Apples.

There is scarcely an article of vege.
table food more widely useful and
more universally liked than the apple,
Why every farmer has not an apple
orchard where the trees will grow at
all is one of the mysteries. Let every
family, in autumn, lay in from two
TO ten, or more, barrels, and it will be
TO them the most economical invest
ment in the whole range of culinaries.
A raw, mellow apple is digested in an
hour and half, whilst boiled cabbage
requires five hours. The most health
full dessert which can be placed on the
table is baked apple. Ii taken freely
at breakfast, with coarse bread and
butter, without meat or flesh of any
kind, it has an admirable effect on the
general system, often removing con-
stipation. correcting acidities, and
cooling off febrile conditions more
effectualIy than the most approved
medicines. If families could be in.
duced to substitute the apple-sound,
ripe and luscious-for the pies, cakes,
candies and other sweetmeats with
which their children are too often in-
discreetly stuffed, there would be a
diminution of doctors bill sufficient,
in single year, to lay in a stock of
this delicious fruit for whole seasons
use.
This was :he opinion of Professor
Farraday as to the use of this fine
fruit.-Er.

The Grange--Its Position.

A correspondent of one Of our ex-
changes writes to the editor to know
whether it would be proper for
Oranges TO hold meeting to consult
over political matters and candidates,
after the regular business of the
Grange has been done and the Grange
adjourned.
Now, we are somewhat surprised
that any one should be in doubt on
that subject. mo politics in the
Grange" is a cornerstone of the Or
der, and it has ever been the policy Of
those in authority to jealousy guard
it against the introduction of politics.
In our opinion it would be detriment-
al to the best interests of the Grange
to permit anything that might be con-
strued into an appearance of taking
sides on political questions,o or express
ing preference for candidates, TO oc-
cur in any of its meetings. The great
est possible latitude IS allowed to
members in reference to their political
views, and the extreme southern Dem
ocrat and the northern Republican
may meet in the same Grange, cordi-
ally taking each other by the hand,
feeling that they are really and truly
brethren. 1t is the opinion of many
of those best posted upon the subject
that the Grange movement has done
more to heal the breach between the
north and south, and restore conf
dence between the people Of the diff
ferent sections than all other in1u-
ences put together, and we do not
doubt it.
| AT this, the beginning of political
campaign, which will doubtless be one
of the most heated that we have eX-
perienced in recent years, does it not
become those who are truly loyal to
the Order to see to it that nothing of
political character is introduced in
any Of its meetings? Such course
could not be of any great service to
the cause advocated, and would react
upon the Grange with the most fatal
results.
When person becomes Patron he
surrenders none of his political senti-
ments; but whatever views he may
hold, he holds as a private citizen and
not as Patron. Patrons haye duties
to perform, but those duties are the
same that lie in the path of every hon
est, conscientious and industrious
American citizen who is following the
business Of farming, and which he
will not neglect, whether he is a MEM
per of the Grange or not. a true Pa
iron will never seek to introduce poll
ties into the Grange.

The Grange.


In the community at large, and even
among men of great intellect, there
seems to be serious misconception of
the Grange movement. Many suppose
that il is the sworn duty of the Pa
irons Of Husbandry, men and women,
to wage war Oh the merchants and
mall'tradesmen. Nothing can be more
erroneous. Members of the Grange
are neither idiots nor unlearned fools.
The Grange organization has devel-
oped the fact that the very highest or
der of talent, the profoundest learning
and the most solid craftsmanship is
among the Patrons. Men of every
calling and profession, when they have
gathered wisdom or grown weary in
their own peculiar business, seek re-
pose and recreation in the delights of
farm. In every Grange, therefore,
will be found men well versed in the
laws of political economy, and no one
is so ignorant as not to know that hu-
man society is made up of necessary
trades and all are SO interviewer that
each is a necessity E1.
The Wichita city eagle. [volume] (Wichita, Kan.) 1872-1883, 1876-06-08
Grange Items.

