That farmers are practically putting
their organization to use in protecting
themselves against unfair combina-
tons is more and more evident as
events pass before us. Only a few
days ago away down in Maine" a
neat victory was gained, says the East
ern Farmer:
The Aroostook farmers organized
not to control the market, not to dis
turb the natural laws of supply and
demand, but for the purpose of pre-
venting a combination of dealers from
improperly manipulating the market
and debating prices to the producer.
And they have won gloriously. Had
it not been for strong Grange organ
ization in that county we doubt if the
farmers could so we'll have carried out
their plans

After giving many interesting fig
ures from the last census, showing the
decline in agricultural prosperity,
Senator Jones, of Arkansas, in a
speech in the United States Senate,
said
Thus the country is warned that
the greatest industry within the
bounds of our Government, the one
most important and absolutely indis-
pensable, the very foundation of all
other interests, is being undermined,
and most certainly suggests that it is
time to stop and consider whether
this decline in vigor and activity does
not indicate great wrong somewhere.
In my opinion the cause, whatever it
is, is the result of Reorganization
among farmers while other interests
are organized
in the past the farmers, as class,
have generally been content to re-
main totally disorganized, and instead
of uniting to press upon the attention
of the National Government any spe-
cial interests of their own they have
been willing to trust to Congress to
enact such laws as would be fair alike
toall
THE memorable logic of events,
however, has demonstrated to them
that they have been too trustful, and
that they are now at great disadvan-
tage before the laws, and that great
effort will be required to regain their
lost ground They are learning, too,
that to be effective their great mum
bers, must pull all together. This
can only be done by organization"

In advocating the passage of the
bill so long asked for by the farmers
in the Grange, viz, making the Com
missioner of Agriculture member of
the President Cabinet, Senator Jones
also said:
in supporting this measure my de-
sire is not to provide that the Govern
ment shall extend a fostering care
over the farmers or their interests,
but it is with the hope that wise
and Just administration of the duties
of the office of secretary of agriculture
will result in developing among farm
ers a new and greater interest in their
calling, an unity of purpose in secur-
ing and enforcing their rights, their
equality under the laws, and the re-
straint and control of the aggression
of others, so as to ultimately free all
interests alike from governmental in
reference, and allow each man to fol
low his own business inclination in his
own way, restrained only from wrong
ing others and protected only from
being wronged."

SALT FOR SToCK.-A French govern
ment commission appointed to inquire
into the use Of salt for domestic ami
mails reported on the matter as fol-
lows: 1. Salt ought to be given to do
nestle animals TO replace the saline
matter washed out of their food by
boiling, steaming, etc. 2. Salt coun-
teracts the i'll effects of wet pastures
and food on sheep, and prevents foot
rot 3. 1t increases the flow of saliva
and therefore hastens fattening 4.
In making mixtures of chaff, potatoes,
beets, bran, oilcake, etc, salt always
ought to be added. The daily allow
ance recommended by the commission
was: For mich cow or OK, 9 ounces,
for a fatting stall fed OK, % to ~
ounces, for a fatting pig, 1 to u
ounces, for lean sheep, to of an
ounce, for horse; ounce.

PATRONS OF mUsBANDRY.
MORTIMER WHITEHEAD.

To all who are noting passing events
it is plainly evident that the farmers
of this country are becoming more
and more convinced that they must,
as a matter of self-preservation, Or
ganize and use their united strength,
as do all other classes, in promoting
their welfare And that the Grange,
as the oldest and best pioneer organi-
zation, is growing in strength and
popular favor is also plainly evident.
From all sections of the country come
the reports of new Oranges and revi-
val of interest in localities where 1T
had become partially dormant after
the feverish growth of years ago,
when. like tidal wave, it passed over
the country 1t is no shallow growth
this time; the soil is better titled, and
the plant has depth of root. From
the increase in the last three months
the outlook is that at least double the
number of new Oranges will be started
this year as last, and the last was the
best in over ten years.
One of the best evidences of the
growth of the Grange and the desire
of its members and others to know
more of it is the very marked increase
of circulation of Grange literature.
The papers of the Order are being
better supported than ever before,
helping and being helped. A letter
from A. B. Ogle, one of the editors of
the Grange News of Illinois, says;
We'll it looks like old Illinois is get
ting into shape to do something in
Grange work. The News is booming.
Our circulation in February, 1888, was
almost double what it was i'll Febru-
airy, 1887"

CUTTING SEED PoTAToES.-Much
has been said and written about cut
ting potatoes for planting, and many
experiments have been tried in vari
Gus parts of the country. 1t must be
evident to all that soil and cultivation
have much to do with the results. On
rich soil, where thorough cultivation
is given, good crops can be secured,
no matter what the size Of the cutting,
but on poor soil small cuttings will
largely fail, because there is not suffi-
cient substance in them TO sustain
growth for any length of time. Whole
tubers and large cuttings induce early
and strong growth. The crop is also
earlier and larger than where small
cuttings are planted, but the per cent
of small potatoes is greater. Taking
this into account it will readily be
seen that the increase in crop secured
by using whole potatoes is not all
profit, besides the cost of seed is
greater.
On the other hand, the yield where
one-eye cuttings are planted is gen
orally light, even though the potatoes
are nearly all large. Below are given
results obtained at the Ohio Expert
ment Station. Large potatoes were
used in all cases:
