Address of the Colored People ofAlabannC

To the People of the United States:The awakening or a just appreciation in

our minds to the inevitable boon of freedomprauted to 4,000,(100 of our rac e by the valor,fidelity and liitrh moral conviction of thepeople of the Northern States has inspiredthe colored people of the State of Alabama,in convention assembled, to plaee before theworld thtdr true condition at the presenttime, and also to invoke your aid to amelio-rate it. It is nevessiiry for us to all votir at-

tention to the condition of the colored peopleat the time when, as a " war measure," Pres-ident Lincoln issued his Emancipation proc-lamation, or, more properly, our conditiontwo years after its promulgation; for but veryfew of us in Alabama knew that we had Ir-ci- i

made free until after the surrender of therebel armies. At that time we were help-less, wretched slaves, dependent on the willof the masters wlioownetl us, as absolutely asany chattel property could be held. Thelaws of Alabama a. id the inclination of thepeople made it a crime for any person to in-

struct us how to read and write; and everydevire that could be thought of by the slave-holder wa resorted to in trder that we mihtbe reduced to the condition of brutes, except-ing only the, leaving to us of the power ofspeech, for without that our value wouldLave been less on the auction-block- .

Thus, having by hostile laws and immoralowners been brought to as degraded a condi-tion as it was possible for human beings tobe lowered to, nsudden edict bade us rise upand become " free men" as well miht thestrong man have hid the helpless babe of afew months' life to. stand up without sup-jMr- t.

bo In Ipleus were we. More helpless, in-

deed ; forthtjbab'j would have all to learn,his limbs would be untrammeled, he wouldknow nothing of the cruelties wrought bycapricious owners. Our limbs were fettered,our senses blunted or impaired, the life thatwe had leen trained to at the whipT'inir-jxjs- thad made a night of despair settle upon our60ul. We scarcely believed that we werehuman bcinirs when the tidings of our free-dom were lirt imparted to us. lnouru.terhelplessness the Government of the UnitedStates did in a small degree extend its pro-tecting arm to us, iu the shape of the Freed-men'- s

Bureau, which was the means of savingmany thousands of helpless creatures fromdisease and death. But the lease of life ofthat refuge of safety was too short to havethe etl'ect of placing us very far on the roadto become intelligent and useful citizens.Never having seen the rights of man respect-ed by their white masters, excepting whenenforced by the rifle and pistol, nor taught toresject any person but a rich slaveholder, thefreedman had to be taught cUilizatioii as itwas undersUiod in the free States of the North.This was a most dillicult task for want of ex-ample combined with precept.

Immediately after the slave States had ac-cepted, nominally, the Thirteenth amendmentto the Constitution of the United States, theLegislature of Alabama passed various acts.

. which became laws, that in every respect, excepting the right or sale of our persons, re-

duced us to practical slavery. These laws,known by various names, were of fueh a charaeter as proclaimed to the world that the exslaveholders' belief was still "the negro hadno rights which a white man was bound torespect." The believed then,ami does believe to this dav, and has taughthis children to believe, that we were his property, his chattels, stolen from him by a powcrful enemv, w ho had invaded his countryand to deprive us of everything we earn andyossess is a matter of right, and that it is hisduty to treat as an alien enemy every whitman and intelligent colored man w ho may attempt to improve us.

To remedy this evil, if we understand it correctlv, the nation gave us the ballot; and bvthe adviceiof man v of our race who had learnedsomething, and the ollicers of the Freedmen's.Bureau, we exercised, at the peril of our livesthe right that the Fifteenth amendment to theConstitution naa given to us, ana by our votesplaced in office those men whom we considered were most friendly to the elevation of ourrace and all mankind. Some of the menwhom we had chosen were inexperienced andunfortunately, fell into the traps prepared forthem bv the wilv lover of shivery, who hadsworn to make toth emancipation and reconstruction utter failures.

