Bees and tho weather.

AS fOrecasters of weather bees never
make a mistake They know what the
weather for the day will be without con-
sulting the direction of the wind or
markings of the barometer. II there is
going to be a rain they will not go to
work, no matter how fair the sun may
shine In the morning, and IL the weather
Is going to be fair, the thickest clouds in
the morning do not keep them at home.
Go to the bees in the morning, and II
they are going out and coming In as
usual it is safe to make hay or to go to
the picnic. II they are loafng about
home as If they intended to take day
off depend upon 1t they know there is
going to be rain soon.
Sometimes they will be seen rushing
home, as If in hurry, but none will be
noticed flying away to the fields. When
this happens hard storm is threaten
ing, one Of those sudden electrical storms
that form and break almost without
warning. Farmers Voice.

The Farmers National Congress and
Pan-American Agricultural Parliament
meets in annual session at Fort Worth,
Texas, December 9Th to 14th. It has a
long name and will probably have a
large number of delegates In attendance.
This Ia the eighteenth annual session Of
this association. 1t was started In 1880,
and for a number OF years had very
meagre attendance, but now from 1000
to 1900 delegates attend its annual meet
ings and they gather from all parts of
the country to discuss the needs and de-
wise ways to advance the interests OF the
farmers. The Texas people are to give
the delegates q free excursion from Fort
Worth to Austin, Galveston, Houston and
back to Fort Worth. The English agri-
cultural parliament was organized FIVE
years ago upon the same plan as the
Farmers National Congress Of this coun-
try.

Lumpy jaw.

A case Of man dying in Chicago from
lumpy Jaw has been reported. He had
been a government inspector Of cattle
and meats for eight years and 1t was
thought that he caught the ailment from
the diseased cattle. II has since been
denied that he died from that disease.
The doctors seem to disagree In regard
20 It., some claiming that 1t was only a
malignant growth and not lumpy jaw
There is no question but what lumpy
Jaw In cattle Is q disease and cattle thus
afflicted should never be slaughtered for
human food.

National Grange.

AT the national grange Of the Patrons
OF Husbandry recently held in Concord,
N. H., more than a thousand members
were advanced to the seventh degree in
the highest body Of that order The ex-
pendItures for the last year were $4,000
and the order has invested funds
amounting to more than $4,000. The
next annual meeting is to be held In
Ohio at some city to be hereafter Sc
lected. The sentiment was very strong
in favor Of keeping politics entirely out
OF the grange. A resolution was adopted
thanking the national Department Of Ag-
riculture for the efforts made to place
the books and documents Of that depart
ment in the hands Of actual farmers.

Twelve bulls, cows and heifers brought
an average Of $40O, and fifty head sold
for an average Of S2l4. These are high
prices and they indicate that the inter

Employing Help.

Upon the important subject Of employ
ing help on the farm Mr.. Frank Putnam
makes the following suggestions:
Farmers who employ help can learn
some useful methods from manufacturers
who provide their help with tenements
and are thus enabled to employ married
help, as, other things being equal, the
married man with family and home
ties is likely to be the best and most re-
liable help and is not as likely to lose his
temper and leave during the rush OF
work as the young fellow with nothing
more than gripsack to prevent him
from rowing from place to place. An
other point In favor Of married help Is,
a married man is likely to be at home
resting himself nights instead Of riding
q bicycle, or after other amusement, tir-
ing himself so as to be unfit for work the
next day.
Every employer of farm help should SO
plan his work as to give steady employ
ment the year round to the bulk Of his
help; man hired for only four months
must Of necessity be on the lookout for
another job, and cannot be expected to
take the interest in work that steady
hand by the year naturally would
When I worked in the shop, every fall
and early winter lots Of young fellows
came in from the surrounding country,
who had been farming during the sum-
mer, seeking jobs, and the best Of them,
II they secured a good job, would usually
stick to it in the spring in preference
to going back to the country for a sum"
mer's work with a certainty of being out
of a Job again at the beginning OF the
next winter. A steady job has attrac-
tions for every sensible worker in what
ever line It may be.
The Massachusetts census Of 1885 gave
as one Of the most important reasons for
the movement Of population from the
country to the cities lack OF steady
employment for wage workers.
Collectively, farmers can do much to-
wards solving this question by making
country life more attractive for farm
help, especially the young folks. If
Grange has not already been organized,
the sooner one Is started the better 1t will
be for both the employer and his help,
it Is run on Grange principles,
and the employer should encourage his
help to join and assist in the work that
they may be kept in touch with the best
thought OF advancing agriculture. Farm
ers should take more interest and more
active part In politics, not as blind party
followers, but as patriotic citizens, so
that agriculture shall reap its full share
OF benefit and not be condemned to sub
sist on the crumbs left after other profess
sions and interests have had their surfeit.

