Over 5O,OOO Attend Grange Lectures
 In Three Months.
 State Lecturer Pattee of Kew Hamp- shire reports a most excellent work done in that state during the first three months of this year. There were given 1,601 selections of vocal and 937 selec tions of instrumental music, 2,43S read lngs, 531 essays, 327 addresses. 1G dramas, 70 farces, 103 tableaux, 6G4 discussions upon which 4,210 people spoke; 52,S37 people heard these pro- grammes. In all there were 10,2iT parts given, consuming Il days, 3 hours and 46 minutes. Can the value of such an amount of work be esti- mated?
 'T read and am told" says Mir. Pat tee, that during the summer months grange interest slackens and that lit erary work must be Tn lighter vein I do not concur in that opinion. I be- lieve in bard work in hot weather. The summer season Is that of greatest activity among farmers, and I hold that people can work harder with their heads when they work harder with their hands. I do not mean that pro grammes should be long and tedious. but that they should be more carefully arranged and presented In the best possible form. Do not expect your members to sit through a dull pro gramme in q hot hall. See to 1t that matters concerning the work in which they are at that time engaged are brought to the attention of the mem bers. Every member will be interested when his own affairs are under dis cussion. For example, in the having season a thirty minute programme, with essays, readings and a discussion concerning the hay crop, will be of interest to the farmers, who would not care to listen to a programme deal ing with European affairs, interesting as they may be. Above all, do not in- fringe upon the time and patience of your people by lengthy programmes Thirty minutes of good work on hot night Is better than an hour that drags."

The haste which causes the good housewife to neglect to put out the gas oline burner when filling the tank is criminal as well as shortsighted, the time which is thus saved being fire quently offset by death by burning, funeral expenses and a bereaved and grief stricken family.

There is no time when selection of potatoes for seed can be done to better advantage than at the time of digging, for the reason that not only size, but the matter of yield as well, should re- ceive attention when the selection is made. While the matter of size can be noted at a glance, the latter character istic can only be determined when the tubers are dug from the ground. Care ful selection of seed in the manner in- dicated would tend to materially in- crease the productivity of any variety grown.

We have this year In our home gar den very thrifty golden russet branch top grafted in a Patterns greening which has hatful of the finest kind of fru2 set. The thriftiness of this scion from the time 1t was set three years ago leads us to think that a fine orchard of russet trees could be got by top grating Duchess, Hibernal or Patten's greening stock with russet scions the first and second seasons after the young trees were set out. We have Duchess trees which were thus grafted with Crimes Golden, Yellow Transparent and other scions four years ago, which today are seemingly as thrifty and hardy as could be de- sired.

up the Wailua mountains to the sum-
nit of the ridge separating this side of
the island from the Hanalei side. A
few days ago Mr.. Lydgate personally
conducted a party consisting of Mr.. G.
~ Wilcox, Mr.. Purvis and Mr.. Broad
bent on this trip. daylight start
and breakfast at camp, to which they
drove, gave plenty of time for the as
cent. A good trail has been made as
cending the ridge between the two
northern branches of the Wailua so
that it is an easy ride to the summit
taking about an hour and a half. The
view is increasingly extensive and in
teresting as the elevation increases, eX-
tending from Kappa to Laval The
view of the mountains to the West
Waialeale and the Hanalei wall is
particularly fine. While on the other
side the Kapahi mountains seem only
stones throw away.
Another party including a number
of ladies is on the carpet for this week

Their is a "sine qua non"
Sprigs of mistletoe were brought back
by the mountain party. SO that here
after the pretty girls may not be so
secure at Christmas time.
Native Hawaiian gardenias were also
shown delightfully."- fragrant. They
grew on a forest tree.
The party report themselves as sur
prised at the amount of work which
has been done there in the way of road
making bridge building, besides the
pole line construction. 1t must have
been a daring und .rtaking to build a
line over so rugged a Countrywide
Garden Island.