Murderous leagues were formed by the exslaveholders, sworn to prevent not only tinnegro and " Kadieal" from voting, but a No toprevent the instruct ton of the colored peopleLeagues sworn to deny their own existence.to hold no oath made before a civil tribunalsacred.to break open any jail in the State whereone of their number should be confined, andby all the ties that a common cause (love forthe accursed institution slavery) could sug- -

rrt in upfnmrtlttili tlir ft'll nimMKO Tlieowned the land, supported

the public press, and held, even after reconstruction, the majority of the judicial andadministrative offices in Alabama, all thepowers of which were directed against thecolored people of the State. Yet in despiteof all these drawbacks the colored peoplehave worked hard continually since the closeof the war, both in the cotton and com fields,a the amount produced of each of tnesestaples has not fallen off (except when eatenup by the cotton-worm- ), and the only laborto be' had in the cotton-bel- t of Alabama wasthe much-abuse- d colored men who had formerly been slaves. Notwithstanding this faithful work not more than 2 per cent, of thecolored people outside of large towns andcities have had eitherclothesenoiigh to wearorfood that a Northern laborer would eat. Theforced Ignorance of our ieoile rendered themeasy victims of the fraudulently-incline- d cotton-plante- r.

The law books of Alabama are rilled withlaw tht are not enforced when the coloredman is in the question. The Constitution ofAlabama provides for equal rights, immuni-ties and privileges for all classes of citizens,abundant funds for educatioual purposes, butall these guarantees are mere words set uponpaper, to le scotled at ty the tyrannical ex- -slaveholders, now calling themselves theIiemocratiti and Conservative party of Alabaiua. During the past two years a cry ofdown with the negro, commonly known asthe 4 Kace issue, has been taken up bv almost everv class of in Alabama, and through the excitement producedby this race appeal hundred of our jieoplehave been murdered, thousands nave beendriven from the farms upon which thev havelived, and which they had rented and cultivated, without being permitted to take apound of cottpn with them which they hadraised, or the provisions which they hadstored. The local civil authorities have beenin league with the s, and the sentiment of the communities has applaudedthe acts. Those of our own race and whiteloyal men whom we have chosen to representus hare cither been driven twav or brutallyand cowardly assassinated bv the Ku-Klu- x orWhite League organization, and thelest men in the Stute, the finest legal t.ilent,have volunteered to defend the few men whohave Iteen arrested bv the United Statesauthorities, charged with committing theseterrible crimes. Corrcsiondents of some ofthe New York newspapers who have' beensent to Alabama to rejKirt the condition of

flairs have been the guests of our spoliatorsand their sympathizers, and have reiteratedthrough their influential journals all thefalsehoods that had been coined and retailedby the press of Alabama. Theonly exceptions to this rule of one-side- d re-

ports so far, as we are informed, have beenthe reports of the correspondents of the Chi-cago Intcr-Octa- n and the New York L'rjnMic.

It is to prevent a false idea of the lamenta-ble situation of the greater number of thecolored jeople living in agricultural districtsof Alabama from being entertained by TitirNorthern friends, and to ask aid from them ina plan that we would risk to adopt to lienetitthe colored people and give them a fairchance, untrammeled by the hostility of thosewho look with hatred or contcii upon allefforts to better his condition made by thecolored man, that we address the e ofthe United States favorable to the real eman-cipation of the negro from practical slavery.We have therefore organized an EmigrationAssociation and given to them authority totake such steps as will best effect the earlysettlement of a colony of colored families inthe far West, which, in case of success, maybe a nucleus around which mauy thousandsof the hard-workin- g colored families of Ala-bama mar build up for themselves bappyhomes. The continued spoliation of thecolored people of their earnings hasrendered them unable to pay forthe transportation of their familiesto the localities w here they desire to go; andwe therefore ask the assistance of all loversof freedom and enemies to human slavery tocarry us to a portion of the country where wemay have an equal chance in the struggle forlife and fortune. To carry out the foregoingobject we have appointed commissioners torisit Northern cities and solicit aid and lectureupon toe true condition of the colored peopleof Alabama at the present time.

The foregoing address was adopted by theunanimous vote of the convention, forty coun-ties of Alabama being represented at the timeof its adoption by regularly-electe- d delegate.

A resolution was then 'passed, asking Re-publican and Indeiendent papers favorable tothe amelioration of the condition of the col-ored people of Alabama to publish this ad-dress. Philip Joseph,

President of the Convention.

The First Sign.