OBITUARY..

Archie Gordon Brown was born al
Council Bluffs, Iowa, Dec. 81, 1886
and passed out of this life April Z,
1898, aged 13 years and 8 months.
Archie has been a member of the
Sunday School of the Methodist
church in this city for some years,
and on Sunday, Feb. Z, he united
with the church. At the annual
meeting of the Junior League, Archie
was elected as their President, which
office he held till his death.
He was a happy hearted, manly
little fellow, and stood the dreadful
suffering with a great courage. In
the first moments of his MANNED con-
dition he thought of his grandmoth-
er, with whom he lived, saying.
Don't carry me to my grandma, it
will kill her"
A large congregation gashered on
Sunday afternoon to attend the fu-
neral services, the Junior League
being present and seated on the plat
form. The services were conducted
by the Pastor, F. P. Shaffer, assisted
by Rev. Il. H. Hendricks.
Many beautiful floral designs sur
rounded the casket, among them be-
ing THE Gates Ajar," a crescent and
star, and a bunch of white roses and
scarlet carnations, the colors of the
Epworth League, presented by the
Juniors.
The precious form was laid to rest
in the New Oregon Gem etery. ~

Easter services at Grace Episcopal
church brought out congregations
which occupied the entire seating ca.
pacitY of the church at both services
The chancel and altar were nicely
decorated with blooming plants and
foliages and the somewhat elaborate
program of music, specially prepared
for the day, was we'll rendered by a
large cheir. At the morning services
the audience contained eleven young
ladies, members OF the church at
DEBORAH, as follows: Mrs. Fred
Gibson, Mrs. DR.. Barfoot, and the
Misses Lilly Cartwright, Allie Bridge,
Nellie Baker, Clara Baker, Flora
Baker, May Holmes, Theo McClasky,
Mabel McClasky and Cora Bates.
Sunday closed the length of time tor
which the Rev. Gorrell had been en-
gagged, but he will remain one week
longer to give the members of the
church an opportunity to see what
can be done to retain him for a few
months longer. He is an able preach
er and under his ministrations, the
church has taken new heart and is
10th ito part with him if it can be
avoided.
The sad accident and melancholy
death of Archie Brown ought to be a
lesson not soon forgotten by the small
boys who throng the tracks where
cars are being switched and climbing
onto the moving cars. We understand
this was the first attempt of this lad,
scarcely thirteen years of age, to mount
a moving car, the penaIty being
injuries which resulted in death. Mr..
Joseph Kapler, who was loading seeds
for shipment in a car near by, tells us
two other boys no larger than Archie
were on the car from which he fell,
both legs being severed between the
knees and the body, death following
in about two hours thereafter. Parents
In most of these cases are largely to
blame for the presence of mere chill
dren abont moving trains, compelling
conductors and brakemen to do that
which the parents should do, keep
their children out of harms way. But
this incident will soon be forgotten as
other injuries have been. But a few
days ago a similar death occurred at
Mendoza and though for day or two
it may restrain boys from climbing on
moving trains the news of the sad
occurrences had no terrors for, and put
no restraint upon the boys at the very
next station.
