FARM NOTES.
Who arc the Farmers Friends

Who but geology, chemistry, the
quarry of the air, the water Of the brood,
the lightning Of the cloud, the plough Of
the frost ? Before he was born into the
field, the gun Of ages soaked it with light
and heat, mcIlowed his land, dccomposcd
the rocks, covered it with vegetable film,
then with forests, and accumulated cubic
acres of sphagnum, whose decay makes
the peat Of his meadows. The rock3
crack like glass by inequality of contrac
ton in heat and cold, and flakes fall
almost continually into the soil. The
tree can draw on the whole air, the whole
earth, on the rolling main. The plant,
the tree IS all suction pipe, imbibing from
the ground by its roots, from the air by
its twigs with all it's might, Take up Il
spademl or a buck-loa Of loan; who can
guess what it holds? But a gardener
knows that il is full Of peaches, full Of
oranges, and he drops in Il few seeds by
way of keys to unlock and combine its
values, lets il lie in the sun and rain,
and by.and-by it has lifted into the air
its full weight in golden fruit mers0n.

Vienna Coffee.

Leach or filter the coffee through a
French filter or any of the many coffee
pots that filter instead of boiling
the coffee. Allow one tablespoonful
of ground coffee to each person and
"one extra for the pot" Put one
quart of cream into a milk boiler, or,
if you have none, into a pitcher, and
set the pitcher into pail of boiling
water. Put it where the water will
keep boiling. Beat the white of an
egg to froth, then add to the egg
three tablespoonful of cold milk.
Mix the egg and cold milk thoroughly
together. When hot remove the cream
from the fire and add the egg and cold
milk. Stir it all together briskly for,
minute or two, and then serve.

A Patron writes that he is growing
tired Of attending tho Grange meeting
simply to listen to the routine of the
manuals, that business is rarely trans
acted, and no interest taken in discus
sion of farm topics. We advise this
brother, who seems to appreciate the
objects of tie Order, to reconstruct
that Grange. One good, live, enthu-
siastic man can frequently save a
Grange from destruction by hamilton.
1t is hard way to die-this lingering,
torturing death, and the Grange re-
ferred TO will certainly die this death
unless vitality is infused into it by
some one. Agitation is the one great
law by which nature preserves her ell
ements and combinations from decay.
When this ceases, stagnation begins
and always results in decay and death.
This law prevails in all the moral, So
cial educational and spiritual relations
Of life. Something must agitate these
stagnant Oranges or they must die.

Tho Master of the Wisconsin State
Grange writes 81 have just returned
from visit to the Oranges of Wau-
paca county, with which / have had
several very pleasant, and | hope prof
liable meetings. find the Order in
Waupaca county, as far as my visits
extended, in very sound condition.
Their numbers have decreased some,
but those who remain are as solid as a
rock, and the word fail is stricken
from their vocabulary. They have a
warehouse, which cos! 81 200, paid for
and store, running in their interest
exclusively, with brother at the
head, second to mono for business and
fair dealing. Some of the Oranges did
not respond to the call for the meeting
at Waupaca, and in consequence |
could not visit chem, as | wished; but
from the best information | could get
most of them are possessed of the
Grange grit, and all will work in the
Grange harness. We had six meetings
in the county; all very well attended
by the members, who only seek an op-
portunity to show their faith by their
work.

the last fifteen years my voice had
cased to break into song until | enter
cd the Grange. have sung more here
than in all those years. There is good
in it, and l am gratified by the desire
so plainly shown to cultivate music
here. | call to mind the time when
my sister was young with me, and it
was impossible to go to the barn with
the milk pals without song, where We
sang together after the work was done
and when music in our house, had al
most unceasing flow. With such eff
forts as we can make here much OF
that pleasure can yet be revived and
we shall add greatly to the pleasure of
our young members"

Stand Fast.

