Stick to the Farm.

Young men are deserving the country

lure, while II cannot be said to be 90
ing backward in the methods. is going
backward in the extent of land cult
vateu. Thriving farms of IA cen ury
ago or less are growing up to woods.
and the unlucky lilac, in untrimmed
proiusion of fragrance, tells where
the farmers children gathered, amid
rustic plenty, around the capaciou>
hearth. Even the graves of the dead
are forgotten, and brushwood hides
the rude, unchiselled stones that mark
their resting-place under G leaves of
many autumns. This is not singular
scene in Rhode Island. Acres upon
acres are growing up to wood that
were cultivated years ago.
1t is said that farming does not pay.
But who ever hears of farmer failing
The Rhode Island farmer lives, as Il
rule, in comfort. lie is as independent
as man can be in a world where we
are all, to some extent, mutually de-
pendent. His industry is represented,
not III the increase of another's wealth,
but of his own. In some respects a
farmers life may be hard, but even in
the city there is no royal road to riches.
| With brain or with hand a man must
toll and few, even of the very wealthy,
are removed about anxiety as to the
morrow.
What we wish to impress is this Our
manufacturing establishments are
| crowded largely with alien help. The
competition III business is keen. The
large maj Jrity of business men fail in
one or another degree, and one brilli-
ant success is more than offset bv hun,
dreds of lives stranded and wrecked III
the effort to achieve success, bv hun.
dreds of once sanguine young men,
who started with as high hopes as any
business man IN our city, and who
have become disheartened in the
struggle, and sunk into apathy, glad tC
LABOR for enough to eat, and enduring
discomfOrls aud rebutfs they would
never have been subject to on the farm
On the other hand, the boy, the youth
who adheres to the paternal acres, who
even, perhaps, without parents OF
friends to project, starts in to be tai h.
iul aud sober worker in the field anC
the barn, is almost certain of independ
ence, ii not wealth. 1t seems small tC

lar, after carrying it three or four miles

smaller to be out of employment in thG
city, without either the half dollar OF
its equivalent in cabbage. or ANYTHING
else. As things are today, and are like
ly to be for good many years to CONE
in respect TO the crowding of trade
and professions, there is no better place
for the farmers boy than the farm. -

"Rise temple, rise" is again the
song of the beautiful temperance taber-
nacle at Manislee, Mich. The new
building is even finer than the one so
cruelty burned. 1t is said to be the
finest public buildinl in the city, aud
was formerly reopened and given to
the w. G. Z. L. on Sunday, Oct. 81.

working with the determination of per-
severing until victory is gained.
The town of Greeley, Colorado, has
population of 2 800; has no paupers,
consequently no poOrhouse: no Jail
and no police-all this the result of
prohibition, for there never was a
drihking-saloon in the town, and the
| liquor traffic is prohibited. On the
other hand it has six churches and a
fine school house, costing over $50, 900.
Mrs. l. b. Barrett, secretary of the
! W. G. T. u. of Boston, Mass, reports
that the license receipts in Boston last
year were nearly 100000 more than
the year before, showing that the drink
system is fostered and grows under Ii
cense laws. 1t required $50, 900 more
to support paupers and criminals than
last year. The women are working
for constitutional prohibition.
Detroit has had what it calls the
"grandest temperance meeting ever

that they wanted some place to 90,
where they could not get the "benefi-

Friends of Sunday closing in Eng

Notes.

A writer in Colorado paper says:
The sheep wealth of Colorado will APP
proximate to-day S20,O0O,000. For a
few years. while cattle have had the
boom, the sheep industry has progress
ed but slowly. The day may come
when the tide will turn. Let Congress
once restore the tariff duty of '67 and
sheep may become king.
Disguise it as you may, talk about
mutton being the paramount object if
you please, but if it were not for the
fleece there would scarcely be a sheep
raised outside of few special localities
in these United States. Then breed
for more and better wool, but at the
same time do not neglect the mutton
characteristics of the flock. -StOchmoH.
The JOWndl Of agriculture says
here is more sense than poetry in the
Old saw that says the "sheep's foot is
golden" Sheep come nearer "work-
ing their own passage than any other
animal on the farm. They like good
grass, but they consume and work into
manure more weeds and briers from
fence rows, and wherever found, than
any other animal. They also equalize
fertility by eating where the grass
grows during the day, and seeking the
poorer knobs where sometimes the
| ground is too poor to grow grass, to
lie down at night. This they will do
except when driven to the hollows to
seek protection from the storm, and
that no farmer should allow his stock
| to do.

down the demand for wool from Amer
lean manufacturers. He felt certain
that TO put the business of wool.grow-
ing upon a prosperous tooting,it would
be necessary to restore the duties upon
woolens as well as upon woods. Any
legislation that increased the duties
upon wool alone would prove useless,
as it would only lead to larger importa-
tons of manufactured goods. In con-
clusion he stated that as one of a COM
mite upon tariff legislation he had
helped prepare statement of the views
held by the wool-growers OF this State
on this subject, aud would call upon
Mr.. H. IL. Kinds, of Stanton, to read
it, 1t was as follows:
WHEREAS, Michigan stands among the lead
ing agricultural states, and one OF her principal
agricultural industries being the growing of
sheep and wool we having shorn this year, in
round numbers two and half millions of sheep,
cutting twelve and IA hat million pounds of wool,
and this great industry being entirely depended
upon tariff protection for It's profitable eNste"ce;
and
WHEREAS, The tariff reduction OF lSS2 having
induced the importation of over nity-three mil-
lions OF dollars worth OF wool and WoOlens dur
ing this year, thereby practically depressing hi
great industry tn a point below where 1t can at
present be prOftably carried on, therefore, be II
RcsOtred, By the MlChlgan Merlno Sheep
Breeders association, in annual convention as
sembled, that the present tarIil ate on wool and
woolens is so low that farther reduction would
be fatal to this great industry in this state and
that restoration of the tariff rate OF 1867 is alb
sulutcly demanded to place this great industry
on a proper paying basis; and
Rcsoired, That II copy of these resolutions be
transmitted to our members OF both branches OF
congress-

The preamble and resolutions were
adopted unanimously, and Messrs.
Kinds and Rich appointed to draw up
