What the Grangers Have Done.

Thv Influence of the Grangers’ movesrysiatffsrsiiai omms of every monetary institution In this country. It has brought fictitious, inflated values down to real values. It has pat a strap to the operations of stock gamblers ana swindlers. It has brought many down from the hfch suite on wlilch they have been taking colossal strides to the solid earth, where they walk very much as other oommon mortals. It has stopped the spirit of speculation. It has given credit Its death blow. It has made more wary and cautious every business man. It has poured hot shot into the auks of corrupt rings, unUl their number* are thinned and they are left harmless for evil. It has put a stop to extravagance and recklessness in the expenditure of money for private or public purposes. It has killed off the whole race of salary-grabbers. It has made the very word “ back pay” ignominious. It has been more effective in slaying politicians than Samson was in slaying Philistines. It has filled the very air with the spirit of reform. The year of 1878 will be a memorable one. A new era will date from it It was inaugurated by the farmers. But the work which they set out to do has only begun. There is an Augean stable to cleanse. The purity that existed in the early days of the Republic must be restored. Every farmer must gird up his loins and prepare to bear his part in the contest against the corruption of the times.— Burnt World.

Wisconsin Railroad Law.

At the late session of the'Legislatnre.of Wisconsin a law was enacted relating to railroads, the substance of which may be thus stated: All railroads in Wisconsin are divided into three classes, A, B, and C. Class A includes all railroads or parts of railroads in Wisconsin now owned, operated, managed, or leased by the Milwaukee & Bt. Paul Railway Company, the Chicago & Northwestern Railway Company, or the Western Union Railway Company. Class B includes all railroads owned, operated, etc., by the Wisconsin Central Railway Company, the Green Bay & Minnesota Company, and the West Wisconsin Railway Company. Class C includes all other railways in the State. Individuals, companies and corporations owning or operating these railways shall be limited in compensation per mile for the transportation of passengers with ordinary! baggage as follows: Class A, 3 cents per mile; Class B, 3 1-2 cents; Class C, 4 cents: children under twelve years of age to be charged one-half these rates. For freight purposes the roads are divided into four general classes, 1,2,3 and 4, and into seven special classes, designated as Classes D, E, F, G, H, I and J. Class.D shall comprise ail grain in car loads; Class E shall comprise flour in lots of fifty barrels, and lime mlcts of twentyfour barrels or more ; Class F shall comprise salt in lots of sixty barrels or more, and cement, water-lime and stucco in lots of twenty-four barrels or more; Class G ■ball comprise lumber, lath and shingles in car loads;'Class H shall comprise live stock in car loads; Class I shall comprise agricultural implements, furniture and wagons; Class J shall comprise coal, brick, sand, stone and heavy fourth-class articles in car loads; and in addition to the several articles in the special classes, shall be added others, specified further on in the law. All other articles not by the law. designated in classes shall be classified into the four general classes by the Board of Railroad Commissioners. The law then fixes as the maximum rates to be charged for the transportation of freight as follows: Class D—Bix cent* per 100 lbs. first 85 miles; 4 cents for second 85 miles; 8 cents for each additional» miles up to 800 miles: and for each 85 mile* over 800 miles, one-halt cent per 100 pounds. Class K—Twelve cents per barrel for first 25 miles; 8 cents for the second 85 miles; 4 cents for the third and snbseqnent 85 miles; bnt for each 85 miles over 800 miles 1 cent per barrel. Class F—Fifteen cents per barrel for the first 85 miles: 6 cents for the second; SVi cents for each additional 25 miles; over 800 miles IK cents per barrel for each 85 miles. , 85 miles; $5 for the second; and 82 for each succeeding 96 miles. Class H—Ten dollars per ear load for the first 85 miles; $7 tor the second; and $4 for each additional 8 • miles. Class I—Eleven dollars per car load for the first 85 miles: fie for the second; and *3 for each additional K miles. Class J—Eight dollars per car load for the first 25 miles: $f tor the second; and *2.50 for each additional 25 mile*. The maximum rates to be charged by the roads belonging to Classes A and B, and for transportation in the four general classes, are fixed at those charged by these companies June 1, 1873. No company is authorized to charge or receive any greater rate of compensation than is provided by the law, under a forfeiture of right to receive any compensation what ever; and any agent or officer who shall refuse to receive freight on account of the compensation being too low,or shall charge • and receive in excess of the legal rates, shall, npon conviction, pay a fine of not over S2OO, and the injured person may recover by suit three times the amount of the excess. The Governor on or before May 1,1874, shall appoint three Railroad Commissioners to serve three years —these Commissioners to have full authority to examine the books of all railroad companies, administer oaths, examine witnesses, Compel their attendance, and the production of papers, etc. The Board shall, in January of each year, make a report, showing the actual cost of each railroad in the State; the gross receipts of each road for the year preceding; the net earnings; the interest bearing debt, and the interest paid; the amonnt of the debt incurred for operating expenses; and a computation of how much of the debt is chargeable to that part of each road now lying within Wisconsin. The Commissioners are also to classify all kinds of freight not specially classified by the law. The decisions of Commissioners are to be binding on the railroad $, with reference to this classification, and every violation of the regulations is to be punished by fine. The salaries of the Commissioners are fixed at $2,500 a year each, with $3 per day for traveling expenses. Nothing in the act, however, is to be construed as abridging or controlling the rates of freight by any railroad company for transportation of freight coming from beyond the boundaries of the State, and to be carried across or through the State—the power of the railroad companies with respect to that freight is to remain as before. The law goes into operation at once. —Chicago Tribune.

