WooDs1D1 PRAIRIE.
Editor Of N. r. Farmer.
Some time since, noticed an ar
ticle in your paper concerning the
Alliance movement, written by a
farmer of Woodside. This Wood
side farmer is kicking asainet his
own interests. The Alliance never
has and never Intends to ask legisla-
ton compelling people. to eat more
bread so that the price of wheat may
be higher; neither have they become
dissatisfied because there is an abun-
dance or any Of tile other absurdities
which this intelligent "Woodside
farmer" infors. But there are a few
farmers in Otter Tail county who do
think they can improve their condi-
ton by organization, and the farmer
who kicks against farmers clubs and
social intercourse among farmers,
simply says "he knows it, no man can
teach him anything, and he cannot
be benefited by associating with his
bro her farmer" The Alliance claims
there il much 70 be gained by associ-f
ating together, especially by farmers
who, residiagas they do 80 far apart,
must have some place and time ap-
pointed in order that they may ex-
change ideas and crafty the social
nature which God saw fit to make
one of the component parts OF mans
nature. Merchants who can stand in
their own doors and talk with each
other, ,have their exchanges. Mechan.
les who work side by side in the
same shop, have their unions and Or
g anikedclub~; Capitalists have their
clubs, and with fnc wines, sumptuous
dinners and their surplus gold buy
legislation detrimental to the i'roduc-
ers. Mr.. "Woodside Farmer" denies
this; does hes lIow does il agree
with his denial that there is no taxation
ON Railroad lands. The millionaire
boards up his money III bonds ex-
empt from tax, and many little red
tape arrangeihents by viii III millions
of dollars escape finding place on
the assessment roll. but the farmer
is exempt from tax only One Huh
dred Dollars, and if he hasa calf, or
zig. or even his stove or bedstead,
if not made With his own hand, it
must be accurately enumerated Ard
footed up at its actual value, and if
the amount Falls to be one hundred
dollars, he goes scot free-favored
farmer. What the Alliance does ask
equal taxation, Legislation regulat-
ing treights, and fares 5fpublic carri-
age justly proportionate with remun-
erations of othcr institutions. and if
our wheat must be graded, have it
graded by uninterested parties in
stead OF by the purchaser, as it now
is regardless el any ones interest.
Uncle Sam said the farmer could have
a hom estead free Of tax for \ fixed
number Of years. but this red tape
chimney corner legislation says there
must be d certain amount OF money
raised to run the State, Town and
County Government, and We will
make = law taxing all the improve
ments on tue homestead, the farmers
are too poor to kick much. Now l
would like to ask Mr. "Woodside
farmer" what wat the cause Of the
seven long years Of war and hardship
endured by the American people

Where is that little brown.eyed fay
That sometimes dances through nv door,
And hastes her blushing cheek to lay
On NINE, and kisses DER and Ger
The lips that meier forget to bless
With loves unmeasured tenderness?
seem to see those twinklng feet
Glide past pie in my silent room;
seem to hear those accents sweet
That Danish every note of gloom;
Those curls thrown back from ample brow,
And large dark eyes-I see them now,
But when the form so soft, so fair,
l fain would gather to my breast.
And guard its childish beauty there
From all earth's shadows and unrest,
wake from the fond wish 10 miss
Her voice, her smile, her grateful kiss.
God keep thee tenderly and safe,
Thou bud Of beauty and of grace!
Thou Seem'st some sparkling, wandering
waif,
Cast earthward TO our fond embrace
Come, fairy, to my silent room
And fill its void with song aud bloom!

A VALUABLE COAT.
An Old Fashioned Clawhammer Made
by Andrew johnson.

Mr.. james H. Morrison, of Knox
vile, Tenn, writes Commissioner Nc
Whittier that there is an old man
living in Greene county-Mr. H.
Price-who has an old fashioned claw
hammer coat made by ex-President
Johnson's own hands," and desires to
know if it would be suitable to place
in the Tennessee exhibit at New Or
leans. He says if, in the opinion of
the Commissioner, the coat will be of
interest in the exhibit, he will endeavor
to secure and ship it for that purpose.
Having been preserved for many years
as keepsake, it is in excellent condi-
ton. The necessary affidavits as to its
genuineness will accompany the relic.
Mr.. Morrison will be instructed to Sc
cure that coat by all means. The ex-
hibit will contain nothing, perhaps,
that will attract more attention.

Some Chemicals Which Sorld Find a
Common Use in Every Family.

Mrs Mrs. II. McEarle, in Weekly Magazine.
1t is surprising, considering how
many women have been instructed in
chemistry in their school days, to find
how few housekeepers make any use of
chemicals in various household process.
ses. Especially is this the case in
cleaning processes. The washing of
clothes is usually wholly accomplished
by rubbing the clothes on the wash =.
board, and with no other detergent
than soap. The rubbing of the clothes
wears them out far more than use, and
if housekeepers only knew, or if know
ing they would take advantage of the
fact, that many washing compounds
will almost entirely cleanse clothes
which are soaked in them over night,
and thus almost entirely do away with
the labor and wear of the dashboard,
wash-daY might be robbed of half its
terrOrS. Receipts for washing fluids,
the principal ingredients of which are
soda-ash, ammonia and lime, can be
found in nearly every house receipt
book, and are very cheap and harm
less. All such washing compounds are
useful and convenient for cleaning
woodwork, paints and carpets in a
house also in washing dishes and Sc
curing that desideratum of housekeep>
ers, clean dish-cloths. Ammonia is a
simple, cheap and harmless chemical
that should be bought by the quart
and kept in every family. A few
drops added to water will cleanse chill

it Is an admirable disinfectant to re.
move the odor of perspiration; it will
remove grease spots from clothing and
often restore cOlors to stains. Its com.
mon and frequent use cannot be too
frequently urged.
Borax is another chemical that
should find a common use in every
family. For cleansing the teeth and

Salicylic acid is perfectly odorless

household is invaluable. 1t is very
cheap and convenient in form. In
these days, when to stay various forms
of disease is so important, mothers and
housekeepers would do well to give
study and thought to these things, and
to try to make their knowledge of

A New Dress Reform.
Demorest's Monthly.

