Declaration of Purposes

Of the Patrons ot Husbandry.
PREABIBLE.

Profoundly inipressed with the truth
that the National Grange of the United

States should definitely proclaim to the »

world its general objects, we hereby
unanimously make this Declaration of
Purposes of the Patrons of Husbandry:

GENERAL OBJECTS.

1. United by the strong and faithful
tie of agriculture. we niutiiall_v resolve to
labor for the good of our Order, our
country, and mankind.

2. \\'e heartily endorse the motto, “In
essentials, unity; in non-essentials, liberty;
in all things, charity.”

SPECIFIC oB.iE('Ts.

3. \Ve shall endeavor to advance our

cause by laboring to accomplish the follow-
ing ob'ects:

To develop a better and higher manhood
and womanhood among ourselves. To en-
hance the comforts and attractions of our
homes, and strengthen our attachments to
our pursuits. To foster mutual under-
standing and co-operation. To maintain
inviolate our laws, and to emulate each
other in labor, to hasten the good time
coming. To reduce our expenses. both in-
dividual and corporate. To buy less and
produce more, in order to make our farms
self-sustaining. To diversify our crops,
and crop no more than we can cultivate.
To condense the weight of our exports,
selling less in the bushel and more on hoof
and in fleece: less in lint, and more in warp
and woof. To systematizc our work, and
calculate intelligently on probabilities. To
discountenance the credit s ystein, the mort-
gage system, the fashion system. and every
other system tending to prodigality and
bankruptcy.

We propose meeting together. talking
together, working togetliei'. buying to-
gether, selling together, and. in general.
acting together for our mutual protection
and advancement, as Occasion may require.
We shall avoid litigation as much as pos-
sible by arbitration in the Grange. We
shall constantly strive to secure entire liar-
mony, good will. vital brotherhood among
ourselves, and to make our Order
perpetual. We shall earnestly endeavor to
suppress personal, local. sectional, and na-
tional prejudices. all unhealthy rivalry. all
selfish ambition. Faithful adherence to
these principles will insure our mental,
moral, social and material advanceiiient.

BUSINESS RELATIONS.

4. For bur business interests, we de-
sire to bring producers and consumers,
farmers and manufacturers, into the most
direct and friendly relations possible.
Hence we must dispense with a surplus of
middle—men, not that we are unfriendly to
them, but we do not need them. We wage
no aggressive warfare against any other
interests whatever. On the contrary, all
our acts and all our eflorts, so far as busi-
ness is concerned, are not only for the
benefit of the producer and consumer, but
also for all other interests that tend to
bring these two parties into speedy and
economical contact. Hence we hold that
transportation companies of every kind are
necessary to our success, that their inter-
ests are intimately connected with our in-
terests, and harmonious action is mutually
advantageous, keeping in view the first
sentence in our Declaration of Principles
of action, that “Individual happiness de-

ends upon general prosperity.“

VVe shall, therefore, advocate for every
state the increase in every practicable way,
of all facilities for transporting cheaply to
the seaboard, or between home producers
and consumers, all the productions of our
country. VVe adopt it as our fixed pur-
pose to “open out the channels in nature’s
great arteries, that the life bood of com-
merce may flow freely.”

We are not enemies of railroads, naviga-
ble and irrigatin canals, nor of any cor-

ration that wil advance our industrial
interests, nor of any laboring classes.

In our noble Order there is no commun-
ism, no agrarianism. _ _

We are opposed to such spirit and man-
agement of any corporation or enterprise

1
i

as tends to oppress the people and rob

; them of their just profits. We are not ene-

I mies to ca iital but we 0 i iose the tvraniiv
l s .,

1 of monopolies.

\Ve long to see the antag-

% onisiii between labor and capital removed
j by common consent, and by an enlight-

ened statesmanshi) worthy of the nine-
teenth century. We are opposed to ex-
cessive salaries, high rates of interest and
exorbitant per cent profits in trade. They

: greatly increase our burdens, and do not

bear a proper proportion to the profits of
producers. VVe desire only self-protection.
and the protection of every true interest
of our land, by legitimate transactions, le-
gitiniate trade, and legitimate profits.

EDLTATION.

