An Iowa Patron writes as follows !;
II have frequently been asked these
questions when did the Patrons of
Husbandry originate ? when did CO.
operation originate, and what was the
cause of the people abandoning it p
The Divine Master planted garden
eastward in Eden and gave it to man
to cultivate. That was the first Grange.
But it was not good for the husband
man TO be alone, so God gave him a
matron to help him. That was the
first act of cooperation. After this
came along the third person designat-
cd as a serpent but better known as
the devil his business was to sow
tares and thereby make the garden
foul so that it could not produce its
native fruits. A few of the plants
which he planted in the garden were
lawyers, politicians, bankers, money
shavers, and host of useless agents
and shylocks. These so covered the
ground that there was no room to
plant the good seed, only in an oh
scure corner. The Order of Patrons
propose to reinstate you in the garden
from which you have been driven. But
there are many obstacles in the way,
Of which the most prominent are self
ishness and distrust."

A correspondent of the Peoria, Illi-
nois, Transcript says: GA live and
well conducted Grange is a prime
blessing to the overworked husband
man. Afore it was the rule to toll
from sun to sun, and from boyhood to
the grave, without any possible
thought of finding pleasure or profit
in q days recreation. The man
trudged YEARLY along the treadmill of
life, and the woman cooked her regu-
lar one thousand meals per year, with
no vision of wayside rest this side of
the silent portals which lead to the
life beyond. There is still a great
strain Oh the vital force in coaxing
bread out of the ground, but very
many of our very best farmers all over
the land are turning over new leaf
and resolving that there are brighter
sides of life than were known by their
toiling fathers; these are they who
have found how good and pleasant it
is to get out of the grooves and ruts
of rustic labor now and then, and TO
rally, with their wives and daughters
for an evenings diversion ora whole
days restful change, in the brotherly
group of the Grange. All hail the
cordial fraternity which Sits a little
spice of change into the rugged lot of
the farmer; but it is pathetic to re-
member how many SONS of the soil
are yet bowling to that old faith that
call work and no play is all the bright
ness that Jack needs"

a Secretary Of Agriculture.

Within the past two months, two
eminently respectable bodies of agri-
culture have set forth, in earnest Ian
guage, the necessity of there being
established bureau of agriculture, to
constitute department of the Gov
eminent co-equal to the others. The
plan contemplates Secretary of Ag-
riculture to be admitted to the Cabi-
net, thus giving the interest voice in
the management of National affairs,
such as its magnitude aud Importance
have long entitled it to.
The proposition is by no means a
new one, for the agricultural press, es-
pecially the western part OF it, have
long advocated it, as have a number
of individuals interested in agricultu-
raj pursuits. But it is a matter of
cougratulation thai the Agricultural
Congress at Philadelphia, and the Ma
tional Grange at Chicago, have taken
hold of the measure with an earnest
ness that we believe will arouse the
people to q pitch of enthueiasm that
will have an effect upon the Congress
now in session.
The present agricultural department
/ has done a good work, faulty and
weak as its management has generally
been, and with the pittance that has
been allowed it in the government ap-
preparations. But it is only step to-
ward the real recognition which the
agricultural people desire to have,
from their number and their impor-
lance, in the material affairs of the
Nation.
1t was suggested at the Agricultural
Congress that the State and county
agricultural societies throughout the
Union, petition Congress for a repre-
sentative in the National Cabinet, and
that this member should be taken from
the ranks of successful farmers, We
would second this movement. and
would also suggest that our horticul-
tural and kindred societies, as well as
every State and subordinate Grange
take up the matter, and send petitions
to the President of the Senate and
Speaker Of the House, requesting them
to place them over the bodies over
which they preside. We are confident
that if the idea is taken hold of prop
erly and earnestly, the present Con-
gross will give it more than a passing
attention. At any rate, it is worth
the peoples while to make the at
tempt.-Er.

a correspondent of the Covington,
Kentucky Commonwealth says: "The
Order is going down, but the down.
ward movement is like that of the oak
which, as it grows older, sends its
roots deeper and more firmly into the
earth, the better to withstand the
storms which may beat upon it. We
think we are perfectly correct in say
ing that at no period in the history of
the Order were its real friends more
full of hope concerning the realization
of the real objects of the organization,
viz, the elevation of the social, intel
lectnal and business condition of the
producers of the land. Enough has
been accomplished to demonstrate
what may be done, and in our opinion
the weak-hearted farmers and the OPP
posers of the fraternity will be con-
WINGED ere long that their predictions
of speedy dissolution of the Order
arc based upon sandy foundations.
Let the true Patron be not discour-
aged by the apparent falling off in
number. The vine yields its richest
fruit only when carefully pruned. So
will it be with our institution, when
freed from the dead weight as repre-
scented by the selfish, narrow-minded
and doubling members, produce rich
harvests in results most desirable.

The Coming Wheat Crop.

