HOES FAIlMIMi PAY.
At u Farmers Institute, Held recently
nt M.usiuill Michigan, Prof. Fair
childt delivered a lecture upon th re
turn which farming gives to those en
gaged in this pursuit. He said this
was intended to be a review of the sub
ject from the standpoint of a student
of political economy, giving principles
of undoubted certainty, and each to
carve out his own future by applying
them.
The question, "Does farming pay?"
is variously answered by farmers them'
selves. There is no doubt of a sure
return for labor on the farm, but
whether the return is as great as in
other employments can be settled only
by a strict inquiry into all the elements
of cost. (Jost is made up of exertion.
All that nature does for us without
our exertion is without cost or v;ilue,
however useful it may be. Thus exer
tion is both present and past the
present being made up of physical,
.,'iiental, and moral energy, and the
past including all the savings of pres
ent labor, capita, skill and discipline.
These have a varying proportion m all
accomplishments, and as civilization
advances, the mental and moral ele
ments oi cost, as well as all ps.sl effort
must increase. This tendency leads
sometimes lo division of laborers into
classes, from the operatives, busied
with d;tai's alone, to the executives,
busied with oversight, and the specula
tive class, busied alwajs with plans
for supplying the future wants of man.
One of these can seldom estimate fair
ly the share of another in production,
or his effoits; and in farming where all
are found together, there may be a
wonderiul difference in the amount of
each kind of labor ;tpp!ied, and so a
vast difference in cost. The one who
thinks most with his toil does the
most, and gets the most pay. Too often,
with the investments of a lirst-cl.tss
farm, the best directed energy is want
ing, and frequently the best exei lions
aie trammeled for want of investment
along with them.
Hut actual cost gives no basis for
juices; products sell for what they are
worth, and worth is expressed by an
estimate of average cost within a given
area, and a given time of supply. It is
according to II. 0. Carey, "the cost of
reproduction." From this we get the
natural price, above which the maiket
price varies according to "the higgling
of the nruket,1' under the adjustment
of ability to sell to ability to buy, or
supply and demand. The belter the,
information poset-sed b both bujei
and seller, the. easier and fairer the bar
gain. Loudon gives the maiket price
of grain to the world, because therein
gatheied the fullest information,
in which it will not do to lug behind.
If any farmer will hold his own, he
must apply Hit principles of his busi
ness, raising mm-Ii products as keep
pace in price with their inci easing
cost, by leilucing cost by improved
methods and inachiiH s , as he can af-

He showed th:t he was an earnest
champion of long-wool sheep, and
especially the black-faced, and in the
audience where many admirers of the
merinos, and upon taking his seat, a
running fire arose along the whole line.
Colonel Dicky believed more money
was to be made in raising merinos for
wool than in raising long-wooled sheep
for mutton, characterizing that meat
as coarse and fat. Mr. Hubbard af
firmed that wool could not be grown
in Michigan to compete with the Texas
grower, who could raise it for 7 cents a
pound. The idea, however, seemed to
be that for the English market the
lmiR-wooled shep and giade Durham
cattle were preferable. Mr. Miller
thought a good deal depended upon
the fanner himself: that ono could
make money on one kind of sheep, and
another on another breed. For him
self, he had tiied long-wools and failed,
and had made money on merinos.
ROTATION.
Crops vary so greatly in tne nature
of the demands they make upon the
soil, that it becomes the most unpre
tending farmer to observe the custom
ary rules to rotation. Land that is rich
at the beginning may have thi3 quality
perpetuated indeflinitely by proper
treatment. Their lands may be im
proved, not by mere cultivation and
rotation, but by these and manure add
ed. At a recent discussion held in
Michigan Professor Ingersoll gave a
chronological history of the introduc
tion of different vegetables and the ro
fcwon of crops. He laid down the fol
lowing growing principles in rotation:
First, such crop.3 should be selected as
are adapted to the soil; second, such
crops should "oe chosen as are adapted
to the soil; and third such crops should
be grown as are demanded in the mar
kets. A judicious rotation of erops
enables the farmer to divide his farm
into suitable fields. It enables him to
adapt his farm buildings to the needs
of his farm. A more nearly uniform
quantity of stock can be calculated up
on, and thus an invariable quantity of
manure be provided. It will also as
sist in regulating the amount of labor
required .r ibe f i:n, and serves also
to erad:c tie an 1 p'.-vent the pie id -i
noxious wi'cds. Ii also enables oue to
provide for the proper quantity of farm
implements, and for a numberof farm
ers to combine and buy implements in
common. The Professor then proceed
ed to discuss the joint ownership of
farm implements, showing its benefits
in France and Switzerland. lie then
gave the rotation practiced at the col
lege, as follows: 1. Cora. 2. Roots
(either beets, turnips or potatoes).
3. Oats. 4. Wheat. 5 and 0. Grass