We shall advance the cause of education
among ourselves, and for our children, by
alljust means within our power. We es-
speciallv advocate for our agricultural and
industrial colleges, that practical agriciil-
tiire, domestic science, and all the arts
which adorn the home, be taught in their
courses of study.

THE GRANGE NOT PARTISAN.

 \\'e emphatically and sincerely assci't
the oft—repeated truth taught in our organ-
ic law, that the Grange, National, State,
or Subordinate——is not a political or party
organization. No Grange, if true to its
obligations, can discuss partisan or secta-
rian questioiis, noi' call political conven-
tions, nor nominate candidates, nor even
discuss their merits in its meetings.

Yet the principles we teach underlie all
true politics, all true statesiiianship, and,
if properly carried out, will tend to purify
the whole political atmosphere of our coun-
try. For we seek the greatest good to all.

‘Xe must always bear in mind that no
one. by becoming a Patron of Husbandry,
gives up that inalienable right and duty
which belongs to every Ainerican citizen.
to take a proper interest in the politics of
his country.

On the contrary, it is right for every
ineiiiber to do all in his power legitimately
to influence for good the action of any po-
litical party to which he belongs. It  his
duty to do all he can in his own party to
put down bribery, corruption and trickery;
to see that none but competent. faithful
and honest men, who will unflincliingly
stand by our interests are nominated for
all positions of trust; and to have carried
out the principle which should always
cliaracterize every Patron, that

THE ()FI<‘I(‘E .\'HOL'I.I) SEEK THE MAN, AND
NOT THE MAN THE OFFICI-I.

We acknowledge the broad principle
that difference of opinion is no crime, and
hold that “progress toward truth is made
by differences of opinion, " while "the
fault lies in bitterness of controversy."

“Ye desire a proper equality, equity and
fairness: protection for the weak: restraint
upon the strong; in‘ short, justly distribu-
ted burdens and justly distributed power.
These are American ideas, the very essence
of American independence, and to advo-
cate the contrary is unworthy of the sons
and daughters of the American republic.

V\'e cherish the belief that seetionalism
is, and of right should be, dead and
buried with the past. Our work  for the
present and the future. In our agricultu-
ral brotherhood and its purposes, we shall
recognize no north, no south, no east, no
west.

It is reserved by every Patron, as the
right of a freeman, to affiliate with any
party that will best carry out his princi-
pies.

OUTSIDE CO-OPERATION.

6. Ours being a peculiarly farmers’ in-
stitution, we cannot admit all to our ranks.

Many are excluded by the nature of our
organization, not because they are pro-
fessional men, or artisans, or laborers, but
because they have not a. suflicient direct in-
terest in tilling the soil, or may have some
interest in conflict with our purposes. But
we appeal to all good citizens for their cor-
dial co-operation to assist in our eflorts to-
ward reform, that we may eventually re-
move from our midst the last vestige of
tyrann and corruption.

We ail the general desire for fraternal
harmony, equitable compromises, and

as an omen of our

earnest co-operation,
giiture success.

co.\'cI.L'sIo.\‘.
3 ‘~ 7 It shall be an abiding principle with
, as to relieve any of our oppressed and
' sufl'ering brotherhood by any means at our
Cfllllnltlntl.

Last. but not least, we proclaim it among
_o'_ur purposes to inculcate a proper appre-
ciation of the abilities and sphere of woiii—
 as is indicated by adniitting her to
menibei'ship and position in our Order.

“jInip_loring the continued assistance of
ogr Divine Master to guide us in our work,
 here pledge ourselves to faithful and
l1l}I‘mOnl()lIS labor for all future time, to
return by our united efforts to the wisdom,
justice, fraternity and political purity of
our forefathers.

‘ The Liquor Commission.

_,DEAi: Sin AND BROTHER: Ihave given
 "bill" a hasty perusal and without
reaching a decided conclusion am not in-
c ‘j_,ed to favor it. It hardly calls for an
itttén of information that is not now spread
0,, gin one form or another before the peo-
p,7.§;'_of the state. The evil is not restricted
Of;§leStl’0)'&l through want of information
in.'='1_'egard to its appalling character, or the
evil which it inflicts upon society; nor do
th ‘ grow out of any difliculty in securing
th__enactinent of wholesome laws. DitIi—
cufiliy in enforcing anything like prohibi-
tor",'- enactments furnishes the insuriiiount—
abid object to progress in teiiiperance
wtffk. If this bill can help along these
liigci it may be wise to convert it into law.
bi*:'« 0 far as I have known, state commis-
siu iii in this work have fallen far short of
- that xpcctations of'their friends.

