SOME RESULTS OF THE GRANGEs.-A
correspondent who has been out among
the farmers Of Iowa, in which state there
are 1850 oranges, with total member
ship Of 1877 800, one.fourth of whom are
women and young men, says that one OF
the greatest direct benefits Of the order is
in the greater and growing sociabIity Of
the members. Iowa farmers were just
the same isolated, unpublished. unsccial
beings that you find in any Of the other
states. The oranges have dragged them
forth from their secusiou aud rubbed
them together, just what they wanted to
shake them out Of the ruts, and now they
are beginning to understand each other
better and to take broader and more in
telligent views of men and things Their
cooperative system Of buying farming
implements and other necessities has also
been highly beneficial financially. The
wholesale dealers of the large cities at
first snubbed the state agents, to whom
extensive transactions are entrusted, re.
fusing to sell to them because it would
hurt their country custom" But the
scales fell from their eyes and now they
solicit orders and offer special induce
ments to grange agents, AS a result they
get sewing machines that are priced at
$50 for $50, and others that the makers
ask sos, for the grange price is $751; A
corresponding reduction is made in all
sorts of machinery

improve it. Upon this he clinched me,
called me an old scamp and hurled me to
the ground with such force, as to jar me,
