"FOunder" O. II. Kelley Relates Some
of His Early Experiences.
For over year had been studiously
considering some plan of our organiza-
ton; then / took pen and paper to put
my ideas into tangible form. l COM
menced with the plan of having all the
degree work done in grove and having
Its surroundings practically agricultur-
nj from start to finish first obtain
cd large engraving showing farm
house surrounded by grove of trees.
This was hung on the wall above my
writing table. Then, studying the pic
ture, placed In imagination the pro-
posed officers, each under vine cover
cd arbor. The members l placed in
groups under the shade Of the trees.
The glee club had in costumes suit
able for the several degrees which were
to represent the four seasons; the or
chestra to accompany the singers was
to consist Of two violins, flute and
violoncello. The space to be used for
degree work was to occupy little less
than an acre.
To pass from the master to the other
officers u nicely graveled walk was to
be laid. Impress such a picture upon
your minds If you can. only see it in
the beauty it was seen by me as l
studied 1t. You will be better able to
comprehend the work as we now do IL
in our small halls and what the work
is intended to represent. Then I drew
ground plan and placed the officers
in position, then the route of the can
didate with his or her guide, then be-
gan the work Of preparing the dia-
logue. I had commenced in May, 1867,
but it was February, 1868, before
enough of the ritual was in shape to
warrant staging it that is, rehears-
ing with living actors. Then / found
all my plans for outdoor work must he
given up. We must adapt our work to
halls or rooms indoors. Ten months
after work was begun on the ritual
took it to the printer. Don't imagine
all the work in that little book stands
position. Arson Bartlett of Ohio did
great deal OF work on the lectures. No
great alterations have been made in
the floor work or dialogues, but the lee
lures have been pruned and very much
improved as the several editions have
been published.-O. III. Kelley in Grange

The Dny of SmnlI Things.

When Danny Griffin was a boy he
had an eye to business and knew how
to invest a dollar so it would increase.
Once he trapped two skunlxs and sold
their skins. With the money he bought
a pig. Danny was good feeder, and
the pig grew large and fat. Apples
and corn and milk were converted into
pork. The hog went to the butcher. and
the proceeds went for two sheep. They
each had lamb, and the ewes, with
their increase, brought enough to buy
good heifer calf. When the calf
grew to be COW he sold her to Frank
Il. for $50.
That was thirty-five years ago, and
Danny was then fifteen. Now Daniel
Griffin owns hundred acre farm be-
sides other property, and his crops and
his credit are good.

Treatment In Mainly .Prcventive-Iso-
late Infected Birds.


Medicinal treatment for true cholera
Is OF, little value. The disease is so
rapidly fatal that it is rarely discov.
cred until too late to attempt treat
ment, writes T. L. Woods, NJ. D.. in
Reliable Poultry Journal. No attempt
to treat birds sick with the cholera
SHOULD be attempted unless they are
very valuable. For the safety of the
rest of the Goch they should be stran-
ged and cremated.
The treatment is mainly preventive.
Observe cleanliness and the usual
common sense rules Of poultry keep
ing. Quarantine all new birds brought
home from shows. Do not use eggs
for Matching unless you know they are
from healthy stock. In hot weather,
when diarrhea is prevalent in the
ueighborhood, do not feed eggs to
fowls without first thoroughly cooking
them.
AS soon as the disease is discovered
establish a pesthouse remote from the
other poultry buildings, a place that
can be easily and thoroughly disln-
fected. Isolate all suspected cases in
the pestLOuse as soon as you can find
them. Give these birds few drops
of creolin in their drinking water, just
enough TO turn it family milky, or
give them drinking water in which has
been dissolved one one-tenth of grain
tablet of corrosive sublimate to the
quart of water. A good home remedy
in any severe diarrhea and often In
mild cases of cholera is to drop twenty
to thirty drops of spirits Of camphor
on sugar and dissolve the whole in
pint of water. Place this before the
sick birds and allow no other drink.
All birds which show marked symp-
toms of the disease had better be killed
and cremated at once. This is safest
and best. Kill them by strangling or
by sharp blow with blunt club,
breaking the neck. Do not draw blood,
as the blood is infectious and you do
not want to spill it. If they bleed,
scrape up all blood and burn with the
body and disinfect the place where it
fell. Rake up and burn all litter used
in houses or runs occupied by infected
birds. Spray the runs and all parts
of the buildings with strong solution
of creolin or Il / per cent solution OF
acid In water
Some OF the quarantined birds may
recover without other medicine than
that advised for the drinking water, as
before mentioned The proportion of
creolin Is about one teaspoonful to an
ordinary wooden bucketful of drinking
water. l prefer the use of corrosive
sublimate unless large number OF
birds are to be treated. This manner
of general treatment is the cheapest and
the easiest way of handling the dis
eased birds. Individual cases may be
treated in the case Of valuable birds.
These l give one one-thousandth of a
grain tablet of corrosive sublimate
mercury bichloride) every three hours.
Food given should be easily digested
soft food and fed sparingly. All drop
pings should be disinfected and burned
or buried deeply.
If no new cases develop within
twenty days after the last known case
was quarantined and the premises dis
infected the disease can be considered
checked

Finishing Grain Harvest.

Late sown grain will be harvested
this month. The work should proceed
without delay and the grain not allow
ed to stand until overripe. The late
sown oats will make good hay IL cut
while yet green, and this Is very
satisfactory use to which to devote
them. Good crops of barley are some
times grown when for various reasons
1t Is found necessary to SOW late, and
1t makes an excellent substitute for
this purpose. This is an easy crop to
cure late in the season. Where buck
wheat is raised 1t should be in condi-
ton to harvest by the last of the month
and receive proper attention.-Amer.

SELECTING SEED CORN.

Some Hints and the Illinois Corn
Growers Score Card.
Every one who has grown corn
knows how readily it runs OUT or
degenerates. Plant breeders are agreed
that the most potent cause for this de-
generacy in corn is inbreeding. To
avoid this it Is best to select ears from
different portions of the field, and these
ears are to be selected at as great a
distance from each other as possible.
We are constantly receiving inquiries
as to the points and rules used In the
The Owosso times. (Owosso, Mich.) 1897-1926, 1905-12-01

Uniformity of ears in variety is the
best indication that that variety has
been carefully selected for a number
of generations.
The nearer the shape Of an ear APP
proaches that of a cylinder the greater
will be the percentage Of corn to cob.
This cylindrical shape will permit the
ear to carry straight parallel rows of
kernels from butt to tip.
Those varieties of corn that have re-
ceived the greatest care in their Sc
lection and improvement are uniform
in color. The white varieties have
white cob, and the yellow and red va
rieties have red cob. No corn should
be used for seed that shows the effect
of cross polarization. The effect OF
pollen is shown the first year.
BY market conditions is meant the
soundness of the ear and the conditions
of the kernels. The ears should be free
from decay or fungous disease, and the
kernels should not be shriveled or
chaffy, but show full maturity.
The tips of the ears should be cover
ed with regular, uniform kernels, so
that no part of the cob can be seen.
The butt of the ear should be well
filed out with even rows of kernels
and swelled out evenly beyond the end
of the cob around the shank.
The kernels should be uniform in
size, shape and color, and should pos
