What has tfae Grange Move
rnent Accomplishment
IN. o. vindicator and News.

This question has often been
propounded to MS by many per-
sons, both within and without the
Order. We propose briefly to an
swer it; but not with the rope
that the answer will be satisfac-
tory to all, who seem to think that
farmers have not sense enough TO
accomplish anything.
The Grange movement has Sc
eured to the farmers better social
and educational advantages than
ever before attainable, which has
improved their condition as "a
class. ennobled farm life and rem
dered it more desirable and at
;tractive. 1t has given practical
effect to the fYaternal tie by which
IL has united the farmers, by hesp-
ing and protecting its members IN
all tine accidents in lie, such as
sickness, fires and other mlsfor-
tunes. 1t has implanted III the
minds of many of its members, the
ambition to become better and
more successful farmers, and by
the means of the knowledge
gained by the intercourse and dis
EMISSIONS at the meetings OF the
Grange, they have become pro-
gressive farmers.
It has saved to its members
thousands of dollars, IN the pnr-
chase of agricultural implements,
supplies, and in transportation,
and by thorough and complete
system of cooperation it can ac-
complish great results in this di-
rection.
1t las. to a great degree brought
about cash system d doing bust
ness, both among its members and
with the outside world. This cash
system is the keystone of the Or
ganization. Tt has encouraged
cooperation in trade, in educa-
tional facilities aud ID fal ming
and it is through this working to-
gether, that the greatest good to
the farmers, will in the near fu-
tnre be accomplished. 1t has pro-
NOTED fraternal feeling among
the farmers of every section OF our
common country, thereby doing
away with much sectional bitter
ness and animosity and bringir G
about reconciliation, among IA
majority OF the people North and
South.
We have above stated some Of
the great things, the Grange move
ment has already accomplished.
vet there are many in the Order,
who join in with the hue and cry
Of it's enemies and say the move
meut has done nothing. These
sfring Brothers have not kept
shamselves informed as to the
great works of our Order.

He asserts positively that his two thousand head of sheep are at this moment the fattest flock of sheep for the mum Der that he ever saw at any season of the year, and he has spent the majori- ty of his lifetime in the sheep business in California. His sum- mer range is up in the high foot hills, or part way up the mountain where he has built his residence, and where he has sufficient tillabie land for all the purposes of a sheep raiser. Here he could have easily kept his sheep all winter, had he known ii would be so mild, but having a winter range and ranch twelve miles down the he removed his flock down there for the winter and the result has been as stated the fat test two thousand sheep an old sheep raiser ever saW.-Miner.

DESERT GR0WTHS NO. 5,

The OcotiAd or Whip-stock :" cactus may be compared to doz- en or so of huge buggy-whips set together in the ground and di- verging somewhat toward their upper ends; each serrated with thOrns, and at some seasons tipped with a charming crimson flower; at other times clothed along their entire length with small leaves of a brilliant green. tapping one on another and springing from the base of every thorn. The bark is charged with resin0us gum and the stalk burns freely. These whips often attain a diameter of three inches at the butt and taper out to a length of F or 15 feet {: they are made use of by the min- CT for "lagging" in his works and for construction of his cabin. If buried horizontally, a few in- cnes under ground, at this season of the year and slightly moisten- ed, long shoot will sprout up from nearly every bud and prove no small ornament to garden, When planted along the fence. We advise our Yuma readers to try Ii, but caution them against too rich soil, or excess of water -either of which are fatal to 1he OcOtill0.
 The HeCltondio is a species of grease-woOd, taking it's name from the Spanish equivalent of the nauseous smell of its juices, which possess medicinal virtue as an astringent in cases of diar- rhoea; for quickly curing collar. gals or sore backs of saddle ami. mals, nothing equals strong de. cOctiOn of it's leaves. The Mex jeans have an idea, that a little Wad of the leaves. tied around the bit of a Wearied horse, will sustain his spirit and strength, as he cheWs it. We have seen this fri ed on desert marches with appar. ent success.
