"Tlio moment which nt first teemed but a

joined tho Order without n correct knowl

in doing so they would Ikj nlilo to correct all
rmffcrcd, orrvlilcli had interrupted the! ilmsintss
tlio cviU, and redrew nil tho wrongs, they had
prosperity; nnd with little or mi ellort upon
their own part, further than joining tho

of tho wholo country, nnd thu combined and

that tho farmers wero organizing not only to
correct existing grievance put to retaliate for

Ambitious men worked their wny into tho

coiiuht to influence tho inindi of member with
thu hallucination of farmer' party that would

than is to bo found in thu fact that under such

presenting the SulKinlinato Oranges, nnd all
tho diversified interests of agriculture of our
common country, wo come from tho North,
thu South, thu luut nnd thu West, to look
over thu situation, counsel together, and take
such action a, in our judgement, I necessary
to foster and protect thu interest we. repre

of our Nation' capitol, thu representatives of
the people annually aascmlilo to legislate for

Tins Indill'-ireuco of those engaged in agricul

n other time and in other countries, been
the primary cause of eha legislation, which
baa degraded labor and rohlxsl it of it just

their political right, demand a fairer leprv

For till great work of ediicatlu and elevat
ing the agricultural claase of this couutry,
and to s.io them fioui the iiupcudiiig fato

consequently nro prepared to tnko an advanced

To do this effectually, thcro must bo n well

meetings may bo tnailo moro interesting nnd
beneficial to tho members, and nt tho sntuo
timo aim directly to remove tlio obstacles in
thu way of nn intelligent, elevated, honored
and prosperous ngrictiltur.
The aim of our legislation and recommenda
tions should ho to encourage and strength tho
Hubordirato Oranges. Let this object ho
kept constantly in view, for upon their pros
perity depend tlio very existence of our
Order, and tho principle bono for an inde
pendent and nntraininled agriculture in this
country, hvery nvailablo mean for dissent
intfting information among tho member
should bo employed, Thu press is the cheap
est and most effective educator of tho masses!
anil it is gratifying to know that we hnvo
agricultural journals devoted especially to our
cause, ably edited and true to every princi
ple. Put theso in tho hands of patrons and

and stimulate farmers to co-opcrato for their
mutual interests?" '
Measure should bo inaugurated to put a

or partisan nature, which aro forbidden by our
laws should bo prepared and sent to every
Orange in tho land.
To furnish n corps of lecturers, sufficient for
so wide n field, nt tho expenso of tho National
Orange, with it present revenue, is out of
tho question. Tins work must bo mainly pro
vided for by tho State Orange. Thu Lectur
er of tho .State Orango should ho kept in tho
field whenever thcro i work to do, nnd tlio
Master of tho Statu Orango should lie prepar

duties will permit. Competent lecturer
should bo contracted with indill'crcnt portions
of thu State by tho Kxectitivo Coiiimittea of
tho State Orange, with n fixed per diem,
which, together with traveling expenses, nro
to bo paid by tho Oranges employing them,
nnd n list of the sniuu furnished to every .Sub
ordinate Orange. Local lecturer should bo
pressed into the field whenever needed, and
tho lecturers of l'oinona nnd .Subordinate
Oranges should ever bo on tho alert.

A GOOD HORSE.
Ncrlbner's Monthly.
"I can't explain what a real good liorso is,"
said one of tho best-naturrd dealers in the
street. "They are as different ns men) in
buying n liorso you must look first nt his head
nnd eyes for signs of Intelligence, temper,
cotirngo nnd honesty. Unless n liorso has
brains you can't teach him anything any moro
than you can teach a half witted child. See
that tall bay there, n fino looking nnimnl
about fifteen bands high. You can't tench
that liorso anything. Why? Well, I'll show
you n diflcrcnco in heads) havo n cnto of his
heels. Look nt tho breast's head-that
rounding nose, that tapering forehead, that
broad full placo below tho oyes. You can't
trust him. Kick? Well I guess sol 1'iit
him In n ten ncro lot, where ho has plenty of
swing, and lio'll kick tho horn oli the moon.

hazel Is a good color. I like n small thin car,
and watitnhorso to throw his ears well forward.
Look out for tho bnito that want to listen to

For tho underside of a head n good liorso
should bo well cut under thn jowl, with jaw
Imiiic broad nnd wido npart under tho throt

"Tho next thing to consider in tho build of

Many wool growers havo failed to rcalizo

this direction have been so frequent, nud their
results hnvo liecn so unvarying, that it is now
safe to conclude that n man is no moro likely
to get something for nothing in hi sheep
husbandry than in any other avocation.