That the late election is just what itwas felt to be when the result was known,an expression of dissatisfaction, and notthe deliberately-declare- d preference ofanother policy, is plain enough from thefact that the Democratic party has au-

thentically declared no policy since 1868.The adoption at Baltimore in 1872 of theCincinnati platform was well understood

to be a desperate trick. The party voicewas silenced in the hope of forming acoalition which would destroy the Re-publicans. It failed, totally, and theDemocrats left the field, taking withthem the larger part of their allies. Ofcourse the Democratic party does notwish to be judged upon its platform of1838, which demanded virtual repudia-tion and violation of the national faithin the taxation of the bonds, and whichrejected the Reconstruction cts as unconstitutional, revolutionary and void.But that these opinions are changedthere is no reason to suppose. Mr. Sey- -mour was the Presidential candidate ofthe convention, and Mr. Henry C. Mur-phy was the New York member of theJMatform Committee, and these two gen-tlemen are the most prominent candi-dates of the party in Jsew York for theSenatorship of the United States. It isundoubtedly true, also, that those whowould heartily sustain repudiation, whowould break laith and tax the bonds, andwho would repeal the amendments andall the settlements of the war, are to befound among the rejoicing hosts of Dem-ocrats. But it would be thought fool-hardy to announce the platform of 18G8as the present manifesto of the party.

The congratulating Democratic ora-tors, we observe, extol public virtue andthe necessity of reform, but prudentlyforbear distinct allusions to the purposesof 1beir party, or tc its last authonzedutterances, or to its perfectly well-know- n

traditions and tendencies. It isone of the sarcasms of politics that whileMr. Tilden, amidst the pop of 'cham-pagne corks and the consumption ofpartridges and pate, exhorts his youngerDemocratic friends to engage honorablyin public life and not to allow that poli-tics are corrupting, his older Democraticfriend, Mr. John Kelly, who procured thenomination of Mr. Tilden, and who isthe chief ot the chief Democratic organ-ization in the State, nominates "Jimmy"Hayes, coerces justice in the Crokercase, and does his best to defeat consti-tutional guarantees against corruptionat the polls. Under this leadershipyoung Democratic gentlemen with ataste for punch and Parmesan are ex-pected to press on toward political pur-ity.

Hut if a Democratic policy is not to befound in the national platform of 1808,still more hopeless is the search in theState platforms of this year. They de-nounce Republican rascality with greatvigor, and they cry aloud against theCredit-Mobilie- r, and the salary-grab- , andcarpct-baggcr- y, and Sanborn jobbery,and Southern satrapies. IJut beyond ademand in some of them for "homerule" and lor revenue reform there is nohint of a policy. Maine declared forfree trade, but Pennsylvania did not.New York demanded hard money, butIndiana and Ohio reouired paper. Allcondemned the C'ivil-Kight- s bill and un-constitutional legislation. In this utterwant of unanimity, when, in themidst of Democratic denunciationof the salary-grab- , that strenuousgrabber, tSen. Banks, was elected by animmense majority, and when DemocraticMissouri, with a cry for rags and repudiation, answered with 40,000 majorityto the 50,000 of Xciv York demandinghard money, it could hardly be said thatthe Democratic victory meant admistra-tiv- e

reform or a sound financial policy.Since, then, the election meant only

dissatisfaction, although it gave power inthe Douse of Representatives to theDemocrats, what indications of a policyhave been visible since the election?There has been but one distinct proposition, and that was made by Mr. (ieorgeTicknor Curtis, of New "iork, and hasbeen generally adopted by the Democratic newspapers. Ihis is a proposition to repeal what he calls all the unconstitutional laws of the last twelveyears. That there should be any unconstitutional laws whatever is to be regret-ted. But if a party propose to purge thestatute-book- , why does it limit its action? Why does not the author of theproposition include all unconstitutionallaws? Ihe reason is evident, lo retain and extend its power the Demo-cratic party must conciliate its old alliesin the Southern JStates, and to do this itmust Uo all that it can to paralyze theamendments, since it cannot repealthem. The Democrats were driven frompower fourteen years ago. The legislation of the last thirteen years is Repub-lican, and it is that which is to be setaside under the plea of unconstitutionality. 1 his is another way of reachingthe end foreshadowed by Mr. Eaton,Democratic Senator from Connecticut,in a speech after his election, and whichwas exposed by a very sagacious politi-cian, Truman Smith, of thesame State.

