the remedy and dishonesty is not in

field. On the contrary, Mr.. Mahool
summarizes his views as follows:
'An aroused public conscience and
the participation in the public affairs
of all the citizens will give the desired
good results, which ever form c, gov

ence and lack of attention to the af.

bers of the executive board.
Des Moines, Dec. 6. BY unan-
imous vote the special delegate con-
vention of the Iowa district of the
United Mine Workers late yesterday
refused to accept the designations Of
low officers and the executive board
of the organization. Not only did the
body, do this, but the convention also
adopted resolutions commencing
President White, Secretary Perry and
the other officers for their /. faithful
work and reiterating past expressions
OF confidence in them. ai
The action Of the convention was
not taken without debate, in fact the
greater part Of the day was taken up
with discussion of the matter. Some
of the speeches were fiery and the
questioning heated, but when it came
to vote the body was unanimous.
Even the delegates from the Brazil
local, the union that had demanded
the designations, fell in line and re-
fused to offer dissenting vote. Joe
Sharp, the member OF the executive
board Of the national organization,
and candidate for president of the
Iowa district, who presided at the
convention, Is a member of the Brazil
local. Personally he was in perfect
accord with the action Of President
White and the other officers In advis.
ing the miners to accept part Of their
pay in cashiers checks or clearing
house certificates during the financial
stringency
Today the special convention will
determine the future attitude Of the
organization On the pay proposition
Judging from expressions Of delegates
last night the convention will adopt
resolutions leaving 1t entirely to the
judgment Of President White, secre
tary Perry and the executive board
OF coming out and declaring that II
would be best for the miners union
to cooperate with the legitimate busi
ness interests of the country in try
ing to ste mthe present financial fur
ry by accepting part Of their pay in
other than currency.
If the resolutions leaving it to the
judgment of the officers are adopted
it will mean practically the same as
the last, as the officers have hitherto
expressed themselves in favor Of de
waiting from the rules requiring al
cash in case the financial situation Is
not improved.

A POMONA ADDRESS.
Some Possibly Radical Views on Vari
Gus Subjects Expressed.

Some Possibly Radical Views on vari-
Gus Subjects Expressed.
The custom was inaugurated some
years ago in the Columbia county IN.
VI Pomona Of having an annual ad-
dress by the master covering the work
of the year briefly and making sug-
gestions for advancing the work in the
year to come. At the Columbia county
Pomona meeting in january the mas
ter, Edward Van Alstyne of Kinder
hook. gave most admirable address.
from which few extracts appeared in
the Country Gentleman. Speaking of
the organization Of new oranges, he
said he believed it to be mistake to
plant them where the field is prac-
tically crowded with them already.
He had had opportunity to observe the
usefulness of the Order over wide
field and too often had found oranges
that had name to live, but were
dead. The cause most times was an
untimely start or placed where the
support was insufficient On increas-
ing membership he said we should not
so out into the byways and hedges, as
it were. and compel people to come in
who have little sympathy with the pl1r-
poses of the Order or with agriculture.
Such are likely to be il burden or an
element of discord.
Mr.. Van Alstyne believed II to be a
serious mistake to depart from the
principles OF our Order aud take in as
members those not directly interested
in agriculture, however estimable PEG
pie they may be in other respects. We
should also avoid, said he, that class OF
membership that has only an eye for
the ssloaves and fishes" The one who
comes into the Order only that he may
be able to insure his buildings at a
less cost or buy horse blanket or a
bushel OF clover seed % cents cheap
er is worth only his initiation fee and
annual dues to the Order. The hope
of our agriculture is in our youth.
They should be in our oranges. Let
them dance at the proper time il they
wish to. and better that they do it

ence of the grange than to be forced
to go outside to places perhaps they
ought not to go. And let them fill some
OF the offices occasionally. It will in
crease their interest and train them for
future service He recommends the
organization of juvenile oranges wher-
ever practicable He advises a meet
ing of the subordinate lecturers under
the direction Of the county lecturer to
discuss the programmes and literary
work in general. He closed with a
strong word of counsel to send only
representative men and women as
delegates to the state grange and sug-
gested that prior to the meeting OF
the Pomona for electing delegates
each. grange in the county be request
ed to send to the secretary of the Pc
mona the names Of one man and one
woman and that the delegates be Sc
lected from the persons SO nominated.

aeement.
There are doubtless two opinions as
to the practical value of juvenile
oranges, says an exchange, and not all
have been successful that have been
organized. Success depends very
largely on the person who is appoint
ed to have charge Of the juveniles.
Not only must they be started right,
but they must be kept right under the
wise direction of a faithful matron.
There is no reason why they should
fail. This is true of the juvenile work.
1t does fit the young people for intelli-
gent and helpful membership in the
subordinate grange, it gives them
something to do which win broaden
their interests, it trains them in the
conduct of public meetings and in par
liamentary usage, and socially it may
be made instructive as well as enjoy
able. Times and places for meetings.
whether at the same time as the sub
ordinate grange in an adjoining room
or at some other place and time, are
matters that give considerable trouble
If such problems can be satisfactorily
solved. one serious objection to the
Young peoples organization is over
come At any rate, the subject IS
worthy Of careful consideration.

Feeding the Milk Maker

Butter favor is !. fling largely de-
termined by the feeding and care Of
the COW. While owing to bad manage
ment good feed often produces poor but
ter, it is impossible to produce fine but
ter with a fine favor from poor feed.
Food Value of Corn.
Some stations have published results
of their experiments, which prove that
45 per cent of the food value of corn
is in the stalks, leaves and husks. This
makes the stalks nearly as valuable as
the corn. If it is put into the silo at
the right time it viii be excellent food
ana will be eaten up clean. For this
reason it is good policy to work the
corn crop into silage-
Feeding Grain.
The amount Of grain to feed should
be only two-ffths the number OF
pounds of milk the cow IS giving, says
the Holstein- F'riesian Register. If a
cow gives thirty pounds Of milk she
should get two-ffths of thirty, or
twelve pounds of grain daily. A COW
giving fifteen pounds of milk daily
should get two-fifths Of that, or stS
pounds of grain.
weighing the Grain.
When you suggest to a farmer that
he weigh the grain he feeds his cows
he will naturally say that it is out OF
the question lie has not the time. Il
will seem to him big job to weigh
the grain that is fed to each animal Al
night and IN the morning. There IS 9
very simple way TO get around this
and yet know just what you are feed
ing, says a writer in KinbalPs Dairy
Farmer. Every farmer has q pan or
measure Of scme kind with which his
grain or meal is proportional to tbs
stock. IF he win simply take this meas
ure and weigh it once, It will be an easy
matter to estimate the amount which is
fed each time. had q small measure
which held four pounds Of chopped
corn weighed this once, and thai
was sufficient TO keep close tab on wha1
the stock were getting.

The Annual Meetings.

Nearly all state oranges held their
annual meetings in December, and
from one end of the country to the
other comes the universal report of
growing interest in the work and in
creased membership and larger oppor-
tunities for working out the various
problems that confront the farmer.
The grange was never. SO strong. 50 ae-
tive and so influential as at the present
moment So long as it keeps its skirts
clear of all political entanglements its
future is secure.
