GRANGERs MAKE YOUR FARMS SELF SUSTAINING -
T. ]. Smith, Master Of the Georgia State Grange,
recently gave utterance to the following:
find the Patrons buckling on their armor
everywhere go, putting themselves into line for
an earnest and active move, sowing largely of
small grain, and find an anxiety among the
Grangers TO add wide plank TO our platform,
one that all Changers can stand on, namely, no
member is worthy of fellowship who does not
make his farm selfsustaining. They advocate the
decapitatien of all members, after next crop, that
do not come up to this standard they also i'm
press, earnestly, an inspection of all the crops of
all the members Of the Grange, either BY COM
mittee of each subordinate Grange, or a commit
tee of the whole Grange. This will work

Many people who contemplate moving to the
Northwest are not aware that thousands of acres
Of the richest governmemsnt lands, near line OF
railway too, may be had by simple accupying
them, under the homestead or Tres-planting Act,
or of the railroad companies on almost as easy
conditions. The st. Paul and Pacific Railroad
penetrates one of the richest parts of the State,
and is doing great work in opening up to set
tlement those vast prairies and woodlands, fur
nishing land and homes to thousands Of settlers
almost without price, certainly requiring very lit
tie ready money. All the time required for pay
ment is given, and at lew rate efinterest One
Of the bjections-perhaps the only one-to hab-
itation On the prairies west Of the timber belts
has been that they are without timber. This
disadvantage is being overcome by planting trees
An enterprise which was initiated in that Sec
ton by President Becker, and is now under the
supervision Of Hon. L. B. Hodges, who introduc-
ed tree-planting into the State twenty-five years
age, and has demonstrated its entire feasibility
by repeated experiments. 1t was commenced
along this railway in 1870 for the primary pur-
pose Of creating snowbreak, the trees being set
in rows on either side of the track in places
NEST liable to drift two rows to form more ef-
fectivs break. The experiment has proved de-
cidsd success, and the work is now prosecuted
with vigor. This company has set out over A,
600, ,o0o trees; 100000 have been planted
on the treeless prairies of the State. Mr. Becker,
to encourage private enterprise, opened farm on
the prairies, and is planting on a large scale at
his own expense. Many kinds of trees grow
very rapidly-often fifty to sixty feet high, and
twenty-five to thirty inches in diameter, in from
fifteen to twenty years time; hard woods, six 10
eight inches in diameter, in from seven to ten
years time. 1t is claimed by Mr.. Hodges that
trees can be planted at cost Of less than one
third Of a cent each the first year. This device
will prevent the snow drifting on the track, sup
ply timber and fuel for the use of the road, be.
sides enhancing the aesthetic efect.-L. W.

CURTAINS, CHEAP YET TAsrEFuL.-Crape, which
falls in folds like the drapery of Greek statues,
is the most artistic curtaining possible, but too
costly for republican wear. The housskeeper re-
ports seeing, lately, curtains suspended on big
rings and swinging in the sunshine, as soft in
their rich and heavy folds as Grape, and as pleas
antly streaked and cloudsd in transmitting light.
These curtains were made of Russia crash tow
cling, costing 8 few cents yard. Oneof the most
agreeable materials for curtaining windows is
coarse unblesched cotton. The irregularity of
the thread and the rOughness of the surface give
its seft folds much the charm of the Russia crash
and its yellowish hue warns the light of coel
north windows almost to the glow of sunshine
On the other hand, the tints of daylight passing

must keep well posted. 1t is great matter of

and magazines. Not only his county paper,
which tells him of affairs about home, bat also
one of the great dsilies which lets him look right

devoted to agriculture should find access to his

year will amply repay the cost OF ofsubscriptiop.
