The National Grange.

We have waited two weeks to see il
some one had not State pride enough
10 correct some OF the injurious and
glaringly untrue statements made by
the National Grange relative to Iowa
finances ana fowa misfortunes. The
first statement by the National Grange,
thai the orderof Patrons of Husbandry
was grossly mismanaged in this State
for several years, is lamentably true.
And here is where all our trouble and
embarrassment came from. Had we
had men at the front of the order with
clear heads and honest hearts, to-day
We would he sound, prosperous and
inyincible. Fancy men, with selfish
purpose. have led Us to bankruptcy.
Hence we have been, with an annual
income Of from S20.0oO TO $4,000, II
constant, keggar at the door of the Ma
tional Grange. And by pitifully rep.
resenting Iowa as hopelessly bankrupt,
our patriarch- have been able I" beg

tinued, to-wit:

ferers tof which they never re

The National Grange says the Iowa
Grange entered largely into manufac-
turing implements, beneficial to the
order in the State, and in the United
States, disastrous to the finances of
the State Grange"
Yes, they manufactured l40 harvest
ers, at a cost OF Sl25 each, and sold
them for $40 each, cash down. But
''the state Grange also spent 5000 for
the grasshopper sufferers Not u
word of truth. The National Grange
granted to us S., 900 for that purpose,
but not cent Of it ever went to the
sufferers. Nor did cent of the SIS 900
come from the Treasury of the state
Grange, but from contributions from
patrons and others alike. But this
sacred 5000 granted for charitable
purposes, went to pay the extravagant
salaries and expenses of those who in
tended the order to make them rich.
But the National Grange says one
fourth of the State ha. been this year
devastated by grasshoppers, when in
truth not one-twentieth of the State
has been devastated. Nor have the
floods done half as much damage in
the Southeastern part of the State to
the Patrons as have the mismanage-
ment, high salaries, and recklessness
of the patriarchs of our order in the
State. This representation to get an
other grab from the National Treasury
is gross and infamous slander upon
our State, and the ability of our pa
irons. 1t Is gross Misrepresentation
Of the cause of our troubles and viii
lainous account of what was done
with our own funds. We have no OBJ
lection to having n gift from the Ma
tional Grange, but we do not want
them to say to u-: There, you lousy
beggar, is 81 $3.50, which hope will
make you respectable enough to asso-
ciate with us. Walk in"
We are as well satisfied Is if he had
told us, that the Hon. o. II. p. Bu-
chanan, the present Master, never
furnished these statements for the Ma
tional Grange. depart

The Old Farm lsMsc.


The old farm gate hangs sasging down
On rusty hinges, bent and brown:
lts latch Is gone. and here and there
1t shows rude traces OF repair.
The old farm gate has seen. each year,
The blossoms bloom and disappear;
The bright green leaves of spring unfold
And turn to Autumn's red and gold.
The children have upon il clung.
And In and out in rapture swung,
When their young hearts were good and
pure
When hope was fair and faith wa. sure.
Beside that gate have lovers true,
Told the story, ever new;
Have made their vows; have dreamed OF
bliss,
And sealed each promise with kiss.
The old farm gate hss opened wide
To welcome home the new made bride,
When lilies bi"ntned and locusts fair
With their sweet fragrance filed the air.
The gate, with rusty weight and chain.
Has closed upon the solemn train
That bore her lifcless form away,
Upon . dreary Autums day
The lichens gray and nosses green
Upon the rotting posts are seen;
Initials, carved with youthful skill,
Long years ago, are on it still!
Yet dearer to me above all things,
By reasons of the thoughts it brings,
10 that old gate, now sagging down,
On rusty hinges bent and brown.

1t was only "a few years ago that hog
breeders were vieing with each other
for the greatest weight of carcass; but
this is now all changed. Hogs that
will weigh five hundred pounds are
sold at less price per pound than
those of two hundred and fifty and
three hundred pounds. The market
in England has long favored light
weights. London is chiefly supplied
with pigs of less than two hundred
weight. And this tendency of the
market to pigs well fatted but of small
weight is just what the farmer should
encourage, for it is exactly in the line
of his interest. 1t costs more to make
the second hundred pounds of a pig
than the first, and still more to make
the third hundred pounds, and so
every pound added becomes more
expensive. Young hogs, well fatted,
are the best for the market, and will
pay the farmer the best.

The officer said she could. As she
was passing the corridor, she caught

the bars. He was unshaven and hag-
gard, and his red eve. told the cause
of his being there.
"Why, Jim.'
The man glanced up He brushed
his hand across his eyes, looked at her
again, and it is to his credit that his
voice trembled, when he said: '1iow

then Strengthened up and Went direct

owe?" she asked.
Three dollars and forty cents
The woman took from her pocket a
solitary five dollar bill, and paid the
fine without a murmur The door
