TO gather all information in rolor.

can DO conducted to bottor advan.

farmers Of the community u lively
emulation TO excel tho other in the
production OF the bost crops, as well

make their meetings too formal in
stead Of letting them be, as they

character. The ablest critics, and
often the best informed men, will
persistchtly refuse to say anything.
Nevertheless, when the meeting is
over their incidental remarks, when
convcrsing with their neighbors,
show n remarkably clear compre-
hension Of the questions discussed.
The presiding officer of the meeting
should take special pains to call ont
those very men who are determined
not to talk. The young should be
urged to express their views. This
would have the effect of stimulating
them to the investigation of the
questions under discussion. If this
method was adopted, nucleus of
knowledge and enthusiasm would
at once be created, which would be
productive of the best results as II
method of instruction, for it would
tond to gather together floating
fragments of experience and observ-
alton, and, like the growing crystal,
build them up into its own sub
stance, and make them part of its
own life. The great aim of each
member should be to infuse some
fire and life into these meetings, for
as soon as this is done increased

suit. One thing farmers should

Thoughts for Patrons.

Patrons should know each other
better, trust each other more, and
help each other to make life'5 bur-
dens lighter. We want more and
better reading, more information on
subjects that contribute directly to
our present welfare. We cannot
estimate the fund OF valuable
information that may be gained and
dispensed by the opportunities the
order affords.
To make the grange profitable or
available, it must be regularly at.
tended by its members. TO secure
this attendance it must be made in.
teresting enough and profitable
enough to make its members come
out because they like to come.
Patrons cannot afford To be so
busy in producing something for
somebody else to set price upon,
as to give no thought to the situa,
ton.
The grange teaches industry
economy, the freest exertion Of mind
and body, with temperance, justice,
and manly independence-all these
are taught in every well conducted
grange. Herein consists it's value
and excellence. 1t develops and
keeps in steady action all the moral
influences which proceed from the
lawful exercise of the above prin-
ciples. Economy, industry and
temperance in all things must lead
to health, happiness and virtue.
These are some of the things the
grange teaches Southern Plant

With the month of April is asso.
ciated the derivation and dissemin-
alton in q formal and official manner
of the designation of Protestant.
The emperor Charles the Fifth called
n diet at Spires in 1929, to request
aid from the German princes against
the Turks, and to devise means for
alIaying disputes growing out of
Luther rebellion against Catholic,
ism. The diet condemned the re-
formers, and issued decree in supp
port of the doctrines of the ancient
church. Against this decree six
Lutheran princes and the deputies
of thirteen towns of the empire
formally protested on April II, 1880.
From this act the designation of
Protestant, which was given to the
followers of Luther, is derived. The
Calvinists were subsequently in
cluded, and the title became general
for all the sects outside the original
Christian church. The six protest
ing princes were John and George,
the electors of Saxony and Braden-
burg Ernest and Francis, the two
dukes of Lunenburg the landgravo
Of Hesse, and the prince of Anhalt.

.FistuIa OF the wiihers.

The symptoms of the early stage
that is, before fistula is estab-
lished-are merely an enlargement
of the ends of the spinous processes,
accompanied by heat and tenderness;
but this goes on until an abcess
forms, which may be known to the
touch. As soon as this is made out
an opening should be made as low
as possible on the right side, taking
care that it will allow all the matter
to run out as fast as it forms. When
an actual fistula has been estab-
lished. and the matter points before
or behind tho shoulder blade, suffi-
GENTLY large opening should at
once be made, avoiding any pouch
below that will permit any accumu-
lation. In very many cases the
establishment of this dependent
opening will alone suffice to effect a
cure. In cases of long standing a
stimulant must be applied to the
interior of the fistula This may
be effected by seaton or by means
of injections composed of chloride
of zinc, one drachm, diluted with a
pint of water. This should be in
jected into every part of tho sinus

Ex-Governor English's Opinion o

As chance would have it, we were

without his knowing from whence
we came, or the profession VIC be-
longed to, we had the pleasure Of
drawing him into the following little
interview:
observation-disclosures, has
your trip through Texas been a
pleasant one?"
Governor English at could not
have been more so. The climate SC
delightful, the scenery SO beautiful
and the people the most hospitable
of any | have ever met in my whole
experience. In fact, they are SC
different from what we had beel led
to expect, that | can hardly realize
that we are in Texas"

welcome everybody who will come
here to better their condition, re-
CARELESS of any political association.
1t is very rare thing for them tc
refer to mans politics not hall
so much as we in New England do
Correspondent-"What part Of
the state do you like bcst?"
Governor English-"That places
me in Pandora's box. | like it all
every foot of it. AS | visit different
parts, they seem more beautiful than
the sections left, until am perfectly
amazed, and know not where tc
select as the finest, although fol
emigrants fro;n the northern states
the northern part of Texas seems
preferable. There they can raise
wheat, corn, oats, potatoes and such
other grain as the northern farmers
understand and are accustomed to
raising"
Correspondent-"From what you
have seen, do you think the pros
poets of Texas for the future prom.
ising or otherwise ?"
Governor English-"A most glo
rious future, richer in promise than
that of any other state in the union
At the last census the state had only
little over eight hundred thousand
people; now they claim more than
twelve hundred thousand, and cal.
culate on having two millions at the
next census, and at least five million
people in 1900. For my part l can
not see how any ordinary farmer OF
mechanic can help lettering his con-
dition by coming to Texas"

The Eucalyptus Tree I'm California.

The Los Angeles Herald records
the fact that company has been
formed in that city for the purpose
of reising eucalyptus trees for fuel
and manufacturing purposes. Two
hundred acres Of land have been
secured within mile, ON which Gu
calyptus trees only four and half
years old from seed are now grow.
ing, which measure sixteen inches
in diameter, and are forty feet high.
1t is estimated that each of these
trees are worth one dollar for fuel,
and more for manufacturing pur-
poses. Foresters calculate that six
hundred Of these trees can be grown
to the acre, and it requires no great
calculation to show how profitable
such q business may be made. The
company organized in Los Angeles
purpose purchasing land at thirty
dollars per acre, and the cost Of seed,
plant, etc, will probably average
twenty-five cents per tree. The
total for the six hundred trees and
acre of land would thus reach about
one hundred and eighty dollars
say two hundred dollars. At the
end of four years, supposing the
timber to succeed as the average do,
the timber will be worth six hun
dred dollars. And as these trees
stump and sprout rapidly, another
such yield of timber may be ex'
pected in four years more. Fuel, as
is known, is very expensive in all
the great valleys in that state. But
with the eucalyptus tree the farmers
seem 10 have the remedy in their
own hands, beyond which it affords
an opportunity of securing an in

manufacturing purposes.

accessory ability to perform lite's

quite inferior to Il knowledge OF

lives forty years before he knows
how to eat " True enough, accord