Ci’I~:L‘s G. LITE.

.l)IT()l{ GRANUI-I VI.~'I'l‘Ul:2 At your re-
ipncst, Icheei'full_v give e.\prcssioii to my
opinion of the "Iiill to pi'ovide for a com-
mission to make investigation relative to
the liquor tinllic, etc.“

There seems to me to be great inei'it in
«the general plan of such bill. There is
doubtless an overwhelining temperance sen-
timent in our state. and it has accoiuplislied
much. I believe, however. that it would
accoinplish even more if in some way it
could be unified. The bill, in my opinion,
is in the interest of such unification. It
provides in section :1. for obtaining facts to
3 be arrived at by correct deductions from
reliable statistics. Statistics are danger-
ous things to make deductions from, uii—
less the person who iiiakes such deductions
is a thorough and honest statisticiaii,
knows just the bearing of figures on each
other, and the exact relation which
they hold to each other, is a per-
son of judicial mind which re-
fuses to warp statistics to prove a theory.
The number of reliable statisticians is very
small. I know of no better way to obtain
the thorough and complete information
needed on this subject in which all good
citizens must be, and I believe are deeply
interested; information in which there
shall be full confidence, and against which
no suspicion of bias shall find place, than
in the way proposed by this bill.

Yours very truly.

Corrections and Charities.

Gov. Luce’s Appeal.

DEAR (:‘rRA:\'oE,\'isIToR: I presume that
the subscription of many subscribers to the
GrRA.\'GE Visiroa expires with this month.
I am intensely anxious that all should re-
new and that more should subscribe for the
Grange organ. I have watched the rise
and fall of Subordinate Granges for many
years and have tried to search out the
cause for the failure of the one and the
success of the_other.  do‘not know a
prosperous, live, active Grange in the
state that does not subscribe ,freely for the
VIsIToR. It is an index of success toa
great extent. _

Believing in the Grange, asl do, this

man or set of men, but for all members of
the Order and others who ought to be
members, I plead and urge subscriptions

appeal is made not in the interest of any‘

i for the Visiroiz.

The contract for its publication extends
for another year. The contractors are

fgoing to get their inoiiey. anyhow, and
. now I again appeal to all members of the
‘ Order especially to make them earn their

money by increasing the demand for the
paper. The paper is a good one. It is
printed in clear, plain type. The adver-
tisements are few. It contains matters of
interest to members of the Order and to
farmers generally that cannot be found in
any other paper. To one and all I again
appeal. Procure subscribers for the paper.
In clubs of five or more it will be sent one
year for forty cents for each subscriber.
Not one who reads it need do so at a loss.
Fi'atei'nally.

I/M (7/'rtn_«/e.‘

I regret very much that I cannot report
the Grange in Kent county in as prosper-
ous a condition as I could wish. \Ve have
not made the advanceinent the past year
we should have made. Assistance is need-
ed in the field. the harvest is plenty, but
the laborers are few. Very little de iuty
or lectiii'e work has been done. I think
but one lecture during the year, that was
by Sister Mayo, and in the busy peach sea-
son, was iiot as well attended as it other-
wise would have been. I am afraid many
of us are not strictly living up to our ob-
ligation according to the best of our ability.
There are many causes for this seeming
lack of interest in the Grange.

\\'e have four different farmers’ Ol'~,‘5i”;i‘-“-it . v

zations aside from the Grange, the l

Association, Valley City Horticultural So-
ciety, and Lowell Ilistrict Council. These,
with the scarcity of money and the depre-
ciation in prices of all kinds of farm prod-
uce. tends to keep many froin joining the
Graiigc that otlicrivisc would. .\lau_v of
our ineiubers find it dillicult to pay taxes
and uieet the iieccssary expenses of family
and home. hence fail to pay dues. liut we
ai'e taught in our order to cultivate the
habit of looking for better and brigliter
days. instead of‘ uiourning over the past.
To bring about this result we must be true
to oiii' convictions of right and duty in
Grange as well as other niatters. Let us
do all in our power to induce the young
people to become meinbcrs of the Grange
and give them a large share of the respon-
sibilities and otlices. and thus give them
soinethiiig to do. I believe this is one
thing wherein the future prosperity of the
Grange lies. Kespectfiilly subinitted,
' J. II. .\IAiri‘ix.

