..lEoME, SWEET MoasE.-


What delightful sensation thrills the
heart of the weary traveller who has
wandered far away from his boyhood's
home, on hearing sung the old fa.nil-
lar song, "Home, Sweet Home"
In an instant he is transported, as
it were, TO his native place-the home
Of his childhood A femily group
rises up before him; his old gray
headed father, his aged mo: her, his
brothers end sisters, and his heart
clings with f ndness to them all,
Although many years have passed
since "Sweet Home" was composed,
and first sung, yet still it is as fresh
in the hearts of the lovers of
sentimental music as it was in
days gone by; and it will continue to
be cherished, as the song best caicu-
lated to rouse the sympathies Of man
kind, and call up reco!lections of our
early days.
Sweet lIomel How many weary,
wornout mortals there are, lying upon
beds of sickness and suffcring-whose
earthly homes are no longer sweet to
them, and who look forward with
bright anticipat;ons to their home be-
yond the skies.
A few years since, says gentle
man, was travelling in the western
part of New York; and, happening to
stop in a neighborhood in which one
of our State Prisons is located. paid
the prison visit. After seeing a few
prisoners, | came upon an old gray
headed man, who has been i'm
prisoned for the crime of murder; and
indeed his looks alone seemed suffi-
Gent to condemn him. He looked at
me with positive hatred, and had it

The Agricultural Press.

Iffarmers would only consult their
better judgment they would be very
careful how and where they use the
patronage they have at their dispo-
sal, that it might not go to strength
en- the hands that are against them.
IF they once stopped to consider
such folly they would not again give
their support to papers unfriendly
or Indifferent to their interests, and
they would uphold their own aid
and insurance societies and refuse
to further furnish means to the op-
position for the obstruction of these
institutions. Once viewed in the
right light, they will gladly give
their patronage to uphold the pillars
of their own cause. A correspond
ent speaking of the agricultural
papers in the West says:
"We have a whole half score of
agricultural papers that are compe-
ting for the patronage of the farmers
of the Northwest. Nearly all of
them have given cause in the last
year for every honest farmer to re-
iect them from his list The great
est and most dangerous monopoly
except that of railroads is this insu-
rance business. The bulk of the
mortgages on western farms are
owned by eastern insurance compa-
nies (the farm across the road from
me has $1,000 plaster of that kind
on it, and these companies are ma
king strenuous efforts to break down
our town fire insurance companies
and our "aid societies" And | do
believe these companies have bought
up nearly the entire agricultural
press of the country for the purpose
of gradually breaking up the farm
companies The Western Rural,
that howls so hard against railroads,
recently had an editorial condemn
ing the farmers companies and ad-
'vising us to patronize the big east
ern concerns. This is copied into
the Kansas Farmer, the Farmers
Review, and others, with great
flourish of trumpets. But nothing
better could be expected from this
Farmers Review, as it is the espe-
cial organ of the Continental Fire
Insurance Company of New York,
gotten up on purpose to counteract
the growing interest in Farmers
Mutual Companies. They are wa
king up to the fact that if there is
not a vast amount of lying done,
and that soon. that their vast incomes
will materially shrink in the coming
years. Now when it comes to this,
that our agricultural press are sell
ing themselves out to such giant
monopoly as this, farmers had better
examine before they subscribe.
Farmers might as well know that a
majority Of the newspapers outside
our Order are hiring themselves to
the monopolies or the commercial
bulls and 'bears" of trade"

Obstacles 10 Overcome.

There will come method to arouse
thought; the sources of evil will be
discovered and attacked in their
strongholds. Are not the citadels
of illegitimate power to-day in ab-
ject fear? The Grange being a sec
ular organization, makes no preten-
sions to the miraculous power of
suddenly transforming human ma
ture from darkness to light ineffable.
1t must take human nature as it is
In the nature of things, progress in
light and truth must be slow and
gradual Many obstacles are to be
overcome. Self-love is a prominent
ingredient in human nature. Pri-
marily this is virtue; else, why the
Injunction to love thy neighbor as
thyself? But "when unbalanced
or pushed to a one sided excess" it
becomes a great vics, and when
''unrestrained or undirected by pro-
per checks and considerations, de-
generates into the heartlessn sness of
the oppressor or the grasping greed
of the mIser or speculator. This
narrow selfishness is not among the
least of the obstacles that we have
to contend against, inside the gates
as well as out side. From inordinate
self love comes jealousy; jealousy
preiudices its neighbors, breeds all
kinds of dissension, inharmony, and
trouble without limit. Self-1ove is
the main spring of ambition, that
has wrought such havoc in the hu-
man family from the beginning of
the race to the present time. The
principles, discipline and usages of
the Grange are well calculated to
modify and tame down this inordi
nate self-love and bring it under
proper restraint. Every intelligent
member knows this to be true, but
no one expects that it can be done
at once, or even to complete perfec-
ton. Bat patience and persever-
ance will accomplish wonders. That
some who do not possess these vir-
tues to an eminent degree, should
leave us, is not at all wonderful.