Mr. Eaton said that he, "with otherhonest Senators, ' would take away " thefederal bayonets from our brothers inthe South" and leave them the right of"local Mr. Smith pointsout that this means simply declining toenforce the amendments. But if the lawenforcing them were repealed the resultwould be the same. And this proposi-tion, it should be observed, the only dis-tinct statement of a policy to be pursuedby a Democratic Congress, proceeds fromtwo gentlemen w ho w ere among the mostbitter, persistent, and politically malig-nant Copperheads of the war. We usehe word to define precisely their political

status. Thev were of the same school asWilliam B. Reed, of Philadelphia. Thisis the spirit which in the moment of suc-cess inspires the Democratic party andshows unmistakably that it is still gov-erned by its worst traditions. The endof such a policy is plain. The Democraticparty h already declared the amendments themselves unconstitutional. Ithas receded from that position, but theconviction remains, and it will easily findevery law unconstitutional that enforceswhat it would repeal if it could. Theparty orators and papers profess to ac-cept the amendments and they will notpropose to abrogate them. But in everypracticable and plausible way they willnullify them. The system of practicalpeonage proposed at the last cession ofthe Texas Legislature, and which wasadopted by one house; the declarationof John Forsyth, the chief Democraticeditor at the South, that " the Democracywill sweep from the statute-boo- k thewhole system of military and Africanreconstruction as utterly null and void,and of no effect," and this riotous strainfrom a Democratic paper in Ohio arcillustrations of a spirit that must neces-sarily be found perilously powerful in theDemocratic party:

We will use the power to smash the Condynasty, clean np the statute-book- s by remliugaway the whole chapter of Black Republican leg-islation, to place tin; sovereignty of the countryonce more in the hand' of the oiily race able andtit to use it wisely and well, reinstate the whiteman in his place of power and supremacy, and re-mand the negro to his proper position of snbordi-DHtioi- i.

Wc will have a national convention onil the States to revise and amend the Constitu-tion of the luited Slates, and there will be noniggers in that convention. The Constitution asrevised will he the Constitution a it was inISM).

Thus the only sign of any policy to bepursued by the Democratic party, shouldit recover power, is a proposition to e,

so far as possible, the settlementsof the war. And the practical questionfor every intelligent American citizen tomeditate before the opening of the cam-paign of 1870 is whether it is wise to in-fu- st

'he National (Jovernnient, with theenforcement of the amendments and theregulation of the finances, to a party ofsuch leadership, spirit, tendencies andtraditions as those of the Democratic

The Massachusetts Repub-licans defeat Gen. Butler. The New-Yor-k

Democrats cling as closely as everto Fernando Wood. That single factillustrates the difference in the spirit andthe intelligence of the tw o parties. Har-per' Weekly.

Killing Time.

Considering how fond we all are oflife, and what a transient gift it is, doesit not seem odd that ennui should evercross our path, or that we should ever beput to it for means with which to con-sume lime? When the universe offers somany riddles to be solved when there isso much to see, so much to know, somany thoughts to be thought out is itnot strange that we should ever have aspare moment lying unemployed on ourhands, rather than that we should be con-stantly seeking and inventing devices for

getting rid of the surplus hours? Notthat we 6hould never step aside from theserious pursuits of life, but in our sportshow often are we ponderously sensibleof the lagging minutes, and heartily gladwhen they arc passed! Fortunately formost of us, a certain portion of each dayis necessarily devoted to the labor ofearning TUr daily bread; but after themerchant has closed his ledger and theshop-ma- n has put up his blinds, after theartist has turned his easel to the wall,and law and order have been establishedin the housekeeper's province, and thegardener has left nature in undisturbedpossession, there yet remains a respectable remnant of the day, pliant and readyto be molded to our uses, butwhich we usually make haste toemploy in the most shiftless andprofitless manner, or not to employat all, merely Animated by the dtsire of passing time, as though w e didnot know that it is the material withwhich we build for eternity; and if wewaste the material, will not the structure be incomplete? lor the surer annihilation of time we form conspiracies "tohelp each other out of the difficulty, andthen turn round and complain of thebrevity of human life. Ihink you thatin threescore years and ten we might notfind leisure for every elegant accomplish-ment and every solid acquirement if weknew how to economize the preciousstuff, or cared to learn the method, anddid not fritter it away as if it were ofsmall account and utterly inexhaustible?Consider what profit might accrue evenfrom the average life if no momentswere " killed," not merely unoccupied,but unfruitful of thought; for each of usis aware that the idle hand is at times anecessity of nature, but the mind that isbusy entertaining lofty ideas is too wellpleased with its company to wish thehours away, and that it is only the sickor vacant brain which complains oftedium, and urgy s its owner to fill thevacuum with empty gossip and a tliou-san- d

