SIXTEEN BUSHELS PER ACRE.


 There were thrashed this ear from a 100 acre field of oats located on a farm but few miles from the writers s home 1900 bushels of grain of inferior quality, or an average of just sixteen bushels per acre. This fact Is not men, toned with a view to causing surprise because of the size of the yield. but simply as the basis of a co.E.Ient or two on the baleful effect of the sys- tenn of yearly rental of farm property. This farm Is in n fertile section of the county, capable with decent treatment of producing seventy-nve bushels of corn, fifty bushels of oats and three tons of clover hay per acre. The pitt able showing mentioned above Is the ment on the part of the landlord, cou- pied with q system of tenancy which has consisted in selling the fertility from the farm in the shape of grain and hay, with the result that today the farm Is an agricultural bankrupt, fertility lost, credit gone and reputa- ton badly damaged. As might be ex- peSleu uiiueI SuIu SSsbchl OL Iiui- agement, Quack grass has gained such a foothold that neighbors estimate that if 1t were all in one patch 1t would cover from forty to sixty acres of the total area. AS consequence no self respecting a 1d prudent tenant will rent the farm on any terms; hence the oth- CT kind get 1t, and quite naturally the deplorable conditions mentioned tend to grow cumulatively worse. Such handling of fertile, responsive soil Is no less than an agricultural crime, whose punishment Is just as sure as that following transgression In the palm of human affairs. Reformation can only be accomplished at the ex- pense of much money and the exer- else of long continued care and effort. If regeneration of such farm Is ef- fected 1t will come through a radical change in methods-stock raising in- stead Of grain selling, five year in- stead of a one year system of rental and the raising of clover and applica- ton of other fertilizers instead of the gradual soil robbery which has gone on for twenty years past. It Is matter of congratulation that such farms as the one described are comparatively few, but deplorable that the methods which prevail In the management of so many farms point to the same direc- tion

About Grange Speeches.

Of all the errors that grange speak CT can commit we believe that to make a too lengthy address Is about the greatest. The speaker must be in- tensely interesting and have very important message If he attempts to hold the attention of an audience at one of the field day meetings or any other for an hour. Better far to speak thirty minutes and have the undivided attention of the audience than to talk an hour and have the audience rejoice when you close. It will be well for most speakers to remember what the old Scotchman had to say about the preacher. Coming out of church before the service was ended, his friend ac- costed him and asked, "Is the preacher through?" The old Scot replied, He was through a half hour ago, but he hasn't stopped yet"

INCORPORATING ORANGES.

Advantage Obtained by Incorporn-
 tton Over Assoctation.
 The question often arises among members of the grange, What advan- tage Is there i'll incorporating grange under the laws of the state? A grange that is duly organized under tNe au- thority of q charter from the national grange Is an unincorporated associa- ton or society of individuals. The as- soci0tion of Its members Is governed by their constitution or bylaws formu- lated In accordance with the constitu- ton and bylaws of the state or na- tional grange Nevertheless such an association has well defined legal status under the laws of the state. To change this association into an in- corporated body gives 1t the same status virtually as person and having all of the powers and privileges of a single person In so far as these powers and privileges do not go beyond the scope of the charter of incorporation. What powers and privileges, then, are gained by incorporation? The broad principle may be laid down that the chief adyontage which a corporation has from Incorporation lies in the fact that the members of the corporation are relieved from personal liability for the debts of the corporation.
 In Pennsylvania and In some other states corporations are known as cor porations for profit and those not for profit The grange Is a corporation not for profit, and as such its members are not personally liable for any debts of the corporation. A creditor seeking to recover a claim would be confined to the property of the corporation and could not proceed to sell the property of individual members. as he could if 1t were a partnership. In an unlncorpo- rated grange the property of the asso- citation Is the property of all the mem bers, and upon dissolution of the asso- ciation the property must be divided among the members in just proportion.
 In a word. then, 1t may be stated that the subordinate or Pomona grange gains no powers by incorporation, but the members thereof gain the advan- tage of exemption from personal lia- bility for the debts of the association, and 1t Is deemed advisable for any grange that intends entering upon commercial transactions or into any mercantile business to become incor- porated

THE POMONA GRANGE.
Duties of the County Lecturer Defin-
 ed-Pomonn Grange Programme.

