Cordial WORDS for the Cranpe.

Rev. Thomas X. Beecher of Elmira, n.
Y, in an address to the state grange, paid
the following tribute to the grange and
grange work: "When first met with the
state grange, said you have done what we
in our churches have failed to do You
have brought together men and women and
kept them together on some plan of mutual
improvement That you have succeeded
shows you are more nearly church than
you dream of, for a church should be an
ideal society. In our church we have not
perfected an ideal society yet, and | am
still hungering for that ideal society, a Wis
ion of the kingdom of God The grange
comes nearer to that vision than any socie-
ty know of. As you do not have politics
in your grange, so | charge you do not talk
what men call religion. BE men and wOm-
en-. 1t is how we treat one another that
makes character, and character is the only
thing that has value before God. Charac-
ter can not be bought. 1t is the things you
work for with genuine hunger that make
you worthy.

THE HOUSEHOLD.
The DIetetIc Whine oc snlt.

n recent article on sanitary living calls
attention to the value of salt in the dietary.
Its author says: "rhc most learned chem
lists have written volumes to prove the inn
portant offices that salt fulhls in the ami
nal economy, not the least of these being
the work of Prof. Burggraeve of Client.
who maintains that salt is the great wheel
within all other complicatng wheels of ex-
istence. If the blood be exhausted salt
will restore its missing elements: if over
charged with the nutritive elements of
food, salt will become its regulator Eat
salt and be healthy; abstain from it and
perish of manutrition.
Prof. Youmans i'm one of his chemical
works quotes an old law of the Middle
Ages, which condemned criminals whose
lives were forfeited to subsist upon bread
made without salt, thus consigning them
to indescribable torture. There is hardly
scientific work eXtant upon dietetics
which does not enlarge upon the necessity
of using an abundance of salt with food.

disease, as is proven by the immediate res
toration of health as soon as they are in
cluded in the foot, or their acid equivalent
employed. The physical office of salt is to
promote the action of the gastric Juices
and bile and to keep the transmission of
the fluids of the body active, to flavor the
assimilation of the albumen, of which the
blood is largely composed, and to forward
that restoration of the tissues known as
structural assimilation.
Next in importance to salt, says the
same writer, both as a preventative and
condiment, ranks vinegar or diluted acetic
acid, digestive stimulant, durctic and
refrigerant. The vinegar of commerce

The thick stems of rank growth of clio
Yer make it hard to cure by the ordinary
means of exposure to the sun. Long be-
fore these stems are dried through, the ten
der, thin leaves will be shrivelled up and
broken off. This necessitates curing clover
by heating, and with as little stirring as
POSSIBLE, and that only when freshly cut.
The best way is to follow the mower with
the hay tedder with only the least inter
Wption, and then while only the leaves
nave dried, rake the clover and put it in
cock. 1t may seem dry because the leaves
Will rustic, but leave it twenty-four hours,
or if need be, thirty-siX or forty-eight.
Then open, and it will be found moist
inside. This moisture has come from the
stems, and when this has dried off the hay

or stack The slight heating which hay
thus gets not only does not injuTe it, but
really makes it more palatable to stock.
The coarsest clover cured thus will be eat
en- more greedily than that grown so thin
and fine that it can be cured without heat
mg 1t is sweeter and more nutritious, as
wen as more palatable, than clover that
either does not go through the heating
process or that is put in large stacks with
out being previously put through the sweat,
and thus is subjected to more violent fer

heating has changed to coal or carbon
much of the more valuable heterogeneous nu-
triment that it originally possessed.

4 Specimen Bit of Paper, Farming.

PaSturing is popular, but it is a slovenly
method for managing stock. 1t involves
immense waste, and that in many ways
\ paSturing farmer would be shocked at
the suggestion that he put his hay and
grain where his stock can help themselves
TO it in winter, tread upon it and waste it :;
but this is exactly his system in summer
management. And then he complains that
farming don't pay.-Erchdnge.
The Maine Farmer clips this item and
says by way of comment: "We will wager
that the above was written by some theo-
retical authority (?) who never owned an
acre of pasture land, or COW or steer to
turn to pasture. 1t is a pretty theory to
write out on paper, this idea of growing
the fodder and feeding it at the barn, but
in practice it is pleasing fact that pastur-
age returns to the stockmen more net prof
it from the outlay than any other feature
OF the whole round of the farm. So long
as this is the case, the farmer who is after
business will be fully justified in his pas
turage, however much paper farmers may
make fun of him.