Our Illinois, Missouri and Kansas
exchanges oil speak most glowingly of
the winter wheat crop. 1t has never
looked more promising within the
memory of man, and should no unto
ward event occur there will soon be
tumble in the price Of -four which
will delight all the hearts of the house
keepers. Thirteen dollars is the point
touched tor the best brands of winter
wheat flour and it makes dear bread.
but in few weeks Tennessee, Texas,
Georgia and Missouri will be pushing
wheat into this market. Arkansas,
Missouri and Southern Illinois will
speedily follow, and the probability of
sudden drop to $1.25 to $1.40 or
Whereabouts for No. 2 winter wheat is
encouraging. Winter wheat at that
price will pay and will permit of flour
being sold at SIS per barrel, which is
dear enough in all conscience.
The harvest weather last year aud
the year before was very wet. 1t
rained almost every day i'll the last
half of June and during July, and ru-
ined millions of bushels of wheat in
this country. To cap this, rain fell
during August i'll Iowa and Minnesota
the home of the spring wheat-and
ruined millions of bushels more. But
the rainy season throughout the wheat
belt this year has been April and May,
and hence there is hardly likely that
there will be much precipitation in
June and July. By all accounts the
breadth sown to winter wheat is very
large and the yield promises to be
large. The SHOWS which fell upon it
March and the fore part of April, did
world of good, and then the soaking
rains of The last half of April and the
first half of May have completed the
job, and the promise now one of the
largest and best crops of winter wheat
ever harvested in Ameriea.-St. Lou
is Republican.

The Garden.

Do not let the pressure of farm
work tempt you to neglect the garden.
A man who works hard should be
we'll fed with the best vegetables and
fruits the earth affords. The feeders
of the world should patronize their
own art, and spread good table, on
the same principle that a tailor wears
good cloth cut and made in the best
style-it is his best advertisement. A
farmer who raises good vegetables and
knows their value by use, will soon
carry them to market and thus lead
others to try them. If he cultivates
squashes, cabbage, tomatoes, and egg
plant, he will not be long in finding a
market for them. Men who labor
want a variety of food, and the farm
er's garden should abound with every
thing good, from tho asparagus bed,
due the first of May, to the roots that
are harvested with the frosts of au-
tumn.
The moral influence of garden up
on the household is most HAPPY; we
have rarely met with vicious child
whose early years were familiar with
his fathers vegetable beds and his
mothers flower borders. The garden
comes next after the church and the
school house, and il is a worthy CO.
operator with these institutions. 1t
bezutihes home wonderfully, and kim
dies emotions that never die out of
the heart. There Is time yet to put in
seed and provide the raw material for
numerous tempting dishes which
every good housewife knows how to
prepare from barley, celery, beans,
cucumbers and corn. Improve the
seed time and rejoice in the harvest.

gwith the increased activity in

GWith the increased activity in the
field there is great danger that the in
terest in the Grange meetings will be
allowed to die out. Tired humanity,
after hard days work under burn
ing sun, has great inclination to stay
at home and go TO bed early, or in
other words, to neglect the Grange
and indulge personal convenience. 1t
is the greatest mistake Patron can
make. The Grange is like human
being in this respect. that loafing will
do very great deal of harm. The ef-
ficacy of the Grange for winter work
depends in great measure upon the
manner in which it was summered.
1t cannot be packed away and labeled
"to be used after harvest" The
The Grange is most useful member
of the body polite, and to keep its
muscles in good tune, they must be in
constant exerciee. And then the
mental relaxation obtained by attend
ing tho Grange meetings is worth an
hours sleep 1t any time.-Prarie

Says the Baltimore Gd;eitc: Now
for business. The country has ac-
cepted the settlement Of this Presi-
DENTAL question, with all itswrongs,
in order that the hong and dangerous
uncertainty might becndcd. Every
department Of business has suffered
the paralyzing influence of the UNI
certainties that have beclouded the
political atmosphere. Men of bust
ness may say it was a badsettlement
of the question, but it was better
than no settlement; now let's go
ahead and restore the industries of
the country. Let our rusty machin-
ery be oiled up and started again; let
our big wheels turn again to the
merry plunge of water power; let us
hear the thump of ponderous engines
and the hum of busy commercial
centres. The best claim which the
new administration has upon the
support of the people is its promise
of peace and good will. If this
promise of peace and justice to the
South be fulfilled, prosperity will re-
visit her impoverished people, and
the North will have another market
for its wares. The business men of
the North have long ago discovered
that the restitution of the South,
due to its misgovernmcntand its lar
cenous rulers, have deprived the
manufacturers of the North of their
best customers; and that the uncer-
taintics attending all things there,
kept out foreign capital and hinder
ed the energetic employmentof what
was already there. Now all parties,
except few ambitious politicians,
want to have an end of political in
trigues, and resoIutc and cheerful
face addressed to business revival.
