The social feature Of the Grange
| is one Of its best elements Of sue
cess. Farmers wives and daugh-
ters have too little opportunity to
visit their neighbors. The social
enioyments are swallowed up in the
drudgery of the kitchen, dairy, gar
den and nursery. Their daily lives
are too much like the treadmill rou-
tine. In the monthly meetings Of
the Grange, while they lend a sane
tifying influence, they are revived in
spirits, instructed by an exchange Of
opinions about household duties, the
changes in fashions, as well as the
best means of turning the products
Of the dairy, the e-gs, chickens, or
other surplus, to the best account for
pin money. They can do good in
the Grange, and whenever they are
useful, there is the place for women.
In the past three years in the Grange
we have seen women awakened to a
new life. Where sadness and in.
difference were visible in every line
ament, life, energy and vivacity
have sprung up anew, tightening her
labors, making her more cheerful in
her family, and reminding her hus'
band Of former days. The women
90 to the grange monthly, and there
meet and talk with friends and neigh
bors, that otherwise they would not
meet for the entire winter. There
they discuss the questions ofthe best
magazines, agricultural papers, and
the new books that have come into
the neighborhood. There they learn
of the cases of sickness or want
either in or out Of the Grange, and
take steps to provide for such cases.
There they learn the character OF the
young ladies or young mon who
have come into the neigborhood,
with whom their sons and daughters
may fall in company. They 60 to
the Grange to get rid Of their low
spirits, their lonesomeness, and to
satisfy their longings after society
and congenial spirits. Let the wo-
men come. They are needed where
ever they can do us or themselves
good. They are needed in the
Grange to keep up its interest when
all other sources fail. They give it
dignity and character. They puri-
fy its atmosphere, and refine all its
deliberations. Without them the
harvest feasts would choke in our
throats, and no one would look for.
ward with intereat to the next
monthly meeting, without those who
always cheer our pathway. And
those Oranges that meet only eve
nings, at country school houses, are
losing nearly all tho delightful So
| cial features of the Patrons. Come
to the Grange, ladies, and talk
about what you please. Wear your
best calico, and be relieved for
few hours from the drudgery Of the
house and family, and you will feel
for the month o renewed pleasure
in life, and your duties will be re-
lieved of half their burdens.-Stdte

Twelve months ago the farmers
all over Iowa were plethoric with
corn. They burned it-threw it
carelessly and extravagantly to hogs
and cattle-let it rot down in their
cribs for want of covering-and
sold it for less than fair price for
hauling to market. They appeared
to be disguised at the sight of their
well.illed cribs, and INDUCED in
wanton waste. This is not fancy
or figuratlve, but it was the spirit
and practice in all the neighbor-
hoods. And this was done with an
article of produce that can be east
" and safely kept for dozen years.
A crop of potatoes, beans, and even
wheat cannot always be safely kept
over. They are perishable, or dam
age seriously with age. But corn
in the ear, in a dry crib will keep
twice as long as cord wood, well
protected. In the cattle and hog
region it is the farmers great sta

discreet husbandmen, we'll filled
cribs are equal to at least money in
the bank.
But what is the situation now?
Within the past week the writer
has sold at least twenty wagon
loads of corn to farmers who had
come with teams sixty to one hun
dred miles, requiring from four to
six days, to obtain food to sustain
their horses while raising another
crop. And they were not from the
grasshopper region, nor from where
any other particular calamity had
cut off the crops. They were from
localities whore reckless waste has
brought on this condition; from
where they follow the letter and
not the spirit Of the iljunctio.-,

a Baixy Horse.

There are two'ways of managing
balky horse. My companion
knew one of them and l the other.
His method is to sit quietly in the
wagon, and at short intervals throw
a small pebble at the horse. The
theory is that these repeated sud-
den annoyances will operate on a
horses mind, and he will try to es-
cape them by going on. The spec
tators Supplied my friend with
stones, and he pcltcd the horse
with measured gentlcness. Prob
ably the horse understood this
method, for he did not notice the
attack at all. My plan was to
speak gently to the horse, request.

little respite for ten miles, up hill OF

Snaall Truits.

It is astonishing how very little
attention our farmers give to tho
cultivation Of small fruits, when
they are SO valuable to the use OF
the family. 1t requires but little
attention to have a good supply of
grapes, strawberries, gocseberries,
currants, ect., and each Of these in
their season are of great value to
the health and pleasure of the fami-
ly. Give this subject more atten.
ton, and our word for it, you will
regard the advice both profitable
and good.

This is easily done. See that
they have good place to dust them

Temporarily falling, as member Of
the Christian church, in securing the

literally himself but induced his
friends to do likewise to secure the To-
cation Of Austin college here. He did
much TO accomplish tho result, not
withstanding he is yet ardent and
hopeful in behalf of establishing col
