The state once attached to it. officials, balked in this direction. consulted the cordage trust and were informed that they could have the machines if the state would give a bond of $200,000 to indemnify the trust against loss by reason of the manufacture of twine in the penitentiary. So the state has been compelled to use aninferior, old style machine, making the output so small that it cannot; affect the market. Mr. Horton says he cannot even learn the price charged for the twine by the trust. He declares it con- trols the entire output of sisal and inanilla, but has so guarded everything that he does not be- lieve that sufficient evidence can be got to justify an indictment. Mr. Horton says that certain facts in regard to the alleged dressed—beef combine and the so-called biscuit trust have been laid before him and that he pro- poses to investigate them. The charges against the "big three" packers, Armour, Swift and Mor- ris, are that they control the dressed beef business of the country, fix the price for cattle on the hoof and compel whole- sale butchers to buy of them or go out of the business, by estab- lishing competing houses in their territory.

What a comment on the election fran- chise. But why dwell upon it‘? We know it is. I believe there is a remedy——a peaceful one—for all this if our people were only wise and patriotic enough to adopt it. In the first place let every farmer get rid of the in- cubus of blind party thralldom: let him shake himself and be free; let him then upon the altar of his country swear, with patri- otic fervor that he will try to act the part of an intelligent free- man; let him resolve to attend all party caucuses, and when there bravely fight for the nomi- nation of good and true men. These primary conventions, these meetings of undelegated yeoman- ry are most important of all; most of the evils We complain of have their birth in these primary caucuses; they are fountains wherein flow the streems that go than he would if the prices had not been depressed by the sales of unlimited quantities of grain that had no existence except in the imagination of the gambler, and not even there, for not even the fertile imagination of the “short seller” could bear such a strain as to suppose the country contained the amount of grain he offers. The only object the “bear" has is to keep the prices down by large sales that create the impression that the market it glutted, and the supply in ex- cess of the demand. so that the producer parts with his grain un- der the impression that there is no hope in an advance, which is just what the gambler expected he would do. When the bulk of the harvest has passed beyond the control of the producer, then comes the chance of the grain gambler; he can force the price up just as he pleases. and there is not enough grain in the hands of the farmer to make any appreciable effect on the market. The price is forced up and the consumer pays the bills that go to swell the plethoric pocket of the gamb- ler; thus the consumer pays a large price and the producer gets a. small one; the difference goes to the shark who produces noth- ing and sells more than is pro. Grange Patrons of Husbandry. Delta. Ohio, March 21. 153:2, ‘o the Members of the Order of Patrons of Husbandry: The Nationai, State. Pomona and Sub- ordinate Granges of our country have repeatedly indorsed the policy of electing United States Senators by a direct vote of the people. The Amendment pro- viding for it. will be submitted to the various State legislatures in the near future, and be ratified by those bodies, if the people do their duty. But why wait for this change in the Constitution! We need this reform now! The people should have more live men in the Senate. who are in close touch with them. There are several members of that body, who should be retired to enjoy the wealth which was the means of their elevation to an important position, for which they had no especial fitness. These men never would have been chosen by popular vote. We should do the next best thing to a direct vote under an amended Constitution, which is to insist upon the nomination of candidates for United State Senator. in States which will elect this year, by the various political parties with which our members are con- nected. states for six years; and the elec- tors in each state shall have the qualitications requisite for elec- tors of the most numerous branch of the state legislature. and each senator shall have one vote. It’ vacancies happen. by resignation or otherwise. the executive thereof may make temporary ap- pointments until the next general election in such state for mem- bers of the house of representa- tives in congress, when such vacancies shall be tilled by a direct vote of the people, as aforesaid." After the amendment has been proposed by congress by a two thirds vote. it must be ratified by the legislatures of three fourths of the states. This will necessari- ly