LADY SOUTH.

In an essay read ut the Cloverdale Grange
by the Assistant Steward, rs reported in the
Southern Farmer, the fair speaker held the
following
1t is the duty of the good lady Granger to
make home neat, beautiful and attractive
10 einlsellish it with flowers, adorn 1t with
shrlbbery. and TO decorate it with vines.
The goodly and cheering sight of these will
Danish the cares and fatigue of father. BROTH
er or husband, when he returns from the
hot and toiiing scenes Of the fields.
1t is also the duty OF the lady Granger to
look after the vegetable garden, without
which, no rural home is complete, and no
farmer is happy. This, however, is no UNI
pleasant occupation, provided we have
some onr TO do the work when WI say it is
needed, ard which we would here remind
the other side Of the Order. that III Is their
duty to furnish, and which duty they have
a remarkable talent for forgetting.
Again, the lady Granger is expected to
look after the poultry department of the
farm. This is a very pleasant employment,
If the so~called '>Lord of Creation would
have a nice poultry yard fixed, and Il good
comfortable house for the chickens built
therein. Besides it gladdens his heart to
see large fiocks Of chickens and turkeys AS
he enters the refreshing shade of the farm
house, and his eyes brighten rs he thinks of
the magnificent dinner mt the Grange meet
ing next Thursday, or anticipates the con-
tents of the table at home next Sunday. All
this mustnot be omitted, or there will be Il
cloud ON the face of the Major Domo.H
however brightly the sun may shine, the
flowers bloom, the birds sing, or you smile.

PATRONS OF HUSBANDRY.

SEED time has come and gene, and the
harvest is far spent. The season Tor revlv-
ing the work of the Grange is near at hand,
the long evenings of autumn afford a good
opportunity for meetings, and there is much
to be done. Let the organizations get to
work and ascertain the product OF the coun-
try. that they MAY market their produce in
diligently.
THE Farmers Friend, Pennsylvania, says:
ASoinething like u thousand Grange Coop
%cratiye stores have been built in this coun-
try. Ihe order bids fair to be known to
the nations of u thousand years hence as
the race of store-huilders, corresponding
with the mound-builders, whose mysteries
antiquarians are at present ~endeavoring to
nnravel. The works of the Changers may
not be so lasting, but time will tell.
THE Seneca County Grange Insurance
Association has already taken risks to the
amount of two hundred and forty thousand
dollars. The Secretary reports the society
as growing constantly in favor among the
farmers. The Tompkins County Company
is carrying nearly q half million dollars III
surance. This company was organized over
q year ago. We have not heard that there
has as yet been a single loss in any Of these
grange Insurance companies in this State.
This would Indicate that they have to do
with an excellent class of risks. which is I'M
doubtedly the case.-N. Y. Husbandnaan.

The MARI Lane Erp1ess quotes from the
Louisville Coutier-Jommal as follows "The
Grange is of 4 sobolilerous nature"
"Tle main STEM. springs from o compo-
site of correct principles, but shoots and
suckers have grown ont that prove to be in
.%jnrions, and should be Topped Off" And
adds: yes there is certainly a great
deal of the sucker or lollipop principle in
the Grange system that must be topped
Off if full grown men are to continue to
have to do with It," The question is, what
does the Mar1 Lanc Express, n London I'm
g'and) journal know about the Grange in

He Quit Right There.

Some months since fond Detroit faith
er imagined that his only son, a man
of twenty, was going into consumption. A
doctor was consulted, and he advised that
the son be put through course of gym
nastic training. The young man seemed
to like the idea, and for two or three
months he was in daily attendance at
gymnasium. Then he began to grow
careless, and finally quit altogether. The
father thought he could see 81 GINS of fail
ing health again, and, to induce his son
to go back to rings, bars and gloves once
more, he fitted UP private gymnasium
in the barn and began course of exercise
himself. The other morning he remem-
bered that he used to be a boxer in his
young days, and be remarked that he'd
give the son few lessons. He was bal
ancing himself on his heel and feeling out
with both hands, when something hit him,
and half a minute afterward he dimly real
lied that some one was bending over him
and saying. :.. -.
" Father, dear father! are you dcad?"
He sat up, looked around, and hoarscly
inquired:
"Jim, what on earth happened?"

Railroad Wars in Wisconsin.

There is a genuine railroad war IN
Wisconsin between the two great powers IN
the transportation traffic OF the Northwest.
The Milwaukee & ST. Paul company has oper-
ated the Madison & Portage line OF railroad
since its completion on q contract which by
it's rms could be ended at any time by either
p ". The prospective completion OF the
sconsln Central to Ashland on Lake Supe-
7 early in the spring makes this line espe-
{ .lly valuable as a connecting line. The en-
ergetic officers OF the Chicago x Northwestern
We're not slow in seeing this, and took steps to
secure that connection. The contract with
the Milwaukee company was discontinued by
Mr. Campbell, owner OF the road, and con-
ract drawn with the Chicago & Northwestern
company, which company has taken posses
sion of tle road, but the Milwaukee company
refuses 10 withdraw. The sympathies OF the
northern and western portion Of the State are
with the Chicago & Northwestern folks, as
since the affairs of that COMPANY have been
under the management Of Pr, lent Keep
there has been manifest disposition on the
part Of the management 10 serve the public
interests by all the means in the company's
power, and this IS a move TO perfect the
Eorthwestern's system in the State.
