That the soil should be thoroughly pulverized so as to yield through every particle to the support of the plant, whether the element be already in the soil or fed in by the op- erator will not admit of a question and must be practiced by the ambitious farmer who aims high and expects to excel. It is a mistaken idea that our failures are owing to ill luck, bad sea- sons etc. We mu.-tset our mark high and then by thorough and intelligent preparation steer for it. There are several reasons that might be given toshow that sheep are the most profitable stock to be kept on our high-priced lands, if iudiciousl handled. Mr. B. G. Buell, in an a - dress delivered before the sheep- breedcrs of Michigan said: “They grow quickly and mature early; and with their fleece pay dividends oftener than any other stock, and when indi- vidual losses do occur, they are less in value than in the case of a horse or cow. Yet the profit or loss will de- pend in the main on the class of sheep kept and the attention they receive. The sheep must be of the "cry best ,uality, of good size, and of such a build as to insure a hardy constitu- tion, and be well covered in all part» with a fleece of reasonable density and good length of fiber, and as nearly even in quality as it is possible to se cure. With such sheep, and with the reaction that is bound to take D138!» in the wool market in a short time, the fiockmaster and every one who owns a few sheep will be illi-!Lll'i"l of 3) living proiit even in our high-priced lands.” The advantages arising from keep- ing sheep on wheat growing farms are thus summcd up by Mr. Bull] in the same address. l. They are less eubjcct to contagi- nu.-_- diseases, for the reason that the flock can be more easily kept insolat- ed. 2. They grow quickly and mature early, and with their fleece’ pay divi- deuds oftener than any other live stock. 3. When summer fallowing is practiced they act as gleaners in clear- ing fencc corners of briars and weeds, and in keeping down annual grasses that spring up on plow cd lands. 4. During winter they ah: still doing their work of converting the surpiue straw into 1'ertilizers.—-Jour- nail q,"Agricu.lture.

They must sow seed in its season or not at all, but the season is short and great stress necessarily comes through the exactions of time. So they must gather the harvest when the sun shines and the grain is ripe, for if de- layed the labor of the year is lost. But these are the crucial exaotions. In other seasons of the year farmers may have leisure even after executing well all their tasks and performance will be better when rest has proper observance, because flagging energies will be restored and fitness will appear. They need not he boom for there is nothing incompatible between thor- ough culture in manners, in social ob- servances, in the mind, in all that con- stitutes high manhood, and the labor which a beneficent Providence has made a condition to existencc.—1[us bandman.

It is also an indisputable fact that one acre of clover will make two pounds 0:" pork to one of beef when grazed without other feed. The great value of the grass in producing pork is not understood as Well by farmers as it should baa. Grass is as much nature’s food for hogs as for cattle, urid the for‘- mer will utilize it into greater profits than the latter can possibly do. We urge it upon cvur swine breeder to give his hogs abun ancc of grass. It will promote an healthy constitution and develop bone and muscle with proper ilesh. A hog that has been grown principally on grass has a su re foundation for the future BlJ’l‘Tl£l: is -.1 very dillicult article to keep, unless :i very low, uniform tem- perature can be secured. Where butter is needed for long keeping, the best way is to make in small and somewhat ob- long rolls; wrap closely in well brine- wushed muslin cloths and immerse them in brine made from boiled water. These should be kept beneath the sur- face so that the air will not get to them. EA small quziiztity can thus be had at any line. .1 . S.

