0GOinE TO LaW,S

("Grange Thought" in the IIusbandmanl
If there is any one step that a farmer
may take with almost absolute certainty
that it will lead to loss it is going to law
Thousands have been ruined by it, and it
may be presumed other thousands will go
deliberately to the same fate. There is,
for some minds, strange fascination in the
idea of compelling others to do right, or to
make atonement for what has been done
wrong, so the men whose minds are thus
influenced appeal to the courts, hire law
yers, and employ what is by some optimis-
tic vagary called the machinery of justice
and enter upon course of contention that
may, or may not, have an end in life
time, with cost so uncertain that no human
calculation can be relied upon to determine
its utmost limit. OF course it is unpleasant
to be put in the wrong and denied means
of redress, or that vindication that serves
rs partial compensation for injury. That
is the reason why men "go to law when
they know perfectly well that they must
pay dearly for what they want to receive
while their Judgment is blinded as to posi-
bic results. Somebody has remarked that
''the most uncertain thing in life is the YER
dict of jury" There is a great deal of
philosophy in the saying, for facts are sub
ject to influences amazing in their opera
tons, as many farmer has found in his
efforts to secure correction through proc
esses of law of what his judgment fixed as
absolute wrong, so plain that any jury must
see it, and found to his dismay that his jury
was oblivious of truth. What
shall be done when there is supposed wrong
between two neghbors-farmers-a cor
rection is denied except through the devil
Gus processes of law Does any farmer
feel willing to pledge his acres to secure
what he deems the Just verdict of jury
in a case where he is the aggrieved party I
If dollars be the consideration he is fool
to stake many times the dollars on a doubt
full issue, with a jury of his peers to decide
after interminabe and undetermined bills
of cost are piled up TO absorb his posses
sions. For him there is "A better way-not
perfect, perhaps, but safe, a great deal
safer than the mazes and uncertainties of
law. We have an institution, not above
human wisdom, but fully up TO its highest
standard, to which such cases may be sub
mitted without cost. 1t is the grange
Take these cases there, They may be sub
mitted TO arbitration with certainty that
results will not be ruinous, so far as prop
erty and resources are concerned. What
is jury but twelve men chosen because of
their impartial judgment If found in the
grange is their judgment less impartial /.
Are they not in some sense superior, be
cause they have been selected by very i'm
partial ballots Why not take them in
preference to judges and lawyers who have
costly machinery to keep oiled and supplied
with motive force Anything is better
than ruin to which administration of law
by modern methods tends.
And we might add, if the parties are not
grangers they can still submit their case To
arbitration, with full as good a chance of
getting justice as in the extravagantly ex-
pensive courts

Color mud Con.li,n,ion.

Prof. Wallace at farmers club in Lon
don, said II believe much is to be learned
in this country by a study of the relation
which color has TO other and important
qualities in animals. The color of hair and
the color of skin are here more closely allied
10 each other than in India. We know GER
tain facts which are peculiar regarding
color, but we cannot quite explain them
satisfactorily. We know that for many
years white Shorthorn cattle have not
brought nearly such high prices as others
with no apparent superior qualities in other
respects. White bulls are appreciated in
Scotland TO cross with black polled Gallo
way cows 10 produce blue grays, but that
is an exceptional case, and high priced ami
mails are not wanted Why is it that white
Shorthorns are less valuable \ veterinary
surgeon Of large experience assures me he
has noticed that tuberculosis is most prev
alent in white skinned cattle Again, Ayr
shire cattle with white skins blister with
the sun even in this climate where dark
skinned animals are not affected and gen,
orally speaking, white noses, which are
usually associated with greater than usua
area of white ON other parts of the body,
indicate sOftness of constitution both in
AYRSHIRE cattle and mountain sheep. The
white hoof of horse is always the weak
or tender one--the one which the black
smith has most difficulty in keeping in good
order

The following interesting story, appear
ing in the report of the seventh annual
convention of the Ontario agricultural and
experimental Union, goes to show how
scrupulously clean must be all the condi-
tons surrounding the production of A I
butter. 1t was reported by the agricultural
college at Guelph
There were two brothers, both extensive
butter makers and exporters one was a
habitual smoker, while the other did not
use Tobacco in any shape or form. They
both sold their butter through an agent on
IA foreign market, and the one who did not
smoke always received higher price for hi,
butter than the other Not being able in
any other way to find out why this dis
tinction should be made, they at last re
solved to change and reverse the labels
on the packages as an experiment
In due time a letter was received from the
agent stating the strange fact of very
dsagreeable taste or flavor in the butter
belonging to the one brother which haC
never been known before while the other
always with bad taste before was nov
pure and sweet, and worth 3 cents NOR,
on the pound in market. The brother
We're now convinced that it was the odo
of the tobacco which had invaded the but
ter and injured its value.

A Fractional Currency and Lower Peat
me on Plants, seeds, Onions, etc.


It is rather too much to believe, but it
really seems probable, that this Congress
will give the people, as against combined
capital and monopoly, some consideration.
The report of the House committee on bank
ing, in favor of fractional currency IN
the form of silver certificates, and Of the
House postal committee in favor of the re-
duction Of postage on seeds, plants, cions,
etc, to the old rate of eight cents pound,
is evidence that the people have been heard.
This is a reduction of one-half from the
present rate. If postage not only on seeds,
plants, cions, etc, but on all other matter
now included in the same class, was reduc-
ed to four cents a pound, the result would
be a very great convenience and benefit TO
all farmers, and to nine-tenths of all the
people With, perhaps, higher rate for
very long distances, such a reduction would,
in the end, be sure to increase the postal
revenue Four cents pound, or one-fourth
of the present rate, is four times as much
as the price for which the mails are now
carrying newspapers for publishers.
The fractional currency bill is a measure
of still more importance to all rural com
munities. There are a thousand articles of
use and convenience often wanted but not
readily obtainable in most farming towns.
These must be had through the mails or by
express. The charges Of the express com
panies-or rather of the express monopoly
are unbearably extortionate. Even at
10 cents pound, for all small articles the
mail is cheaper than the express. Another
difficulty is the want of fractional parts Of
a dollar, except in coin, to send by mail
For nineteen Of the people it is inconven
lent to get postal money orders at the time
and in just the amount needed. Postag,
stamps cost the sender full price while they
are not worth that to the dealer, and if h,
receives them at their face value he mus
make up the loss by higher price for hi
goods. Besides the great convenience o
fractional currency for making remittance
by mail and for other business purposes
the amount issued, however it may be nomi
nally placed, will stand on the credit rattle
than on the debtor side of the people. WI
have reason to rejoice at the prospect of
fractional currency, and lower rates o
postage for at least one class of article
whose transmission through the mails is
public benefit.

AGRICULTURAL.

The reaper. mower and binder manufac-
turers of the United States met the other
day in Chicago and formed an association
10 regulate prices, production, etc, which
is probably less irouclad than full-fedged
trust, and less likely to excite the suspi-
cions Of the public The nineteen concerns
which have joined say that the association
is for Social ends only" This transparent
statement is simply confession that they
are unwilling to face the odium Of monopo-
ly, even though it may not be of the most
dangerous kind, and unless public opinion
can be brought to take very different
view Of trusts they will certainly have
hard Shedding in the United States.
