Strange, in a strange employ,
So pardon this hasty greeting,
From a tiuiid carrier boy.
The nights arc clear and starry,
The days are crisp and cold,
Snow glistens on mountains,
And lies in field and void
Fair Autumn has surrendered
Her sunny, golden reign,
And with the icy Winter
Lo-Christmas comc again.
See in the sky above us.
And sparkling as q gem,
With all its former %lustre,
The star of Bethlehem.
Back through the long, long ages
Back through the mists of time
Shone this heavenly herald,
ShOnc with u light sublime.
Guiding the Ancient sages,
Cropping in waning night
OF prophecy and legend.
Toward the coming Light.
a Light that shone but fecbly,
Then only al infant ray,
But spreading It'll its radiance
Illumincs the world to-day.
And as this honored Season

Radiant and bright as when

To link the NO,o and Then.

Of these organisations in Iowa and the
present winter will see the advent of
many more. There should be one in

organize. From now on until next
fall the farmers should be posting
themselves on matters relating to the

paid to legislative matters. We wait
until the election Of members of the
General Assembly is upon us before
we try to inform ourselves what is
really wanted. 1t was only through
the exertions of several associations of
farmers that the oleomargarine law and
the Iowa Grange law were passed.
Farmers can have any just law enacted

The Grange has become permanent
factor in the problem of farm life in
this country; it is building on solid
foundations, gathers strength as the
years go by, and its work is on the
practical lines of progress in behalf of
the social, educational, legislative and
financial needs and interests of the
farmer and his family.

BROOD MARES AND HORSES EoR THE
FARM.
"Brood Mares for the Farm" was
the title of a paper by A. Gardner. read
by the Secretary. The writer thought
neither the trotting horse nor the draft
horse was the best for the farm. The
farmer must set up an ideal horse, and
breed to that. He rather favored the
coacher, or rse-ofall.work, as best
for the farm, and thought that we
miOht, by crossing our trottiong stall
lions and draft mares, breed race of
horses similar to the English or French
Coach horse-but whatever we began,
We should make each step as nearly
represent the ideal horse as possible.
Our farmers had neglected to add to
their stock purebred mares. He
thought an American breed of draft
horses could be established. The null
tiplicity Of draft breeds made the pure.
bred mares of the farm nearly useless
W. H. Jordan, Of Iowa City, spoke
in regard to the horse of the plains as
competitor with our horses bred on
the farm. He thought there was little
danger from this source, because of
the trouble and expense Of breaking
those animals raised wild on the plains
or ranches. The loss of foals on the
ranch, too, was enormous. In regard
to tast-walking horses for the farm and
pillow, some thought the fast walker
would be a great acquisition, but the
question was: Which of the two-an
increase of speed, or wider furrow at
less speed-is the better? Which was
the better-a four, mile gait and l2-
inch iurrow, or three. mile gait and a
l6.inch furrow? Did not more speed
reqnire more power to do the same
work?
SHEEP FOR THE GENERAL FARMER.
The Hon. L. s, Coffin, of Fort Dodge,
read paper on ''Sheep for the General
Farmer" After referring to the art
of sheep washing as among the lost
arts, the writer said while our popula-
tion had increased rapidly, the use of
woolens had increasee more rapidly;
that while so years ago little oyer 8
pounds of wool per capita was used,
now we used over 6 pounds. But.
Notwithstanding the increase in the
use of woolens, the number of sheep
had decreased nearly one.half. But,
to compensate for the loss in number of
sheep, we had doubled the number of
pounds of wool to the fleece, and there,
fore the loss in this direction was
small, and the two pounds in place of
one would fully compensate for the re-
duction in price. He thought there
was more profit in growing wool now
at 25 cents per pound than years ago
at 40 cents per pound. To be success
full, one must be born sheep man
must love the business. Yet any one
could have few sheep on the farm at
profit. He didn't see how a man
could be full farmer without small
flock of sheep.

Seed per Length Of Drill.

ne Iatest Dulletln OF the michigan
Agricultural College furnishes the fol-
lowing relating to quantity of seed for
a given length of drill. It is stated
that careful records Of the quantity oi
seed used in those vegetables ordinarily
sown 10 drills shows that the quantity
required is usually much less than that
recommended d by seedsmen. The fol-
lowing figures indicate the extent to
which this Is true, the quantities rec
commended being taken from "Garden.
ing for Pro6t:"
PEAs.-One quart to 100 feet Of
drill recommended; $50 feet of drill
used four quarts of McLean's Advan-
Ger, or one quart to every 2l2a feet;
$50 feet of American Wonder required
3 quarts, or one quart to about 245
feet of drill; $50 feet or McLean's
Little Gem used three quarts, or one
quart for every 2e33 feet, $50 feet of
Rural New Yorker used 81 quarts. or
one quart for over 261 feet of drill;
$50 feet of Cleveland's Alaska requir-
ed three quarts, or one quart for 2S33
feet. These figures indicate that the
recommendations oe Henderson are
from over twice to almost three times
to high. The following figures will
show that our sowings were thick
enough: One pint of McLean's Advan.
Ger contains 1000 seed. A pint sowed
trife over log feet of drill, giving
something over Is peas for every foot
of drill, or plant every four.fiftns of
an inch.
RADIsHEs.-One ounce for 100 feet
of drill recommended; 1000 feet of
drill sown thickly to Early Long Scar
let Short.top, reqnired 81 ounces of
seed. In this case the recommends
tion is not extravagant.
BEETs.-One ounce to so feet of
drill recommended. Long Dark Blood.
Eclipse, and Bassano each required
four ounces of seed for 334 feet of drill,
or an ounce for 833 feet, and the SOW
ing was much too thick. An ounce Of
Long Dark Blood beet contains about
l 300 fruits or seeds, or over 153 fruits
to each foot of drill, as we sowed them.
PARsNIP.-One ounce to 200 feet of
drill is recommended, 1000 feet of
drill OF Hollow Crown took four ounces
of seed, or an ounce to ESQ feet of drill.
The sowing was made in very hard
ground where thick growth of seed
lings is necessary in order to break the
crust. Yet the sowing proved over
twice too thick.
CARRoT.-One ounce for $50 feet Of
drill recommended; 566 feet in hard
ground used II ounces of seed, or an
ounce for over 377 feet of drill. and
even then the stand was much thicker
than desirable.
SALsIFY.-One ounce is recommen-
ded for 10 feet of drill; u ounces were
used in 558 feet. or an ounce for about
743 feet of drill. In this case the es-
