The Grange Is Booming.

The oranges are booming on all sides.
Large classes of candidates are being
initiated Exercises are being made
attractive, Business and pleasure are
combised in the meeting. The Patrons
have the consciousness of belonging to
an order that commands the respectful
attention of the nation. They begin to
understand the immense power that
could be eXerted by a farmer organiza-
ton that, embracing the majority of
the farm population and rising above
all mere sectionalism and partisanship.
would demand of the national aud
state governments the same rights and
privileges for the soil tillers that are
given without question to other citizens.
Keep the grange growing and moving.
1t is already a power in the land. and
it may be and will be made infinitely
more powerful than it now is.-New

An innovation That Is Likely to Be-
come Permanent Institution.
The grange fair is an Institution of
comparatively recent date. We refer
TO agricultural shows, like county fairs.
which are under the management of
Patrons of Husbandry aud whose ex-
hibitors are most, if not altogether,
members Of the Order The number
of these fairs held the past fall is as
tonishing And the interest displayed
by tiiA Patrons is quite remarkable.
The fact that these fairs are run by
farmers for farmers is one secret of
their success. They are agricultural
exhibitions pure and simple; the horse
| trot is eliminated They are contest
ing the honors with many staid old
county agricultural society because
they are pleasing the farmers, and, in
turn, the farmers are patronizing them.
Here is hint to the county agricultur-
al societies that give large place to
horse racing and fakirs incidentally
this is good evidence Of what the
grange can do and is doing for the
| agricultural interests OF the town or
county. 1t is promoting those inter-
ests in most practical and commend
able way when it seeks to introduce
the spirit of wholesome rivalry in ex-
hibiting the products Of re farm and
/ the handiwork of the household
Rather more pretentious than others
are the grangers Of Armstrong county,
Pa, who are moving to have a genuine
agricultural county fair held strictly
under their auspices. There are about
$500 members of the different oranges,
and it is proposed to issue 500 shares
of stock at 500 per share, to be sold to
members only, no one to have more
than one share. A tract of 100 acres
has been optioned

NEW ENGLAND ORANGES.
Maine and Vermont Preparing For
the Annual Meetings.

The Maine state grange will meet in
Bangor on Dec. 1921 The largest
gathering II the history of the state
grange is anticipated. Election of Off
GERS will take place this year. The
number of voting delegates will be S26.
The grange has just completed
prosperous year in the way Of strength
ening the oranges which have already
been instituted. 1t is now the largest
Order of the state and one of the most
powerful During the past year many
new oranges have been Instituted. but
the hard work of State Master Gardner
and bis corps of officers has been in
Strengthening the oranges already
formed. In this work they have been
most successful. From total mem
bership of little rising $4,000 last
year, when the state grange met in
Lewiston, it has now increased to ris-
ing 10000. which is fully up to the
gain in past years.
The tbirty-foulth annual session of
the Vermont state grange viii be held
in Montpelier, commencing Tuesday,
Dec. -. at II a. N. It is expected
there win be 4 banquet IN the evening
and that the subordinate degrees will
be exeinplitied Wednesday evening.
Ida Jcnness Moulton, impersonator and
musical entertainer, of Boston, has
been engaged for the session.

a GREAT SUCCESS.

We have referred several times in
these notes to the new method of car
ing for the earth roads by smoothing
and dragging them after every rain.
This method has proved so successful
and satisfactory this summer that it Is
coming into general use all over the
west and northwest, at least where the
expensive matchmaking of the public
highways Is ut present barred because
of lack of material wherewith to do it
and the great cost attached 1t Is
making a very conservative statement
to say that where the dirt roads have
been treated by this method they have
been improved 100 per cent. They are
smooth, well crowned in the center and
carry cemented crust of puddled
earth which is we'll nigh imperyious to
the effect OF any ordinary wet weather
There are no depressons to serve as
the foundation for future mudholes,
and all who travel the highways 50
treated are loud in their praise of this
method of caring for them Then the
cost is so very trifiing that no road
money can be so usefully and econom-
ically expended as by having all dirt
roads dragged at the proper time, the
cost at the outside for the countrs
highway not exceeding the sum OF So
for the season when the frost is out
Of the ground for each mile 50 treated
The sensible thing to now do is for
the township trustees to adopt this
plan as basic method of caring for
the roads and for them, in the spring
to let contracts to have all the roads so
treated. What has been done this year
has been largely done by public spirit
ed farmers, who have cared for a piece
of road by this plan in addition to pay
ing their road taxes Next year the
work should be done at public expense.

