people who should lose their
standing through lack of energy
and fidelity to their own interests
would have the virtue to ever re-
cover it again?
Every Grange in this State should
at once be put in order for vigilant
work, and each should see it their
religious duty to double their eff'ec-
tive strength during the present
winter. And the officers of the
State Grange should make use of
the ways and means at hand to
double the number of Oranges in
this State before spring opens. Let
every Patron give his voice and in
fiuence to help inaug urate the grand
movement that shall sweep the old
Pine Tree State and thrill the heart
Of every Patron in the land with
pride and pleasure. There are three
months for good solid work. Let
these three months have a history to
which we can look back with pride.
The patron of husbandry., 1882-01-14
The Struggle for Life.

The action of the Standard Oil
Company in starting a grocery
store of its own at Columbus, Miss,
and selling goods at less than cost.
to force the grocers of that city to
buy their oil of that company, or
have their business ruined, is fine
illustration of the spirit and dispo-
sitiOn that largely characterizes the
clements of business with which
farmers are compelled to deal. But
so far the traders and citizens of
the little city Of Columbus stand
up like men against the demands
and the corrupting offers of the
Standard. The Standard grocery
is filed with goods which arc offer
ed at prices considerably less than
cost, but the heroic people refuse to
buy them; and as long as they re
main true to themselves monopoly,
though it be backed with it's mil
lions, can have no power over them.
But let them once weakly yield and
the power they now hold passes
from their hands and beyond recall.
Just SO with the farmer; he must
learn TO stand mp like man against
corrupting Influences; must learn
to be true to himself He guides
the plow and wieIds the sickle; he
tolls to feed and clothe the world
hut allows others to manage for
him and rob him of his surplus.
But the time is come in which the
average farmer is ashamed to admit
that he does not read and think for
himself of the things that so nearly
concern him. Only the feeble and
shortsighted complain that they
have no time to join the army of
salvation that is being recruited
among farmers to fight the battles
of farmers. Noble men think of
opportunity and not time. By their
example they teach that action il
the main business of our lives, that
nothing is accounted to him who
accomplishes nothing.s We are to
work "while it is called to-day;'
thought is worth nothing unless it
lead to and embody itself in actual
practice, not friendly professions
alone, but results is what we need.
Let every heart be animated with
the fidelity of a constant purpose,
ready to answer the calls of duty
and self-sacrifice.
There are many good and true
Patrons who are willing to work
when they are taught how. How
shall this be accomplished? No
one who has read Grange papers
lately have failed to notice how
emphatic and how earnest the
members of the National Grange.
composed of Masters of State Gran
ges, have been IN their recommon
dations, viz: 'fWe must extend the
circulation of our Grange papers

have compound engines of 200
horse power each, and are expected
to make fourteen knots an hour.
Our line connects at Savannah with
the Central Railroad of Georgia,
and our prosperity is pretty fair
index of the prosperity of Georgia
from Atlanta to the sea"
The agent of the Charleston line
line of steamers said what was true
of the Savannah line in regard to
the increase of trade was also true
of the line which he represented.
Two stea mers week run between
here and Charleston on that line,
and are bringing, on an average, $500
bales of cotton each trip. The other
companies running steamers to the
Southern ports are doing a great
deal of business.

Papers Farmers Read Most.

There are published in the United
States I62 agricultural newspapers,
S.556 newspapers devoted to poll
tics and similar subjects: finance
and commerce, I43; trade journals,
Il: insurance and railroads, I45;
medicine and surgery, III; music
and fashion, II; law, AZ; illustrated
publications, 5I2.
1t will be seen from the above
the farmers do not sustain but
small number of papers devoted to
their calling, yet the farmers have
to contend every year with many
difficulties that arise; questions that
require experience in growing and
marketing the various farm crops,
as well as in stock raising. Know
ing how to farm well is only half
the battle. He must know how to
sell. and when and where to do SO.
| There is no. profession OF trade that
requires closer attention than farm
ing. The difficulty has been that far
mers have had to take their county
paper. a State or National paper,
L
and, perhaps, a church paper, so
there would be but little more time
to read, even if they could afford to
take SO many. Another difficulty
is that a large number of agricui-
tural papers are edited by rnen who
never had any practical experience
If the agricultural papers that are
published could be condensed, OF
all that is valuable in them cut
down to one -four tn the usual space
that is stated in fewer words, ane
the balance of the paper devoted tS
county, State and National news
and as much church news as thu
public would like to read, then on
paper would supply the wants 0
the farmer, but as long as he has t
take from three to six papers to &c
the information wanted, the agrl
cultural papers will not be genel
ally taken by the farmers, strang
as it may seem.
The patron of husbandry., 1882-01-14

better or more utilitarian than the
Grange? Since the agriculturists
have made and saved the institus
tons of every civilized country
under the sun, and since the decay
Of nations has invariably followed
the decay of their agriculture, can
the farmer who loves his race or
country afford to sit idly by, while
they are being despoiled of their
homes and free constitutions? Every
other class Of society has it's organs
ization for self-protection? Why
should not the farmer. Has he not
suffered sufficient spoiIation to teach
him the necessity and utility of
united effort? Designing men have
been intent upon breaking up the
only organization the farmers ever
had, and many farmers have unwit
tingly aided and abetted their ene-
mics in this effort. It is not IN
common to hear them slur the
Grange and make light Of the effort
OF those who are endeavoring to
maintain the organization. Like
the foolish barnyard cock that iov-
fully crowed while the sly fox de
voured his associate, they stand by
jeering, while efforts are being
made in behalf of all farmers. IA
house divided against itself cannot
stand, and il the Order Of Patrons
shall perish it will be brought abon
by the jealousy or indiscretion of
farmers themselves.
Let every farmer and Patron
consider these things. By unity of
honor and prosperity for our cal
ling. Without it we are but dupes
and slaves Of a horde of petty
thieves, political bilks, and concen-
trated wealth 'To be or not to be.

