The MISSOURI State Grange has a balance
of nearly $4,000 in the Treasury.
The California State Grange is out of debt
and report 172 Subordinate Oranges with
a membership Of 1866.
Several hundred Patrons from the vicinity
Of London, Can, are next week to make
an excursion to the Centennial.
A. B. Smedley, Worthy Lecturer of the
National Grange, will lecture in eleven
counties in Illinois during the month of Oc-
tober.
The Son Of the Soil says /: While but few
new Oranges have been organized in Louisi-
ana this year, the Order is in a healthy condi-
ton. The subordinate Oranges have been
prompt in remitting their dues, and much
good will be done by the Patrons.
The Patrons of Grove Lake Grange.
Minnesota, recently passed a series ofresolu-
tons on the grasshopper question, asking
Congress to take measures to exterminate
them, and the State Legislature to grant a
bounty tor killing grasshoppers in the State
and requesting all Oranges in the State to
pass similar resolutions. The Governor of
the State was also petitioned to provide iii
some way for those already made destitute
by the recent visitation.
Every member of every grange in the
country should now attend every grange
meeting. All will feel the better for attend
ing. The grange is an excellent school for
the farmer, and punctual attendance is a du-
ty. Members should not be drones. but
workers. They should takesomething use
ful to the grange at every meeting. It is
only by prompt and punctual attendance
that a proper interest can be kept up, and
great benefit be derived from the ORDER
Cotnan's Rural World.
We are glad to learn that Patrons are
leaving the old fogy system pursued by
their fathers and grandfathers, and are
taking q position in the front ranks of prog
ress. Agriculture Is the foundation Of the
worlds wealth, and the different nations are
establishing colleges and bureaus that ex-
penments may forward the great cause and
farming be conducted upon scientific prin-
clples' SO that the greatest production with
Tue least labor and expense and the highest
state OF cultivation may be reached.

THE GRANGE IN MINNESOTA.
late number Of the Farmers Unio

THE GkANGE In MINNESOTA,
A late number of the Farmers Uuio,
says:
In spite of the predictions of it's enemies,
the subordinate oranges of Minnesota are,
as a whole, in better condition to-day than
they We're ayear ago. The secretary books
show that up to date, the amount of dues
received is greater by $1,000 than last year
at the same time. Further than this, all
the obligations of the grange incurred by
the state agent, Bro. Denman's failure, have
been met during this time, and the order
is out of debt. Better still, the Worthy
Master informs us that although many
names have been dropped from the books,
yet still there is a constant accession of a
new and better class Of membership. Co
operative stores are being organized all
over the state as are also county oranges.
and the whole organization is becoming
soliditied and unified, and daily arriving to a
better understanding of the work before it.
Master Adams says: .Our state agency
has not been a success" He calls attention
to the necessity of members reading more
and taking the best agricultural and grange
papers.
HE Patrons Gazette says: In u eager
ness to reform abuses, and to relieve our
selves from the exactions of a great army of
non-producers, who wiring their wealth
from the productions which they handle, we
are somewhat apt to forget that the most
important object to be attained by our or
der is the improvement OF agriculturists. It
is for mutual benefits and assistance that the
Patrons of Husbandry combined and cheap
ening the cost Of transportation of supplies
which cannot be produced upon the farm is
only a small comparatively unimportant
part of the great work to be accomplished.
The pecuniary profit will be much greater
it we succeed in raising ten bushels more

FARMING AND THE GRANGE.