RACK YARDS.

We were at a certain home in Il
country town not long since which
really and truly had no back yard. Most
homes both in city and country have
back yards, part of the premises de-
voted TO the accumulation of rubbish,
debris and dirt of modern living old
boards, utensils, ash piles. wood yard,
pften too fragrant with slop doors, a
fitting environment for back kitchen
door, condition which many people
shink is an inevitable adjunct of mod
ern living. AT the place referred to
there was none of these things, for
the back yard was Just as neat and at
tractive as the front yard. Rubbish
was never allowed to accumulate, ash
es we're put on to the garden as ferti-
lizer when emptied, pretty creepers and
vines covered the back fences and out
buildings, and of course there was no
dirty, Ill favored back shanty attach
ment to the home. There is a great
chance for missionary work in the line
of back yard reform and Improvement,
for the condition of mans back yard
very fairly indicates the grade of re-
fnement Of the home in which he
lives.

schools of Agriculture.

At a meeting of the st. Lawrence
county Pomona grange at Norwood, n.
T., educational matters were discussed.
The prominent thought of the meeting
was that the state should in some way
provide means to establish schools or
departments In schools in the several
counties Of the state where agriculture
might be taught and its principles
studied in a practical way. The sys-
TEN in Wisconsin was referred to as
bringing this instruction closer TO the
people than It is when given at the ag-
ricultural colleges. The matter viii
be referred by formal resolutions to
the state grange at its next meeting.

ABOUT A PIE.

We had occasion to buy a pie q
pumpkin pie-recently. We obtained it
at a caffetaire which the best cooks of
the ladies-were supposed to sup
ply, and we took the pie without ques
ton upon the strength Of the reputa-
ton of the institution. Dear me- how
we got fooled That pie was conceived
in ignorance and brought forth in in,
competence culinary aggregation of
sugar, with crust like a hard pine
Single and barbarian slop for a
filling which the hogs would shun.
This thing cost 20 cents, a good stiff
price for first class pie. 1t needed a
hammer and cold ehisel to quarter it.
And this was supposed to be the prod
uct Of up to date twentieth century
cooking, What was the woman think
ing of when she concocted this abom-
inationa Wonder who she was and
what sort of husband she cooks for.
Why has he not sued for a divorce be-
fore this, or is she killing him bs-
inches, he fooled in the belief that She
is a good cook, after all? Women are
witched today on art, music, clubs and
public affairs when one-half of them
need nothing so bad as TO learn the
simple A B G of good cooking and
home making. Young man, look up
the cooking pedigree of the girl you
are thinking of marrying. for if you
marry a girl with a pretty face and
who makes pies like the one we bought
you have struck u proposition which
will worry you as long as you live, if
she doesn't kill you off pretty young.

WHAT TO 90 wrrH THE MONEY,


The crop production Of this year is
going to result III the accumulation Of
vast amount of new wealth, especial
~ for the great west and the north
west and southwest sections of the
country It is of interest to speculate
what use will be made of this new
wealth, the larger part Of which will be
in the hands of the farmers of the
country Interest rates are already
low, and it looks as though they might
be still lower We think that one result
viii be an active and upward move
ment in farm land. the source of this
newly created wealth We do not look
to see so much readiness to put money
into wildcat schemes as there has been
and more of a tendency to buy good
acres at home rather than wild acres
on some distant frontier. Some of the
years surplus can well be devoted.
first, to the payment of debts, and,
second, to the Improvement of the
farm home and surroundings. Every
owner of a good farm should have a
modern home in which to live and have
well bred stock and good place to
keep them. The best there is is none
too good for the up to date farmer.