Demorest's Monthly.
A German professor, DR.. Jaeger,
has started theory respecting clothing
which is creating quite sensation in
fatherland. He objects to garments
made of linen or cotton, and gives
many reasons why wool should be the
sole clothing of human beings. Wool
is the natural covering of animals. 1t
rids their bodies of effete and poison>
GUS emanatiOns and protects them from
the inclemency of the weather. But
cotton and linen are composed of vege-
table fiber. They are dead materials,
and retain the noxious emanations
from our bodies, thus slowly poisoning
us. Silk is not so Objectionable, as it
is product of animal life, because
spun from the body of an animal. But
it is far less wholesome, especially when
worn next to the skin, than wool or
the hair of one of the lower animals.
These are some of the reasons why DR..
Jaeger demands the exclusion of cotton
and linen from the materials out of
which we make our clothing.
For men DR.. Jaeger recommends

Wood Ashes for Fruit Trees.

New England Farmer.
Wood ashes are the best of fertili-
zers for the orchard. They contain all
the required elements of plant nutri-
ton, except nitrogen. One hundred
pounds of wood ashes contains sixteen
pounds of potash, three and a half
pounds of soda, sixty.seven pounds of
lime and magnesia, and FIVE and a
quarter pounds of phosphoric acid. No
other fertilizer keeps fruit trees in SO
healthy a state as do wood ashes. Prof.
Kedzie, of Michigan Agricultural Coll
lege, says that more than twenty-five
years ago he had an orchard of two
and half acres, which by the free
use of stable manure, was brought into
condition, such as his pear trees were
affected with the fire blight; his apples
run to water sprouts and suckers, and
his grapes to wild wood. He applied
seventy.five or eighty tons of leached
ashes to his two and half acres of OF
Chard, and there was no more fire
blight, nor water sprouts, but golden
fruit in abundance. That orchad still
continues to bear bountifully, never
having forgotten that liberal dressing
of ashes more than twenty-five years
ago.
ECONOMY IN APPLYING FERTILIZERS.
1t often happens that considerable
portion of the fertilizers applied to a
crop are lost, because certain elements
are applied in excess of the needs of
the crop. The loss is greater in some
soils than in Others. Some soils, such
as clayey loans, are very retentive of
fertilizing substances, and retain the
greater part of what is applied to them,
even though the growing crop should
not require them for use, but sandy
soils are incapable of retaining fertili.
zing substances for any length of time,
and unless the growing crop makes
immediate use of them, loss is likely to
occur. The farmer needs to know
what kinds of fertilizers, and the
amount required by his different crops,
and then act accordingly, Prot. Cook,
of the New Jersey Experiment Station,
after long and patient study, has come
to the following conclusions in respect
to some of the crops, and the fertilizers
needed for the same: Vegetables,
such as beets, carrots and potatoes, re-
quire potash and heterogeneous manures;
while cereals and fruit which bear
seeds, require phosphoric acid, and
there is no getting seed without it..

FALL FEEDING MOVING LANDS.
No farmer can afford to allow HI,
cattle to feed of the growth of grass il
his moving lands in the fall. 1t in
jures the grass roots and diminishes the
grass crop the year following, for more
than the feed obtained is worth. 1t i:
cheaper to buy hay and feed to the
stock in the barn than to have them
feeding down the moving fields.
FERTILIzING LAWNS.
Heavy dressing of stable manure
should never be made to a lawn. Not
only does it present very unsightly
appearance when thus treated, but the
dressing lying in Jumps, as it usually
does, is liable to kill out the grass in
places, and greatly Injuries tho appear
ance of the lawn. When any dressing
is needed, it is much better to apply in
the spring, a light dressing of bone
phosphate or guano.
KEEPING APPLES.
A Pennsylvania farmer, who had
tried various methods of keeping APP
Piles, obtained the best success by wrap.
ping each apple in paper, placing in a
barrel, and heading it. He bored holes
in the top and bottom, so as to allow a
free circulation of air, and laid the
barrel upon its side in as cool a place
as was safe from frost. The variety Of
apples was the Fallowaters. On the
fifth of May, he opened the barrel and
found them in most excellent condi-
ton. There were only twenty specked
and rotten apples in the whole barrel,
"while the color was beautifully pre-.
served, and the apples had delicious
flavor They were fresh and beautiful
in appearance, without any dampness
or moisture. A gentleman present
when the barrel was opened, pro.
nounced them the best kept apples he
had ever seen. The success seemed to
be due to the fact that the paper abb
sorbed all the moisture that was given
off by the apples, while the holes in
the top and bottom allowed the free
circulation Of air."
This is a method worth trying for
preserving few apples for home use,
but evidently could not very we'll be
practised for preserving large quanti-
ties of fruit. Where large quantities
of fruit are stored for preservation, the
best method seems to be to keep down
the temperature as near the freezing
point as possible without chilling the
fruit. Low temperature is the best
preventative, and if it could be main
tanned near the freezing point until
midsummer, there would be little diff
Guilty in preserving fruit until that
time. Some store in racks, allowing a
free circulation of air, and others store
in barrels closely headed up. Very
good results are obtained by either
method.