The Marvels of our Bodily Dwelling,

\Vho has Iiot thought, although perlia is
dimly, of the "‘house" we live in! Trully
a wonderful house, with rooms. door, and
windows. How remarkable a house it is
grows on the reader of another book by
Dr. .\lary\Vood—Allen, larger than those
mentioned in the last Visiroii, and called
“The Marvels of our Bodily Dwelling.”
The price is one dollar, ten cents for post-
age, from the \\'ood-Allen Publishing
Company, Ann Arbor. \\'hile it gives
physiology scientifically, it does so in such
a way that children will absorb it and
grown people rejoice to see it made so in-
yiting and practical. The effects of alco-
hol and tobacco are plainly shown, and
concerning every “rooni” of this marvel-
ous abode, the result of failure to care for
it is pointed out. For home reading or as
an aid at school, this is an adniirabloI3 book.

Dear Sir: The paints I purchased of
you in 1893 have fully answered all expec-

raised in large quantities for feed. and pe:1
soup for the Frenchmen. We never have
any bugs in pe:1s raised here. \\'e have
probably four thousand busliels of buck-
wheat growing in the county this season,
and the Harrisville roller mill company
has a buckwheat flour outfit in this mill
that turns out buckwheat tlour that cannot
beexcelled in Michigan. We are raising
beans very successfully, and as for hay we
raise the very nicest and lots of it.

SITUATION.

Alcona county is situated along the west
shore of Lake Huron. The Detroit and
Mackinac R. R. runs parallel with the
shore about 10 miles back through the
whole county from north to south. The
pine and hemlock timber has been nearly
all cut off, and agriculture will be the
staple from now on. The last five years
have been eventful years in opening up the
county to agriculture, and we boast of our
fine farms clear of stumps, with good
fences, well provided with_ modern farm
machinery and stocked with dine cattle,
shee and hogs. _ _ _

V e have a variety of soil to suit the
rospector. If a _man should want clay
oam we have it in abundance, and any
other loam he may Want. I prefer a _va—
riety of soil on one farm «because I believe
in growing a variety of crops. The farmer
that put in all his plow land to potatoes
this year is left on price.

Despite the big increase in the poultry
business the last five yc:1rs. and the close
attention now given it, there is room for
still greater expansion before it is over-
done. Figures relating to the industry.

an extensive inquiry. enormous as they are.
f:1il to show any general overproduction.
These conclusions are reached after :1 studv
of advance proofs of census statistics never
before printed, the home market situation,
together with oflicial figures suggesting
possibilities of foreign outlet for poultry
products, and most careful deductions from
other available data. The magnitude of
the poultry business is never imagined bv
those who have not made a study of the
situation. In round numbers our figures
show what may be termed a permanent in-
vestment of 340 million dollars in poultrv
in this country. This is reached on the
basis of an average valuation of fowls 50c
each, turkeys, ducks and geese $1, eggs
120 per dozen. Considering the vast
amount of money invested in breeds of

Songs of Love and Joy.

Can anything be sweeter than our brighter
songs of joy ?

Long and loud the joyful chorus swells, all
free from earth’s alloy;

And then our happy hearts respond—our bet- ~

Radiant faces beaming brightly. sparkling
.eyes o’erflow with love.

As love, and joy, and song abound, they fill
us with delight,

-Do not our brighter blessings wing their way

gentle mother of Robert Iiuriis imbued
her spirit into her young son by telling
him the traditions of her country while
seated at her whecl——that spirit that burst
forth in the beautiful songs that have made
so much music for the world. It has been
said that home is where the heart is.