No new agricultural implement is be
coming more popular or doing more
good than the manure spreader The
best of results follow its use, and the
factories are working overtime to turn
them out 1t has about come to this
that the style of 4 mans farming can
be determined by the fact whether he
owns and uses a manure spreader.

The average farm should be so man
aged that the poultry income would be
at least $3.50 per amlum. No branch
of farm work is more neglected than
this, and none would pay bigger re-
turns for more attention. The average
hen is permitted as a scayenger. when
she should be cared for as money
maker.

1t is almost certain that winter wheat
could be grown quite Il bit north of
the present northern line of the winter
wheat territory if some means could
be easily adopted to retain the winter
snowfall on the wheat This could be
done by planting corn six feet apart in
rows. leaving the stalks out all winter
and sowing the wheat in the we'll cul-
tivated space between the rows. A
field so treated would retain the snow
all winter and perfectly protect the
wheat. 1t is not the freezing which
kills winter wheat, but the alternate
thawing and freezing and drying out
of the ground.

The wild barley, a most pestiferous
weed which is spreading all over the
low pasture and meadow lands of the
west. wants exactly the same condi-

way to get rid of this weed than 10
seed the land with redtop. which will
soon run the wild barley out. Try this

A western man is making quite a
success of DEMONSTRATING wild Can
ada geese. He now has over seventy
and finds that they breed readily under
domestic confinement, but are loath to
lose the wild instinct which prompts
them to migrate in the spring and fail,
and so he has to keep their wings
clipped. The Canada goose is one of
the most graceful and beautiful Of our
wild game birds, the very embodiment
of the artistic in wild life, and its do
mestieation would prove real bene-
fit to the country. Its flesh has the
genuine game favor, and its call is the
most musical of any of the goose fam
ily.

ERRORS IN LORE OF CIGARS
White Ash No Test of Quality, Nor
Dark Wrapper Of Strength

White ash upon a cigar has
been popularity supposed to indi

but, as a matter of fact, its onI
indication is of the presence
potash in the leaf, says the Nd
York Herald.
Tobacco rich in chloride of Sd

grade of the leaf, than one Will

free combustion, but the question
of fragrance is another matter.
Another cigar fallacy is that a
cigar in a black wrapper is neces.
sarily a strong cigar. The wrap

whole, and a cigar with a wrapper
almost black may be a mild
smoke, while one with a pale
wrapper filed with imperfectly,

gencer.
In speaking of the work of the
cannery, superintendent E. B.
DuttOn said;
"This cannery was installed,
here more as an experiment than
as a purely business proposition,
but every one connected with i'll
had full faith in its ultimate suoI
cess. The short time that it has
been running has demonstrated
that it is one of the safest and
best investments that could have
been made; in fact, it has exceed
ed the hopes of the most sanguine.
Since the opening of the season
we have been canning on an aver
age of 10000 fish daily, not count
ing a large number of halibut that
were packed fresh.
"The run this year, although
not as large as that of 1901, or the
run of four years before that date,
is very good. Last week we had
more salmon than we could han
die. We are confident that our
seasons pack will reach 10000
cases. We employ about 100 peo-
pie, but during the heavy run we
have almost double that number.
Most of our cannery hands are
Chinese and japanese. The Chi.
nese make the best men for the
delicate testing of the cans after
they have been sOldered and
boiled. All our overseers are
white men, and, of course, are old
fishermen.
Cur new fish-cleaning machine
is the latest addition to the plant.
This machine is one of the most
marvellous inventions l ever saw.
1t scales and cleans the fish and
also cuts off the heads and fins
and washes the body ready for the
cans. From that machine they
slide down a chute, where they are
caught by another cleverly ar.
ranged mechanism that cuts them
into pieces that just fit the cans.
Another machine puts the pieces
in the cans, and by means of an
endless chain they are passed
along to where the cans are auto
matically covered and soldered.
From the time the fish is put in the
cleaning machine it is never
touched by the hand of any man.