Duties of the County Lecturer Defin- ed-Pomonn Grange Programme.
 Mrs. F. D. Saunders, the efficient lecturer of the Michigan state grange. points out some of the requirements for a successful Pomona grange meet ing in the following extracts, which we take from an article in an agri- cultural paper:
 Strictly speaking the Pomona grange Is a fifth degree body, though much of It's work is done In the fourth de- gree. In fact, the business of any grange Is transacted In the fourth de- gree. Pomona grange officers preside and wear the regalia of the fifth de- gree. When working the fifth degree the assistants shall in taking up the work require, first, the Pomona an nual; second. the fifth degree work; third, the fourth degree annual; last. ly, the fourth degree work.
 Tt is the duty of the Pomona lec- turer to prepare the programme and announce the same to all granges in the county at least ten days before the meeting. In most counties this Is done through a little printed slip or folder programme, a copy of which Is mailed to each subordinate lecturer, who upon receipt of same will prompt ly present 1t to his or her grange. A copy should also be sent each member whose name appears on the pro- gramme. In addition, the Pomona lecturer should arrange for publication of the programme In all the local papers In the county. We may say that the first requirement toward a successful Pomona grange is for the lecturer to prepare a good programme and then advertise 1t we'll. AS the ju- risdiction of the Pomona grange Is the entire county, let the meetings be widely known throughout the county"

FARM READING.

With the long evenings of winter soon coming on, 1t Is time to begin making plans for the winters supply of reading matter, including books, magazines and papers. With the great variety of periodicals that can be got at low prices in connection with the many clubbing offers that are made by ones home and outside papers there Is really no excuse why any town or farm home should be destitute of interesting and up to date reading matter. The bald facts are that a good many chill dren do not like to stay at home even- ings because there Is little there to attract or interest them, and there Is no way in which this difficulty can be indicated above. In addition to the home paper and good agricultural paper or papers, there should be a wholesome family weekly, which should contain something of interest for every member of the family. And there magazines, of which the variety Is large and the quality excellent. If this plan Is carried out and a game board Is provided, we see no good reason why the members of the family circle should not spend many a happy even- ing when the weather Is cold and for bidding without. If the home has not been all that 1t might have been in the past In these respects. would 1t not be well worth while to inaugurate a change and see If 1t does not give large returnsp

GRAPE SEEDS.

In Europe the seeds of the grape have various economic uses. In the form of seeds they are fed to the horses and cattle the same as grain and are valued more highly than oats; ground up, they are substituted for coffee; crushed, they furnish high grade oil, which ranks next to and is used similarly to olive oil; besides oil the seeds yield tannin, valuable for tanning and other pur- poses. The day has come when there Is little wasted, and the byproducts as well as the product itself are made to yield an income.

ALCOHOL FROM POTATOES.

Professor H. S. Wiley, chemist of the department of agriculture, has recent ly made public some interesting facts connected with the manufacture of al- colhol from corn and potatoes. He states that at present most of the alcohol produced in the country Is made from Indian corn, while the next most abundant possible source Is the potato-white, sweet or the yam. Some part of the United States, and they constitute a cheap yet convenient source of manufacture. In the manu- facture of alcohol from potatoes the tubers are first reduced to fine pulp, mixed with water and the starch con verted into sugary matter by heating with an acid. After the conversion of starch into sugar, fermentation takes place. This Is usually conducted In large wooden vats of size to core spond to the magnitude of the distil- lery. Once started, fermentation pro ceeds rapidly and Is usually completed within forty-eight or seventy-two hours. From this point the alcohol Is distilled In the same manner as that derived from corn or other prod ucts. Professor Wiley warns against individual attempts to manufacture alcohol and expresses the opinion that the manufacture will have to be car ried on by distilleries located at points easily accessible to those raising large quantities of corn, potatoes and other raw materials.

A Business Grange.

Pamola grange in the town of Han cock, Me, runs a general store. It has done so for eighteen years. Its business last year amounted to over S2S,O00, with q net profit of over S4,- GOO. Goods were sold to members 6 per cent less than to outsiders, and 6 per cent dividends were paid on the capital stock. After dividends and running expenses are paid the balance goes into the grange treasury. About $10,O00 worth of goods are kept on hand.

In picking out pony for the chil- dren's use and pleasure hesitate be- fore taking one that has seen much active service unless you know its history. A pony after having passed through many hands often acquires bad habits and a mean and vicious disposition, and the children instead of cultivating gentle manner will soon learn that the only way that they can get the pony to do what they want is through harsh and cruel treatment, which in time becomes a habit with the children. The pony is capable of educating the child quite as much as the child trains the pony.