The Crop Outlook in the Great GRAIN
Producing Stntes

The report of the agricultural depart
ments crop report expert for the third
week in June states that the latest infor-
nation from Kansas is less favorable. there
being much damage to wheat by water
bugs and rust, and harvesting is much de-
layed by rains. In northern Kansas one
third OF the crop will be plump and of good
quality. The balance is shrunk and I'M
even. Some counties in Missouri report an
excess of straw. On the lowlands in north
ern Ohio and Michigan the crop was seri-
ously damaged by frosts and the heads are
small. The prospects in other sections of
the winter wheat belt are exceptionally
good. In California the headers are at
work all over the state on wheat and bar
ley. 1t is estimated that the surplus will
be 100000 tons. Spring wheat prospects
in central Minnesota are fair to good and
ahead of the average in every way except
as to lateness. In southern Minnesota the
harvest will be earlier than usual. many
fields having already headed out. South
Dakota reports the present condition of
the spring wheat 20 per cent better than
last year. In North Dakota there has
been plenty of rain, the water still stand
ing on the lowlands. Wisconsin reports
the last ten days more favorable for the
growing crops, which are thin and back
ward Notwithstanding brilliant forcing
weather of the past week, the corn crop of
the country is late and backward on ac-
count of excessive rains AMI lack of cult
Walton. As the season advances the indi-
cations are that the stand of corn is prac-
tically no better than that of last year.
The oat crop has picked up wonderfully
during the last 20 days. 1t is just now be-
ginning to fill, but there is no uniformity
or eVennesS about the crop.

The Centaur Company, II Murray New City
Arizona republican., 1891-04-01

The examples cover wide range of the "necessaries of life," which the "re- former" says have been made dearer by the tariff We do not mean to say that all articles have fallen in price like those given. Most things have not changed since year ago. In the year gone by there have been marked fluctuations, just as in other years. The list from which we took the articles cited would furnish to our opponents some items whose prices have advanced since a year ago. Our contention is that now, as has always been the case under our tariff system, the general course of prices is downward, and the articles which have fallen are far more numerous than those which have advanced in price. To show that the greater number of things in common use have not been affected by the tariff would convict the "reformer" of preposterous exaggeration, but to show, as we have done, that numbers of these things have actually fallen under the new bill places his mendacity be- yond a doubt.

 As the people begin to learn the truth about Mckinley prices, and the shame less mendacity of the "reformer" be- comes clearer from day to day, he is filled with terror at the prospect of the certain punishment which his guilty conscience tells him must surely come. He has stopped talking about prices al- torether, and even denies that he ever said the Mckinley bill had sent them up all along the line. But he did say so and must take the consequence. It is our business to prove his untruthfulness, and evidence is rapidly coming in. We cite large variety of articles which have fallen in price since a year ago in rive similar facts and figures relative to dry goods, notions, groceries and other Nnes. We have selected representative Western city, and take from The St. Paul Journal of Commerce the following wholesale quotations They need no lengthy comment.

Questions Answered.

A correspondent in Tecumseh asks:
 1. How much (what per cent.) of every kind of farm produce do we export? g. How do the free lists in the Mills and Mckinley bills compare? 3. How much farm produce do we import?
 1. About 10 per cent. of all kinds of agricultural produce. Something over . per cent. exclusive of cotton, and about 5 per cent. exclusive of cotton and tobacco. 2. The Mills bill made a re- duction in revenue--or in tariff taxation, as Free.traders put it-of about s22, ,000,- 900 by additions to the free list. The Mckinley bill makes reduction of about s60,000,000 by enlarging the free list. 3. About S300, 900, 900.
