ABOUT CO-OPERATION.

Cooperation must begin in thought.
1t is Of no use to mark it out as
engineers do q line of travel, and try
to switch this great order into it; at
least not until its members have tried
the shorter lines leading from their
farms to their neighbors. 1t is amaz-
ing that these international co-opcra-
tive trade schemes should be pressed
to the notice of farmers, who have
notryet made the slightest effort to
cooperate in business affairs at home.
Whatever good might attend the sue
cessful working of these grand
schemes, it is a blind confidence in
improved theory that leads good men
to suppose that radical changes may
be wrought in the habits of a large
class of people composed of the most
conservative members of society, ex-
cept by those graduations which per-
NIT the ground to be surveyed and
carefully tried all along the way.
The grange itself is cooperative, but
not necessarily for the purpose of
business gains. Whenever and wher-
ever it has been used solely for such
gain, it has fallen to decay, for it has
had shifting foundation. The first
neeGs of the order are strengthening
of social ties, development of conf
dence, mental culture, and the con.
sequent elevation OF manhood and
~womanhood, which after all, is the
grand object. AS n means for the
attainment of these objects, the
grange is a worthy institution. When
it is diverted from them, to promote
any scheme, it must fail of its true
purpose. If the National Grange will
study the situation, it must sec that
it will not be wise to step far beyond
the people. If it can devise the means
to solidify the order so that it viii
become q power in directing the affairs
of the country, that will do more fol
the general welfare, than 20 diver
all the trade profits of the year into
the pockets Of men already too mer.
cenary to allow thought to stray from
the everlasting themc-mater;al gains
to try its powers iii affairs which
concern all. Under a form of govern
ment that rests on the intelligence o
the people as its only security, there
must be an obligation on the part o
the people to cultivate intelligence
Especially docs this obligation res
upon farmers who have property rights
at stake. Already, because their in
attention to this plain requirement
they are oppressed by unjust burdens
While they cannot make the grange
political power, they can $ it as tn,
means by which to fit themselves TO
intelligent action in pubic matters
This will bring more good to then
and to all the Industrial class thar
they q get through grand trade
schemes spread over two continents
Meantime, cooperation 80 begun ant
faithfully continued, will reach mum
berless ways by which gratifying
profits may come, without disturbing
any interests of society and thu
grange, by reaching only after wha
is attainable, and getting it, will come
to be;regarded as a respectable factor
in tie public welfare. p

Some farmers drive their work
are always up with it, or ahead OF it.
They anticipate the work of the farm
in its order, and are always prepared
to meet it half way or more; other
farmers arc always behind their work.
There is always something suffering
from neglect OF delay. They are
heavy losers thereby. The crops
don't get the attention they need at
the right time the fences are not re-
paired till the stock have done more
damage than the repairing would have
cost the seed is not planted till it is
too late to get . good crop; the wood
is not. hauled till the woodpile is ex-
hausted, and that may be in summer
time when the crops are suffering to
be harvested-and thus the work
drags, drags all the time. Such far
mers are noS happy. They have not
the lively spirits of those who are al
ways up with and a little ahead of
their work. Reader, to which class
do you belong? Much work can be
done in winter to advance spring
work. Who will do it? u.

BOYS M OTHER COLTS.

Now, boys, let the colts out into
the lots, and see them ruin. Don't
keep them pened up in the stalls. That
is as bad as keeping a healthyFboy
in bed all day. They were never
made for prison, but for freedom.
More colts are permanently injured
by lack of exercise than any other
cause. What they want is a chance
to run, and race, and cmvette, and
kick up their heels, and draw the cool
fresh air into their lungs and blow it
out with a snort. Bring them all out
into the four-acre lot slip the hatters I;

sweep! See them circle! Ha! see

shine! How their feet fly How
full of life, no sight in the cities like

Russia and Turkey.

On the 25th of April, the Emperor
of Russia formally declared war
against Turkey. 1t is not improba-
BILE that this act marks the beginning
of q new era in the history of Europe.
The alleged cause of .hostilities by
Russia is the unjust and cruel treat
ment by the Turks of his Christian
subjects. The, Turk refuses to sub
nit to.the Intervention, of European
powers, and denies to Russia any
right of interference in her affairs.
Turkey has for long time been
treated as a weak power, and for
lsngyears has been subjected to the
somewhat Hieddlesome interference
of European States. In this direc-
ton, England has been conspicuous
lyi prominent. England's route to
India lies through the Turks domin-
ion. Turkish bonds have for many
years been a favorite investment for
English subjects, England has So,
900, 600 Mohamedans in her Ipdian
Empire 1t is understood that an
English 6eet will be placed in the
Bosperd0s. If England can keep
put of thit war it will be by a marvel
Of diplomsey. IF she gets into it,
Russian ironolads and letters of
,rhafge will do for English commerce
what English ships, as Confederate
Hruisers, did for our commerce dur.
ing the war of the rebellion. There
is general opinion abroad that the
Colossus of the North is more than a
match for the armies of Turkey. In
this opinion many will be deceived.
The Turks are Warriors both brave
and capable, Where this war will
end, and how many other nations
will be drawn into its bloody vortex,
