PATalNS OF nuSBANDRY.
Meeting OF Minnesota State Grange.

ana was opened with an addreSS Oy
Grand Master Parsons. He opens with
a review Of the progress of the Order,
stating that 142 Oranges have been or
ganized in this State duriug the past
year, and that there are now $4,000
Oranges in the United States and Can.
ada. He gives the objects Of the Or
der as four fold, VIZ:
First and foremost, then, the Grange
is designed as school for the farmer,
where he can be instructed and educat.
ed in the business or calling which feeds
and clothes the world. The wants of
the age demand better and more INTEL
ligent farmers.
The second great object of our order
is the cultivation of the social graces,
and the promotion of social enjoyment.
Man is social being, and in social in
tercourse finds the main enjoyment of
life. From the very nature Of his call
ing the farmer is in measure isolated
from his fellows, and needs something
more than mere accident, or the calls Of
business, to bring him into closer social
connection with them. The Grange is
admirably adapted to meet and supply
this want.
To dispense charity is another Of the
leading objects of our beloved order,
and we should love it, an9 cherish it,
and defend it, because it provides a
plan for the systematic. sure and
speedy relief Of those amongst us who,
from any cause, need assistance.
What is called the business arm of
our order, which at first was placed in
the background, has been placed in the
front, and demands our wisest and most
serious consideration. In all times
past the farmer has not realized satis-
factory pecuniary prosperity, and it is
now sot ght through this secret society,
by concert of action and cooperation,
toIimprove the financial condition Of
our mcmbers,, = The pertinent and
vital Questions here present them
selves How, on the one hand, shall
we procure the best prices for farm pro-
duce? and how, yon the other hand,
shall we procure iarm and family sup
plies at the lowest rates The latter
question is rapidly approaching solu.
ton. Within the last. twelve months
much has been accomplished through
corporation in buying, buying with
cash. and as nearly as possible Of first
haness thns9 z creating competition
among sellers. thereby reducing the
cost of tools and machinery for the
farm, and supplies for the household.
I'VE are confident that, in this direction,
Our efforts will soon result iii entire
success.
The former question, however, seems
net to be So easily answered. Not
withstanding the fact that what the
far mer has to sell are articles of prime
necessity, without which the world
would starve, and the price Of which he
of right ought to have some voice in
establishing, he is still at the mercy OF
horde Of spectators, warehouse men,
and carriers, combined in }nonopolies
and rings, who fix the price Of his pro-
duce ct their pleasure, taking to them
selves the principal proats, and 'Ivkv.
ing to him but little more than the
bare cost cf production. 1t seems as
though the remedy for this great evil
