A Few of the Resolutions Adopted by
 the National Grange.
 Among the numerous resolutions yer were those which follow They will give an idea of the position which the grange will take the coming year on these important public questions:
 Resolved, That the time has come when the common good demands that both logs and lumber shall be placed upon the list of free imports; and, further resolved. that the legislative committee of the national grange be and is hereby instructed to urge before the incoming congress the legislation suggested in these resolutions.
 Resolved, That congress be. urged to give the rural free mail carrier a square deal and make his compensation, all things considered, equal to that of the city carrier.
 Resolved, That we favor the enactment amount of land that may be owned or leased by a single individual or corpora tion and that the taxing power be used to restrict and break up the holding of excessively large quantities of land.
 Resolved. That we favor the placing of progressive tax upon all fortunes be- yond certain amount, either given in life or devised or bequeathed upon death to any indfvidual-a tax so framed as to put it out Of the power of the owner Of one of these enormous fortunes to hand on more than a certain amount to any one individual.
 Resolved, That under a wise and far seeing interpretation of the interstate commerce clause of the constitution the national government should have com plete power to deal with all of this wealth which in any way goes into the commerce between the states.
 Resolved That the national grange fa- vors and urges congress to abolish the franlxing and penalty privileges and re- quire all mail matter to be prepaid at the regular postage rates, as was formerly the law.
 Resolved, That the national grange Is of the unanimous conclusion that the dis tribution of many kinds and varieties of garden and field seeds by the department of agriculture Is without benefit in any important sense and the practice should be abandoned.
 Resolved, That the matter of national sale of nursery stock not truly named be them to secure protective legislation
 Resolved, That the national grange op- poses the concealing of stamps, marks and brands after they have been placed on packages of oleo, renovated or adul- terated butter. The statute should be so amended that the stamps should be ex- posed to public view.
 Resolved, That congress be asked to in- crease the appropriation for the exten- sion of agricultural education from s. 100000 to S20, 0,Oo0. 900.

Get Him to Join.

President Roosevelt had com mandatory word for the grange in his annual message. He said: "Organi;a- ti0 has become necessary in the b;:si- ness world. and 1t has accomplished much good in the world of labor. It Is no less necessary for farmers. Such a movement as the grange movement is good in itself and is capable of a well nigh infinite further extension for good so long as it is kept to its own legitimate business. The benefits to be derived by the association of farm CTS for mutual advantage are partly economic and partly sociological"

No Place For Grumblers.

A man who stands on the street corner chewing and splitting. telling how the government should be run, cursing the town, finding fault with his grandmother because she was q woman, claiming that the merchants are a lot of thieves, that the lawyers md newspaper men would skin a man to a finish, and whole lot more, Is a nuisance and an abomination, says the Mackville (Kan.) Enterprise. Any town pestered with one or more such worthies would be justified In exercis- ing cowhide authority on the bosoms of their trousers. No one Is obliged to live where he Is not suited If things don't suit you, go where they will. A growler and 6 sorehead In a town is un enterprise tiller every time.

Every toiier, man or woman, owes it to himself or herself to take day off in the woods to kick around in the leaves or pass the time with rod and gun The autumn colors and earthly smell, coupled with picnic dinner of broiled steak or fish, boiled potatoes, hot coffee and bread, with a dip of raspberry jam for a finisher, make eye brighter and heart beat faster and fur nish relaxation, invigoration and health. Go to the woods, thou galley slave, and be free and young again.

1t always seems so strange to go into a country home and find that they buy their mince meat. It seems as out of place as it would to buy can ned pumpkin or baked beans. There is no mince meat, like that of the home manufacture.

A BIG LEAK.

The quality of butter which is made in the creamsries of the dairy sections of the country, whether gathered cream or separator concerns, could be greatly improved if all the patrons would take the precaution of giving all utensils used In the handling of the milk q thorough scalding and summing wher- ever the latter is possible. The col lective indifference and carelessness of body of creamery patrons are be- yond question responsible for the loss of hundreds of dollars through the re- .sulting inferior quality of the butter product Multiply the annual butter output of any creamery by from l to 5 cents and one has in cold figures the loss that Is sustained as a result of the slovenly handling of milk and cream. Suppose the loss is ? cents per pound. With the average rural cream cry whose summer output is 10000 pounds a week the loss resulting from this one cause would be $2O0 or enough to pay the wages of a first class buttermaker for two months. One cannot make a whistle out of pigs tall; neither can the best butter
 maker on earth remove from cream the taint that is imparted through care less handling and produce butter product that will fetch top notch prices. In nine eases out of ten where returns for butter sold are not up to what they might be the trouble may he ,remedied by scalding the milk cans rather than scolding the buttermaker.