The sailor as he paces the lone deck at
midnight, listening to the ceaseless splasli
of the waters and the creaking cordage, in
fancy sees the images of loved ones, and
the little cot by the sliore passes before his
vision. and many a silent prayer has gone
up to the throne of grace as the tears
coursed down the bronzed cheek, that the
bark would anchor safely in the harbor
of /10//ic. Children, prize your homes.
Mothers, live such lives that your influence
will shed a luster that time will never dim.

peacefully on your breast and your toil in
the home is over, your children may  of

we worshipped, so long as we live never
shall we forget your teachings;
they will follow wh erever we

that threaten. To us you have been a
queen on earth—bright be your crown in
heaven. May God prosper the women of
every elime whose sweet and holy influence
has circled the world like a halo of glory,
and may he hasten the day when she shall
stand where she rightly belongs, among
the mighty salons of this great land.

One Hundred Years Ago.
It being February 22, 1876.

Once upon a time, in a farm house, with
four rooms and two outside chimneys, a
baby was born. The house was far _away
from any other house; the day was in the
winter time; the baby came soon after
breakfast, and thereby we may not believe
that any signs of es iecial Joy were given
outside of the farm oiise.

A Great Meeting.

and Teachers

This meeting opened Tliiirsdiiy evening,

February 13, :1t Colunibiiin li:1ll. Hesperizi.
Five hundred people zittended the evening
meeting which was taken 11p by the cl1il-
dren :1nd pupils of Hesperia school. After
n111sic:1ndpr:1yci' Maggie Overly read :1
paper on “Reliition of school life to after
life." The centi'21l thought of the paper
was that school life should be :1 discipline
for the work of :ifter life. Maud Stone
gave :1 paper on “Looking B:1ck\v:1rd from
Appoiiiattox," showing step by step how
hun1:inity had to l121\'C the lesson which
ended :it Appoiii:1’tto.\:. l):1niel Critchet
gave an :iddi'e:ss showing how we could
learn :1 v:il11:1ble lesson on “Looking For-
w:1rd from Appomzittox. " “Power of iii-
fluence iii home and school" w:1s given by
Minnie Alcx:indei', who said this power ex:
tended from the cr:1dle to the grave. :11id
was the i1ie:1s11i'e of II.vr"f'///)H*.\-.\' or I/.\'r/(aw/Ir,’-‘:.\‘
of men and women.
. Morris Rowland (llSCllSSe(l the “L'pbuild-
ing influence of the study of :igi'ic11lt11i'c."
showing that this pursuit w:1s the most
ancient, the most honorable, the most es-
sential. “If :1 young in:1n started out to
f:1rin in sympzithy with n:1tui'c, :1iid fol-
lowed her teachings, he would find himself in
love. like Bry:1iit, with nziture." \\'e wiint
more young men in :1gric1iltur:1l pursuits
because they select that pursuit, not be-
cause they are forced into it," said Mr.
Rowland.

Henry McColluin discussed the influence
of some American lives on huni:1ni1,y. Lin-
coln, Peter Cooper, and Longfellow were

ointed out as great helpers of h11m:1nity.

enry related an incident where Peter
Cooper zippertred in the light of :1 monopo-
list. The woi'ld was purchasing so much
of his invention that it excluded others.
This troubled Mr. Cooper, :1nd instead of
squeezing more money out of his custom-
ers he reduced the price.

Jessie \Vitley spoke of the influence of
American women, showing how l)oi'othe:i
Dix reformed the treatment of the insane:
how Clara Barton had made her name
great in all lands and for all ages in her
treatment of suffering humanity; how Har-
riet Beecher Stowe inspired the Union
boys to fling back Picketfs forlorn hope at
Gettysburg. _ _

Jessie Rowland spoke of “Our national
hymns, their authors, and their eflect _on
American life.” “Hail Columbia" and its
effect as portrayed in the Ҥtor_y; of Lib-
erty” Was depicted. Our “btar bpangled
Banner” and the “Battle Hymn of the
Republic,” were Well discussed. One_of
the most beautiful essays _of the evening
was “The cheapest conimodityin the world
_c0u1-tesy,” given by Emma ll aters, whg
plead for a kinder, sweeter tieatnient 0
mankind in their relations with their broth-
ers and sisters. The little kiudnesses that
make up the sum of happiness were‘pointed
out as influencing the world for good.
Music and recitations helped Speed the
evening which all declared h:1d been up-

‘ lifting. '

should go together. "Man lives not by

er btillson opened the discussion by sziying
that the prim:1ry object of the state should
be to educate its children to be useful citi-
zens. The ti'u:1nt oflicer, the Cllall'lll£i.Il of
the board of school inspectors, is often
fearful of hurting some oiie's feelings. l\'c
should do our duty, let it hurt or not hurt.
Question box was opened which proved
:1 helpful iiicans of instruction: music by
the Hesperizi choir opened the p. in. session.

