The Age feels proud of Col. John
Cochrane, and thanks God there is
such a man at the head of the State
Grange of Wisconsin. Like Father
Colder, of Illineis, he is grand, and a
good, and a patriotic old man. He
has just Issued circular, accompanied
with list of questions for the farmers
to present TO the candidates for the
legislature, that has the true ring in
them. They are brim fun of sound
sense and patriotism, and the Age
trusts that no farmer in the State of
Wisconsin will vote for any candidate
for the Legislature or for any State
Office. that viii not give full and
frank answer to the niesrogatories,a and
make an avowal of concurrence in the
principles presented. Let the winds
blow and the sea roar, there is nothing
but good to the people can come from
standing squarely on the platform pre-
sented by the honest Patrons of Wis
consin. They are wise in taking steps
to keep from returning to monopoly
rule. The Stete has suffered enough
TO feed and fatten horde of cormo-
rants whose greed is Unsuitable: and
who have grown to think it is their
right aud privilege to ride the indus
tries of the State booted aud spurred.

Among animals, reproduction is
most successful and profitable. when
the agents used are most nearly per-
feet. And the same holds good with
vegetables. The seed is the parent of
the crop, and poor seed will invariably
produce a poor crop. The heaviest.
plumpest, and ripest seed is TO be cho-
sen, if we would secure the most pro-
fitable harvest. OF course no farmer
should sow weeds and expect to reap
wheat, therefore the seed must be per-
fectly clean. 1t will pay to pick out
cookie, chess and such seeds, by hand,
rather than SOW them to stock the
ground hereafter. This present labor
will be far lighter than the after one
of killing weeds. The proper selec-
ton of seeds for the fall sowing is of
the greatest Importance. This is no
new discovery, but is a fact that needs
frequent repetition. One of the old
est writers on agriculture, who lived
2 200 years ago, declared the same thing
when he said, al have seen seed to de-
generate year by year, unless the larg-
est were culled ont laboriously."-Er

y Cowley county correspondent OF
the Leavenworih Times says; From
tie best knowledge can CLEAN, have
become thoroughly satisfied that
nown, unbroken prairie, sown 20 rye
or wheat and well narrowed, VIII pro-
duce fair crop (better, perhaps of
rye, and viii prove easier and cheaper
mode CT reducing raw prairie to de-
sirable culture. If the grass be burned
of, it viii be better. Some cut it of
with machine and barn it on the
ground when dry. Many farmers Oh
the Walnut have sown rye on their
their timbered lands with the best re-
sulis; it furnishing excellent pastur-
age for stock during the entire winter.

have an idea that we shall see high
er prices for wheat, and lower prices
for barley for the next few years. Last
year barley paid better than wheat.
Next year it would not be surprising
if wheat paid better than barley.
think the prospects for farmers are
qnite encouraging. The present and
prospective good prices for pork viii
add largely to the aggregate profits of
farmers, and do much to enhance our
general prosperity. Many ,fnanciers
are looking TO political action to set
wheels of trade and commerce in mo-
ton. | am looking to the pork barrel
and the corn crop. The pig is master
of the situation. He is the most po-
tent agent for keeping down railroad
freights and for increasing agricultur-
al profits. We can, by his aid, pack
dozen bushels of corn in barrel, and
transport it aronnd the world What
we have to do now is to look to the
quality of pork, bacon, hams and lard.

Grapes on the Prairie.

The long established notion that
grapes could only be successfully
grown on hillsides or in the undulat-
ing countries, bids fair to be set aside.
Nowhere in all our lilly region here
at Button or at Herman, have we seen
such grapes as around Sedalia. The
fact is, wherever we saw vines, with
one exception, and that was on the
more hilly ground four miles from
town, the grape crop was fair one.
The poetic ''yine-clad hills" so often
usen may lose some Of its charm.
That as good wine can be made from
grapes grown on prairie soil as from
those grown on hillsides, we doubt; but
it may do very well even for wine. One
thing is certain-we must first have
the grapes. This seems TO be very
uncertain affair here of Colmah' $
Rural World.

The Ritual Defended.

