ASHFORD.
 The grange has been organized, with Albert M. ,Shegogue master, and other of- ficers. For the first six months meetings will be held at the hall in Ashford the next six months at Warrenville.
 The subject of creamery is being agitated by the grange, and after awhile it may result in it's establishment. It is cer- tain that some change in the methods of farming here must be made to insure suc- cess. At present there seems to be no more available way than an increase of the dairying interests through the agency of a creamery or cheese factory.
 Jason Newcomb of Westford has just been allowed pension at the rate of $16 per month

The Conductors, building.

Sioux CRY, H., May 12.-T Special to THE
BEE. Friday night large meeting OF citi'
zens was held in the court house to consider
means for securing for Sioux City the build
ing which the Order Of Railway Conductors
of America will erect at some point in Iowa.
The contemplated building is to cost not less
than $685., 900 nor more than 10000, and is
to be used mainly for Office for insurance,
banking and other business interests of the
order which is very large, including the
conductors of Canadian and Mexican rail-
ways as well as those of the United States
The building association has been incorpor-
ated under the laws OF Iowa. Cedar RAPIDS
aud several other Iowa cities will be strenu-
GUS contestants with Sioux City for the loca-
tiou of the building. Cedar Rapids has al
ready. decided to donate two fine business
lots, worth $4,000, and to subscribe for fif-
tyone shares Of stock. A committee is WIS.,
itiug business men, to secure subscriptions,
to be used in bidding for the building.

PrspaIng Land for Grass.

In preparing the land for grasses 1T IS
not always wise to stir the soil very
deep by plowing, especially II the sub
soil is poor, says the Breeders Gazette.
BY keeping the fertility close to the
surface, with shallow cultivation the
young grass plants have much greater
opportunity for getting a start and
are compelled to begin life upon barren
sub-soil fresh turned up by the plOw.
Experience has taught that prairie and
wood lands can be converted into fine
pastures without stirring the virgin
soil, by scattering Ibeed upon the un-
plowed soil. Often farmers express a
desire to break un the old pasture lot,
expecting that by reseeding the grass
product will be greatly increased. We
think this idea is usually incorrect, and
urge that the old pastures be left undis-
turbed. In England there is saying
that man can be knighted in min
ute, but 1t requires hundred
years to make a lawn. Many of
our old pastures are better now, after u
generation has passed, than ever before,
and it would be great pity to disturb
them in any way, unless to fertilize by
surface manuring. An examination OF
these pastures will show the soil richest
near the surface, ard this Is just where
the fertility should be. 1t works down
rapidly enough by the rains to be util-
lied by the grass roots.
Better than to disturb the pastures by
pl0wing and reseeding is the plan OF
feeding them with manures scattered on
Ia the fall, or by feeding bran and other
foods rich in fertilizers to the cattle
which pasture on them, SO that the
droppings be utilized. Manuring land
by feeding the cattle in summer is ad-
vantageous In several ways, not least Of
which that the manure Is disposed Of
without cost, and is applied to the field
without waste. Hardened masses OF
droppings can easily be broken up and
distributed each spring by running a
drag over the pastures.

A Paving CONTROVERSY.

DIS MONIES, Ia. May 12.-lS2ecial to THE
BEE. THE people of this city are having a
lively agitation of the relative advantages of
brick and wood paving. A large amount of
paving is to be dspe this year, and the board
of public works IDS advertised for bids. 1t
is thought that tfd board favors wood block
paving, but the 6S,pmmercial exhange and
many citizens w3dt to have brick, as it will
afford employmehffor more people, ana keep
the bulk of the expenditures here at home.
Fine brick can be manufactured from the
clay that is found so abundantly in this
vicinity, and as there are brick factories
waiting for q Job, the sentiment in favor of
giving good part of the paving to the brick
men is very strong.