We hope the election following so closely our issue of N'ovcniber1.~it,did not so eligross the aittcntioii of our rea.del's that little or no attention ivas giveli to our editorial reference to 2:. “New Orgaiiizzitioii," The Citizen:-. League of the State of .\lichigaii” and to the laws of the State relating to the sale of liquor, etc., as found in chapter 71 of Il0wcll’s Conipilzition. There was also aaiotlier editorial in the same issue, referring to the general neglect of otlicers to enforce these laws. On this account and their continued violation by men engaged in selling liquor, there was shown zi necessity for law-abiding citizeiis to undertake the enforcement of law to the end that the boyszmd young men who frequent saloons shall by asort of compulsory protection be saved from the evil iii- lluences and results which belong to, and grow out of the business of sell- ing alcoholic drink. From this no one need zipprehcnd that the Citizells’ League is an orguiiizaitioii that pro- poses to make zi raid per se on the business of selling liqlior. By no uicauis. The Citizens’ League simply proposes that where liquor is sold the business shall be conducted within the limits of the laws of the state and not in 4.ll.~'.l‘e,".;‘2ll'd and open violutioii of such laws. Now that 1!. month has passed sillce the election and it has been deli’- iiitely determined who is the President elect, and no amount of complaining or-fault-linding on the part of de- fealtetl candidates or partisans can avail to change the result, we again call attention to the *‘Citizens’ League. We see in this new organization an opportunity to put in practical shape much of the teniperauce sentiment that pervades almost every iieighborliood in the state. All readers of the Vis- ITUR know that it has all along given place to -.u'ticles upon the temperance question, but it has at no time edito- rially given expression to any views touching political action on this sub- ject. Nor do we now. But wedo in- sist tliait while it is no more the duty of a radical temperance man to demand that the laws of the state be enforced than it is the dut-y of any other citizen, yet as temperance men are particularly earnest in their demands for more re- strictive lcgislation, we expect them to give the claims of this new oi'gaiii7.a.- tion careful consideration. We venture to assume that nine- tenths of those who read the law were surprised to find so much law malla- ble for the suppression of the tralllc, and every citizen after reading the law A - p?'::'l_v '31;-:c':.‘.v?r'. ought to feel surprised that it is so 2 THE ORANGE VISITQB.

A lawyer ought not to sell his ervices for the promotion of injustice and knavery. Swindlers of all types are aided by lawyers in their depreda- . lions upon society. The mock broker 5 who operates in \Vall street, and strips -green country speculators of their hard earned gains by the most nefari- ous rcguery, always has an able law- yer as his accomplice. The gentleman by whose agency a nest of these ras- cals was lately broken up says: ‘The great difliculty in stopping swiudles uf this class is that the rascals make enough money to be able to employ he beat of legal advice, and are. more- over, careful to do nothing which will render them liable to arrest.’ This is . ='he testimony ofa lawyer.

As I read a call for more jittings, I thought that as I had never read a jotting from North Branch Grange in the V1Sl'l‘0R, perhaps a few words ‘ from a member of this Grange would beinteresiing to my fellow Patrons. We have managed to build a hall. Although it is not quite finished we have it so that we can hold our meet- ings in it, and look forward with pleas- ure to the time when we shall have it finished and thoroughly equipped for Gr inge purposes. We have had a beautiful fall in this part of Michigan. The farmers in this vicinity have their corn all taken care of, and are busy fall plowing, some have finished. Wheat is looking uncommonly well, the insect having done no damage as I have heard of this season. JOHN D Wii.Lso.v. Lapeer county. I have thought of making the same suggestion that Sister Mayo has but concluded if each Grange should r.»- spond, 'l 1lE \-'isI'roii would have to be enlarged; however, I should like to so the experiment tried. The campaign is ended at last, the sun shines, and the world still moves, and so does our Grange. We are having very inter- esting meetings since the cyclons of politics is past. Last week we had a sort of a fair at our Grange, fruit, veg stables, and wheat bread premiums- were given. To-night we will exhibit butter, corn bread, pumpkin pie and honey; after the premiums have been awarded the whole Grange are invit- ed to partake, and a right merry time we shall have. We enjoyed the first fall‘ sowell, wo thought a series of fairs would double the pleasure and help revive the Grange. AUNT Kiirs. 'Gratta,n, Nov., 20, I884. You said you were discouraged about the jottings. Dont give up yet, per- haps more will write from now on. It has been a very busy season. I want toask you if you don't think it would be better to have the tax law ' changed so as to have all of the tax- payers go to the treasurer's ofiice than to have him going half ardozcn times after each little bit. It seems to me that each man knows when he has got money to pay his taxes, and that he ought to go to the trcasurei‘ and . pay in. N ow all of the larger ta.x~pa_x- ers go and pay their taxes and the ‘treasurer has to run after the little drills. Would like to hear what oth- ers have to say about it. We failed to get our farmer governor nominated this time but remember two years is 0'11! I short time, let us work together and nominate-him next time. Long 1 country, thatit will not belong bif. rs E the rights and interests of the people will be entirely ignored. and the l offl.:es will be held by the wealthy, l and they only. The means that are used to control conventions and carry elections, are contrary to the principles upon which the government was founded. The people must rise up in their might and demolish these infimous and dan- gerous practices which prevail to an alarming extent. I suppose some of the radicals of the republican party do not f H701‘ the course of the VISITOR,‘ but I believe a large maj irity of the readers of the Visrron believe the Editor was right and will sfiand by him in his efforts to securejnstice among the people. FARMER. The beautiful November days have been well improved by the farmers in Branch county, 2;. larger per cent of gths corn being husked and fodder stacked than usual at this time of year. Stock looks well to go into win- ter, and wheat fairly well, though not quite as largeas usual. The season cf thanksgiving draws near. Are we enumerating to ourselves the many things we have to be thankful for‘? Are we counting the mercies and blessings showered upon us by the Creator and rendering thanks in our hearts daily, exemplifying our thank- fulness by doing kind acts and carry- ing a cheerful countenance to bless those we daily associate with? or do wegr-owl and whine that prices are low and election gone wrong and the country going to destruction as fast as the wheels of time can carry it?

