The grange movement, as it is term

May and May Day

Last month we had TO so a great way
back TO find out how April got It's
name; and we shall find the same thing
necessary with other months Why
May is SO called, does not seem 10 be
so well settled. Some say it was from
the Maia, who was the mother Of Mer-
curry. The ancient Greeks and Romans
had a great many gods and goddesses.
Neptune was the god of the sea. Flora
was the goddess of flowers, and so on.
Mercury was the messenger of the gods
ran of errauds for them. and Maia
was his mother. These old fables we
laugh at now, but we are obliged in
various ways 10 remember them, for
we can not look at the thermometer
without being reminded of Mercury,
after whom the metal was named, and
the same name is found among the
planets. In this month the ancients
had celebrations in honor of Flora, and
that custom was continued, and
was the origin of the celebration
of May-day. which has becn a holiday
in England from the very earliest time
until now. Going into the fields to
gather flowers, and choosing Queen
of May" is still the custom In Eng
land. Some try TO follow this custom
in our northern States; they find but
few flowers, and generally come home
very cold aud cross. North of Yir-
gina, Mayday, as a holiday, is fail
urc, and, however we wish to keep up
the customs of our great grandfathers
and grandmothers, ii is IN most places
much pleasanter TO observe the holiday
in June.-1moyfcda AgricalturoliSt

The Illinois Granger thinks there
should be a more practical co-opera-
ton among farmers for the purpose of
buying agricultural implements and
supplies. Farmers should realize the
fact that their greatest gains can be
made by united action, not only in
buying but in selling also. They should
learn TO buy at wholesale here, but
they should also learn to draw bills of
exchange on London, and Get the profit
on fcrty-five to sevcpty-fve days III
terest on the Englishman's money on
every consignment of grain sent for
ward. There is no reason in the world
why they cannot do il through their
own agents, just as well as individual
spectators now do il on their own ac-
count for their individual profit. No
class of people need TO study honest
political economy more than farmers,
for no class of people are injured more
by dishonest political economy than
agriculturists.-A

This is the natural home for cattle.
From early spring until the middle of
October or the first of November the
herds of farmers and stock raiser's
wander leisurely through the green
nutritious grasses that brush their
sides in open meadows that arc bound
less, growing fat and producing their
kind. The abundant grasses, pure wa
tiers and warm climate render this por-
ton of Kansas the finest stock country
probably in the known world. The
corn crop is safe before the rains cease,
and after that time the grass cures
upon the ground and makes natural
hay, retair.ng much of its nutritious
qualities. which serves as perennial
pasture for stock. The fall and winter
seasons, which east Of the Missouri
are marked by the prevalence of cold
rains and chilling storms so trying to
stock, here are marked by dry and
bracing weather. Occasional storms,
in which light, dry snow is drifted and
wreathcd upon the surface, occur, dur
inc which the farmer will feel called
upon to shelter and feed his stock.
Thus this country is specially adapted
for sheep and stock-raising in coniunc-
ton with grain growing, and must I'M
doubtedly soor become great source
of supply of beef and mutton to the
eastern markets. Thousands of tons
of hay can be had for the cutting at
cost of 20 to So cents per ton, which
can be used for making sheds for cat
tie for shelter during our short winter
of two or three months Fortunes are |
being made and will be made in the |
raising of stock in this valley.
TREES.
Forest and fruit trees grow with
rapidity in this valley. The
lack of timber, with our herd law, is
but little felt, but even that want viii
