Shall We Join The Graz. 70.

Many good farmers and thir wives,
sons and daughters of our county,
are pondering over the above heading,
not knowing exactly what to do. In
these latter days, SO many new fan
gled doctrines are propagated that it
is very difficult tor many to arrive ~
conclusion Is 10 duty under tho
circumstances. The object in open
ing this column is to show some OF
the objects and aims of the order, ;s
well as its progress.
The order OF p. of II. was organ
lied on the 4th of Dec, 1866, and
now numbers over two million mem.
/ ers in the Unite! States, and new
oranges are being organized on sn
average oselevcn per day. Although
in part secret order, it has no con-
nection in any way with other orders
of secret character. The organiza
ton was brought into existence rs a
matter of necessity by the American
farmers for their own mutual benefit
and the advancement of the best in.
terests OF mankind generally.
Farming in times past has been
looked down upon by many other
pursuits OF life as rather degrading.
