Charity in the Grange.

To THE EDITOR OF THE JOURNAL. stockton
Grange has been discussing charity in a novel man
ner that is worthy of publication. 1t was stated
that as there none in the grange in need of
charity it is good time to discuss the subject as
every person is possible candidate for charity.
and every woman is liable to be widow and also
a needy one. 1t was not enough for the grange to
supply those needs, it is duty to prevent need
ever arising, il by thought nd discussion we can
find way for SO doing. There may be those left
with little children, OF without health, to whom an
opportunity to work is not enough How can we
help them without letting them feel that they are
receiving charity and without our knowing that we
are giving it: 1t was suggested that it might be
done by making it rule of our order that each
member shall give of their abundance to some other
member, and that each shall receive whatever is
offered. Persons receiving that which they could
not well use, should hand it on to others. Under
this rule one receiving a gift would never know
whether it came charity, or token of friend
ship, or only in obedience TO tine rules of the order
and the person giving could not know whether it
was received 10 supply an actual want or simply to
obey the rule To the needy it would operat. as a
blessing In disguise, while those not needy would
find 1t a valuable, con yenicnt and pleasant means
of exchange, that would doaway with much selling
buying and barter now reolired Among them il
would simply operate as change from store
house filled with few kinds to storehouse filled
with many kinds. As none would be expected to
return a present to tn, givcr but only in his own
good time hand something on to another, it would
operate in this way; viz. a gives fish in NAV;
b gives bushe of apples in september; and G
gives a chicken at Christmas. If III the general
round some one receives present In time OF need
he is only expected to forward an equivalent
to some other person, (not the giyer), when he
may choose, ana give It only when bounty has
come to him in natures regular round Of blessings
In such a case, the sy stem operates as a charity,
though in fact it is only indefinite ioan or rather
'casting bread upon tie waters
1t was alleged that It each of frequently comes
an oyer-abundance of some one useful thing much
OF which is wasted for want Of an opportunity to
give away the Surplus, there being no ready oppor.

THE GREATEST FLOUR MANUFACTURER IN
THE WORLD.
Correspondence OF the journal.
MINNEAPoLIs. Nov. Is, 1885. Although the
day has been cold and raw, have been taking
walk among the mills to CLEAN something in
teresting for the journal. Standing at the
head of St. Anthony's Falls one gets good
view of the immense flour mills which have
made the name of Minneapolis famou. the
world over At this point the waters of the
Mississippi begin total fall of about % feet
and in this immediate vicinity are running. day
and night, twenty-one -four mills which this
week turned out twenty-eight thousand barrels
of flour. All the mills together in a year, il
running all the time, can turn out eleven million
barrels of flour and in addition vat barley, rye
and feed. Some of the mills are not running.
The largest mill is that of the Hon. W. D.
Washburn, who by the way is from Maine.
This mill is $50 feet long by 100 wide and Is six
stories high over the basement. This mill can
turn out five thousand five hundred barrels per
day. Connected with this (the Washburn A
milD is the Washburn mill with capacity of
1900 barrels and near by is the Washburn B
with $500 capacity. just across the river is
the Pillshuiy A MILL seven stories high. inc
stone building nearly the size of the Washburn
A. The other Pillsbury mills are on the west
side of the river where most of the mills are.
| give the names of some of the large mills:
The Crown Roller. Occidental, Pllsbury b,
Columbia Zenith, Phoenix, Oriental and many
others. All the mills are of grey limestone or
brick and are from four to seven stories high.
/ have heard that it takes fifteen hundred men
to make the barrels for the Mills much small
er number than one would suppose. The en-
tire force employed by the mills as near as l
can learn Is about two thousand men.
