lhls is very trying time on stock, the
most of the farmers not having provender
enough to feed them, owing to the severe
drouth of last summer. The range that
has usually supplied this want has been
almost entirely cut off, except in some fa-
vorable localities. A great many cattle
have died, and many more of the feebler
ones must go under if there is not an i'm
mediate change to warmer weather and
less fierce winds. We have had splendid
rains all over the State, which augurs
well for good crop year, notwithstand-
ing the back-set. Farmers generally have
cotton seed enough to plant again, which
can soon be done, as their lands are in a
forward state of cultivation.
GRANGE NOTES.
Ledbetter Grange is looking up. There
were eight new accessions at the last
meeting. Our Cooperative Association
met to-day to ratify their constitution and
bylaws and elect business manager.
Bro. @. J. Steck was almost unanimously
elected. The meeting was well attended,
considerable stock taken, and great deal
of business transacted. General peace and
harmony prevailed-with good dinner,
as usual. Fraternally, H. A. ADAMS.

LIFE IN THE GRANGE.

We had the pleasure of attending a
meeting of Lambert's Point Grange No
o75, Norfolk county, few evenings
since. This Grange meets weekly. Our
visit was unexpected. We received a
most cordial welcome and hearty greeting,
and felt as if we were among our own
family of brothers and sisters The third
and fourth degrees were conferred upon a
sister, and brother was taken through
the field work and drilled in the beautiful
lessons of the first and second degrees.
We learned that Cottage Grange, No.
6SS, in the same county, at its next meet
ing, would vote upon fVc applications for
membership, and that Churchland Grange
No. 10, in the same county, would have,
before the next meeting, eight applications
to be acted upon. 1t this county the
Grange interest, so far from tagging, is
no the increase, and the same may be said
in regard to most of the Tidewater coun-
ties. The heat of the "liUe COAL" which
CLOVIS so brightly upon the affairs of these
Oranges, will be difiused, and being of a
most healthful and enlivening character
will give renewed life and vigor to the Or

A CLASS 1SSuE

We are not advocating but opposing the
principle that all the offices in the country
should be conferred on the members of a
single class. We do not demand that all
the offices in the gift of the people should
be given to farmers, but we do maintain
that they should not all be given 20 law
yers. The true principle is that all of the
great interests of the country, agricultural,
manufacturing, and commercial, should
be represented in our national and State
legislatures and executive offices in lust
proportion to the interests represented by
them. But what does the history of our
own State show, For sixty years the of
flee of Gov ernor has been filled, with the
exception of three terms, by lawyers; the
same holds true with regard to most of
the other important State offices, and rep
resentatives of the same class have like
wise supplied us with Legislators. AS
candidates now before the people we can
take our choice between lawyer Critten-
den, lawyer Hockaday, lawyer Williams
or some other member of the legal frater-
nity. Yet when we ask that the farmers,

LAMPASAS COUNTY.

Editor, Patron. Lampasas Grange, No.
52I, is in better condition than it has been
for four years, and the Grange prospect in
Lampasas county is brighter than it has
ever been. We are taking in new mem
bers at every meeting.
Our Grange cooperative store is doing
good business, the monthly sales amount
ing to $1,000 and $1,000.
With the assistance of good County
Lecturer, we will be able to reorganize
all the dormant Oranges in the county in
six months If the Subordinate Oranges
of each county in Texas will forward the
name of some good member to the Master
of the State Grange and have him APP
pointed to lecture in his own county, if he
proves faithful to his trust, there will not
be dormant Grange in Texas by Janua-
ry, 1881. The District system is too cum
bersome-it requires too much work from
one man. Good County Lecturers will
wake up every old Granger to his duty.
There is work for us all.
Corn all planted. Nature has once
more spread her green carpet. Cattle are
picking up, and we will soon have fine fat
beeves ready for market.

TEXAS COOPERATIVE ASSOCI-
ALTON, P. OF H.

LETTER FROM ]. S. ROGERS, AGENT
Editor Patron. AS matter OF infor-
nation for the Oranges and Co operative
Associations throughout the extent of
your circulation, wish to state that the
Texas Cooperative Association is now and
has been in successful operation at Gal
weston since the first of September, 1873.
When this agency was organized there
were six cooperative associations doing
business in this State, all of them taking
stock in this as the central agency through
which they draw their supplies and sell
their produce. And | am proud to say
our success has been such as to stimulate
the Oranges to such an extent that we
now have in successful operation thirty
five chartered and incorporated co-opera-
tive stores, besides large number of club
agencies that will organize as soon as fl
nances will justify. My purchases for the
month of February were over seventeen
thousand dollars in general merchandise,
and this was not more than two-thirds OF
the purchases of these houses, as some of
these agents will allow drummers to take
their business right out of their own hands
and place their weight and strength
against themselves, which they ought not
to do. If they want to make success of
their own business, it appears to me that
with an agent in New Orleans, Bro. Car
yer, one in ST Louis, Bro. Childs, and one
at this place, there is no reasonable excuse
for our local agents, as call them, to place
an order for anything outside of them.
Further, the State agents must have the
support and confidence of the Oranges
and their local agents in order to bring
such influences to bear on wholesale mer-
chants as will secure for us the best OF
terms. Quantity and character of bust
ness is all that will influence terms. We
can not claim that our money is better or
will buy more than other peoples money,
but quantity with the cash can claim and
obtain an advantage. Give the State
agents your confidence and support and
if they are the right men. and you ought
to have no other, they will protect your
interests.
would state that I am now prepared
to furnish Trade Checks, Blank Certifi-
Gates of Stock, Bylaws, blank Charters,
Draft Books, and general stationery nee
essary to starting cooperative stores, all
of which can be furnished on short notice.
l am glad to be able to say that have
been able to give general satisfaction on
all sales of cotton and produce and also
on goods bought; that the business is in
creasing rapidly, by the able assistance of
Bro. Rose, who is the father of co-opera-
ton in Texas, assisted by the praisewor-
thy efforts of Bros. Everett and Kellar.
believe the Grange would have been dead
to- day in Texas but for the stimulus re-
ceived from successful co operation. l
will say in conclusion that, to make sue
cess of cooperation, which know all are
anxious to learn, as there is SO much at
stake-and my four years experience en-
ables me to speak from actual knowledge,
and there is no combination that can pre-
vent our success,in fact we can soon have
it all our own way by co-operation,-wE

WEALTH IN ENGLAND.

The English press calls the attention
of the people to the falling off in the
sources of national wealth. 1t is startling,
indeed, to see to what small industries
their attention is called, neglect of which
has already produced serious effect. Ma
tons, no more than individuals, can persis-
tently waste. pennies with impunity. The
manufacture of Irish poplin, for example,
a peculiar and beautiful textile fabric,
which was made exclusively in Ireland,
has fallen off to such degree that only
900 hands and 900 looms are now en-
ployed in making it in the whole Island.
Mr. Gladstone, with that hard, practical
sense which he applies to everyday mat
tiers, lectured the Women of England
sharply lately for suffering the production
of"minor food supplies" to fall into des-
uetude. Women are no longer in England
the butter and cheese makers, the bee and
chicken raisers that they were a century
ago. In consequence the whole of the
coal which France imports from England
is paid for in eggs, and American and
Danish butter and cheese are rapidly gain
ing both the upper and lower levels of
the market. American butter, because
of the quantity in which it is thrown on
the English markets, has undersold the
English, but the Danish butter commands
the highest prices. Dairy work in Den
mark is fine art. No country, not even
one as big and rich as ours, can afford to
neglect the smaller industries, or to de-
moralize them with negligence and fraud
in details.
