We solicit tie cooperation Of wo

without her aid, success will be less
certain and decided. Much might
be said in this connection, but every
husband and brother knows that
where he can be accompanied by his
wife or sister, no lesson will be
learned but those of purify and
truth.

has hltheito prevented. the origina.
tors from calling attention 10 its
work, but the great iayor with which
1t has been received, prompts co.
boIder action, satisfied that the noble
purposes to which the Order is dedi.
Gated, will command the respect and
serious attention OF all.
We ignore all political or religious
discussions in the Order; we do not
solicit the patronage OF any sect, as
sociation or individual, upon any
grounds whatever, except upon tn.
Intrinsic merits Of tire Order. It

are 10 advance education, TO elevate
and dignity the occupation Of the

'ly affected.
There Is no association that secures
80 many advantages to IT'S members
as this.
The Order OF the PATRONS OF HES
BAADRY will accomplish thorough
aud systematic organization among
Farmers and Hortlcui,urists through
out the United States, aud will sc.
cure among them intimate social re.
lations anu acquaintance with each
other, tor the advancement and ele- \
yation OF their pursuits, with an ap-
preclation AMI protection OF their
true interests. BY such means may
be accomplished that which exists
throughout the country in all other
avocations, aud among ali other
classes-combined cooperative association
for mdiridual improvement and common
benefit.
In the meetings of this Order, all
but members are excluded, aud there
is in its proceedings symbolized
ritual; pleasing, beautiful, and appro-
pirate, which is designed not only to
charm the fancy, but to cultivate and
enlarge the mind AID purify the
heart, having At the same time, strict
adaptation to rural pursuits.
It is an Order in which all persons
will find innocent recreation and val
liable instruction. pecuniary profit
and mutual protection. 1t is, in truth,
a need long felt. and now required.
The secrecy OF tho ritual, and pro.
ceedings OF the Order have been
adopted, chiefly, tor the purpose OF
accomplishing desired efficiency, ex-
tension aud unity, and to secure
among its members in the internal
working OF the Order, confidence,
harmony and security.
Among other advantages which
may be derived from the Order, can
be mentioned, Systematic arrange
x,ents for procuring aud disseminat-
ing. in the most expeditions manner,
information relative to crops, de-
maud aud supply, prises, markets,
aud transportation throughout the
country, and for the establishment Of
depots tor tho sale o! special or gen.
eral products in the cities; also for
the purchase and exchange OF stock,
sec,ls, aud desired varieties Of plants
and trees, and for the purpose Of
procuring help at home or from
al, oad, and situations tor persons
seeking employment; also for ascer-
tain,ng aud testing the merits Of
newly invented farming implements,
and those not in general use, and tor
detecting and exposing those that arc
unworthy, and tor protsetixg, By all
assilabh sseaxs, to farssiaS istsrssts
freM frasd aud deception Of every kixd.
In conclusion we desire that agri.
cultural societies shall keep step with
the music OF the age, and keep pace
with improvements in the reaping ma.
chine aud steam engine. In this Or.
der We expect to accomplish these
results. Every Grange is in intimate
relation with its neighboring Oranges,
and these with the State Grange, and
the state Oranges are in anity with
the National Grange. Valuable in-
formation AMI benefits enjoyed BY
one, are communicated TO all. The
old style OF Farmers Clubs, like tho
old sickle ana fail, wee very good
in their day, but they are Of the past,
and are LOO lar behind all other en-.
terprise in the progress Of civilization.
Hence the necessity OF this new
Order.
