Patroas and Patriots.

The love Of home and coun-
try belongs to all races and
conditions of men, savage as
well as civilized. So long as a
people are free and keep puie
and untarnished love of home
and country, surprising all 9TH
er attachments and above all
other influences, that nation is
safe from foes within and with
out. Anything that will pro-
mote or strengthen the pure
love OF our country and its in
stitutions will, therefore, be for
the general good. One Of the
noblcst missions of our great
order is this very work. Our
platform or declaration of prin-
ciples, breathes the purest pa
triotism, and in its words and
sentiments Of freedom it has
been justly likened second only
to the Declaration of indie
pendence" of our forefathers ;
and the teachings and prac-
tice of the principles of our
grange declaration already has
done and will continue to do a
great work for our whole coun-
try. 1t is freely admitted that
our order has done more to
bring about a better feeling be-
I tween the masses of the people
north and south than all other
causes combined, and SO long
as the patriotic teachings of the
grange are lived up to it will
continue to exert this influence.
Our order teaches that "sec-
tionalism is, and of right should
be dead and buried with the
past" and any patron, north or
south that advocates solid
north, or a solid south, is nei-
Their a true patron nor a true
patriot. Love of home, and
State and section is all right
and proper, but there is a no.
bier love of country, a patriot
ism that rises above all places
and sections, that knows no
county, no state, no north, no
south, but only native land.
That claims no mountain slope;
that clings to no river bank
that worships no range of hills,
but lifts its eyes to the conti-
nent. Such is the patriotism
inculcated by our order, and
so long as it is kept bright and
above all else we are safe. A
patriotism that loves country
better than party. Yes, our
order in making US patrons is
making US patriots also, teach
ing US ali the rights and duties
of citizenship and the impor-
lance of putting them into
practice. Let US love the
Grange the more then for its
help in teaching us to love our
country and may the time soon
come when all farmers of our
country will see the true light,
accept the truth and become
patrons and patriots.-Grange

Grange lectures are of value
to the members so far as they
contain and sound reasoning in
accordance without approved
principles, and are made appli-
cable to our wants and surroun-
dings, and can be made availa-
bic to our necessities, so that
they can be utilized to our ad-
vantage in our own elevation,
and for the protection of our in
terests ard the building up OF
our organization. Fine spun
theories, attempts at eloquence,
stories, jests and,anecdotes may
do well TO amuse, and be quite
proper in a sleepy audience.
They arc not proper food to ed
ucate and elevate. A grange
lecture should be composed of
good, sound, practical sense,
dealing with facts and figures, as
they truly exist, presented as
living realities, so as to have
them understood and impressed
upon the mind. In these lee
lures the effect will not, cannot
die with the close Of meetings,
but will live to supply thoughts
for reflection that will lead to
good results.

Every Farmer should be Patron.

A farmer should be a Patron,
because it is for him, what the
Merchants Exchange and
Board of Trade are for the bust
ness men; what the national,
State and local legal assoca-
tions are for the lawyers what
the national. State and local
medical societies are for the
doctors; what the workingmen's
organizations are for the me-
chanic and the laboring man;
what the ministerial and preach
er's associations are for the
preachers what the teachers
institutes are for the teachers.
It is for the farmer what every
other profession, trade and call
ing have long since had in their
organizations for mutual benefit,
help and interest. All others
have seen the advantages COM
ing from organized and united
effort, and have pro6ted by it,
except farmers, until thirteen
years ago the grange was start
ed, and it has grown spread and
prospered because it is right,
founded on justice and truth,
because many farmers for years
had felt the need of it, realized
their isolated position and help
lessness against other well-or-
ganizaed classes and callings,
who through organization were
advancing their own interests
and leaving the farmer in the
background. So the farmer
needs the grange, because OF
the help its union of strength
will give him, even as all others
have been Helped in the same
way through united effort. 1t
applies as much to the farmer
as to all other classes in these
days. United we stand, divid-
ed we fall" Grange Bulletin.

