Our Great Aim.

The following article taken from the
last Monthly Talk meets our view so
nearly that we publish it in full;
"In our efforts as Patrons to secure
desirable business results in the
Grange. we must not forget nor over
look the importance of our organiza-
ton when viewed from an education
al. social, or asthetical stand point.
We should not forget that one of the
specific objects of our Order, as set
forth in our declaration Of purposes,is
TO develope better and higher man
hood and womanhood among ourselves
and to enhance the comforts and at
fractions of our homes and strengthen
our attachments to our pursuits
This then is in fact the great aim
and object of the Order which all
would do well to acknowledge. Ad-
hitting the Importance of such bust
ness arrangements as willincrease our
profits, let US at the same time pro-
vide means for mental improvement
and social culture. Our noble Order,
in connection with other labor organi-
cations having similar objects in view,
is destined TO exert powerful infiu-
ence for good that viii be felt, &C
knowledgcd and respected throughout
the land. Mind will yet rule. and vir-
tue and intelligence are to be the con-
trolling influences of our Order just as
sure as il is a mathematical certainty
that two and two make four. To
maintain that we, as farmers as class
must always occupy subordinate po-
sition in the social and intellectual
world, is proposition too absurd to
be seriously entertained. We admit
that there is a great work to be done,
not only by the present generation of
farmers, but succeeding ones if we
would surpass in general information
and refinement those engaged in other
professional pursuits.
"Here and there throughout our vast
country Grange can be found, espe-
cially in wealthy farming communities,
which was organized almost solely on
account Of its intellectual and social
features. These Oranges stand forth
IN admirable contrast to those organ
lied for commercial advantages alone.
In times like these when there is such
a universal shrinkage in the value of
real estate and improvements, it cam
not be expected that the educational
or social feature of the Order will re-
ceive that attention and consideration
to which they are entitled. Neverthe
less, something ought to be accom-
plished by every Grange, IN the direc-
ton we have indicated. Where there
is resolute, hearty good will, way
will soon be found, which, when once
fairly entered upon success is certain.

Butter Making.

Now comes spring time, with fresh
cows on the farm, and the annual but
ter fever is again revived, to be melted
out with the heat Of July. But why
not this year properly prepare for
making good butter, as almost every
farmer this year has, or ought to have,
plenty of ice, and if once properly
prepared for making good butter, it
will be found TO pay as well as any de-
partment of The farm, all things con-
sidered.
With plenty of milk, good butter
can be made, if properly handled. We
give the following method of churn-
ing from a practical article by j. I.
Ellsworth, in the Scientific Farmer:
"Churnipg cream to make good but
ter is not SO simple process as some
may think. 1t must be churned at the
proper time and at the proper tenn
perature, and the churn should be
stopped as soon as the cream is broken,
but before the butter has gathered in
large balls. In warm weather it is of
great importance to watch the process
closely, and to notice Just ,chen this
change is TO take place. AT this time
add enough cold water (not ice) TO re-

The Impending Crisis.


I. c. Henry, the great wheat grower
of Kansas, writes to the Abilene
Chronicle as follows:
81 have never said that the grass
hopper eggs were destroyed by the
warm aud cold spells of February and
March, reports in various newspapers
to the contrary Notwithstanding. l
said that the eggs were so far devei-
oped by the warm and moist weather
of last fall that few days of favora-
BILE weather in March would hatch
them out, and that the cold rains and
freezing weather OF early spring would
in all probability destroy the young
hoppers. | am sure that large per-
centage of the eggs are, however, de-
stroved from various causes, which 1t
is needless now to name, and that they
viii therefore not mature.
''The weather this month has been
mostly dry and cool; hence the eggs,
as rule. have made scarcely any adj
vance toward Matching. The proba-
bilities now are, that by the time they
do hatch, warm, settled weather favor
able to their maturity will prevail. |
am sure that the deposit of eggs is in
all cases confined to spots and places
in particular fields, or in small and
sheltered localities. l have SO far
found no such deposit but that can
easily be controlled by the owner Of
the farm. The farmer can readily as
certain where these spots are, and at
ter the young hoppers are Matched, he
can apply some Of the various means
at hand to their destruction-by driv-
ing them into the prairie grass and
burning it; by hauling straw and
driving them into it and then burning
by blowing the eggs under, ditching,
etc. Let every farmer ascertain at
once where the eggs are, decide upon
the means in advance that is most
available fer the object desired, and
then carry it out"

Planting Corn.


Prof. Tice says we will have dry
summer, and advises the farmers to
pillow deep in planting this spring.
Whether the prediction comes true or
not, the advice is good-for deep plow-
is always in order. We have also
little advice to give plant corn
carly. "Unclo" David Burge, one of
the earliest settlers of this county,
having been raising corn in sight of
Kansas City for forty years, once made
the following remark to the writer.
We asked him his experience as to
planting corn, and his reply was "If
you ever make good crop of corn by
late planting, keep it to yourself
don't tell the boys"
There is the philosophy of a life
time in that remark. The rains of this
section are. as rule, over early in
July. Corn ought to be in tassel by
the 4th of that month. If it is so, a
sure corn crop is the result Get your
corn in by the 10th of May at the fur
thest, if possible. That is wisdom
and good farming both.-Kansas City
journal Of Commerce.

Millet and Millet Seed.

For seeding crop millet is very
good, particularly the large sort, which
grows on rich soil, with succulent
stalks, and makes as good feed and as
large a burden as sowed corn, and of
ten succeeds when that crop fails. 1t
requires no more skill and hardly as
much labor to grow crop of millet as
a crop of oats. 1t is estimated that a
fair crop of millet will produce four or
five tons per acre of straw, and over
twenty bushels of seed. When the
crop is sown for the purpose OF max
ing seed, it is recommended to sow
twelve quarts, and if the crop is in
tended to be cut for hay, SOW from
two to three pecks of seed per acre.
When allowed to stand till all the
seeds are ripened, twenty-five bushels
per acre is common yield. No at
tempt should, be made to secure both
seed and hay from the same field.
Plant one field for seed and one for
hay. For seed the upper parts of the
heads must be ripe before they are cut.
An advantage in growing millet is
that it flourishes well in the dryest
seasons. Millet seed, AS feed for horses,
and sheep, was recommended by writ
ers in Europe long ago. 1t is an ex-
cellent grain for animals when allowed
to ripen itself, possessing as much nu-
.riment as Indian corn, but not its
fattening property. In districts in
Europe where it is most grown the
opinion prevails that millet yields
more food for both man and beast than
any other cultivated grain. Cut for
hay, the crop is large and of good
quality and imparts vigor and elias
ITCHY to working cattle that is &C
CURED from no other feed. Stock, too,
are fond of millet hay. Millet is also

Good Advice.

The Enterprise Dickinson county
Gazette says that in a conversation
with T. c. Henry, the great wheat
grower of Kansas, OH Wednesday of
last week, he expressed it as his opin-
ion, based upon careful investigation,
that the hoppers will not be sufficient
ly numerous in Dickinson county to
cause a general devastation of crops.
In a few localities there are consider
able deposits Of eggs, but the crops
can be saved if the farmers will adopt
and execute the proper means of de-
siruction. Dig holes, make bitches,
drive the hoppers in; use coal oil
these are some of the methods which
experience has proven to be effective.
