Correspondence.
Social Organization.
NORTH PENoBsoor, Feb. 6, 100.
To the Editor of The American.


To the Editor Of The american:
No neighborhood or community should
be without some form of social organiza-
ton. Ii the aim be social, moral, literary,
phiianthropic, scientific, professional,
industrial or religious, or In its scope
comprehensive and all-embracing, each
alike affords contact of mind with mind,
soul with soul, in an intercourse OF all
those graces of manner and character
which promote human brotherhood.
We meet our friends and eighbors
occasionally by accident, or intention, at
their homes, at their places OF business,
on the street, at public places OF business
or amusement, with friendly greeting
or the exchange OF few words and pass
without adding anything consciously to
our stock of friendship or awakening any
new purposes OF fellowship. AS neigh
bors each man works for himself, though
friendly and accommodating to those
around him. and is guided only into init
mate relationship with those whom his
natural tastes and sympathetic nature
reach out TO. There the law OF sffinity
prevails and our relationships are graded
accordingly.
In social organizations different law
prevails. Brotherhood is based not on
what we choose from personal tastes, but
on real forth of character and fitness Of
social standing. We relinquish for the
time or suspend cur personal choice, our
freskisb piques, our superficial preju-
dices, our long har bored animosities, il
any should unfortunately exist, and
consider the candidate not in his relation
to as In particular, but in his relations to
society in general. We are not to take
into account the order in which he stands
in our friendship, but the general worth
mess of the man as factor in society.
Now this is peculiar situation and re-
quires honest seif-sscritice and an honor
able acknowledgment of our humanity.

whom we have been at variance, to let
our little WEAKNESSES wither, our social
aversion die out, our personal wounds

able winter shed for sheep, the win
dows being closed, OF winter stor-
age place for farm machinery, the
front being closed in with Tapped
boarding.
When such n building is located in
the pasture, the cattle can be taught
TO come to It at night by giving an
occasional feed of grain there. In
this way they win have immediate
shelter If sudden shower occurs in
the night. Moreover, much manure
will thus be saved, which can be
drawn away to the fields or piled up,
rotted and spread evenly over the
pasture land. AS the manure is
dropped by cattle in the pasture, 1t
is of but little benefit to the soil, as
1t is all in one spot, killing the grass,
and rendering unpalatable to cattle
the rank grass that grows about it's
edges for several years thereafter.
Sheep enrich the land they feed
upon, but the manure dropped by
cattle in n pasture is very largely
wasted.-Country Gentleman
