Farmers, ORGANIZATIONS.

Combinations, pools, rings, and or.
CARNATIONS of various kinds exist II
most lines of commerce, manufacturing,
labor, and even in some of the higher
arts and professions. Agriculture alone
is without the protection afforded by
consolidation of individual interests,
and an organized resistance to unjust
encroachments; yet no other industry
is more in need of such organized re-
sistance TIC ROBBERY than is farming. IL
scarcely one of the operations connect
ed with husbandry is the farmer able
to dictate terms to those who buy of o.
sell to him. Yet no class has greater
natural power over the very existance
of mankind than have they who furnish
the daily bread of the world. By COM
bining, as railroads, spectators, and
others do. formers could compel
all the world to comply with
their demands, for men must eat
though the Kingdoms fall and empires
disappear. Ships may be built and

machinery and operatives, railroads may
stretch across the land, elevators may
be erected, and Spectators, merchants,
and manufacturers may stand ready for
business-and, if the farmer fail to give
them work, there they will stand idle.
All are dependent upon the farmer, and
he alone of all classes can live mdepend.
ent of the lest Of the world. Yet, by
the sheer force OF combination, the de-
pendent classes have so reversed the
natural order that the tiller of the land
isthe slave, toiling for the pittance al
lowed him from his own earnings by
those who, in the natural order, should
be servants and not masters. This has
been the condition of things so long and
SO generally that it seems now to be the
natural condition of airs.-Chicago

and the most prosperous business, by
the reverse OF trade, are suddenly swept
into oblivion. We seethese tales every
day in our daily papers. But they are
apparently at Il distance, and do not
attract any special attention, and make
little or no impression on u minds.
But how is it at home? The agricul-
tnral editor moved to the city of Des
Moines not quite six years ago. Des-
MONIES is o growing, prosperous city.
In the past six years there has been no
depression or stagnation in its business.
Its banks are sound and money plenty.
It's mechanics have a plenty of work at
good wages. And yet of the drygoods
houses doing business in the city of six
years ago all, except one OF two have
had to succnmb and make assignments.
The grocery trade has been a little bet
ter, yet it has had it's examples of the
vicissitudes Of trade. And nearly all
branches of business in that time have
had a taste of reverse. And yet of all
the thousands of careful farmers of
Polk county, though it has been for the
the past three years the worst season
for crops, it is a very rare thing for n
Of them to assign OF be sold out.
The hard toiling farmer knows but
little of the troubles, anxieties and Vi
cissitudes of q commercial life. And
the uncertainty of the future with the
latter class is probably the reason why
there is SO much extravaganza and vain
show in the families of commercial men.
They have large fashionable families,
dress richly, and parade in their fine
carriages On the very brink of ruin.
With them it is now or never, and they
flourish while they can, and too many
farmers and farmers families sigh for
the same thing.-Des Moinos Register.

Around the World On a Bicycle.
From the Boston Herald.

Thomas Stevens, the young English
man who is on his way to Europe trav-
cling across this country on a bicycle,
arrived at Chicago July 4th, bronzed
and weather worn. He left San Fran.
cisco April %, and therefore had been
forty-two days on the road. In CONVEX
sation Mr.. Stevens said that the Jour
ney over the mountains and through
the deep sands of the Nevada desert
had been long and tedious. He stopped
at Ogden, Che yenne and Omaha. The
roads i'll Illinois were found to be in
very good condition. He averaged so
miles a day, and the result Of his tour
will be embodied in a book to be pub
lished in England. At times the rider
was in a quandary to obtain food, but
he was never nor than twentY-four
hours without it. He is now on his
way to New York via Toledo, Cleveland
and Erie, thence along the New York
Central and Hudson River Railway
roads. After o two weeks rest he
will take the steamer Cor Liverpool and
bicycle through England, France, Ger
many, Austria and Turkey to the
boundary Of the European continent,
Mr.. Stevens will stop there, and will,
if possible. tour through Asia in 1856
His only additional luggage is a water
proof coat, and additions to his ward
robe are made on the road az required.
He wears an army helmet, and finds Il
preferable to one of felt in the sun. He
rides o fifty-inch bicycle.

A Good GUNNER Beverage.

Ginger ale is a beverage at once
healthful and refreshing in warm wealth
er. To make it thinly peel two lemons,
and put the rinds into an earthen pan
with juice, which must have been prev
iously strained; one and one-quarter
pounds of loaf sugar, one ounce of
bruised ginger and q quarter ounce of
of cream of tarter. Over this pour
five quarts of boiling water. Let it
stand, and when lukewarm add a
tablespoonful Of brewers yeast which
must be quite fresh. Stir this quickly
together u short time, and then leave it
until next day to ferment. Skim off
the yeast, and, having carefully poured
the liquid from the sediment, it may
then be bottled for use. Take care
that the corks are good; just before
using put them into boiling water, and,
having placed them in the bottles, let
them be firmly secured with wire.
This quantity will make rather more
than a dozen bottles, and will be ready
in two days. Another way: Two
ounces of whole ginger bruised; two
pounds of loaf sugar, the thinly pared
rind and strained juice of four lemons;
over tnis pour two gallons of boiling
water. When it has remained until
lukewarm spread a toast with yeast and
put in it. Let it stand all night then
bottle it off. This quantity will make
about four dozen bottles.-American