M:1yorl’ingi'ee on “Unjiist T:1x:ition,"
said: “The present system of state tax-
ationis clearly inequitzible, because the
system of assessiiieiit is not equit:1ble', still
the ineqiialities are supposed to be reiiie—
died by the state board of equalizzition. The
thing to he arrived at is an assessment ad-
justed to the varying values. But the city
assessors and the township supervisors are
human, and so are the taxpayers; and any
system may in some way be made disad-
vantzigeoiis to some part of the people.
The danger in this respect is of course,
much greater the more the l118.lZte1' of as-
sessinents is involved by taxing personal
property. The simplest method of assess-
ment is the best, as less likely to aid con-
cealment.

The stiflness of legislative methods
should be thrown off and more flexibility
given to it. This can be only reached
when the people and not special interests
are represented at Lansing. For years
your legislature has been the mere servant
of these special interests and the great
alfaii's of the state have been tritled with.
As it is your own exclusive duty to attend

The ‘-

 to this, who can reach :1nv other conclusion
than that you have neglected your busi-
. ness and that the special interests have at-
 tended to theirs? You complain of excess-
l"e tilxiltifln by the state. It is in vour
T hands to rcniedy it. '
You sufl'er from indirect taxation! You
f can largely remedy that. You have or-
, gzinized societies to disciiss your :itl':1irs
; and the discussion has gone on for \'e:lI's.
‘ Is there not time to be taken to put these
lldiscussions into pl‘£iL'ilL‘tll ctfcctf ls there

well as the tl1eoi'eti'ic:1l{ ls mere discus-
sion to go on forever.’ l'ndci' your own
eyes and within the control of ‘your own

dy for your greatest ill and it li:is been
neglected. lt is the ciiucus. That weapon

ests for years.
by so doing have lost the ballot, It is
your own surrender of this great‘ right
that has cost you dear in the piist :iiid will
cost you more in the future if it is not re-
g:1ined."

Recitation, Mriud Young. who was called

SUGGESTIOl\'S.

The question of imiiiigrzition is one of vital
iinportzince to the present prosperity and fu-
ture existence of this republic, and as it will
come before the present congress for ac-
tion, the opinion of farmers from all parts
of the country will have much to do with
its disposition.

The chai':1cter of its people is what gives
permanence and standing to a nation. In
former years the immigriints to this co1in-
try were mainly from those countries of
Europe, whose people would readily as-
similate with our distinctively American
population in habits and ch:1raete1', but in
more recent years to quote a distinguished
American statesiiian: “There has been :1
change in the character of our immigra-
tion. Races with which we have never as-
similated, countries froni which We have
never drawn support, have begun to send
us immigrants in large bodies. That

bullied her out of :1 strip three hundred

Colon Grange.)-'0. 215, held a grand reunion
and rally at their hall, February 8, and after
Ilartaking of a bounteous repast a line program
was listened to._ Bro. D. D. Buell and '1‘homas
Buell_Jr., of Lnion City, and Sarah Covey, of

eonidas, were the speakers of the day. They
were followed by Sisters. Ott Legit. Sister A, S.
Prout and Sister Erwin Weed with fine papers.
All went to their homes feeling benefited for
having attended.

The last meeting of Hillsdale Pomona was
heldat South Jefferson Grange hall February
8th. There was a good attendance. The pa-
;pers presented and discussions were intensely
interesting. Our next meeting will be held
at Adams Grange hall March 5th. We are
specially pleased with the plan of work out-
lined in the Quarterly Bulletin for the coming
year and intend to make an effort to concen-
trate forces along the line therein specified.

Mas. H. A. HI.'.\'l{ER, Lecturer.