trifles with which we could dis-pense. How many novels do wc leadwhich leave no more impressions thanfoot-print- s on the eand, only becausewe have some hours at our disposalwhich we would fain stranglesecretly, like the princes in the Tower,with the hope of escaping conviction;how many rubbers at whist do we playwithout giving attention to the science ofthe game, only because it will while awayan evening; how many after-dinne- r napsare undertaken in the same worthycause; how much over-eatin- g, drinkingand dressing, not to mention gamblingand lower methods to ears polite; howmany abominations in worsted and waxwork bear witness to the waste of "thestuff that won't endure ," how many in-

trigues have been begun and carried onin a mere spirit of ennui; how many dis-

putes and quarrels have killed the cost-ly gift for which its possessor could lindno better use; and how many flirtationsand broken hearts are the result of thissad propensity of heedless minds! Intruth, we work harder and more dili-gently at this trade of willful murderthan at any other, and while we holdupon existence with a most patheticgrip the material of which it is madehangs heavy on our hands, and w e arebegging every passer-b- y to relieve us ofit, while wc estimate it at its true valueonly when there is an immediate pros-pect of losing it, when we would gladlybarter all other possessions for a fractionof that which we lately found so bur-densome. In lact, this matter ofkilling time lacks originality; theRomans killed it in their baths, at theirgladiatorial sports, at their toilets theI'ompeiianlady devoting the entire morn-ing to that pretty craft and is themodern belle far behindhand? It hasbeen accomplished through all the ages,by kaiser and peasant, rich and poor;and with what eclat was atthe Hotel de Rambouillet, at the charm-ing retreat of Coppet, where Mine. DeStael hastened the years of her exilewith every brilliant device, or at theRocks, where Mine. De Sevigneabridged the absence of her daugh-ter by every indolent employment ; norneed we flatter ourselves that it is an ex-ploded custom or one that is losing ad-herents when we meet people who com-mit the offense every day of their lives;people w ho sit through classical concertsand Italian operas not because they en-joy them, but because they help pass thetime respectably ; people who go to thesea-shor- e or the mountains not so muchfor change of air and prospect as to be-guile ennui; who go to church not forconsolation but for dissipation ; who, inshort, embrace every opportunity of ab-breviating the time from the cradle tothe grave, not reflecting that for everyidle hour, as well as word, must we ren-der account. Harper's Bazar.

A Wonderful Motor.

If Mr. Keeley, of Philadelphia, suc-ceeds with his new motor, the transporta-tion business of the country will certain-ly be revolutionized. What it is re-mains a mystery to any but the inventor;but if it be all Mr. Keeley claims for itthe scientific world has been in ignoranceof a very powerful agent or a most po-tent combination of agents alreadyknown. He says that with two gallonsof water he can generate sufficient forceto draw a train of cars from Philadelphiato San Francisco and back, and yet heuses no fuel nor does he employ chem-icals of any kind, electricity or magneticcurrents. It is surmised that the "forcemust be obtained by the rapid decompo-sition of water into its constituent gases,but he denies that he uses any of thecustomary methods to accomplish thatresult. In the machine he is now con-structing he has developed, he asserts,a pressure of 7,000 pounds to thesquare inch; and when it is rememberedthat the pressure to which steam boilersare subjected is seldom more than '200pounds to the square inch the enormousleap Mr. Keeley claims lo make with hisnew motor may be partially appreciated.It is plain that should such a powerfulservant be added to the resources of mansteam engines and much of our presentmachinery would become antiquated af-fairs; coal would lose its inijiortance;mountains could be tunneled or leveledlike ant-hill- s, and in fact all the processesof civilization would be changed; unfor-tunately, however, for those who wouldindulge in roseate anticipations of ourcommercial future, Mr. Keeley's ma-chine, as he calls it, is still unfinished,and it may be a long time ere his dreamsarc realized.

Fatting Hogs on Cooked Food.