take some time, but as there is already a strong public senti- ment in favor of the amendment. it may be an accomplished fact within a year. We have been shown the Os- good Farm Scale, advertised by J. C. Gould in another column. and have seen it tested. So far as we could determine, it is equal to any of the farm scales. and is offered so reasonable that every farmer who sells stock can oiford to have one and sell by his own weights, instead of by such as are furnished him by dealers. i Is‘. Breaking Colts. Many who claim to be familial‘ with the business of bi-eakiiig colts neither understand the na- ture of the colt nor the art of subduing and training them. A colt is a highly sensitive animal possessing more intelligencethan he is given credit for. quick to learn.havinga. memory of cer- tain things which goes beyond that in the human family. with an intuitive knowledge which can neither be explained nor under- stood. A coarse. rough man who knows next to nothing of huiiian nature and less than that of the horse is no more fit to have the handling of colts than one whose education is acquired in the street and bar-room is fit to take charge of a district school. A neighbor has a colt that is Old enough for light business and he wants him broken. He in- vites his neighbors to help him harness and drive his colt. it is brought out. but having had no previous handling is all excited. trenibliiig in every iierve. Notli— ing is done togive the poor thing the least iiitiiiiatioii of what is wanted of him. Three or four stout nien hold him by the head while others are trying to put on the liai'ii<-ss: he is spokcii to roughly. his cars ciiffed for sli:ii:- ing his head; the struggle goes on until the colt attziclied to the vehicle and now the sitpri-iiie nionicnt has arrived. and in spite of the efforts of all tliese men the colt rears and starts off. liav ingthings about his own way. leaving the trainers first and then the wagon far in the rear and all cxclaini. "Tliat is a terri- ble colt to break." This is not fiction but fact. A colt that would not resist such treatment would, not be worth breaking. Before toucliing your colt have your plans fornicd and a kiiowl- edge of the general cliaracteris- tics of the colt to be handled. He is fearful of being hurt. and must be nianagcd accordingly. As a geiieral thing it may be said that he will do what is wanted of him as soon as he is made to know what. that is. Aiiother es- sential thing is that whatever im- pressions are made on the brain of acolt are almost unerasable as t11()[]‘(]lL nu-itton tttl.-10;: of stone and hence the importance of making the right iiiipii-ssioiis. for right or wrong he will carry theni for a long time. To eradi- cate ti bad habit formed in break- ing is a difficult task: start. wrong and the chances are ten to one that your colt will have tricks that will render him an unsafe horse: start right and the battle is fought. If a colt kicks the first time you attempt to harness him he will be very liable to try it the next time that you come near him with a harness. If he jumps out of the shafts the first time that you draw them up be- hind him you may expect that he will make the same attempt again. If he runs back when you tell him to go. you may ex- pect he will try the same game when you bid him go again. If he turns with you on the road the first time that you start him he will do it. or try to. whenever objects ahead do not suit him. If he finds that he can master you once. just so true as he be- longs to the equine race he will is I nn make the attempt again. but make him think you are his inaster and that you can handle him as you please. and your colt is broken. and all that you will have to guard against; in the fu- ture will be yourself. Do not attempt too much at one time. advance carefully and slowly step by step. Do not ask a colt to draw you before he has been bitted and taught to rein: as well demand of a child the so- lution of a mathematical problem before he has learned to make figures as to expect a colt to drive like a trained horse before he has had the necessary prelim- inary training. Commence at the very beginning: the word “whoa." is the first letter in the alphabet of a colt’s education; how to make him understand this. how to make him know that you are both his friend and master. in short. how to give him that training which is implied in the word ‘,break."——L. W. Smith, in N. E. Farmer. Why ops? . Ina lecture before the Agri- cultural Department of the Ohio State University, L. N. Bonham, THE C3-BANG-E VISITOR. Secretary of the Ohio State Board of Agriculture. after mentioning some difficulties in arranging or prescribing a rotation of crops suited to every locality. said: The kind and success of rotations :depends not only on the climate land soil but on the market and ,labor at ones command. There :are two chief and general reasons lwhy rotation of crops is neces- ‘sary. First. for the pi'ese1'v21- tion of the soil. lsake of economy. l-leinoval of crops takes from the farm nitro- gen. phosphoric acid and potash. Butter is the only product which does not deplete the soil. Reck- 1 less farming in time reduces good isoil below the point of profitable lproductionz yet it is practically Iiiiexliaiistible. since an acre to ;the depth of one foot contains }say -*'.