Farmers Must BE Educated.

The mere fact of mans having
capital or owning farm does not
insure success; to this must be ad
ded probity, knowledge of his bust
ness, and diligence in prosecuting it.
These qualifications are the fruits of
a good education in the fullest sense
of that term, and are no more to be
looked for without it than good
crops without good cultivation.
Common school instruction will, Of
course, form the ground work of a
farmers education; but to this should
be added, if possible, that special
training which will prepare him
to become successful business man
in his chosen pursuit In too many
instances there seems to be a gap in
the education of farmers sons from
the age of fifteen. or Whereabouts, to
twenty one. During this period the
great majority of farmers think that
it is necessary to get all the work
out of their boys they can. These
years are spent under such hard and
unpleasant conditions that very Of
ten at their close a large number of
young men upon coming to their ma
5ority nave made up their minds to-
go to the city to seek employment in
different kind of CUISINES or to try
their fortune at the West. 1t NAV
be that during this interval of hard
work they have become proficient
in every kind of manual labor per-
formed on the farm, but of the
scien &c of farming they have acquir-
ed rea lily little knowledge.
The business of farming cannot
much longer be carried on with
either satisfaction or success by ig-
norant and unskillful men. They
must be trained as men are trained
for the different professions. We
think farmers are beginning to see
The patron of husbandry. (Columbus, Miss.) 1875-1883, 1880-07-31

Speculators, politicians, all those
classes of people, who make living
by their wits rather than by labor,
and find the ready means of doing
so out of the farmers, have been, and
are yet, engaged in telling the old,
old story that "The Grange is dead -
Their wish is the father of that
thought, Why do they wish that
the Grange should die? Because
they see that if the Grange prospers
their occupation is gone. The
Grange is a farmers school. Ii
teaches the farmer to think for him
self, and hence to act in accordance
with his own interests, without
trenching upon the interests of 9th
ers. AT the same time it teaches
him that his interests are not to be
trenched upon by others. The
Grange is farmers family, and like
the individual family, each member
feels an interest in the welfare and
well-being of every other. Hence
Changers are taught in the Grange
to cooperate, each for the good of all.
The Grange not only teaches to
build up, but also to preserve, to
prevent from being torn down.
Now, the worst enemies of the far.
mers are those who prey upon the
products of their labors, who fitch
from them the rich profits derived
from their capital and industry.
This, in effect, is tearing down, for
the reason that it prevents from
building up. But the Grange is
building up, it IS increasing and
prospecting in every State in the
Union, and this, too, with more of
health and stamina then ever before.
1t is not only teaches farmers how
to sow and reap and sell, and buy,
The patron of husbandry. (Columbus, Miss.) 1875-1883, 1880-07-31

We Ike the spirit of the mbers
of Mountain Grange, No. 1906,
Coryelle county, Texas, displayed
in their determination to take con-
troll of the common schools which
their children attend. The question
of school books has become a most
important one, and is engaging
public attention as it never did be-
fore. Heretofore the school teacher
and retail book seller have settled
this matter themselves, selecting the
books to be used, and leaving the
parents to purchase them. To in
crease the profits of the book seller
frequent changes were made. This
system has always been annoying
as well as expensive to the parents,
but acting singly they were power
less to oppose it, and were forced
to submit. The Grange was the
first organized body to strike at this
petty system of tyranny. At the
last session Of the Texas State
Grange, resolutions were offered re-
commencing that the farmers of
that State adopt the popular school
books published by d. Appleton &
Co, of New York, and suggested
to the Texas Cooperative Associa-
ton at Galveston to adopt measures
to supply these books to Co-opera-
tive Associations and individual
farmers throughout Texas on the
cooperative plan. That arrange
ment has been effected, and is work
ing satisfactorily. The resolutions
of Mountain Grange show how
readily the members of the Order
take to the new system, which in
dictates that this will soon be the &C
ton in every neighborhood through
out that great State. This move
ment means that the farmers of
Texas are determined to secure the
best school books published as
direct as possible from first
hands, and to take control of
the schools-rhat the teacher is no
longer to be dictator and the retail
book seller to reap immense profits
from the sale of school books.
We hope to see every Grange in
the South initiate the example of
Mountain Grange. Read the reso-
luton on third page.

Grange affairs in OREGON ~.
Judging from the following from a'
Willamette Farmer, in prosnero o"e
condition: The late session Of ~
State Grange was well attended L
the delegates from all parts Of n,
country, and all its PROCEEDING
were harmonious. The condit;6n
of the Order shows improvement
and more interest generally felt
number of dormant Oranges bava
revived, and there is every reason
to anticipate renewed growth and
increased influence. The benefits
of cooperation, well conducted
were satisfactorily demonstrated
and the social features are PRODUCING
constantly good effects in making
communities happier and giving
neighbors many pleasant advant,
ages not before enjoyed. The fnap.
cial position of the State Grange
has been embarrassed for years past
on account of business undertaken
in the name of the Order, but the
financial report of the present ses,
sion is evidence of an improved
condition, and measures have been
taken for entirely removing the old
debt attending the State Grange
Agency, partly accomplished by
the liberality of the members. The
Secretary, Mr.. n. w. Randall, of
Clackamas county, has been very
liberal in this connection, as he has
not only made heavy advances of
money to sustain the credit of the
Order, but donates very literally Of
his own means as an encouragement
for others to raise money to clear
off the old debt.
The condition of the Order may
be considered as good, showing in
creased membership, and will soon
be free of debt. There is a pros.
pect that steps will be taken to in
troduce the system of mutual in,
surance against fire, and perhaps
mutual life insurance in due time
