RITUALISTIC WORK.

Time Devoted to It's Proper Rendering
 Is Time We'll Spent.
 To one who has studied the ritual of our Order 1t almost seems a sacri- lege to have the beautiful lessons of life and farm work murdered as they are at times, says a writer in the Michigan Farmer. No expression whatever is put into the rendering of the lectures. Notwithstanding one of our main teachings is, Whatever Is worth doing at all Is worth doing we'll"
 Officers should not only commit their parts to memory, but should study the expression so they may render them in a manner that will bring out in an i'm pressiye way the lessons they are de- signed to teach. Let our initiates enter the grange for the first time to find everything in perfect order, officers and members performing their parts in an earnest, faithful manner, as good laborers on our grange farm, and we are assured of members who will take hold of the work In the same spirit. If, on the other hand, the new mem Der enters to find the hall in confusion. whispered conversations going on here and there, officers mumbling over some. thing which he, they or nobody else understands, in the same way will his grange career be carried on.
 And another thing, the chief lesson we all have to learn in life Is that of discipline. Slight the work or the laws which govern our Order and this les son is thrown away. Impress upon our younger members that there is right and wrong way to do things and you are making better men and better wo- men, for they will be at all times ready to work together as one whole for the good of all

WHAT MICHIGAN ORANGES DID
To Promote Their Own and Neighbor
 hood Interests.

To Promote Their Own and Neighbor-
 hood Interests.
 Miss Jennie Buell., the former sec retary of the Michigan state grange. in a recent issue of the Michigan Farmer remarks that there Is wide scope for every grange in the way of fostering a spirit of. neighborhood pride and unity by every means that tends to neighborhood betterments. It may be to help introduce new crops. One Michigan grange distributed al falfa seed for Its members to expert ment with and so enlisted the depart ment of agriculture that an expert was sent to instruct them In its culture and care. It may be to aid in bring ing conveniences and protection to Its homes and members. One grange started a telephone system that has now covered the county and Is extend ing beyond. Another grange sent committee to ask that a certain rail- road place a guard at dangerous crossing in that vicinity. Rural mail routes have been repeatedly solicited through grange agitation and mail boxes and bulletin boards placed be- fore farm homes. Cooperation has been established among schoolteach- CTS, pupils and patrons In some places, notable example being the Hesperia movement of Oceana county, Mich, made possible because the grange fur nished the machinery through which 1t could be worked up. Cemeteries are being cared for through sentiment aroused and plans made in grange ses- sions. Public advertising on barns, fences, stones and trees were decried In a certain Pomona grange until more than one said, My boy has torn off the signs on the fences since he heard so much against them in the grange"
 It Is in the province of every grange to incite it's members to name their farm homes and use stationery having this name and the farm speciality print ed on 1t, to keep the roadside tidy, to make their schoolhouses and yards homelike and to care for natural curl osities and beautiful trees and shrubs in public places.

The Question Box.

What Is the specific advantage to a grange in becoming an incorporated or ganizaton?
 The advantage of grange incorpora- tion is that it gives the grange busi- ness standing, allowing it to buy, sell, contract-in fact do business as an individual. The acts of Its purchasing agent are binding on the grange treas ury and not on the members. If q purchasing agent of a grange makes q bargain, 1t may be repudiated by an in- corporated grange and he held re- sponsible, but if given authority by an incorporated grange the grange Is re- sponsible as far as its treasury goes and no further-that Is, there Is DO in- dividual liability.

Cooperation In New Jersey.

We shall have to look to New Jersey to find grange cooperation In purchas- ing farm supplies most generally prac- ticed. Here are a few figures showing the value of such purchases for twelve months in several granges: Vineland, $48,0O0; Fricsburg, $3,200; Somerset, s5,00O; Medford, $7,OOO or Ss,0OO; Hope, S2,To0; Morristown, $43,000; Riverside, S14,335; Columbus, S4,500; Mullica Hill, S7,000; Pioneer, $3,500; Mercer, S6,0O0 While financial bene- fits accruing from grange membership are perfectly legitimate, yet 1t is not grange practice to emphasize these benefits or hold them out as induce ments to prospective members.

Enables State Lecturer to Locate Weak
 Spots and Render Aid.
 New Hampshire, Massachusetts and this year New York are conducting a system of quarterly reports from sub ordinate grange lecturers to the state lecturer relative to the work of the lecture hour. The total Is little less than amazing. Take the New Hamp- shire report, for instance, which is for nine months only, ending Oct l, 1906. During the nine months there were giv- en in various granges of the state the following:
 Selections of vocal music, 4,292; se lections of instrumental music, 3,154; readings and recitations, 7,203; essays, 1.035; addresses, S10; dramas, "A; farces, 254; tableaux, 435; discussions, 1,789; number of speakers on discus sions, 10,335; attendance during pro- grammes, 134, ,7S4.
 Three questions were assigned for si- multaneous discussion. In February PIT granges considered the teaching of nature studies in our common schools and S63 persons spoke upon this sub ject before 5,421 people. In May the question whether the state should pay for the damage done by game animals protected by law was raised. Nine hundred and two speakers addressed 1929 people on this matter.

POPULAR STATE LECTURER.

He Keeps Thirty-two Cows on Fifty
 Acres of Land Successfully.
 Lewis J. Taber was chosen lecturer of the Ohio state grange at its last ses- sion. He was born in 1878 of sturdy Quaker parentage and is still firm adherent of that faith. He Is a suc- cessful farmer on small but intensive scale, and that he has solved the prob lem of intensive farming will be grant ed when we say that on farm of fifty acres he keeps thirty-two cows suc- cessfully. His lecturers programme for 1907 Is one of the most interesting,