()t)t) lbs of nitrogen. l;'i.(it)t) }lbs of pliosplioric acid and 1;‘.- jotio lbs of potash. A twenty biishcl wheat crop takesoff nitro- Egen ill) pounds. phosphoric acid. lsay 1.3 pounds. potash about l*<.§ Epounds. lf we take off both ‘straw and grain it will take :_‘t'>ti lyears to remove the nitrogen: fl.tio:—i years to remove all the phosphoric acid. and I309 years to reniovc all the potash. (_‘oiiinici'- jcial fei'tili'/.o.-rs are a poor depend- {eiice for keeping up fertility. lThcy can only feed the crop in jpart and are to be used in stor- iing up fertility for future crops. l<'ei-tility is constantly being un- locked by cheiiiical action, by frost andiiioisture. Nitrification is the most important clieinical operation in nature. without which we cannot conceive of con- tinued fertility. The conditions favoring nitrification are: lst. a porous soil: ;’d. warnitli. as nitri- fication is dormant at forty—two degrees and most active when warm enough to decay meat and \'cgetal)lcs: ild. inoist.ur<.-, in reg- ular and iiioderate supply. Clo- ver and grasses shade the soil. retain iiioistiire. reiider it. porous and favor iiitriticatioii while. fill- ing in vcgetzililematter. Nature rotates crops. When the forests of oak and hickory have been removed a thick growth of ever- greens appears. In New Eng- land. where white pine forests have been fsemoved. maple. chest- nut: and oak have sprung up. 'A similar rotation is found in tini- othy nicadows. followed by blue grass. l§csi(,les' a general. there is a special depletion by each vaificty of crops. .-\s ca-.':li crop has special wants. we iiicrease crops by a change. but cliemis- try has not been able to tell us why. A change of variety of feed is needed for animals, but so long as the rotation is balanced. chemistry can not tell us why the changes are beneficial. Plants vary in power to appropriate food. Clover. we say. has a high power to gather nitrogen. while wheat has a low power, hence clover precedes wheat well. Wheat grows mostly in cool weather when nitrification is slow or dormant; hence the soil for wheat must be rich in nitro- gen. On the other hand. corn grows wholly in warm weather, hence needs less nitrogen to make a crop. Plants have favor- ites in plant food. Wheat. for example. takes 1.}. pounds of pot- ash to every ill of phosphoric acid. Potatoes take El‘; pounds of potash to one pound of phos- phoric acid. Leaves of plants take from the atmospliere. more than half the weight of the plant. This power varies. and broad leaf should follow narrow leaf in rotation. Plants take food only in soluble or gaseous form. It is a wise arrangement that soil does not dissolve as freely as sugar or salt. or one soaking rain would ruin us. Stirring the soil favors disintegration. hence plowed or hoed crops should follow grasses. Grasses are conservers of soil, and prevent washing and leach- ing. Rotation checks seine kinds of insect. ravages and fungi. The corn root worm does not feed on clover roots. The clover root borer does not bore corn roots or roots of wheat-, oats, etc. The smut of wheat; does not attack corn, etc. Growing a variety of crops in intelligent or scientific rotation is good economy. It divides the labor of the year, re- duces the number of teams re- quired, and gives regular employ- ment the year round. Growing one crop only. tends to dwarf men as well as to impoverish the soil. Second. foi‘ the‘ To the Farmers. You are aware no doubt that we are the only reliable .-\gricul- tural lniplcment Company that has come to the front and adver- tised broad-cast that we would deal direct with the farmers and their organizations and lived up 3 to our promise in every respect. and the only company that lias .ciit loose from the trade and ‘stood right by you. 1 Your purcliasing agents have tried to contract with other re- fliable manufacturers but have lfailed to interest theiii. And linaiiufat-.tiii'ci's who agreed to ._ioin us in the movement. backcil lout and eveii refused to let us sell their goods to farniers direct. lclaiming that the farincrs would {not stand by them. were not or- ganized on a business basis. and no one had any authority to pur- chase goods in quaiitities. which we have found to be stubborn facts. Yet we had <-ontidciice that as it was to the farnii-rs‘ in- tcrest. they would certainly niect us halt’ way. ‘(e are in receipt of letters from farmers stating that they could buy as cheap of the dealers as they could of us. Yet they admit that our tools are superior to anything in the mar- ket. and that the dealers are slashing prices and. upon invest- igalioii. we find that fariiiers liZL\'e used our prices to beat down the dealer. ls this riglit'.' (‘tin you expect us to stand by you and be treated in this way’: If lliose who deal directly with you draw out of the field. where is your lover to get low prices‘: You have none. And you will be like a 1)'.llTl1) without a handle. with plenty of water in the well and no power to raise it. Dealers have made the remark that by cutting prices they would get the fariners' trade and would freeze us out. and then they would be in a position to dictate terms. which you know is true. .