There is no change in the strike situ-

Each side seems disposed to accept
the alternative of arbitration to set

Jefferson County, N. Y., Makes . Good
 Report to the State Grange.
 We have thirty-three granges, twen. ty-four of which own their halls, and all are in a prosperous condition. The membership Sept. 30, 1906, was 6,740, a gain of 271 during the year, and Jan. l the membership was 6,79S. The Po- mona has a membership of 610. We still continue the practice of appoint ing fifth degree members to visit ev- cry grange and report at the Septem- Der meeting, thus making another link between the Pomona and subordinate grange.
 A lecturers association was organ ized in 1905, which held three meet ings the past year and seems to be of considerable interest and benefit, and much more is hoped for In the fu- ture. The Patrons Fire Relief assc- ciation is now carrying about $13,o00,- 900 in risks, and, although heavy losses were incurred last year, an assessment of $2 per thousand was ample to pay all claims. Nearly S2S,00o was saveu last year by this means over the old companies. H. s. TODD.

A BUSINESS GRANGE.
Amounting to S3o,ooo
 Year Handled With Satisfaction.

Transactions Amounting to s3o,ooo a
 Year Handled With Satisfaction.
 .. Special Correspondence.l
 The business part of Monroe CN. Y) grange amounts to about S30,oo0 per year. We do business only with the members of the grange. The conner cial secretary will take no orders from nonmembers. We meet each wednes- day evening. When the work of the grange reaches the order of standing committees, the commercial secretary reads all quotations and information received by him during the week for the general information of the mem- bers. Thus the Patrons keep thor oughly posted on prices, and, what is perhaps more important, the commer- cial secretary holds the confidence of the members.
 After the reading of the correspond ence orders are in order and are taken and booked. This is done by the Pa irons remaining in their seats and stating aloud their wants. Goods are ordered as soon as the required quan- tity is booked. Our wants consist mainly of feed stuffs, which we pur- chase in an markets where price and quality suit best. We also buy wire. hardware, groceries, boots and shoes; In fact, we look up anything the Pa irons want if for nothing more than to keep posted on prices. AS soon as the commercial secretary gets an in- voice for car of feed he makes out bills to the Patrons interested in the car and presents them at the next reg ular meeting of the grange. Under the order of bills and accounts the Patrons name is called, and he steps up and~pays his bill. When all have paid, the money is passed to the treas urer, who receipts for the same and deposits 1t in the bank, where it is ready to meet draft when car arrives. No sight drafts are honored. When the car arrives, the treasurer pays the draft and notifies parties having pur- chases (from a list furnished him by the commercial secretary that the car will be unloaded the following day. We have member who delivers the goods to the Patrons as they drive up to the car and keeps a memorandum of the same, which he returns to the commercial secretary. No goods are ever left over. Each transaction closes itself when goods are delivered. Each car is numbered, and all bills belong ing to 1t carry the same number
 The expense of running the business end of the grange is about 25 cents per ton or 1A to 11a per cent on the busi- ness done. We need no storeroom nor extra handling, but use the cars as our shop. We pay one-half of per cent on all purchases to the commercial secre- tary, 10 cents per ton on all sacked goods to the unloader and 21a cents per ton to the treasurer, which is added to the Patrons bills. Our Patrons get ev- erything at the lowest possible price, and yet those who do the work receive pay for their time.

For Better Telephone Service.

So extensive has become the opera tion of the rural telephone that bet ter exchange service Is desired in or. der to make 1t more efficient. A reso- lution was adopted by the New York state grange asking for state law compelling all telephone companies to receive and transmit over their lines messages originating with competing companies. This law is demanded in the interest of farmers Eho have rural telephones and who cannot secure con- nection with competing lines. A som- liar law was asked for by the state grange of Maine four years ago, and 1t was enacted by the legislature of that state and Is in force today. The law has been tested as to its constitution. ality, and the court of appeals has de- cided 1t constitutional.

Killing of weeds is but one of the two chief purposes of filling growing crops. The other is the stirring and loosening of the soil so as to make pos sibie a free circulation of air through it and to prevent a too rapid evapora- tion of the moisture which 1t contains. Although field of corn or other crop may be perfectly clean, one of the most important reasons for cultivation still exists.

It seems to be the universal testimony from localities in the north part of the corn belt that the seed corn saved last fall is not up to the usual standard. In view of this situation the only safe way Is to make careful test of every ear that is to be used for seed. The slipshod indifference that Is quite like ly to constitute the attitude of so many on this most vital question and that will cause them to be content with the good old way of their grandfathers will in all probability reduce the yield of corn on individual farms from ten to thirty bushels to the acre and the total yield the country over by hundreds of millions of bushels.

ALL BIDS TURNED DOWN
CANAL CONSTRUCTION TO BE
3 CONTINUED BY GOVERNMENT
AS HERETOFORE.


Washington, Feb Pit has been
decided not to accept any bids for
building of the Panama canal This
announcement was made following the
meeting Of the cabinet and after the
president had been in conference for
an hour or more with Secretaries Taft
and Root.
It was decided that there should be
no Reimbursement inviting proposals
for constructing the canal under the
plan as first laid down, but there will
be a full consideration Of the whole
subject before determining upon a
change of the present procedure.
In his letter to the chairman of the
canal commission instructing that
body to reject the bids for the con-
struction of the canal the president
states that the purpose of the con.
tract was to secure in the building of
the canal the services Of the best,
most experienced and most skilled
contractors in the country at the
least risk to them and at the least
expense to the government. This pur-
pose failed, he stated, and there was
no longer any object for doing the
work by contract.
