ECONOMY OF NATURE.

The life history of the leaf is full of interest and is a nice illustration of the maxim of economy and service that characterizes so many things in the natural world.

During It's growing period 1t provides needed ele- ments for the development of the tree, gives shelter for the nesting birds and shade for the wayfarer from the heat of summer sun.

 Upon the application of John Harsen Rhoades, Lyman Rhoades and Frederick J.

THE STOCK FOOD CRAFT.

Among the many gratis that have been brought to light within the past year or two there Is none which comes home closer to the farmers pocketbook than that which has been worked in the sale of stock foods at fancy prices. A bulletin lately Issued by the Iowa experiment station under the caption Manufacturers Claims Versus Elk perimental Results shows these re- suits: It was found as the result of a feeding experiment in which corn was used with one bunch of steers and a well known stock food with another, to re-enforce a roughage and grain ra- ton, that the corn fed lot gained 4, 3S7 3 pounds, while the bunch fed the stock food gained but 3, 71O pounds. The corn fed lot cost per 100 pounds of gain $1071, while that fed the stock food cost SEAL This means that the use of the stock food increased the cost of beef production 24 per cent instead of being such money saver as the manu- facturers claimed. In the case of an- other stock food, its use reduced the value of each bushel of corn 24 per cent and increased the cost of beef production II per cent. In other eX- periments 1t was found that the use of a stock food increased the cost of pro- ducing 100 pounds of milk about 10 per cent. In very few of the instances noted was there any benefit derived from the use of the artificially prepar- ed foods. The bulletin is so general in its application and so practical that 1t will undoubtedly be ordered printed for distribution by the federal govern ment, when any who desires may se- cure 1t on making application.

HOW TO GROW CELERY.

A reader of this department residing In North Dakota writes wishing to know how to grow celery, and we are glad to tell him of methods which we have found successful. If celery is de- sired for middle or late summer, the seed should be sown in a box In a sun- ny window or In a hotbed early In the spring. For the fall and winter sup ply 1t may be sown in the open ground the latter part of April or early May. Celery seed is very slow to germinate, and the soil should be Kept warm and moist. When the plants have come to the second or third leaf. they should be transplanted where they will have more room and become quite stalky and four or five inches high before they are set i'll the permanent bed. For this a rich low piece of ground should be chosen, one that Is convenient to water supply. While we have raised fine celery by digging a shallow trench and using boards and stakes In the work of milling, it is just as satisfactory to dig a trench about ten inches deep of the length and width desired and then fiji In with the earth removed as the celery needs milling. In the latter method the bottom of the trench should be mellowed and mixed with an abun- dance of we'll routed manure. Set plants after shipping off largest leaves in rows ten inches apart and six inches apart In the row. Water frequently and keep soil mellow and free from weeds. The plants should not be hilled until they have reached height of twelve to sixteen inches, depending somewhat upon the variety, care being taken to keep the dirt from getting into the crown of the plant. From two to three killings should be made, de pending upon the size and rapidfty of growth For summer and fall use the White Plume and Golden Self Blanch- ing are excellent, and for home use the same varieties may be started later for the early winter supply. Celery grown In the above manner and cut fresh and crisp for the table Is a rare delicacy, far surpassing that which is shipped long distance and bought on the market. Any one who will take pains can raise it.

Report on Ritual.

The report of the committee on de- gree work at the recent session of the Massachusetts state grange was a most excellent one. We make single extract:
 "In no order is there a better chance to exempllfy its teachings than In the Patrons of Husbandry. With lesson for each degree and a ritual which leads us progressively, step by step, through the degree, we have a splendid chance to impress the candidates with the teachings of our Order. With four degrees, representing the four seasons, and the lessons changing to correspond to the changes in the seasons, we have a ritual that is based on nature and takes its teachings from the brown soil. There are no more beautiful or sentiments expressed In the language of any ritual than in our own, and any officer that fails to do his or her duty by studying and learning their lectures does the Order great injustice and cannot expect to make favorable impression on the candidates"

THE SOCIETY OF EQUITY.