~\nd while we are not very easy to freeze out. yet we are not doing business for glory. and unless the fariners and their o:'gaiiiza- tion stands by us. and live up to the promise made if we would deal direct with them. we will be compelled_ to do business on a rliiferef‘-havsis. ._ VVQ liztvé spent a good deal of time and money this season in shipping saniplcs to the differ- ent organizations and we have fully satisfied all whom we have shipped tools to that our goods are superior to anything in the market. Your purchasing agents have given tliese tools a thorough and practical test and state that it is with pride that they recom- mend them to the farmers. Scheines. we have none to offer. If a dealer or a jober wishes to buy goods at a discount below the regular prices. he makes quantity an object and the price is governed by the quantity pur- chased. And what will hold good with the dealers and job- bers will hold good with the farmers. But in order to accom- plish this you have got to be or- ganized on a business basis. Each Grange should ascertain how many tools will be wanted by its members. make an order for the number required which will enable you to get liberal dis- counts. and it will surprise you to see how cheap you can buy goods when you do business on business principles. Having placed the situation .squarely before you. and hoping that you will give us a liberal trade this fall. as we wish to deal with you and see the movement a success. we remain Very truly yours. VVHIPPLE Haincow Co. m. V. f < 3 > Pure Lard. Every farmer in the country has an interest. whether he knows before Congress. The one is the ‘Ant-i-Opt-ion bill. the other. the Pure Food bill. The first pro- poses to prohibit the grain spec- ulators selling for future deliv- ery the crops which the farmers have not harvested and the grain they have in their bins. The second asks that it shall be a punishable crime to brand or sell food compounds for what tliey§ are not. It is held that it is‘ wrong for Chicago dealers to sell the wheat crop of the country be- fore it is harvested. Itis claimedi l also by those who are opposed to‘ this sort of business that it has air very decided tendency to depress 32'-iw$! " APRIL l. 18$ 2 prices.

That ilcrops show by analysis that they icontain a certain amount of plant lfood is no reason why that full lainoiint should be included in the cost of the crop. Nature has a lcertain amount of power which is ever used to nianls advantage. ‘If a ton of hay will grow upon an acre of meadow laud each year without the addition of any plant food by the hand of man. such hay will cost only the work of harvestiiig. plus interest and taxes on the land. The hay it- self may contain three dollars worth of nitrogen. phosphoi'ic acid and potaslismore or less owing to the quality of the hay— yet that amount cannot be added to the cost of the crop. for dame ‘l\v'8.tlll’€ has freely given it all. In the production of uiiland grasses. the same principle holds true. If by an application of $‘_’t)i worth of fertilizer. a farmer can he has got pay for his work and a balance as profit. Now if the same acre of land will produce. four tons of hay in the next fourl years without any additionall inaiiure, you can see at a glancel that such hay costs simply thel work of cutting. plus iiiterest and. ‘ taxes; yet the hay will. according senting the Fai'iners' Alliance of _ Iowa. Tlire have also been filed with the committee already. and they are pouring in at an increasing rate, 200 petitions for the pro- posed law, signed by more than (5.000 farmers. Joint and con- current resolutions passed by several States are on file favor- ing the legislation. resolutions indorsing it; from the National Fai'iiiei's’ Congress. as well as from a number of State U ranges. In addition. there are before the committee several hundred priv- to analvsis contain from St} to *7 ' ate letters from intelligent farm" of plant food. If the; above amount of fertilizer willl continue to do this. then the practice" may be carried on in- ers in nearly eve.iy State in the Union. We sh all ---— -<-o>----—-- - be glad at any time to definitely: if more fertilizer be send bundles of Visitors to the needed to keep the land up to its address of any wishing them for present producing capacity, then 1 distribution.

