toilor for his labor or not. But rail
roads have favors to bestow. Here
is where the farmers can make
themselves felt. And here is where
the Alliance can secure reform. But
the farmers are apathetic and in
stead of uniting, as all other classes
do, they pull apart and the willy
party hack sows distrust and suspi-
cion of each other and winds up
by telling the poor dupes that far
mers are incapable of legislation, or
managing their own concerns when
living, and when dead their wills
are ripped open and the property of
their widows and orphans is seized
upon as the lawful spoil of the crew
of parasites that these very men
fostered into existence. Is it not
singular that, with all the shrewd-
ness and educational facilities the
average farmer possesses, he can
become the dupe and victim of such
a crew of parasites, and see his hard
earnings pilfered from him without
a single effort to secure his God
given rights?

We regret to learn from the fol-
lowing paragraph, which we take
from the St. Louis journal of 1g-
riculture, that Missouri's great
Grange leader, Worthy Master Esh
baugh, met with a serious accident
a few days ago. We hope he will
soon recover from its effects and be
able to resume active worn:
GA postal from Bro. w. E. B.,
Sullivan county, Mo, informs US
that Worthy Master Eshbaugh was
thrown from a buggy on the 2Ist
inst, in going from Sullivan to Put
nam county, and will have to retire
from the field in consequence for
the present and until fully recruited.
The extent of his injuries is not
stated, but we presume they are not
serious. AS the Worthy Master is
hard TO cripple and harder still to
kill, he will doubtless be all right
again in few days"

share and half moldboard, attached
to the strong wooden frame. This
was soon followed by several i'm
provements, such as boiler-iron
moldboard and separate share-a
steel moldboard and share and a
cast-iron moldboard and share, chill
ed to intense hardness and highly
polished. The last improvement
which we record is the sulky pIow
made of steel and attached to a two
wheeled vehicle on which the plow-
man rides and controls both his
plow and team. We no longer "fol-
low the plow," but merely ride with
it. The sulky plow is well adapted
to our prairies and fields that are
free from stumps and other obstruc-
tions. This may be regarded as the
advanced point to which plow i'm
provement has attained, and yet'sre
plow is not perfect. AT the ten
tennial exhibition if was evident
that the United States was in ad-
vance of all other nations in the i'm
proved construction of the plow.

me title and | will give you so
and SO for it. Il you refuse to do
this, I'll go to congress and have a
law made to compel all such people
as you to do as we say. We have
the reins of government in our
hands and we Vanderbilts and
Goulds will do as we like. Here is
your money, sir. Now you can
stay on this land and cultivate it, by
binding yourselves to pay the taxes
on it and pay us so much rent, and
you must cultivate it well, and if you
make anything over and above

for it; as for the rent it must be
paid"
These things are too plainly seen
to be denied; and let me say to all
honorable men and women who la
Dor for their living, to you our
Grange doors are open. Will you
not come in and aid in the great
work? Give US your assistance and
we will soon stop the cries of heavy
burdens and unjust taxation and we
will have free-trade, free ballot,
equal taxation and especial privile-
ges to none. w. J BEAsLEY.

Of course we have as vet no such
figures to show in this country.
/ There are CO operative stores, and
they are generally successful-that
is, they do not fail, and they declare
small dividends. But there is no
such system, with its wholesale
centres and vast net work of retail
stores here as in England. The
stores are few and the shareholders
are apt to be so scattered that they
do not always find it convenient to
trade at the store in which they
hold shares. A cooperative store
which was started in Boston with
capital of $4,000, raised by the issue
of shares, has found its trade suffer
ing from this cause, and is about to
double its capital and accommodate
all its members by keeping both
large central store and several
branch stores. A cooperative gro
Gerry store in Newark, opened last
November, store in Brooklyn and
one in Auburn, New York, are re-
ported prosperous.
Probably several reasons COM
bine to retard the cooperative
movement in this country. For one
thing, times are good; money is
plenty and people are not forced to
consider the most economical way
of living. They do not fully under
stand the advantages of the system,
and the cooperative stores are not
numerous enough and strong
enough to demonstrate them.
In this. as in all other business
enterprises, nothing succeeds but
success, and with the efforts now
making to establish wholesale
stores, and to organize all the socie
ties in the country in one broad and
efficient union, the time is probably
not far distant when cooperative
stores will be as popular and as
prosperous in this country as abroad.

The PlOW.