If people generally throughout the country were honest in deal, would do unto others as they would like to have others do unto them, would be reason- able,c0nsistent, temperate in all things would obey the laws of health, would be satisfied with a reasonable amount of property and wealth, would use such property and wealth as wisdom and good sense would advise and dictate, there would be ten times the amount of real happiness and pleasure among the people that there is at present. The majority of people are pursuing acourse in life one way or another which defeats to a great extent their own interests the happiness and com- fort they and others might enjoy. some make slaves of themselves, until they drop into their graves, to become rich. Others cheat and rob people of their honest earnings in va- rious .ways to become millionaires; some, are slaves to fashion. Their first prayer in the morning and their last prayer at night is something fash- ionable to wear: and millions of self- made human slaves are poisoning their systems violating the laws of na- ture bringing upon themselves disease, suffering, misery and premature death, by the use of the greatest curse on earth, intoxicating liquors. .

A. Madison, Mich. In the VISll'l‘u‘l’. of Nov. 1., we were giatified to see expresscl in the edi torial columns, such clearly defined, sensibla views of the perplexities of the liquor question, and are confident all temperance people must heartily second such sentiments, however farther their more radical opinions may incline them. The fact that the Michigan liquor laws are explicit and severe in a great- er degrte than those of Chicago, where the Citiz:n’s League originated and has worked so effectively, is de- cidedly in favor of success whatever in our States few business men put their shoulders to the wheel, and roll from their community the mockery of law. It is only success that suc coeds, and “all speed to that time”, say, thousand of Michigan's noblest and best men and women. Let me suggest, that each reader of the V13 ITOB can do remarkable temperance work by calling attention to the liquor laws as printed in the first Nov. number. Not alone on temperance principles, but as a law-abiding, and liw loving citizen it becomesa duty to see that a knowledge of this almost universally disregarded chapter of the statutes be better known than it is now by the majority of the people of the State. In truth, one who from his present knowledge of the law ap- preciates its stringency on this sub- ject, will be found to be an exception and not the rule.‘ ' » Exi;Ci;ri0.\'. North Michigan. Another season of corn planting and corn raising has come and past and the business of husking and saving is now in order. It is no great art to ‘husk corn and pitch it into the crib, but it is a good farmer who can save and se- cure his corn in good condition for the winter and for the following season. Securing seed for the next planting season is of prime importance and should not be unheeded and neglected at this’ time of the year. The last three years have taught the farmers of Mich- igan the absolute necessity of having perfect seed for planting, and the great loss incurred by not having good seed. It is of in -:'-:- importance to know how ‘ all these would seem to sustain the to secure good seed, than it is to plant : view of the traveling Chinaman as to it.

I am a little tired of the real work- ings of the Grange. ought to discuss a question in mean- ing something like “Resolved, that the prime object of the Grange is home society.” I It would be in order at the present time, and every male incmbe'i"fin'ed one dollar who don’: speak on the subject. Then tic word ought to be for entering the Order. “Machine” to be repeated ten times then the word "anti-monopoly” re- peated about nineteen times; then the male members repeat "barrel cam- paign" three times; then each ought to infuse a little dynamite in their vest pockets and explode it at the proper time to illustrate the explodiiy of the “Machine” etc. Patrons will talk, talk, talk, about the different curses of this nation. and when election day comes they are so forgetful of these curses, as to vote their political ticket as straight as it 2 was made.

