Devil with devil damned
In close recess and secret conclave sits.
Milton evidently was prophetic of the
present time in San Francisco, when the
cross, crown and sword, instruments Of
robbery, rapine and slaughter deck the
streets of this city in honor Of band Of
assembled bandits composed of the
flower Of the capitalistic loafng class.
These men who, for some secret purpose
launt themselves in our faces under the
name Of an infamous military order that
was extinct ages before their own par
ticular abortion was founded in opposi-
ton to labor and in aid Of the bourgeoisie,
smack too much of monarchy for those
who love popular government. Their
organization even sustains itself by a
fraud. IT pretends to be Masonry, when
it really is not. It also assumes to repre-
sent the nobleness, chivalrousness and
ideal perfection of the human races 1t

CATION of all that is great and true in
humanity. ter.
But it does so falsely. 1t follows not
in the footsteps of the loftiest men of the
earth. Itgives to Plato, Socrates, Buddha
or Christ but the merest lip-service. It
outrages and robs the poor, it luxuriates
in the stolen products of their labor, it
decks itself with crowns and crosses and
gems and jewels, and it fortifes itself in
its barbarous castle of iniquitY by moat
and fosse of war, slavery, property and
rank. .E 4
The true heroes of the world are those
great and heroic spirits that these ras-
calls have banded themselves against.
The true Knights of Holy Sepulchre are
the men who have abandoned rank and
wealth, who have spurned gold and
titles, who have gone out from the easy
places into the great rugged, miserable
world, there to preach to the poor---to
the workers-the ever-new doctrines OF
liberty, equality and fraternity. .1,

whom the aristocrats impose public con-

Live Cattle Weight by Measure.

The only instrument necessary is meas
ure with feet and inch marks upon it.
The girth is the circumference of the an-
NAL, just behind the shoulder blades. The
superficial feet are obtained by multiplying
the girth and length. The following are
the rules to ascertain the weight of the ami
mal
II less than one foot in grth, multiply
superficial feet by eight.
If less than three and more than one ,mul-
tiply superficial feet by eleven.
If less Il an 5 and more than 8, multiply
superficial feet by sixteen.
II les than seven and more than FIVE,
multiply superficial feet by twenty-three.
If less than nine and more than seven
multiply superficial feet bv lorty-two.
Example Suppose the girlh Of II bullock
be six ieet three inches; length, five feet
six inches the superficial area will then be
thirty. four, and in ace 'rdance with the pre-
ceedng tahle,the weight will be seven hun
dred and eighty two pounds.
Example; Suppose pig to measure in
girth two feet, aud length one foot nIne
inches. There would then be three and a
half feet, which multiplied by eleyen, gives
thirty eight and a halfPounds as the weight
of the animal when dressed. In this way
the weight Of the four quarters can be sub
stantially ascertained during life,

Interesting and Valuable Results.

The experiments with Indian Corn at
Houghton Farm, as so far reported, show
1st. How such work ought to be COM
menced--the general uniformity of the soil
proved BY examination and by raising crops
without man2re. The land is accurately
laid off into fifth acre plots, two rods wide,
underdrained by tile drain through the
center OF each and accessible at the lower
end for examination Of the drainago..waters.
I'd. How it should be conducted so that
all the plots and all parts of each plot should
be subjected to the same in nfluences-plowed
at the same time, narrowed at the same
time, planted the same day, titled the same
time, and so on, to the harvesting, and
husking, and storing, the plan being to sub
ject each plot to precisely tho same infuen-

4th. 1t is clearly shown that manures
affect the amount Of moisture found IN the

the bushel of the same kind OF corn does
Eot depend altogether upon its dryness, as
usually supposed, but IN measure upon
its compsctness, which is influenced by
the relations of the soil to moisture and
mannres.
The curious development or fertility by
drainage alluded to, occurred in this way ::
Some years ago portion Of the ground now
occupied by the experimental plots was
used to test certain commercial fertilizers.
No effect of these fertilizers was observed
upon the crops of 1878, when they were ap-
piled, nor in 1879, but in 1880, after the
drains were put IN, q marked effect was Wis
iblc, which was also noticeable in the crops
of 1881. This clearly indicates, either that
by means of the drainage the roots oi the
plants were aLle 10 penetrate deeper into
the soil, and SO had iaccess to elements Of
fertility which had sunk beyond their reach,
or that the suil through the effects Of drain
age was able to draw up moisture with
whatever Of fertility it might hold in solu,
ton, from lower depth than bofore,or both
of these causes might have contributed to
the increased crops over this area.-Agricul-

FARMERS COLUMN.
Shall We try Market- Gardening !


Every season furnishes its crop OF unsuc-
cessful merchants, or mechanics, who ask
our agricultural editors If market garden
ing does not pay large profits, and if there
is not good chance in this business for an
industrious man to better his condition.
Judging by the high prices the average citi-
zen pays for his vegetables in the large
cities, il seems to him that there must be
money in raising vegetables. II he could
remove to the country say within an hours
ride, he could attend to his city business
without loss OF time, and by hiring a good
gardener, he could haYe cheaper vegetables
and fruits, and add something to his IN
come by sending the surplus to market
Nothing looks more feasible on paper; moth
ing is more delusive in practice. Every
business, to be successful, requires re-
sponsible head, thoroughly acquainted with
all its details, and giving it his personal at
tention. There are many points in market
gardening that can only be learned by ex-
perience, and il a stranger to the business
undertakes it, he will pay dearly for his
education. Some three hundred dollars to
the acre are needed as capital to carry on
the business to advantage, even when man
is practically acquainted with it, and knows
how and where to invest every dollar. The
questions to be solved, are location in refer
ence to market, soil, what kind and how

How the Human Organism
Protects Itself.

The organism Of the human body
is a self-regulating apparatus. Every
interruption Of its normal functions
eXcites reaction against the dis
turbing cause. If grain of caustic
potash irritates the nerves of the
palate, the saliyary glands try to re-
move it by an increased secretion.
The eye would wash it off by an i'm.
mediate flow of tears. A larger
quantity of the same substance
could be swallowed only under the
protest of the fauces, and the di-
gestive organs would soon find
means to eject it. The bronchial
tubes promptly react against the OBJ
trusion of foreign substances. The
sting Of an insect causes an inVol-
untary twitching Of the epidermis.
If a thorn or splinter fastens itself
under the skin, suppuration pre-
pares the way for its removal. If
the stomach be overloaded with
food, it revolts against further in
gestioD,
The automatic agencies of the
organism generally suffice to coun-
teract the disturbing cause, and the
sensory symptoms attending the
process of reconstruction constitute
merely a plea for non-interference.
The suppurating tissues push the
thorn outward, and resent only a
pressure in the opposite direction.
| The eye volunteers to rid itself of
the sand-dust,. but demonstrates
against friction. The rum-soaked
system of the topper undertakes to
eliminate the poison, and only asks
that the consequences of the outrage
be not aggravated by its repetition.
But, if that plea remains unheeded,
il finally takes the form Of the EN-.
phatic protest we call disease. For,
even in its urgent manifestations,
the reaction against the violation
of natures Ehealth-laWs is cry for
peace, rather than a petition for
