FARMERS, CONGRESS.

The President of the Farmers
Congress, Mr.. ThOs. j. Hudson Of
Lamar, Miss, has caused TO be sent
out a printed letter urging the Rp
pointment by the Governors Of the
State of delegate from each Con.
gressional district and from each ag-
ricultural college. This Congress
met first in st. Louis in October 1881
and again in the same city in Octo-
Der 1882. It's next session will be
held at Louisville, KY, on the first
Wednesday in December next.
It's object is Ito bring the farmers
from all sections of the country into
a common council, that they may de-
t.rmine as to the best policy to pro-
tect and advance their interests"
We understand that "all who at
tended the two sessions of the Con-
gress al st. Louis were delighted,
and it is believed all of them will be
present at Louisville" ="
Farmers have a broad field for in
telligent discussion, and it can hard
" be possible for so large a body Of
representative men to devote a day
to any phase of their situation with
out gaining material progress
through better understanding of
mutual interests. Through a per-
sistent magnifying of their office,
they bnt do what those of every
other calling do. and are justified in
so doing By the primary Importance
of agriculture.
Agriculturists may be made unan-
imous for every real advantage of
their calling when the same is intel
ligently presented, but Mr. Hudson
has announced in his letter the poll
cy Of the Farmers Congress to be
that: "They do not ask or desire
class legislation, but they demand
that the machinery of Government
shall no longer be used for their OPP
preston. Among other things they
want the Department of Agriculture
represented in the Presidents Cabi-
net, and so expressed themselves
at the last session of
this body. They want the Tariff
modified and justice done the great
mass Of consumers. They want the
Internal Revenue laws repealed as
inimical in their operations, and its
thousands Of officials and informers
dismissed from the public service. I
It is doubtful if such pronuncia-
nentos have any good effect upon
armers, and it is certain they pre-
ent to the country only the weakest
ause for cooperation among farm
rs e
That such a pitiful lament should Q
e made over the existence Of Inter It
al Revenue laws, is not consistent K
18th the proclaimed opposition of Il
to the increased nse Of q
hislzy and tobacco. ia
1t is but a platitude to say that .
rmers want any special justice I.

DRAWBACKS TO THE PROSPERITY OF
DELAWARE, NO. 2.

One of the great drawbacks to the
prosperity Of the State is the system of
tenant farming. Under this vicious
system the land becomes more and
more impoverished, and with this
necessarily comes the impOverlshment
of the agricultural population. 1t de-
strOyes all ambition on the part of the
cultlVatOr; all idea of hOmeness all
thought of permanent ownership in
the land suppresses to a great extent
patriotic pride in the State in which
they were born retards progress in
the art of agriculture; makes tenant
farmers harrow minded aud penuri-
Gus and lOath to pay the taxes neces-
sary for schools, roads, and such like
mprOvements as go to make q resi-
dence in the State desirable and invit-
ing. A severe indictment the reader
will say. Let US see VIII ether il be not
just and true.
A very large proportion of the land
In Delaware, especially in Sussex
county, is owned by few
wealthy men many of whom own
thousands of acres each, we know of
one who is credited with owning over
sixty farms. A large proportion of
these lands may be in timber it is true,
but nevertheless the major part is ara
BILE land. This land is rented out an
1ually for a certain share of the pro-
1uce, from one third to one halfgener-
ally, without any certainty that the
.erm will be renewed, and with a pos
bility, if not a probability that the
enant may have to seek another farm

MANY of our farmers are feeding
tramps so as to keep from getting
their i'll will. This method Of deal
ing with them is only relieving the
pain without removing the cause.
The tramps are not capable of doing
bnt very few kinds of labor because
of ignorance as to how it should be
done. They are not equal to the
task of cutting wood: because they
never knew how. Their common
sense teaches them how to pick
peaches, and this they can do be-
cause it does not take skilled hands
to accomplish the work. For men
who really want work, there is an
open field in Delaware. But to the
pure and unadulterated vagabOnd
all doors should be closed, and
should, he break the laws of our land,
let him be dealt with summarily; but
don't send him to Georgetown to
have him punished he might es-
cape.

RYE FOR PASTURE.


In this section, where droughis invariably iu-
jure the clover, either early or late in the season.
and where fruit raising is making pasture lands
more and more scarce, 1t would be well for farm
ers 20 try sowing rye for pasture. 1t can be
sowcl as early as the middle of August and pas.
iured of in the fall, or irdelayed until Christmas
it will start aud do IT'S best during the few warm
days that usually come in January. Being unable
to sow one year at the proper time, we plOughed
and sowed rye Christmas week. The result
was exceedingly satisfactory. Rye will grow
with "hali o chance" but will richly repay prop
er and timely attention. Cows cat t TayenOusly
at all times before it heads, which it must not
be permitted to do if new grOwths arc required,
as when the seed forms, the root Of the plant
dies. Sow III bushels to the acre, when intend
ed for pasture. The result will be q thick
growth OF fine beautiful grass, than which no
food will be more acceptable or profitable. We
have seen cows taken from good fodder, corn
meal and bran, and put upon rye grass alone, to
their great gain both in flesh and milk and but.
ter. The butter was so bright golden, that
merchants did not hesitate to charge that it was
cOlOred; and SO It was; but the COWS had made
their own cOOring from the beautiful green food
they had taken in such abundance. When the
rye ground was required for another crop, and
the remaining rye was plOughed under, the cows
were put or clover that reached to their knees.
But they and we were ineonsOlabei for they
rapidly lost flesh, and declined in yield Of milk
and butter.
We have never seen it retained for permanent
pasture. but have seen it claimed by Western
farmers, that if never allowed to head, it can be
used for pasture from three 10 six years. 1t has
the advantage Of starting quickly, more quickly ]
than any other available grass. 1t will bear Sc
we're winters and dry summers, and when eaten
of, will start a new growth Immediately, pro.
Ylded the one care is taken-nOt to allow it to |