There is astory of a Chinese travai- er who. when asked what had struck him asmost remarkable in the United States, replied, “the lack of honor.” It would be well if the natural resent- ment of Americans at such an impu- tion could be fortified by facts and statistics. The repudiation of public debts by communities large and small; the re- cent unprecedsnted number of breach- ci of trust on the part of managers of banks and other corporations; the countless defaleations by trusted em- ployes of private business firms; the growth and recklesness of speculations the number of suits on the part of the general government to recover funds from delinquent public servants; the sordid character of much of our poli tics; the rings of financial adventur- ers discovered to be in secret collusion with legislative or executive omcers— Every Grang-: took the telegram to the house, and itold his wife what the Grange had j done, and said he would go down to the i cfiice and telegraph back that he declin- :7 ed the honor tendered him.

But this seems to he deficient as (see. 7 ) “Prosecutions for 21 violation of any ;of the provisions of this act, may be ‘ comnienccd by information of the Cir- cuit (‘ourt of any county by the Pros- ecuting Attorney [of the county in wliich the offence shall be coinmitted, which inforuiatioii shall be filed with the proceedings iii any previous exam- ination before any justice of the peace, and the proceedings after the filing oi’ the ini‘oi‘mz1tion, or information and proceedings as aforesaid shall be the same as in other criminal cases." The deiicieiii.-y seems to be in the fact, that the Prosecuting -\t‘orne_v must fuiuiisli ini’orma.tion in the Circuit Court. New, experience has taught us that a Republican or l)t‘I1it,- craiic Attorney would not commence such acase; if they did the old prohibi- tory law would have been enforced, and not it dead letter on the statute book. and if they had there would 1lfl\'i‘ been a jury packed for acquital thr- same as trials under said law.

FIRST OF HE SERIES OF l’II.()a‘EL'l,'- 'I‘II').‘v'S BEGUN BY Till-T DAIRY CO)I)IlSSIO_\'l-ZIIS. Summons have been served upon Frederick Lindsley of -5:20 Grand Street, and Benjamin Hyman of 34 Ridge Street, New York, to appear and answer to the charge of selling substances re.-embling butter, the sale of which the act of April :34 last ex- pressly prohibits, inakingit a misde- meanor. The misdemeanor is punish- able by a fine of not less than $100 or more than $500. or not less than six months nor more than one year's im- prisonment, or by both. for the firal. offense, and by imprisonment for one year for each subsequent ofl‘ense. The arrests of Hyman & Lindsey are the first that have been made in New York under this act, though others, both in New York and in Brooklyn, are imminent. Assistant State Dairy Commie.-gioners Van Val- kenburg has the matter in charge. He was appointed to ofiice on May 2:2, and took the oath of oillce on July 11. Fault has been found with him by the newspapers of the trade, and by dealers in butter for his supposed ‘ delay. He has been working up cases and will soon have a large batch be- fore the courts. “It is the intention of the State ~ Dairy Commissioner, Mr. Brown, ~ under whom I act” he said yesterday, “to push things until the trade in butterine, ioleomargarine, and other * bogus butters is wiped out. We have agents actively engaged in wofkin up cases in New York and Brooklyn, - and up the Hudson River. It is dull- 'cult to get positive proofs of dealings in the forbidden commodities, and the only way it can be done is to pur- chase a pound of butter here and there at the retail stores, and then submit it to chemical examinations. E. B. Walter, cf the school ofmines, is the chemist for the butter tests. Prof. Martin, of the school of mines, looks after the milk. the same law fixing penalties for the adulteration ofmilk that covers the question of bogus butter. I have charge solely ;of the prosecutions for the sale of E fraudulent butter, and am instructed ,» to spare no pains or expense to root 1 out the trade. Oleomargarlne and butterine are ,‘sold the retail dealers by the whole- , salers at from 13 to 1-} cents a pound. 3 The retailers dispose of it generally as ! butter at from ;’-3 to 20 cents a pound. [I should suppose that the retailer ‘must know what he was buying, , and ask for it openly. VVe have rea- 1 son to believe that many retailers do , not sell the stuff‘ over their counters, out dispose of it by their delivery ~ wagons to their regular customers.” From this time on, arrests will fol- ; low rapidly. and many cases will soon 3 be in the courts. The mock-butter men, it is said, ‘ hold that the law is unconstitutional. ‘—iV. Y. Sun. J Harpers Ferry lo be Sold. l:{ar..er’s Ferry, with all its histori- ' cal surroundings and valuable accesso- irics. is to be sold on October 213:; by , the United States government at pub- ] lic auction to the highest bidder, pur- lsuant to an order and decree of con- ! grass. The property comprises six ,' hundred and forty acies of land and a 3 valuable water power, which was pur- ; chased by the national goverment from I the State of Virginia ninety years ago. i In 1794, during the administration of _‘ George Washington, Harber’s Ferry , was chosen as the site of a national : armory by Washinton himself, who , At his recommen- ; dation congicss made the purchase and 5 an arsenal was built there, which 5 stood until destroyed during the late unpleasantness. It was there that John Brown. of soul marching mem- ory. struck his blow for the freedom of the slaves, capturing the arsenal on the night of October 16, 1852;, fighting , all day of the 17th, seeing his sons and i dear friends shot down about him, and ,5 finally; on that evening returning to _‘ the little engine house as a last.-:trong- 3 hold, where the forces gathered against ; him the next morning, captured him 9 and his two remaining men, killing i one outright’ wounding the other, and garter piercing the leader of the band : with their bayonets; reserved him for the hangman, who did his 1 work the following December :3. 1 at Charleston. turning the re- ;mains over to the sorrowing widow 5 the same day at Harper’s Ferry. Less ' than two years later the echo of John { Brown’:-1 blow was heard at that very . spot where the arsenal and its valu- § able arm- and machinery for the manufacture of more arms. were cap- ; tuied by the Confederates without a low. The place was recaptured by l the Union troops afterward, but not until the more valuable machinery had been carried off‘ to Richmond for use by the Confederate government in the manufactue of arms. It was recaptured by “Stonewall” Jackson in '18o2,just before the battle of Antie- . tam; later by the Union forces again. ’ The fortunes of war left it a wreck;the buildings were burned and demolished, and nothing is now left to recommend I the visitor to the many tragic scenes , enacted there. except the foundations of the old buildings and the little en- gine house where John Brown made his last stand, which by some means escaped the general destruction about it, and now stands near the railroad station, labelled in large letters “John Brown's Fort.” An attempt was re- cently made by a few Government of- 5 ficials to reserve a part of the property that was most interesting in historic way and Congress ordered otherwise and the tail goes with the hide. THE worst man will frequently make the smoothest promises, and the best test to apply to all men is the *scri’ntural one: “By their fruits ye shall know them.” In politics, as 1 in everything else, it is better totrust ‘those who have shown themselves worthy of confidence, and the man who, asacitizen or as a public ser- vant. has filled his station in life worthily is the most deserving of the support of honest men for further trusts. _ Till-J leading tliresliing machine man in this C_01l11t1‘ is G.

