THE A PURPOSE.

Every dellberative assembly, whatever
various purposes may be contemplated in
it's conversation, says the Grange Bulletin,
tacitly accepts some general principle as its
basis of procedure, Or the keynote of it's
spirit. Now the general design of the
grange is to promote the thrift of the farm
err. We use the term 'thrift' in its most
comprehensive sense. 1t involves not only
a material prosperity, but a growth in all
that appertains to q noble manhood. The
prime purpose in the order was to promote
social intercourse. But social intercourse is
not satisfied with idle gossip, the local news,
a friendly NOD and a good supper. It in
wolves in a greater or less degree an intel
lectual and moral training. But at an early
day the wants of farmers suggested the ex-
pediency of cooperation in buying and sell
ing. For a time this feature of the order
suggested precedence over all else, and was
not only the secret Of mrltitudes uniting
with the grange, but Of the virulence and
Recommendations of it's enemies. Better
c%ounsels have prevailed. While not discard
inc to a certain extent, the pecuniary advan-
tages to be attained by cooperative buying
and selling, it is now recognized that a
greater good can be secured through the
power of acquiring knowledge. As an edu-
| c~ational factor the subordinate grange
| stands pre-eminent. And willie the three
imposes above stated are preserved and are
intimately blended, the beneticent influences
of education are now considered of para
mount Importance. The farmer must step
to the 'front.'.

A PRESSING WANT.

The members Of the order of Patrons Of
IIusbandry have much to learn and much
to discuss, and it will take a long time to
bring farmers to a true knowledge Of the
different subjects that effect their interest in
common with the interests Of every other
industry. We want to know how better to
work our soils, ~fertilize and preserve our
lands, prepare the products Of our farms for
market. We want to know how better to
adorn our houses, plant gardens and lawns,
make orchards and vineyards, and render
our homes attractive and happy. We want
to know how better to educate our children,
and teach them science and sound morality,
without sectarianism or fallaclons snperstl-
tions. We want to know how better to
Judge men and to learn their motives, when
designing demagogues attempt to use us for
their selfish purposes. We a to know
better how nations and people are governed,
and how taxes are levied and collected. We
want to know where all wealth comes from
who creates it and Who boards it. We
want to know how m%onopolies originate
where they are created, and for whose ben
| eft they are run. We want better to know
the cheapest way in which governments can
be supported, whence comes the reyenue.
and who are the beneficiaeies of the nation
al treasury. All this and much more may
be learned by association and discussion in
our oranges, if we have the patience and
energy to attend the meetings regularly, and
each one do his or her part in the grand
work of education and elevation of the agri-
cultural masses of this country.-Far7ner's

PATRONS OF HUSBANDRY.
GRANGE STORES ON THE ROCHDALE
PLAN.

There are now probably several hundred
grange cooperative stores in the United
States, organized In accordance with the
plan recommended by the National Grange.
There should be Il cooperative store in ev-
cry neighborhood where the memherrhip of
the order is sufficient to sustain one. 1t re-
quires but very little money to put such a
store in successful operation, as nothing
should be bought for show. The stock
should consist OF only such articles as the
people will actually want and have the cash
to pay for. When Il cooperative store is
established, every man becomes his W
merchant. and If a Woman makes ten pounds
OF butter and sells it to the store, the after
profits Of that butter will proportionally re-
turn to her pocket, If she holds a share in
the store. All customers are entitled to
quarterly dividends in proportion to their
purchases from the store. Those who are
not members receive but one-half the pro-
portion paid to members. Cooperation is
destined to become as popular in Atnerica
as in Europe, saving millions to those en-
gaging in 1t and always helping the poor.
The grange is steadily marching forward
in the right direction. As American farm
ers we stand higher and see further to-day
than we did when the grange was first OF
ganized. Then but two words-farmers.

But they here had a magical power. To,

ing cathartic medicine that can be
employed: cleansing the stomach and
bowels, and even the blood. In small
doses of one pill day, they stimulate
the digestive organs and promote Wig
orous health.
AYERS PILLS have been known for
more than quarter OF century, and
have obtained a worldwide reputation
for their virtues. They correct dis
cascd action i'm the several assimila-
tive organs OF the body, and are SO
composed that Instructions within
their range can rarely withstand or
cvade them. Not only do they cure
the everyday complaints of every
body, but also formidable and danger
Gus diseases that have baffled the best
Of human skill. While they produce
powerful effects, they are, at the same
time, the safest and best physic for
children. By their aperient action
they grippe much less than the common
purgatives, and never give pain when
the bowels are not infamed. They
reach the vital fountains of the blood,
and strengthen the system by freeing
1t from the elements of weakness.
Adapted to ell ages and conditions
In all climates, containing neither
calomel nor any delcterious drug,
these Pills may be taken with safety
by anybody. Their sugar-coating pre-

them pleasant to take; while being
purely vegetable, no harm can arise
from their use in any quantity.

We must distrust and avoid the credit
system. Our knowledge on this point
has been gained BY bitter experience. 1t
is rot likely that this distru.t will lead
to the destruction Of confidence and the
checking of legitimate enterprises; for it
will surely turn out that confidence will
not be impaired where it ought to be be-
slowed, and that credit will still be
available in the prosecution of sound en-
terprises. But We must bear in mind
that speculation is the riskiest operation
men can 90 into; and that to live by
ones wits. or by light and fancy employ
ments, is not nearly SO certain to bring
substantial returns and enduring profits
as Legitimate business and honest hard
