J. N. D. Of Weodville Grange, Wa,,ee
county, writes: "Our Grsag. is sroviass
nicely. We have added ten new member,
this winter. aud there ere more eoniaR.
Hope to send you . larger club for your pa-
per next year." Glad to hear 20 good
report from Weodvills. The Patrons Of
"ssees county are, evidently. doing good
work. Hope to hear from woodville oltsa.
We thank our Berlin correspondent Tor
her letter on flower culture are elad t>
give it place. Our columns arc slvave
open for the ladies, and We deem few sub-
jeots moro important than the cultivation
ofaowers. Flowers are the expressions of
tenderness and love, Of "all that is brieht
and beautiful in nature all of which our
farmers, BY their hard, unremittine toll
have crowded to too great an extent out of
their lives.
s. P. G. Of Renville county writes: "At
q meeting of our Grange recently, q breth-
er made motion to appoint an Assistant
Secretary, which WAS ruled out of onder.
on the ground that We have no power t,
create new Office. Please give us your
opinion ?" We doubt the power Of sub
ordinate Grange to create new Office, but
the Grange, if they think it necessary, can
oersainly appoint person to assist tho
Secretary in his duties.
A. G. 8. Of Hennepin county writes:
i" Your paper beats my expectations for
spice, pluck aud power" Thank you.
Your name is added to our list.
r. s. 8. Your paper has been ch.nsea
rs directed. Can you not send us . club
from among your neiglbors in your new
home.
G. P. G. asks what shall be done with 4
Master for communicating oil the higher
degrees, secretly in the woods, to . member
Of the first degree? We answer nothinr at
oil. unless he makes it . practice. The
Order Of Patrons Of Husbandry VA ornsa-
lied for the accomplishment Of a1bl,
work and there is no time for strife abeua
teehnicalities. And there are cases wher>
the communicating Of the degrees may be
permitted. At the same time, & Maetiart.
who has the good Of the Order st hea9eAa,iH
do nothing to detract from the interest Of
the Grange meeting, or that will weakan
the influence Of the teachings Of the 0rd,ik
on members. We hold it to be very III, ia,,. T.
tant for every member, where it is prac4i-
cable, to be initisted in due form with tho
full ceremonies. The manual is full Of no.
bic and most beautiful lessons, and it ia q
wrong to the candidate to deprive him, Of
the benefit thereof; and it is due to The
Grange. that the beautiful thoughts:she
be repeated in full Grange upon tho ooos-
sion Of each initiation; and while we cor
tainly should not advise the doing Of any,
thing that might result in disoord, on &C.
count Of one such offence, We think Master,
should be very careful to do nothing to in
jure the harmony as to destroy the interest
of his GRANGE. OF course constant no~,..+
Of duty can be reached by removal from
office.
G. c. asks with regard to the cattle law.
AS we understand the law, it now stands
the same with regard to cattle doing dan .
age either by day or night, as it did with
regard to cattle doing damages in the night
time. That is cattle may be destrained for
damage done at any time, or suit nav be
brought against the owner of the cattle for
such damage. Any trespass upon lands
would entitle the owner of the lands to
nominal damages.
P. H. inquiries with regard to the pros-
poets of higher price for wheat. This is
very difficult question to answer. Some
papers who wish to get great credit for
their wisdom, and are always ready to give
advice, have rushed before their readers
with premature statements as to the GER
tainty of the decline Of wheat and advised
them to SELL