An Exciting Rowing-Match.

A tockg man of this city facing at an up-river town a few days ago took a skiff to row to the next town down stream. About the time he put out he noticed a man and woman in a similar boat on the opposite side of the Ohio, toe man palling with all Us might down stream. The Evansville youth did not want to be beaten by a man who had aload while he had an empty skiff; so he bent himself to the work with great energy. Row as hard as he might toe oarsman on the other side kept ahead cf him, until toe yonng man made up his mind (hat there was something wrong with toe current, and he tried to cross. This seemed to give additional energy to toe other oarsman, whose “feathered oar" was plied with such a will that he gained sensibly, and our EvansvfUer «£n>ped back, but still kept toe couple in After half a day'y row toe stogie oarsptan stopped at»town, rested, and did

such business as he found, and took the next steamer for home. On the way down the steamer was hailed, and the couple from the skiff got aboard. The young man, after a short time, approached the "Ohampkm oarsmau and remarked.- “ Well, yotf beat me, didn't you, but I tried hard to get ahead.” “Thnnderaflion!” exclaimed the man, “ was that you a pullin’ after us? I tho’t It was Line’s dad, an’ I jest lit in with all my might; but it’s uo use now; we’s married for good now, stranger, an’l wouldn’t row that hard even es the old man was to heave in sight.” —Evansville (hid.) Journal. ' ,

How to Open Letters.

A young lady recently called at the Registry Department of the Sacramento Postofflce, according to the Record, of that city, and asked for the privilege of reopening & letter which she claimed to have dropped in the box that morning, j The Postmaster, after finding the address and taking a particular description of the missive sought, obligingly searched among the letters in the ‘‘drop,” and, finding the letter, proceeded to open it in the presence of the writer. In doing this the officia. used a common lead pencil, j but the lappel of the envelope was stuck to “ stay stuck,” and a general mutilation was imminent Observing the unprofessional method, the lady said decidedly : “ Give it to me; let me show you.” The letter was handed over, when the fair manipulator deftly ran the thumb-nail under the edges of the raising it neatly. Following this up with delicate touches in kind, it soon became apparent that the opening, without leaving a trace of the manipulation, was only a question of time. The Postmaster and deputy looked on in charming and innocent interest. The performance was a high art; a deft facility eloquent of patient practice. Neatly the work Was done, ana as the careful opening was completed the lady remarked, by way of explanation merely, and lest some inference unfavorable to the legitimacy of this skill might be drawn: “ I used to he in a Postofflce myself, you see; I learned how it’s done, as you know.”. That Postmaster and that deputy depose that they “see,” but they aver that the obvious meaning of the words “ you know” contains an insinuation, ana that anybody that says so is “ another."

Legal Pugnacity.

A lawyer named Devoy undertook to cowhide a professional brother in Bt. Louis, one day last week, and succeeded in administering four or five well-directed blows before he was pulled away by some by-standers. The whipped lawyer thought of prosecuting, but the Republican says: “It is not very probable that he will, as lawyers seldom take any law in theirs, any more than doctors take their own pills.” Thqre is a huge moral in the idea in the quoted sentence. Lawyers seldom have lawsuits, except occasionally to keep a creditor a year or two out of his money, or to foreclose a mortgage, or get a piece of ground away from some poor devil on a tax title for less than a thousandth part ot its value. One of the greatest benefits which the Granges, Farmers’ Clubs, Sovereigns of Industry and other organizations of a recent formation will confer on the public will be to do away with lawsuits by friendly arbitration. —Industrial Age.