the Tariff Surely Mr.. Hudson will
not claim that a modified Tariff will
work any relief to the consumers of
agricultural products, and if it was
calculated to do so it would be un-
natural for farmers to strenuously
advocate such policy. If "the ma
chinery of Government" has been
used for the oppression of Farmers
then of course it should no longer
be so used, but why does not the
President Of the Farmers Congress
specify what portion of the Govern
ment machinery is so used Is it
the Department Of Agriculture, that
is so used; and for this cause does
he advocate its change to the import
ance of Cabinet position?
The truth is, farmers have griev-
ances, and those too which demand
both legislative and executive con-
sideratiOn but it is painful to see
their interests so frequently set forth
by their spokesmen in platitudes
that may mean anything or nothing.
The expressions used by Mr.. Hud-
son touch agriculture only on one
side, and by the words that it is met
with from politicians, and they are
calculated to arouse political differ
ences that will do the cause no good.

his health and the low price OF grain a!
that time prevented his bringing this
invention into practical use. DR.. Gat-

to improving the gun which bears his
name, and the success which nas attend.
ed his lnbors seduced him from the more
congenial field of peaceful invention.
Inventive talent hes also been brought
to bear upon soap. Several materials

Of resin has been utilized. Slick, either

of the most common, and soaps made in
this way are extremely efficient and use

purposes are now made by mixing lime
water, dissolved alum, etc, with soap
already made.

STATESMAN OF CIVIL SERVICE REFORM.
George H. Pendleton is the son of
Nathaniel Greene Pendleton, former
ly a Congressman. He was born at
Cincinnati, Ohio, on the twenty fifth
of July, 1925. He received an aca-
demical education, read law and was
admitted to the bar. After having
been member of the Ohio Senate in
1854 and 1855, he was elected to Con
gress as a democrat, and served in the
Thirty-tifth, Thirty-sixth, Thirty
seventh and Thirty-eighth Con
crosses. This gave him seat in the
House of Representatives continuous.
ly from December 7, 1857 to March 3,
1865. When, in 1864, General Geo.
B.. Mcclellan ran unsuccessfully for
the Presidency, George H. Pendle-
tons name was on the same ticket for
the Vice Presidency. In 1869 Dir.
Pendleton was appointed vice presi
dent of the KentuckyCentral Railroad
Company. His term of Office as a
United States Senator began ON the
fourth of March, 1867. He is the sue
cessor of Stanley Matthews.
Senator Pendleton's Civil Service
Reform Bill, amended and passed by
the Senate, has been passed by the
House, 1t provides for the appoint
ment of a committee of three mem.
bers, not more than two of whom are
to belong to the same political party.
The commission is to designate ex
examining committees after consulta-
ton with the Cabinet officer, customs
collector or postmaster for positions
in whose Office the examinations are
to be made Examinations are to be
competitive and on the line of the
practical duties of the position for
which there is competition. All ap-
pointments, removals and transfers
are to be reported to the commission.
No person appointed by the President
and confirmed by the Senate is to be
the subject of an examination. APP
pointments are to be apportioned
among the various States and Terri
tories on the basis of population and
applicants must be bona tde residents
of the localities named as their homes.
No more than two members OF the
same family can get into the same
grade in any public office, Any ex-
aminer who in his report shows ami
mus against any candidate is to be
deemed guilty of u misdeameanor and
/ L
Communications OF Congressman are
to have no weight whatever with an
examining board. There is to be a
period of probation for every ap-
pointee. Assessments for political
purposes are prohibited under penal
ty, and no clerk or other Office holder
is to be removed from Office or other
wise injured because of non partici
patton in political work of any kind.

JUDGE Lewis recently gave the Va
kima Signni his views of the future
outlet for produce from that section
in the following terse language: "Af
ter shipping grain from this valley to
Ainsworth, a distance of some 80
miles, and from kithtas valley to
Ainsworth, a distance OF 40 miles,
this grain would still be about 200
miles from Portland and even on
reaching Portland it would be about
80 miles from the sea, On the other
hand, going across The Cascade noun
tains it is only $50 miles from here to
Seattle and even less distance from
Kititas valley to the same point.
Grain can therefore be hauled across
to Seattle for one third less on the
ton than to Portland and when it
reaches Seattle it is worth one dollar
more on the ton than in Portland, be
cause it can be shipped from Seattle
to Liverpool for one dollar less on the
ton than from Portland. Shi ps sail
into the harbor of Seattle in many
instances without even the assistance
of a tow boat. To get vessels in and
out costs not exceeding $3.50, where
as, to get vessels in and out of Port
land costs not less than $1,000 A ship
that draws over Is feet of water dare
not come into the Columbia river,
whereas, a ship may enter the harbor
of Seattle regardless of its tonnage.
A ship may move up to our harbor
drawing rs feet, even at low tide, Mr..
Willard himself has been forced into
practical abandonment of the Col
umbia as an outlet to the ocean when
he hauls 100000 tons of iron from Ia
coma to Kalama and from kalama
up the river for use in railroad con
struction. BY this round about ar
rangement he saves $3.50 over what it
would cost him to bring it up the
Columbia by way of Portland.