Plants grow the year round. There is a short period of slackened growth in‘ winter. but yet they do grow.‘ Tomato seeds sown last {October had become plants 1*’ inches high in the latter lialf of January. “'0 saw 40 acres of them in one field. growing between the rows of‘ young orange trees. They plant the seeds of the tomato in hills. and then pull out the surplus. leaving the best plant for fruit ing. Strawberries were ripe and we were treated to liberal dishes of them at one place. with verita- ble Jersey cream. It is iieeilless to say our entertaiiier was a‘ northern man. and the ovation in a settlement of nortlierii people. who drove their own teams when taking us out riding. instead of turning the reins over to a “nigger.“ Although the soil of Florida is so poor. yet nature. to make amends. has stored away, only a few feet under it. vast accumula- tions of animal and rock phos- phate. as a compensation for the sterility above it. These de- posits are extremely interesting to the investigator. The animal phosphate beds are the reinains of monster marine animals or reptiles. There are ribs and tusks four feet. long and three inches in diameter. with verte- brate bonesotf larger size. These monsters seem to have been piled up in lagoons or bays at a period of the earth's history when Flor- ida was composed of detached islands or reefs. and by some convulsion of nature. overwlielni- ed by the drifting sands. to re- main siloed for the feeding of the starved land. The animal phos- phates have changed to pebbles. and is called pebble phosphate. The material is scooped out of the pits with immense steam shovels, loaded on cars and hauled to the works where it is washed, to dis- solve and carry away the super- fluous sand and animal matter. and the pebbles dried and bar- reled for shipment. The phos- phate thus prepared is sent north to the fertilizer companies who treat it with sulphuric acid. to render the fertilizer available as plant food. and to become the basis of the commercial manures sold in the markets. Another kind is called rock phosphate. and .is mined and hoisted out of the cavernous pits by niachinery. pockets of from two square rods to acres in extent. and from 20 to 40 feet thick. This does not an- alyze quite as good as the animal phosphate, according to Dr. Ked- zie's test with samples we fur- nished him. but the supply seems unlimited. It is not easily ex- plained why or how nature has furnished a material almost iden- tical with the bones of animals. and has placed it where it is needed. and disclosed it only at a time when its value can be appre- ciated and be utilized. It is claimed that this material is as available for plant food. when crushed and pulverized, as ground bone, and it may be that this will become. in future. as great a favorite with farmers as plaster has been in the past. We believe Florida has a great future before it in its undevel- iniany ways for iiioney.

Most of these farms have considt-rable of the land under culti\'atioii. and houses and burns iiil'('2l,(i_\' built. They also say that they will lease sheep and cattle on shares to the party purchasing the larnis. This would seem to be a prime oppor- tunity for ainbitious young men to obtain a start in life. { C } HOW the Farmers get left; in Politi- cal Honors. One reason why farmers do not get into office more is because they haven't any one to push them. The political newspapers are generally on the side of the other fellows and a farmer is rarely alluded to in a serious manner for any important posi- tion of trust and honor. How many real farmers were ever chosen delegates to attend a con- vention to nominate a president? and yet nearly tifty per cent. of the voting population of the country are farmers and they should have some voice in the se- lection of president. Sometimes a farmer is “talkii-d about" for governor or congressman. is now the case in Vermont. but no one seriously thinks that a farm- er will be nominated for either of these positions. The fault is primarily the far- mers. but the politicians have the advantage nearly every time and they are not over modest about using it. But if the farmers in almost any state would unite their strength upon meritorious men of their own class there would be no trouble in electing them. “Ay. but there‘s the rub.” It is a long, slow process to make the farmers of this country believe that they must help them- selves. but each year adds to this belief. and the efforts to educate farmers in this direction are be- ginning to bear fruit. Organiza- tion is as necessary for success in this direction as in any other. and when a majority of the most intelligent farmers can be made to look at the matter in this light there will be no trouble in elect- ing numbers of representative farmers to important positions in the gift of the people.—Grange Homes. . ,...,».--m.-. . . ..-.....»~. ..c.....-...-« - -yaw m .i,,-g!,_A. .PrllL 1, i892 TIEIE G-HANG-E Huron County Pomona Grange.

