over date of June 6:
As far as my observation goes, the season,
in spite of the many cold nights, (frost on the
9Th and Sth) is remarkably forward On the
9th picked a small mess of wild strawber-
ries. Tulips usually just coming into bloom
have been out of blossom for ten days,-peas
in blossom fortnight since, and white lilacs
usually in bloom the 18th of June, were in
blossom the 2Sth of May.

''THE PATRON OF HUSBANDRY"

ADOPTED BY THE STATE GRANGE
OF MISSISSIPPI AS ITS OFFICIAL
JOURNAL, DEC. IL, 1873
The Special committee on the Grange
Press made the following report:
Your committee on that portion of the Mas
ter's Address referring to the Grange Press, have
had the same under consideration and heartily
approve the suggestions therein contained, and
especially do they approve all that he says in
commentator of THE PATRON OF HUSBAND
RY," published at Columbus, in our State,
journal earnest and Jealous in cause, and ev
cry way worthy of the support and should be in
the hands of every Patron in Mississippi and the
entire Southwest; therefore, we would offer the
following resolutions and ask their adoption:
Resolved, That "THE PATRON OF HUSBAND
RY," published at Columbus by Bro. w. H. Wor-
Ellington, be adopted as the official organ of this
State Grange.
Resolved, That the Master, Secretary, Execu-
tive Committee, etc, publish all official orders,
circulars, etc, in THE PATRON, and that the Off
GERS of the State Grange contribute regularly to
is editorial columns.
Resolved, That the State Oranges of Florida,
Alabama, Tennessee, Arkansas, Louisiana and
Texas be requested to take similar action and each
State Grange conduct department in said Jour
nal.
Resolved, That this State Grange earnestly
appeals to the more active members of the Order
in the above States to aid in extending the circu
lation of THE PATRON as an important means
of building up and perpetuating the Order.

it out that they, the people, pay that sum
out of the business they send the house
through that influence.
But stranger thing than all this is, that
the people fail to take and read by the
tens of thousands "THE PATRON OF HUs-
BANDRY," and such sheets, working in the
interests of the people, when THE PATRON
will not admit into its columns for any
consideration the advertisements and COM
munications of those whose sole object
and business are to make money out of the
custom of the people. That splendid pa
constantly filled to the full with informa-
ton by which the people may not
only be benefited financially, but that d.
reefs them constantly to independence in
things in which they ought to be indie
pendent, but are not for want of infor-
nation Not one single issue of that
paper comes out without some fact of
which the people should be fully possess
ed. Education to know what to do and
how to do, is the only highway to self
preservation, and self preservation is gen.
eral good. 1t is to these ends that "THE
PATRON OF HUsBANDRY" is laboring with
remarkable zeal, ability, and fidelity.
1t is the business of the business world
to take care of itself. Let the people do
likewise. They have the same right to
take care of themselves. Then educate by
every possible and available means The
business world has its business associa-
tons, as Boards of Trade, and their pa
pers to educate, and they do educate, and
they are profited thereby at the expense
Of the people. Let the people have associa
| tons, and they can have none better than
the Grange. Let them have papers spe-
cially devoted to their interests, and they
have had none to compare with the purely
Grange papers, among the foremost OF
which is THE PATRON OF HUsBANDRY.
1t is proper for me to add that have nc
interest financially in this or any other
paper
In conclusion, l would say: save your
money by cooperation that you now pay
somebody else to do business for you, and
you will have time and means for educa
| ton. w. maxwell.

DON'T LOSE A MINUTE.