ond. Mr. De Forest said no provision had
been made by the Professor for clover
seed. The professor stated that one
crop of clover might be allowed to go
to seed and the other be turned under.
Another asked how great a dr aft upon
the soil a crop of clover made; to which
the Professor replied, about the same
as wheat. Mr. Miller asked if the
weeds upon the soil exhausted it. The
reply was that they did. Professor
Kidzie stated that the quettion as to
what the weeds do in and to the soil is
one that they hrd not fully determined
but he regarded the weeds as the little
pickpockets.
Mr. Miller asked if it would be profit
able to put one-sixth of his farm into
roots. Professor Ingersoll said that
that rule would not api ly to every
farm, but he thought that roots should
always be used, more or less in rota
tion, because they were good crops to
feed, and left the soil in the very best
condition for other crops
Mr. Mayo asked what would be the
best system of rotation for Calhoun
county, and gave the rotation now fol
lowed: first, com; second, wheat; and
then two years of clover, mowed one
year and left for pasture one year.
Mr. Ship said they there lacked any
system of rotation, but that many far
mers raised wheat after wheat. He
thought a short rotation would be the
best considering profits. He thought
com, oats, (unless you want to crop
twice with corn) then seed, was the
Some may feel it a hardship that the
same system of farming doe3 not pay
from jear to year; but it is the heritage
of civilized men everywhere. The
grand movement of cost in all products
of manual labor is downward, because
all discovery is designed to save labor.
So the farmer who takes the old meth
ods, brings his costly products to a
cheap market. Progress always comes
with pain to the society of which it is
born, but the more natural the birth the
less the suffering. The constant and
geneial acceptance of new truth is the
process that harms fewest; but every
fanner who studies his business for la
bor saving, makes harder the work of
one who does not.
The Cmineil of Trent.
Two hundred and fourteen years ago
last month this celebrated council com
menced its formal session. It.s sittings
extended overa period of eighteen years,
and through no less than five pontifi
cate.,, commencing with Paul III, and
ending with pins IV, the closing sitting
taking place on the It li of December,
1. -;:.
The .summoning of a general council
had been ardently desired by the adhe
rent both of the Homan Cat holies and
the Reformers partly from a desire to
have main abuses removed, partly from
a hope of effecting a reconciliation be
tween the opposite faiths, through mu
tual concessions and an adjustment of
the points in dispute by the decision of
some authoritative assembly. The req
uisition to convoke such a meeting w:ls
first made to Pope Clement VII, and
was seconded with all his influence by
the Kmperor Charles V, but the council
was not formally convened until the
pontificate of Paul III. After much dis
pute the town of Trent, in the Tyrol,
was fixed upon as the place of meeting
of the assembly.
Not only was the place seleefcd dis
tasteful to the Protestant subjects of
Charles V, but they were also dissatis
fied with the right claimed by the Pope
of presiding in the council and direct
ing it.s deliberations as also with the
refusal to guarantee throughout the
proceedings- the recognition of the scrip
tures, and the usage of the primitive
church as the sole standard of faith.
After some abortive attempts to accom
modate those dilVcrences, the Protest
ants finally declined to attend or rec
ognize in any way the approaching
council, which was accordingly left
wholly to the direction of the Catho
lics. "
The Pope Paul III, created Marcellus
(afterwards raised to the chair of Pe
ter) President of the Council, and three
celebrated Jesuits, Faber, Lainez and
Sahneron, acted as theologians to the
Pope. One of the first points deter
mined was, "That the books to witch
the designation of 'Apocryphal' luth
been given, are of equal authoritj of
those winch were received by the .lews
and primitive Christians into the sacred
canon; that the traditions handed dewn
from the Apostolic age, aud preserved
in the church, arc entitled to as liuch
regard as the doctrines and precepts
which the inspiried authors have e(m
mitted to writing: that the Latin trais
lation of the scriptures, made or Re
vised by St. Jerome, aud known by te
name of the Vulgate transaction, should
be read in churches and appealed to in
the schools as authentic and canonical.'"
In virtue of its infallible authority,
claimed to be derived from the imirc-
diate inspiration of the Holy Spirit, the
council denounced anathemas against
all those who should impugn or deny
the validity of its decisions. The an
cient formula, however, prefixed by ec
clesiastical councils to their deliveran
ces "It has seemed good to the Iioly
Spirit and to us" was, on the occasion
of the Assembly at Trent, exchanged
for the phrase "In the presence of
the Holy Spirit, it has seemed good to
us."
There has been no council, if we con
sult all the venerable past, in which so
man- questions were treated on dog
mas, discipline and morals. These
matters have never been better defined
than in this council, which may be re
garded as the faithful image and per
fect completion of all other councils.
So far from any modification being ef
fected in the tenets or claims of the Ro
man Catholic Church and its ministers,
these, on the contrary, were more vig
orously enforced and defined. In the
words of Dr. Robertson, "Doctrines
which had hitherto been admitted upon
the credit of tradition alone and re
ceived with some latitude of interpreta
tion, were defined with a scrupulous
nicety, and confirmed by the sanction
of authority. Kites which had former-

