LOOK AFTER THE IMPLEMENTS.

AS winter approaches we cannot refrain
from saying that the careful, thoughtful
farmer never allows his plows, harrows, cul-
tivators, moving and reaping machines,
hay-tedders, and other implements and ma
chinery to be exposed to the weather, or
where they can be damaged by fowls or
stock. He provides covered place for them
all where the rain and snow cannot pene-

a MYSTERY SOLVED.

10 those who We're familiar with the or
lgl' OF the American Agricultural Associa-
tIon and the antecedants of its Secretary
VINO is also editor of its Journal, it was
mystery where the funds came from to pub
llsh and distribute many thousands of copies
OF lts second issue, containing Hon. Edward
Atklnson's article, The Railroad and the
Farmer" General Diven. President of the
New York State Farmers Alliance. in an
article published in the Elmira Husbananaan,
limited at the source from which the funds
were derived. but the mystery is now clear
ed up by the direct statement contained in
an answer to Mr.. Atkinson's article by Hon
l.. E. Crittenden, that it was paid for by the
railroads. 1t has been known for some time
that the railroads maintain literary bureau
in New York City, from whence sophistcal
ond speciously written articles in their favor
have been sent out to the country press, but
it is new thing for them to try to capture
agricultural associations. At a recent meet
ing OF the Bedford Farmers Club, it was
publicly stated that the american Agricul-
tural Association" was being run for the
benefit OF private interests, and it now ap-
pears that Mr.. Reall, the Secretary and edi-
tor, has acted as salesman for Mr. Francis
d. Moulten, who Is in the salt trade. Mr..
Moulton, Mr.. Reall and two Of their New
York friends constitute feur out OF the tive
trustees. The names of Mr.. Reall and Mr..
Moulton appear as directors. and that of
Mr.. Moulton as chairman of the Finance
Committee; while Mr.. McLaren, OF 81
Greenwich street, New York, friend of
Mr.. Moulton, is put down as treasurer. 1t
would be interesting to know how often
the other gentlemen whose names appear
as director and vice-presiden,s have attend
ed meetings of the association. and whether
special rates on Mr. Moulton's salt, as we'll
as railroad funds to ran the Journal, have
had anything to do with the strong bias in
favor of railroads which pervades the ed-
tOrial articles in the journal of the Amer.
can Agricultural Assocation.' The estima
Bile gentlement, whose names appear in the
list of directors and members, cannot a ford

OATMEAL.

\
The consumption Of oatmeal in this coun-
try, says the american Grocer, has reached
large dimensions. Not many years ago it
was only used as an article of luxury, but
now thousands of American families have
oatmeal on their breakfast tables, witt, as
much regularity as they dc potatoes That
It is desirable and healthful food no one
can doubt, and large as is the amount con-
sumed, il is destined to become still more
popular. -
The oatmeal OF Scotland has always en-
joyed the reputation of being the best in
the world, owing more to the quality Of the
oats produced than to skill in manutactur-
ing. The Scotch cat is 'pre-emfnent for
plumpness of form thinness Of skin, and
absence OF moisture and discoloration.
Where the soil is too rich the growth of
oats runs largely to straw and the kernel is
thin and covered with thick husks On
moderate soil oats give better return, there
being less straw and more fully developed
kernels. In many parts IF our country the
condition Of the soil is becoming more fit
ted to the production OF superior oats, and
many of our local factories are making ex-
cellent qualities of oatmeal. @@
The first operation in the manufacture Of
the meal is the removing from the oats all
cookie, small oats and foreign seeds Of what
ever kind, for if any of these remain the
quality Of the meal is much injured Black
oats, even if of good quality, give bad ap-
pearance to the manufactured meal. as it
appears in the form of black particles, which
to the tidy housewife appears to be some
thing much more uncleanly. After the oats
have been properly cleaned by sitting, they
are next subjected to the operation of dry
ing. This is accomplished in dry kilns,
with special apparatus constructed for the
purpose. This operation requires some care
to prevent the oats from burning. 4aa.@ 81
AS soon as sufficiently dry, they are re-
moved from the kiln while still verv hot.
and stored in such way as to have them
retain their heat; after thus remaining tor
three or four days, and hardening, they are
ready for the shelling operation. This she'll
ing is accomplished by passing the oats
through millstones of a special pattern. The
product that comes from the stones is groats
or the whole kernels, dust, seeds, etc., and
these must be separated. By. means of a
combination OF sieves and fans the groats
are separated srom the other material, and
are then ready for grinding. For extra
quality OF meal the oats may again be she'll
ed, and also passed through brushing ma
chine. The grinding o. them must not be
long delayed. as sew weeks exposure rem
ders them unfit for milling. In grinding
the groat the great aim is to avoid pulver-
zation, and to have The granules cut square
and of uniform size. Oatmeal is generally
denominated by the cut, as pinhead cut,
rough cut, medium and fine cut, though
these terms have different meanings in diff
terent districts. After the grinding, the
meal is passed through sieves, and the sift-
ings graded according to size.

