became members of your society," AT
least one half, he answered"
"What a power for good is a system
which in a few years can lift men and
women out Of the ranks of mere labor
ers to the plane of capitalists. The
strongest claim of these societies to pop.
ular favor is that they educate the people
in the art of getting ahead; teach them
to save money and how best to keep it.
They are a powerful agency in lifting the
working classes out of the danger, and
often the degradation of over-crowded
and hopeless tenement-house life into
their own happy homes"

The Presidents Message.

President Cleveland's last message is
a mass of words, A large portion of it
is q diffuse and tiresome elaboration Of
the idea that the tariff is a tax" In a
school boy style of composition he
dwells at length on the evils that come
from the operations of incorporated cap
tial, egotistically assuming that no one
knows as much as he or is as disinterest.

Electric company, Standard Oil Whitney

inson, and he has had around him as ad
Visers men who possess the immense
oVergrown fortunes about which he talks
so much like a demagogue. His greatest
claim to fame will be that he has written
the longest and most tiresomc message
ever written by a president. The sum of
all he wrote is that, in the face of an ad-
verse verdict of the people, he is right.
The fact becomes palmer every day that
the opinion of him, expressed by Dana,
of the New York Sun, was correct-that
he is a dull man, whose greatest charac-
teristic is an egotism that almost amounts
to a disease.

One of the most remarkable
studies in practical farming is the
wonderful recuperative and re-
storative effect of clover on land.
This effect can hardly be exagger-
ated' 1t is a mystery to many
farmers how a crop grown on a
soil can impart to it more than it
takes from it. Perhaps it will
help them to understand this to
remind them that but q small por-
ton of the plant comes from the
SOIL In a ton of dry clover hay
chemists tell us there are but from
LOG to 1874 pounds of organic mat
ter (by which they mean that which
comes from the soil), and all the re-
mainder is inorganic, or matter that
comes from the atmosphere. An
other fact which helps the soil is,
that in most soil there is ,ough plant
food to grow hundreds of crops, and
often thousands and much of this
in a condition in which it is not
really available of the plant.-Ex.
