THE CHANGERS.

THE CHANGERS.
A "Grange Land and immigration
company" has commenced operations in
Arkansas.
The directors of the grange ware
house at Delavan, Wis, pronounce the
reports of extravaganza in its manage
malicious SANDER.
It was shown at the Iowa state grange
that there were now 1900 oranges In
that state, an increase over last year of
1872, and that 100 smaller oranges have
been consolidated with others.
In May, 1865, tho first grange was or
ganized at Was arlington City. The next
was that st st. Paul, Minnesota, six
years ago. Now there are more thsn
q. 900 oranges, with membership Of
10000
Cherokee county council, Texas, urges
patrons everywhere IN the cotton grow
ing states to ascertain, as soon as the
ginning season is over, how much cot
ton has been put up at each gin, and re-
port the statistics to the national
grange, in order to put it out of the
power of spectators to control the
price of cotton to suit themselves,
The Monthly Bulletin of the national
grange, for December 1, says that the
increase of new oranges for November
was 364, and the total number organized
up TO that time was q, 572. The Bulle-
tin also gives the times of meetings of
the state oranges yet to be held, as fol-

Hitherto it has been the custom to
consult only in a very partial degree
the wishes or necessities of the farmer
in the matter of political contests, but,
thanks to the grange movement, a bet
ter day has dawned, as will be seen by
the following which we copy from a re-
cent issue of the Lexington Daily
Press 1--WE have no disposition to find
fault with the (Ky.) state central COM
mittee, believing it to be COM
posed of gentlemen anxious to do what
is best for the people of the state gen
orally, and not unmindfnl of the inter
ests of the democratic party but we
think the objection of the Courier
Journal to the time set for the calling
of the gubernatorial convention is well
taken. It is a pity to keep the candi-
dates In agony for quite so long q time !;
butt the gravest objection is, that in May
the farmers viii be more busy han in
the previous months, and SO will have
much difficulty in attending the con-
ventiOn. We think it will be admit
ted that the farmers have an interest in
the next gabernatorial nomination, and
viii take an active part in It. If any
one IS foolish enough not to believe it,
he will have his eyes opened absut the
time the convention meets. "-EGTn9eT's
Home Journal.
A lady of Walnut Creek (Kansas)
grange put rod in pickle for the men
some of whom are not slow TO urge
the women to more active participation
in grange work-and here is one of her
cuts '' There has been q great deal
said in the grange about women not do
ing their part in working or talking.
As for work the women do more than
the men, for at home they have the
work to do IN the house, and large share
of the mems work to do, such as plant
ing corn and setting out hedge and, if
they have walk or a garden, I am sure
they have tObuild them, and are laughed
at about the work. In fact, the farm
er's wives and daughters do all kinds of
work, except to plow, and they can't
hold the plow As to talking, the men
have so much to say that when they get
done there is no time for us, and We
have to write little pitiful thing called
an essay, and which they often ask to see,
and Their sAey viii put it IN their coat
pocket and >SG1e it, if they can, for they
know it is better than they can do.
The journals inimical to the Patrons
of Husbandry let no chance pass to adj
vertise the shortcomings in an individ-
uaI or an officer here and there. The
wonder really is that so extensive an
organization should have escaped with
SO little of fraudulent endeavor. In
relation to the defalcation of the state
treasurer, Quisenberry, of Missouri,
the executive committee, which has
lately closed its session, has deposed
the defaulting officer; has taken mort
cages upon everything he has got, and
claim that they will eventually recover
ali the money which had gone into his
hands-about $40, 900. There will be
no criminal prosecution, but the terms
they have dictated to Quisenberry Will
leave him penniless. The chairman of
the committee states that during the
week they have contracted with eastern
manufacturers for a great quantity and
variety of farming machines and imple-
ments at wholesale prices for the use of
the Missouri patrons next spring
