Gallant Phil Sheridan has, ne
doubt done wise thing in declar-
ing that he would decline to accept
the nomination for the Presidency
should that honor be rendered him.
H. j. soldier, not a statesman.
n head of the army he knows
where he stands. He is the nations
hero now. Before he reached the
White House he would find that
his gallant rifle was a fiction, that
he had robbed a missionary box at
West Point, possibly plotted with
the rebels to surrender Washington.
Better that the name of Phil Sheri-
dan should rest on fighting iaurels.
1t is General not President Grant
whose memory we delight to hon
or. General Sheridan be it to the
end. He was a captain when the
war began, and he is now Com
mander-in-C Chief OF all the armies of
. nation OF fifty millions OF people.
He won his way to this place by
fighting, not by intrigue; he holds
it for service. not by favor. He
knows his duties, he is fond Of
them, and is honored by the ma
ton for just what he is. To give
up such place for four years of
the gilded misery of the presidential
of1ice-to SEQ his slories shaded by
the rivalries and Disappointment
Of party strife-could only end in
bitterness. Sherry's head is level.
We notice, by the way, that nobody
has any doubt what he means when
he says No. Party men do not
Jump up to say that his refusal is
formality and that he wants to be
urged.-Gazette.

A Warning.

The modes of deaths approach are
various, and statistics show conclu-
sively that more persons die from dis
eases of the Throat and Lungs than
any other 1t is probable that every
one, without exception, receives vast
numbers of Tubercle Germs into the
system and where these germs fall
upon suitable soil they start into life
and develop, at first slowly, and is
shown by slight tickling sensation
In the throat, and if allowed to con-
tinue their ravages they extend to
the lungs producing Consumption and
to the head, causing Catarrh. Now
all this is dangerous and If allowed
to proceed will in time cause death.
At the onset you must act with
promptness; allowing a cold to go
without attention is dangerous and
may lose you your life. AS soon as
you feel that something is wrong with
your Throat, Lungs or Nostrils, obtain
a bottle of Boschee's German Syrup.
1t will give you immediate relief.

PATRONS OF mUsBANDRY.
MORTIMER WHITEHEAD.

One of the grandest triumphs OF
this nineteenth century is the progress
that has been made in educational adj
vantages. 1t is one of the proudest
boasts of our native land that even
to the humblest child an education is
offered, almost without money and
without price. None appreciate this
more than farmers, many of whom in
the earlier pioneer days of our coun-
try were deprived of school advanta-
ces. The neat school-houses on hill
side and prairie prove how universal
and how freely this great blessing is
now held out to all. Many farmers
have a desire TO do more and better
by their children, and would wish to
give them a high-school education;
but then the young folks must leave
home. be sent to the distant town,
and the expense counts up fast. The
Grange by its meetings becomes a
high school itself 1t is a great edu-
Gator for the farmer in all that per-
tains to the farm, his home, his bust
ness. his rights and interests, and his
duties as an American citizen. In this
high-school the farmer and his boys
and girls can get their knowledge,
which is power.
Education is the chief cornerstone
of the Grange. 1t is the keynote. In
its Declaration of Purposes it says,
I'VE shall advocate the cause of edu-
cation, among ourselves and for our
children, by all just means within our
power

Speaking OF the farmer Charles
Dickens said, The part
which pays best for cultivation is the
small estate within the ring fence of
his skull. Let him begin with the
cultivation of his brains There are
more ways than one in which the
farmer who is too old for school can
do this, and one of these is in the eX
ercise of the observing habit. No
one is better situated for such culture
and familiarity with the visible
forms" Of nature than the practical
farmer.

FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.

