Two KINDS OF INDUsTRY.-I have
known two kinds of industrious farmers.
I do not include the sluggish and neg
ligent. But of the real hard workers
there are two distinct classes. They
both rise at dawn and work after dark,
md are worthy of success; but one class
fails for want Of proper thought and
management. These will put their eneT-
gieg into one piece of work, and neglect
other things which need them more.
/ knew one man who was sointent on
finishing d piece of board fence that he
worked hard at it at the very time that
the weeds in his root crop grew from
inch high to- ten inches, Increasing
the labor of cleaning out at least ten
fold, and reducing his crnp about one
half. Another buys cDatly tools and let's
them rust and rot in the fields because
lie Is ID busy with something else, al
though the labor OF housing would be a
mere nothing. Another builds q costly
barn, and useS up his means for maTilr-
inc, c~ultigating and draining, when
cheaper buildings would have answered.
Another works vet field year gfter year
nt great cost and ilieOnyeniencR, and
with small results, because he Isl too
alasy to- underdrain III. He does eYery-
thing at disadvantage.
V6Iy different is the course of the good
manager. He looks At his W0rk-has Il
mapped ont before Observation-Disclosures
rately the labor to accomplish each job,
and the time when it should be done to
prevent loss, and then gees on s~gstenqat-
ieallys ZIG does not require great genius
To do this but common sense, and for
the farmer To keep bis wits al1Dut him.
This il whit makes n man ufanfinaI and
anccessful.ICDr, Country Gentleman.

RAroN RoreE ~, Mareh 27th, IL

BAToS RoUGE La, March 9th, 1874.
Editor of the Rake.-Iny your last issue,
appeared a communication from Broth.
er Evans of Social Grange, as a COM
mittee of one from said Grange, in re-
ference to the doings of New Orleans
Grange, and our deputy, Brother Dem
nett; and asking communications touch
ing these matters, either through the
Rake OF to him personally. Asthe Mas
ter OF Baton Rouge Grange 18, | respond.
There can be nosquestiOn that Brother
bennett has misunderstood his instruc-
tions-misapprehended the trtle spirit
and objects of the Patrons of Husban-
dry and as Deputy is Incorporating in
totlle Order improper material. Noper-
son but he who is practically engaged
in agriculture, and having no other in
teTcst antagonistic to 1t, and his wife
and daughters, are eligible as members.
Such are the instructions which we re-
ceived from Master Lewis when he or
ganized our Grange-and it is feasOnble
to conclude that lie gave in substance
similar Instructions to all the Oranges he
organized. That some of his Deputies
from over zeal or misrepresentation may
err IL natural but it is. certain that Mas
ter Lewis will Tectify the wrong or pre-
vent its further preparation as soon as
he Is informed and has time to act.
While, therefore, / think it the duty of
the Oranges to notice any errors that
may be made andto oppose them strenu-
Ously, yet 1 doubt the propriety of the
caustic eensure publicly made in the col
ufpns OF The Rake. It is rather the du-
tyof the Grange ndindividual members
who may happen to learn OF these inn
proper acts to notify the Master person
ally or by letter, and have them correct
81 within ouTselyes7and not pirate them
detliment of our Order. "a house di-
vided against itself must fall
T4et us be united, discard all prejudice
and passion, andin d true fraternal spirit
adnionish, reproYe and coITectthe errors
Of each other.
Truly and Fraternally,

Proceedings Of the National
Grange

Ne find that the action of the Boston
Grunge in refusing to surrender its dis
~pensation and u limit quietly to the rul-
ings of our head until this meeting of
the National Grange, when they could
have applied FOR redress by appeal from
the action of Worthy Master Adams, has
been very demoralizing and injurious to
the interests of our order throughout the
entire west and south, and the good of
the order i~mperatively requires that such
INSTRUMENTATION and peTsistentresistance
to authority must be checked. Impress
ed as we are with the necessity that -ex-
istsfor us as IN order to adhere and teach
q strict observance OF the obligation
which requires us to obey all lawful
edicts emanatiDg from proper authority
and without calling into requisitiOn at
all the integrity, moral worth or friend
ly feelings which the persons who form
cd the Boston Grange may have for the
principles or success and prosperity of
our order, we find that this grange was
not and is not now composed of the ma
terial declared by our order to be eligi-
| BILE to membership. We find they have
| been derelict in not obeying the require
ment OF our Worthy Master when he de-
manded II surrender of the dispensation
under which they were working; that
they are still ACTING IN DEFIANCE of the
authority which commanded them to
| stop, and by such characterization they
have forfeited all right to be considered
Patrons OF Husbandry in gOodand regu-
Lar standing. We therefore recommend
that the secretary Of the National Grange
be hereby instructed to notify all the
State Oranges within our jurisdiction
that the Boston Grange is no longer con-
nected with the Patrons of Husbandry,
and henceforth 10 fraternal recognition
can be extended to it by any Grange,
State on subordinate, and the master of
the Massachusetts State Grange is here
by required to make q formal demand
for the surrender of the dispensation
and rituals OF the Boston Grange !, and
when received return to said Grange,
the money paid for said dispensation
and rituals and return them without de-
lay to the office of the secretary of the
National Grange at Washington.
All of which is respectfully submitted,
