What the Grange Nay Do.

There is scarcely any limit to the pos.
sible usefulness of the Grange to the
farmers of our country.
1t is valuable as q means of charity
and benevolence.
1t is valuable as a means for literary
and social improvement.
1t is valuable because it tends to ele
Yate farmers to their true position among
mankind.
1t is valuable because it teaches as te
forget our grievances, forgive our neigh
bors, and avoid litigation.
1t is valuable as q sentinel, guarding
our interests against the encroachments
of rings and monopolies.
1t is valuable because it tends to de-
yelep the resources of our country, es-
tablish manufactures, and create new
and varied industries.
II is valuable because it elevates
women to q level with man, thereby
expanding our ideas and conceptions.
advancing us another step farther from
the savage state; in which man is hero
woman slave.
IT teaches Us that it is not all of life,
to toll like . slave, cultivate broad acres,
accumulate herds and lands, and gather
to our Golfers a few paltry dollars, by
''eoining them with our own life blood
and stamping them with the sighs of
OF disheartened wives and weary child
ren," but that home should be our sane
tuary. where cheerfuiness and happiness
reign supremely.
And lastly, it is valuable as founda-
tfen Oh which to build, improve, and
elaborate mighty organization, in the
interest Of agriculture and mankind.

Feed fer Young Chickens.

They want no food for many hours
after they are Matched. as they are then
digesting the yolk of the egg, which
constitutes their food, and acquiring
strength to run about. When they be-
gin to peck, they should be ted with
soft food and small grain. Unquestion-
ably the best soft food is an an egg beaten
up with q tablespoonful of milk, and
heated in the oven or by the side of q
fire until II sets into q soft custard.
Chickens fed or partially fed on this
make wonderful progress. If they are
to make large fowls, they must be fed
soon after daylight; if, IS is too often
the case, they are left hungry for three
hours in the morning, they are always
stunted in their growth. They must be
fed the first thing, and, while they are
young, every two or three hours during
the day.

Eating Oranges Politely.

A writer in the Home Journal gives in
struction in the difficult matter of eat
ing an orange without detriment to
hands or napkins:
Always. on a southern gentleman's
table, the desert of oranges is furnished
with small silver fruit knives and
spoons. The orange is held in the nap
kin-just as you hold an egg-and with
the slender point of the knife a circular
incision is carefully made in the stem
end of the orange, and the stem core is
nicely cut out, leaving an oriice large
enough to admit an egg spoon. The
orange is held an eaten then, just as
gourmands eat an egg, in its own shell !;
and the skill and grace with which this
is done-that is, without soiling the
fingers or napkin-are, as in the same
process with the egg, a test Of good
breeding. I have. known the most in
expert persons to master the few diff
culties in the way after two or three
efforts; and their satisfaction was an
infinitely pleasant sight. To hostesses
who like to have their tables preserve in
some degree, at the close of an enter
tainment, the beauty which dazzied the
guests upon entering, this method is
most desirable. Servants-let me put
in q plea for those silent ones whose in
terests are seldom regarded-are spared
the tedious duty of fragments; and
guests who look with dismay at this
tempting apple of Hesperides, can thus
enjoy it as they never did before. Only
the delicious nectar of the fruit is eaten,
with the more delicate pulp; the tough
fibre-of which indeed, there is very lit
tie in an orange plucked from the tree
under its own skies-being left in the
shell.

Esr1y Maturing Corn.

1t is growing conviction among tbs
farmers in the districts infested by grass
hoppers, that it is all important that
they now secure an early ripening vari-
ETY. Of corn which can be planted as late
as the last of June and yet mature. We
are receiving constant inquiries for such
q variety of corn. We are aware that
many varieties have been extensively
advertised that have proved to be worth
less. The only safe way, therefore, to
secure seed, is to order it from RESPONSE
BILE parties, who will guarantee it to be
true to name. The seedsmen in this city
have an early yellow, six weeks corn and
other varieties. Then there is the early
Canada, Ohio Dent, the Early Dent,
Dutton, Sanford. Cooley. King Philip,
beside others that we cannot recall to
memory. According to experiments
made by Prof. Daniels at the State Uni
versity Of Wisconsin in 1871. the Early
Dent-probably the Ohio Dent-ripened
in los days, the Dutton in Ill days, and
the Sanford in 135 days. The early RI
pening varieties should be obtained from
the north and northeast. We do not,
however, find any early field corn adver-
tised in the agricultural papers in the
sections of country named. Those who
are good authority on the grasshopper
question assert that the best way is to
plant just as if no grasshoppers we're
present, and cultivate vigorously, and
keep the surface of the soil in loose
and friable condition. They assert that
if this is done, the grasshoppers will soon
vacate the premises and fair crop will
be the result.-Rurat World.

