EDroRs HERALD-A copy Of your is

l note your reference to- the actions of
your local electric light company. This
is not the first instance OF similar char
acter which has come under the writer's
observation, and l believe If it were
generally understood by the citizens in
general of Los Angeles, an opposition
company would have little difficulty in
securing the necessary franchise to en-
able them to do business in your city.
Speaking for the Thompson Houston

will grant to us a franchise, and the
Mayor approve the same, with no more
onerous obligations than the present

The Grange.

G. W. Curties, of Nora, ILL.,, ex-
member State Grange Executive Com
mittee, sums up few Grange thoughts
for his fellow farmers, as follows:
"The Order of Patrons of Husbandry
seeks for farmers, by cooperative effort,
improved social, educational and econ
omic conditions. This is condensed
platform of the Grange; its aims are
more fully set forth in its Declaration
OF Purposes, of which any active mem
Der will furnish you copy. The in
convenient distance you dwell apart
helps weaken the social element in
your nature. More frequent commu-
nication will add to your happiness,
and help keep your boys and girls from
drifting to the cities. Lack of educa-
ton places the farmer at disadvan-
in dealing with his fellow men, and in
knowing how and what to require from
the legislation of the country, to which
is largely intrusted its welfare. These
and other barriers to success in your
occupation you desire removed.
Through cooperative effort you can
largely advance your interests, and the
interests of those dear to you, If you
will investigate what the Grange is do
ing. and its possibilities of helpfulness,
you must conclude you need the
Grange. Why not join, with your wife
and children of suitable age, and thus
be in q position to aid in preventing
class legislation, which is made for the

benefit of the few at the expense of the
many? Major j. M. Thompson, Master
Illinois State Grange, in his annual re-
port for 1888 says: II am gratifed to
be able to report a decided change of
feeling in favor of the Grange, also a
marked increase in the Oranges organ
lied and accessions Of membership in
the working Oranges. These latter
years of Grange educational work have
been silently, but steadily, producing
fruit in change ofsentiment in the
public mind in favor of our order. To.
day the masses OF our agricultural pro-
fession realize that the social features
and the business arm the Grange can
be made to work tremendously aud
profitably together"

The Southern Alliance.

Hon. C. w. McCuue, Of the South
ern Alliance, said at the meeting OF
the National Alliance at Des Moines.
that the Alliance in Texas was organ
ized in 1878 by small band of farmers.
1t was organized to keep from payiug
for our farms the second time. Since
1880 the Alliance has had wonderful
growth and become more compact,
adopting secret work and the co-opera-
ton feature. In 1876 was organized
the National Alliance and Cooperative
Union of America, as distinct from the
National Alliance. There are nearly
half a million members of this body.
Arrangements were made at meeting
at Meridian to unite with the Wheel.
The sentiment here is the same as in
Texas, and there is need of better
understanding. The organization must
be permanent feature. General evils
must be met by general efforts and
measures must be advocated regardless
of party. The Texas Alliance does not
compel co.operetion. Crop mortgages
prevail, and the renter is told how
much cotton and corn he shall raise.
He is serf. His crops are mortgaged
in advance to the store-keeper to whom
he must 60 for an order when he wants
a physician or blacksmith. If the
crop will stand it the storekeeper takes
ten per cent on the credit advance.
The Alliance is to correct this. The
organization embraces 100000, with a
paid up capital of S130, 900. Reapers
that cost $135 we get for $l25, and on
one and two years time. Galvanized
wire for $40 we get for 1915, and
$50 wogons for SIS, and so on. The
Alliance exchange system can prac-
tically control the commerce of the
country. 1t takes great deal of money
to handle cotton, for instance, and our
output of million and half dollars
worth was forced down in price until
only one-fftieth of the crop rename d
when the rise came. The Alliance is
correcting this, and we have $4,000
men willing to drop politics for the AL
lance. 1t was the Alliance that put
Reagan in the senate. Twelve State
have united with our work, and the
Alliance exchange now handles the cot
ton crop of those States. There are
10000 Lobor Wheels, with member
ship of 250,00o, united with us.

Experimenting.

1t is good plan to experiment on a
small scale, to try new methods of
planting, manuring and cultivating, to
test new varieties, and to ascertain
which for your farm is the best. There
are so many conditions under which
the farmer must work that plans that
are best in one locality will not be best
in another. We can go further than
that and say that what is best on the
farm one year will not be the best an
other; so that the best success can only
be attained by ascertaining the best that
is adopted for your soil, and then be-
ing guided by the season in carrying
it out. But, like much other work,
experimenting can be carried to excess.
Small experiments, conducted carefully
so that the results secured can be con-
sidered as reasonably accurate, may be
made very beneficial. But it is easy
to go to an extreme and experiment. on
such scale as to almost preclude the
possibility of profit.
The farmer who experiments on a
large scale very rarely meets with sue
cess. 1t is well enough to try on
small scale, and, if the results are satis-
factory, enlarge.

have put their dependence in politic
iaus and travelling tree peedlers.
What makes the work progress slowly
is because farmers get discouraged try
ing to help themselves. The Alliance
has doubtless saved by co operation
more than the whole cost of that body
the natural result of Alliance work is
co operation. 1t is only an incident,
however, of the great work incumbent
upon that body.

Drying Apples in Western New
York.
The following interesting state
ments are from Bradstreet's, a New
York weekly devoted to commercial
subjects, on which it is considered
high authority:
No finer fruit is produced on this
continent than is grown in the ter
ritory embraced under the name of
Western New York. The orchards
of the farming community are the
chief sources of their wealth, and the
industry is prosecuted with vigor.
Whether due to the favorable climate
and soil, or the superior or skilltul
cultivation of the orchardists, one
thing is certain, that the apples of
Western New York are sought with
avidity, and bring relatively higher
prices than those grown in any other
portion of the country.
The success and magnitude. of the
evaporation industry is due largely
to the fine quality of the fruit, easily
and cheaply procurable in abundant
quantities, and also to the enterprise
of the producers in adopting new and
improved evaporators and machinery,
in place of the crude processes in
vogue years ago, producing thereby
quality of fruit quite as good and
palatable to the sight and taste as
though it were in the fresh and un-
injured state. Thousands of tons of
apples are produced every season,
from quantity of fruit heretofore
wasted and allowed to rot on the
ground. and which now forms nice
income to the grower.
/ 1t is in the utilization of these
waste products that the desiccation of
fruit becomes valuable and indis-
pensible adjunct to every fruit grow
Grand the business may be considered
as yet in its infancy. Within radius
OF 40 miles of Rochester there are
more than 1900 evaporaters, from
the small farm, house dryer of ca,
pacity of rs bushels per day to the
large steam evaporators, drying 500
to 1000 bushels of apple each "a
hours. These evaporatOrs give en-
ployment during the autumn and
early winter months to at least 80 900
hands, who average from $5 to $l2 a
week, according to experience and
usefulness.
Constant care and scrupulous
cleanliness are the first elements Of
success in evaporating good fruit.
The production during the season of
1887, may be well considered the
largest since the inception of the
business some Is years ago. A care.
full estimate places the total quantity
at about 3O,00O,O00 pounds. worth
at first cost some $2,OOO,OOO, To
produce this quantity of apples were
required 100000 bushels of apples,
$4,000 tons Of anthracite coal, and
the constant attendance, night and
day, of an army of men, women and
children, numbering $4,000 TO 80, 900.
The water eliminated in the process