PAPER FROM COTTON FIBER.

After a long series of experiments the president of the Southern Cotton association comes forward with a statement to the effect that all qualities of paper from the finest linen grade down can be profitably manufactured from the fiber of the cotton stalk, which has hitherto been a waste mate rial. It has also been found that in the process of manufacture several valua- ble byproducts are secured, including alcohol, nitrogen and material for smokeless powder. It is expected by tbcse directly interested that several of these new paper plants will be in full operation by the first of the new year. Since the stalks average ton for ev- cry bale of cotton grown, this would make available 12,000,000 tons of raw material annually, which is twice as much as would be needed by all the mills of the country at the present rate of consumption. It is to be hoped that when the industry develops on a large scale it may prove all that its promoters now anticipate, for it would not only render valuable a hitherto waste product, but would greatly lessen the enormous drain upon the spruce forests of the country, which at present furnish the bulk of the mate rial for the manufacture of the cheaper grades of paper.

DRAWN AND UNDRAwN POULTRY.

DRAWN AND UNDRAwN POULTRY.
 Notwithstanding that considerable prejudice has developed against the sale of undrawn poultry during the past twenty months, largely due to several instances of poisoning result ing from poultry that was kept for too long a time Tn cold storage in this condition, recent bulletin issued by the chemist in chief of the agricul- tural department at Washington gives very emphatic verdict in favor of marketing poultry in the undrawn rather than the drawn condition, this judgment being the result of a care fully conducted experiment. Two tur- keys, one drawn and the other not, were hung up on the 9th of February. At the end of week it was found the other was in perfect condition. Four days later both birds were cut open, it being found that the drawn bird was in bad state of decomposi- ton, while the one undrawn was still in an excellent state of preservation. A practical recommendation contained in the bulletin was to the effect that poul- try should under no circumstances be killed for market unless it had been kept from food for the preceding twen. ty-four hours, as the presence of part ly digested food in the body tended to increase decomposition very greatly. So strongly was this point emphasized that it was suggested that law be passed imposing a heavy fine for put ting poultry on the market in this con dition. The points touched upon should be noted by every shipper of poultry.

THE FARMERS, INSTITUTE.

In all the more progressive and Eideawake agricultural districts of the country the farmers institute is a fixture and has come to be reckoned as one of the most practical and val uable aids in disseminating up to date information touching the operation of the farm and its kindred interests. h. cluding in its scope, as it does, the field, the stock yard, the poultry yard and the household in its many aspects, the institute iS of value to every mem Der of the family. As soon as the date of holding this meeting is set the work of the farm should be so arranged that all of sufficient age can attend. and nothing of trivial character should be allowed to prevent the carrying out of this plan. Go not only with the idea of getting some benefit from the ses- sions, but of contributing something to them along the line of valuable facts and information. Your going will thus have a double value, and your state of mind will be analogous to that of the old deacon who rated as the best prayer meeting he had ever attended one in which, though sparsely attend ed, he himself had prayed and testt fed The best farmers institutes we have ever known have not been those in which the scheduled speakers occu- pied all of the time, but which were agricultural experience meetings par ticipated in by the rank and file of the audience present. Arrange your work so as to attend your home county insti- ute and go with the idea of making the most possible of 1t for yourself and your neighbors.

No boy or girl should justify naeager educational attachments on the ground that 1t is somebody's patriotic duty to do the dirty work of the world If each one does the best possible for himself along the line of a development of mental faculties there are bound to be plenty left to do the common tasks of life. He not only does the best thing for himself, but for his country as well, who fits himself for the very highest possible station in life that ii is possible for him to occupy. Who does less is false to his trust.

both town and country schools, but particularly the latter, should see to it that the child learns the lesson of punctuality in school attendance as well as other truths that may be got from the schooihouse. While the habit of dragging in late every other morn ing or two is one that the children can very readily fall into. it is nevertheless a habit that should be corrected not only for the sake of the school order and discipline, but particularly for the good of the child himself

A custom that should be cultivated in more American homes is that of ob- serving the special days-holidays, birthdays and anniversaries-with some memento, flowers perhaps. which mean much more to our dear ones from time to time living than heaped upon their caskets when life's light is gone out and floral beauty and fragrance can bear no welcome message of love and appreciation. Postponed kindness is merely thoughtlessness, lack of appre- ciation and hardness of heart. The other is the better way.
