Protection for Birds.
Wc clip llio following resolutions,
passed by Neosho Grange, No. 523, 1'.
of II., from one of our exchanges.
"We think the protection of the birds
is a subject of legitimate inquiry, by
the Grange, and wc suggest that the
committee on the "Good of the Order,"
in each Grange, take this question un
der immedinto consideration. Let
them bring it up for discussion by the
Grange, in order that all may properly
understand it. Wc think the whole
sale slaughter of tho birds is indulged
in, and permitted by the fanners, more
from ignorance than' anything else.
Let the truth bo known, and then stand
by your friends, the b'n ds, and you will
never have reason to regret it.
Wc like the sentiments of the editor-in-chief
of this paper on, the subject of
a law protecting quails, prairie chick
ens, etc., from being killed, for a peri
od of live years. It is not beneath the
dignity of our legislators to come
down to the enactment of such a law.
Let our wise men laugh at the intro
duction of bills of that character, and
thus kill the bill, but the time is com
ing, and wc think not very far distant,
when the people will call them to an ac
count for their stewardship.
Here are the resolutions:
Whleeas, We view, with the deep
est indignation, the wholesale slaugh
ter of prairie chickens, quails and small
birds, bv reckless sportsmen ; therefore
be it
Jlcsohed, That we will use all legal
means within our power to suppress
this wanton destruction of these bird",
so useful to the iurmer in destroying
the insects that devour his crops.
How Birds Savod a Crop.
Our old friend, Col. Caleb ilay, now
of Montgomery county, gave us a call
yesterday. He was ouc of the first
settlers in Atchison county, and has
lived in Kansas since 1851. He has
never, ho says, failed to laisc a good
crop since he located in this State,
cither iu Atchison county, where he
lived until about 1867, or in Montgom
ery county, where he has sinco resided.
Col. May states that the birds saved
his crops this spring. The locusts
hatched out on his farm in countless
myriads, but shortly after they began
to make their appearance, thousands
of small brown birds, known as the
"rice bird," and multitudes of finches,
also put in an appearance. These
lively little birds began an immediate
and reloutlcs war upon the young lo
custs, and kept it up for three weeks
without cessation. At the cud of that
time Col. May states that there were
few of the locusts left. The were
very small at that time, and each bird
destroyed hundreds, probably thous
ands of them, every day. Col. May
believes in protecting the birds. He
will allow no man to fclioot, trap or
suarc any bird on his place. And he
advocates the passage of a stringent
law prohibiting the killing of birds at
any season of the year, within tho lim
its of this State. He has had a prac
tical example, he says, of the value of
birds as insect destroyers. Atchison
Champion.
There is no fruit that can be raised
easier anil with less labor thau the
grape. Every farmer in Southwestern
Kansas could have an abundant sup
ply of grapes for his table, if he had
only expended a little time and money
two years ago, in setting out a vine
yard. A few men in our valley did so,
and they are now enjoying tho luxury
of as nice Concord grapes as ever grew
in any country. Our market is now
supplied with grapes that grewhercat
home. Twelve and a half cents per
pound mako them a little too much of
a luxury, however, for most of our
people. Wc hdpe in two years from
this date to fcee them Bell on the streets
of Wichita for three cents a pound,
and a vineyard in nearly every garden
in tho country.
A call meeting of the board of di
rectors of tho Patrons' Commercial
Agency was held at the new Grange
warehouse, north of the depot, last
Saturday.
Social Leanncs3 Among Fanners.
The American farmer, in all his
planning and all his building, has nc--cr
mado provision for life. Ho has
onlv considered the means of getting a
living. Everything outside of this
everything relating to society and cul
turehas been steadily ignored. Ho
gives his children the advantages of
schools, not recognizing tho fact that
these vcrv advantages call into life a
now set of social wants. A bright,
well-educated family, in a lonely farm
house, is very different material from
a family brought up iu igtioraucc. An
American fanner's children, who have
had a few terms at a neighboring
academy, resemble in no degreo tho
children of tho European peasant
Thev como home with new ideas and
new wants, and if there is no provi
sion made for these new wants, and
they find no opportunities for their
satisfaction, they will bo read-, on
reaching their majority, to fly the
farm and sock the city.
If the American farmer wishes to
keep his children near him, he must
learn the difference between living and
getting a living: and wc mistake him
and his grade of culture altogether, if
ho docs not stop over this statement
and wonder what wc mean by it.
