The Grange through its purchasing
agent in the year 1890 by buying IN
large quantities and of first hand.
saved over seven hundred dollars to
its members. The present year the
saving to the members by cooperation,
which their association together enables
them to do, they expect the gain to be
much greater. For the first year, which
required time to place the grange in
correspondence with dealers and man
ufacturers, the above is a very encour-
aging result and proves conclusively to
every farmer the advantages to be de-
rived from associating together fol
business purposes. This is but one Of
many benefits to farmers which the
Grange holds out to them to become
members Of the organization. The
social and educational advantages de-
rived through the Grange cannot be
estimated in dollars and cents. The
Grange is reaching out its steadily
frightening arm and bringing in reach
of its membership other pecuniary ad-
vantges and possibilities.
The moral power of the order in con
nection with other farmer organizations
is exerting marked influence for gooc
in public affairs which is strong ar
gument why farmers should unite theil
strength and work by associated effort
The lifting up Of the agricultural clasl
means the elevation of every other class
and honest business; for prosperity tt
be equitable general and permanent, /,
healthy condition of agriculture ii
necessary.