Some of the agricultural papers havelately denied the great advantages ofcooking corn for swine. Omitting ourown experiments, we refer to a few oth-ers. The two best farmers iwnong ourneighbors at Union Spring, who weighedand measured, arrived separately atnearly the same results as lo the greatsuperiority of cooked meal overcorn in the ear. One of these foundthat when corn was worth 62 cents perbushel fed in the ear it was worth 87cents in dry meal, and f 1.12 to fl.5 incooked meal that is, it was aboutdouble in value. The other farmermerely scalded his meal. He was in thepractice, in preparing his feed, of pour-ing ninety pounds of hot water on six-teen pounds of meal, then allowing thisto stand from twelve to eighteen hoursin a covered tub before feeding. Thewhole swelled so as to make thick pud-ding, although the bulk of the w ater ap-plied was three times as great as. themeal. He found this scalded meal one-hal- f

better than meal soaked in coldwater, and at least double in value, ofcorn in the ear. George (Jeddes told usthat his experience showed cooked foodto be double in value over corn in theear. A skillful farmer in Wayne County,who had tried it many years, placed itbetween twice and three times the value.Results will of course vary somewhatwith the manner of conducting the ex-periments.

It makes a deal of difference w ithyour cooking how you slir up saucethickening for gravy or pudding. Youuse flour or starch of some kind, mixedw ith w ater or milk. Wet the flour witkvery little w ater or milk, and beat thor-oughly together till every lump disap-pears, then thin with more water or milkand heatr well again. Let the milk, orwhatever is to be thickened, be actuallyboiling, and stir as fast as possible whileyou slowly add the thickening beatingrapidly for two or three minutes. Thismakes the gravy or custard wonderfullylight and foamy, especially if there arebeaten eggs iu the comjiound. If youtry to mix a little flour with a good dealof water you w ill have a long, hard siegein getting out the lumps. Salt should beadded before the thickening goes in.

Scarlet Fever. In this disease theparent and school-teache- r are often con-cerned to know how long a time mustelapse before it is safe to admit the con-valescent children to mingle with otherchildren. And the answer is that for amonth, at least, the body of a scarlet-feve- r

patient is casting off scales fromthe 6kin, and from the nose, throat, bow-els and kidneys discharges which arepoisonous and convey the disease. Thechief danger, however, arises from theskin, as this is the main outlet for theblood poison to escape, hence every scaleit throws oil can curry the infection.Farm Jourtuil.

Which Fowls Eat the Jlost .'

This question has been asked and an-swered many times; but now here, as yet,in print, have I seen it to my satisfaction.Writers invariably try to solve this (piestion so as to make it an argument for someparticular breed, and that one is gener-ally the breed in which they are mostinterested. Another reason is that theyare constantly giving the favorite coopof fowls all Ihe tit-bit- s, which they donot count as anything. But to answerthe question rightly would be to say:The hen that eats the most, as a rule, isthe one that produces the most. Onebushel of corn, or its equivalent in otherfood, will make nine pounds of livepoultry, or seven and one-tent- h poundsof dressed poultry, or twelve and one-hal- f

pounds of eggs. One has only toweigh his pullet at six months old toknow how much money he has expendedfor her; and if he has not furnished thefood he will know just how much shehas foraged oil" his neighbors for hisbenefit. Most farmers have a feelingthat the corn which is fed to fowls isthrown away, and that their pocket-book- s

have been depleted so much. Theyshould rather look upon the transactionas so much grain exchanged for eggs orpoultry, the profits of which are comingto them to better till that pocket-book- .

Fowls are machines to produce eggsand flesh, and we might as well expectcloth from a factory that has no wool orcotton as to expect eggs from hens notsupplied with food. When I see an un-usually hearty hen I am led to sajr, " Putit in, my lady; you are either makingeggs or meat," and I know as long as shedoes it I shall not be in the strait of theboy who was after the woodchuck of aSabbath morning, viz. : " He had got tohave him, for heWas out of meat."

Liberal feeding means liberal profits;fowls scantily led pay scanty profits;neglect means" loss of what you do givethem. As a rule, feed well or kill theflock. This should be the rule, for theresults are as sure to follow as day issure to follow sunrise. . K. F., inPoultry World.

Change Seed.

