Grange Speeches worth Money.

Overseer George A. Fuller Of the
New York state grange is opposed to
furnishing county fairs with grange
speakers at state grange expense, and
the Press believes he is right. Fair
managers pay for bands, balloon as
tensions and fast '.hosses," and if they
regard a grange orator drawing
card they should put up for it in their
expense account, People go to fairs
to see the sights and the crowd and
not to hear speeches. One county fair
had the governor of the state on ex-
hibition for several years in succession.
People came to see him and the 81 900
cow and the big pumpkins What he
said no one remembers now, and little
attention was given to it at the time.
Unless be gave his speech to the papers
it might as well have gone up in the

COOPERATION PROPOSED.
A Grange Principle That Is Not over

A orange Principle That Is MOI Over
worked.
Members Of the grange may take a
lesson from the action Of farmers on
Long Island in attempting to cooper
ate for their mutual welfare. In the
vicinity Of Rtverhead. N. T.. there are
probably 10000 acres devoted to po-
tato culture. and the farmers there be-
lieve that they can purchase various
supplies tn bulk and profit by the econ
0my as well as obtain cheaper freight
rates by shipping in carload lots. There
Is very prosperous caulifiower asso-
citation on the island which has saved
considerable money to its members.
The cost of caulifiower seed has been
reduced from S32 to $40 a pound In
four years. Before the association was
formed farmers paid as high as So an
ounce In some cases. Practically any
intelligent farmer with few acres In
cauliflower is now assured Of net
profit Of from $1,000 to $1,000 Not at
all unusual Is the case of August Le-
win, farmer of Batting Hollow, who
last year realized $500 an acre from
twelve acres set out in caulifower.
This is in direct line with the prIn-
ciples and purposes Of the grange, and
yet cooperation as practical thing
is not known to many oranges. Isn't
it about time ito get together? ?"

HOUSEHOLD ECONOMIES.
How HouseIeepers Can Profit by the
Following SuERestions.

How HousekeeperR Can Profit by the
Following Suggestions.
Every kitchen sink and every bath
room should be provided with a soap
dish. Soap reduced to a jelly by leav-
ing it in water is a frightful example
Of wastefulness. No soap dish, by the
way, is worthy the name unless it is
properly drained by perforations at the
bottom or by other means, says the
New York Journal
Strange as it may appear, coal cell
lar needs ventilation as much as a
soap dish needs drain. Coal kept
In a place almost air tight loses much
OF it's gas and is consequently waste
full to burn.
A point not to be forgotten is that
potato Feelings, well dried. are as USE
full as orange peel treated the same
way for lighting fire and making 1t
burn up quickly. Both save firewood.
Milk should never be left uncovered
since the tiniest germ will faint it,
while in making pastry marble slab
is preferable to a board for rolling out
the paste. Nowadays, too, china roll
ing pins may be purchased, which for
this purpose are better than the wood
en- ones, and there are glass ones hol-
lowed out for the introduction of ices.
Boots and shoes will last much longer
if when bought the new leather on the
soles is stood for few days in linseed
oil. before using. The oil should first
be boiled, and when the boots are
taken out they should be allowed to
dry for few days. This treatment
also prevents the Objectionable creak-
ing.
Where there are boys it is wise to
have the heels and knees of new stock
ings carefully darned before taking
them into use This presents a tougher
substance for the wear and tear of
those parts.
The first thing to do also with gloves
and ready made garments of any de-
scription is to sew the buttons on more
securely. Buttons are rarely well sew
ed on anything that is ready made
To mend hole in an umbrella stick

1t is wise to purchase towels rather
large. Laundries charge no more for
washing large articles than small ones,
and large towels do not wear out so
rapidly.

JUVENILE ORANGES
THEIR ADVANTAGE TO THE SUB
ORDINATE GRANGE.

