For years David Allingsworth suf-
fered with rheumatism, and notwith-
standing the best medical treatment,
could not find relief. He came to the
Sciota county poorhouse, and had to be
carried into and out OF bed, on account
of his helpless condition. After the
failure of all the remedies which had
been applied, the directors of the poor.
house resolved to use the celebrated
German remedy, st. Jacobs Oil, and this
was fortunate resolution for, with
the trial of one bottle, the patient was
already much better, and when four bot
ties had been used upon him, he could
again walk about without the use of a
cane. The facts, as above stated, will
be verified by the editor of the Ports
mouth, Ohio, Correspondent.

The two mills here consume from g.
900 to 10000 tons of seed per year.
Twenty seven cotton seed oil mills are
run in the south. Suppose the capacity
of each mill to be 5000 tons per year
$4,000 tons, or 10000, 900 pounds Of
cotton seed would be annually consumed.
Tho total amount consumed, however,
would probably reach 10000 tons per
year.
Tw,-thirds of the oilcake produced
in this country is sent to England, and
is extensively used there in the feeding
Of cattle and sheep. The price in the

The patron of husbandry. (Columbus, Miss.) 1875-1883, 1880-03-20

When we consider the peculiar circum-
stances attending the organization and
operation of the Grange and the charac-
ter of the opposition that it has had to
meet and overcome, it is simply wonder
full that the organization exists in a single
State. The men who were entrusted with
the organization of Oranges in the early
days of the Order were for the most part
entirely incompetent for the work; very
few understood the principles and purpo-
ses of the organization they were recruit
ing for, and many engaged in it merely
for the fees they were paid. This great
mistake, which the more thoughtful mem
bers saw at the time, but, in the hurry and
excitement of new organization just
springing into life Were utterly powerless
to correct, caused great numbers of farm
ers to doubt the permanency of the move
ment. In almost every State there were
scores of professional office-seekers or
ganizing Oranges who accepted any and
every applicant; in the towns and villages
where Oranges were organized, mer-
chants and lawyers not only joined, but
secured the more important offices and
were the leading spirits at all meetings.
This of itself was almost enough to kill
the Order, and it has cost the good men
years of effort to weed out these danger
Gus members, who were known to be
opposed to the principles of the Grange.
Weare very far from charging that all
lawyers and merchants joined the Grange
from improper motives. We have seen
many from these classes who really en-
dorse its principles and purposes and
have made useful members
The opposition to the Grange from
other classes, the merchants, lawyers,
capitalists, middlemen of all kinds and
degree, and the political and agricultural
press, has shown itself in every form.
No popular organization of any kind in
this country ever excited such bitter and
unrelenting hostility. Other classes have
organized for protective operations with
out encountering word of opposition;
but the movement of the farmers to form
secret organization for similar purpose
was the signal for the combined attack
from every direction. Abuse, misrepre-
sentation, ridicule, every weapon that the
practiced writer or orator could use, as
sailed it On all sides, and the men who had
the courage and honesty TO defend and
advocate the principles and purposes of
the Grange have had to. face every form
ofopposition. Of course all this had its
influence. Such powerful and systemat
C opposition was enough almost to crush

IN ORDER NOW.

Now that the annual meetings of the
State Oranges have been held and pro-
Fmulgated their interesting and instruc-
tive proceedings to the masses of the Sub
ordinate and County Oranges, it comes in
order for the auxiliary forces of the latter
to do work that will spread the good re-
suits of these meetings and thus increase
the efficiency of the Order in general. To
be more explicit in thus reasoning, the aux
Hilary forces in the Subordinate and Coun-
ty Oranges must arrange matters in their
meetings for strict observance of the re-
commentators that come to them from
the State and Narional parent heads of the
Order. By adhering as tenaciously as
possible to the theory of these recommen-
dations there will undoubtedly ensue a
general nbbuildine of Grange interests in
every State and thus more firmly cement
the pertuity of the Order.
Grange influence is now SO widespread
that no apprehensions of decline can pos
sess the hearts of the most loyal Patrons
or the most INSCRIPTIONS demagogues. It
has stemmed the tide and foated so heroi-
cally with the current of maligning inhu-
ences that its most sanguine and daring
enemies have started on a retrograde
movement and within themselves resolved
that while they must die the Grange 7Vikl

This work of uP6uildine must have a

be to lay considerable stress upon the

I'D. Resolved, That we hereby recon-
mend to all Subordinate Oranges and
members of the Order, to do all in their
power to increase the circulation of "THE
PATRON OF HUsBANDRY" published at

And vet. this epposi-

any organization. And yet this opposl-s
ton was by no means as effective in its
influence as that which the Order has. en-
countered from large number of farmers
in every section. This latter opposition
is due as much to ignorance as anything
else The Grange was such an innova-
ton upon the old order of things, and the
mass of uneducated people of all classes
are so averse to change and still more to
the effort necessary to inform themselves,
that they looked with suspicion upon the
new organization, and seeing no immedi-
.ate benefits likekly tn flow from it, they
have regarded it with something of the
|sullen indifference of the Indian who
sees the onward march of civilization
without being able to comprehend its
meaning. The great mass of farmers who
stand off from the Grange will not seek
nor even willingly receive the informa-
ton necessary to a proper comprehension
of the principles and aims of the Order
The political, and even the agricultural
press purposely keep them in the dark
by ignoring or disappearing the
Grange, and the officers of the Grange
have not the time to instruct them.
Taking all of these things into conside-
ration, it is not a matter Of surprise that
the Order has not increased in numerical
strength since the excitement which pre-
vailed during the period of organization,
or that it has lost strength in many local
ties, but rather that it exists at all as an
active organization.
The far-seeing, deep thinking, earnest
men of the Order, the patriotic men who
love principle and are willing to make
sacrifices in noble cause, saw and un-
derstood the nature and strength of the
opposition that would be arrayed against
the Grange, and they met it bravely and
fought it at every turn. To these true
men, who are found in the National
Grange, and in every State and Subordi-
nate Grange, is the credit due for the
safety and present power and usefulness
of the Grange. The future of the Grange
i is upward and onward.

BETTER STILL FROM CANADA

The last number of the canadian Far
mer'' gives still better showing of the
progress of the Order in Canada. 1t says:
"The Grange in Canada of to-day is
quite different institution from that of
four years ago. Then it was in its early
infancy, with broad upturned fields of &C.
ton before it; to-day itstands as an organ
ization whose principles have been tried
and found to stand the test of trial. An
impetus has been given to the farmers
life; thought and study have been brought
to bear, through its influence, upon the
work of the farm. Our young people be-
gin to see that farm life can be made agree
able and honorable; that there is room
and opportunity for cultivated intellect:
that while following the plow and cult
waiting the soil, they can find opportunity
to cultivate the mind. The Grange has
taught them this, and has given. them
golden opportunities. Parents, support
the Grange for your children's sake:
young people, support the Grange for
your own sakes.
The Grange is steadily gaining strength
and doing glorious work in Canada
