VIRGINIA Granoe

Virginia Grange.
The following was delivered by
the Lecturer of No. 81 at the Feb;
uary meeting Of that Grange:
The life of man, like that of a
Christian, is a warfare, and there
must be somewhere a place or
spot for. the conflict This place is
not the same for all. In the adj
vanced state of civialization and en-
lightment, there must, needs be a
great diversity of occupation; yet all
depend at last upon mother earth.
She, gives the food, the raw mate
rial for clothing, the fuel of various
kinds, and the means for supplying
protection from the weather, &c.
The case is the same everywhere,
even in England, that great and
dominantly manufacturing coun-
try; what she fails to supply, agri-
culJurally, other nations must fur
nish. The problem is not changed,
its factors are simply extended;
hence farming lies at the foundation
of all progressive life, and the ac-
tivity of the agricultural mind in
this country was never greater
than to-day. The breadth of dis
cussions in newspapers and peri
odicals was never one- half so great.
1t is truly wonderful and cncoura-
ring to the farmer to see and know
TO what extent rural affairs are en-
crossing the minds of the massess
Taking them as Il whole scientific,
practical and the0retic, they cover
the whole ground from merest con
sideratioa Of the needs, possibilities,
present attainments aud futul Z
prospects of the farmer in all his
capabilities, physical, mental. moral
and a ,thetic. The moneyed men
of your untryare turning their at
tention to agriculture. We hear ot
this or that moneyed man discnss>

corn, and how to raise it cheaply.

True CO.ODeratiOn.

Much has been said and written
relative to cooperation in and out
of the Grange. Many business en-
terprises of this Order have been
started under the guidance and di>
rection of farmers. Whether these
associations have been formed in
accordance with the Rochdale prin-
cple or on the joint stock plan, it
matters bat little, for the funda-
mental idea associated Herewith is
the same, which is simply: UNITY of
action for individual advacement.
The trouble with most Of the asso-
Citations of this Order, started by
the farmers, is that this principle
has not been rigidly adhered to.
Never having been educated up 10
proper conception OF the utility
of Joint action in social and busl-
ness relations, every mothers son
has been disposed to "hoe his own
row." without looking to the right
or to the left. Knowing this tact,
it has been almost the invariable
rule of the foxes, 'coons and hyenas
to enter the field at the opposite
end of the row from that at which
the silly farmer is digging, and de-
YOUR half his crop and all his profits
before he is able to get rid OF the
intruders, while each one halloos
across the fence at his neighbor.
Don't you see those vermin de-
| vouring your crop?' After which
they get up on their staked and
rided division and deplore their
hard luck, and then so home and
go to bed.
Now all that is wanted to catch
| and skin all the foxes, cOOnS and
hyenas in the land is unity of ac-
ton among the farmers. When
anv question of Importance comes
before the Grange or convention
discuss and weigh the subject in all
it's bearings, then vote upon it and
let the majority rule in the matter;
and let every minority man, instead
ofpouting because everybody didn't
think as he did, take hold of the
work as earnestly rs those of the
majority, and the mountain OF the
farmers difficulties will disappear
like molehilIs before a Grattan
gang plow.
Thore is no question of general
interest other than that of partisan
politics which may not be discussed
in the Grange On this latter sub
iect there has been no definite line
drawn beyond which it may Eot
be safe to go, but there is no ques-
ton of the expodiency and desira-
bility of discussing all measures OF
State or county concern, and the
adoption of resolutions in favor OF
or against any measure on which it
is proposed to take issue IN any
political canvass, and the pledglng
of county or State nominees on
these questions.

Ringing Words.

We would commend the careful

good Patrons, the following we'll

Bro. Rhone, Worthy Master of the

must draw it from purer fountains

cannot dictate through their papers

One of the best Oranges in Ken-
lucky is, probably, in the sou hern
part of the State. One hundred
mem bers belong to it, and not one
of them will buy so small a thing
as spool of thread or paper of
pins without first trying to got 1t
through the regular organized
Grange channels As result this
Grange is a very prosperous one,
and everything WORKS like clock
work-on time 1t meets twice a
month. one time TO transact bust
ness, the other tor social purposes,
and each time the entire day IS
consumed. These mestings have
almost done away with visiting,
but, instead, one day in each month
is spent at the hall, which they
own, in a very pleasant manner.
Tho building in which this
Grange meets is two-story one,
the Grange hall being upstairs and
furnished in the most superb style,
with all the necessary paraphrenalla
to make the hall attractive and the
ceremony beautifully interesting.
The lower room is kind of an all.

leave their wraps, warm their din

The Ship-Railway.

There is no public question of
the day of greater importance to
the farmers of the United States
than the completion of the Ship
Railway across the Isthmus of Te-
huantepec under American control,
and it should be fully discussed at
every Grange meeting that the
members at large may understand
how and TO what extent it will
affect the farming interests. We
have endeavored to give such facts
AS will enable our readers to see
and appreciate the great influence
which the Ship Railway will exert
in developing the farming and
manufacturing interests of our peo-
pie, and we feel sure that few in
telligent farmers who have read
what we have printed in our col
umns during the past few weeks
in regard to this subject were not
interested or forcibly impressed
with the benefits and advantages
which must result from the success
of that enterprise. The simple fact
that the railway monopolies have it
in their power toroband Cypress the
people is a sufficient argument that
there is a pressing need for any and
every kind of competition for the
transportation of the products of
the farm and the factory. And
any practical plan for the improve
ment of great rivers and the open
ing of new and shorter routes to
| distant markets, should have the
| intelligent consideration of the pro-
ducers, for they of all classes are
more vitally interested in cheap and
rapid transportation between the
markets of theft own and of other
countries. The benefits already re-
allied by the farmers of the Missis.
sippi Valley, by the opening of the
Mississippi river are simply incal-
culable. The success of the Ship
Railway involves to an equal extent
the interests of the farmers of all
sections, but it will be in the Cot
ton States especially that the prao-
tical benefits and advantages of that
Railway will be seen and felt. In
opening a new route to Asia and the
western countries of South Amer
ica, a complete revolution will be
made in the transportation of our
products, and in taking this route
from our Southern ports, the man
ufacturers of cotton even IN New
England will soon see the folly OF
| Transporting any part of the crop
in the raw form when it can be
more cheaply manufactured near
! the field. The revolution in trar s.
portation will scarcely begin befo e
its quickening influences VII be
seen and felt throughout the Cotton
States, and Clement Attachment
factories will spring up by hun
dreds in every State. And with
their appearance the real prosperity
of our section will commence.