Labouchere, the editor of 17-ul/i an old dabblerin stocks rounds up the Wall street herd in this fashion: “ll=,iili‘oads in America are made to enable director.-' and others to plunder shareliolilcis. The shares are merely counters, in vented for purposes of gambling. Each railroad is in the bands of some railroad gambling king. By arrangements between themselves, as to trufiic, etc. these kings can raise or depreciate the shares of any particu- lar i'a.ilroud. This is how the enormous fortunes have been made, which throw into shade those of European million- aires. An American railroad king considers that he has a perfect right to make money out of his best friend, and if he can do so by betraying_ him, this increases his pleasure. If any one were to protest,tlie king would re- ply that the game of speculation has its rules, and that like brag or poker. its essence is to deceive l'riend and foe."

One of the leading secretaries at the White House tells me that the busi- ness of the Executive has increased largely since the days of Lincoln and Grant. “ Up until the time of Hayes," says lie, “hardly a scrap of paper was kept here to show what the President did or why he did it. Now we keep a record of everything and we make a point of 8llSWel“i1;g every letter. Notes are kept of the contents of all import- ant letters received. and by our records here, in case of an appointment we can tell just v~ hy and upon w ose recoinmendalion the appointment was made. In case the appointee turns out badly the President is re- lieved of the blame and it is thrown upon those who recommend him. We receive a great many letters that should go to the various departments. Some poor woman in a distant part of the country wants a pension. she does not know anything about the pension bureau, and the only person in the Government with whom she is ac- quainted is the President. She writes to him. 0! course her letter is referred by us to the pension office, and it is the same with other letters of the same class. As the executive otllce is carried on now it is absolutely neces- sary to have a good force of clerks and the day has passed when Presidents can ask every other person the meet to come and have a chat with t cm at the \Vhite House.—Oleve./and Leader.