Tho New York Spirit of tho Times say to
a corrcsHindent, Micas are troublesome peat
to a dog, and on that account wv will give you
aud our readers tho best way in which they
can bo removed, at tho samo time prevent
their recurrence. Treatment i Wash tho dog
well with warm water for, say, aliout half an
hour) then rub tho hair and skin dry, after
which sprinkle the wholo body with alcohol)
then lodge the animal in a comfortable place,
nud keep him there till moruiui'! then get
some ground aloe (fine) and dint the whole
IkhIv over with the dust. This may lo done
at tlio least twice a week, two consecutive
weeks, and the medicin washed olf tho second
day after its application. This is all that will

BADDLE HORSES.
Tho American Stockman has some interest
Ing chat aliout saddlo horses, from which wo
quote n follows. To tho man who travels
over tlio faco of tho earth, migrating from
country to country, nothing will appear ns
moro cxtrcmo in tho manners of tho different
people ho comes In contact with than their
various methods of riding borses. Whilo tho
Arab Is tho ancient ideal of a perfect horse
man, yet our own country probably furnishes
as great variety nnd styles of horsemanship ns
nil tho nations of the world put together. Let
us tako a hasty glanco at tho different patterns
our country nfibrdsi In Mexico, Texas, nnd
tho extreme Southern Stales tho stylo of rid-
ins is finite uniniio. On tho other side of tho
Mississippi river n suitable costumo Is quite
indispensable. The brittle Is nnned witli n
curb bit of tcrriblo leverage. Tho saddle
bears an immense pommel to case the strain of
tho lariat or tho elbows of the sleepy rider,
common buckled girtli would never do in such
scientific riding. Tho broad hair band is
tightened with n cunning twist from n long,
loose strnp thnt has been "sprung" upon until
tho band is ns tight ns wax. Wo nro all, nt
least in pictures, familiar with tlio broad som
brero, slashed breeches nnd largo silver spurs
with their attached "Unifies." This rider in
his appointments nnd horsemanship Is certain
ly worthy of much admiration, for ho always
looks nt home nnd graceful when ho tries to
be. even on tlio most veritable plus of a mus
tang. It Is seldom, however, that his charger
calls forth anything hut a feeling of pity from
tlio educated horseman. Tho nativo breeds of
thoso sections Is n long way ofTfrom thu (deal
saddlo liorso of tho inlddlo States. In Ten
nessee, Kentucky nnd irgima wo probably
seo tho art of horsemanship, both in its rela
tions to liorso aud rider, carried to n higher
standard than in any other part of the world.
Hero wo find tho liorso bred for generations
under tho most en lighted rules for breeding,
and with tho solo ptirposo in view of making
him tho perfection of a saddlo horse. In phy
sical features ho is n model of tho nrtist. In
gait Ids variety Is infinite a rapid walk, fox
trot, rack, trot, lope, nnd run, changing from
one motion to another nt n practical signal
from tlio rider. In temper perfect, quick and
comprehensive. This is a point which no ono
but the practical rider can appreciate. Tho
bridle lines nro Actually useless with him. A
sliulit hcudiuiz of tho liody forward informs
him you wish tho gait quickened; settling
firmly back in tho saddle intimates to him to
slacken tho L-ait. n sliidit bendintf of tho body
in the saddle, n little pressure of tho opposite
knee, and perhaps nn unconscious motion o
t
the bridle hand in tho direction you wish to
turn is nil tho management ho needs. Thu
lines nro never pulled to turn him right or left,
but pressed against tlio sido of tho neck oppo
site tho direction you wish to turn. Leaning
forward in tho saddlo put him in a fast or fox
trot. To put him in n rack tho bridlo reins
nro pulled taut, whilo tho heels bring the spur
pressure to ins sides, lo mako him trot, the
rein and heel aro let loose, thu hands pressed
upon thu withers, nnd tho liody slightly raised
in thu saddle until he gets settled In his gait.
To mako him canter or lope settlu In thn sad
dle and wavo one hand in tlio air. I lieso nro
not the inventions of i single Individual, but
thu universal custom nmong thoso who trniu
saddle horse iii tho State named.
o now come to tho rider of this perfected
saddle horse. I In sit in Ilia seat with an easy
comfortable iraco that shows him familiar with
it from earliest boyhood. Tho stirrups nro
so long that his toe linrely rest with ease in
them, while hi heels turn slightly outward,
relieving his appearance of cxtrcmo awkward
ness that is often seen in riders whoso toes
Jiolnt nt right angle witli tho liorso ' sides.
Theso horses nro thoroughly bitted when
young nud thus taught to carry n high and
stylish head, so that when in full motion, with
tho favorite gait, n rack, and bestride by his
superb rider, the wholo make a picture that
challenge our highest admiration.

This is a dairy breed, larger and coarser

them that they are superior to (the Ayrshire
as deep milkers, it is also claimed that they
aro letter adapted to thu production of beef,
nnd lienco a Ktter cow for either the dairy
man or tho general farmer. Those iniortcd
to this country have generally been quite uui
form in color black and white spotted, or
"listed" but there is a difference of opinion
upon the color question, some writer claim
itig that they aro of all colors. They aro rather
coarse a.id bony in appearance, are large,
strong grow ers, and are unquestionably deep
milker. They come from North Holland)
ami it is claimed by some writer that this
breed tranalated to the North of Fnglaud,
formed the Uui for the more modem Short