VIM. j. Murnah, of Center Grange,
No. GA, of Warsaw, Indiana, writes to
the Hoosier Patron an able communi-
cation in defence Of the ritual of the
Order. He says:
think to dispense with the ritual
would be to pull up the Grange by the
roots, and set it on stump, 80 TO
speak, for the purpose of making it
grow better. To dispense with the
ritual, in my opinion, would be death
to the Order. 1t would be striking
out all of the noble and grand precepts
which it is one of the objects of our
noble Order to teach aud instill into
the minds of the young. A three-fold
cord is not easily broken, but to abol-
ish the ritual would sever the cord at
once and leave US nothing but the gain
of money. So far as am concerned l
am deeply interested in the teachings
of the ritual. And our Grange meet
ings have always been successful. l
claim that the cause of success has
been in our strictly adhering TO tine
ritual. know of some Oranges who
do not strictly adhere TO the ritual and
success is failure with them. When
any of our brothers or sisters speak
upon any subject, they speak TO the
point. 1t is not necessary for brother
or sister TO talk an hour upon any sub
ject, when ali that was said could be
said in ten minutes; and then if we
meet once week we do not confer de-
grees every time we meet, so we have
the whole time for business. When
not comforting degrees you can meet
as often as necessary TO successfully
carry on the workings of the Order.

A Grange Picnic.

AT the last meeting of the District
Grange the feasibility of holding a
Grange picnic over on the Cowskin, or
some other central point, some time
during the present month, was DIS
cussed. and il seemed to be the general
feeling that it ought to be held.
We ought to have good farmers
Jubilee after the abundant crops that
we have harvested the present year.
Let. it be held say we. We have
every reason 10 rejoice and none what
ever to be sad. With grand dinner,
speeches and toasts, all would enjoy
themselves, and go away feeling that
it was 'sgood for them to be there"
Let the matter be talked up in the
Oranges OF the county, and it can be
made success.
1t should be understood, however,
that it is to be grand Grange meet
ing, and that politics and politicians
are not wanted. The Grange is in no
sense political organization, and if
every one remembers this fact, such a
meeting might be made an enjoyable
occasion. Think the matter over.

''Prizes for grain" said the Deacon,
''are won by those who know how to
clean it most thoroughly guess if had
run my wheat as many times through
the tanning mill as you did, | could
have beat you" l won't argue that
point. The extra quality of these
prize peas may have been due in good
degree 10 the skill with which they
were cleaned. No matter about that
If so, it shows the importance of hav-
ing a good tanning mill, and using it
until we have got out the largest and
heaviest grains for seed If farmer
has 500 bushels Of wheat, and wants
fifty bushels for seed, it will pay him
to run the whole 10. through the fam
ming mill, until he has got out fifty
bushels of the best kernels. We
should clean our grain for seed as care
fully as an experienced exhibitor
cleans his grain for fair.-American

Exchange of Seed.

1t is always best to exchange seed,
il only for a few miles, of any grain,
but particularly wheat, which becomes,
as farmers call it, tired. This has been
known by frequent practical expert
men;s to make difference Of from two
to ten bushels per acre in the yield.
A careful selection of the most APP
proved varieties as seed, and certain
ty that it is free from smut and foul
seeds, is very imprtant in the effort to
grow good wheat crop. If seed is
old, or has been heated in the NOW or
bin. the germ may be injured or de-
stroyed, and in that case viii fail 10
produce a full aud vigorous growth OF
plants.
Seed wheat should be graded-that
is, the small kernels should be in some
way separated from the large and per-
feet ones, and only the best sown.
This may be done by raising up the
front end of the flaming mill, thps
slanting the sleeves in the direction of
the blast of wind, and feeding the mill
slowly, turning fast and blowing hard,
driving half or more of the grain over
the sleeves, and thus allowing only the
plump, heavy kernels TO come forward
of the mill for seed-Ec.

a good many good Patrons are dis
posed to fall into the habit of using
this term to designate q Patron OF
Husbandry. On their part it is doubt
less for the want of thought of its be-
ing simply misnomer, and term
which really signifies nothing, or at
least what they do not intend or mean
by it. Those who are unfriendiy to us
use il as term of reproach or ridicule
and generally mean nothing else by it,
shall we aid them thus to establish and
fix this name upon US? For one pro-
test that il is not our name. 1t mere
~ desiguates the subdivisions of our
order, and the place where VIC meet
Odd Fellows and Masons have lodges
places where they meet. Does any
body think of calling them dodgers on
that account? This would be par
allel case exactly. 1t looks and sounds
still worse when it is applied as the
name ola paper. The term grange, as
a noun, with an adjective prefix, might
be endurable, but granger is intoler-
able. L. r. ALLEN.