And when they were cooked she the skillet could use For any good purpose she happened to choose, To brew. or to bake, to boil or to stew, Wash the feet of the children, and wash their clothes too; ‘ She needed no cupboard and dishes to fill it, For all could be done with that wonderful skillet Butin these modern times a few women I) blast, As to be quite contented unless they be the best Of all the inventions thus labor to lighten, To make this work pleasant, the dark blues ' to frighten, The need we most feel as we co no to gray In some one to help with our housewifelv cares With strong arms, sturdy back, and heart w ill ing and true, Whois glad of the work, and the pay for it, 100. Yet in these days so few are possessed of this treasure, There is all the more need, we should have the . full measure. . Of all the assistance that science can give To aid as in living, is trying to live. ’ Now every one knows who has studied man- kind, That when we would have them both cheer- full and kind, There is nothing so patent with saint or with sinner To favor this end, as a rightly cooked dinner, Yet this wished for end can never be gained Unless proper tools we first have obtained, No doubt you have heard some women called sloven When the fault all the time was a cracked smoky oven.

Life, its Work and its lost. since the develgament of this earth sulllolently for the maintenance‘ ofmau. labor has been a necessity. Mather nature has kindly furnished. as with a productive soil, the life-giv- mg sun and rain, and seed for the bar- vgt; but without the aid of human hands, life could not be sustained. Bow seldom do we contemplate the wonderful part in this great drama of life perfcrned by the hand. It mat tr-'-I not how great the invention, or how compli(a ed the science involved by the brain, human hands must be the pnwer by which one and all of these are I-rn-xu_~'nt into practical use Indeed, the usuu is cue ever nbed'c it 'l"I'V8Dl'. of the brain. As in though‘ we wander over the beautiful earth. and view the magnificent works cfart fashioned by min’s band, who can say thatlabor is not exalted‘? There- has always been a certain class who looked upon the tilling of the soil, as he lowest and most degrading occu- pation. Such minds are too shallow to perceive what their destiny would he, should all follow their example. They would all cry “give, give,” when there would be nothing to glve. Brral must be earned by the sweat of the brow, and any service, however vneilal, if it be a necessity, should be considered honorab'c. The Grangc movement is fast bringing about a revolution of thought in this respect and farmers and their families are re ally beginning to believe they are somebody, and ofsome zonsequence to the rest of the world.

Having just read in the .1 >ttiug’s Column _cf your (xcellent paper an invitation to all to write, I would like to ask’ 3 rme qu: s.lons. Why do we never hear anything from Cascade? Is there a Grange in the town, and if there is, why do residents of the town never mention it? Who are the omcers of this presuma‘. 'e Grange? New resident in lhscarle. Mr. Eiitor do you think that the Republican pclitician’s and ringstere have come to the conclusion that the Prohibitioniats mean business as well as the whiekeyites. We have no par- ticular objections to Cleveland as a democrat, but we mightily hate to see that element in power who tried to destroy this government and trample upon its starry flag. J. V. A. Ashton, Mich. The luxurious ripe should not be taken, or at least lighted a 1d indulged in, or around the barn. The lantern should not be lighted or filled in the barn or stables during the night. If by accident the light get extinguish- ed, take the lantern out to some safe place where there is no danger of ig- niting the straw or hay, with the match, before lighting. Do not set down a lantern; always hang it up sufliciently high to be out of the way of heads and fork handles. Hang the lantern on good deep books, or on nails driven with the heads slanted upwards. Now is just the time to look after this matter, for it may save valu- able stock provender and good build- ings. T. N. TRAVIS. Have been a reader of the GRANGE VISITOR for several years and reading postal jottings Nov. 15, I soon came to Grange thoughts and then before me appeared the oft repeated sentence, "What suggestions have you for the good of the Order?” The thought oc- curred to me that if every tiller of the soil, his wife, sons and daughters would join the Grange, and when two years should roll around, all join hands, nominate and elect true. sensi- ble and temperate men to all the of- fices, (let the old parties with their whims and corruption go to the dogs) enact just and righteous laws and see that they are duly and faithfully ex- ecuted methlnks it would be for the good of the Order.

