NEW MODE OF VISITING. /.

l The plan adopted by Pomona Grange
No. 3, Pa, of ideputizing committees to
visit weak Oranges is a. good one. 1t is
a point in the selection of the committees
to have one of the number as speaker.
Each committee is given in charge of the
nearest strong Grange, which is expected
to turn out in full force; includinga full
share of sisters.s The presence ola bright
busy Grange in doubling community
has an extraordinary effect. The Grange
visited being but thing of suspicion,
owing, perhaps, to the hard prejudiees
of the surrounding community, it has been
subject for jeer and contumely. But
when busting, merry. victorious crew
of intelligent women and men, full of faith
in the movement and equal to any bright
ness, fill an evening with song, sound talk
and social gaiety in the 'companionship OF
| those who never understood the Grange
Alright, then the Grange at once puts on a
new appearance. 1t looks strong, real
and beautiful, with w onderful possibilities

SILVER IN ARKANSAS

The silver excitement can hardly bo
called an excitement only but a real;tv
Richer quartz are being brought in DALI
and we are informed that the suppiv I,
inexhaustihle. Mrs. GLADDEN. states tba,
where she lives, about nine miles from
town, large amounts of silver and gold
quartz are found. She also says that an
old miner named Jones, who came THROUGH
this country many years ago, was very
much struck by what he termed gold ind
cations, and after a closer examination de-
clared that there was enough gold and
silver in that neighborhood to make everv
man in the State Independently rich. i
is not known why Mr.. Jones did not lead
in the development of such riches, but il
is supposed that he became offended with
some of the land owners, and left the
neighborhood and died. If minerals Of
such value are SO plentiful, and we have
no reason to regard the report adversely
especially as the richest of quartz have
been brought in to show for themselves
the exact locality from which the metal !,
excavated should no longer be kept secret
Some of our oldest and most experienced
citizens say that one hundred miners
would assist more at present in the devel
opment of our State than would three
times that number of capitalists 1t is BY
no means our desire to raise groundess
excitement, but the gold and silver inter
ests of this State are worth investigating.

NEW METHOD OF, j. CONTROL
LING VICIOUS HORSE

/ a new and very simple method of con-
trolling vicious horses was exhibited, in
West Philadelphia recently, and the man.
ner in which } some of u the, widest
horses were subdued !, was astonishing.
The first trial was that of kicking. or
''bucking" mare, which her owner said
had allowed no rider on her back, fog a
period of at least five years. She became
tame and gentle in about as many minutes,
and allowed herself to be, ridden around
without a sign of her former wildness.
The means by which the result was &C
leomplished, consisted of piece of light
rope, which was passed around the front
jaw of the mare, just above. the upper
teeth, crossed in her mouth and thence
secured back of her neck. 1t was claimed
that no horse will kick or jump hen thus
secured, and that "a "bucking' horse, after
receiving the treatment a few times, will
abandon his vicious way forever. A very
simple method was also shown by which
kicking, horse could be shods 1t con-
sisted in connecting the animals head and
and tail by means of a rope fastened to
the tail and then to the bit, and drawn,
tightly enouglf to incline the horses head
to one side. This it is claimed make it alb
solutely impossible for the horse to kick
on the side of the rope.aDAt the same ex-
hibition, a horse, which for many years
had to be bound ON the ground to be shod,
suffered the blacksmith to operate on him
without attempting to kick while secured

and there is at present. il, possible, a
greater demand that farmers organize for
the mutual protection of their interests,
and the maintenance of their rights than
when the first Grange was Instituted.

will also insure him the greatest measure

We respectfully ask the Patrons in Ar.
kansas and Florida who receive copies of
this issue of THE PATRON, to read them
carefully, and then bring them to the at
tention of their Oranges, OF to their friends
and neighbors if their Oranges should
have ceased to exist. As the price of sub
scriprion to clubs of ten is very low, we
have strong hopes that all of these Patrons
will raise clubs. The wide circulation of a
weekly journal devoted exclusively to the
Grange is SO clearly to the interest of all
farmers, that it would take but. little effort
on the part of the more active and intelli-
gent to impress this fact upon their neigh
bors and induce them to subscribe

ETMA'S ERUPTION.

Mount 4tna is now an eruption for the
seventy ninth time in history Aftna has
been one of the most regular of volcanoes
in, its eruptions, having never been silent
for any, length OF time like its neighbor
Nesuvfus.9 The latter has been known
to remainuquiescent, for cover century
and then burst forth in one of its widest
eruptions., Etna, on the other hand. has
never remained silent over fiftysyears As
a consequence people living in its neigh
-borhood are always prepared for an ernp-
ton, and therefore such lcatastrophes as
'befelr Pompeii and Herculaneuun are rarer
here than1in Italy. There have been be
mods, however, when Etna has proved
itself more than dangerous. In TI6o Ca
tania was destroyed and 1900 of its in !
ohabitants nperished3 in 1922 two Villages
near the mountain with many inhabitants
wereudestroyed;1 in 1864 and I67s, also
neighboring villages were destroyed and
lives lost. Since 1913, however, although
the the Volcano has more than once bro.
ken out no persons have lost their lives
thereby. The last great eruption of 1Astna
took place in 1859, since which time the
volcano has been quiet, save occasional
9outburts of smoke. The present eruption
-isideclared to be more threatening than
any previous oneai Although 1t is but a
short time since the first intimations of AN
eruption were given the lava is already

INCIDENTAL SHEEP HUSBAN-

One of the strongest of the elements
that have brought disaster to efforts at
sheen husbandry has been the desire to do
a big business. Men reared TO other call
ingsJ seeing the profits Others were reap.
ing from well directed efforts at sheep.
hnsbandry, have hasfened to become own
ers of flocks; while still others, who have
made money from few hundred sheep,
have beeonie. imbued with the idea, 1.-THE
more sheep, the more money" and have
soon placed themselves beyond the bounds
of prudence, by mourning indebtedness on
the one hand, and more care and labor
than thew are able to bestow on the other
hand--4both have been loyertaken by the
disaster their temerity invited. Toa ma
iority of farmers small lfiocks-that is,
numbers, remaining In the hundreds-will
be the most profitable The exceptions to
this rule will occur to every careful stu
dent of sheep husbandry. Not only can
the highest profit upon invested capital be
thus rendered more certain, but the dis
appointments that occasionally follow the
best of plans, and the most careful mani
pulation, are, by no means SO disastrous.
Where sheep are handled as an incident
to general farming operationse-the plan
now contemplated--care should be had
that they do not trespass upon the other
interests. When the farmer feels that his
sheep are burden-that is, that they are
drawing upon the other departments for
time and feed not before assigned toothem
he should fatten, and sell down to such
number as will conveniently work along
his crop and otherilive stock Local butch
ers will always pay a fair price for few
good wethers,} and some ineighbor can
usually be found ready to make room for
few desirable store sheep. AS the fa-
cilities for enhancing the numbers of the
flock improve, the annual drafting may
may be confined to full grown wethers,
and such ewes as, by reason of age or
other, dIsqualifying peculiarities, are I'M
desirable The, heNibihty of a small flock