Pomona Grange was held at Orange Of lxilllffi-“lf-1 wiinty. met I Visitor: some of your readers of the Vis- itor to hear an account of Huron County Grange, which was heldj with North Burns Grange, .\Iarch ,‘ 10th. The day was beautiful. but oh. dear! the roads were rough. but nevertheless some ar- rived from a distance of about twenty miles. among the number was our worthy lecturer. I think this goes to Show we have some Huron. staunch grangers in county. As North Burns is the oldest grange in our county it may well boast of talent in the line of orators. poets. etc.. and especially cooks. Aftera splen- did dinner was served the meet- ing was called to order in open session. Among others present who did not belong to our frater- nal band was Mr. Septimus Er- win of Bad Axe. After the wel- come address by Bro. O. C. Blaii'. Mr. Erwin was called on fora friendly talk. to which he proinpt- iy responded: he expressed him- self highly pleased with the en- tertainment and gave his views on road building.

Dialogue by Della Campbell and Dannie Mc- Intyre. Violin solo by Colon McLean. Recess for supper. af- ter which the business was dis- posed of and the question box taken up for a time. The following resolution was unanimously adopted: Resolved. That the members of Huron County Pomona Grange greatly regret the absence of Worthy Bro. Donald McTaggart. who has always taken such wann interest in the affairs of the grange. al- ways contributing to make the meetings interesting and instruc- tive; and we hereby extend to him our sympathy in the afiiic- tion that has prevented his at- tendance. The absence of Dun- can Buchannan was also regret- ed. who was ever forinost in grange work. \Ve also mourn the untimely death of Sister Nancy Donaldson. who. in her usual good health. Feb. ‘_‘Nth. went with some relatives to spend the day with some friends. and returned home a corpse. Miss Donaldson was highly esteemed. and is much missed from the grange. Reports from sub-granges are very encouraging. Colfax Grange contemplates building a hall. and will have a picnic some time in June: a good time is anticipated. Due notice of date will be given in ihe Visitor. Sec. , . oj~--—-~-— BATAVIA. March 13th. Ed. Visitor: As there has been nothing reported from our Grange for a long time. I take the liberty to send you a few items which may interest other Granges. Batavia Grange. No. 95. is on a good foundation finan- cially and socially. we haue not had any contests this winter but instead have had a lecture course (‘of local talent) which was well patronized not only by Grangers but largely by those outside. Gov. Luce gave the last one in the course. and presented the Grange with two valuable books to add to our library. We have had several very interesting bus- iness meetings. As evidence that the teachings of the Grange are taking affect, several memorials (sent by our State Legislators to Subordinate Granges,) were sub- mitted to our Grange for action at its last regular meeting: fa- vorable action was taken upon all but one. which latter is to be debated at our next regular meet- ing. Financially. we are much ahead as we realized a nice little sum out of our lecture course. we have not fully decided upon spring and summer work, but have appointed a committee on woman‘s work which we hope will not only increase the interest in the Grange. but add to its treasury.

"It was a bitter cold day." the brother said: “nothing but a Grange meeting would have called him so far from home." The brothers and sisters kept coming until they numbered over eighty. The members discussed the subject of “corn. oats. bar- ley and potato raising" until the cut short his subject. as his pota- toes would be spoiled and they could not give them a fair test. as he furnished potatoes of the White Rose variety. to be baked for dinner. Another brother had an exhibit of Beauty of Hebron of good quality. As the dinner hour had ar- rived we were seated at the table. which was bountifully supplied and a credit to Roland Grange. We found Bro. Levally's pota- toes to be of very fine quality: he received many orders for the same. And the sisters‘ brown bread was all very nice——nine samples. No 1 received first premium. made from corn. same as took first prize. After dinner the Master called the meeting to order: a song by the choir. The auctioneer was then called to his duty. who dis- posed of the corn in a lively way. Then we had a splendid program: recitations. music. both vocal and instrumental. by the brothers and sisters of the Order. A rec- itation by Mrs. Pearl Yeoinans: song by the Misses Pearl Yeo- nians and Blanche Higbee. school children of l3annerGrange. Bro.