We have a right as farmers to be proud OF
our business. We should love it. AS is Of
ten said we raise the food for all classes. The
poor and the rich, the lowly and the arts
~tocratic have to come to us for their daily
food, and yet as Independent as our position
as producers would seem to make us, we
are dependent in too many ways OH other
classes. We are led by them. We are not
sufficiently awake to our own interests. We
do not i%ntelligently manage even our sales
and purchases. We have to ask the buyer
what our produce is worth having exhausted
ourselves in its production. Our Grange is
dong a good work for us in this respect. 1t
teaches us valuable lessons, showing us the
Importance Of study and thought and the
need of more care in the business part of
our occupation. Blu beyond this the
Grange pays lis surely in furnishing lis re-
creation and amusement and opportunities
for social intercourse. The young folks have
happy times here and we should be giad of
it, and not forget that we ourselves were
young once.
But more Of farming. I have been sur
prlsed to hear it so often said that farming
don't pay. Besides the money returns we
have comforts and pleasures which should
not be lost sight of. We have our horses
and carriages, perhaps they are not the nj
cest, still we find them convenient and use
them in visits to friends, and in taking pleas
ant rides Of which our ooped-up city friends
are deprived. We are able to produce many
Injuries which we could not afford in city
living. Our fruits are fresh from the trees
and in abundance. Our butter and cream
and milk we can eat with a relish. 1t is
pure and good. Chickens and eggs are lux
uries within our reach. We may make our
homes pleasant and need not be cramped for
garden room nor a place for our flowers. I
love to cultivate flowers, and many times
though weary from other labors, have gone
at work in the flower garden soon forgetting
myweariness.
Few men who are honest, Industrious and
sober have failed in farming. We do not
incur the risks which men do in trade. [
believe farming pays, and as / said at the
outset, / like it. 1t is my earnest desire
and ambition that my sons and daughters
shall, in due time, be settled upon farms, for
| believe there is more enjoyment and in
dependence in that occupation than any
other, while there are fewer risks, tempta-
tions and troubles to encounter.-Mrs. 1Hos.
Bennett.

NEVER make any arrangements Or take
any trouble to attend the regular meetings.
If your wife mentions that tomorrow is
grange day, tell her you have got to go and
hunt some cattle, or you've got to use the
team, and if it is too far for her to walk, she
can amuse herself by staying at home and
patching tho children's Clothes. while the
sisters are adniring each others bouquets
and discussing cheap groceries. If the
grange votes during your absence to apply
the grange fund to some good purpose for
the benefit of the grange, do some heavy
growing when you hear OF it, and tell any
member you chance to meet there is a ring
in that--it ought to be looked to. If they
have a paper, never send any contributions
to it, because you cannot then consistently
make fun of the little effort. If you get hold
of any confidential circulars or price lists,
show them to your storekeeper, when he
will Instantly assure that he is selling better
goods at a less price-he will make you be-
lieve it, and then you will be prepared to
enlighten any brother or sister who has been
so foolish as to send away for anything.
When you hear that the grange has surren-
dered its charter, You will be prepared to
say, 81 thought, it would not live, that is
the reason I didn't go; they didn't make it
interesting."-Colofado Grange.
Rocky Mountain husbandman. [volume] (Diamond City, Mont.) 1875-1943, 1876-10-05

Our friends throughout the Territory are
requested to send us short, pointed accounts
of the condition of crops, items in regard to
stock, the grange, news, or anything which
they think would be Of interest. Short
communications may be written ON postal

FIELD AND FIREsIBE.
Apple Tree Borer.

A correspondent OF the New York Tribune
gives his method of Kidding his orchards Of
these pests, as follows: l have waited a long
time for some one to invent an easy way to
kill the apple tree borer; but cLiseI, malct,
knife and wi-c ouly are recommended, and
in nsiug them have had to cut six inch
apple tree Until I can see day light through
it, to kill single borcr. Sig way of getting
at this worm of the dust" is an easy one
and most effectual- cut sumac, or elder,
one foot, more or less. long, punch out II o
Pith, cus ooo chi with a slope, hunt the
borer's hole, clean it out at the entrance with
wire, place the bevelIed end of my tute
against it, take some putty>like clay that 1
get in cur spring baauch, plaster it water
tight around the end next to the tree, fill
with very strong soap suds, and the thing is
done. No matter how crooked the hole is,
or whether it goes up or down, the suds in
the tube vii! force itself to the end I have
tried it two years, aud have not failed once.
OF course any kind of small hollow tube will
do; anything that will make it water>tiehs
will do to plaster it with.