Cleanliness in Farming.

A sloven is never a good farmer. No i matter how industrious he may be, or saving of time and money, if a due regard is not paid to cleanliness very great success will never crown his efforts. We, of course, do not allude to the person ot the farmer, for that is his own business; whether he ever takes a bath or combs his hair is nothing to us, nor does it concern the principles we wish to inculcate or the errors we would warn him against at this time. But clean farming is the great leature in successful farming, and the man who neglects to keep his fence corners clesi or weeds is . off the track, and the .j sooner he gets on again the better. It may be asked what have a few dead or live weeds in out-of-the-way places to j do with good crops, or what does it matter if there are heaps of old brush, straw, ‘ manure or rubbish lying undisturbed in 1 the back yards or fields? These do no harm, it is said, if let alone, and it will take time to remove or put them out of the way. Suppose these materials are not needed for manure or other purposes, are they really harmless? No; for it is in sucli rubbish heaps that hundreds of species pf noxious insects breed and come forth to attack the farmer’s fruits, flowers and grain. That great pest of corn and wheat in the Western States, the chinch bug, hibernates in winter in heaps of grass, weeds, and other rubbish, which is found in greater or less abundance about every farm; also our common souash bug, which preys upon various kinds of vines. Consequently the greater the amount of such rubbish about the farm the better the opportunities for the increase of these pests. The moths, which gre the parents of the cotton and corn worm, also live through the winter under leaves, grass and weeds, which, if burned late in the fall or early in spring, would destroy immense numbers of these destructive in sects. Knowing these facts, the importance of removing such rubbish and burning over all waste places must be apparent to every farmer, and this is but the first step in what 'tie would call cleanliness in farming. Old rubbish heaps of all kinds, including the undisturbed heaps of barnyard manure, are the breeding places of flies of various kinds which annoy us in our houses as well as the animals in the barn and fields. It is as important the barn, stable and all outbuildings should be thoroughly cleansed once or twice a year as it is to clean the dwell- i ing house. Measly pork is the! offspring of filthy hog-pens. Lice j on fowls, scab on sheep, scratches in horses, itch, and various kindred dis- j eases are sure indications of uncleanlincss. Then, again, there are frequently stag nant pools on the farm which are breeding places of mosquitoes as well as miasmatic diseases. These should either be drained or filled up, or in some manner kept clean and pure. If we visit the dwelling houses of ; many of our well to-do farmers we may | find the cellars fragrant with decaying j vegetables, the odors of which penetrate ' every part of the house, leaving the spores j of microscopic plants in every crack and ' corner from basement to garret. Perhaps the good housewife is -at the same time trying her best to make good, sweet butter, but fails on account of an impure atmosphere. It is well known to every chemist that butter is one of the most powerful absorbents of flavors given off by other substances; hence the often-re-peated advice to keep milk, cream, and butter in clean, sweet rooms. These are but a few of the many reasons which we might urge in favor of cleanliness about the farm, so far as it relates to filth that must necessarily accumulate in greater or. leas quafitities unless put out of the way. In the same category, although not as important on account of health, but equally so for profit, we might place the purity of seeds sown upon the farm. Clean seed wheat, rye, oats and other j grain are seldom too highly valued, even by the most careful farmer.' It is a waste of time to cultivate weeds and foul seed, to be afterward separated from the grain and thrown sway. The honest miller is . - ' -A ■ . Wu . y. ,

often blamed for too great shrinkage in the grain taken to the mill, when the fault waa riot his, but of the one who furnished the grist containing too large a proportion of weed seeds and smut These remarks do not apply to one portion of the country more than to another; for the cotton planter at the South as well as the farmer at the North la far too negligent in thia matter, and a little more cleaning up, both indoors and out, would benefit themselves and their neighbors as well as all animals in their care. As the frosts leave, begin to clean up, for it is a habit worth cultivating, as well by the poorest farmer as the richj est. —New York Sun. i

FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.

