GA little nonsense, now snd then,
Is rclished by the wisest men,
WHY THE GRANGE IS WANTED.

The master of the State Grange of New
York says that according to the census Of
1870 the investments of the farmers of that
State in agricultural implements and machin-
cry amounted to within $4,000 OF SAG, OOO-
600. OF this amount, at least from $10,-
100000 to $4,000, 900 at some previous time
must have been paid as profits to parties
standing between the manufacturer and the
farmers, and this for a class of property that
requires frequent renewals. Were it pos
sible to unite the entire agricultural interest
of the State in our organization, the savings
for this source alone would ~pecuniarily COM
pensate the members for all the outlay they
would ever be called on to make to secure
and maintain their membership, and leave
a large surplus, from which, should there be
no other source of relief, to tighten the bur-
dcns of taxation that are now resting so
heavily upon our landed interests and this

GRANGE

GRAN GE
The general impression Of &iders re-
garding our order is, that it wa$tablished
for the financial benefit of members.
While it is undoubtedly true ththis is one
Of its objects, it is by no means eonly one.
1t also aims to add dignity to tilabors of
the a%griculturist, as well to prote educa-
ton and refinement among all der it's in
fluence. But it has another obj of grea5
Importance. to which [ now plpse to Iii
rect your attention, viz: The tnge as a
means ofrecreation.
The life of the farmer is enIatically q
life Of toll. The divine senten "In the
sweat of thy face shalt thou eatead," had
stronger reference to our callinhan to any
other. The earth has brought, nth spon-
%taneously, thorns, thistles, and rlike pro-
ductions, against which the ters of the
soil have ever been obliged to ,ge% constant
warfare.
Nearly the whole of mankind and prob
ably a larger proportion Of wohnkind, de-
sire an occasional change fromle ordinary
routine of daily life. Especiallshould such
change be desirable with hard prking farm
ers. Without it, they wouldsoon prove
the truth of the old spellingPok maxim
some of us learned in the days { our child
hood, "All work and no pit will make
Jack q dull boy"
A large share of the farmer'Nork is done
either alone. or in the comply of those
who are inferior to him in experience and
intelligence, if not in capacib. The con-
sequence is that in his common, daily life, he
has very little of that contact f mind with
mind, which will tend to Sharpen his wit
and brighten his intellect, as veil as to en-
his store of available knowledge.
One of the articles of our belief is that "it
is not good for man to be alole," especially
cnn';->ey -'~n'oation. I've experience
of many an assemblage composed entirely O
the sterner sex is sufficient to prove its co.
~rectness. Accordingly, our wives, sisters
and daughters, are allowed eNlal privilege!
with us as to membership, and nearly thu
same as to filling official stations. AS the,
possess the same rights in relation to voting
upon the admission of new members, it fol
lows that there are stronger safeguard
against the reception of the unworthy thai
is the case with the majority of similar as
sociations.
Possessing such advantages, it is not t
be wondered at that Il stated meeting
answer an admirable purpose as a means c
recreation. In a special manner u lite
airy exercises conduce to that end. And
at times certain efforts seem somewhat be
meath the dignity we are expected to mair
tain, let us remember, that
ga little nonsense, now and then,
Is rclished by the wisest men,
Inasmuch as the definition of the term II
creation, as given by our standard lexicos
rapher, is, "Refreshment of the strengt
and spirits after toll; amusement; diver
sion y we conclude that farmers can be:
attain this desired end by joining the Grang'
and laboring to secure the full benefit

The Russians have advanced well into
Roumania, and are now in certain places
even upon the Danube. The Turks are
gathering along the south bank of that
great river, and before many weeks the
two armies will be in collision.
The first fighting has been in Asia south
of the Black Sea where the Russians are
advancing toward the west The Turks
report that they have repulsed some as
saults Of the enemy and it is thought
that battle of importance is imminent
near Kars.
The Turkish provinces in the north are
more likely to be of help TO RUSSIA than TO
the Porto. The Roumanians have not
disputed the Russian advance, and will no
doubt if they think it safe, take in active
part against the Turks.
England is greatly disturbed and there
is strong party that is anxious 10 inter-
fcre with any extension of Russian terri
tory or power. There is such feeling
against the Turks. however, feeling
Gladstone most prominently represents,
that we hardly believe Great Britain will
take any active part in the contest.
The other European nations would show
good sense in letting things take their
course, and this will be their action unless
they get frightened about the " balance of
power"