Harvest is over, and many are market-ing their wheat and corn. Now is agood time to look to the question of thechange of seed. Vegetation, as well asanimals, deteriorates unless preventedby the watchful and scientific attentionof man. Wheat, oats, corn and potatoesneed frequently change of location morethan change to another kind of seed.Grain grown in the cold atmosphere andclav soil of Canada, Northern New York,or Vermont, when taken to the warmersoils and atmosphere of the Middle orWestern States, produces far more luxuri-antly than seed sown in the same soil fora dozen years. It is the general remarkthat wheat is failing and yielding less tothe acre every year, even where new andvirgin soil is used. Change of locationis what is wanted. Nor is it necessarythat the change should be so great indistance. The transfer of seed a fewmiles from one variety of soil to anotheroltcn makes a very perceptible differ-ence. Now is the time to attend to this.It may not be necessary for the farmerto travel so far but that he may returnhome at night and make an exchangewith a fanner, and both be equally ac-

commodated. In some cases it may bedone by letter, and the transfer be madeby railroads Ten or forty cents addi-tional for freight w ill be more than twicemade up in the increase in yield. Butgenerally the increase in quantity is notthe main advantage. The improvementin quality more generally attend.? changeof seed. If this matter is attended to intime it can be done well and economi-cally

There is not enough attention paid tothe question of seed corn. This is thegreat staple crop of the West. The dif-ference each year in the quality of seedreaches in the result high in the millions.There is little doubt that the average forentire Iowa could be raised ten bushelsif this question was as thoroughly can-vassed by all farmers ".3 it should be. Anadvance of ten bm-he- is per acre wouldmake a ditt'ei i c , 1 the crop of twenty-fiv- e

million bushels. All around us wesee corn planted that raises only smalland dwarfed ears, and is persisted in forthe reason that it always gets ripe. Inshort seasons like ours that is an im-portant consideration. But the energy offarmers, the attention of agriculturalsocieties and of scientific experimentersshould produce a larger quality of earlycorn. Too little attention in this wayhas been paid to so important a crop ascorn. Often the large variety of warmer

latitudes is brought here, but an earlyfrost checks its career. No sufficienteffort has been made to produce earlycorn of these large varieties. More painsand twice the scientific skill are appliedto the efforts to get a potato earlierthan the rose, or superior to the peach-blo-

But in value the potato crop isonly a mite in comparison with corn.Mind is equal to this question if it be di-

rected in that channel. Iowa is on thenorthern border of the corn belt, and re-quires more attention to seed than inKentucky or Tennessee, yet the averageyield in our State is above either of theStates named. But there is no causewhy our average should not be increased25 per cent. Iowa JSttile llegister.

Knowing' and Doing.

Talkino w ith an employer of men theother day, and of the merits and compar-ative know ledge of some of his employes,he gave us the test by which men arejudged in this practical age by practicalmen. It is the shortest "and directestmode of reaching a conclusion with ref-erence to the value of ni"n that we knowof. He said: " You tell me that Mr. II.is a man of great knowledge in his lineof business. It may be; but there isJohn , whom I suppose you wouldcall comparatively ignorant, who pro-duces ten times the result that Mr. II.does. I assure you We care little for aman's knowledge unless it is productive.It is like a mountain of gold, locatedwhere it cannot be made available it isof no use."

Prof. Sweet, in an address before theMechanical Engineering Association atCornell University, once said: "Men arc-pai-d

for what they do, not for what theyknow." This is a forcible argument infavor of the most thorough practicaltraining in combination w ith the acquire-ment of technical knowledge. It meansthat a man may have a complete techni-cal knowledge of the laws of mechanicsand be unable to make a machine thathe may be possessed of the principles ofall of the sciences relating to agricultureand horticulture, and yet not be able tomanage either a farm or nursery suc-cessfully; that he may be learned in thescience of government, and yet be amost miserable legislator, etc., etc.

the reassert inn of all that hasbeen proved, over and over again, to betrue that the man practically educatedin any kind of business is surer ot sub-stantial - and enduring success in thatbusiness than the tine who possessesvastly more theoretical knowledge con-cerning it, and yet has not been taughthow to manage it in all ils practical de-

tails." This is one reason w hy the RuralNew Yorker litis repeatedly advised youngmen who asked w hat school we wouldrecommend them to attend in order thatthey might learn farming to hire out tothe best farmer they can lind and go towork on a farm. This advice is notgiven because we in the least undervaluetechnical and scientific education, forevery young farmer should employ theseaids in his daily work; but we wouldhave, so far as practicable, the acquire-ment of knowledge and its applicationsimultaneous. But if we were going todrop either from our education we wouldnot drop the practical. The theoreticaland purely technical should be made, asIt is, subordinate to the practical.