There is a clause in the Grange con-
stitution that one member of the Or.
der shall not go TO law with another
member until the question shall be sub
mitted TO the Grange court. We trust
that this rule will be enforced i'll every
subordinate Grange. This clause dur
ing the year 1875, saved the Patrons OF
Kentucky 100000 by preventing liti-
CATION. Every subordinate Grange
should have the members of the
Grange court elected, and it should be
the duty of that court to do all in their
power to prevent litigation among
their members. This clause has pre-
vented neighbors from going to law,
kept them friends, and been blessing
to them and their families.-SOutherR

Orchards.

The Michigan Farmer finds its read
ers complaining of their orchards be-
ing in an unsatisfactory condition, and
tells them that they viii continue so
until they are properly cultivated.
The Farmer then proceeds to explain
its views as to what proper orchard
cultivation means. The article is too
long for insertion here, but we Will
give the leading points. Cultivation
means breaking up of the crust and
a loosening of the hide bound earth.
Ii means fall blowing; it means manur-
ing with lime or wood ashes, compost
ing with turf ashes and stable manure;
it means mulching and drawing: it
means pasturing with swine; and when
the farmer has realized all this and put
it into practice, he will not find so
much room for complaining Of the
state his orchard is in.-Ec.

Mutilating Fruit Trees.

OF all the blunders that the common
farmer makes with trees, none is SO
common or SO hurtful, as the practice
of cutting off lower limbs. All over
the country nothing is more common
than TO see big limbs cut off near the
body of the tree. This is sin against
nature. The very limbs necessary to
protect the tree from wind and sun arc
cut away. But the greatest injury is
the rotting-toe big to heal over, and
kept moist by the growing tree, the
limb must rot, and the rotting goes to
the heart and hurts the whole tree

Fruit VS.. Malaria.

We find opp, 1922 in the revised edi-
ton of 1.-THE Fruit Culturist," 81. j.
Thomas) the following interesting
note:
Presidents in the western States and
other regions where interinittents and
similar diseases result from malaria,
state that regular supply of ripe,
homegrown fruit, is almost sure
preventive. Eat the fruit only when
fully ripe, and eat only moderate
quantities at time, and little need be
feared. The residents of such regions
should, therefore, not omit the earliest
opportunity for supply. Plant large
quantities of Strawberries for early
summer-they will bear abundantly a
wear from the time they become estab-
lished. Plant many currant bushes
for these are most healthy aud excel,
lent fruit-very maryland if III
abundance, will last through all the
hottest parts of the summer. The
Doolittle and Orange raspberries arc
profuse bearers-the former very
hardy, the latter generally SO, but
should be laid down and covered with
and inch or two of earth for winter
The Rochelle blackberry, il pinchec
in when three or four feet high about
mid-summer), will bear abundantly,
and prove harder than if the cane:
run up without control.
"The Delaware, Clinton and Con
cord grapes are early and hardy and
will bear in two or three years from
transplanting. Dwarf apples, on the
Paradise and Doucin stock, viii
flourish in any locality, and begin te
bear profusely in three or four years
and on the Paradise stock often in two
years. Some varieties bear early Oh
common stock; such, for example, as
the Dyer, Lowell, Early Strawberry
Sops of Wine, 0ldcnburgh, Porter
Belmont Jonathan, etc. 4; but these viii
of course, bear much sooner as dwarfs
The Bartlett, Washington, Julienne
Flemish Beauty, Beurre dAmali, Onon'
dago, Howell and Seckel pears, pro-
duce early as standards, and the Lou
Use Bonnie of Jersey as dwarf. Hough'
toms gooseberry grows with great Wig
or, is very hardy, and III two or three
years affords almost solid masses Of
berries in the branches. Such fruit a;
the above should be planted out on ev.
cry new place, as indispensable to health
as well as TO comfort and economy
and emigrants to now countries should
take a supply with them as the best
medicine chest they can provide"

The neatest housekeeper will be
troubled with flies this summer, but
these troublesome insects may be in a
measure kept "without the gates" if
the proper means are adopted in sea-
son. 1t is great deal easier keeping
them out than TO contend with once in
the house. The best precautions are
to secure frames for windows and
doors, cover them with gauze, wire or
mosquito bars, and have the door
frames fitted with rubber attachments
SO that they will swing together with
out attention. One might think where
an outer door was used very much it
would be disagreeable to have the both
er of this screen, but it will not COM
pare with the satisfaction of having
the flies on the outer side of it.