A good programme was prepared by Wortyli Lecturer Sister Lutton, and well carried out, and the 5th. degree conferred in the evening. A delegate was elected to represent us at the State Grange. In every reader of the VISITOR who is interested in having the paper widely circulated, and the cause it advocates succeed, would get just one subscriber, the circulation could be all- mcs: doubled in a short time. Therevis not a paper published in the Suite of Michigan that contains as much good, common sense, prac- tical reading matter for the money, as the VISITOR. The kind of information is entirely different from what other papers con- tain. It is more of a practical than theoretical character. I: is 3 little E*l1.';‘l'l.~‘lnglhl1f;1 paper that advor mes the interests of the ’a'- mer so ably and earnestly 2-hnulxi not be better supported by that cl; It contains a class of infmmation that every farmer in the S :1 is of Michigan ought to have. If farmers gensrllly would work as well for their interests in many ways as d ) monopo lies, they woul-i succeed much better than they do. Patrons, let every one who reads the V-'lsx'mu n s >lve that we will each ob- tain one or more subscribers, and thus extend the influence of this val- uable paper liwry true patriot must rwjoicezil the close of one of the most exciting bitter partisan. zuul scandalous polit- ical canipaigns ever known in this country, and according to Dr. Burcliurd rum, llomanism and rebellion have tri- umphed. According to other bigoted pirtisans. the government has been res- cued and saved from the control of the worst, most unscrupulous and corrupt I) very candid, patriotic man who loves his country better than any party will be willing to give the incoming admin- istration a fair trial and judge it by its acts instead of trying to prejudice the people against it in advance, pos- sibly it may be a great improvement upon the legislation of the past ten years by inaugurating great reforms in the interest of the people and rescu- ing the control ofthe government from the hand of monied aristocratic mo- nopolists who are running the govern- ment in their own interest regardless of the rights of the people, at all events let us accept the result in humble sul- mission to the l)l\'lllt‘ will, hopzng for the best. llr;romu~:u. Ingham County Pomona Grange met with Alaledon Grange, at the house of Bro. O. E. Stillman of Al- was called to order by Worthy Master Geo. W. Phelps at 10 o'clock A.

(3118 the election of a delegate to the State Uzuage, which resulted in the election of Geo. VV. Phelps of Cedar Grange. Bro. Phelps is worthy and well qualified, and will well rep- resent our interests in the Grange Legislature. Afternoon session was an open one. Bro. W. E West of Capitol Grange. read a good paper which brought ont a lively discussion by Bro. Cook, King, and Stillman, and Sistezs. Stillman and Adgell. Next followed a recitation by Miss Nettie North, which was well deliv- ered. An essay by Mrs, Phelps, sub- ject, Temperance, and an essay by Mrs. A. U. Lawrence, entitled “Whis- key snd Tobacco,” were to the point, and brought out discussions by the ladies. Essay by Bro. Wm. Cook; subject, The Grange. In this the writer gave a brief history of the Order with its practical workings, and some of its results This closed a very interest ing meeting and every one voted the time well spent. The next meeting will be held with Delhi Gran ge on the first Wednesday of January. Officers for the coming year will be elected at that meeting. E. H. ANGEL. Sec’y Ono Eflcci oi the Exposition. ltichard Nixon writes from New Orleans to THE (JENTURY for Decem- ber about tlic New Southern Exhibi- tion. He concludes as follows: “To say that the exposition will have a softening effect upon the lingering ani- xnositics of the war IS to imply that such animosities still exist—an impli- cation that the Southerner is loath to admit. There is nothing so potent as prosperity to wipe out. resentment. The more prosperous the S..u b has grown, the less disposition has she felt to dwell upon what she was wont to consider her injuries, and to-day, standing on the eve of her great festi- val to which she has invited the na- tions of the earth, she would resent the imputation that she harbors mal- ice against any Doubtless, however, the Exposition wll bring about a still better knowledge and higher respect among the various sections of our com- country." lake $20.00 for Chrlslmas.