The German Emperor's health
is causing much uneasiness. He
has naturally been in the low
est spirits since the murder of
his nephew, and has therefore
been less able to resist an attack
of influenza, which he caught

are very anxious ia get him

1t is q misfortune that the value to a
farmer of what may be classed as the
Oretical knowledge-such as is gained
by reading or hearing lectures, or the
conversation of others, OF by a process
of reasoning-is often ignored or un-
derestimated. This want of apprecia-
ton of such knowledge often arises
from a lack of any clear idea of the
relative places of practical and
''theoreticar' knowledge. As indicated
above. practical knowledge-that
gained by personal experience or OBJ
servation-will enable a farmer to meet
a difficulty in asimple manner, but the
farmer who relies wholly ON his own
experience must necessarily be q mar
row man, and q radical change in his
circumstances will leave him helpless.
A man who undertakes farming with
only theoretical knowledge will almost
certainly make many mistakes, and be
Justly liable to the charge of being
visionary" Such a man. however, will
often become 3 more successful farmer
than his purely practical neighbOr,
when practice has led him to modify
and adjust his theories to his circum-
stances. What is needed. of course, is
a due amount of each of the two kinds
of knowledge.
1t is often sneeringly said that agri-
cultural colleges cannot make success
full farmers" This is true in the same
sense that it is true that no professional
school can make" a successful minis
ter. lawyer or physician Each can do
much to help . young man in acquiring
practical knowledge, and in better ft-
ting him to apply such knowledge when

The Farm Implements.

We have in mind, just now, a farm or
which may be found thousands Of dol,
lars worth Of implements in a perfectly
useless condition. and which have been
rusted and rotted out by exposure u
a far greater degree than they have
been worn out by use. II is quite
needless to say that the owner. or the
ostensible owner of the farm, is poor.
No man a practice waste TO the ex-
tent of exposing all the implements
and machinery necessary to carry on a
large farm to the weather from one
years end to another. without losing
ground financially all the time, and II
he lives long enough he will become a
prominent candidate for the poor-house.
The cause of the neglect to take proper
car of the farm implements and ma
chinery, is not always an inherent
rccklessness in business methods, but
quite as often habit as anything else.
We leave these things unhoused one
winter, and It is easier to do it the
next; we leave a implement where we
last used it once, and it will be much
easier to leave it the next time. The
man who intends TO keep perfect con-
troll of himself will recognize the ne
cessity of preserving the utmost order
and regularity in his everyday life,
and in order to maintain and strength
en- the habit of putting things in their
places, when done with them. will put
himself greatly out of the way TO do it,
If necessary. C~arelessuess becomes
habitual and so does method.
The time wasted in spring in repair
ing machinery and tools which have
become out Of order through exposure
the winter is enormous, and yet
il isrepeated season after season Now
suppose we turn over . new leaf in this
matter, If w are among the guilty.
This is q good time to begin to reform.
II w have not houses or covering sufi-
cient to protect all our machinery, il
will mot cost much either in time or
money to erect them Leave nothing
out We farmers spend great deal Of
money for farm machinery under the
most favorable circumstances. Every
machine Is covered up with q patent,
and ID owned BY those who intend to
make the most out of Us that they pos

How They Salt a Claim.

Il wish you would explain to me all
about this salting OF claims that l hear
so much about" said 4 m~eek-cyed ten
derfoot to a grizzly old miner who was
panning about six ounces of pulverized
quartz. IL don't see what they want
to salt n claim for. and l don't under
stand how they do it."
"Woll you see, n hot season like this
they have to salt n claim lots of times
to keep it. a fresh claim is good
enough for a fresh tenderfoot, but old
timers won't look at anything but a
picked claim. "You know what
quartz is: probably'"
No"
We'll every claim has quartz. Some
more and some less. You find out how
many quartz there are. and then put in
so many pounds of salt to the quart.
Wildcat claims require nor salt, be-
cause the wildcat spOlls quicker than
anything else.
sometimes you catch a sucker, too,
and you have to put him in brine pretty
| plenty or you will lose him. That's
one reason why they salt n claim.
Then. again, you often grub stake

You can shoot it into the shaft with a
double barreled shotgun. or wet it and
apply it with a whitewash brush. II

are clear OF, and that you have sailed
your claim and that you know it is all
right"

buying q double-barreled shotgun and
ten pounds of rock salt.
