We want report from every Grange

yield Of wheat and other small grains
in the section Of the State where the
Oranges are located. Also, give the
quality of the grains.
We hope this request will be needed

the Oranges Immediately upon the re-
ceipt of sufficient number from
which to estimate the probable yield
Of the State
We are requested To send to Oranges
the prices Of agricultural machinery

copies of circulars issued in March last
are exhausted. A meeting of the Ex-

of this month, when new circular
will be issued in regard to the prices
Of machinery and the shipment of
grain, &C., which will give instruc-
tions better adapted to the present
| season.
Until the State Grange can perfect a
list such as is desired by the Oranges
for themselves, or through the Dis
trict or County Associations, should
make the best arrangements possible.

Sheep and Wool.

The high price of mutton has elected
universal comment, but the advance, pres
ent and prospective, in wool, has been
taken as a matter of course; and yet the
price paid for live sheep has been nearly
in ratio to the value of the fleece they car
ried. The present price of wool is in
consequence of the diminution of flocks,
on account of the depressed state of the
markets for the last few years. Last year
wool ruled low, and many farmers, fear
ing that the bottom had dropped out of
wool, diminished their fiocks, or got rid
of them altogether. Wool is now high,
and the same class of men are now as anX-
ious to again engage in this industry, as
they were before to get out of it. There
is no doubt but as permanent stock, one
year with another, in all localities favor
able to their well being, that wool and
mutton must always be a profitable one
They pay in the fleece and carcase both,
but to be successful in any industry, and
especially that of agriculture, one must
not become disguised because of occa-
sional depressions in the branch of bust
ness chosen.
Corn is low this season. 1t was so last
Two large crops have filled the cribs of
the country, but it would not for that
reason be policy for the farmer raising
corn to neglect his coming crop. Wheat
is high, especially the prime grades of
white wheat. 1t will go higher, and if
the fears of light crop of winter wheat
this season should be fulfilled, prime
grades of these fiours would be beyond
the reach of the. masses, This would,
however, be no reason for them to enter
upon the cultivation of white winter
wheat, nor even winter wheat at all, since
its successful growth can only be accom-
plished in certain localities and under
certain conditions.
So with wool, where the facilities
for keeping sheep are good, and grasses
suitable to them are found, there is no
stock that will pay better, one year with
another; but to be successful in this as in
any other branch of agriculture, one
must not change with every fluctuation
in the market. We hear of offerings for
the clip at the shearing yards at the West
at 75c. In New York mixed fleeces are
quoted at 7Sc. At the great quarterly
sales of colonial wool in London no de-
cline was experienced worthy of note,
and the market was firm. This seasons
clip in the United States will not be large,
and as high as wool now is, we think
there is bright future for those who
have healthy fiocks to Western

Heart Disease.

THE tendency of modern investigation
into the influence of civilization on
longevity seems to show a two-fold series
of agencies at work. On the one hand,
sanitary improvements and the lessened
mortality from epidemies undoubtedly
tend to diminish the average DEATH rate; /;
but on the other hand, there is practically
much less improvement in total death
rates than might be expected, if these
ameliorating causes were not counter
balanced by the increasing fatality of
other classes of disease, such as diseases
of the brain and heart. 1t is important
to recognize the precise facts. The
excess may probably to some extent be
regarded as an unavoidable result of the
great mental strain and hurried excite
ment of these times, in which steam and
electricity mark time for us, in an over
crowded community, where competition
is carried to the highest point, and where
the struggle for existence, not to say for
intellectual and other distinction, is car
ried on with sleepless and eXhausting
energy. But an evil recognized is some
times half cured, and the intellectual
classes, looking at figures such as those
which DR.. Quain has displayed at his
interesting Lumleian lectures at the Col
lege of Physicians, on diseases of the
walls of the heart, may well consider the
propriety of attending to the hygiene of
their lives, as well as of their houses; and
to remember that, to enjoy and benefit by
even pure air, soil and water, they must
avoid disabling heart and brain by the
incessant labors which too often make
useful lives joyless, and embitter the
harvesting of the crop which has been
but too diligently sown. These warning
figures tell that, during the last twenty
years, the total deaths of males at all ages
from heart disease has increased in num-
ber from 5,746 in 1851, to IL, in 1870.
| The percentage of deaths from heart
disease for 1000 of population living was
755 between the years 1851 and 1855; il
has risen to LOSS from 1866 to 1870
This increase, it must be observed too,
has taken place wholly in connection
with the working years of active social
life. There is no change in the percen
tage of deaths from this cause, in males
under 25 years of age. Between 90 and
As years of age, it has risen from .553 tC
7O9, and that almost exclusively in
males, for there is almost no increase in
the percentage of females dying from
heart-disease during the twenty years
of life from 81 to A. These figures can
vey their own lesson, and warn us to
take little more care, not to kill our
selves for the sake of living.-BritiSh ana

JUST TAKEN HIS BTTTERs.-We heard a
seedy-looking individual with an alarm
ingly red nose remark to a brother soaker
that he had "just had his bitters, but he
did not mind taking another nip" His
remark suggested train of reflection.
How was it, we asked ourselves, that the
word ''bitters" had grown to be synonym
for gin, whisky. rum and other alcoholic
stimulants, to which it was applied indis-
criminately Bitters, we reasoned, sug-
gested the idea of healthful tonic, not
of a poisonous stimulant; something in
vigorating to the system, not an alcoholic
irritant, full of fusel oil, producing pres
ent intoxication and ultimate insanity,
idiocy, or premature death. Moreover,
our idea of bitters was totally irreconcila-
BILE with "gin cocktails" 'Ium punches"
and "brandy smashes, i" which, we are in
formed, are sweetened with sugar, and
rendered doubly injurious with essences
colored by means of mineral poison. This
was bitter-sweet with a vengeance We
mentioned this problem to friend. He
solved it by eXclaiming: "Why, don't
you know that most OF these bitters ad-
vertised as remedies are only drains in
disguise? Topers know it, if you do not.
/ must make one exception, however" he