MISSOURI KANSAS q TEXAS
RAILWAY.

The completion of the great iron
bridge over the Missouri river at Boon
vile, enables this popular line to offer
still better facilities for the business be-
tween the Northeast and the great South
west.
Two daily trains will be run between
Hannibal and points in the great Neosho
valley. in direct connection with all lines.
Also, two daily trains between st. Louis
and points in Southern Kansas.
For the Texas trade, new and better
facilities are offered. The rates have
been greatly reduced, and arrangements
have been made whereby through Pull
man palace sleeping cars are run from
Chicago, Quincy, Hannibal and st.
Louis, to Galveston, without change,
passing through the finest portion of
Southwest Missouri, Southern Kansas,
and Indian Nation. and the most desira-
BILE portion of Texas.
Any one contemplating a trip to
Southern Kansas, the Indian Nation or
Texas, should address Thomas Dorwin,
general passenger agent, Sedalia, Mo-,
for correct map, with time tables, rates
of fare &c.

PLANT WALNUTs.-As an illustration
of the increasing value of walnut lum-
ber, the indianapolis Journal notes that
the standing walnut trees on half Sec
tion of land in Miami county, Indiana,
were sold for $4,000. There is a large
amount of other timber on the tract,
which is not included, only the walnut
timber being sold. Walnut timber is
coming more into use throughout this
country and Europe, and at present a
very large business is done in preparing
and shipping it in Indiana. An
exchange says that every person should
plant lot of walnuts about his house
and out-buildings, corrals, about his
farm and in ravines. Hundreds could
be planted in few hours, and without
further care they would increase steadily
in in value, year by year. Try it. Of
course they would grow more rapidly if
cultivated, but even without it they
would grow.

The Penalty Of Catching Cold.

We venture to question the necessity
of the greater part of the illness that
arises from colds Why should people
have colds at all? Unlike many other
diseases it is well understood how they
arise: al the conditions and causes that
produce colds are continually pointed
out by physicians; they are easily meas
ured and recognized, and can as easily
be guarded against. All that is requir-
ed is due forethought and caution-fore-
thought and caution that extend to the
condition of the atmosphere in the house
the kind of heat used for warming the
rooms, the prevalence of draughts, the
clothing worn at home and abroad, the
precautions against sudden changes of
weather, the maintenance of warm and
dry feet, the protection of the lungs and
other delicate or susceptible parts of the
body; all of which are essentially con-
trollable things with every one possess
ing the ordinary faculties, and endowed
with the average share of good sense. If
it were penal eaense to take cold; if a
cough arising from .houghtless exposure
were punished by a weeks imprison-
ment; if getting sick because of mere
incapacity to measure conditions and
arrange precautions were always follow
ed by legal penalty and a loss of re-
spectability-catching cold would soon
be among the "lost arts" There is no
use of having judgment if we do not ex-
ercise it; no use of brains if we cannot
employ forethought in SO simple thing
as this. In nine colds out of ten the
victim has been too stupid to take ad-
vantage of former experience, too torpid
to understand the nature or necessity of
preventive measures, and too dull to de-
tect the palpable circumstances out of
which the cold has come. A child learns
not to fall down stairs after two or three
experiences of the kind; not to burn his
fingers in the crate after testing the
quality of hot Goals and hot iron; but
adults 60 OF getting colds from causes
that repeat former blunders with a per-
versity that is simply amazing.-Apple-
toms journal.
