WE are aske5 to state what the
oranges are doing. If we were author
lied to answer for them, We should say
in brief-the oranges are quietly at {
tending to their own business, and they
wish that others might find as much
pleasure and benefit from like occupa-
ton as they do.-E1change.
T. r. ALLEN, master of the Missouri !
state grange, having been chosen by a
paper of the state as its candidate for ;
governor, recently wrote to the editor,
firmly declining to be put in nomination
for any Office whatever, adding that he
did not regard the position of governor
of a state as more honorable than the
one he now holds.
A PATRON says of the result of the or
ganization in his neighborhood 1.-THE
discussion of questions of practical in
terest to Patrons, which form feature
of our grange, is having tendency to
develop not only better manner Of
expressing ourselves, but a greater viii
lingness to make the effort. Great i'm
provement has already been observed
in even the little practice we have thus
far had"
THE state council OF county purchas-
ing agents, of the Indiana oranges, will
hold its next session in Indianapolis,
September 20. It's officers are as fol-
lows: President, w. w. Barnes, OF
Howard county vice president, M. A.
Logan, of White county secretary,
Alpheus Tyner, Of Hancock county
treasurer, Robert Mitchell, of Gibson
county; gate-keeper, Nj. B. Waugh, of
Montgomery county.
THE Changers are doing more to pro-
tect and establish substantial enter
prises in connection with their organiza-
lions than all the efforts of legislation
and capital have done heretofore. At
Red Oak, Iowa, they propose the Or
ganization of a stock company for estab-
fishing linBeed Oil mill, to consume
the large amount of flax seed raised in
that vicinity. We hear many instances
of this kind every day, and hope that |
the good work may go on with re-
doubled energo>--OnlahG Union.
THE narrow-gauge railroad from Sal
mas to Monterey, in California, is about |
completed. This is literally grangers' |
railroad. The project was first preached, |
discussed and organized in the grange. |
The stockholders are nearly all grang-
and 1t is nearly all grangers' money that
has built it, and the grangers are going |
to patronize it and send their wheat to |
Monterey, and load it on board vessel
chartered by grangers, and get the re-
turns through the Changers bank, Of
San Francisco.
THE patrons of California claim that
the grange movement has saved in the
one item of wheat the sum of SIS. O0O.-

upon the grain rings of San Francisco
Before the grange year 1873, the differ
ence between the price per bushel be-
tween San Francisco and Liverpool was
about so cents. In 1873 it was only
sixty-six cents per bushel, thus giving
the farmers twenty-three cents more
The saving on the 445, 600 tons shipped
at San Francisco would be nearly 49,
$1,000, besides that shipped from Val
lejo. All this is owing to the concert
and cooperation of the farmers. Then
there is the cheapening of sacks, ware
house expenses, transportation, price of
machinery, etc, bringing the saving up
to So, 900, 000.
The grange Touring mill, at Fari-
bault, Mimi, is one of the most COM
plete yet undertaken by the order. It
is building ninety-four by fifty-one
feet, exclusive of the space for the en-
gines, of stone, with timbers of Norway
pine, twelve by twelve. The basement
is thirteen feet in the clear, and the sew
eral superior stories fifteen feet, with a
cupola twelve feet square and sixteen
feet high. The basement contains the
foundations for the burrs, built up of
solid masonry, with an engine room
forty-four feet by sixteen, accommodate
ing an engine of one hundred horse
power. The first story contains six run
of French burr stones, four feet in di-
ameter the second the gamers, puri-
fiers, &c. the third the boiling chests,
occupying a space of sixty by twenty
six feet, the cupola, the elevator. The
capacity of the mill will be 100 bushels
day, and it will be ready by January
l, 1875. The capital stock is $50, 600,
divided into shares of $50 each.-M Y.

THERE are very many things in which
Patrons can cooperate beside supplying
the family with groceries or shipping
their grain. Matters suggest themselves
now which at first thought seem chimer-
ical, but which can, by proper thought
and agitation, and by the proper persons
taking hold of them, become practical.
A community perfectly united and or
ganized, may perform with cheapness
and ease what an individual would find
impossible. The day may come when

IF the western Changers are not he
coming potent in a political way, they
certainly exhibit a wonderful activity
collectively, in pushing the individual
interests of the farmers. This is espe-
cially true in Iowa, where the hay-seed
elements haye carried the grange sys.
