protests every few baskets. II the division is by
the load,he will get his landlords two loads
where the corn is nubbins, il there is such a
place on the side of the field, and take bis where
the corn is good and the ears large. They want
to feed from the field from the time the corn is
ht and keep their own account. With fodder it
is the same. We have seen the tenants loads,
with the same number OF bundles reported from
/ one-eighth to one,third larger than the land
lords.
We, by no means, say that all tenants will do
this but we do say that the share system OF let
ting land tends to educate the tenant to the idea
that he must be sure of his full share regardless
Of his landlord while natural selfshness inclines
him to take more. And if the landlord is obliged
to have his share to live, and knows when he
gets it,a key is furnished why so many tenants
change places at the end OF each year. To
man who never had an idea but that every man
was honest, it may be many years before he
will grow suspicious. But what he sees with bis
own eyes year after year and what he hears with
his own cars will ultimately convince him that it
is at least safe to use vigilance in the division OF
the products of the farm. And system which
makes men suspicious and that tends to lower
the moral standard, is bad one. This is my
first objection, and more anon.
But the grinding tendency of many landlords
is also to be considered, Some have tried to get
a living on their poor farms and could not do it,
and rent, expecting the renter to live on one
third when the three-thirds will not support hR. /
They will bind the tenant to do impossible things, |
wheu he would not thus bind himself bat for
his necessities. He must move or be turned out

ceed each other. Such plants as cabbaee. TEL
tuce endive. spipacn, leeks. lery, etc.. which
are only of annual duration, or grown for their
leaves only, should always alternate between
fruit bearing crops, those grown for their seeds,
or those grown as root crops; because these last
three are more exhausting to the soil than those
grown for their leaves. An excellent American
writer says:
Tall spinach is a good preparative crop for
beets, carrots, radishes salsaty, and all other
top.rooted and tuberous-rOoted vegetables.
Celery Or potatoes make suitable prepara-
tive for cabbage ,caulihower aud all other plants
OF that family. Also, for artichokes, asparagus,
lettuce and ouions If the soil is otherwise suited
to them.
Land that has long laid as pasture land, is
after being titled for three or four years, excel
lent Tor cabbage, turuips, aud potatoes,an then
or other garden vegetables.
/ Fibrous-rooted plants should be alternated
with oprooted and tuberous rooted plants, and
vice.versa.
Plants which produce luxuriant tops, so as to
shade the ground, should be succeeded by such
!
Plants which during their growth require fire,
quent stirring OF the earth, should precede such
as do not ADMIT OF such culture.
Ground which has been occupied by arichokes
asparagus rhubarb ,sea-kale, or such other crops
as remain long on gwen spot, should be sub'
iected to a regular rotation OF crops for as long
period as it was occupied by the permanent
crops.
No two crops should be allowed TO ripen their
seeds in succession on the same soil.
Manure SHOULD be applied TO Tie most profit

The TariT as "a Grange question.

THIS subject was discussed il a mastery anC
dispassiOnae manner in an address before the
National Grange at Washington, D. c., Nov. 21
and a resolution passed declaring discussion on
this subject as "A question Of political economy
without political bias, important and vital to
the interests Of agriculture. The salient points
OF the argument were:
l. A tax or duty is levied upon the products OF
foreign countries imported INTO this, from which
the revenues for paying the expenses of our
government are derived. Al! civilized nations
levy such a tax.
Absolute free trade would do away with all
such taxes ON foreign goods and levy direct
tax on our taxpayers to defray the expenses OF
our government. TIE argument is that land is
more easily taxed than personal property,
stocks, bonds, mortgages, ETC., as it cannot he
secreted, so the heaviest amount OF such direct
tax, it made, woull tall on the owners of real
estate, even When they are in debt for their
farms. By putting tariff or tax on imported
goods, the farmer 0 ily pays uis share of the in.
creased price, if any, and that only on the i'm.
ported goods he consumes.
To carry on the operations Of government by
direct tax, instead of by a tax on hnpouations.
would cause direct tax OF 1920 per capita of (
our population. 1t is believed that ninety per
cent Of the personal property of the country es.
capes taxation. Farmers therefore should not
be absolute iree-traders; they cannot afford it,
The grand problem with all true men is what
and, how much to tax foreign importations.
We want just discrimination. Tax to furnish
revenue, to prevent taxing our people, and at
the same time 10 afford reasonable and impar.
tial encouragement to every deserving national
industry.
The platform Of the National Grange should
be known over the land. viz:
Proper equality, equity. and fairness; pro.
lection for the weak; restraints upon the strong
justly distributed burdens and justly distributed
powers.
Legislation should not cripple any important
branch of agriculture. To do il is TO deulete a |
nations wealth, which every sensible man
knows lies in the soil. The farmers of the /
country lost SIS OOO,OOO by the reduction Of the
duty on wool by the last Congress.
Protection only to the weak is the sensible u
idea OF the National Grange, while it would Il
keep the tax on foreign impOrtatOns sufficiently {
low to hold in check the cupidity Of monopolists.
and also to prevent manufacturers from making o
such enormous profits that they can monopo.
ze tue labor OF the land by paying prices for 81

Rotation of Garden CrODs.

The rotation OF farm crops was long ago rec.
ognized as a necessity in order to produce good
crops without wearing out the soil. This neces.
sity was supposed TO arise from the plants giving
out excremeniitious matters from the roots into
the soil, and thus poisoning it for other plants.
But it has since been found that plants give out
but litle If any, Of such matters, and the neces.
sity for the rotation OF crops is due to the plants
Of any particular class exhausting the soil of
those matters which are necessary to their own
particular nourishment; no two classes of plants
requiring the same combination Of materials for
their growth. Some require lime in some form
,ar-a'ber others potash, others sulphur, others
&C., or combinations of two or more
h have a close affinity to each
olbh. to the same natural order, or re-
bther in structure or habit, should
as IN otherin cultivation. For instance,
clcauiAowers, kale, kohlrabi and tur.
fhenot follow each other. So with peas
tbrnpcumbers, melons, squashes and
,ep.rooted plants such as carrots,
Is should not follow in rotation.
A s es ,snch as asparagus, ,rhubarb, |

the natural incidents of our pro-

me from the intercourse OF my fell

again taught me to love the aspect
of nature, and the cheerful faces of
children. Excellent friend! how

ELLA WHEELER.


In golden YOUTH, when seems the earth
A summer land for singing mirth,
When souls ARE glad and hearts are light
And not shadow turks in sight,
We do not know it, but there lies
Somewhere, yelled under evening skies.
A garden all must sometimes see
Somewhere lies our Gethsemane.
With joyous steps we go our ways,
Love lends halo to the days,
Light sorrows sail like clouds afar,
We laugh and say how strong we are.
We hurry. on-and hurrying go
Close TO the border-land of woe
That waits for you and waits for me
Forever waits Gethsemane.
Down shadowy lanes, across strange
streams,
Bridged over by our broken dreams,
Behind the misty caps of years,
Close TO the great salt font OF tears,
The garden lies strive as you may,
You cannot miss it in your way,
All paths that have been or shall be
Pass somewhere through Gethsemane
All those who journey soon or late
Must pass within the gardens gate;
Must kneel alone in darkness there
And battle with some fierce despair.
God pity those who cannot say,
"Not mine but thine; and only pray,
Let this cup pass" and cannot see
The purpose in Gethsemane.