I could retain this day just as it is and summon it at will whats treat I would give my friends in the midst of winter's cold and storm. To be able to turn on an Indian Summer dry as you would the gas, would be decidedly gratifying, but I fear there would be no burning off‘. As I turn to retrace my steps, I re- member how the path has th rice been carpeted since spring brought it forth bare and brown from beneath its winter covering. First, with short green grass, then with the fallen pet- ale of the apple bloom, and now with partly-colored autumn leaves. A short time and it will again Le white; but not with wreck.-l of sweet scented blossoms. When these lines reach you it will be December, and doubtless winter will have arrived. Bit let it come early or late be brief, or prolonged the memory of this day will be a bright spot in the midst of its dreariness. I think you all join me in the wish that Miss Verna Cooney who furnish- ed us a paper in the last VISITOR will add to our indablelness by contribut- ing to the department “again and again." I have learned to expect something good when Grace comes, and was not disanr-ointed in her article “Live to be missed.” AUNT PBUE. Bangs Dsfended. Aunt Prue.-—-I suppose that after the tirade of E. W., my bangs should utterly collapse, but they don't. They curl just nicely and are j ust as becom- ing as ever. I always try notto “make myself conspicuous by oDP03lt10n “H119 ‘Y’ rant fashion,” but to make myself look as nicely as possible, for one might as well be out of the world as out of style you know. But I suppose that you might as well be out of the world as to be in Paw Paw. That is so far from any place, and perhaps bangs are just coming into style there. I think that if we look at some of the prominent women to-day, we will and fully as many with bangs as without. Eor example, notice Mrs. Garfield, and Mrs. E. Aline Osgood. I think bangs are becomingtoboth. DECEMBER 1. 1834. L and no one can doubt that they air.- good and pure women. I hope E. W. doesn’t think that I wanted to persuade her to wear bangs! 3 Not by any means, I should feel like a guilty creature if any thing that I have said should induce her to “mu- i ti/,rc!c her Lrclids ” B," the way, E. W. I think that calling names is little boy play. D:u’t do it E. W., it looks bad for one’s manner-‘. lily bangs are not a snarl forI always keep them neatly ' combed. Men have worn bangs for years and years and years and it was all perfect- ly proper but now when the girls want towear bangs they all makes great hue and cry. I think it is real mean of them. And only women and girls, - who would not make use 0! their rights if they had them, will: array themselves on the side of the meddlosome creatu res. In a certain high school there were ‘ last winter three lady teachers and liftggirls in theghigh room and all of the teachers wore hinge, and forty- elght of the girls, of the remfiining two one was ii. Free Methodist anal’ did not dare to wear bangs and the, other «iiilnt have any hair to bang.j And this was not a backwoods town either. Florence Nightingale wore her hair in what was then the prevailing style . and if she were a girl now why should she not he fuhionable and wear bangs’.

Church, Manager: Dnsn Sm, —~The Alabastine put on the walls oi the Chemical Laboratory more than four years ago is in as good condition and bright in appearance as when first applied, save where water from a leaky roof has injured it. The Alabastine seems to grow harder with age, making a firm and coherent covering, and has no tendency to soil the clothing by contact, as whitewash and calcimine will. 1 am satisfied with Alabastine. Yours faithfully, R. C. Kimzm, Professor of Chemistry. IMITATIONB AND xnrninonxnxrs.

This invention supplies a long-felt want for a cheap portable bed, that can be put away in a small space when not in use, and yet make a roomy, comfortable bed when wanted. 01 the many cots that are in the market there is not one, cheap or expensive, on which a com- fortable night’s rest can be bad. They are all narrow, short, without spring, and in fact no bed at all. While THE Bnnurm folds into as small space, and is as light as anything can be made for durability. When set up it furnishes a bed long enough for the largest man, and is as comfortable to lie upon as the most expensive bed. It is so constructed that the patent sides, regulated by the patent adjustable tension cords, form the most perfect spring bed. The canvas covering is not tacked to the frame, as on all cots, but is made’ adjustable, so that it. can be taken oil’ and put on again by any one in a. few minutes, or easily tightened, should it become loose, at any time, from stretching. It is a perfect spring bed, soft and easy, without springs or mattress. For warm weather it is a complete bed, without the addition of anything: for cold weather it is only necessary to add suflicient clothing. The “BEDETTE” is a. Household Necessity, And no family, after once using, would be without it. It is simple in its construction, and not liable to get out of repair. It makes a pretty lounge, a perfect bed, and the price is withinthereachofall. . ‘do I) feetl 83.50. 30 inches wide b 6} feet lo _ 83.00. 27 inches wide 36 inch“ W‘ Y 6* bv?4n§g'faet Inna (cmvnr nor ndizstnble) I for Base bv c nrnsmsre Lees»-ecu avuvwbos-co PAINT AT racromr PRICES. \Vc pay the freight and sell you at the lowest wholesale factory prices, the same as it you came to‘, the We were the first concern that sold to Patrons, and we don’t want store keeper's trade now.
