THE STATE GRANGE.
], T. Altman, Press Correspondent

No, the officers and Legislative Com
mite of the Pennsylvania State Grange
are not "afraid" to speak out on the tax
question or any other questions that is
of special interest to the agricultural
class. There are now three bills pend
ing before the legislature which, if
enacted will give substantial relief to
the tax burdened farmer. Letters and
memorials are now pouring in upon the
members Of the House and Senate
urging them to work and vote for these
measures.
One bill proposes to return to the
counties the license fees and nine
tenths of the personal property tax in
stead of the three-fourths, as now,
Another will levy tax of one mill on
the capital stock of corporations for
road purposes, and the other will give
Sl50000 for the establishment and
support of township high schools.
If the farmers of the state generally
could be rallied to the support of these
measures as the members Of the grange
are rallying, they would be passed. This
done the next step towards the full
equalization Of taxes in the state would
be easier.
The one industry on which all others
rest and which is condition of their
existence Is agriculture. Enterprises
of great magnitude, far-reaching i'm
portance and employing large capital
have sprung into existence, lourished
for time and disappeared because sup
planted by something else. Not so the
farm. 1t made civilization possible and
will be its stay and support to the last.
All true patriots respect agriculture
and will give it every encouragement.
The farmer owes it to himself and TO
his calling to do all he can to secure
proper recognition. This he can do
only through organization. TO such as
realize this the doors of the grange
stand open.

Rejected Engines of War.

Certain engines of war have been re-
jected by civilized nations in times
gone by because they were too de-
structlve and too horrible. England has
still in keeping a secret war plan of the
tenth Earl of Dundonqld which the au-
thorities rejected because. while it was
infallible, it was too inhuman to use by
man against man. Even Louis XIV. OF
France had backbone enough to refuse
Dupre's terrible invention. If the story
of this discovery be true the plan was
to create by secret process a confia-
grafton whose intensity was but in
creased by water 1t would burn town
or fleet. Louis refused to have the Sc
cret published, and it went down to the
grave with Dupre.

Size of Crops.

Farmers are often in doubt whether an exceptionally large yield of any thing resulting in low prices. is as ad- vantageous 10 them as short crop at high prices. The consumer of flour or fruits or cotton goods who has to pay higher prices when there is a shortage has no doubt where fis in terest lies. The farmer, says Youths Companion. sometimes oyerlooks the effect or short supply and a high price in stimr.ating competition which may prove permanent. When cotton is reasonable ia price the Lancashire spinners are content to rely on this country for it. but if under scarcity Or speculation they are compelled to pay too much. they begin to look for other sources of supply. Every year of high pr.ees greatly stimulates this search. The higher wheat goes in Liverpool the farther settlers will be pushed into the interior of Argentina and Sas- katehewan to raise It. The farmer everywhere decides by its average re turn how many acres to lay down to any particular crop. He cannot take advantage of speculative conditions, but must plan on averages When meat was so high in the United States 8 few years ago. certain beef packers, who had buiit up a trade abroad, car. ried on business there at a loss They had spent thousands O. dollars to gain customers who. they believed, would be iost by an advance Of prices The biz crop. at a fair price, is better all around iu the long run, in spite of the temptation to desire the exceptional returns which may result from scarcity

She made her first voyage for this season a week ago. being later this year than usual, as the turtles arc rather scarce yet, Capt Wiare says. but he expects to do better from this out. He only had 2,S00 pounds this time.
 These turtles are caught in traps set in a marsh behind Long Point. Cana da, nearly opposite Erie The traps arc much like fish nets and are baited with fish. Capt. Winne has often as many as 60 traps set They have to be watched as carefully as an animal trap. The captain has been in the business now for 35 years; he is full cousin of Postmaster General Wynne. though hs spells his name differently.
 The turtles he brought over this time would not average more than nine pounds each, though a few of them weighed 20 pounds. The largest one he ever brought here weighed 60 pounds. It was kept in Erie 10 furnish soup for the patrons of one of the hotels.
 These turtles when they arrive here are turned over to a fish company which ships them Ill over the country, a good many of them going to com pany in Ohio. which then ships them east.
