Farmers Grange, No. 1877, in
stalled their officers for the ensuing
year last Friday evening in presence
of the members of the order and a
few invited guests. II. H. Collins
and Miss Cora Farnum furnished the
music for the occasion. The installa-
ton services, which are very pleasing
and appropriate, were handsomely
conduced by b. S. Taylor of Noun
tain Home Grange of Bondville.
Notwithstanding the going was
horrible, the attendance was quite
large and no more pleasant and en-
joyable company could have been
found. After the installation the
company sat down to tables loaded
with everything edible from the ira
ditional New England baked beans
TO the nightmare-laden pie and cake.
1t was genuine certificate of pros
perity and loud voice in praise of
the efficiency of the Granger fair
sex. The affair from beginning to
end was very pleasant, especially to
the invited guests who were treated
so handsomely.
However, the SITTER would like to
know why "ye editor" couldn't get
any beans. Perhaps Alden or some
of the company that were clustered
around the Overseer conld tell.

The defeat Of the Torrey bankruptcy
bill in the lower house of congress leaves
the nation just where it has been for q
number of years-without any bank
ruptcy law. The bill was defeated part
ly by members who do not believe any
body ought to have the benefit of bank
ruptcy law and partly by those who do
not believe in the involuntary or COM
pulsory bankruptcy for which the Tor
rey bill provided. The bill provided both
the voluntary and involuntary bank
rupt features. Eastern merchants gen.
orally favored it. There is strong oppo-
sition, however, in many quarters to a
law which will not let people do rs they
please about going into bankruptcy. 1t
is not certain, however, that even with
but the involuntary bankruptcy feature
the law could have been passed.

Those who clamor for the adjustment
of the government agricultural stations
do not know what these have done for
the American farmer. 1t was an agri-
cultural station that devised the spray
ing of fruit and potatoes with substances
that destroyed the insect pests which
would have ruined the crops. A govern
ment station professor developed the
microbe that has routed the chinchbug
out of the corn and wheat crops. Again,
it is an agricultural professor who de-
vised the Babcock milk test, saving at
least 100000 annually to progressive
dairy and creamery men. These stations
are now experimenting on the most eco
nomical way Of fattening beeves and
swine. They are trying what fruits and
vegetables are best adapted to the new
states. They are studying stables, COW
stalls, plows, fastenings for animals,
| farm architecture, road building and
tree planting, as well as irrigation in the
arid states Their conclusions are dis
| tributed in bulletins to the farmers of
the country without money and without
| price.

To see we Kentuckians drop them,
They found twas all in vain to fight,

And SO they wisely took to flight
And left us all the beauty.