Visitor: Iam happy to report that I am again able to pen you a few lines. after being closed in with la gripp for many weeks during the past winter Since my last report of the doings of the Davisburg Grange. they have held many interesting meetings at the homes of Bros. D. Garners. E. Biglow. 'Wm. Jones and B. Phillips. The hour of meeting has been at 11 a. m.. lunch from 12 to 1 o‘clock. At one o'clock the Worthy Master's gavel drop- ped and the Grange opened in due form. After the transaction of business. followed literary ex- ercises. consistingof essays. reci- tations. music. discussions. etc. At four o‘clock we would bid adieu to host and hostess and re- turn to our respective homes, feeling that the day had been pleasantly and profitably spent. Last. but not least. we celebrat- ed our anniversary at Davisburo‘. conducted by our young people. An evening entertainment. con- sisting of a temperance play and a farce to a full house. and a very enjoyable time was had. Our next meeting will be held at the home of Elder Lyons. in Davisburg. on the second Satur- day in April, at .11 a. m. Respectfully. L.‘hristopher R. K. D. inatrons called to Bro. Levally to‘ lfarmer and the Granger. A ' speech that will long be remem- jbered by the Patrons and people fof Kalkaska county. Long may lhe live. and much good may he ihe able to do is the prayer of the Z Patrons. Cur somewhat lengthy pro- gram was deferred until our next meeting. to be held May ‘_’—lth and ‘_’.'itli. at the Boardman Val- ley Grange Hall. Mrs. H. A. Barnard. Lec't. ,,-,. Madison Grange No. 2-5>'*J.—--Etl. Visitor: I have long felt it my duty as a Patron of Husbandry. to write something for the Vis- itor. and will first give a report of Madison Grange. I am proud to say our meetings are well at- tended and cannot call to meni- having a meeting on our regular night. Our members generally pay their dues from six months to a year ahead. and every family represented is supplied with the Visitor from the Grange treas- ury. and I can sincerely say we are better represented at our meetings on account of it. Our oflicers this year are nearly all new ones and are proving them- selves capable. We have ad- vanced a class of thirteen to the fourth degree (sixteen taking the first and second at once) and have seven more on the way. We were in hopes to have ter Mayo. our general Deputy. with us in Lenawee ere this. but she will be warmly welcomed when she does come. Sister Mayo is no stranger to Leiia.wee. and we anticipate a rich reward as the result of her labors among us. Our Pomona Grange is coin- posed of ten Subordinate Granges and all but two own halls of their own. We also have four dor- mant Granges. and there is mis- sionary work to be done among the living as well as the dead. The committee appointed by the State Grange. of which Bro. Horton is cl’iairman. deserve much credit and. if their plans are pushed by the State authori- ties. will supply a long felt neces- sity. Just pause and think for a moment. if our farmer organiza- tions should cease to exist. what a state of affairs there would be. Then. for the sake of our chil- dren and our children's children. let us have faith in the noble cause we represent-. It seems to me that if these general deputies take hold of this matter at the present time. and have faith in the objects we are seeking to ac- complish. and faith in our power to accomplish the great reform that is so much needed for the benefit of the farmer. together with our hearty co-operation. they can and will succeed. And now brother and sister Patrons let us have the faith that will lift us out of our own selfish- ness and help us to see the needs of the Order and class to which we belong. and let us seek those conditions which will be for the welfare of coming generations.

The Grange is steadily but surely winning its way in poli- tics by metliods of its own. It has always shunned the alliance plan of trying to run every- ; thing and finally getting practic- ally iiotliing. The Grange plan is first to educate public opinion by agitating and discussing pub- lic questions and rcforins which ‘its inn-inbers believe would l)e for ithc liigln-st and best iiifemsfs of the people. \Vhile if niay be true that public opinion is a dull gscliolar and slow to appri-heiitl ltlw truth. but it is equally true llll2ll\\'ll('l1 public opinion is fully iarouscd rcforins are sure to fol- low.

The (lrand Rapids Press aptly remarks. l<‘arni«-rs in thickly settled sections can confidently expect a free daily delivery of" mail. and in viewof this valuable change that is surely coming in the near future to them. they should set about getting better roads. At the town incctings the best qualified men should be se- lected for highway commission- cr.sand oversecrs and liberal sums should be voted for the improve- ment.

My "old fogy” heart was made to fairly ache sometime ago when I received a letter from one of my fashionable nieces; it was filled with a description of a birthday party attended by her son. five years old, then in his first pair of pantaloons. The hostess, a four-year—old tot, re- ceived her guests in a tea-gown with a train, etc. The young five-year—old escorted a midget of about t-he same age. There were “favors. ” etc. .——in perfect imita- tion of main ma's fashionable teas.
