For Raising Melons.

A move scheme for raising
good melon crops is thus describ-
ed by an experienced Connecticut
gardener: Dig the ground up
mellow and deep and make it
pretty rich. Then make hills
eight or ten feet apart each way,
very slightly raised and about
three feet in diameter. Now you
need as many empty barrels,
(without head in either end) as
you have hills. Stand barrel
in the center of each bill, and
press it down into the sol so that
it will not blow over Nearly fill
each barrel with fertilizer from
the stable, old leaves, etc, and
pour q pail or so of water on
each. Now around the outside
OF the barrels plant the seeds,
and when the plants CONF up
thin them ont so that they are
about six inches apart. Through
the summer, instead of water
ing the plants directly, simply
pour water by the pailful into the
barrels of compost, and it will
filter through slowly, carrying
mo sture and nutriment to the
very roots of the vines around
the edge of the barrel .
Moisture and abundant fertili-
Zltion are the two eIments most
needed in the production of
choice melons. This method sup
plies these elments in good shape.
AMI there oonht to b. no doubt
os to the result.

LORD MORTON AND FARMERS.

Secretary Morton's insult to farm
ers, that was so indignatly rebuked
by the Grange, should stimulate
rather than discourage farmers or
ganizations. The tenor of Morton's
speech is virtually command; that
farmers are too ignorant to under
stand politics, or that politics is
n,ne of their business. In times
past, farmers were informed by every
Republican sheet in Kansas, both
big and little, one horse and two
horse, city and village, that farmers
should stay at home and "kill
Weeds" but no editor has been so
insolent as to command. MortOn's
style is dictatorial, and would do
credit to the car Of Russia, or the
young war lord of Germany.
Well, the farmers OF America are
not yet safe, and the resentment to
Morton's insult is both deep and
lasting. The farmers OF Kansas
taught the Republican rings and
newspapers the lesson that, in voting
or going into politics. they would
do just as their reason and good
sense dictated, and, by SO doing,
they have at least won the respect
of their enemies to that extent that
advice to "stay at home and kill
weeds" is now generally omitted
in public utterances; and we
venture. The prediction that the
more Mortons. the more certainly
will the farmers go into politics, and
the more certainly will there be
fewer MortOns.

companies, and wherever railroad
company wrecked a road, or watered
stock, or issued bonds, the farmer,
to large extent, has been called
upon to foot the bill in higher
freights.
In all Legislation that fattened
manufacturers, the food was drawn
from agriculture. Or, in all forms
of debt or taxation, the farmer, be-
ing at the bottom, could not shift
the burden. The whole weight, as
the weight of building, rests and
sets upon the broad and uncOmplain-
ing shoulders of the Agricultural.
This ought not to be, and would
not were it not that the farmers lack
organization and backbone.
Bankers, railroad companies, man
ufacturers, mine-owners, trusts and
combines of all descriptions have
powerful lobbies in congress and in
the legislatures, and when one in
tercst is threatened, the whole outfit
combines for mutual aid. The
moneyed and robber power of this
country has formed an alliance of
defence, and our politicians bend to
that power as to an absolute sover-
eign.
The sovereignty of the people is
only in name. We have a real SOW
ereignty of allied capital, and the
farmers should organize at once
organize to fight that strange, cruel
and remorseless devil-fsh.
Up and be doing, or fall lower
in wealth and influence till ignUble
serfdom be your perpetual condition.

KANSAS AGITATOR.
Devoted to the interests OF
THE MASS 3.
A Fearless, Aggressive, Progressive
Advocate of All Reforms.
FARMERS AND LEGISLATION.

Almost one-half the population OF
the United States are engaged In
agricultural pursuits, and there is
no class that are so intimately con-
nected with the government as the
farmers. In legislation, they stand
alone in their interests to such an
extent that, if taxes are high, other
classes being in position to Shift
the burden, the burden is finally lett
to rest on the shoulders of farmers.
If transportation is high on all that
is produced on the farm, the farmers
foot the bill andso on, all the way
through.
Placed at the foundation of all in,
dustrial pursuits, and being the
foundation of commerce, and OF the
very existence of society and the
human race, the Importance OF agri-
culture cannot be over-estimated /;
and yet, no Legislation favorable to
farmers has been enacted in half a
century.
Bankers and money-lenders have
secured legislation. The manufac'
turers have secured legislation. The
railroad companies have secured
legislation. Mining companies and
operatives and miners have all been
heard and responded to, but the
class that is most potent in sustain
ing the whole fabric have not Sc
cured the least attention.
Now, there is reason for all this,
and that reason lies in the fact that
the agriculturist has generally "staid
at home and killed weeds" t'usting
in promises. No politician, of either
old party, has cared for the farmers
interests, simply because he could
be trusted to "vote Ter straight -
right or wrong.
Now, while farmers have secured
no Legislation favorable to their in
terests, there has been a vast amount
df legislation unfavorable. As a
rnlc. what benefited the banker and
money-lender injured the farmer,
because usury is a. parasite, and
fastens itself upon the latest pro-
ductions. AS rule, all railroad
legislation has favored the railroad

THE politicians would like to have
business boom just nova big
boom. We are having a glorious
one in the subsidized papers, but it
don't materialze. The boom don't
get farther than in flaming head
lines, and the politicians keep it
there. They want it to come cavort-
ing over the country and IN this
failure these common liars read their
political death warrant. The fellow
who never reads and the one who
does not get out of sight of the
cabin in whish he was born do
not know but this boom on paper is
a fact, and will stick to the old par
ty and vote Ter straight f; but to the
reading, observing ones, the whole
thing is a cruel joke, and in the next
election will contribute to the force
that will give these liars the grand
bounce.

The big fish--those having the
line attached to those having little
brief authority-can do just about
as they please, and their sky never
becomes overcast with dark clouds.
This is clearly illustrated in the case
of John E. Carr, the superintendent
of the Leavenworth coal company,
who peremptorily refused to allow
surveyor to enter the mine to
ascertain whether the company was
stealing coal from Missouri farmers.
He was arrested and sent to Jail and
confined in the OFFICE, and after
wards released on writ of habeas
corpus. Had he been poor man,
with no advocate at court, he would
be in Jail yet-not merely in the
Office of the Jail, but in the prison
proper. That all are equal before
the law is only fne-spun theory.
The practical part is delusion.