der in this respect is, that SO many

The Scientific Farmer says: Far
mers need more education to make
them better citizens. In their
hands rests the Well being of future
generations. It is for them to keep
the soil productive, that the crops
shall meet the requirements of what
at no distant day may be a super
abundant crowd of human beings
upon the earth, unless the Malthu-
sian remedies of war and pestilence
rush them off in sufficient numbers
to offset the present rapid increase.
However much some may decry
science and hold to the sufficiencv
of practice, they must admit that
the practice of the past has greatly
deteriorated our farming lands, and
even made some districts almost un-
inhahitable. The sewerage of cities
is fast piling up on the sea bottom
the fertility of productive soils.
This sewage question is one of vast
import China has solved it, but
her solution will not answer for our
civilization. The guano deposits of
Peru, it is said, are already falling,
though only thirty-fve years have
passed since their utilization by
other countries. All of the natural
fertilizing resources are exhaustible,
and what then? Discussion alone
might go on forever and not settle
a single point. Intelligent investi-
CATION is the only means of solving
the problem.
Thas we see the necessity for ag-
ricultural colleges. These are few
of the questions presented for their
solution. Societies can not do this
work; they hold the same relation
ship to education as societies in
other departments of life.
Schools of agriculture furnish the
best means by which to inculcate
the principles of good husbandry,
to disprove false ideas and prac-
tees, to discover the reason why
certain systems are better than
Others, and to introduce improve
ments in methods and means. Ag
ricuIture more than any other in
dustry needs special help. The
principles on which it is founded
are more difficult to understand
than those of any other art. The
causes of success and failure in
farming are most complicated, rest
ing as they do upon the subtlest and
most profound principles of chem
istry, physiology and meteorology

ming to see that the Grange is again
looming up and likely to become
more powerful than ever The New
\ ork Cotton, most excellent Jour
nal, thinks the Grange outlook in
this State very promising The Pa
irons throughout the South, how
ever, have already accomplished far
more in the direction or co-opera-
ton than our esteemed contempora-
ry seems to be aware of. Hundreds
OF CO cooperative stores on the Roch-
dale plan have been established by
members of the Order and are in
successful operation in Tennessee,
Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana,
Arkansas and Texas, and hundreds
more will be established in these
States this winter. The Patrons of
the Mississippi Valley have a Com
mission Agency in New Orleans on
the Rochdale system, and those of
Texas one in Galveston, both of
which are successful and are accom-
plishing incalculable good for the
Grange throughout the entire South.
AS soon as the cooperative prin-
ciple is more generally applied to
buying and selling, our Oranges will
give their attention to the establish
ment of Clement Attachment cotton
factories, which they will operate
on the Cooperative plan. This will
take time, but the Grange is rapidly
educating the farmers to it.

When the people of this country
are engaged in productive industry,
it must result in general prosperity.
There should be no antagonism be-
tween capital and labor. If capi-
talists make nothing, they cease to
hire, wages drop, and many become
idle. This is exactly the trouble
now, too many persons are out of
employment. There are in the
United States 100000 working
people, 1000, 900. of which are idle.
Each of these would earn on an ave
rage 5000 a year. Multiply 2,ooo,-
900 by $500, and the product,
5000, 100000, the same as sunk annu-
ally, because those who would earn
this sum are idle. Is it any wonder
we have hard times when so large
an amount of what is the same as
money is annually taken from the
national wealth? Let the producing
classes look around themselves and
study their situation. They will
find in all history no reform has
come from the higher classes, but
has always grown out OF the op
pressions of the toiling masses. As
soon as the people are fairly aroused
they will understand how the moni-
ed power grinds and oppresses
them. Then they will feel they
must move for reform, and It we all
work for reform, We are sure CT res
lief, for it is coming from the right
source,
