not only b incalculable benefit to
our childrea, but serve to build up
our Order and sooner accomplish

are advancing an idea out of propo-

that one will say: Our Order too
young to fell the need of this? BY
education lido not mean the smat-

tion. But the broad and compre-
hensive edutation that farmers and
their children need. Let US educate
the sons ami daughters of farmers,

true idea, that it is the noblest work
of man. Fdr it is told us, that when
God created man he put him in the
Garden of Eden to keep and dress
it. SO let us endeavor to give our
children an education that will be
of use to them while plying then

vance any new ideas for the ad-
vancement of our Order; all | can
say you know yourself, and posi-
bly, may have heard the same ideas
clothed in more fitting phrases than

the duty of every member of our
Order, when called upon to cheer
fully and to the best of his OF her
ability, contribute their share to
make our meetings pleasant and in

come before you this evening.
There are so many subjects of vital
importance to our Order that in
selecting a subject we experience
much difficulty. There is enc that
| hope to see interesting every
Granger. 1t is the education of our
children. We should make educa-
ton practical not theoretical educa-
ton one of the principal objects of
the Grange. The work of farmers
is such that their children seldom
go beyond the rueliments of our
now the remedy which
itself to my mind is this:
Each Grange should take the school
in its especial charge; cooperative.
ly securing a teacher; one worthy
and well-qualifed; comparatively
securing proper books for the child
rem, and furnishing their school
-oom with such helps as the teacher
will need in the way of globes,
maps, black boards, etc. In This

We especially request Patrons in all the
Southern States to send us bv postal card
items ofGrange news, such as the strength
of their Grange, its progress, what it is
doing in cooperation, its prospects, etc.
A few lines like this, for instance, would
suffice:

business on the Rochdale plan next fall.

Two or more columns of such items as

be generally adopted.

The aspirants for the Congress
ional nomination in this district
and they are all lawyer politicians
are actively at work among the
'dear people" Ii remains to be
seen whether the farmers of the
district have the spirit to bring out
and elect man of their own. They
will never have better oppor-
tunity to assert and demand their
rights to representation in Congress.
Will they take advantage of it, or
will they stand silently by and let
the lawyer politicians rule them
forever?

Clement Attachment mills.

Mr. T. r. Adams, of Montgomery,
Ala, who is interesting himself in
the project of starting a Clement
factory at that place, has received
the following letter from Windsor,
Y. c., from aHgentleman who has
one of the mills in operation:
DEAR SIR:-Yours of the 10Th
received. We started last June and
have been running smoothly ever
since. We are pleased with our
mill and have already enlarged it,
and are going to enlarge it to double
the size it is in the fall. We are
now running two attachments, 512
spindles. Our Mill cost $1,000 as
it now stands. We are averaging
900 pounds of first-class yarn per
day. Our mills is paying * per
cent on the investment, and we
expect to make it pay As per cent
as soon as our hands become expert.
We have not got a hand that ever
saw mill before. We have met
with no reverse, and had no nishan
to stop the mill a day since starting.
There is an unlimited demand for
our yarns. We get the highest
market price for our goods.
| think it would be the best for
you to come and see our mill in op-
Grafton.
Hoping to hear from you again, I
am, respectfully, c, T. HARDEN,

The workers in the field continue
TO send us cheering accounts of the
progress of the Grange. Among
many letters received during the
past week, we have room only for
the following:
From Bro. John A. Shaw, Inde-
pendence county, Ark: | inclose
you a club of seven subscribers, and
will forward you another soon, as
we expect to furnish a copy to each
family of our membership. Our
Grange is livening up. Old mem
bers are coming back, quite a num-
Der from dormant Oranges have af-
tiliated with us, and we have three
petitions to act upon at our next
meeting"
Bro. Dan. McInnis, of Meridian,
Miss, sends us club of ten, and
writes: "There is some revival in
the Grange in this county, and if we
can get THE PATRON in the hands
of the people and Bro. Darden to
visit us during the summer, we will
be able to give the Grange big
boom in this section.''

Reorganization,

The Grangers all over the State
are seeing the great necessity of the
Order, and those which have been
sleeping for some time are waking
up and going to work. This is
right. If there be any need of or
ganization on the part of any class
of men that class is the farmers of
our State and country. They are
beginning to exercise an influence
in the councils of the country which
has long been needed, and that in
huence and power is now being felt
by those who should represent the
wishes of their constituents. There
is no party politics in the Grange,
and can never be, but that the great
Order will exert, and ought to ex
ert. a powerful influence on non
partizan measures there can be no
doubt. Organize and reorganize,
then, fellow farmers, for the good
of agr culture, the good of your
families, and the good of your coun-
try Virginia Farmer.

FROM TEXAS.
Milan County.

Editor Patyon.. I fear you think
| have forgotten the greatest far
mer's trieEd Ill the South-THE
PATReN oF HUsBANDRY-and for
that reason | stop my work long
enough to write you this short COM
munication.
We had one of the most interest.
ing meetings last Saturday at Milan
Grange in a long time. / think Bro.
Kellar's able address there on the
Sth of May hot only put our men,
befs to thinking, but had the good
effect to start some of them to talk
ing, thing that has long been de-
sired. Among the subjects discussed
at length were cooperation, a plan
to start at least one Clement Attach
ment factory, and proposition to
have a Grange camp meeting. 1t
was resolved that the Secretary be
instructed to correspond with the
other five live Oranges in Milan
county and ascertain their feelings
in regard to holding Grange camp
meeting near the center Of the coun-
ty on Little River. We want to let
every live Granger, every dead
Granger, every ex-Granger that is
not dead Granger, and every far
mer who is liberal enough to swap
ideas, to attend that can possibly do
so, that we may discuss our interests
in public and business affairs, learn
what those interests are, and then
work in harmony to accomplish the
desired end. Then we may learn
many things appertaining to our in
terests which we might never learn
isolated as we are from one another.
We are in the midst of Grange
boom in Milan county, and now is
the time to work, or rather to work
harder, for some of us have been
working all the time. You will hear
good accounts from the Order in
Milan county this summer and fall.