Patrons hesitate and doubt; they
fear the Order will not avail them as
they had hoped, they listen to the
sneers of men who have been accus-
toned to control them and they draw
back in confusion. They seem to want
the countenance of somebody of
"higher position" and they are very
bashful. 1t is all wrong and it must
be speedily righted. Farmers, Patrons
have the same rights as other men and
they must boldly assume and assert
them. They have tho Same duties as
other men and they must fearlessly do
the same. The time for eowardice has
gone by. If your Grange is inactive
and its meetings neglected, it is prob
ably your fault; if the cooperative
enterprises fail, it is because you have
not put your shoulder to the wheel.
Suppose you fail, so have thousands
before you, but they up and at it again
with renewed energy and enlarged OK
perience. Have you hoped for success
with the feeble and spasmodic efforts
so far made? That is because you
knew not the difficulties. You have
learned some of them now, and you
will learn more as you go on. But don't
turn and run because your enemies
don't fly at your whistle; they are to
be whipped, and you must off coat and
at them. If you conquer, it is by a
long, steady, persistent struggle, all
together. Stand fast.-Patrons Help

Bro. b. w. Baylor writes the West
Virginia Grange Bulletin that the
business operations OF the Maryland
and West Virginia Grange Agency, at
Baltimore, amounted to 1914, 900, with
a saving to the Patrons Of Maryland
and West Virginia of $50, 200, without
dollar of expense to either State, ex-
cept the expense of overlooking the
same, say about 500 to each State
This year they expect TO do much
larger business, as the agency is better
established and more universally
known.

"Wo ought to take the lead in all .ag-

pose of obtaining new ideas and dis
cussing new plans for making our
farms more productive without pro-
portionate expense. And while we
lead in the effort to obtain fair prices
for our labor and the money invested
in our farms, let us net forget that
one of the best ways is to increase the
amount produced from each acre
titled. Let as all labor TO that end"

Farmers Fire Insurance Associa-
tons are being organized every week
in various sections of the country.
Our exchanges this week announce
half dozen or more new ones. These
are not Grange organizations, but are
composed of farmers living within the
territory included by each separate
company. The Grange, however,
should have the credit for all good &C
complished, as it is the originator of
cooperative effort among farmers in
this country. We hope these insur-
ance companies will move cautiously
and surely, making no ruinous mis-
takes, for we regard them as among
the most useful of these cooperative
efforts,

is neat little folio, devoted exclusive
ly to official information in regard to

is to be published quarterly and sent
free to each subordinate Grange, while
individuals desiring it, must pay a
"small subscription price," which has
been fixed at twenty-five cents.

Centerville Grange, 2l6, of Georgia,
sets an example worthy of imitation,
in the adoption of q system of sweep
stakes for cotton, corn and hogs. The
member raising the most cotton from
an aero receives one dollar from each
competitor: the one raising the most
corn on one acre receives one bushel
of corn from each, and the one who
produces the heaviest hog gets a ham
from each competitor. Monthly ex-
hibitious of farm products, ETC., are
also given. Such regulations will
stimulate productive effort.

A Cure for Diphtheria.

A correspondent of Victorian paper
writes: Should you or any ofyour tami-
ly, be attacked with diphtheria, do not
be alarmed, as it is easily and speedily
cured without doctor. When it was
raging in England a few years ago, |
accompanied DR.. Field on his rounds
to witness the so called wonderful cures
he performed, while the patients of 9TH
ers were dropping on all sides. The
remedy to be so rapid must be simple.
All he took with him was powder of
sulphur and quill, and with these he
cured erery patient without exception.
lie put teaspoonful of -four of brim-
stone into wine glass of water, and
stirred it with his finger, instead of a
spoon, as the sulphur does not readily
amalgamate with water. When the
sulphur was well mixed he gave it as a
gargle, and in ten minutes the patient
was out of danger. Birthstone kills
every species of fungus in man, beast,
and plant in few minutes. Instead of
splitting out the gargle, he recommended
the swallowing oft. In extreme cases.
in which he had been called just in the
nick of time, when the fulgus was too
nearly closing to allow the gargling, he
blew the sulphur through quill into
the throat, and after the fungus has
shrunk TO allow it, then the gargling.
lie never lost patient from diphtheria.
If patient cannot gargle, take a live
coal, put it on a shovel, and sprinkle a
spoonful or two of -four birthstone at a
time upon it, let the sufferer inhale it.,
holding the head over it, and the fungus
viii die. If plentifully used, the whole
room may be filled almost to suffocation;
the patient can walk about in it, inhal-
ing the fumes with doors and windows
shut. The mode of fumigating room
with sulphur has often cured most vio-
lent attacks of cold in the head. chest,
&c, at any time, and is recommended
in cases Of consumption and asthma.

is ever at work, adding his age marks in spo-
