THERE are two different ways OF con-

one is TO buy young steers, keep them

at four year-olds. Per head the increase

A department clerk having to solicit a
favor of his chief who Is horribly deaf,
asks an audience Of the great man, and
on being ushered into his presence
shrieks:
q am glad sir, to see that your deaf

Hey?' says the great man, putting
his hand to his esr.
q am glad, sir, to see that your deaf

The great man puts his hand down
from his ear and shoves a pencil and a
pad OF paper over to the clerk.
The clerk hesitates a moment, but
then resolutely writes: q am glad, sir,
to see that your deafness has almost en-

The BEE AT The ALTAR.

A duskv bee. with his gossamer wings
Fluttering soft in the summer air,
Came, through the chapel window low,
To the shrine, where the priest, in his Ues Of
snow,
Was breathing the conservation prayer.
Humming its dulcet hymn Of praise.
Balancing bright on bis gauzy wings,
The bee hung over the altar-stOne
over the miniature marble throne
Which bore the weight Cf the King OF kings.
Close 10 the sacrifcial hand
OF the fair young priest the creature drew,
As though in the host and the sacred wine

Heavenly honey, celestial dew!

In coming down the mountain one Of
the long cared freight transporters fell
over a precipice and broke his neck.

OF his lamentations. Mr.. WATSON tried
to coax the grief-stricken mountain

up his voice and wept, and would not
be comforted Then Mr. WATSON cs-

Editor Patron: 1t is of the ut
most importance that farm ers and
Patrons of Husbandry should un-
derstand the difference between
joint stockism and CO operation, as
recommended by the National
Grange, and taught by all well in
formed Patrons. The clear under
standing Of this difference by them
would at once arouse them to action
in favor of co operation. They
would take hold of it with the de-
termination to carry out its prinCi-
Piles that knows no failure, thereby
saving all the net profits on their
business both in buying and selling
Joint-stockism is cooperation to
limited extent. In joint-stockism
capital draws all the profits. Co
operation is in favor of custom,
that is capital and custom enter in
to copartnership. That is to say
that first the expense of the bust
ness is paid then reasonable per
cent is allowed, or set aside tor cap
ita!. Then custom (Patrons) gets
its prorata part OF the profit, based
upon the amount of business fur
nished. Capital is dependent upon
business for interest, and business
is dependent upon capital to furnish
supplies to custom; hence one is
dependant upon the other, each
entiLled,to profits on a basis agreed
upon or set forth in the by laws
Cooperation distributes, and joint
stockism concentrates. Cooperation
leaves the profits in the hands Of
the producers which will et entually
enable all who conform to it's teach
ings TO educate their children, to
have better improved farms, better
farm implements and machinery.
better houses to live in, better stock,
and enable them to make two
blades of grass to grow where but
one is now growing, and farming
will become more honorable, farm-
ers and their families a contented
and happy class, and a higher
manhood and womanhood Will be
attained by them. Joint-stockism
takes all the profits from the pro-
Queer, concentrating it in the hands
of the few, and building up cities
and monopolies at thesexpense of
the producer.
Brother farmers, you have for
many ioug years patronizcd joint
stockism. you have felt it's oppress-
ion, and you now have an opportu-
nifty to rid yourself of it by accept
ing cooperation. Choose you this
day whom you will serve.

We had the pleasure of attending
the appointment OF Worthy Master
Darden at Cocker Chapel Grange.
nine miles east of Meridian. on
Wednesday last. 1t was one of the
most pleasant Grange meetings we
ever attended. The hall and the
speakers stand in the grove were
beautifully and tastefully orna
mented with fruits, flowers and
grain, which spoke we'll for the in
telllgence and success of the farm
ers in that section, We noticed a
variety OF October peaches, grown
by Bro. Stinson, which were very
superior in size, appearance and
flavor. and has gained quite a repu-
tation. The dinner was superb,
and was greatly enjoyed by the
large crowd in attendance.
The members of Cocker Chapel
Grange are a fine looking body
and seemed to be in excellent spir-
it's. They have kept up their
Grange to high state of efficiency.
and will keeb fully up with the for
ward movement now going on in
this State.

