An Abiding Principle Of the Grange

One of the most beautiful features
in the grange is the fellowship and
brotherly feeling that it develops
among its members.
1t strengthens the bond of friend
ship and brings ncighbors and farmers
generally into close bonds of union,
which results in mutual profit and i'm
provement. Anything that tends 10
foster charity or sympathetical kind
ness. and brighten the mystic chains
that bind heart TO heart, is blessing
Prominent among the objects of the
Patrons Of Husbandry is the develop
ment and cultivation of fraternal har-
mony. Its platform inculcates the
doctrine of charity, in these words:
Ii shall be an abiding principle with
us TO relieve any of our oppressed and
suffering brotherhood, by any means
at our command.
The grange while cultivating the
virtues. dispensing charity. and
strengthening the bonds of good fell
low ship among its members, wages no
warfare against any other interest
whatever; but, on the contrary. as de-
clared at ST. Louis. all its acts and eff
forts as far as business is concerned.
are not only for the benefit of produc-
ore aud oa,cu,nore lint sale, e, o,,s.
interests that tend to bring these par
ties into speedy and economical con-
tact
Let the Patrons of Husbandry abide
by all the great principles enunciated
at ST. Louis. and the order will con.
time to grow until it spreads over the
whole country and takes in every
farmer.-O6verrrr.

The Composition Of the State
Oranges.

The following circular was recently
issued by Grand Master Adams and
the executive Committee of the Ma
tional Grange:
ITO STATE GRANGEs:-In many of
the states the number of members of
the State Grange is so great that for
all to meet would not only form a
body So large as 10 render proper tran
saction of business impossible, but en-
pensc. The Masters of many State
Oranges have inquired by what means
such calamity may be lawfully
averted.
The National Grange having adopt
ed the following resolution, viz !:
1.-The National Grange recognizes the
right Of State Oranges to have the leg
islatiye department of their body vest
ed in representatives elected by Mas
tiers of Oranges in the various coun-
ties" we are of the opinion that, rs
the Masters and Executive Committee
of State Grange have power to do all
acts for the good ofthe Order, between
the meetings of the State Grange, they
would be justified and have lawful au-
thority to issue an order TO the men,
bcrs of the State Grange fixing the ra-
ito of representation, and appointing
the time and place at which they shall
meet and elect representatives to the
legislative department of the State
Grange
The Wichita city eagle. [volume] (Wichita, Kan.) 1872-1883, 1874-11-05

The Patrons have no war with mid
dlemen, whether they be merchants or
carriers; but they recognize the fact
that dishonest men have taken advan-
tage of these positions TO de.raud
them, and that honest men have charg-
ed them quite as large profits, quite as
numerous commissions and quite as
high freights as it was possible to col
lect fr"m them. They wish to see if,
by little foresight and cooperation
on their part, they cannot contrive to
save part of these numerous COM
missions, reduce those exorbitant
freights, and to withdraw themselves
from the clutch of thieves, and, with
all, TO substitute substantial and well
made goods for shoddy. That is ALL
Patrons Helper.

Recipes for making farmers bov.
love to stay at home in the evenings
l. Treat them as partners with YOU
Give them to understand that they arc
interested in the success of the farm
ing operations as much as YOU are
yourself
2. Converse freely with them. Get
their opinions, aud give them yours
if at all prudent. make use of ,heir
plans, and when you think your own
best, explain to them why you do not
adopt theirs. Don't keep them alto
gether in the dark with reference to
your plans for the future.
3. Don't require them to STAY at
home in the evenings all the time.
When there is any meeting or enter
tainments from which they might re-
ceivc benefit, be sure to let them go.
4. Provide them with plenty of good
books and papers, especially referring
to agriculture. Let them be well post
ed in their own misunderstanding.
.. Never scold them because they
don't do their work or attend to the
business of the farm as well az YOU do.
Encourage them.
6. Give them holiday now and
then. They look for it. and they need
it: and it will be better for YOU and
them to let them have it.
Z. A little rational amusement now
and then, such as croquet, wicket.
sail, and swim, will give variety,
health and contentment.

How Farmers Help Themselves
Through Organization.