—To Dye Green.—Boil the article first ! in alum-water for an hour, then for three | hours in a preparation composed of four j ounces of verdigris, two quarts of white | wine vinegar, and four-quarts of water. —Saratoga Potatoes.—Slice raw pota,toes and throw into cold water. Have ready lard, bqjling hot; season the potatoes (after draining) with salt and pepper; fry a light brown. —A very good paste is made by taking | three ounces soft water, one ounce gum arabic, and one-fourth ounce glycerine. Dissolve by heat, and bottle for use. The glycerine prevents it from spoiling. —The Country Gentleman recommends linseed oil meal for horses that are never allowed to run out to grass, being slightly aperient. A handful in each feed, morning and evening, is about the quantity usually fed. —Hair Oil.—One pint of alcohol; two ounces castor oil; a few drops of perfumery. Shake well to cut the oil. This is said to be a splendid and nicely perfumed hair oil; it softens the hair, promotes ite growth, and prevents it from falling out. —French Mustard.—A fine French mustard, called moutard superbe , is thus made: Salt, one and one-hails pounds; scraped horseradish, one pound; garlic, two cloves; boiling vinegar, two gallons; macerate in a covered vessel for twentyfour hours, strain, and add enough of mustard to make a rather thin paste. —The Australian butchers have invented an improved method of slaughtering bullocks. At Sydney the animals are driven, five at a time, into the slaughterhouse, where there is no person to be seen. "While they are quietly staring around the strange, quiet apartment, a man silently passes above them, walking along the open beams which closely cross the house, lie is armed with a lance with a point like a mortising chisel. One by one the beasts are pierced with the weapon just behind the horns. They drop instantly, and, as soon as all are down, the other men, waiting in the next apartment, enter and bleed and dressthe carcasses.

Effects of Tar on Fruit Trees.

I wish to state a curious effect of tar ■upon fruit trees which came under my | observation this year, and I hope it may prove a warning to all your readers who may think of painting 'trees to prevent hares or rabbits from barking them or for any other purpose. These trees were painted from the ground upward, one or two feet; almost every tree—apple, pear, peach, quince, and all-ceased to crow where painted, while that part of the body above the painted portion continued to grow, expand, and thrive, as if nothing had . happened the bark, branches, and leaves all looking very thrifty. A few of the trees died suddenly while in full leaf; the others are now fine looking above, hut the body, where the tar covered it, iooks as though it had had a laced jacket of iron around it for one year, and is a half inch or more less in diameter. I think the whole orchardwill finally die, for some of the trees, from weakness of the stem below and growing weight above, are toppling over. Does this not show that the entire bark of a tree as well as the leaf is an organ of respiration ? I shall continue my obser- . .rations, and give yon the result.— H. N. . Wilson, in Southern Farm Home. —Nearly 2,000 coke ovens in the vicinI ity oi Connellsville, Pa., have suspended, | owing to the inability to obtain satisfaci tory freight rates on account of the war I between the Pennsylvania and Baltimore | & Ohio Railroad Companies. •IT matters I are not adjusted nearly 5,000 men will be thrown out of employment, occasioning great distress. Baki.ey water is said to be very bene fleial for patients suffering from inflammatory diseases. Place two ounces pearl barley in two quarts boiling water; boil down to one quart, and strain, A little lemon juice and sugar may be added if desirable. It may be drank at pleasure. —At Binghamton, N. Y., the otbr day, a man was blown into the air ninetynine and a half feet in consequence of the bursting of a boiler.

Diseases of the Blood.

“ The Blood is the Life.” When this source is corrupted, the painful and sorrow-pro-ducing effects are visible in many shapes. The multifarious forms in which it manifests itself would form subjects upon which I might write volumes. But as all the varied forms of disease which depend upon bad ! blood are cured, or itest treated, by such med- | ieines as take up from this fluid and excrete j from the system the noxious elements, it is j not of practical importance that I should descrit>e each. For instance, medical authors describe about fifty varieties of skin diseases, but as they all require for their cure very similar-treatment it is of no practical utility to know just what name to apply to a eerfaiD * form of skin disease, if you know how best to 'ehre it Then again 1 might go on and dei eeribe various kinds of scrofulous sores, fever sores, white swellings, enlarged j glands, and uicers of varying appearance; I might describe how virulent poison may show itself in various forms ot eruptions, ulcere,. I so e tnroat, bony tumors, etc.; but as all these j various appearing manifestations ot badblocd J are cured by a uniform means, I deem such a j course tfbnecessgry. Thoroughly cleanse the ! blood, which is the great fountain of life, and 1 good digestion, a fair skin, buoyant spirits i vital Strength and soundness of constitution [ will all return to us.