Editor Patron. At a meeting of
Capital Grange, No. 70, on the 18th
of August, it was proposed that
each Patron present should examine
the cotton crops of his vicinity and
report to the next meeting, which
was to be on Friday, 10th of Sep
TENDER. They were to report as
to what amount of damage had
been done the crop by rain and the
boil worm and blight rust since
the 18th of July.
From these reports it was esti-
mated that the crop had fallen off
II per cent. This conclusion | con-
slider far below the mark. / do not
think it possible to get more than
half crop. | have conversed with
some of my more observant neigh
bors, most of whom estimate the
damage at so per cent.
Our corn crop. which was fine
one, has been damaged by the wet
weather. Much of it has been
blown down, and has sprouted and
rotted.

FROM GEORGIA.

Editor Patron. | am instruct>
ed to furnish THE PATRON the tol>
lowing preamble and resolutions of
Willacoochee Grange, No 612.
WHEREAS, We have learned with
profound pleasure that Colonel T.
J. Smith, Worthy Master of Georgia
State Grange. is making a gallant
and heroic effort to restore to the
Order the dormant Oranges in our
noble State. And that he should
have the hearty cooperation OF all
Gran es and individual Patrons of
Grorgia in his effort to make the
Geange in our State what it should
be, power for good in the land.
ResolUed, That we sincerely en-
treat all working Oranges and in
dividual Patrons from the noun
tains to the coast, to rally around
and unite with Colonel T. J. Smith,
Worthy Master Of Georgia State
Grange, in his noble and laudable
undertaking to restore to the tillers
of the soil of Georgia the dormant
Oranges, an institution that will
rebound to their good and be a
blessing to their children and to
those who will follow after them.
ResoIued 2, That we, the members
of Willacoochee Grange, No. 612,
pledge to Colonel Smith an unceas-
ing support, and will most heartily
co operate with him in reviving our
noble Order with all the means at
our command.
ResoIued 3, That these resolutions
be published in our official journal
THE PATRON OF HUsBANDRY, pub
lished at Columbus, Miss.
The above resolutions were unan-
imously adopted and ordered to be
recorded on the minutes of Villa
coochee Grange.

Now. what is to be done? The
time has come when we must be rep
resented, or our interests are lost.
There is none fit TO represent us
except men of our own calling. We
have a great many pious instruct
ors and advisors; but we know our
necessities better than any one else
can know them. Besides the lack
of knowledge they like the inclina-
ton; for birds of feather will leg
islate together. Hence [ am con-
WINGED of the fact that we can only
have protective legislation through
MISREPRESENTATION. We can only
get the representation, through a
strict adherence to the principles OF
co operation. 1t would make no
difference how successful our finan-
cial corporation may be it will not
benefit us much if we still have to
to bear the burden Of monopoly or
class legislation.
Hence we must cooperate; CO.
operate in our organized parties it
practical. If not [ am of the opin-
ion that an agricultural and me.
chanical party would not be amiss.
Through an organization of our
own we would be more likely to
avail ourselves of the advantages
offered through cooperation. Our
influence would be more quickly
felt. Our demands would be more
respected, and no longer buried by
the Chairman of mock Agricul-
tural Committee, who knows nor
feels any interest in an agricultural
people, save the fleeing. Let co.
operation be our watchword. The
lowing and bleating of the coop
erative cattle does not sound as
doleful in my ears as it does in the
ears of A. P. III. in agricultural
paper. Indeed the music is rather
angelic. My prayer is that toe
lowing and bleating may continue
to ring in the ears OF the opponents
of CO operation, as did the + egyptian
Locust in the ears of Pharoah, un-
til there is cooperative store, and
a co operative factory in every
neig hborhood. A cooperative Leg
isiature in every State, and co
operative Congress at Washington.
Then NAV the lowing and bleating
cease, and the oppressors allowed to
lie down by the still waters and
feed upon the green pastures of
equally distributed burdens and
equal justice to all men.