The Granges of Branch county are all doing
excellent work. Our young Mattison, though
but four months old is in health and vigor of
manhood. Colon Grange, St. Joseph county
had a rally and they feel encouraged to think

, that the old members are coming back, with

good prospects of new ones. Brother Deputies,
a general awakening of the Grauges is a prize
‘worth striving after. Have faith, hope, and
persevere. D. D. BUELL, Deputy Lecturer.

The next monthly meeting of Eaton county
Pomona Grange will be held by invitation with
Eaton Rapids Grange, March 14, 1896. The
Iorenoon will be devoted to fraternal greetings,
reports from Subordinate Granges, etc. After
dinner the following topics will form part of
the program: Music, to be conducted by Lou
Pray; “Concentrate, organize," M. A. J acokes;
“Are there any hard times for good farmers 1?”
F. A. Osborn; recitation. Miss Gardner; Pure
words, thoughts and deeds, Merta Pray; lleport
-of the state dairymens’ association, Amos
Clatiin; recitation. Nate Hull.

Mits. S. J. SHAW, Lecturer.

It has been some time since I saw anything
in the VISIT()B from our Grange. Acme
Grange is situated in the southeast corner of
Hillsdale county, and although we have met
‘witha great many reverses, yet we are still
living and doing some good work. We are not
as strong in membership as we once were, but
we have those left that are good Grange work-
ers. We have done business in the way of pur-
-chasing to tho amount of $500 in 1895. and we
.hope to increase this year. The Granges in
Hillsdale county are in a better condition
’-than they have been for a few years. Ran-
som Grange has been organized with 39 charter

members. Let the good work go on.
S. E. Hsroiiiar, Secretary.

refreshments. IIRH. J. BOWDITCII.

Huron county held a very successful annual

meeting with Wadsworth bran , although the
roads were in a terrible bad condition. There
was a good attendance from Verona Mills
Grange a distance of 12 miles, there being 18 or
20 among which were our delegates to the State
Grange, Brother and Sister Hunt, who gave us
3 very interesting account of that session. The
oflicers were elected for the ensuing year and
duly installed as follows: Master, John Hunt;
Overseer, Joseph Donaldson; Lecturer, Wm.
Burhans; Steward, Richard Nugent; Chaplain.

will be held with North Burns Grange on

EDITOR GRANGE VISITOR: I see that my
subscription to the VISITOR has expired. 80 1
willsendamoney order. Just send the wel-
come VISITOR along and we _will make him feel
at home. We would miss him as much as we
would a pet child. I have spoken many a good
word for the VISITOR, and have solicited sub-
scriptions for it. I believe that Brother F.
Woodward and myself are the only ones in
Parkville Grange that take it. Come to think
-of it, Brother A. Strong is also a subscriber.
This seems all wrong to me._ I ask myself this
question, “Can our Order exist long, grow to be
influential, without a representative organ?”
I answer, N 0. Now as the l:[oosier_would ex-
press himself, the VISITOR is a "right smart
paper.” It is sound on almost all matters per-
taining to agriculture. _ _ .

To say that Parkville Grange is alive
would be putting it light. A_Grange, iike
asick man, is alive and yet might be at the

int of death. Parkville Grange is not even
sick, but well and prospering. Saturday, Feb-
tuary 22, a farmers’ institute was held at Park-
-ville Grange hall, conducted by Parkville
Grange. The following topics. "Farmers Or-
ganizations,” “Farm Gardening,” “Profits of
Farming,” and “'1‘axatlon," were.presented, and
the discussions brought out were of great ben-
efit. The attendance was good. and the insti-
mte was in every way a pronounced success.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications. as they cannot reach the
diseased portion of the car. There is only one
way to cure deafness, and that is by constitu-
tional remedies. Deafness is caused by an in-
llamed coiidiiion of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets iii-
i flamed you have a rumbling sound or imper-
; fect hearing. and when it is entirely closed
deafness is the result, and uiilesstlie inflamma-
tion can be taken out and this tube restored to
its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed
— forever; nine cases out often are caused by

catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed con-
f dition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One llundred Dollars for any
5 case of deafness (caused by catarrh) that cannot
,' be cured by lla1l’s Catarrli Cure. Send for cir-
: culars free.

him all, for tout sax-oil-, c'est tout pardon-

er inference from Mrs. Hess1ei_rrave"s plain
words than the inference he actually drew,
and Kathleen admitted to herself that if
she had really been what Arnold supposed
her she would have more than deserved the
treatment he had accorded her. It was
just that indeed that made the sting of
the situation. She would have despised
herself for being what she knew Arnold
Willoughby couldn’t possibly help think-
ing of her.

