very careful who you initiate as
members of your grange. You
had better initiate a few, and
they be good members, than to

bad ones. A gradual and
steady increase, not a sudden
and spasmodic one, is the best.
Slow and sure is an Anticipated

is very seldom that we are too
cautious in admitting members
into our order. The admission
of one or more envious and evil
minded individuals may prove
seriously detrimental, and be
the cause of much harm. Uni
ted strength, not merely great
numbers, is a sure index of real
prosperity. Fraternal associa-
tons exercises a powerful in

we understand courteousness,
uprightness, brotherly kindness,
being obliging and brotherly,

conduct inspires the feelings,
elevates the mind, improves our
social standing, and makes us
respected and beloved. Bear

The Cow Pea

Among the crops that should
receive more attention from
southern farmers is the COW pea.
1t thrives on all soils, and sue
ceeds under greater neglect and
. less cultivation than any crop
grown in the south. There is a
large number of varieties, and
though soue others are consid-
cred better for table use, the
blaekis the most popular for
a field crop, having the property
ofkeeping sound and good on
the ground all winter; may be
sown broadcast and plowed in,
Or in drills two and a half feet
apart, admitting of cultivating
after wheat oats, to be plowed
in again, when in bloom, for
green manuring, or allowed to
ripea a crop, which is usually
gathered by manipulating. And
again. they make most excellent
food for horses aud cows, if cut
just as the first pods are formed,
and fed green or cured. The
roots viii then Immediately send
up another growth that can be
turned underafor the benefit of
the next crop. Probably. how
ever, the most profitable use to
which they can be turned is to
be fed down to hogs, causing
them to lay on flesh rapidly,
though this win not be SO firm
and. solid as corn-fed pork; but
week or two on corn before
slaughtering, remedies that de-
feet. Cow peas are also valua-
Bile as catch crop among corn,
often producing a fine return
when droppedin at the time the.
corn is laid by. In fact, they
are very important item on ev-
cry southern farm; and should
be planted where ever there is
vacant land, even as late as Aug
ust first. and utilized in SEINE,
manner. If it is not desirable
to make use of them in any of
the above ways, they are always
in good demand in market at
fair prices.-Erchange.

[Chicago Times, 24l
According to general expectation, at noon
on yesterday, Mr.. N. K. Fairbank. president
of the board of trade, announced the expul-
sion of Mr.. w. N. Sturges from the mem
bership of the board, the action being the
result of the decision of the supreme court
in the appealed case, of which the following
is
FULL TEXT.
Appellant on the oath day of November,
1874, filed bill in chancery in the circuit
court of Cook county, in which among other
things it is alleged that certain proceedings
had taken place before the board of trade
and its officers, relating to proposition or
demand for the expulsion of appellant from
membership in that corporation, upon certain
charges; which proceedings, it is alleged,
were irregular, and in violation of the regu-
lations of the board that the president and
directors are inimical to appellant, and desire
to expel him from said board whether guilty
or not guilty, and that they have proceeded
to ballot and to ask all members to ballot and
vote upon the question of his expulsion; that
by ingenious and fictitious reports made by
| them to the board, they have created preiu-
dice against him, and that he is in danger of
being expelled; and appellant III his bill
prays for an injunction forbidding his expul-
sion, and all further action in such proceed
ings, and enjoining defendants (appellees)
from preventing or trying to prevent him
from entering the building Of such board.
temporary injunction was ordered and
issued The appellees filed answers, at
tempting to vindicate their actions, and in
sisting that complainant had no sufficient
ground for the relief sought. The iniunc-
ton was afterward dissolved by order of the
circuit court, and the court assessed damages
against the appellant upon its dissolution of
the injunction, and gave Judgment therefor
The complainant brings the record here on

has fully determined upon a course of action
IN the premises, he does not feel disposed to
make the same known as vet. He looks
upon the boards action as unjust, and thinks
! he can satisfy the majority that he has been
gr1evously wronged. His expulsion did not
surprise him at all, but he clearly betrays his
anxiety regarding reinstatement.

Tomorrow tries my tagging feet.

His stranger brother cannot be,
Methinks, as goodly company
Holding in his mysterious hand
Gifts that |ill bless or blight my land!

That boding step an hour delay.
What songs have told my spirits cheer,
What sunlight warmed the glowing year,
What dear companions round me hung,
While life and love and hope were young!
These with Tomorrow fade apace,
Like bloom from beloved face;
And trusting half, yet half with dread,
lquestion, "What shall be unsteady"
The sun drops deeper, night is chill;
The oracles seek are still;
Yon herald star which glitters low,
Seems reckoning on the way 90.
Tomorrow? All, that door doth ope
A new celestial path to Hope.
More than ask or dream must be,
