Arms & Haines, Of Waterbury, write to
the Burlington Free Press that they can
prove that the Patrons of that place have
lost an average Of % cents barrel on their
purchases of -four, and offer to furnish as
good flour as theirs for $685. by the car
load or $3.50 retail. They further state
that there has not been time for the last
six months when they would not have been
glad to furnish the Patrons with -four for
20 cents barrel less than they have paid
for it. They say they have sold 80 barrels
of apples to Patron for $3.50 per barrel.
We don't think any candid man will claim
that these apples could have been bought
from Arms 4 Haines for $3.50 per barrel II

We refer tho special champions Of Early
Rose potatoes at 81 per pound, as well as
those who in reply to the statement that
there are other potatoes as good as the Rose
for table use answer that the popular voice,
as shown in the market price, pronounces the
Rose the best, to the quotations of potatoes
as given by Mr.. Hibbard in our Boston mar.
ket report. The old "run out" jackson
White commands fully FIVE cents per bushel
the most, and the Rose, which have been
specially recommended for their immunity
from disease, "arc not coming in very good
order" In this connection we again venture
the statement that we prefer the Early Y ork,
or Stevens potato if such it is, to the Rose
as an early potato, and the Jackson the rest
of the year, even though these varieties may
never have been sold at 81 per pound to
give fortunes to few spectators at the ex.
ponse of many farmers. Further, we do not
think that ten years from now the Early
Rose will be among the leading varieties in
market.

When it was known that Il. h. Morgan's
Sons, to whom the Patrons of California had
entrusted the shipping Of their grain, had
failed, there was general exulting and re-
jolcing among those opposed to the order.
But it soon trapspired that the Patrons
we're entirely safe, and would not lose a cent.
Then came the report that the treasurer
Of the State Grange Of Missouri was a de-
faulter to the tune Of about a couple of
thousand dollars, and of course more reoic-
ing on the part of the anti.grangers. But it
turns out that here again the Patrons were
secure The following from tho St. Louis
EUening Dispatch tells the story.
At tho recent meeting of the State Grange
Mt Kansas City, MIR. glastonbury was called
upon Tor the whole sum in the treasury,
$1,000 1t being wanted to invest in n man
uiactory. 1t then came out that glastonbury
hnd invested the funds of the Grange in va
rious ways, and that they could not be real
lied Mt once. lie raised 1000 in cash. and
has since given to the Executive Board of
the Grange deeds of trust on two farms, said
to be worth $4,000, and an executed bond
on personal security, which have been ac-
oepted by the board, and has agreed to pay
the whole amount by next July. Quiscnbu-
RVS friends do not believe that he intended
to defraud the Grange, but think he simply
acted injudciousy in using its funds. Be-
sides the two farms, glastonbury has herd
of thoroughbred cattle, worth over 800, 600
and it is not believed that there is any dan
ger OF the grangcrs losing anything.

we hope those who desire to see this delic-
ious and wholesome food more plenty will
consider it personal matter and use every
effort to have the laws enforced. The eff.
forts Of individuals to cultivate fish in pri-

good work of stocking our public waters with

A few weeks ago the Caledonian accused
us of lying We asked him to specify, but
he did not, and we claim the reason was
that some one else had been doing the lying,
and he could not find any lies that we're
chargeable to the FARMER. He has found,
however, after the Monitor pointed out the
fact to him, that we made a mistake in re-
gard to the Oddfellows' block (Which mistake
was copied from and credited to Mr.. Gales
record) and consoles himself by printing
nearly column of extracts from the Moai-
tor. We acknowledge that We made a mis-
take there, but We assert thst the Gale.
domains charge Of falsehood was falsehood
itself, aud defy him to bring forward an
instance to support his charge.

WHAT COOPERATION HAS DONE.

The fact that the Patrons and Sovereigns
have been the means of bringing goods of
almost all kinds to lower level in st. Johns
bury is evidence that the same may be done
in other places. This is the case in proba-
bly, dozens of instances that we never hear
Of for one which is reported. The statement
Of the -four trade at Waterbury, for instance
And even there the anti.grange party have
been falsely claiming victory, as shown by
the item which we copied two weeks ago
from one of our state exchanges. That
item, stating that the Patrons were paying
% cents per barrel more for the same brand
of flour than others paid at the store has
travelled the round of the state papers as
choice morsel, but the true statement, from
prominent and reliable man, which we gave
last week, being in favor of the Patrons, has
entirely escaped the notice of those papers.
For the information of all Patrons and
Sovereigus, and others interested, we will
give the prices at which the council in this
place are getting few articles in the gro