Keep busy. The man who has moth
ing to do is the most miserable of beings.
If you have no regular work, do chores as
farmers do when it rains too hard for
them to work in the field. In occupation
we forget our troubles, and get respite
from sorrow The man whose mind and
hands are busy finds no time to weep and
wall. If work is slack, spend the time in
reading No man ever knew too much.
The harvest students in the world are the
old men who know the most If you lack
books, there are free or very cheap libra
ries, at least in cities, at your command.
The man who does not acquire some item
of useful information between daylight
and bedtime must mournfully say, with
the Roman emperor, 81 have lost day"
The patron of husbandry. (Columbus, Miss.) 1875-1883, 1879-05-31

Reader, are you anxious for the pros
perity of the Order of Patrons of Hus-
bandry? If so, are you working for the
mplishment of this object? Remem-
Der that great results can only be obtained
by conscientious labor and untiring ener-
CIV, and if you want the farmers of your
township to realize that the Grange is a
valuable institution worthy their attention
and support, you must showithem by your
own work and conversation that you are
in earnest; that you have confidence in the
institution yourself, and that you are anx-
ious to have your neighbors enjoying the
privileges and advantages of the Order
you profess to value.-Farmer'S Friend.

QUEEN VICTORIA'S DAIRY.

The Queen of England has very nice
dairy farm, which is thus described by one
who has examined it. 1t is mile from
Windsor Castle:
The dairy is beautiful cottage, with a
marble-paved and frescoed vestibule. The
interior is a room about thirty feet square,
the roof supported by six octagonal
columns of white marble, with richly
carved capitals. The floors are of white
porcelain tiles, the windows stained glass,
bordered with hawthorn blossoms, daisies,
buttercups and primroses. The floors are
lined with tiles of porcelain of a delicate
blue tint, with rich medallions inserted of
the Queen, Prince Consort, and each of
the children. Shields, monograms of the
royal family, and bas-reliefs of agricultu-
raj design, representing the seasons, COM
plete the ornamentation of this exquisite
model dairy.
All around the wall runs marble ia
BILE, and through the centre two long ones
are supported by marble posts, resting on
basins, through which runs perpetual
stream of spring water. By this means
| the slabs of the tables are always cold and
the temperature of the dairy is chill, while
the white and gilt china milk and butter
placed in water The delicious milk is
brought into the room in. bright metal
| buckets, lined with porcelain, and the
Queens monogram and crest glittering on
the brass plates on the covers. In the
room where the butter is made, milk
SKINNED and strained, the eyes may be
feasted on the rows OF metallic, porcelain
lined cans of every size, made to lock, and
sent to the royal family, even as far as
Scotland, or wherever they may chance
to be, so they always have good milk and
butter The churn is of metal also, lined
with porcelain, and made into two COM
partments. The outside chamber can have
warm or cold water poured in to regulate
the temperature. The lid is screwed on,
and the stationary stand on which the
whole is turned makes the work easy and
rapid. But while over sixty cows are daily
MIXED, and as many more are out gra-
zing, the royal family are more than sat
isfed, and the Londoners growl that the
overplus is sold, and the money pocketed
by their money making sovereign.

We have always thought that the farm.
er spends more hours than necessary in
the fields, except in harvest time. 1t is too
common to see him engaged from five or
six in the morning until 9 o'clock at night.
There is growing tendency to diminish
able to do an honest days work in ten
hours, and when the hired hand has faith
fnlly done his ten hours work, except on
extra occasions, it is time to lay by. But
the great trouble is, the modern farm hand
is too often shirk, and still oftener nei-
ther tries to improve or indeed has any
desire to be skilled laborer. The excep-
tons occasionally seen only make the
contrast the stronger, and they soon &C
quire means enough to set up for them
selves

A careful estimate respecting the cir
culation of the Bible during the past CEN
fury places the total at the enormous num-
Der of nearly 100000 copies. The
British and Foreign Society is in advance
of any other institution of the kind as re-
CARDS the number of copies issued. 1t was
founded in 1904, and has circulated up
ward of 100000 copies. The Ameri-
can Society, founded thirteen years later,
has caused a circulation of 100000.
These two organizations are far in adj
vance of all others. Next in respect of
copies circulated are the German Socie-
ties, which together have issued 100000.
Then comes the National Society of Scot
land with nearly 4,768,ooo, the Hibernian
with 4,ISo,ooo, the Swiss with nearly
100000, and the French with 100000.
The National Society of Scotland has cir
