The Centennial Fourth Of July in

WE MENTIONED in our Sunday Issue a
party Of four. a quartette OF anglers. had
gone up to the Lake. This piscatorial
expedition embraced DcNeuf and Weule

We stated that the others would proba-
bly, cut up Fryer for bait. We made q
mistake. Judging from results it was
Driesbach who got tished with. Any
how, we. who didn't go with the party
caught one trout. while Abe, who started
out sort O. in command of the squad,
never got bite. The others put up a
job on him. They coniscated all the
lines. Another fact is that Fryer did
his angling all alone, and after the
others had had their fun. One nimble
fellow got away from Fryer; and be
landed one which he calls "a vail" 1t |
is not "a WALL" however, but q hand

excellent sport. and Fryer looks as if he
had been barely rescued from the stake

The WALKER HOUSE is the pleasant
and appropriate name by which the new
hotel now finishing on Carson street,
inst above tie Mint is to be known.
Elijah Walker, old timer. man of sub
stance and popular landlord, is the
namesake OF this new hos.clrie. This
structure is the reconstructed Plank
house. The same got the perapatetlcs
and walked away from its old place IA
mile or two to the southwark and came
up here. That is another good reason
why it is to be called the Walker House.
Plank House was its name before it was
married Well, Mr.. Walker has had
it squared round onto Carson street
and fixed it up in fine style and made it
into a hotel with no less than 40 rooms

The GRANGEs.-The Farmers "Granges" are
constantly growing in number. The latest re-
port of the "National Grange" dated Deem
Der 16, states that at that time there were
throughout the country 1927 sutordinated
Oranges, there having been an increase during
The week closing on that date of 24S. The
greatest number of Oranges is in Iowa, 1889.
Missouri comes next, with 1,199, and following
this State, the next largest numbers are Hi
nois, 1913; Indiana 1872, and Kansas 721. These
five States, it will be noticed, have much more
than one-half of the whole number. The ad-
joining States, in proportion to their popula-
ton, have, in some cases, smaller relative num-
bers. Thus, Minnesota has 397 Oranges, Ne
braska 39l, Wisconsin 270, Ohio 249, and Mich
igan 147. These ten Western States, represent
ing the Middle and Upper Mississippi valley,
have in the aggregate, 6,7l3 Oranges, SO that
they contain about five -sevenths of the entire
Order of Patrons of Husbandry. There is a
strong and rapidly increasing development of
the Order in the South, the leading States OF
tina section reporting the following number of
Oranges; Mississippi SOY; Georgia 1872; Ala
bama 326; Tennessee 1852; South Carolina 494 ;
North Carolina 1913, and Kentucky and Arkan-
sas each 116. California reports 1885, the New
England States IS, there being none in Connec-
ticut or Rhode Island; Pennsylvania As ; New
York and New Jersey each "a, and Maryland7.
The aggregate membership of the Oranges on
December 16 was 697, 275, of whom about $780,
900 were voters, the others being women and
persons under age.-PhI Ledger, Jan. l.

THE FENCE LAw.-We are glad to learn that
an effort will be made at the coming session OF
the Legislature to have general law passed,
by which the farming interest will be relieved
of the expense Of keeping up fences around
their farms to prevent their neghbors cattle
trespassing. We frequently called attention to
this subject through these columns, and we
sincerely hope the efforts to be made before the
Legislature will be success. Statistics show
the cost of fences in the United States, and the
value of live stock equal the interest bearing
debt of the government; and that each dollars
worth of stock requires one dollars worth OF
fence to keep it in order.
We have seen no estimate of the cost of put
ting up fences in this State, but in Pennsylva-
MIA worm fence cost 95 cents, post and rail
SIPS, and board fence $l26 per rod. The av-
erage cost of enclosing 100 acres in Pennsylva-
MIA is put down at nearly thousand dollars
and this may be considered about fair aver
age in this State.
The question to come up before the Legisla.
ture, we understand, is to dispense with all
fences except those enclosing pasture land
which would involve the necessity of setting
apart certain fields of each farm for the farm.
er's stock-a system long established in Eng
land with great success and profit, as well as
marked improvement to the fields reserved fol
cultivation.
Our State requires the frequent opening and
making OF new roads, the expense OF which 10
made enormous by the new fences the tax-p
ers are required to furnish those through whose
lands the new roads run. The adoption of the
old English system of what they call "stock
fields" in which all the stock of the farm are
kept and fed, would greatly relieve the burden
of taxes, remove objections to the opening o
new roads, and add largely to the improvement
of our lands.
We hope the intelligent farmers in this csun
fv will thorouOhlU canvasq Our fpnoe and roar
system, and prepare themselves to instruct ant
enlighten their representatives in the Genera
Assembly on this most important matter.-Am
