What Is FreemaSonry?
By r. h. Nus.

One of Freemasonry's fundamental
laws prohibits all political discussions.
Its members are enjoined to be good
citizens; to promote the general well
fare to conform to the laws of the
counsry in which they reside; not to
c%ountenance disfoyalty or rebellion +:
and thus il assumes toward the State
a loyalty and approval of good order,
and is therefore not inimical to any
good governments. 1t has never been
prescribed by any country. except
such as are noted for oppression OF
the people, and opposed to free
schools, free speech and freedom to
worship God according to the dictates
of ones own conscience.
And similarly, it sur the same
federation towards churches. 1t
leaves untouched all dcctrinal tenets /;
Keeps aloof from all UNCONVENTIONAL
entaaglements which the numerous
sests lave fabricated insists on toler-
ance and charity in the daily walk
and conversation of its members:

Love, Relief and Truth. II requires
an unfeigned belief in the one true
and living God; that its members
keep themselves unspotted from the
vices that would stain a pure and up
right character: and 10 care for the
widows and orphans of its deceased,
or poor brethren. Uames must have
been a Mason.)
The only thing it does take into
consideration is the inward moral
worth of its fellows; leaving to each
one his own individual opinion Of de-
batable questions; and thus it unites
men of worth OF all countries, sects
and opinions, and conciliates true
friendship between those who might
otherwise have remained at a pepetu-
al distance.
1t teaches us not to engage in any
business or occupation upon which
we may not ask Gods blessing; re-
quires its members to invoke His aid
in all laudable undertakings to be
prudent at all times, and temperate
in all things to befriend every wor-
thy brother in want or distress: and
to warn him of his faults and aid him
in reformation.
Thus Freemasonry is neutral
ground for all political and religious
opinions, and within its sacred pre-
cints all such controversies which
often have so embittered life and set
eve good men at loggerheads, are
happily avoided.
Organizations, even that Of church,
es, are forever secondary when it
comes to the point of character build
ing and noble, pure, upright living.

Red Jacket was strange nghiit.
Even his own people did not ,khpy
whether to despise or honor him. In
battle he was a coward, In council
he was a genius. He was at once a
patriot and low politician; a. re-
former and crook; friend to the
white men and their bitter foe. His
eloquence could sway a whole Indian
nation" He could plan inspired
campaigns of war or diplomacy. Yet
he shrank from fighting and often
failed to live up to his own teachings.
He sought to turn the Indians from
drunkenness, etc. Yet he died an
imbecile drunkard.

Red Jacket was born near Geneva,
N. Y, in 1851, and succeeded the
great Brant as chief of the Wolf tribe

contempt nicknamed him 1.-THE Cow

Jacket became the foremost man in

who admired deeds rather than

rather than as a warrior, that Red
Jacket distinguished himself during
the revolutionary years.

There is no theme upon the farm
that will so benefit the farmer as to
keep the quarters and surroundings
of the farm in a sanitary and health
full condition where swine are kept.
Nowhere will an outbreak of chol-
era become SO disastrous as upon the
farm where these animals are kept
with dirty, filthy surroundings, and
no care taken in the disinfection of
the nesting places and slop troughs
during the summer time.
Upon our farm we have never prac-
tfced the method of keeping herd
of swine in one place very long, and
never do we fatten out more than one
bunch Of animals in the same field
in one year, preferring rather to shift
place.
We have no permanent quarters,
but rely upon the service of the cot,
shown in the illustration.
These hunks can be shifted about
easily upon runners, and many times
each year are changed from one field
to another, or from one pen to an
other, thus We always have the ami
mails in fresh sleeping quarters, and
upon fresh forage. While the animals
are located upon new range, we
break up the old range, cropping It
in some profitable farm crop, thus get
