Go INTO TIE GRANGE.-Whatever

Go INTO TIE GRANGE.-Whatever
objections you may have to the
Grange movement, you will really
know very little about its workings
until YOU become an active member.
There must certainly be much in the
organization that is pleasant and
profitable, or it could not be so very
popular with the farmers, who, as a
class, are far more reluctant to &C
to into any new movement than anv
other body of men. In fact, The
growth of this Order is, perhaps,
unparalleled In the annals Of societies.
True, political parties have apparent-
ly sprung into existence S rapidly
but they were in fact only the change
of men from one name and principles,
in organization, 70 another. This
organization is new. There was
nothing of old like it. 1t is entirely
new. 1t is not mere impulse-for
it has drawn into its ranks men who
do not act from mere impulse. The
steady, cautious men, are the enthuss
iastic Patrons. Hence, the Patron
says, and safely, too, that it cannot
be that the organization is bad
But, on the other hand, it is safe to
urge all men who are engaged in
working farms 10 go into the Grange,
aud to go into it with the expectation
that it will be to them q source of
much real benefit, both in money
saving and in pleasure giving. In
tact, it should enable men to become
rich and to keep young. The Grange
is necessity. 1t is q good thing
Join it.

THE GRANGE ON THE DECLINE.

From the Winterset Iowa News.
Not biz CT it. For months we have
heard this conjecture, aud have recently
! tlken pains to ascertain its correctness
Most of our informants say tho order is
receiving but few accessions, but none are
leaving. They are now becoming more
! thoroughly organic ID, have tried many
things that proved Improbable and were
abandoned, and have instituted business
and social system among the producing
classes that will eventually work great
good to the entire country. OF course
they have drones, but many OF them are
beginning to learn that they must work in
order TO live, hence the change, and the
rumor that they were on the decline.
Take the recent harvest as an instance.
More grain has been raised and success
fully harvested than ever before, and more
corn will bs raised. All OF the former
with few exceptions-is now beyond the
danger OF rain or other calamity, whilst
the corn crop will be watched with equal
care. Now. if this great society has been
able in so short time to work mp such q
good state of agricultural knowledge and
care, should not that alone commend
them to conf lence and encouragement?
The cooperative system has been abs1-
doned almost entirely, rs it has been pro-
ven that merchants sell on as SIN I'll mar
gin as possible. yet many people think
they are only waiting to strike harder
blow. Believe it not until you seea move
in this direction. The great menopolies
of the Northwest have been made to feel
the power of this organic ltion, and are
nov reaping the reward of their former
expressions. For this. il nothing else,
should they be entitled to the gratitude
of heretofore oppressed people. Au
people are prone to grumbls, but n fair.
thinking community viii always be willing
to applaud good deeds, no matter from
what source it may come. Dont say the
Patrons Of Hasbandry are on the decline,
for there is no evidence to prove it. We
hope it may live long and prosper, and
eventually prove great good to all mau-
kind. as We are assured it was organized
with this view.