Am Example Of Practical Co-opern-
tfon-Grange. Speakers at state
Fairs and How Fairs and Oranges
May Cooperate.
Juvenile oranges are increasing In
numbers slowly, but surely. When
their great helpfulness to the work of
the subordinate grange, particularly In
preparing for 1t an interested, intelli-
gent and enthusiastic membership, is
understood they will meet with greater
approval and will increase more rapid
~. The difficulty in organizing ju-
venile grange is not that there are too
few children who would be interested
in II, but to secure for the organization
a matron who will assiduously devote
herself to the young people and direct
them in their efforts. The juvenile
grange has its own ritual and staff Of
officers, but it Is required that ma
tron be chosen to superintend and di-
rect the young folks and assist wher-
ever assistance may be needed. The
pride they take in performing their de-
gree work and in the transaction Of all
the work of their grange is not exceed
ed by any one in the subordinate
grange.
One of the most enthusiastic believ-
ers in juvenile grange work is Mrs. c.
e. Harris of Greenville, o., who says
in an article in Farm and Fireside that
the work has been satisfactory and so
full of good results that we feel that
we would not keep our vow to work
for the good Of the order did we not
urge others to organize juvenile
oranges. The possibilities of useful
ness are more than we ever dreamed.
From the very first every meeting has
been q success. In fact, we often hear
fourth degree members say, We'll,
should not have come tonight, am SO
tired, but the children were bound to
come" 1t is a drawing card for the
make, though 1t is a good one. The
great reason is that between the ages
of five and fourteen are the most imr
questionable years. During these years
the plastic mind of the child receives
and retains impressions for good or
bad which last throughout life If the
young mind is not surrounded by right
influences a great opportunity is lost
to develop virtues that are of lasting
value. Time enough after fourteen,
you say? Then why is 1t that when
skilled workmen are needed In the
delicate arts and crafts they are
brought from the old country? There
the very young children are taught the
arts and crafts, and years perfect the
touch of workmanship, that can never
be attained by those who begin later
in life

Clothes which have been wet in the
rain should be carefully dried before
being hung away, says the New York
Journal or they will mildew. They
should be lightly wiped with dry
cloth or shaken and then spread out
to dry. Should there be creases when
dry they should be pressed under mus
lin. Another thing to remember in
rainy weather is that nothing takes
the freshness and beauty out of gar
ments like rain. 1t is advisable to
have older garments for rainy days.
Even the dampness of the atmosphere
will render clothes limp and shabby,
though the rain may not fall directly
upon them.

sheep manure was available. A change.

One waste which we note through the

are turned over to the stock at a time
when other feed is abundant. We do

The range men have their troubles In
the matter Of transportation OF their
stock to market. We met one Of them
recently who undertook to ship over
500 range horses to an eastern market.
Because Of carelessness or inability to
water these horses at proper intervals
during hot August season they were
kept locked in the cars for a period of
lot hours, and when released and wa
ter given them $50 of them died In less
than an hour. OF course the owner has
a valid claim for damage against the

the unloading and watering Of stock

A friend wishes to know what is the
best use to make of bottom land which
IS subject to overflow In wet seasons
to such an extent that the crops Of
corn and other cereals are ruined. II
the problem is one which drainage will
not cure, the best use to make of the
land is to keep 1t in grass make a per-
manent pasture Of it. An acre Of blue
grass on such land will. one year with
another, pay a larger profit as meat
maker than the average dry acres of
the farm of which 1t is part. For
meat making or for dairy purposes
such an acre of land will net the owner,
one year with another, not less than
IS. 1t is a poor policy to try to eul-
tivate such land for the sake OF d good
crop In only the extra dry seasons, for
it simply means wilderness Of weeds
and no grass during the wet ones.

If the hardy catalpa will grow well
in your locality you can make some

tree will make single post. We doubt
the wisdom of planting this tree north

1t is worth noting that lately loco

very successfully operated by the use
Of peat briquettes prepared at less

states of Wisconsin, Minnesota and the
north half of Iowa abound in peat de-
posits varying in depth from two to
twenty feet, an unlimited and available
fuel supply Of great calorific value
just as soon SIS methods are evolved
for its practical use Its use will in