The great triumph of the granger.
IN California, at least, promises to bt
in the direct line of business. In thi.
direction they have already helped
each other, in the aggregate, many
millions of dollars, though it is little
over year since the organization OF
the order was perfected by the estab.
lishmcni of the state grange We
think 100000 would be low esti.
mate of the financial benefits already
realized by the farmers of the state,
through the direct instrumentality of
the order; and when we look into the
future for benefits, the plans for secur-
ing which are already being arranged
and perfected, words and figures will
hardly express what may reasonably
be anticipated.
The time will soon come when the
grangers will control, through a sys-
TEN of grange banks, the largest
amount Of the money of the state, and
direct its employment in the building
up of large circle Of material indus
tries heretofore almost entirely neg
lected. The great number of ware
houses going up this year, and the ra-
pidity with which they are being fill
ed, show that the farmers are helping
each other in a way that staggers those
who heretofore made immense for
tunes off the necessities of this now
vigorous class.
The fruit-drying establishments be-
ing erected and operated all over the
state, show that the order is assisting
the fruit growers rs well as the wheat
producers.
The cheese factories will be next in
order, and the dairy interest will be
assisted and encouraged and so with
all other specialties in the agricultural
field.
One million people in n country like
the United States, engaged in the Gull
tivation of the soil. and owning the
soil they cultivate, associated together
for mutual protection and assistance.
is a grand achievement of itself. and
with proper management they can
hardly fail to pretty enectually help
each other.-Sdcramenfo Record.

The Young.

The young are TO be the successors
of the old. In a few years. at most,
those middle-aged men and women
who now constitute the working force
and moral aud social power of the
grange. will grow weary and become
comparatively inactive, even though
they still feel their love for the order
strong within them. Then. if no
pains have been taken to enlist the
youthful in our ranks. and TO interest
them in, and qualify them for our
great work of informing the minds,
cuitivaiing the tastes. and thus elcvat-
ing the characters of the farming
classes, the grange itself will decline
in numbers and sink into a mere bust
ness, moncy-saving machine-an eye
sore 10 all good patrons, and discred-
il TO the order. | rejoice. therefore.
SO see that our friends are bringing
ont the social features of our organ
ization, in the various picnics which
have lately been held in the middle
states. Let these be followed up in
the approaching long evenings by $50
Gals, "re-anions." and "visitations"
OF oranges in near vicinity TO each
other. And, when these are not con-
venient or practicable, let each grange
arrange, within itself, for "conyersa-
ton meetings" where short addresses
and essays, recitations, declamations,
acted charades, tableaux. and even
dramatic and. operate exhibitions
may be introduced. Another source
of amusement and improvement for
all-but especially for the young-will
be found in the establishment of man.

Book BsIR-Tbe arrival OF the
"bock beer season" brings with it
proper curiosity to know the origin Of
the peculiar custom 80 popular with our
Teutonic citizenp. The tradition which
has been in vogue for 80 long seems
likely to be displaced by an account
wherein more attention is given to fact
than to fancy.
Oue Of the institutions in Munich, in
the olden times, was the official brew
cry, which was established by royal
authority, and which for q long time
was an important source otrevenue to
the prince. In the sixteenth century
there was a great rage for new kind
Of beer, which was perfectly white, but
which is not now made. 1t was to brew
this white beer that the official brewery
was established. Later, however, this
old brewery was devoted exclusively to
the manufacture of bock-a kind Of
beer first made in Einbock OF Bruns-
wick, whence it derived its name.
The season opens on the let Of May.
For weeks before the opening the cellar
OF the old brewery are shut fast, and,
a. the tradition goes, the only being alN
lowed inside is the book demon, who
gu periDteuds the perfection OF the bev-
erage. Two days before the opening
occurs the official testing. In ancient
times three lords OF the cup were dress
ed in strg leather and seated upon a
bench. They drank the book from
two pots, and if, atthe expiration Of an
hour, they could not stand up, the beer
received the verdict OF approval. II,
however, they were able to stand up
.he beer was pronounced b failure.
OF late years select company as
seubles in the cellars to test the beer,
and are expected to do 80 without get
ting fuddled. As they come out OIL the
vault they are waylaid by anxious
crowds eager to learn of the quality Of
the beer. Upon May day the rooms
and casks are dressed with boughs Of
fir, music is provided, aud the people
are invited to help themselves. Dur
ing the season the brewery is crowded
with men, and the beer is believed to
be the best in the world. The rooms
are dingy and forlorn, with the inn
mense casks tilted up in the corners.
The benches and tables are of the
coarsest description, and the place
might readily be taken for one OF low.

most democratic place in all Germany
for here may be seen, side by side, the
highest officers Of the State drinking
