Frank Keith, writing from Mechanicsville,
Iowa, to the Montpelier Journal, says Of the
Grange movement
This state WAS among the iirsttO engage in
this movement, and is us much nearer out
of it than their neighbOrs rs they were in adj
vance in engaging in 1t. They find no return
for the half million they have paid for run
nIng their moonshine, and all the honest and
honorable men are leaving the organization,
and already the party looks very much like

reaping all the profit, ut the expense OF their
pockets.
The Grinuell, Iowa, Herald of the eth,
says
The number of subordinate oranges in this
state is 2,000-an increase over last year OF
1863. 1909 smaller oranges consolidated III

Evidently what allied Mr.. Keith was that
he thought the Journal was an anti-grange
paper, mot having heard of the recent con.
version of its fourth page to the grange faith
under Hoskins) and was writing more with a
view of pleasing the editor than Of telling the
truth, not considering truthfulness any OBJ.

The st. Jolnsbary Farmer has minated
in its last two issues that the Fairbanks COM
pany Is discllarging men because they have
joined the Sovereigns Of Industry. IL the
Farmer is correct, then that firm is in very
small business Argus.
We have simply stated facts, but we do
not blame Atkins, Chase, and others. for
i%nierring from these facts that there was
manifested a spirit of persecution. Indeed,
if VIC had not the direct personal assurance
Of the firm to the contrary, we could but
draw a similar inference ourself. As it is,
we await further facts.

that as security. Then they will draw but
one interest on their capital. We cannot
expect a remedy for this evil from the pres.
Ont Congress, because there are too many
bank officials and capitalists aud their
friends in Congress, but il the democratic
party, when it comes into power next year

C0NTEMpTIBLE.-That is none too strong
a word to use of the course DR.. Hoskins and
the Montpelier Polands have taken to try
to injure the FARMER. In order to derive
full benefit from the Dr.'s column of slosh
about the FARMER, they wanted to send a
copy OF their paper containing it to each Of
our subscribers, aud so made use of a copy
of our printed subscription list, which DR..
Hoskins probably procured aud preserved
for some such honorable purpose. The per-
petration Of little sneaking games ike that
must not be censured so severely in them as
1t would be in decent people, however, as al
lowance must be made for their inherent dc.
pravity of soul. But they might have
avoided both the expense and the odium
Of this act, this time, as we sent the docu-
ment to all our subscribers, over a thousand
OF whom were not included 10 the last
March list used by the Polands, and we
make no charge for the job. The doctor
has made his boasts that though he had sold
out the subscription list and good will of
the FARMER he could still carry with him a
good share Of the subscribers. That is what
he and the Polands are trying to do, but
they are welcome to all they can get, though
we stop the paper when the subscription ex.
pires, which they dare not do. Where
would their list be if they did? If they
succeed in their trial by talking turkey on one
page and crow on another to secure both the
farmers and their mercantile advertising
patronage, why, much good may it do them.

Look Gut for Your CabbageS Now.

Mr.. FdifOT: In addition TO the native and
uatUralZed pests which the American gar
dener has TO contend against, we have now q
newly-imported one from the mother coun-
try, in The shape OF the English cabbage but
terhy, whose offspring, q snail green Torm,
res mbing in color the green of the cabs,al ge,
is very destructive in its ravages, and il not
checked will entirely destroy whole crops CT
his vegetable. In my opinion, it can only
be destroyed by constant and careful hand
picking, for one. when left. is sufficient to
utterly consume the plant. / am now trying
scot and ashes, in equal quantities. and If
successful will advise you of the result. This
insect was imported some two years since
and, III not checked, will cause the entire loss
OF the cabbage crop wherever they abound.
send herewith four OF the insects. one male
and three females. You will perceive the
male has two spots on each wing, while the
female has only one. They now abound
throughout the District and adjoining coun-
ties, and IL behooves every cultivatOr of the
soil to use every effort to destroy them. c.

a Story for the Girls.

FROM the Detroit Free Press
Sit down on the porch. children and lat mo
tell you about Aunt Rachel. and the story
she once told me. One day, when was about
twelve years Old, had planned 10 go after
strawberries. but Aunt Rachel said To me-
"A girl OF your age should begin 10 learn how
10 DO houSe-Work. Take OFF your hat, roll IN
your sleeves, and help me do the baking"
pOuted and sighed and shed tears, but was
encouraged by the promise that | might 90
after the baking. Under good A unit Rachel'S
direction ! mixed a good loaf of bread placed
IL on a tin as bright as a new dollar, and was
rubbing the -four of my hands when She
called out This Will never, never do
clean"
l shall never forget the picture she made
standing there, her eyes regarding me stern
Iy, one hand resting on her lap, while In the
she held the untdy bowl.

is not only untidy, but il makes too Inuch
waste; TO be good housekeeper you mus:
learn TO be economical. You have heard the
story OF the young man who wanted an eco
EomiCal Wife?''
that didn't wish to hear ii either.
'Nell, she continued, .'he was a very ike
~ young man and ne wanted careful WIFE,
so he thought of way he could find out One
morning he went 10 call upon the different
girls Of his acquaintance and asked them
each Tor The ScTapings of their bread-bOwlS to
feed his horses. You see they all wanted
MN, so they got all they could for him.
ina lily he found girl who hadn't any, so he
asked her 10 be his wife because he thought
she must be economical Now said Aunt
Rachel, triumphantly, "suppose n young
man should ask you for the scrapings ofyouT
bread bowl, what could you say?'
"What could say" l repeated, scornfuI-
~, why, I'd tell HIM if he couldn't afford to
buy cats for his horses they might starye /
wouldn't rob The pig TO feed them.'
! suppose Aunt Rachel thought that lesson
was all lost on me; but as true as you live |
never knead the bread TO this day without
thinking Of her lesson in economy.

ENGLISH RURAL JURIEs.-If Hereford
SHIRE Juries can boast OF stupidity, those of
W OrceSterShire can show versatility. AT WOr-
cesterShire quarter sessions, on Tuesday last
one John Bently, a woOdcutter, was indicted
for stealing the butts and tops OF hop poles,
which he had been employed to cut. The de-
fence was that this timber was the perqui-
site of the cutter. The jury found a verdict
OF guilty" with a recommendation of
mercy, on the ground that the prisoner be-
1eved he had right to use the surplus tim
ber The chairman, Mr.. Hastings, refused to
accept this verdict, and explained TO the Jury
Tat II they were of the opinion that the pris-
oner believed that the cuttings belonged TO
him by right there was no bad animus and
they must acquit him. The jury, thus being
recharged, recOnsidered their verdict, and in
less than q minute came to the same as
before, but without the recommendation of
mercy. Accordingly, the accused was SEN
fenced 10 three months imprisonmens.-Pdi

"Well, do you know that she says you

heard shTili voice calling her:
''Nile wretch, don't you enter that gate or
you'll get scalded.'
She returned home, and the young states
man dropped down under a shade tree, kick
