What the GRANGE Wants.

Ex-Governor G. j. Bell of Vermont,
asked recently in a newspaper inter-
view, "What does the grange hope to
accomplish in the next few years Z"
said:
Among the reforms for which we
win strive are: The parcels post, in
many states the postal savings bank,
national aid for good roads everywhere
as one Of the things very essential to
the farmer, centralized schools in To-
calities where conditions are favorable,
the introduction of agricultural studies
In the public schools, not entirely for a
commercial purpose, but also for edu-
cational advantages. The grange al
ways stands for good citizenship and
as much as any organization stands for
the things which will produce it. Its
policy viii be nonpartisan, but always
for the best. Good citizenship means
much is all that need be said along
that line. The organization is now rec
ognized by congress and taken into
consideration on legislation affecting
farmers"
"Will the grange get all the things
for which it is now strivingY was
asked.
Eyes, everything, and | say this be-
cause the things for which we stand
are right"

RlBSTON PIPPIM.

1t Succeeds Well as Dwarf-Fruit Is
of High Quality.
The Ribston apple, or Ribston pippin.
seems not to have found much favor
in North America except in Nova SEQ
tia. Perhaps one reason why it has
gained more ground there is that Nova
Scotia apples are largely shipped to
England, where Ribston is always in
high demand. The apple fhrives in
oil the northeastern states. Here
in Vermont it does as well as
Baldwin, and the fruit is fairer, firm
er and, at least to my partial judg-
ment, better than the Ribstons from
Nova Scotia. The Vermont grown
specimens are smaller, rounder and
smoother. But there is no special de-
mand for the variety in the markets
of the United States. That's the whole
secret Of the neglect, think. But it
is fine, handsome apple of high quail

The Turkey.

Young turkeys are harder to raise
than chicks or ducklings, and in order
to succeed with them more pains must
be taken to study their nature and
habits
The young can be trained to come
up regularly at about o'clock to be
fed when they can easily be driven
into the roosting place for the night.
In picking stock from which to start
make your calculations that some are
wild and some are tame
The Bronze variety is very desirable
for the market on account of its size
and the sweet favor of its meat, but
on account of its wild, rowing DISPOSE
ton this variety is hard to raise. The
birds nearly always hide their nests
and perhaps will not be seen for a
month or two at Matching season.
The White Hollands are more domes-
ticated and are more apt to make their
nests about the barn and outbuildings,
same as chickens do. They are also
good layers, having record of as high
as 100 eggs each.
They are probably a little harder to
raise than the Bourbon Reds, which,
by the way, are handsome birds, but
do not become quite so tame.
All turkeys are peculiar about their
nests, and when they once select the
location they must not be disturbed

Peaches of Recent Years.

Many of the peaches that were in
high repute half century ago have
passed out of popular favor. But there
is the satisfaction that their places
have been more than filed by later in
Productions. Some of the best of these
are from the south-Triumph, Greens
boro, Carman, Belle Of Georgia, Ell
berta, etc. and they are giving a good
account of themselves in all the peach
growing sections of the north.
Elberta was the first Of these to gain
distinction. It is large. yellow free
stone, valuable for canning and fol
other uses that are made of peaches
Several varieties that are similar in
appearance have come into notice
since, Mathews Beauty, Emma, Cap
tain EIDE and one or two others, but
though they may be said to be good
peaches they are behind Elberta in
one or more particulars. says National
Stockman and Farmer.
Belle of Georgia sometimes called
simply BELIZE is a large, white feshed
peach of fine quality and is closely
akin to Elberta, both being originally
seedlings of the north China strain OF
peaches, concerning which little was
known until recent years. Greensboro
and Carman are also of the same orr
gin, but much earlier, and on this ac-
count are desirable. as is also Triumph,
the latter being the only extra early
variety of yellow flesh. These three
very early kinds are inclined to cling
slightly
The latest additions in the north
China class are Quinn and Motlow,
both from the south and both large
freestones with yellow flesh; quality
said to be fully equal to liberia,
Quinn ripening ten days in advance of
it and Motlow coming into use week
or so after Elberta is gone. Like Ell
berta, their yellow flesh would indi-
cate a cross with one of the Craw-
fords or some other variety of the
same color.
These promising new varieties are
well worthy of trial, but, of course, in
a limited way, for in bringing any
fruit, peach, pear, apple, ETC., 500
miles or even 100 from the place of its
origin it can never be known how it
may do in every respect until fully
tested. This testing is the business of
the pomologist and the nurseryman
and is generally more or less costly.
But any one planting for family use
or for market wants the kinds that
have been well tried and found to be
successful in bis own neighborhood.