An Organization Which Seeks to Con-
 trol Prices of Farm Produce.
 With considerable flourish of trum- pets the Society of Equity, farmers organization, has announced its pur- pose to secure that great desideratum of western farmers, dollar wheat" 1t has established headquarters In Chi- cago, from which point 1t will direct operations. It proposes not only to raise the price of wheat, but to elimi- nate the middleman's profits. Re marking editorlally on this proposition, the Outlook of New York says that many attempts at accomplishing this, ranging from the social grange to tho political Farmers Alliance, have been made and all have failed. A looseness farmers widely separated and unwill- ing to undertake cooperative effort on large scale has been the inevita- ble result of these unions. This mod ern undertaking evidently is not free from such dangers, for 1t Is reported that the cotton raisers of western Tex as to the number of 100000 have se- ceded from the central organization and will manage their own affairs. Lectures by itinerant organizers and conventions for the display of oratory will not hold nation wide organiza- ton together, much less one composed of farmers, and this new union must have behindit direct, simple plan for betterment of the agricultural commu- mites if 1t Is to win permanently. The farmer almost alone of the toilers of the world has kept his independent way. He has no walking delegate, no union scale, no system of licensed ap- prenticeshlp. Neither has he indulged in high finance nor In the formation of powerful trusts. Yet upon hls labor Is based much of the prosperity that makes possible the trust magnate's de- velopment.
 It is possible that the new union has 100000 members, but unless they are held with unyielding force and obey the directorate as one man 1t will have little effect in realizing the dream of dollar wheat" which seems to be the western farmers ideal of material bliss. If the farmers of the nation succeed In raising materially the price of their crops at initial points, the con- sumer must prepare to pay more for the finished product when delivered at his door unless the rise to the farmer shall come not from the consumer, but in lessened expense of getting the prod uct to market. Some day this may be accomplished, but reports concerning the present undertaking do not indi- cate that 1t Is to succeed permanently in changing the American farmers condition, which, by the way. Is not one of great suffering

If the potatoes you intend to plant for seed show any tendency to be scabby give them the formalin treat ment. This may be done by placing the seed after 1t is cut up in coarse sack and suspending 1t for two hours in a solution made by adding one pint of 40 per cent formalin to thirty gal Ions of water. An old pickle or vim egar barrel will answer the purpose nicely. After soaking the required length of time raise the sack, slip un- der 1t a couple of sticks and allow the solution to drain back into the barrel
 We have tried this method, and 1t produces the best of results, potatoes grown from scabby treated seed being Is smooth an1 nice as one could desire.

PASSING OF A CRISIS.

A few days since the country was
facing an Industrial crisis. The rail-
roads and the railroad employees were
on the eve Of clashing interests. the
latter precipitating a strike that
threatened wide interests in tic tying
up of transportation facilities.
But the matter is happily settled.
and the country at large hardly knows
how. and the threatened disastrous
strike is averted The calamity that
would have been forced upon the coun-
try from a complete suspension of
traffic has passed by and an accerta-
BILE compromise 1as been reached By
the conflicting interests.
The result is what the federal medi-
tors call ga distince triumph for gov
eminent mediation" and after such a
practical demonstration of what may
be accomplished under the Erdlnann
law, there is reason to believe that this
law is a most valuable aid in any
Industrial crisis. AS reason is the
only consideration under this law. Of
course much depends upon the intel
ligence and temper of tine contending
forces.
In this instance there was efficient
leadership OF the strikers and the me-
diators had little difficulty in arrang-
ing the compromise.
It Is a matter for congratulatio+
that in controversies of this character
the claims of the public are becoming
to be more and more considered The
recent threatened strike with its hap
by endini, is an example of the effici-
ency OF modern methods of settling
difficulties and eliminating the posai-
sibility OF disaster to the labor field.