To those who were familiar with
the origin of the American Agricul-
tural Association and the antece-
dents of its Secretary, who is also
editor of its Journal, it was a myste-
ry where the funds came from to
publish and distribute many thous-
andS of copies of its second issue
containing Hon. Edward Atkinson's
article ''The Railroad and the Far
mer." Gen. Diven, President of
the New York State Farmers ALI
ance, in an article in the Husband
man, limited at the source from
which the funds were derived, but
the mystery is now cleared up by
the direct statement contained in an
answer to Mr. Atkinson's article, by
Hon. L. E. Chittenden, that it was
paid for by the railroads. 1t has
been known for some time that the
railroads maintain a literary bureau
in New York CITY, whence sophis-
teal and speciously written articles
in their favor have been sent out TO
the country press, but it is a new
thing for them to try and capture
agricultural associations. AT re-
cent meeting of the Bedford Far
mers' Club it was publicly stated
that the "American Agricultural
Association" was being run for the
benefit Of private interests. and it
now appears that Real, the Secre-
tary and editor" has acted as
salesman for Mr.. Francis d. Monl-
Moulton, Mr.. Real, and two of
their New York friends. constitute
four of the five trustees. The names
of Mr.. Real and Mr.. Moulton ap-
pear as directors, and Mr.. MoultOn
as chairman of the finance commit
tee. while Mr.. McLsren. Of 3II
Greenwich street, New York a
friend of Mr. Moulton. is put down
as treasurer. 1t would be interesting
to know how often the other gentle
men whose names appear as Direc-
tors and Vice Presidents have at
tended meetings of the Assoc'a-
tions. and whether special rates on
Mr.. Moulton's salt, as well as rail
road funds to run the journal" have
had anything to do with the strong
bias in favor of railroads which per-
vades the editorial articles in the
"Tournal of the American Agricul-
tural Association" The estimable
gentlemen whose names appear in
the list of directors and members
cannot afford to lend their names to
forward private schemes, and ifthey
continue there, it is to be hoped that
the directors will direct and not be
directed .-EX.

The New Year.

AS the years go by we see that
the world is being gradually but
surely bettered in every way.
People are more comfortable in all
that pertains to their material
wants, and they are wiser, happier.
better. They know better how to
live. 1t is at a right rapid rate
that we are jogging along, but we
manage to get good deal into life
and a good deal out of it. The
farmer who compares his pres
ent condition with that of, say
twenty years ago, can appreciate
the change. He has, in truth, lust
been walked up to life in tho last
ten years. Now has all this change
in human affairs come about SO, in
the natural course of thinse, like
The oun rising or the coming of
spring? Suppose men sat with
folded hands or torpid brains, would
the world go on in its progressive
career? We know that it is by effort,
by continued, persistent industry,
that any thing is accomplished; and
that we owe to the resolute activity
OF individual men and women all
the gain we now have. Every
where the improved intelligence of
the farmer is commented on. This
Improvement, it is we'll known, is
the result Of the Grange. Wher-
ever the Grange has had a footing
there has necessarily been an ava
kenIng of the slum bering energies
OF mind. Throw mon upon their
own resources in active communi-
cation and direct contact with each
other, and the friction produces en-
l'ghtenment. This is law of
mind, whore there is most action,
most energy, there is most friction
ana corresponding development.
LOOK at the Oranges that have a
10" live, active mem bers in each,
now this zeal is communicated, un-
I'll the leaven leaveneth the whole
mass 1t is a great cause, great
work, that Of class of men strug-
gHng TO lift themselves upon a
higher plane of living-striving to
get at the best ways and means by
winch the home and homo life may
Oe improved. They will make mis-
axes OF course, but if they fall on
t"elr feet, not yielding an inch to
u0Spa'r, overcoming the despon-
u0".' dIstrustful mood, they will
"ork out in the end. Anyhow,
'nelr zeal and faith and courage
VIII inspire others,-and that is
1oout the best work any one can
10; tor it is that that keeps the
world moving.
Inc Grange is just enough start

prompt, united action will insure
20 successful operation. Will not the
''nerS at the beginning of this
~" year, when they are preparing
'or the work of the year, join heart
"uu mind and hand in carrying out
'0 principles of the Grange? What
are those principles? Each farmer
" attend to his own business af-
,a'rS'-posting himself upon all
'nat pertains to his interest, educa-
'"g himself in all that is necessary
" i'it his work out of drudgery and
1'''Self out of harassing bondage;
operating with his brother far
1orS'-working heart and soul
n. 'u 'nem; and they balancing by
'r numerical weight the i'm
0''Se influence of the individual
pl'allst. That these principles
day oe carried out, regular atten-
aSso1n upon the Grange MEETINGS is
''o'ately essential.

La no way can We Sc etfectually
keep up the interest and devotion
of our live members. In no way
can we SO surely revive and en-
courage our dormant members. In
no way can We so easily and cheap
~ enllghten the outside farmers of
our work and its objects and get
them interested in the Importance
and necessity of taking hold with
US in the Grange. ."-Diriqo RurdL.