DoYoUR OWN REPAIRING.-We think
that almost any farmer will agree with
us that every farm should have its
own workshop, and every cultivator
OF the land should understand how TO
use it. He may not do so when he
first enters upon farming on coming
OF age, but after year or two of what
we should call apprenticeship, when
he finds that TO "know how to do
things" is absolutely indispensable, he
will rapidly learn TO attend TO the
most of his own repairing of the ordi-
nary implements and machines upon
his premises. instead of mourning de-
Law. expenses and uncertainty by de-
pending upon professionals at dis
lance. Rather than to be without a
work shop and the necessary tools,
one should be erected expressly for
the purpose in a convenient spot and
daily warmed in winter, so as TO be
ready at all times for use, in which
many odd jobs can be done, although
not immediately connected with the
farm.
All ordinary wooden repairing
ought TO be done by the farmer and
his hands during rainy days and in
winter, when there is plenty of time
on hand for that purpose. Every
part OF a wheelbarrow. except the
wheel. ought TO be made oil the prem
ises; new forks and handles of iron
rakes, repairing even some portion
of the farm machinery, building OF
garden and yard fences, repairing
roofs, building of corn-cribs, hog-pens,
wagon and cart shelvings making of
the frames of hot beds, and all the
many jobs constantly requiring TO be
done about we'll conducted place too
numerous TO mention. \ person be
comes very handy in the use of good
tools after short experience, saving
many dollar without consuming any
time necessary for the usual demands
of the farm.

The Grange was organized for the
purpose of bringing farmers together
to discuss their needs and necessities.
Not as many people imagine to array
the agricultural class against all
others, but on the contrary TO place
the farmer in a position to secure a
proper recognition from those who
not only drain him of everything he
produces, but who trample upon the
rights of all other producers. The
epitome of the Grange is education;
that education which will secure to
the farmer perfect knowledge of
what is due him, and at the same
time teaches him the rights of others,
and makes him respect them, as he
demands respect for himself and his
class.
The Grange is the great educator of
the American farmer. 1t teaches him
not only justice to himself, but con-
servation toward others. National

Grange education as applied to bus
mess matters alone is already saving to
the American farmer millions of dol
lars annually.
An extensive inquiry into the whole
subject of cooperation or mutual fire
insurance among the farmers has
been conducted by the american 4grt-
cultmist of New York for some months.
The first chapter on the subject, which
will appearin the October AgricuHurtSt,
shows that there are about one thou
sand mutual fire insurance companies
in successful operation in ten States,
insuring farm property to the value
of nearly three-fourths of a billion of
dollars, and at an annual saving of
not less than one million dollars.
Many of the best and most extensive
of these companies were organized by
the Grange, and the Order is entitled
to much credit for its success in this
form of cooperation. AT the same
time there are many States where the
Grange is we'll organized that not
only have no cooperative fire insur-
ance, but have laws that practically
prohibit the organization of compa-
MES on the plan which the Agricultur-
list shows has been wonderfully sue
cesSful IL bphOOyeS the Grange in
these States to see that the proper
laws are enacted, and to organize
mutual insurance companies within
the Order as soon as practicable

No PROFIT IN WINTERIMG Poor
ANIMALS. Now is the time TO get rid
of the poorer animals. 1t will not
pay TO winter them, as better animals
will give larger returns for shelter,
care and feed. 1t is not economy to
TO keep a poor animal through any
season; but it is most entravagant TO
keep il through the winter. 1t is the
height of folly in stock raising to sell
the best and keep the worst. True,
the best bring the largest prices; but
if YOU sell the best and keep the
worst, soon your best will be no bet
ter than your worst is now, and your
worst will be such that the more you
have the poorer you will be. You, by
this plan, constantly make your ami
mails poorer; and as the stock raiser
makes his animals poorer he makes
himself poorer. If he keeps up the
process bankruptcy is as sure as fate.
The opposite policy is the winning
policy. Sell the poorest and retain
the best. And sell enough of the
poorest animals that you may buy
few better than the best you now
have. This is making your animals
constantly better and yourself richer.
Soon your worst will bring as
much as your best now. II you have
not pure-bred animals, sell enough
scrubs or grades to buy an animal Of
each sex, pure-bread. Hold fast to
the full-blooded producers and to the
highest grades. Almost before you
are aware of it you will have only
pure-bred animals. If once We start
with pure-bred animals, the increase
of breeding makes us rich in flocks
and herds of the best blood in what,
when the goal is reached, seems a very
short time.