MORTGAGES ON FARMS.

1t has become the fashion to complain of
farmers for having mortgages on their farms.
and to speak of farm mortgages as if they
were the great ''mill-stone' around their
necks, dragging them and their interests
deeply down. There is no doubt but that
debt is bad thing in many respects but it
is nevertheless true that it is only by debt
that vast number of people, farmers and
others, manage to get along in the world.
Indeed, it is not SO much the mortgage debt
as it is the man who contracts it. that makes
all the difference as to whether such mort
gage is good or bad thing. II man is
in position to do profitable farming bus
iness, and that profit is surely ten, fifteen or
twenty per cent of his work over every con-
tingency, why should he not take piece of
land which does not belong to him, but on
which he will have to pay the legal interest?
The property does not belong to the man
who gives the mortgage; he simply has the
use fit, and the mortgage papers which he
simply acknowledgements that he has given
nothing to the extent of that amount which
he is using. 1t is simply saying, Il am
using other peoples property, which bind
myself honestly to return" If he cannot
make out Of it what he expected to make.
and has no other sourse from which to
make up his loss, the proper owner, of
course, takes 1t back. The matter is about
where it WAS at first, except the portion
sunk in labor ); for if due care has been
taken in the purchase in the first instance,
the property should bring enough to pay
the mortgage Indebtedness aud leave sur
plus besides so that in course of time the
mortgage is wiped out. ...,. ..........
A mortgage is only fearful thing when
a man has to place his own property in this
in order to raise money to pay
other losses. He goes in debt to store or
other institution, and at paying time finds
he has spent all the money for other things.
The debt must be paid, and he mortgages
the farm to pay tor what has already been
spent. A man who has to do this is unfor-
tunate. But it is not the mortgage which is
all wrong. If there was no such thing as
a mortgage, he would have to sell the farm
outright to pay the debt. The mortgage is
rather blessing. If he is really an unfor-
unate, and not simply ''ne'er da well, it
gives him the opportunity of redeeming
himself before the last resort of breaking
up his home aud turning his family out of
loors. AS general rule. if he is the man
le ought to be. ho can redeem himself. All
,e has to do is to spend only ninety cents
when he earns dollar.
In all large cities and business centers the
and is mainly held only on mortgage. In
he city of New York real estate is worth
lbout eight hundred million dollars; but
he recorders office shows that against this
here is mortgage claim of toar hantlred
one-half of the whole. When to
his is added the vast city debt of New York
which is practically mort gage on the real
state also, we can understand how little
is the debt of the farmer. OF

A long legal contest at Holland,
Conn.,, has ended in the breaking
of will because the testator was q
Spiritualist. Calvin Hall was for
the twenty-three yeare preceding
his death q firm believer in spirit
ualism. He built two meeting
houses for congregations OF that
faith, and his conduct was largely
controlled, as he declared, by spir-
its, some OF whom came to him
visibly and audibly, while others
communicated through mediums.
In other matters he was not pc.
culiar, and he did not rely on all
the supernatural advice which he
received, for he believed that many
spirits were liars and fools; but he
followed the directions of several of
these gh0stly counsellors implicit.