of the church and declared' to be essen
tial parts of its worship. The breach,
instead of being closed, was widened
and made irreparable." Thus the de
crees of the Council of Trent are re
farded as one of the principal stan
ards aud eonrpleted digests of the
Catholic faith.

Monstrous Telescopes.
Mr. Lick, of California, bequeathed
a few years ago in his will nearly a mil
lion dollars for a great telescope. One
of the trustees, Mr. A. Floyd, has just
returned from an extended tour, dur
ing which he collected all the informa
tion he could obtain in regard to the
construction of. great telescopes. The
conclusions he arrived at are these:
Two telescopes should be constructed
one a great reflector of the largest pos
sible size, the object glass at least forty
inches in diameter; the other a reflect
ing telescope, of which the mirror would
be at least four feet in diameter, adapt
ed to uso two kinds of mirrors, one a
spectrum metal reflector, and the other
a silvered glass reflector.
As the observatory and mounting of
such instruments cost about as much as
the instruments themselves, it is con
templated to use half of the funds do

We arc confident that if this plan is
realized, startling discoveries are in
store. California, with its monster tel
escopes, aided by its clear sky aud oth
erwise favorable situations for astron
omical reseach, will undoubtedly take
the lead in discoveries, of which those
of the moons of Mars, made with what
is now the largest refractor in the world,
have given us a foretaste.
The TiirkMi Hednu
It i. just about five hundred years
since the terrible Turkish invasion
poured into Europe in the verv districts
when: the war is now carrietf on. In
eleven ears it will be precisely five
htindre'i years since Amursth I, over
threw, on" the border of Servia. the
whole power of the then mighty
Kingdom of Servia, in one of the "world
battles" that of Kosna a bloody
.stni",gle which so impressed itself on
the ""imaginations of men, and w.
followed with such immene conse
quence to that portion of Europe, that
the Servian and Bulgarian peasants still
refer to it a? an event which affects even
now their destinies. And they do not
exaggerate its consequences. After
Amurath followed Bajazet, surnamed
the " Lightning." and in his track was
desolation and hills of human heads.
The Turk was then no ".sick man," but
a barbarian of unsurpassed valor, with,
it mu-t be allowed, a certain talent for
command. He swept over all Eastern
Europe, and but for the long and hero
ic defence of Hungary, would no doubt
have conqured and held Southern Ger
many, as he afterward conquered and
held Thrace and the Danubian coun
tries. It was more than half a century
from the battle of Cossova before the
Turk wrested from the decayed Greek
Empire the city of the Golden Horn,
which he has held ever since. In the
long empire of lust and blood by the
Osmanli, whether in Europe or .Asia, it
will be difficult for the inost ardent
admirer of the race to nnd a single
blessing or benefit which it has conferred
on humanity. In Thrace, Epiras. Mac
edonia, the Bosnia provinces, Bulga
ria, Servia, and the Wallaeho-Mbl-davian
districts, the rule of the Otto
mans has been nothing hut depression
or plunder and violence. Liberty, of
course, has never flourished under them,
nor science, nor agriculture, nor com
merce, nor trade. Where they have
been there has been the slightest pro
gress in all material tilings. Genera
tion after generation of misery and sub
lnision to grinding tyranny has passed
awav. The Christians have been
pressed to the earth, while the Moham
medans have not advanced. One of the
fairest portions of Eastern Europe has
been rendered poor and half barbarous
by thi.s'Iong enduring tyranny. In fact,
even, in the neighboring districts now
under Christian sway, the scars and rel
ics of the former Turkish domination
may be seen, in ban en fields, poor
roads, miserable villages, a degraded
peasantry, and a want of all the best
appliance of eivili.ation.
Turkey itself, in Asia, seems outside
of all modern progress ; and unnatural
vices, such us consumed the Pagan Em
pire of Koine, have eaten away tho vig
or of the people. Nor does this cor
ruption and degradation seem an effect
of religion alone, though, that, no doubt,
has had much inllu'Miee in causing it;
it belongs alone to the race. For one Mo
hammedan people, the Arabs, encamped
for some one hundred miles in Europe
as the Turks have done but when
they were driven forth, they left .schools,
colleges and places of learning, palaces,
and an architecture which .still delights
the ey'e, and permanent traces on the
arts, science, and learning of Europe.
When the Turk departs from Eastern
Europe, as soon he must, there will be
no monument of his live hundred years
of residence, but smoking villages, piles
of human bones, a peasantry imbruted
by his Government, and a fair country
made, almost a desert.
The latest telegram from the seat of
war was that the Turks were burning
Phillippopolis and other Christian
towns in their retreat. The exodus is
characteristic and consistent. The
great ancestor of the Sultan's family
entered Europe over burning towns,
and marked his way with pyramids of
human heads. Thu degenerate descend
ant departs amid the smoke of peaceful
hamlets, and with his line of retreat
covered with the maimed and defaced
corpses of prisoners and of the unfor
nate peasantry. No sentimental sym
pathy will follow the Ottoman, as has
attended the Moor in his defeat. Even
England will soon forget him. The his
torical schollar will rejoice at the just
retribution: the legislator will look for
new advances in that miserable region;
and the curses and hate of populations
whom the Turk for centuries has plun
dered and oppressed will go with the
last battalion as it carries the Crescent
back from the hills of the Balkan pe
ninsula to the Sea of Marmora and the
Golden. Horn. New York Times.
From the Des Moines Leader.
At Aurora, Illinois, 33 miles from Chicturo,on
the line of the Chicago, Uurlinifton k. Quincy
Railroad, is located the cancer institute of Dr.
F. L. Fond. The buildin? is a larpe, imposing
brick structure, situated on the elevation
which bordors along the river Fox. It is health
ful and delightful and entirely removed from
malarious currents. Surrounding the.building is
a nice campus fllled with large forest trees
thus making an attractive homo for those
whose misfortunes require the attention which
can only be rendered at a hospitat. A reporter
of theLEADEK, who had frequently heard of
Dr. Pond, made a visit recently to Aurora, and
his impressions arc given in tho hope that suf
fering humanity may learn where to got relief.
No one visiting this Hospital can como away
with any other Impression than that Dr. Fond
is a humanitarian, a gentleman whoso ambi
tion is to conquer the most stubborn disease
which attacks the human frame. Such an am

