Grange Education.

AS an educational force, the
Grange has been an abundant sue
cess. This feature stands well to the
front among the great benefits to be
derived from our organization. The
Grange is a greet school doing an
immens good to a class of people
who have it not in their power to
turn back to boyhood's days, and
do over the things that have from
neglect or necessity been left un-
done, but must now be obtained
from other sources.
The Grange and its teachings
have awakened many dormant fac
ulties that have previously existed,
and for the want of an opportunity
to bring them out were entirely use
less. This has now been changed,
we are now demanding a higher
standard in agricultural journalism.
That thorough, practical kind, ad-
apted to the wants of the people,
the fancy, theoretical kid-gloved ar
ticle is, and should soon be laid
aside. The Grange press through
out the country, by their devotion
ton to the cause has been the means
Of awakening this desire to a great
extent and for better acquaintance
with their duty as citizens. Urge
upon each individual Patron the ne
cessity of supporting with liberal
patronage the papers that are boldly
standing to the front, advocating
our PRINCIPLES and fighting our bat
ties, these efforts should be sustain
ed; more Grange papers should be
read by Patrons. The Grange has
taught us forcibly, that the higher
attainments are reached only by
greater knowledge and skill.

make, who have no money to invest
in improving their farms, in build
ing good barns or comfortable
dwellings, or better system of agri-
culture and better breeds of stock;
these are truly poor. They skin the
land and have nothing left. They
impoverish the country by seading
their products away in payment for
the necessaries of life and by having
no surplus, retaining no savings; and
they pass away leaving no monu-
ment of permanent improvement,
and no signs of visible wealth Like
the shiftless and unthrifty servant
in the parable, they have not sought
to increase their capital and improve
their opportunity. They have sim
ply taken from the earth the talent
thev buried in it, fortunate even if
they have done so much.-New Or
leans Times.

The Clement Attachment.

The question Of e establishing "new
process" cotton factories should
have the serious attention of every
Subordinate Grange throughout the
Cotton States. The capacity of the
Clement Attachment to do all that
is claimed for it has been fully estab
lished, and the net profits realized
on the capital stock by the factories
in operation are from IS to 40 per
cent. The general adoption OF "neW
process" factories in the Cotton
States is but question Of time.
They are making rapid progress,
as will be seen from the following
notes:
Mr.. B. NJ. Childress writes, "We
have organized company and COM
menced the buildings for new
process cotton mill near Terrell,
Texas"
The company at Luling, Texas,
have ordered their machinery for a
''new process" factory.
The "new process" factory re-
Gently established at Cuero, Texas,
is in successful operation.
Mr.. B. B. Smith is putting up the
machinery of "new process" tac-
tory for S. 6. Rosamond q 20. at
Town Bluff, Tyler county.
The Cuero company intend put
ting up factory of eight Attach
ments at Austin.
The new process" factory recent
iv put up at Tuscumbia, Ala, is
turning out first-class yarns and
Giving complete satisfaction, and
those at Senoia, Ga, and Orange
burg, S, c., are running night and
day.
Tbos. G. Elam, of Suffolk, Va,
has his factory in operation, and SO
has Mr.. o. Barber of Richbufg, >.
c. The factory at Williston, ). G.,
is running and giving complete sat
isfaction.
The "new process" factory at
Corinth, Miss, will be put IN ope-
ration next fall.

Cooperation is spreading all over
the country. Hundreds of Oranges
have stores, and where they are
conducted on the Rochdale plan
they succeed and give complete
satisfaction. A few stores on the
joint-stock plan, where they are
well managed as in Clarke county,
Ala. and at Giddings, Texas, are
succeeding splendidly, but these are
exceptions to the rule.
We receive letters by every
mail giving cheering accounts of
the success of cooperation and the
good effect it is having upon the
Grange. From a letter from Wor-
thy Secretary G. w. Morrell, of
Oak Grove Grange, Sullivan county,
East Tennessee, we quote the fol-
lowing, which is similar to the re-
ports that come from all quarters:
'We have been running coop
er~IIve store for twelve months.
We commenced Oh very small
capital, only about $40, and ii is
now between $500 and $1,000. The
store is a success and still thriving.
Hurrah for cooperation"

For Farmers BOys.

Let the boys be encouraged to stick to
the farm, unless they are stupids. The
most active and energetic boys and Young
men are needed as tillers Of the soil If
a farmer is so unfortunate as to have a
crazyhead urchin. of one idea, the chap
may do for minister; but do not attempt
to make farmer out of him. In case a
boy can not be induced to love manual la
Dor, let him tudy law. Lawyers can be
nodded out of almost any inferior material
If he likes to read twaddle and nonsense
more than science, furnish him with
quack's pill-bag, and tell him the wide
world is before him All the powers of
the universe can not make a respectable
farmer out of him.
For farmers, the country wants the most
energetic, thoroughgoing and wide awake
boys and young men that can be found
Hence, if boy is blessed with that crown
ing concomitant which moves the world
--brains-let him becomea farmer. Brains
constitutes the great desideratum in agri-
cultural science at the present day. Fifty
years ago muscle was the requisite. Fifty
years ago a farmer was expected to per-
form every manual labor of the farm by
the exercise of muscular force, while at the
present day he needs brains more than
muscle to enable him to manage labor saw
ing tools with skill and efficiency. When
the labors of the farm were nearly all per-
formed by the laborious and fatiguing ap-
plication of human force farming was irk-
some drudgery. But now, when teams
and steam power respond to the bidding
of the tiller of the soil, agriculture is the
most agreeable livelihood that one can de-
sire True, at some seasons of the year
farmers are required to labor early and
late for several days. Then, again, per-
haps for week they will have easy times.
We do know, from long experience that
there is no class of citizens has as easy
time as the farmer, provided he is judi
cious manager.
Now boys, you are to be men after a
few more years have passed away. Make
up your minds deliberately to be farmers.
Procure some of the best agricultural books
and subscribe for some of the leading ag-
ricultural journals, and improve all your
leisure hours in acquiring useful informa-
ton. Let your fixed determination be to
rise in the scale of being to the dignity of
. an intelligent and thoroughgoing tiller of
the soil.

The Farm err.

The fact is, the more a thoughtful m an
sees and experiences of farming, the more
he is impressed with deep sense OF the
variety and extent of the qualifications
required for it. Thefe never was, perhaps,
more delusive statement than that 'any-
body can be farmer" Anybody with a
decently balanced mind can learn trade,
because long practice in one line of routine
labor will develop more or less skill; but
in farming, SO much good judgment, tact
and forethought are required; SO much

Little by little the world is finding

Little by little the world is finding
out that the Grange was created for
noble purposes, and slowly the peo-
ple outside the Order are acknowl-
edging the value of the Grange. Let
these tributes (oft times hard
wrung) stimulate us the more to be
constant in the work of doing good
to all mankind as well as benefitting
ourselves. The Grange is an as
sured success. Let US help it spread
the light so that all mankind may
receive its effulgent rays and be
warmed into a better manhood and
womanhood.

The Worthy Secretary of the Ala
bama State Grange gives most in
teresting and cheering description
of his visit to Marengo county in
that State. It will be seen that he
organized Grange in a section
that had never before had Grange,
and thinks the farmers there will
give the cause a strong support.
The Secretaries of the State Oranges
can render the cause invaluable SER
vice, and there is none in the Union
more capable and willing than the
Jealous Secretary of the Alabama
State Grange.
