of the order Of the Patrons of Has.
banary of North America has issued
his monthly bulletin for the past month.
It shows the number Of subordinate
oranges and organizing Deputies IN
each state mp to January /. The bull
etin is addressed to each member, and
IS supposed TO be strictly confidential,
as it is beiieved that most Of the meet
ings and work of all kinds can be
shrouded with secrecy so surely the in
iuence of the grange can have effect.

During the years 1872 and 1873,
], ,225 subordinate oranges were organ
lied. The total number of subordinate
granges up to date is 10,015; reported
$50, 125.
The National Grange has been organ
lied since 1867, and the seventh annual
meeting will be held at st. Louis, Mo-,
in February next. The first year of the
there were 10 oranges, all
In the West, and now they are in every
state excepting Rhode Island and Della
ware. From December to January
the number of oranges increased from
s, ,574 to 10,015, and membership from
54S, ,125 to 751, 125.
It viii be seen by the above bulletin
that the order has grown with great
fapi lity in the former slave states, es-
pecially those in the farther South.
enough its largest member
ship is in South Carolina, so far as the
South is concerned. The lagest num-
ber of organized oranges are found in
Kansas, according to population, while
Iowa and Missouri give the largest per
centage of membership.