Edftoy Patron: Concord Grange
is still looking up, not because it is
on its back and can not look any
other way, but it is up and doing.
We have membership of I45; and
still they come. l think the ques-
ton as to "What has the Grange
done?" is answered in the fact that
the farmer has been induced to
meet and inquire what is to be done.
We have got to work out our own
redemption, and r1ust be up and
stirring. Now is the accepted time,
for in November we may find out
to our cost it is too late. The
crowned heads of Europe and the
would-be Gears or Casers of this
country acknowledge the rights of
labor and know that change must
come, and they prefer that it come
intellectually, hence their anxiety to
educate the millions, and the Grange
proposes to do just the same thing.
The change must come, not by Ni>
hilistic weapons, but by the still,
small voice of the ballot. We must
have farmers to represent our in.
terests, men that can defy the lobby
influence. But when you see the
immense Money Power arrayed
against us, both Democrats and Re-
Publicans being bankers, railroad
men, and bondholders, and monpo-
lists Of one sort and another, to
whom then must we look to
bring US through? We do not pro-
pose to raise another party, but we
must center on some one outside
the "rings" and this can only be
done by organization and co-opera-
ton; in all things, unity.

Mr.. Thomas Silly, a Lumpkin
County farmer, gives his experience
as follows: 81 have been raising
cotton here under the Blue Ridge
Mountains for ten years; | put the
first bale of cotton in market that
was ever raised in Lumpkin County;
| buy no guano; [ save everything
that makes manure; | work one
mule; one old man does all of nv
work; raise from five to six hun
dren pounds of seed cotton to the
acre; | keep all of my manure un-
der the shelter; | have saved ten
tons since | planted cotton last wear;
[ manure all the land that l cult
vate; in January | compost my ma
nure with cotton seed, ashes and
bone-dust, and put in large boxes
made with rough edge plank that
will hold two or three tons; | put
no water on it; by April it has gone
through heat and is as airy and as
fine as ashes. So you see that |
manure thirty acres of land and it
only costs me 500 on my little farm
in one year" Mr.. Silly is now in
his seventy sixth year.

The generous compliment which
our esteemed contemporary, the Di
rteo Rural, Bangor, Maine, the lead
ing Grange journal of New Eng
land, pays THE PATRON, is very
gratifying to us. We think the lead
ing Patrons in the Southwest are
becoming fully impressed with the
Importance of giving THE PATRON
more extensive circulation. Within
ten days we will have one of the best
appointed Establishments in the
South, and it will remain with the
members of the Order whether their
representative journal shall be one
OF the leading papers of the day or

Gen. Stephen D. Lee, of this city,
recently elected President of the A.

iting a number of similar institutions
in other States. We take the fol-
lowing notice of his visit to the Mi
chigan College from the Michigan
Grange Visitor:
We referred to General S. D.
Lee, of Mississippi, who, with his
wife, have been guests of President
Abbott, for several days.
His mission North is to become
acquainted with the Agricultural
Colleges of the country After
having visited nearly all, and be-
come somewhat familiar with their
course of study and working ma
chinery, he pronounces in favor of
the Agricultural College of Mich
igan, as presenting the best devel-
oped system, and most thorough
work of any, and from what we
saw Of the gentleman, and heard of
his examination of each department
of the College, we were satisfied
that his judgment was based on a
very careful enquiry.
He has not been satisfied with
walk over the ground, and a pleas
ant talk with the several professors,
but he spent hours in questioning,
and in critical enquiry in each de-
partment of the institution.
And he has confirmed his ex-
pressed opinion as to the superiority
of the Michigan Agricultural Col
lege by employing two of its grad
uates to teach in the the Agricul-
tural College of Mississippi.

Some Patrons are not willing to
paw one dollar a year for weekly
Grange paper. This is simply the
result of ignorance or penurlous-
ness. The merchant, the banker,
the manufacturer, and other city
classes understand the value of the
press, and pay with great liberality
those engaged in their interests. For
instance, the cotton manufacturers
and planters have a paper Cotton
published IN New York City, de-
voted exclusively to their interests.
1t gives its attention entirely to mat
ters pertaining to the cotton trade
and ignores general news and all
matters that are foreign to its char
acter as a class journal. 1t is ably
conducted, and though smaller IN
size than THE PATRON, its subscrip-
ton price is three dollars year,
which its patrons pay eheerfuliy'
The shrewd manufactured undef-
stands what he wants in subscrib-
ing for a paper, and he not only
pays for it promptly and willingly,
but gives it his active influence to
promote its efficiency and success
but many poor farmers in their lg-
norance are not able to get out oi
the old ruts-they stick to politicaI
papers that are positive injury tc
them, and cannot be induced to sub.
scribe fot papers that are acknowl
edged to be their best friends.
