Patrons Of Husbandry.
A representative of the. Times had
tie pleasurs at the Ohio State Fair
last week, q making the ncquaintancc
of leading members Of The farmers
secret organization, and learned more
Of it's true character than is generally
known by the public. The result is,
we are more than ever impressed with
the. prospective usefulness of the or
der. We say prospective, because the
organization is yet in its infancy, and
only learning how to do the work be-
fore it. .sw - :, -
The idea that it is designed to revo-
lutionize the politics Of the country,
in any other way than by educating
the yeomanry Of the land to saving
knowledge of their indispensable I'M
portance in the affairs of the world,
is a great mistake. The simple OBJ
jects of the Order are: st,sSecial i'm
provement, combined with rational
enjoyment; I'd, Intellectual culture
and training; Sd, The development Of
such business habits and relations as
will secure to farmers the full reward
Of their toll, and supply their wants,
such as farm implements, machinery,
etc, without being compelled to pay
non producing agents. double the first
price of all such articles.
This latter feature of the organiza-
ton is, as yet, but little more than ex-
detrimental. Still, in Illinois, Iowa,
and Kansas where Oranges are the
oldest and most numerous, very pro-
| missing practical results have been
| achieved. ~ ago ~
The Master of order in Ohio, Mr..
S. H. Ellis, Of Springboro, Warren
county, we found to be plain, prac-
teal farmer, of about forty five years
of age, Of more than ordinary intelli-
gence and cultivation. His manner
is simple and unostentatious, but i'm
presses one with his sincerity and
earnestness of purpose.
Mr.. d. NJ. Stewart, of Xenia, the
Secretary Of the State Grange, is !.
man of similar character, perhaps a

question as to eligibility to member

{ Without adopting any imperative raIs

tons Of the Master. Mr. Dewitt, G
