What the Patrons Propose to Do.

1. To secure for themselves, through
the oranges, social and educational adj
vantages not otherwise attainable, and
thereby, while improving their condi-
ton as class, ennoble farm life, and
render it attractive and desirable.
2. To give full practical effect to the
fraternal tie which unites them, In
helping and protecting each other IN
case of sickness, bereavement, pecunla-
ry misfortune, and want and danger OF
every Kind.
3. 10 make themselves better and
more successful farmers and planters,
by means of the knowledge gained, the
habits of industry and method estab-
lished and the quickening of thought
induced by intercourse and discussion.
4. To secure economies In the buying
of implements, fertilizers, and family
supplies, and in transportation, as well
as increased profits in the sale of the
products of their labor, without en-
HANGING their cost TO the consumer.
5. To entirely abolish the credit sys-
TEN, in their ordinary transactions, al
ways buying and selling on cash basis,
both among themselves and III their
dealings with the outside world.
6. To encourage cooperation in trade,
in farming, and in other branches of in
dustry, especially those most intimately
connected with agriculture.

Federal statistics on Religious Affairs.

An Eastern journal complies some
statistics from the last three censuses
made by the Federal Government, with
reference to the various religious de-
nominations. They are of great inter-
est, as showing the increase in rumbers,
churches, and property of the various
sects. They are valuable as serving to
correct the exaggerated estimates pub
lished by the denominations themselves;
and they are also of value to the student
of social science, by enabling him to
calculate the growth of the important
influences involved in UNCONVENTIONAL
progress. They are likewise of interest
to religious people, because they enable
them to measure accurately their own
increase, and relieve them from the
statistical errors of their denomina-
tional publications. 1t is fact per-
fectly easy of demonstration that, were
one to accept UNCONVENTIONAL statistics
as the basis of a calculation, it would
result in establishing that the total
membership of the various sects very
largely exceeds that of our total popu-
lation. So far from it being the fact
that the religious element approaches
anywhere nearly to our total popula-
ton, it forms, in truth, less than one
half of it.
A case in point is that of religious
people known as Spiritualists. 1t has
repeatedly been asserted by apparently
intelligent Spiritualists that their MEM
bership in the United States exceeds
5000, 600; while the census of the Gov
eminent shows that, in 1870, they num-
bered less than ten thousand. Again,
Baptist statisticians claim total MEM
bership of eight millions in this coun-
try, while the census demonstrates that
these figures are very nearly double
what they should be.
The summary of the census labors for
the Lost three decades is az follows

CO.OperatiOn.

The system of cooperative purchases
has been adopted by the grange in this
State, though it has not been perfected
as it has III Iowa. When there were
five oranges in this county-there are
now eighteen-arrangem were made
with leading merchants in Oshkosh to
sell the Changers at ten per cent. ad-
vance on the cost of the goods at the
place where they were bought. This
gives the merchant about five per cent.
profit, and the advantage of large
cash trade. The arrangement has been
most satisfactory. On groceries and
heavy articles, on which there has always
been but little profit, of course the
saving has been small but ON hats,
caps, boots and shoes, cloth, clothing,
dry goods of every kind, ribbons and
and other millinery articles, books and
stationery, and all kinds of fancy arti-
cles, the saving has been from ten to
sixty per cent. AS new oranges have
been formed, the trade of those who
made the arrangement with the Patrons
has increased, and the majority of the
Changers, who had always been in the
habit of having accounts at the stores
in this city, now pay cash for everything
they buy. In the purchase of farm inn
plemsnts, machinery, sewing machines
and musical instruments, a considerable
saving has been made. / think it is
contemplated to have the grange of this
State unite in purchasing with that of
Iowa-that is, that it shall be SO ar
ranged that the oranges of both States,
and perhaps of Minnesota, shall con-
tract with the same manufacturers, and
thus, by increasing the size OF their
aggregate orders, get lower prices than
either could alone. A good many farm
ers as yet hesitate about sending their
money to the State agent when they
wish to make a purchase, but they are
gradually gaining confidence, and I
think that next year the orders of the
grange of this State directly from The
manufacturers will be quite large. =
