Settling the Question.

One Of tho Oranges OF the Patrons OF
Hushandry, in Iowa, is undertaking the
work Of reform by adopting the follow.
ing preamble and resolution:
Wherads, One Of the most serious
causes Of complaint me farmer has is
the Interpretations presented to him
in advertisements; therefore,
RcsolrtJ, That We as Grange will give
our support and influence to such news
papcrs and periodicals rs will admit no
advertisements to their columns, unless
satisfied Of the good character Of the
advertiser, and his ability to perform all
ho may promise.
We recognize the right Of any man or
class Of men to adopt and act npon such
resolution MS that given above, says
MOor,I Rural Mr H0rlrr. But the
paper which attempts the task of meet
ing the ideas OF such men will have n
good time of it. Suppose, for example,
Mr.. j. A. Freeman, the Secretary Of the
Grunge adopting tho foregoing resolu.
ton, should send us an advertisement OF
Chester White pigs, or Brahma fowls.
We do not know Mr.. j. 4. Freeman
never heard Of him before; don't know
whether he has got pig, or fowl, nor
whether he knows a Chester White from
Berkshire, or Brahma from Bantam.
II we were to attempt to please the
patrons he represents, We should be com
peeled to write To some one of them for
information; and even then, not know.
ing any Of them, we would not know
whether their information was correct
or not. Our only alternative would be
to send an agent, in whom We could
trust, to Iowa to see il Mr.. ]. A. Free
man really owned a pig or fowl, and
was able to supply tie demand that
might be made upon him in case we in.
serted his advertisement, Then We
should have to investigate his character
also. Meantime poor Freeman is wait
ing for lis to insert his advertisement
and those who desire TO purchase pig
or fowls may have purchased elsewhere.
This is fair sample Of what these
Patrons OF Husbandry land Of news
papers2) require publishers to do in
order that they, in their stupidity, may
he protected. In other words, they dc
not desire to make the effort or exercise
the judgment or discretion common
among good business men, but require
newspaper publishers to shoulder Tho
burden OF protecting them. Then sup
pose that the agen. we send ont to SCI
the pigs reports favorahly, we insert
Mr.. Freeman's advertisement JimJ one'
seuds for n pig, is disappointed in 1t
and writeshs blowing us up because on
agents and Jim Jones Judgment differs
Then Of course he, as IN honest patron
drops gur paper ut once! Hadn't thest

the dishonesty there is in this benighted
world.

ANIMALS IN CALFoRSA.-l found

farmers here, says California Valley
correspondent, that they can pasture
horses and cattle on the public and rail

food from the pastures. Even working