ONE THING OR MANY.

Should the Grange Limit Its Energies
to the Farm?
Dr. George NJ Twitchell quotes GIL
bert M. Tucker as having said at a
large grange rally In New York that
the grange should confine itself pretty
closely to those questions which con
Germ the farmer as a farmer and not
undertake to discuss and settle that
great number of questions which con-
Germ others as much as they concern
the farmers. He said that Mr.. Tucker
cited in support Of his position the
results obtained by the labor unions.
He would advise going after one thing
at a time and putting the whole
strength Of the organization into it.
Dr.. Twitchen then said: .1This is to
my mind both sound and unsound. 1t
Is true that the Order must be -centered
on large and far reaching problems
and that at the heart of each and
every one must be the welfare Of the
industry, but under the complex rela-
lions of the present the farmer is
first of all a Citizen, and every question
bearing upon the home, the farm or
the duties Of citizenship becomes vital
to him. You cannot narrow the
grange to sone thing at time even
though by SO doing greater influence
may be conferred on a problem.
What the grange needs and every
other organization wants to feel today
is the necessity for an acute interest
in the homes, schools, churches and all
civic problems and to seek diligently
for such solution of each as will
strengthen home life on the farm and
insure stronger, more positive public
sentiment along the higher lines of liy-
ing. Against the tendency to drift
every hand must be raised, and this
tendency will be checked as active,
earnest interest Is fixed upon all the
questions bearing upon the farm and
farm life. The growing of crops and
disposal Of the same cover problems of
deep Significance, but towering above
those are the questions which relate
to the home and the future welfare
and worth of its members. Here is a
great work for the grange and a
grand opportunity for every patron"

RIBsroN APPLES.

Their average diameter is three inches.J
ity and deserves to be grown by those
persons who like to have the best fruits
in their own gardens.
1t succeeds well as a dwarf and is
one of the best varieties for culture in
that form. The fruit is considerably

None Such, variety much more pop
ular in this country. In fact, as the
two varieties are grown in northern

more golden color on the outside, and
the flesh ought TO be distinctly yellow
ish when ripe, whereas the flesh of
Hubbardston is more greenish white,
writes F. A. Waugh in Gardening.
The following description of Ribston
is from well grown, selected Vermont
specimens, which were also verified by
Colonel Bracket of the department Of
agriculture.
Fruit roundish oblate, inclining to
comic, size medium to large, cavity

slender; basin deep, broad, ribbed. a

The Logical Outcome of the Rural
Free Delivery Service.
The national grange will set in mo-
ton some strong forces this fall to Sc
cure the enactment Of parcels post
law. 1t is going to be the hardest
kind Of a fight, but some sort Of
law governing the transportation in
the malls Of small packages up to
eleven pounds or SO weight Is surely
coming in the near future, and the
grange is going to be the important
factor in its accomplishment as 1t was
In regard to the rural free delivery
system National Master Bachelor
said In an address delivered before the
New Hampshire Retail Grocers' asso-
citation, "a cheap parcels post is, in
fact, the logical outcome of the rural
mail service and the one thing needed
to make it self supporting" The grange
plan provides for a general parcels
post with maximum weight limit of
eleven pounds to cost % cents to any
postoffice in the United States and a
rural parcels post with the same max
imum weight, the rates to be cent for
each pound or fraction thereof and
cent for each additional two pounds
up to eleven pounds, and this rural
rate to be available only on any one
rural route to and from the postof1ce
to which the route belongs. This Is
probably the proposition which the ma
tional grange will ask the various state
oranges to indorse this winter.