The plow of to-day, the Indiana
Farmer says, is development, and
has an interesting history. The
Greek held that man invented the
sword and spear, but plow was a
gift from the gods. Their myth re-
lates that Ceres, the daughter of
Saturn and Rhea, was instructed by
her son-in- law, Pluto, in the mys-
teries of agriculture. He gave her
a plow and taught her how to use
it; and he gave her seed wheat ad,
apted to all climates. She gave
Triptolemus, her trusty servant, her
own chariot and two dragons as =
team, and sent him out into all
countries to distribute seed and to
teach the people how to use the
plow. In homer of this event the
Greek held an annual feast, sacred
to Ceres and the plow. But centu-
ries before the Hellenists had colo
nized Greece, the Egyptians used
the plow and cultivated wheat and
barley, as we learn from inscrip
tions on surviving monuments. But
the plow of the Greeks was a
very rude implement. 1t was merely
forked stick-one branch cut
shorter than the other and properly
sharpened, or sometimes pointed
with iron or bronze. Among the
Hebrews this was triangular plate
of iron bolted on the foot of the
plow so as to be nearly horizontal.
This is that which is called a plow-
share in Isaiah ii, 4. The oxen or
asses were hitched to the longer
branch or fork, and the main trunk
was dressed to serve as handle.
Virgil the Roman poet, in the first
book of the Georges. directs how
to bend the growing elms so as to
give each branch the proper shape
for its place in the plow. But he
speaks of moldboard attached
above the share and so carved as to
turn the furrow. The Romans also
invented the coulter, which was
merely a heavy knife attached to
the beam, which cuts the sod and
roots and opened line for the
heavy plow shank to follow. 1t has
been generally admitted that the use
of domestic animals for draft
preceded the introduction of the
plow into every country; but ac-
cording to Prescott, the Peruvians
used a plow made of stake of hard
wood, properly pointed and held by
the plowman at an angle of As de-
grees. To this was attached rope,
by which five or six men drew il
through the ground.
But little improvement was made
in the plow till near the close OF
the sixteenth century, when a
plow with a wooden frame and
moldboard, and a wrought iron
share and coulter, was in use in Ger
many and France. In 1920 plows
with wrought-iron mouldboards,
forged by hand, were made in Eng
land, but they were too expensive
to come into general use In f74o
cast-iron moldboards were made in
Scotland and in 1855 cast share
was patented in England. In 1875
Thomas Jefferson wrote an elabo-
rate essay on the proper shape and
construction of a moldboard, and in
1904 David Peacock patented a
plow having the moldboard and
| Landslide made of ast-iron. These
plows came slowly into use in New
York, Pennsylvania and New Jer-
sey, but they were too expensive
for small farmers, About the year

We had very peasant visit this
week from Bros. J. c. Williams, of
Double Springs Grange, Oktibbeha
county, Miss, and E. M. Franks, of
Powell Grange, in this county.
Both of these earnest Patrons, whose
Oranges have cooperative stores in
successful operation, and which are
steadily gaining in numbers and
strength, gave us most cheering
news of the Grange outlook in their
respective localities. 1t is just such
hard working Patrons as these that
are building up the Grange all over

successful farmers, and have learned
by experience the absolute necessity
ofsuch an organization as theGrange

Farmers VS.. Lawyers for Legis-
IatiOm.

Editor Journal of Agriculture:
The times demand radical change
in the Legislative branch of our gov
ernment, and as the lawyers have
proved themselves the very worst
element to represent the people and
to make the laws necessary for the
protection of the rights of the citi-
zen, it is full time that the farmers
should take control of the govern
ment and restore it to its original
purity. This is primarily the object
of the Farmers Alliance, to secure
an honest presentation of the far
mers as class. Our laws, as at
present administered, are a bundle
of absurd contradictions, made SO
purposely to foster and encourage
litigation. This is not to be won
dered at, as they are framed by a
set of lawyers for this purpose. The
plain farmer or business man cannot
draw up plain note of hand or an
| . u without meeting with some
shrewd provision to pay the lawyer
framed by both parties. Even the
poor mans little homestead is sac
rificed to the greed of the legal fra
ternity, and mortgages, liens and tax
titles cover half the homesteads in
the land. The farmers are the only
class in society that can correct these
evils. From their numbers they
can control all parties, provided
they manhood and independence to
act together.
The farmers in the late National
Labor Convention, held at Marshall
town, Iowa, made themselves felt,
and secured the nomination of two
farmers, one for Governor and the
other for Lieutenant Governor.
Now, if the farmers in the other
parties will act together in their
conventions, they can secure sim
liar result. But the political leaders
in the leading parties hold control
of the situation and none but old
hacks are brought forward-one a
chronic office holder, who some
time since sent circulars to all the
county boards to raise the assess
ments on land to the full cash value.
Not word about raising the prop
ertv of corporations, for instance
railroads. As sample, one rail
road was assessed at $Io,2 200 per
mile. This included road bed,
track, side tracks, stations, ware
houses, watertanks, workshops, To-
comotives, the hundreds of passen-
ger and freight cars, besides the
supplies on hand and all other ap-
paratus and equipments. Now, il
was all right to raise the value OF
the farms and require 'the pound
of fiesh' whether there was return
of crops or anything to pay the

COLUMBUS, MISS.

While the farmers of this State
are devoting their attention exclu-
sively to their private affairs and en-
joying the pleasures of home life,
there is one of their class who is
giving his entire time, travelling in
all kinds of weather and deliverinp
public speeches almost daily, to the
upbuilding oftheir organization-an
organization whose success and eff
cheney are SO essential to the pro-
motion and protection of their per-
sonal and class interests. That far
mer is Put. Darden, Master of the
Mississippi State Grange. To-day,
he is with the farmers of Kinds
county; next week, he will be with
those of Madison and Leake. and for
many weeks he will be engaged in
this most laborious work, moving
from county to county, exhorting his
brother farmers to stand firm by
their organization, and to assert and
enforce their right to perfect equal
ity with other classes. When the
members of the Order and the far
mers generally learn to appreciate
the great value and importance of
Worthy Master Darden's patriotic
efforts in behalf of their cause-and
this they will do when they give the
matter serious consideration-thev
will turn out by thousands to see
and hear him.

San Francisco is experiencing a
wave of commercial depression
which is swamping private for
tunes and corporations. The assess
ment books for the last two years
show that the community is actually
$33,ooo,ooo poorer to-day than it
was in 1879. Millionaires of the
'7os are on the streets trying to bor-
row money, and nobody seems to
have any to lend. The prosperity
of San Francisco was built upon
sand at its best. 1t consisted in
great part of the advance in specu-
lative mining stock, and conse-
quently it is subject to panics and
crises which do not effect capital
east of the great divide. With the
bottom knocked out of the mining
business and locked in the embrace
of the giant monopolists who con-
troll every market and dictate to
every producer, the future of the
Golden State is indeed gloomy.
