Farmers Storing Their Own Grain.

The following letter, written by a
farmer, is taken from the Western
Farm Journal:
1--WE have heard of several instan
ces of the Patrons of Husban,lry com
binug together and building ware
houses for their grain upon the rail-
road tracks. each farmer owning his
own bin, instead of building grain bins
on their farms. There is house OF
This kind at Blairstown, Benton coun-
ty, Iowa, which has one hundred
stockho ders, in successful operation,
and the system gives good satisfaction
10 all parties. There is another house
Of tins kind in process of construction
at Bonaparte, VanBuren county, Iowa,
and a number in Illinois-all modelled
after house built on q cheap plan, in
Peoria, ILL.,, by Chase & Co., of that
city. The advantages accruing to the
farmer in this system are:
/. The bins built in large numbers
together are much cheaper than those
built sing on the farm
2. The farmers can haul their
grain at their leisure, VIII n they have
coed roads, and are not rushed in q
busy season, and bad roads to market
their grain.
8. The grain can be hauled direct
ly from the threshing machine, and
put into the bin IN the warehouse, and
cleaned by horse power with improved
cleaners, both for gram and grass
seeds, at much less expense than
when It is cleaned in the common fan.
ming mill by hand.
4. The grain is much safer stored
in the warehouse, and less liable to
damage by dampness and heating
5. The farmer is not compelled to
sell his grain till he gets a good price
for it, but can deliver his grain To- the
ELEVATOR, and get an elevator receipt
for 1t, and use his receipt as co later
81 To raise money at the banks. These
receipts are favorite collateral with
all bankers, and will command money
over all other securities.

Artificial Butter.

Ole0margarine is the name of the
artificial butter which, having had
such an excellent sale in London
and Paris. is now becoming popular
10 New York and Boston. There
are two of these olepmargsrine fac
tories in New York-one in Flfty.
sixth street, and one in Twenty
sixth street. They produce daily
$4,000, lbs. which. with the product Of
other factories in the vicinity of the
metaopolies, makes the yield more
than tweDty-three tons per day.
The butter is made from the yellow
tasteless and orderless oil that is OBJ.
tanned from beef suet. This oil is
placed in churns, with one fifth its
weight of sour milk, and churned
until an emulsion Is formed. annato
being added to give it the REQUIRED
color.
1t is then cooled and worked md
salted like common butter. 1t ia as
timsted that four thousand tons
(eighteen million pounds) Of this ar.
tificiaI butter have been consumed
in this country during the last eight
months. What the effect of the in
creased use of this article will have
upon the COW question is a problem
which we leave TO the oranges and
students of history.

SECESSION AMONG CHANGERS.
An Iowa Grange Formally ~ i,hdrnws from
Membership with the state and National Or
ganizatiOu

WEBSTER Cry, Iowa, Jan. %, 1874
AT last the differences among the
Patrons Of Husbandry in this QIamil
ton County, have eliminated, in the
withdrawal of Marion Grange, No.
SOL, and the seyering of its connection
with the State and National Oranges
1t is unnecessary to detail all the
causes which have induced his action.
The members believe and declare that
they have been subjected to imposi
tons, and that the MACH cry of the
order as now constituted is useless as
well as too expensive. 1t is rnmored
that other oranges in t':is neighbor
hood are considering the propriety OF
also Withdrawing. /; is said that one
of the principal causes for dissatisfac-
ton Is the effort to drag the oranges
away from the original objects Of their
organization and into pc itics. The
members OF Marion Grange believe
that the State and National Oranges
are being used not to benefit all farm
ers as an class, but for the gain of a
few individuals, who wish to live on
salaries paid by the farmers money,
and, in some Instances, to palm Oft
upon them worthless patents for agri
cultural machinery at enormous prices.
The following are the resolutions:
Resoleed, That the Iowa State Grange.
hough pretending TO be a more popular body,
is characterized by the same autocratlc or
ganization and assumption OF power whose
features are always obnoxious and intolerably
offensive 10 freedom and justice.
ReSotse9. That the experience OF Marion
Grarge, No. 39I, 10 the Order of Patrons of
Husbai,drv, is history oil repeated wrongs,
frauds and insults, inflicted upon IL hv those
claiming and exercising the highest authority
and OF insoet assumptions and high handed
usm paiions, dating from its first organization,
when il was swind'ed by State deputy, up TO
the recent attempted imposture by the State
Master himself
Resolved, That the members of Marion
Grange conclude, from experience and rtfec-
ion, that farmers can combine and perfect an
o rganization for their benefit, like The Farm
err Association of Illinois, Tor instance, more
effective than that OF the Order Of The Patrons
of Husbandry, which shall possess fundamen-
tai laws more in har nohy with the genirs of
our republican institutions, and which can be
maintained at greatly reduced co-t in shot
that farmers can get along much better with
out than with the pr esent pieteniIons extrava-
giant and Vicious government of the order
Resolved, That Marion Grange, No. 39l, is
anu uugh hi TO be, free and independent OF the
Iowa State Grange, andrhe National Grange,
and thai its connection with SAID grange is,
and ought TO be Dissolved.

sin, which produced in 1873 upward
of 3S2, 100000 bushels, the average
amount on hand at the date named is
estimated at fraction less than 30 per
cent on the approximate quantity OF
100 0O0,00u bushels. The average
consumption is very uniform in all the
States, being highest in Wisconsin 60
per cent. The universally mild wealth
er in all locations has ended largely in
keeping down the corn consumption
The condition of stock generally is
better than was anticipated a month
earlier The estimates upon the stock
Of hogs are for the same States named
above, and indicate an average falling
off OF 81 per cent. from the nu mber
on hand year ago. The condition
of some is far below the average, the
high prices paid by packers and the
scarcity of corn having caused an out
flow OF the marketable hogs, and a
stinting of the supply of food to those
remaining. The outlook is very slim
for hogs for the summer packing A
