A Wise Suggestion.

To try to set the farmers organiZa-
tion at the rather formidable task of
correcting all the real or supposed
evils of our social system, says the
Country Gentleman, is about as judi
cious proceeding as If the Methodist
or Presbyterian members or the Repub-
licans or Democrats, for that matter,
should want To dragoon the whole Or
der into the ranks of their particular
churches or political parties. Let the
grange stand for agriculture and aI-
rfcultural interests. ever ready not only