Cholera Treatment IN India.
Dr.. Fairbanks, Of Ahmednugger, in Missionary
u = lIo,.a1l

Herald.
"In the few cases where the patients
died, they either did not take the medi-
cine till the disease had nearly done its
work. or, as l found on inquiry, the
medicine was not taken according to
the directions. / have noticed that
camphor is an ingredient in most of the
medicines that have proved useful in
the treatment of cholera, and I regard
it as a specific for stopping the vomit-
ing and purging of serum, that accom-
pany this disease. [ think that cam
phor stops the separation of serum from
the blood. But its action needs to be
modified by the administration of some
alkaline substance, which will make the
kidneys act powerfully, and remove the
serum and other watery substances
which have accumulated in the stomach
and intestines.
IF these substances are allowed to
remain they cause bloating and conse-
quent death. I have found nitre most
active and efficient as a corrective for
the bad effects Of camphor. This year
l used pills containing a grain each of
camphor and nitre, giving one at once
each time the patient had vomited, and
continuing thus till the vomiting ceased.
Then l gave six or eight grains of nitro
dissolved in a little water. If this did
not cause urine to flow within an hour,
1 would give another similar dose of
nitre. Unless urine flows, there is little
to expect recovery. In one case, when
the nitre did not take effect and the
patient was much bloated I gave an
emetic, and so removed the fluids from
the stomach, and the patient recov-
arad ~

Farming Paragraphs.

No fewer than 100 societies exist in
Scotland, whose object is to promote
and maintain the purity of the Clydes-
dale horse.
Cows are better off in a cool stable
than in the pasture during the midday
heat.
Now that the harvest is nearly all done
by machinery, it is pretty hard on the
horses; see to it that they have the best
of care and generous feeding.
In Arkansas some strawberry grow
ers, anticipating a large yield and low
prices, sold their entire crops on the
vines to dealers Mt five cents q quart, and
are realizing from 500 to $50 per acre
for their fruit.

paint the eyes with a camel's-hair pencil
at night.
If a hen persists in untimely sitting,
don't try to brerk it up by the cruel yet
Intellectual method of half drowning the
poor bird, but instead take a headless
cask, lnvert it over her, allowing it to
rest on three bricks. and bore n hole in
the top for ventilation. Water and
scanty food should be provided just out
side the rim. A week of this treatment
will usually convert biddy into u more
sensible hen.
Foot-rot in COWS is one of the most
common diseases, and is in many respects
precisely the same as the foot-rot in
sheep. And yet it is more easily pre-
vented. It is caused by the constant
saturation of the feet with wet sloppy
mud or manure. This soon infames
the skin between the claws and around
the heels of the hoof, and softens the
horn and causes it to rot. By neglect
the Inflammation spreads to the centre
Of the foot and the horn is loosened
from the tissues, and drops off. The
wretched beast then crawls around up
on the stumps of the bones, and it's sufs

Farmers Should Battle often.

Farmers, as much as any class ofmen
in the world, and more so than most,
need frequent baths. Their work causes
them to perspire greatly and they are
constantly in contact with dirt. Reli-
able medical authority asserts that the
statistics which now place the life of
the farmer below the average might be
raised considerably if this class paid
more attention to cleanliness. One
farmer, John NJ. Stahl, approaching the
Importance of bathing, thus writes to
the New England Farmer:
"The body should be cleansed every
twenty-four hours, and it is best to do
this when the days work is done, for
then the body's liability to receive dirt
from external source is small, and the
functions of the glands can be properly
performed during the night, ~insuring
healthful slumber.
But how many of us do cleanse the
body each night? I am afraid the
truth would be that full as many cleanse
the body only once o week, as those that
cleanse it once q day. Not one farm
house in fifty, take the country over,
has a bathroom; and doubt if even
one farmers family in twelve has even
o bath-tub. This is a sad commentary on
our way of living, and explains the pre-
v~alence of fevers in the country where
they should be almost unknown.
I know only too we'll how tired the
p%loughman is at the close of the day,
and the fatigue is yet greater if the day
has been spent in the harvest field. 1t
seems a great task to drag the wearied
body even twenty feet to bed. The
thought Of going to the trouble and ex-
pense, of time of bathing may appear
almost absurd. But my word for it you
will be largely the gamer by so doing.
To batke will not require more than
ten minutes. and you will have added
two hours to your slumbers. You have
shortened the time for sleep by ten min
utes, but you have made slumber SO
much sounder and sweeter that you

Thread Fringe for Tidy.

Procure two large spools of the cheap
French thread, such as is used for
lasting, and use for the fringe, instead
of the coarse machine cotton Of which
the tidy is made. This cheap thread,
being twisted but lightly, makes a more
fluffy" and much softer fringe than the
more expensive brands. Procure a
strip of box cardboardth three inches wide,
or a smooth stick six inches around, and
wind its entire length with lunches of
thread, each bunch containing from
fifteen to twenty threads, making when
doubled, thirty Or forty ends in each
tassel of the fringe. With a sharp
pointed knife cut these, letting them
fall off the stick SO carefully as not to
become tangled. Pick UP each bunch
separately, and place the ends together,
thereby forming a loop in the middle;
with IN ivory crotchet-needle, draw
this loop through a mesh in the edge
of a tidy; then draw the ends through
the loop and pull down tight. Proceed
in this way until the tidy is entirely
fringed: then shake out carefully, and
trim off all Uneven threads. Country
