His Idea of SoorInu.

At a country cricket match in Lan- arkshire a local farmers boy was ap- pointed scorer, his duties being care fully explained to him. The first in- ming was not very productive of runs and soon came to an end, and every one made a rush for the scorer. Judge of their surprise, however, when they found that not single mark had been made In the carefully ruled book that had been provided.
 When reproached in somewhat strong terms the boy was not In the least disconcerted. but with the most in- genuous air in the world said:

Antidotes For DormancY.

The best antidotes for a grange that exhibits signs of dormancy are a live lecturer and some young people. The wise lecturer is he who interests as many people as possible in each even- ing's programme. At a recent meeting in the writer's home grange little fif- teen minute entertainment involved every member in tho room. The lec- turer also announced that at the fol lowing meeting each person would be expected to relate some actual expe- rience in life, describe some scene or place or event of which he had n per sonal knowledge. And that meeting was the most interesting one in many weeks. Such granges do not become dormant. There should be practical farm papers and talks and all that, of course, but there should he one num- Der of the evenings programme that will include several of those present

Arms and the Tax.

There are sufficient people in Eng land and Scotland paying the annual tax imposed by the inland revenue up- on the use of armorial bearings to pro- duce sum of SS5o,0o0 each year. The great bulk of this sum Is paid by peo- pie who care not an atom either about their family of their arms, but pay the tax regularly simply because they have carriages or plate heraldically decorat- ed. The really old families of the realm, however, use armorial emblems for decorative purposes to an extent almost incredible In the eyes of those familiar with them only on note paper, table silver and carriage panels.

WHY SHE FADES.

There is probably no occupation wherein the duties which devolve upon those who engage in 1t are more omni- present and insistent than those to be found upon the average American farm. While this is true of the field and other outdoor work, 1t is especially so of the labor which falls to the lot of the good housewife-the proper man. agement of the household and the per- formance of the many duties connected herewith and those which are involved in the care of the dairy, the poultry and the garden. Even in homes where every possible convenience is provided for the doing of work most easily and conveniently the burden of 1t is both heavy and exacting. Where such helps are not provided it is heavier than any woman ought to bear. The instances are all too frequent where tho newly married wife entered upon her duties In the farmhouse with full health and enthusiasm, but with physical strength and endurance far below those of her husband for his outdoor work and inadequate to meet the strains which in the very nature of things are bound to fall upon her. Little chill dren usually come into the home in the early years to add materially to cares and responsibilities already existing. Before many years have passed the freshness and bloom are gone from the cheek, and there is a decided stoop In ch " fvh and supIte. Often at forty, if not be- fore, when she ought to be at the prime of physical strength and condi- ton, she Is dispirited and broken down. Quite likely the husband, pos
 sessed of greater strength at the start and engaging in work which is out of doors, has not realized the burden which his wife has borne in uncom- plaining spirit until doctor has to be called to minister to the tired body and overwrought nerve forces. Fortunate if the damage done is not irreparable, all too often the case. To avert such condition there should be somewhat more of consideration and sympathy on the part of the husbands, the hiring of indoor help during the busiest sea- son of the year, as much of change and outing as possible-perhaps two or three weeks cessation from the routine of work in a visit to the folks-but. above all else, daily expression of love and appreciation from the one for whom she labors freely and gladly. This wife can journey with you but once. Tighten her labors as much as
 will of sunshine and gladness as you may, and both she and you will reap the re- ward of the kindness you bestow.

WORK A BLESSING.

As many elderly people get out of condition and take to their beds as a result of sudden cessation from work as do from the effect of continued orerwork. The physical constitution of elderly people does not seem to take kindly to sudden or decided changes of habit. A dear old friend of the writer who kept his physical powers virtually intact up to the age of ninety-three attributed no small part of his rugged strength to the fact that he always had work which was his to do, and he seemed to be most happy when engaged in it. He did practically all of the blowing on the farm, taking 1t easy on the riding gang blow, while he was always equal to an emergency in corn blowing or harvest. He was so busy and content ed that he had no time for peevishness or complaining, but, rather, was a radiator of sunshine and good cheer on those who came in contact with him. The underlying principle referred to here is worthy of the serious consid
 eration of great many elderly people.

WHERE HE LOSES.

A number Of farmers in western locality have been looking into the mat ter of the sale of corn in shelled and ear form, and they have found that while seventy pounds of dry ear corn make bushel, the allowance for cob being fourteen pounds, the weight of cobs in the standard weight of dry ear corn is really only nine and three quarter pounds. AS a result of their investigation they now make practice of shelling all their corn, where before they were in the habit of marketing it on the ear. With corn worth 45 cents a bushel this would mean a loss of cents for each bushel of corn sold in ear form. Of course the cost of she'll ing ought to be deducted from this, but the cost of shelling would in turn be nearly offset by the value of the cobs, while the expense in hauling the corn in shelled rather than ear form would be just about cut in two. The figures presented furnish all the ex- planation that is necessary.

The Granae and Temperance.

The question occasionally arises in grange communities as to what the position of the grange Is concerning temperance It may be said that a cardinal principle of the grange Is to avoid all intemperance in eating, drink ing and language. We believe 1t should he within the provision of every grange to give its active support to- ward any movement for the enforce ment of existing laws against drunken ness. At the last meeting of the na- tional grange the following resolution was adopted:
 Resolved. That the grange hereby re- news Its fealty to temperance in all things: that it emphasizes its belief that the degrading American saloon ought to be carefully and vigorously guarded until It can be abolished and in the meantime be made and held to strict responsibili- ty for the harm 1t does, and that it be- lieves that every community should be empowered by law to vote every saloon from its midst or its borders.

AN IMPORTANT QUESTION.
If a Grange Disbands, What Should Be
 Done With Its Property7

If Grange Disbands, What Should Be
 Done With Its Property7
 Under New York state grange laws, the personal property of the grange which comes from the national grange, such as manuals, charter, regalia and seal, are taken by the national grange and held in trust by that body until such time as the grange should again become active. The real estate, such as hall, barns, etc, are sold at public auction under the direction of the state grange, and the proceeds of such sale are divided equally among the mem- bers of the grange who were In good standing on the date at which the grange became dormant. There Is misapprehension on the part of many patrons that in case the grange be- comes dormant, if 1t owns hall or other property, such property re- verts to the state grange. Such Is not the case and has never been the policy of the New York state grange. The property belongs to the members of tho subordinate grange who are In good
 
 bands only such participate in the di- vision of the property. The property of a grange cannot be divided so long as thirteen members In good standing object thereto. Some granges have re- trained from having their halls dedi- cated to the uses of the Order for fear that such halls would fall into the hands of the state grange In case the subordinate grange became dormant. We hope this explanation will make the matter clear to everybody and that no grange will hesitate to build hall for fear 1t will fall into the hands of the state grange If the local grange should become dormant Such q thing has never happened in the thirtythree years the New York state grange has been in existence; neither can 1t ever happen under our laws.

A Question We'll Answered.

Is not the present good time to re- duce our grange dues? asks an Ohio patron of State Lecturer Taber. No: that time will never come. To reduce grange dues could but weaken the Order. If it is not worth 10 cents per month to man to be a member of good live grange, to say nothing of the immeasurable benefits conferred in legislation, state and national, 1t is worth nothing.

With roses, as with many other shrubs and plants which one desires to keep through the winter, the idea in covering them is not to keep them warm, but to keep them from thaw- ing and freezing.

With the rosebushes a board or slat covering will usually furnish all the protection that is needed; while mice can make their nests.
