Women in the Grange.

A sister in the Grange in the Cali
fornia Patron, says: 81 am one of
those who appreciate the Grange;
it's principles being founded on JUS
tice and right. Our sex has not been
overlooked; the same right and priv
legcs are accorded to us that our
brothers enjoy, and we should show
by our acts that we appreciate them.
How can we show it better than by
regular attendance atthe Grange, and
while there, by words and acts, en-
couraging not only our sisters, but
our brothers also? Indeed, the sis
tiers being by nature more enthusias-
tic, can, by cheerful words, in many
ways create a lively interest in the
Grange. And now, sisters, right
here is the field for our work; let us
do all we can by good example to
arouse anew the enthusiasm of our
lukewarm brothers, and sisters too;
let us talk, sing, do anything proper
to make the Grange meetings lively
and interesting. don't like to see
in the Grange all the sisters ranged
on one side of the hall like so many
wall flowers, or wax dummies, with
out saying word or taking any part
in the exercises. don't like it, and
always sit by the side of my husband.
Now, I think we should all do like
wise; and would also suggest that
during the meeting OF the Grange, a
recess be taken, which will give us
chance to become better acquainted
with each other, and to discuss the
many topics of interest to us.

Grange where the brothers are so
lukeworm that they are ready to let
the Grange pass out of existence, if
such should be the case, and they
cannot be brought to realizing
sense of their duty, SO long as there

Our Fresh Beef Export Trade.

To-day the first shipment of fresh
beef from New York to Europe is to
be made by the Abyssinia, which will
take out the dressed carcasses of 100
head of cattle. This beef is chiefly
from prime Western and New York
State stock, and the agents Of the
steamer say it can be placed on the
English market in perfectly sound
condition. 1t is enclosed in re-
frigcrator, the outer portion of which
is constructed Of iron and the inside
lined with wood, and contains pipes
connected with an air-exhausting APP
paratus for the purpose of keeping
the meat free from all the impurities
that might arise from the accumula-
ton of air.
As yet the shipment of fresh beef
as a branch Of our foreign commerce
has not attained position that ad-
mits of an estimate Of the probable
success of the business; but from
what can be learned from shippers
there does not seem to be other than
a few minor obstacles in the way as
regards operations on this side Of the
ocean. The market on the other side
appears to besutficiently large to take
all the beef that can be shipped with
the present allowance of freight
room on the steamer.-Albany (N.

BREEDING FROM YOUNG Sows.-
There is such a thing as breeding
from sows that are quite too young to
produce and rear a litter of pigs.
We have seen sows with pigs
which were only shoats of medium
size. 1t is not commendable prac-
tice to allow any animal to breed be-
fore the carcass is fairly developed.
Every pomologist knows that it is
runious to young fruit trees to allow
them to bear abundantly when all
their energies ought to be conccn-
tratcd towards promoting the devel-
opment of the top.
A farmer of our acquaintance
who has had extensive experience in
breeding swine, states that in his To-
cality it is quite common to breed
from young sows, say fall pigs to
come in with litter of pigs when
one year old. This practice should
be utterly condemned. If continued
in the same family for a few gener-
atoms of SWINE, they will be found
to dwindle down from three to four
hundred pound hogs, to animals that
will weigh only two or three hun
dred pounds. 1t is much better to
keep the sows three years or even
much longer Sows have been kept
some fifteen years to advantage.
Swine are several years in coming to
maturity. 1t is a fact well known,
at least to every Irishman from the
"ouM couutry,' that pigs from old
sows will grow into hogs some thir-
ty or forty pounds heavier than those
from young ones. While shotes are
growing, the sows should not be al
lowed to breed until the live weight
will exceed one hundred and fifty
pounds gross weight.-Practical
Farmer.
