The Subordinate Oranges that have the
blues, and are forever hating between
two opinions, whether to go ahead, or,
like "grandfathers clock" stop short and
forever, can generally attribute their low
estate to one of three causes First
Some local trouble in the Grange There
never yet was mule team hitched to the
wagon, that one of them didn't kick. Do
something to stop the kicking or the beam
will be "demoralized." Second.-Build-
ing Hall and not paying for it. This is
an evil under the sun and sore burden,
and the violation of the first principles of
the Order. Owe no man anything, but
to love one another. Third.-Neither do
ing, nor trying to do anything This is
the most prolific source ofdiscouragement.
Where no cultivation is, weeds and tares
grow. The unused pillow rusts. What
thy hand finds to do, do it with thy
might is as good for the Grange as for the
field Grange Bulletin.

In the same county and composed of

frequently find two Oranges the counter
part of each other-the one in earnest. dill

Now, what is the cause of this diferencef
Sift the whole matter and it will be found
that the whole lies in zeal on the one part
and want of it on the other. The life
and activity will also be in proportion to
the general zeal. A few jealous members
may keep Grange alive, but it is only
when this spirit takes hold of many that
1t becomes power. Brother Patron, is
your Grange success? Have you done,
and are you doing you part to make the
meetings pleasant and useful? If yes
then infuse some of your zeal into the
others. Ifno-then turn over new leaf.

''oNLY a FARMERS RAUGHTER."
"Why is your education sufficient for a

Noble words, spoken by noble woman,

REASONS WHY THE LIEN LAW

1st Because it gives the power to CAPT
tai to demand and enforce the cultivation
of cotton to the almost total exclusion OF
the supply crops.
I'd. By which it also confers on capital
the power to fix the price both on the
cotton produced and the supplies to be
bought.
3D. Because it thereby continues indefi-
nitely the power of capital to control the
direction of agriculture.
Ath. 1t prevents that diversity of crops
which is necessary to the development of
she great natural resources of our State.
5th. It thereby prevents the accumula-
ton of money in our midst, which would
ensue were supplies of all kinds made at
home for home consumption, instead of
importing them.
9th It prevents the encouragement and
sup.,ort of all kinds of home mechanical
industry, and especially the manufacture
of our great staple, by the impecunious
condition it entails.
9TH. Under the system of indiscriminate
credit it has established, it makes under
writers of the energetic and prompt far
mers, by extortionate prices for supplies

thy: muscle, not intelligence and charac-
ter, being the only qualification required
Sth It has taken from the landholdei
the control of the labor which cultivates
his land, thereby wasting its fertility and
preventing improvement of all kinds.
9th. BY the over production of cottor
snd the neglect of food crops, which it has
forced, as the terms of credit, the price Of
the former has fallen so much below the
cost of production that the best manage
ment with the most rigid economy leaves
no profit to the cultivator of cotton.
18th. Because the lien it gives is or
something not in existence, and conse
quently it operates as a mortgage on The
labor necessary to produce it: debasing to
manhood, by reducing the will, as well "a
thermuscle, to state of slavery as abjec
as the tear of hunger could make it.

Editoy Patron. [ wish to write a few
lines on cooperation. All who are well
informed in regard to it, admit that coop
Grafton is complete success in Europe
and also in this country. We are co-ope-
rating here in business, and find it great
saving. All may cooperate without fear,
as 5sie principle is easily understood and
simple in practice. 1t is the only thing
left to enable us to hold our own.
Every stakeholder in a cooperative
store should stand by his own house, and
never pay his money to merchants, because
he will never see it again. Stand by your
own store regardless of prices, for the
profits are yours. Never give the mer-
chants any of your capital or influence,
for they will be sure to use it all against
you.
Now, brother Patrons, you know we
can save great deal by cooperation in
our neighborhood, and we have said by
our actions that we want State co-ope-
rative house. l will say that, according
to my judgment, this is the biggest and
best thing we have hit on yet. Let us sell
and buy every thing through that house,
and in twelve months every Grange store
in Texas will be trading direct with the
manufacturers There is no doubt of this,
for the manufacturers say to us, make the
business, and we will go to you. Now,
brethren, sell and buy through our State
Agency, whether it pays now or not. We
will gain largely in the long run. and it
is plain to be seen that we can do all the
business of our country after we get to
the factory. You may think these are
pretty high marks for common clod-
knocker, but SO sure as we do our duty it
will be 500 Now, let us all do our whole
duty like men. The time for action has
come. You all know that we have made
a great many middlemen rich. Let us
change all this, and do our duty to our
selves and families-let the middleman re-
tire and take back seat and the farmer
have and enjoy what is his own.

Debt is the bane of civilized life. The
man who never buys anything until he
has the cash to pay it, is an independent
sovereign. The man who owes, belongs
to somebody else. Going in debt is gam
bling on the chances of the future. and
the chances are always against you. Buy-
ing for cash is discounting the present
laughing at adversely, and surely brings
competence and peace. Be w;se-don't

REMEDY FOR HOG CHOLERA

Every paper in the United States ought
occasionally to keep the fact before its
readers that burnt corn is sure cure for
hog cholera. The best way is to make a
pile of corn on the cob, and effectualIy
sseortch it. The remedy was discovered by
F. +. Locke, of Lewiston, Ill, at his dis
ttillery, which was burnt, together with a
large lot of corn which was so much in
Jured as to be unfit for use and was hauled
out and speedily eaten by the hogs, after
many of the drove had been diving daily.
After the second day not hog died, and
the disease entirely disappeared. The
remedy has been tried in a number of in
stances since, never failed.-Ex.

Facts for Advertisers and Business
Men

That advertising in the columns of the Catedo-
MAN is the cheapest and best way to reach the peo
pie of st. Johnsbury and vicinity, we offer the
following:
1. Advertisements are set in bold, attractive
type, and are printed so they can be read.
2. The Oaledonian is favorite local paper, is
read by all the household and goes into nearly ev-
cry family, as the following figures show:
3. There are 524 copies taken regularly in this
town. Taking he common estimate of five read
ers to each paper and it will be seen the Caledo-
nian has over $500 constant readers in St. Johns
bury.
4. While circular or handful may be at once
thrown aside or destroyed local paper is usually
preserved for days and weeks, and is frequently
referred to- thus increasing the chances of seeing
an advertisement many fold
s. As we carefully exclude Objectionable and
disguised advertisements and intend to print only
those of legitimate and respectable business, par
ties who use our columns have the advantage of
good company
