A RECENT number of the Chicago
Times says pretty definite idea of the
Patrons of Husbandry may be obtained
from the following figures: The Grange
has some twenty State purchasing agencies
at least, three of which do an annual bust
ness of $500, 900. During the past year it
has had in active operation five Grange
Banking Associations, one of which Cat San
Francisco has a capital of $4,000 of
which $500, 900 was paid in; five steam
boats or packet lines; thirty manufactur
ing associations, whose capital ranges
from 100000 to $5O0,000; fifty associa-
tons for shipping goods and shipping
purposes; thirty-two grain elevators; six
teen grist-mills, one Of which produces
100 barrels of flour per day; twenty
two warehouses for storing goods;
three tanneries and six sn itheries. These
are distinctly Grange enterprises, start
ed with capital contributed by members
of the Order, managed by them, and pro-
ducing for their benefit. In addition
there have been established 160 Grange
stores to furnish members with supplies
at wholesale prices, plus freight and
customers who are stock
holders dividing the profits. The Order
has dedicated IA halls, built or bought
to serve as places of meeting, one of
which cost 1000.