Before long, however, many other things
supervened to take Kathleen’s mind for
the present. oil‘ Arnold Willoughby. Spring
had set: in over sea in England “with its
usual severity,” and Mrs. Hessle-grave felt’.
it was time to return from the balmy May
of Italy to the chilly and gusty month
which usurps the same name in our north-
ern climates. So they struck their tents
northward. As soon as they returned there
were the exhibitions to see about, and the
sale of Kathleen's pictures and sketches
to arrange for, and the annual trouble of
Mr. lieginaldfla finances with their normal
deficit. Mr. Reginald indeed had been
“going it” that year with more than his
accustomed vigor. He had been seeing a
good deal through the whiter of his friend
Miss Florrie, and though Miss Florrie for
her part had not the slightest intention of
“chucking up her chances” by marrying
Mr. Reginald she “rather liked the boy”
in‘a mild uncommercial fashion and per-

the tlefieii-iicy, he would burst. in upon liei
with this sort of talk about the iiiipo.-'.si—
bility of SI't-'\‘.'lll_‘..{ iii the pit of a theater
and the absolute iii-I-essity for every gen-
tleman to liave a stall of his own and H.
flower in his butronliole. even though it
devolved upon other people to pay for
them. To say the truth, they had no coin-
iiion point of contact. Kathleen's princi-
ple was that you had no right, to contract
debts if you had no iiieaiis of paying them.
Reggies principle was that you must live
at all hazards “like a gt-iitleiiia;1,” even
though you allowed a woman to pay with
her own work for the cost of the proceed-
ings.

As soon as Ree-'gie‘s affairs had been set
comparatively strziiglit. and as many of
his more pre. sing debts as he could be in-
duced for the iiioliielit to acknowledge had
been duly discharged by Kathleenls aid,
the poor girl set to work in real earliest to
discover, if possible, ‘.\‘llt'tl3 had become of
Arnold \Vi1lougliby. She didn't want to
see him——not3 just at present at least, till
this niisuiiderstaiiding was cleared up, if
cleared up it could ever be by her bare as-
sertion. But she did want to know where
he was. to write and explain to him, to tell
him how deeply and how completely he
It was all in vain,
however. She had to eat her heart out
with unfulfilled desire. Go where she
would, she could hear nothing at all of
him. She dived into the recesses of east
end coffee houses, sadly against her will
—places where it seemed incredible to her
that Arnold Willoughby should be found
and where nevertheless many sailors
seemed to know him. “Willoughby, aye,
Willoughby——that’s the chap that used to
make me hand him over my screw as soon
as it was paid and send three parts of it
home to my missus and keep the rest for
me, for baccy and such like. Aye, he was
a good sort, he was. but it’s long sin’ I
saw him. Drowned mayhap, or left. the
sea or soinmat.” That was all she could
hear of Arnold in the seafaring quarter.
It seemed quite natural to those hardy

“\Vell, I allow the pcrt’iiines.” Kath-

her beloved \'i-nicb, “but as to the typhoid
I have my doubts. The sea seeiiis to puri-

I've spent live winters in Venice, and
‘ I‘ve never had a personal friend ill with

fIt isn’t always the places that look the
dirtiest: which turn out in the long run to
be really most insanittiry. And if it: comes
to that, what could possibly be worse than
those slunis we passed on our way out of
the close, near the pointed are way, where
you cross the river?”

; of fact, those particular slums were the
i‘ property of the dean and chapter of Nor-

”made it of course all the more intolerable
that they should attract the attention of a
complete stranger.

“Those are very good cottages—very good
cottages indeed. I can see nothing wrong
with them. You can’: expect to house
working people in the bishop’s palace and
to give them port wine and venison every
day ad libitum. But as workingmen’s
houses they’re very good houses, and I

Keep your stock healthy by using it in your
stables, barns, etc. As an absorbent of Am-

to the value of your manure it applied daily,
and that means so much to render farming
successful. These considerations are invalu-
