical and mathem-
atical works because the truths in
them are so cumulative that the
latest works are usually the best.
With this reservation | will now
mention what | think the most
important and original writer's.

THE BENEFITS OF CO-OPERA
TION

The benefits accruing from co-opratOn
in making purchases ofgoods of all kinds
in selling and distributing them, have been
largely realized in the Rochdale system
of conducting union stores. In ENGLAND
millions Of dollars have been saved to the
laboring classes by the introduction and
application of this system to the purposes
of buying and selling. So far as the Roch'
dale plan of managing union stores has
been carried out in this country IT has
with great uniformity, proved a success
To the degree that this system has been
modified or deviated from, to that extent
it has, SO far as our observation has gone
proved failure.
Our advice to all contemplating the
establishment of cooperative stores is TO
move slow; to stud, we'll the principles
on which such unions are to be conducted
and above all to adhere firmly to the safe
principle of selling, under all circumstaD
ces, for cash. Whatever failures have beer
made in cooperative unions can in mint
cases out of ten be traced directly or ind
rectly to the baneful effects of the "credi
system" No farmer, no laboring class p
persons, can afford to make purchases
what they daily consume on credit They
cannot afford to trade with any person,
buy at any store, without making thef
payment, cash in hand, or with cas-,
equivalent. No trader can afford to SCI
his goods on credit. He Injuries himsp
by so doing and he Injuries his customen
We recommend to those who purpoS
the establishment of union stores to pH'
chase and read the "History of Cooper
ton in England from 1886" by 6. no.
yoake, London. We presume the won
is for sale at the bookstores in our argt
cities. This volume impresses upon Us
friends of cooperation the need OF exc.
utive talent, and the resolute adherence
safe principles, such as never selling uPO'
credit. The book abounds also in llIOs
trative facts. Take this: "The cOtO'
scarcity caused by the rebellion was e.
pected to crush cooperative societies. D"
Mr.. Miner Gibson's parliamentary :,
turns show that the societies increased :,
that time to 454. The profits made by
societies were one million of dollars, ans
this in the third year of the great cow
scarcity! 1t may therefore be concluusS1
that cooperation has established for iss~
a place firm and immovable among the%
cial forces of society."-.Sb,rH Of KSS'N4

"THE TEXAS FARMER"

We have received the second number
of this journal which is published semi
monthly at Bolton, Bell county, Texas, by
Messrs. w. p. Hancock & Go. It con-
tains forty columns and is beautifully
printed-a credit to the cause and the
great State it represents. AS its name in
dicates, ''The Farmer" is an agricultural
journal, devoted exclusively to the Farm
and the Grange. We hope to see this
new and most promising representative
of the farming interests widely circulated
The Editor, Brother W. P. Hancock, is
an able, forcible writer, bold and fear
less advocate of what he believes to be
right, and one of the truest and most
earnest Patrons in the land. Few men in
Texas have rendered the Grange more
important service; he has represented the
Oranges of his county at several meetings
of the State Grange, and always with a
zeal and fidelity to the best interests of the
cause that gave him great weight in that
body. 1t was mainly to his efforts that the
State Grange at the recent session, was
relieved from connection with political
journal that had caused great dissatisfaction
in the Order throughout the State, and for
this service alone he deserves the recog-
milton and support ofthe farmers ofTexas.
"The Farmer" is sound to the core on all
the great questions involved in our great
movement and we earnestly hope its sue
cess will be full and complete. We vel
come our good brother to the editorial
ranks with sincere pleasure.
The patron of husbandry. (Columbus, Miss.) 1875-1883, 1880-02-28

We invite the attention of those who
desire to engage in Wooden manufacturing
to the advertisement of the sale of a Fac
tory on the Mobile and Ohio railroad be-
tween DeSoto and Quitman, in this State
The machinery, buildings and $50 acres
of land are very valuable, and any one de.
string to invest in such an enterprise
should give it immediate attention. A
"new process cotton factory could be
very easily attached to this factory, as the
steam power is amply sufficient. This
property will be sold at public sale on the
9TH of April next, but we can secure il
to a purchaser before that time at private
sale. We will cheerfully answer letters
of inquiry.

THOROUGHBRED CATTLE.

The farmers of the South are giving
great attention to the mprovement of their
stock, and in no department has this in
creased interest been more marked than
in that of Short Horn Cattle. Large
numbers have been brought to the South
from Kentucky and Tennessee during the
past five years, adding immensely to the
to the wealth of our section. In this con-
nection we desire to direct the attention
of the reader to the card in this paper of
Brother H H. Lovelace, of Como, Henry
county, Tennessee who. has one of the
largest and finest herds of Short Horn
Cattle in that State; and we advise all who
desire to purchase the best to write to him
for his prices. He has been engaged in
stockbreeding for many years, and his
Short Horn Cattle have a wide reputa-
tiopI Being a true, earnest Patron, OF
course he is thoroughly reliable.

Please announce to the Secretaries of
Oranges in Georgia-that blanks for

" to them for each quarter. Should they
fail TO fill out same and return-then no
blanks are sent to them for next quarter.
Why? Because it is presumed they have
the blanks and can consolidate two re-
ports in one. Should secretaries OF
Oranges IN existence fail to receive
blanks for quarters subsequent to the one
for which they have reported, let them
notify, by postal card.