To got a living, to make money, to
become "forehanded" this is the
wholo of life to agricultural multi
tudes, discouraging in their numbers,
to contemplate. To them tlicro is no
difference between living ami getting
a living. Their whole life consists in
getting a living; and when their fam
ilies come back to ihcm from their
schooling, and find that, really, this is
the only pursuit that has any recogni
tion under the paternal roof, they must
go away. The boys push to the cen
tres of the cities, and tho gills follow
them if they can. A young man or a
young woman, raised to tho point
where thev apprehend the difference
between living and getting a living,
can never be satisfied with the latter
alone. Either farmers' children must
be kept ignorant or provision must be
made for their social wants. Brains
and hearts need food and clothing as
well as bodies ; and those who have
learned to recognize brains and hearts
as the best and most important part of
their personal possessions, will go
where they can find the ministry they
need.
What is the remedy? How shall
farmers manage to keep their children
near them? How can wo discourage
the influx of unnecessary nay burden
some population into the cities? Wc
answer : IJy making agricultural soci
ety attractive. Fill tho farm houses
with periodicals and books. Establish
central reading rooms, or neighbor
hood clubs. Eucourago the social
meetings of the young. Have concerts,
lectures, amateur dramatic associa
tions. Establish a bright, active social
life, that shall give some significance
to labor. Above all, build as far as
possible in villages. It is better to go
a mile to one's daily labor, than to
placo one's seir a mile away from a
neighbor. The isolation of American
farm lifo is the great curso of that life,
and it falls upon the women with a
hardship that the men cannot appreci
ate, and drives the educated young
avray.Scribncr'sZIonthly.
Tho New Orleans Picayune says :
"Wc feel confident that the Louisiana
Grange Agency, with its rapidly in
creasing business with all its sections,
will ere long be one of the features of
New Orleans. Not only does it fur
nish supplies to the farmers of our
State at bottom prices, but it also ii
duces shipments of the produce of
western Granges to our doors and
sends them iu return the products of
our soil. The agency also has an of
fice at the stock lauding, with yard and
pasturage for cattle of all kinds. This
branch of tho business has been very
successful, and the correspondence
from this Stale, Texas, Ket:tucky,etc,
indicates for tho future a large in
crease. The saving to tho planlcro iu
ordering through their Grango Agent,
not only their groceries and dry goods,
but agricultural iniplcmduts, wagons,
stove, sewing machines, etc., on all
of which they receivo the full discount
furnishes them with a surplus availa
ble for improving their homes or farms
Ex.
The growth of grass on our prairies
this year, is much more rank than usu
al, and farmers would do well to be
gin now to make fire-breaks around
their buildings, their hay and grain
Every year thousands of dollars arc lost
by fire, and all through negligence. It
will only require a few hours' work to
complete the work, and then you are
safe. If you have occasion then to be
absent from your place a day or two,
) ou can go away and feel sure that,
when you return, tho fire fiend will not
have consumed the hard earnings of a
long life. Wc have noticed a good many
corn fields, too, that will need protection
to keep the fires from running through
them. Even fields that were compar
atively free from weeds at the time
the corn was laid by, arc now badly
overgrown with weeds and grass. Our
abundant rains during the entire grow
ing, season, is tho cause of it all. Don't
neglect protection from fires.
Ko Room for Loafers in tho Grango.
Wc occasionally meet some who
have gained admittance into the
Grange, that have entered it under an
entire misapprehension of its mean
ings and objects. They seem to have
thought that all they had to do, to
grow suddenly rich, was to join the
Grange; and now, because thoir fool
ish and unreasonable expectations arc
not suddenly realized, they have lost
confidence iu it and think it a humbug.
Now, suppose such a one had bought
a farm with similar views (and they
would be just as reasonable), and then
sit down, expecting thai farm to make
him rich, without plowing, planting,
cultivating, etc., would tho farm be a
humbug ? Monthly Talk.
Get thobesthands, aud keep them.
When a man has become used to his
work and his employer, ho is worth
more than a stranger. There is n way
of making men interested iu their
work, of satisfying their self-respect,
treating them courteously and reason
ably, giving them credit for success,
while holding them strictly responsible
for failures, and above all. by paying
thom promptly and liberally, that will
make tho work worth double what it
would otherwiso be.
Ono of our exchanges says: "Dy the
new law tho tax on tobacco has been
increased four cents per pound, cigar6
one dollar per pound, ana whisky
twenty cents per gallon. Down with
a government which will persist in en
hancing the cost of the nccesiarie3 of
life."
