KEYSTONE STATE GRANGE.
Fnvors Grange Life Insurance and
Equal Taxation.

Favors Grange Life Insurance and
Equal Taxation.
The very active grange organization
IN Pennsylvania has again taken a
strong position on several public mat
tiers. At its December session it advo-
Gated ballot reform, parcels post and
postal savings banks, a grange life in
Burance company, grange banks under
national banking laws, trolley freight
systems. Capitalization Of schools and
equal taxation.
Pennsylvania is about the first state
to move in regard to national banks
and to grange life insurance. The ex-
ecutive committee reported that they
favored grangers organizing national
banks in their counties, the capital
stock to be retained, as far as possible,
under control of members of the Order.
In respect to grange life insurance the
following resolution was adopted. We
give it in full, inasmuch as it is likely
to be followed by similar grange legis-
lation in other states:
Whereas, We have learned with alarm
of the great misuse of the policy holders
money by the great life insurance COM
panies; and
Whereas, We do not believe the service
of any man as president of a life insur-
ance company is worth $4,000 per annum;
and,
Whereas, Most insurance companies
take risks that are questionable; and,
Whereas, The American farmer, because
of his temperate habits and outdoor life,
is the best possible risk and the Patron of
Husbandry the best risk among farmers;
therefore, be 1t
Resolved, That we, as Patrons Of Hus-
bandry in state grange assembled, do here
by express 1t as our opinion that it is not
a good business principle for US to con-
tinue paying exorbitant premiums for our
life insurance when our money Is used in
Wall street and by the trusts against our
interests, and be 1t further
Resolved, That the worthy master of
this state grange appoint committee to
work in conjunction with the executive
committee and the worthy master in con-
sidering grange life insurance company
and to prepare plans for the same to pre-
sent to the annual session of the state
grange for 1906.

Ii. o. HadIey Reelected Master-The
Order In Flourishing Condition.
The Order of Patrons of Husbandry
in New Hampshire is in most excellent
condition. The membership is now
over $4,000, and there is balance in
the treasury of the state grange of
about $4,000. The grange mutual fire
insurance company carries about ST.
100000 on farm property and has saved
several thousand dollars to its mem
bers during its existence of seventeen
years. Among the resolutions adopted
was one fayoring the establishment of
a correspondence school in connection
with the New Hampshire Agricultural
college A resolution to reduce the
fees of subordinate oranges was de-
feated after lengthy debate. One
thousand dollars was voted for edu-
cational purposes in the subordinate
oranges. Another opposing the estab-
lishment Of the Salem race track was
adopted. Herbert o. Hadley was re
elected master, and large class re-
ceived the sixth degree National Mas
ter Bachelor was present and In an
address said, speaking Of his election
to the office of national master
Much as appreciate the honor, I am
almost overwhelmed with the sense Of
responsibility attached to 1t. When con-
slider the fact that it includes within its
jurisdiction more than so state oranges
zoo Pomona oranges, $4,000 chartered
subordinate oranges, about 100000 mem
bers, holding more than 100000 meet
ings annually, I am appalled, at the OPP
portunity for progressive influence, as
well as responsibility of far reaching dis
aster to the organization. ! enter upon
the work with an appreciation of the pos
sibilities of success and the danger of
failure.
Speaking of the contrast between the
representative body which met in Man
chester this year and the same organ
ization Of twenty-five years ago,
Manchester paper said that the growth
and influence of the grange in that
time were surprising and compliment
ed the high order of intelligence of the
men and women who attended the
state grange sessions and who know
the needs Of their communities and
who are interested in the educational,
moral and material welfare of the
state.''

Japanese Flower Fancies.

In Japan no man is so great or SO
learned as to treat with Indifference
the world of flowers. The higher posi-
ton he holds the more he is observed
to give his time and thoughts to flow
ers and their ways, for it is there men
of rank. philosophers and priests, learn
ed and literary men, besides ladies of
the aristocracy, most profoundly study
floral arrangements and are allowed
to practice this art as likely to inspire
gentleness, self denial, forgetfulness
of care and spirituality. Indeed, a
lifetime is none too long for Japa-
nese to devote to the subtle meanings
conveyed by flowers and to store up an
appreciation Of their respective rank In
his own and nearby lands.
The flowers that the Japanese en-
phatically reject from their hierarchy
are the rose and the lily. These they
regard as crude and unrefned express
sions of nature and indeed this thought
is expressed in Japan Of many other
flowers ecstatically loved in Great Brit
ain and this country. New York Her

are used, but some persons prefer to
use the whole root and graft at the
crown In piece root grating from
two to four trees are made from a
single root A piece of root from two
to four inches long is used. The CRAFTS
are packed away in sand, moss or saw
dust in cool cellar until spring. when
the two parts will be firmly calloused
together. If the storage cellar is cool
not above 40 degrees they will knit
together so that they can be planted
without danger of breaking apart. If
the cellar is warm the gratis will start
into growth and be lost
Scions are cut in fall or winter or any
time before the buds swell in spring.
Only the previous years growth is
used in all ordinary cases. The scions
are stored in sand, moss or sawdust
in a cool cellar, or they may be buried
in a sandy place. It is a common
opinion that scions are worthless if cut
during freezing. Bailey who is au-
thority for the foregoing information
about this kind of grating, says this
opinion is unfounded
A brief description and illustration
Of the process are here presented:
TO make whip graft cut the stock
off diagonally -one long, smooth cut
with a. sharp knife, as shown in Fig.
A. Place the knife short distance
from the end of the cut surface at
right angles to the cut, and split the
stock in the direction of its long axis.
Cut the lower end of the scion (B) in
like manner, and when the two parts
are forced together (C) the cut sur
faces will fit neatly, and one will
nearly cover the other if the scion and
stock are of the same size. The parts
are usually held together by winding
with waxed string or waxed cloth
bands, but some propagators discard
all tying Of root CRAFTS

Rhode Island Matters.

State Master Marchant is after the
state board of agriculture. He be-
lieves that the laws governing that
body should be thoroughly revised. He
says that nearly all the present appro-
priations expended under the direction
of the board are used in killing tuber
culous cows. In most cases the dis
ease is so far advanced that the cows
are no longer a profit to their owners
or have been purchased by spectators
because they were sick and the buyer
could make good profit by turning them
over to the state under the tuberculosis
law. This, he thinks, would not be so
regretable, but many cattle are taken
into Rhode Island from other states
and released there by the cattle com
missioners upon physical examina-
ton which, he says, in some cases has
consisted Of sitting upon the fence

to cover up some color defects in the