port of the press and honest people.

Doctors, like poets, are born and not
made, and here it is we often find among the

prominent. Thoroughly fitted for the profes
sion, in early years he was fontf of delving into
abstruse the undiscovered and hidden secrets
and virtues which nature. provided for the
relief of mankind's maladies. Quackery and
routine practice were alike common to him.
He saw little difference between the rx.an who
knew but little and the man who, when he
had completed a medical course, thought he
knew it all and need know no more. Reason
in? thus he threw formality aside and at once
undertook to grapple with the most stubborn
of all diseases -Cancer. Very few people Iave
any conception of the horribly loathsome
nature of this disease, and many perish be
cause they have not taken counsel and treat
ment in time. That there are stagt-s at which
a cure is imjiosslble, there is no doubt, but the
stages at which cures are effected at Dr. Pond's
Hospital are almost incredible. The reporter

Claim, in (aoltl.
Yesterday we presented a bill of IS
to the Burlington Insurance Company
for advertising, and were astonished to
see Secretary Miller count out the gold
We werestill moresurprised to learn that
thiswas not an exceptional instance, but
that the company is paying all losses
and claims in gold without charging
any premium. There is a disposition
all over the country to hasten specie
payments and thus put business on a
stable basis, and in New York and oth
er eastern cities, there has been some
action taken in that direction, but the
Burlington Insurance Company i the
first institution in the west, wo believe,
to pay in gold.
But after all, we ought not to be sur
prised at this. It is a sound and pros
perous institution. Its policies have
for years been considered "as good as
gold.' In all the essentials of safe in
surance and prompt payment of losses,
it has no superior, and no company in
the United States can show a better re
cord for conservative, careful manage
ment. Jlurliiujton llawkeye.

HELM ISOLD'S lll.'CHt.
Helmbold's Buchu has long been known as
one of the most valuable medicines attainable
in certain clashes of di.sca.se.-, such as dyspep
sia, chronic rheumatism, dropsv, cutaneous af
fections, and especially affections of the uri
nary organs. As a diuretic it is superior to
almost any other medicine in use, and the creat
care with which it is prepared, the absolute
purity of the preparation, and the diligence
ued in the selection of the crude material,
have made it known far and wide as a reliable
and effective preparation, and one that can al
ways be used with tafetv and lieuefit- The
great success of Helmbold's Buchu has led to
the production of many spurious preparations,
which are made cheaply and placed upon the
market to be sold on the reputation acquired
by Helmbold's original preparation. Parties
who desire a really good medicine should be
careful and use Helmbold's onlv.
None genuine unless in steelgraved white
wrappers and my proprietarv stamp affixed.
