and loyerty. Our hosts now marshal

It will sitEith closed doors to every

Though clolds obscure the present day,
Tomorrot may be fair and bright,
If farmers Eill but learn the way,
Work!.toglther, and dare to do right.

The ways ii cooperation,

Saved We see an account in almost
every, paper of how much is damaged
and lost BY the hail, hut no account of
what is Sc wed for our benefit, while it
has actually saved many pains, colics,
and doctor bills, by the destruction of
the seed fof the fruit which produces
those things that are so irritating to
our feelings. Who can tell but many
lives are saved as well as much misery.
This may appear quite a novel way of
getting comfort out OF misfortune, but
yeti may be a fact, and is it not better
to console ourselves in this way and
trust for the better? while we travel
on life's journey in the darkness of ig-
norance Of the future. We feel sad and
if may be allowed the depression;

Governments were at heart as they ap-
pear in Uniform, in expressions OF
friendship with the common people;
Paternal in fact, and every citizen re-
spected as a common child. Then in
every emergency in every such Il ca
tastrophy, the parent to issue his check
or greenback for each chlld's citizens
loss.
The farmers of Jerauld Co. want q
railroad and an agricultural college at
Washington Springs; and then they
want the capital of Dakota. But if we
get either we must let our wants be
known, and make an effort to get it.
We can never get such things by irres.
olution. Such things are not like eggs
that will hatch by sitting down on
them and keeping still.
Don't forget the Co. Council of the
Farmers Alliance, Aug. 7th, at the
Springs. Be on hand punctual at 2 O.
clock p' m., at the court house.

pick 'em one at a time as they ripen

| The greatest need at this period OF
the world-this year lSS6-among the
farmers is to study and practice econo

A man who has plenty of corn in his
barn is always Of an even disposition
but the one who has it on his feet is in
yariably cross-gTained.
It is said that the whole tendency Of
agriculture, just now, and for the fu
ture, is and will be, the cultivation OF
more grass, and the establishment Of
! permanent meadows.
