Caldwell, rendered excellent music to a
large and appreciative audience. The
pastor, both morning and evening,
preached upon the subject of the "Resur-

azalias, tulips and ferns from the green
house of the Hon. j. w. Stewart. James

ular with some potato growers. Some
of the potatoes of best quality how
ever, are also freest from blight. We
believe that leaving everything else
out of consideration it will pay a po-
tato grower to grow varieties of good
quality which are equally or more
productive than those perhaps a little
freer from blight and spray them with
bordeaux mixture He would then be
in a position to offer the very best
potatoes to his customers, who would
soon appreciate those of better quality.
The question of how to market pota-
toes depends SO much on local condi-
tons that it is not considered desir-
able to go very fully into it here. The
practice of the best growers is to sort
and bag the potatoes just before they
are ready to market them. Good ma
chimes for sorting and removing the
sprouts from potatoes can now be OBJ
tanned, which lessons the labor very
much. a sorter or separator is here
represented

The Day of Small Things.

When Danny Griffin was boy he
had an eye TO business and knew how
to invest a dollar so it would increase.
Once he trapped two skunks and sold
their skins. With the money he bought
a pig. Danny was a 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
a good heifer calf When the calf
grew to be a cow he sold her to Frank
T. for $50.
That was thirty-five years ago, and
Danny was then fifteen. Now Daniel
Griffin owns a hundred acre farm be-
sides other property. and his crops and
his credit are good.

There is a growing sentiment in the
grange which demands that it bring to
its members assistance in new lines.
Many believe that the time has come
when the grange can become world

me, "What is the grange doing to help
US to meet the labor question:" While
our Order has done much to make farm
labor attractive, yet in a practical and
direct way it has accomplished but lit

that it consider this question most care

Located In Small villages, They Ac-
compIish Best Results.
| am coming to feel confident, says
a writer in the Rural New Yorker,
that the grange, when located in pure
" rural sections, away from the infu-
ence even of small towns, is perform
ing certain function generally under
taken and expected Of the church. Our
own local grange has very liberal
flow of young blood. It is the custom
or fashion, as one sees fit to call it,
both for the children to look forward to
the requisite age, fourteen, and for par
ents to have the same desire to see
them inside the gates. Here they are
held to a dignified respect and eonsid-
Grafton for the very fundamentals that
underlie good government-viz, respect
for the opinions of others, full and free
discussion for the questions that arise
and quietly to abide majority deci-
affect almost every phase of country
and often of city life, with that natu-
rally unbiased frame of mind born of
country life When one can count
twenty out Of an attendance of eighty
who are under age, which was the
case at the last meeting, it surely au-
ours for a Christian uplift in that COM
munity. In judging ethical and moral
questions, much depends upon our
point of view. Would it be better if
the church could do this same work
Yes, perhaps, but better done through
the grange than not at all. have not
so much to say when the meeting place
is located in town. My observation
leads me to say that the grange is not
living up to its full usefulness when
the hall is located in a village. Here
may be found other attractions, with
out saying they are good or bad, that
keep these young people away, saying
nothing about the older ones. / would,
if possible, when locating oranges fix
their meeting place outside the towns.
| know the busy business farmer feels
that he can attend grange and do the
town shopping on the same day. He
succeeds in doing the shopping, and
the young people keep away. The small
center where the grange is the full
power. not influenced by other bust
ness, is the place to locate oranges and
build halls.

Fanisling 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 havzif 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
it 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

FARM CONDITIONS.


Yields and Paying Prices.
While the greatest Of all our grain
crops has not yet been secured, it is
probable that this years haryests will
foot up the greatest total ever gar
nered by American farmers. Wheat
is not far from record breaking crop.
oats great crop and corn the greatest
on record if its present promise is not
lowered by untimely frosts. But when
the American farmer confronts his
Thanksgiving turkey he will have some
thing more than many bushels to be
thankful for-fair prices. We have
had big yields before that brought
little joy because they had to sell SO
low, but now the agricultural pro
Queer has the winning combination of
good yields and paying prices. Those
who are dissatisfied with present con
ditions will do well to look up quota
tons on farm products ten years ago.
Cattle Situation.
The most hopeful feature of the stu
alton is the improved market for beef.
The trust agitation has died away, and
pork and mutton are dearer than usual
and SO is poultry all Of which tends
to expand the consumption of beef.
The promise of great corn crop is
also likely to be source of benefit
to the fall cattle trade. 1t will lead

finish them and will induce others to

The Small Feeders.
The tendency of the times is against
the professional feeder, the Spectator
who buys his stock and bis feed and
hires his labor. The man who can feed
his own grain on his own land without
increasing his labor bill is driving the
speculative feeder out Of business. The
small feeder has the great advantage
of cheap roughage, his own or hired la
Dor at minimum cost and ability to get
something out of the manure. With
all these things in his favor he can feed
stock on narrow margins and prosper
where the speculative feeder will lose
money AT distilleries, mills, ETC., the
latter holds on, but he is passing out

Exbihitinp Fruits at Fairs.

One of the handsomest and most at
traetive exhibits of fruit we have ever
seen was that shown by Lucas county
at the Ohio state fair last fall The
fruits, which comprised practically the
whole list of those available at that
season, Were neatly arranged on a
large table about twenty feet square
and in such a manner that the COM
bination Of varieties and colors at once
attracted attention and prompted COM
ment on the beauty of the products.
Too frequently color on exhibition ta-
bles is overlooked. Exchange.

GRANGE LIFE INSURANCE.
A Subject That Demands Considers
ton by the National Grange.

There is now in the hands of COM
mittee OF the national grange a reso-
luton relative to grange life insurance
that many hope to see definite and IA
vorable action upon at the meeting of
the national body this fall Recent dis
closures concerning the life insurance
companies suggest that right now is a
good time to start a movement TO es-
tablsh life insurance companies by
oranges and for grangers. Can it be
done? 4 few years ago, remarks an
agricultural journal, when the propo-
sition to start grange fire insurance
companies was made, the question was
Can it be done?' Many said mo"
Many others were doubtful. A few
said Yes The regular fire insurance
company managers smiled in derision.
The few believers went ahead and
tried it. The result is success. The
grange insurance on farm property
now amounts to a great total, and the
grange insurance is the best in the
country cheap. safe, reliable and salts
factory Now. why cannot farmers in
sure one .another's lives as successfully
as they are insuring one another's
buildings and other property! The
same direct business methods that
make farm fire insurance the best and
cheapest known would operate to
make life insurance just as good and
as cheap. Why cannot the farmers in
sure life as well as property?

Uniformity of ears in a variety is the
best indication that that variety has
been carefully selected for number
of generations.
The nearer the shape of an ear ap-
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 a
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.

kernels should not be shrixeled or

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
filled 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

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.

A Commensurate custom.

The Michigan state grange viii meet
in December in Grand Rapids, Mich.
The State Fair association will offer
premiums for exhibits of agricultural
products at that meeting The state
grange will also give premiums for
corn and potatoes grown according
to certain plans previously o1tlined-
These premiums will be offered to sub
ordinate and Pomona oranges for the
best displays. and also to individuals.
This showing of farm products at the
state grange Is. a custom which should
be commended to other state oranges.
Delegates should BE Representative.
Choose only representative members
as delegates to your state grange meet
ings. Those who are always desiring
to go are usually the ones least compe-
tent. While these honors should be
distributed among the oranges of a
county, this should not prevent the
sending of really representative men
