MOTHERS TO THE RESCUE.

MOTHERS TO THE RESCUE.
Standing by the cradles of the precious
children committed to our care, let us
register solemn oath that we will not
shrink from any duty or sacrifices until
there is no legal protection for crime
God pity and protect the tempted, tor
tured, suffering little ones, to- day, at this
very hour, wandering with bleeding feet
amid paths rendered thorny and cruel by
our apathy. May the weakest cry of the
humblest child of earth wake sympathetic
responses in every home in the land. Let
us pray that the mother-heart may be so
aroused that every tempted, toil-worn
orphaned heart shall find shelter, oppor-
tunity, protection and home. Mothers,
for the sake of these little ones, let us
organize for action!-Elis. Boyaton Hm'-

| SAM JONES TO THE WOMEN OF CHICAGO.
| Wife, above all things in the world, let
me say word to you about temperance.
We will never put the bar-rooms out of
this city, we will never put down the curse
Of whiskey as long as wives keep it in
their homes or allow it to be kept there.
Let me tell you. [ know women who have
kept whisky at their homes and had their
! wine entertainments,an they have gone on
| in that way in spite of all advice that could
be given, and I've had these same women
come to me after service at church, and
take my hand and look in my face with
tears streaming from their eyes and say,
pray for my husband. He hasn't drawn
a sober breath in five years, and the poor
fellow is now well nigh to death and dam
nation" And those women started their
husbands, and helped them along until
they were poor, helpless drunkards. Thank
God Almighty my wife never gave me
drop of whisky in her life, and never
would suffer it to be brought into her
home. You may say, "Oh my husband is
never going to make brute of himself. y
How do you know? Your husband never
had any more will power than had he
never had any more manhood in him than
l have, but I'll tell you, fire, FIRE,
ike that don't ask any kind of material
any odds; put that down. If you will
keep wine and whisky in your house, if
your husband and boys don't die drunk it
won't be your falt. III tell you that to-
day in all love and kindness.
| hope when you go home you'll break
up every demijohn and bottle in your
house. You'll never reform society in
until you do And there's lots of women
in Chicago. too. that like the '.creetur."
We don't want high license on whisky,
but we want prohibition, prohibition.
Putting high license on whisky is just like
putting high license on murder, and then
only a few men will be able to pay it, and
they II be the chief murderers of Illinois,
going around killing whom they please.
It's just as reasonable. If the snake ought |
to be hit anywhere, sisters, let's hit it on
the head, and kill it now and forever. | |
want every woman in this building who
is in favor of constitutional, social, polit-
ical and eternal prohibition of whisky to
stand up"
The entire congregation of women rose
20 their feet with unanimity that was
startling, and they stood and
waved their handkerchiefs, and actually
heered the speaker to the echo, so enthu-
iastic were they.

THE PROGRESSIVE FARMER, JULY %, 1886.
KIND WORDS.

The readers of The PROGRESSIVE
FARMER have doubtless discovered
by this time that we are not given
to the habit of lauding u own
efforts, or, to quote a common but ex-
pressive phrase, of"blowing our own
horn" Nor do we make it a habit
of reproducing the kind words that
are said of us by our brothers OF the
press, for which we have more than
once had occasion to feel thankful.
We depart from our custom some
what in this instance in reproducing
the following extracts from the many
f~attering notices that have greeted
us, for the double purpose of showing
how kindly THE PROGRESSIVE FARM
Err has been received by our brethren
of the press and to tender them u
heartfelt thanks fortheir kind words
and good wishes.

PROTECT YOUR WHEAT FROM
WEEVIL.


The wheat crop in our State has
been harvested under most unfavor-
able circumstances. Much Of it was
sprouted and otherwise damaged.
Proper precaution should be taken
as doubtless this pest will be un-
usually active. And again, there is
danger from the moist condition of
the grain, that it will become musty.
Prepare scatfolds, cover with sheets
and put out the wheat about four
inches in depth. Let it have the full
sunshine during all the warm part of
the day-say from nine in the fore
noon to four in the afternoon, stir
ring it thoroughly three orfourtimes.
Have your boxes, hogsheads or bins
thoroughly cleansed out and ready
to receive the grain. Air them and
sun them thoroughly. They should
be as hot as the sun can make them
at the time the wheat is put in them.
Pour it up while at is hot, mixing
with it a handful of salt or lime to
every three bushels. The wheat
will keep sound and we have had
very little trouble with weevil when
we used these precautions.
The progressive farmer. [volume] (Winston, N.C.) 1886-1904, 1886-07-28
THE RIGHTS OF THE PRESS AND
n THE PEOPLE.

We see that our able, esteemed
and usually level-headed contempt
rary, the Wilmington Star, in motto
ing the Monthly Bulletin, published
by the Department of Agriculture,
recommends our farmers to subscribe
for it. This suggests two questions
which We respectfully present for
the consideration of the Star:
FIRST. Is 1t proper and right for the
State government, pr any department Of
at, to enter the field Of pubic journalism
as a competitor Of prsuate enterprises,
using the public money for that purpose?
Second. Is 1T proper and right that
our farmers should be asked to Subscribe
to and pay for the publications Of the
department Of Agriculture?
We refer to the Star in this mat
ter because we do not think it will,
on reflection, approve of publishing
a paper at the expense of the people
and then charging them for it.
