Grangers' Cooperation In California.


At the late me citing of the State
Grange, representing 10000 California
farmers, efforts we're made to lay the
foundation for an extensive system of
cooperation In selling and storing grain,
purchasing supplies and borrowing
money. By combined action, they
could doubtless sell dearer and buy
cheaper than they have done hereto
fore, but there is much difference Of
opinion among them in regard 10 the
policy to be pursued. WIny are afraid
to intrust their money and grain to men
who have had no experience in anything
save srming, and they argue that their
association should restrict itself to so
cial purposes at first, and go very eau.
fiously into business, advancing slowly
under the encouragement OF success.
Generally the granges have as yet not
made any pecuniary ventures. but in
many cases the individual members
have associated themselves 20 provide
warehouses and make contracts Of dif-
ferent kinds for the benefit Of their
class. The oranges are strongly i'm
pressed with the importance Of cooper
alton, and are confident Of their ability

grange recommends the establishment
of farmers bank in every agricultural
county, with q warehouse attached for
storing grain. and Of q state bank with
capital of s, 900, 600.

Logging in the RedwOOds.

The choppers, especially, must be men
of intelligence and experience. A great
deal more than mere strength to swing
the AK for eleven hours day is required
to make a good chopper. After the tree
is selected the ground needs careful
looking after, as a stump or fallen tree,
or any inequality of the earth, would, rs
a gentleman OF the profession remarked,
Knock the biggest on 'em into smith
Green's" 1t is peculiarly of redwood
to split into long and profitless thin strips
upon small provocation, and the mex
perienced eye, glancing over the ground
that bristles with all sorts of obstacles,
sees little hope OF any tree escaping de-
struction. And it is only the extreme
skill of the choppers that makes the dis
aster uncommon, They can drive
stake with the biggest tree in the forest
when the ground is clear When there
is not sufficient opening in a direct line,
a common eXpedient is to fell the tree SO
that it will strike, in its descent, the
trunk OF another. Calculating the bounce
well marks an accomplished chopper.
Telling u seven or eight foot tree is
half days work for three men. The
choppes stand some six or eight feet
from .he ground, each on narrow bit of
board, one end Of which is thrustinto u
notch in the bark, and this unsteady
footing is all they have, while they hack
away with their long axes hour after
hour. When a ten or fifteen footer is en-.
countered, a platform of bark, with the
standing boards for support, is built, and
an extra chopper put on. Two cuts are
made in the tree, that on the side ON
which the monster is to fall being much
larger and somewhat lower than the one
on the other side. Thus the weight of
the tree is made to serve for its own
overthrow. 1t is tremendously hard
work, and wears the strongest man out
in from three to four years.
When the tree begins to complain"
as the shrill, vibrating, cracking noise is
aptly called, the choppers give long,
warning wall, that sends all the work
men in the ncghborhood scampcring to
safe distance. A second cry tells that
the tree is wavering, and the choppers
themselves leap from their perches and
run for it. The giant yields slowly and
with mighty grumbling. Then, in spite
of himself, he leans over painfully, and
with frightsome booming and crack
foliage whistlng and screaming like the
rigging of ship in hurricane. The
shock is terrific, and resembles nothing
SO much AS an earthquake. Clouds of
dust, mingled with flying fragments, are
thrown into the air. Every branch is
snapped off and broken to splinters. The
thud is heard and felt miles away.--Oak-
