what / see, hear and read every day In
these closing hours Of 1880.
Are they at last shaking off the lethargy
Of yearsY DO they at last, realize that
ale, who by the plow would thrive, must
either hold, himself, or drive"H Have
they learned that there are plow-shares
not made Of steel or iron, which must be
guided by the masters handy II 80, then
at last "Day dawns" for the farmer,
The night has been very dark, and the
way hard to find; but there is yet hope,
The farmers are movlng--not in indlvid-
ual strepgth-but in solid columns The
army Of agiculturists will henceforth
cultivate other fields-the fields
OF politics. Not by the formation II a
farmers party, distinct from other classes,
but as body composed Of nearly one
half the citizen soverelgns Of this great
Republic
IL agricultural interests ragriculturists
are ignored, or neglected in the future by
any political party, we shall want to know
the reason why. The farmers have been
caioled and relegated to the rear too long;
and their interests have suffered too much,
TO admit Of any more Of the stale and
threadbare "taffy" which has been ladled
out 10 us, 10, these many years, by the av-
erage politician.
We have heard Of the "Independent life
Of the farmer" that he is the "bone and
sinew of the land" until we are tired,
very tired. We have learned that this is
Representative Government, and that
the interest not represented, is sure to get
cleft" Hence we shall ask, not monop-
oily Of the law-making power, but fair
share Of representation in future legisla-
tive bodies We shall ask that in the ap-
pointment Of men to positions Of honor
and trust, farmers be not forgotten or
simply thrown in "sop," which the place
hunter does not want. We shall ask the
control Of boards having in charge insti-
tutions devoted exclusively to agricultural
interests.
In making these demands we shall not
compromise the dignity Of American citi-
zenship, but only ask for ourselves what
we are willing to accord TO others.
Patrons, "forward, guide right" is the
orders for the year. In this forward
movement our veteran organization, the
Patrons Of Husbandry must be found in
the front rank, Not wasting its energies
In fighting imaginary foes, nor in the vain
efforts to change the laws of trade and
commerce, established after years Of ex-
perience; nor foolish warfare upon legiti-
mate business and reasonable profits; but
by correcting abuses which have crept in
to business life in various ways, which
unnecessarily burden the producing
classes.
ave must have an honest share for
wife, and home, Of what the harvest
yields" Corporations, syndicates, trusts,
and vast accumulations in the hands Of
individuals must be so hemmed in and
surrounded by wise and just Legislation,
properly enforced that the rights and in
terests of all classes shall be secure.
Farmers in this righteous crusade we
want your help. No other farmers Or
ganization can offer you the advantage Of
over 20 years experience in organized
methods. We make no extravagant

THE DAIRY.
Dairy Notes,

THEY get at the real value OF COW in
Sussex County, n. j., by selling her at
SO much quart. Thus if the cow gives
twenty quarts of milk daily she is worth
$3.50 quart, or $50. The purchaser
keeps the COW on trial for few days.
THE prize butter at the Bay State Fair,
Boston, was made from COWS fed on cut
clover at night, pasture by day, and
grain ration composed of two parts CORN
meal and one part each of crushed oats,
linseed neal, and wheat middlings.
PUT white butter and yellow butter
side by side and tell the consumer that
one is artifcially colored, and he will
take the colored article 999, 999 times in
1000, 900. Let nobody worry about the
consumer being deceived. He is after
the "yaller."
BE sure to take from the udder every
drop of milk that the COW gives. Nature
responds to demand. If yOn do not de-
mand the milk she will shrink the mess
accordingly. She will not work for
nothing. Call on her for every drop
and she will keep up the flow. She is
generous to our needs when nationally
manifested, but quick to take advantage
of our neglect. Milk clean.
ONLY we'll guarded lanterns should
be used in the stable, and these should
be securely hung on hooks in safe
places, SO that they can by no means
get broken or knocked down. With the
greatest of care there is an element of
extra danger in using artificial lights
about stable or barn. The burning of
Chicago, one of the greatest confagra-
tions on record, was started by the
kicking over of lamp by cow.

Hints to HOusekeepers,

A TABLESPOONFUL of soda added to the
water in which ironware is washed will
facilitate the cleaning.
A CREAKING hinge can be cured by the
use of black lead pencil of the softest
number, the point rubbed into all the
crevices of the hinge.
KEEP large squares of thick paste
board hung conveniently to slip under
pots, kettles, stew dishes and spiders
whenever you set them down.
To EXTINGUIsH the flame, should the
oil in a kerosene lamp accidentally take
fire. throw over wooden blanket, rug,
piece of carpet, shawl, or any other
woOlen fabric at hand.
JEwELRY can be made to look like
new by washing with ammonia and water
or alcohol, then rub drying and polish
ing with prepared chalk applied with
flannel or chamois skin.
IF, before grinding the mornings
coffee, the berries are heated for four
or five minutes, or until they take on a
darker shade of brown, the flavor of the
coffee will be much improved.
DIP mildewed articles in sour butter
milk and lay them in the sun; or, dis
solve four even tablespoonfuls of dry
chloride of lime in half pint of water,
and let the goods lie in the solution Tor
fifteen minutes. Then wiring and put
in solution made of one part muriatic
acid to four parts of water.

Economical Floral Decorations.

A well-known New York florist, who
has for many years decorated Thanks
giving and Christmas tables for the sick
of the metropolis, gives this informa-
tion to those who cannot afford dis
play of flowers for table decoration.
Combining his instruction with fair
amount of taste. lady can make a
beautiful table with a limited supply of
blossoms.
Center-pieces are of utmost impor-
tance, and here is design for pretty
and effective one which will cost but
trifie. Twigs of holly not moro than
three inches long. with occasional twigs
of variegated holly and few sprays Of
small leaved ivy or golden-veined
honeysuckle, should form the base and
trail on the tablecleth out in several di-
rections. White and yellow chrysanthe-
NUNS and few sprays Of maiden hair
fern will be sufficient for center.
If more color and variety are desired,
white and red primroses or camellias
are flowers that will keep fresh. The
center will be low. and if a higher is de-
sired. make a small cornucopia for the
center, and throw about its base On extra
amount of twigs and fern, hiding: its
sides. From the center should rise white
