Dancing at Grange Meetings.

A New York paper has recently
called attention to that which it be
lieved TO be a fact and which was not
namely, that State Master Stetson Of
Maine had issued a ban against dane
ing in grange halls, which seemed to
forbid dancing at any and all times
whether preceding, during or after the
session of the grange and, indeed, on
every other evening in the week. Mr..
Stetsons attention being called to the
statement in the paper, he denied he had
promulgated any such order He said
he was following the rulings of his
predecessors, which allowed no dancing
during the grange session. Mr.. Stet-
son says that he does not own the
grange halls, and he does not claim the
right TO say what they shall be used
for the other five nights in the week.

rs the grange benefit to farmers
who are not members of the Order?"
The grange is an organization whose
chief aim is to work for the improve
ment of conditions which will benefit
its members and in so doing must be
a benefit to those outside of the Order.
1t is a benefit financially from the fact
that the grange as body is able to
purchase various articles at cheaper
rates, and this naturally creates COM
petition in prices which benefits others.
The discussions on the various topics
in which farmers are interested which
are brought up in the meetings help to
enlighten and educate us, and in that
as In all other lines of education the
better informed we are the better able
are we to help those with whom we
come in contact, so in our intercourse
with others they would reap some Of
the benefits thus derived.
When the grange brings its influence
to bear upon the making or defeating
of a law or laws which would benefit
its members it cannot be otherwise
than a benefit to farmers outside of the
Order. AS every one needs some rec
reation and entertainment, so the
grange is a benefit to. outsiders social
ly by furnishing some entertainments
to which they are made welcome. The
g \
all nations have an influence for good
or i'll upon those with whom they min
gle. So it must be with all organiza
tions. They cannot be so exclusive
that their influence will not reach be-
yond their own members, and with
that fact ever before US the grange
should try to maintain high standard
of usefulness in the community where
it exists. MRS. E. 7. COLLINS.

A Committee Visits Washington to Sc
cure Change In the Oieo Laws.
In accordance with the instructions
from the last state grange a commit
tee consisting of State Master Hill,
State Lecturer Dorset and others went
to Washington last month for the pur-
pose of laying before the members of
congress and department officials the
desires of the Pennsylvania state
grange with reference to legislation
for better protection of the dairy in
terests. The department of agricul-
ture of Pennsylvania was also repre-
scented by a committee. They had a
spirited and interesting hearing for an
hour and half before the house COM
mittee on agriculture, after which they
waited on Senators Knox and Penrose,
both of whom assured the committee
of their willingness and desire to do
what they could to protect the interests
of legitimate dairying. Later they call
ed upon Secretary of Agriculture VIII
son, Secretary of Treasury Cortelyou,
Commissioner of Internal Revenue
Capers and DR.. Wiley, chief chemist
From these gentlemen they secured
much valuable information. One of the
members of the committee exhibited to
the internal revenue officials number
of samples of butter as yellow as June
butter, but which had paid but one
fourth of cent taxes. These officials
alluded to the difficulties they expe-
rience in collecting the proper amount
of taxes and in suppressing violations
Of the law. The fact was unearthed
that the government does not have rev.
enue collectors stationed at the licensed
cleo manufactures. This matter was
also brought to the attention of the
congressman, and it is not improbable
that congress will take steps to rene
dy this defect in the laws.

CELERY CULTURE.
The Right Handling For Seedlings.
Water Supply.
By W. I'd BEATTII

Water Supply.
By W. r. BEATTIE.
The ideal climatic conditions for the
production OF celery are bright sun
shine, pure air, cool nights and a well
distributed rainfall of about eight
inches during the growing period in
the field or garden.
In case the grower adopts the plan
of transplanting twice the seedlings
will be ready for the first handling in
from four to six weeks from the time
the seed is sown. The seedlings may
be transplanted to trays or to beds in
the open ground. This transplanting
answers two purposes: First, the
seeding plant of celery has straight
root. or taproot, which is broken in
transplanting, causing large mass of
fibrous roots to be formed In the case
of plant allowed to remain in the
seed bed until planting out time this
taproot has gone far down into the
soil and the plant has formed very
few side roots Consequently it suf-
fers a great shock in the process of
planting in the field, and large num-
Der of plants will need to be replaced.
Second, when transplanting twice is
practiced there is no necessity for thin
ming, and a more uniform lot of plants
is obtained Two landings cannot be
recommended when celery is grown on
a large scale, as the cost of labor is too
great 1t is better to have surplus
of plants and to renew those that fail
The Growing Crop.
No definite rules can be given for the
application of water to a growing crop
of celery, as the requirements vary
with the character of the soil, atmos-
pheric conditions and temperature.
The cost of application should deter
mine largely the extent to which water
should be used, and as rule it is not
profitable to give more than three wa
terings during the growing season in
addition to the one given at the time
the plants are set in the field. When
celery is to be grown on large scale
it viii be desirable, where a natural
water supply cannot be brought into
service, to provide pumping machinery
and to give the soil two or three good
soakings during the season, especially
in the absence Of heavy rains. Celery
requires the most water while making
it's greatest growth, which occurs late
in the summer. AS the crop approaches
maturity the water should be applied
sparingly, and it should be withheld
altogether for some time before blanch-
ing.

CERTIFIED MILK.
Methods Used by the Dairymen In
PRODUCING IT.

In describing the methods used in
the production of what is termed sscer-
tilted milk" Clarence b. Lane, assist
ant chief of the dairy division of the
bureau of animal industry, says:
1t is the general practice in certified
diaries to remove the manure at least
twice daily to the field or to suitable
pit some distance from the stable. In
the most carefully managed dairies the
whole interior of the stable Is washed
and scrubbed daily with water con-
tanning washing compound Some
use a disinfectant in the water once
or twice week, as bichloride of mer-
curry, carbolic acid or permanganate
of potash. Bicholride of mercury is
probably the most expensive of any of
the disinfectants Aside from this fact,
it is one of the most satisfactory be-
cause it gives off no odor Where the
interior of the stable is built of wood
it is whitewashed from two to twelve
times annually or kept well painted.
Land plaster is the most common dis
infectant for floors and cutters. Slaked
lime is also satisfactory for this pur-
pose. Shayings are most in favor for
bedding.
The cows are cleaned daily with
currycomb and brush. The udder and
parts in proximity to it are either
washed and wiped with clean towel
or are wiped with damp cloth or
sponge. In many cases the udder,
TANKS, etc, are clipped periodically.
Occasionally a dairyman sprays sta
bles and cows Immediately before milk
ing. It is a common practice to fas-
ten up the cows after they have been
cleaned in such way that they can

Political Discussion.

1t is mistaken idea of some that
it is improper to discuss political mat
tiers in a grange meeting. Nothing
could be more Inconsistent. On the
other hand, it is our duty to take up
any and all questions that concern our
welfare, not as partisans, but In a
fair, candid and intelligent manner,
and thus arrive at conclusions that

ture and for the greatest good to the
greatest number. w. H. Vary.

MIXED After each COW is MIXED the
milk is passed over the cooler and into
the hand bottling receptacle in the
bottling room One man bottles the
milk without assistance and is able to
fill and cap 200 to 800 bottles an hour
and place them in the storeroom.
In a few diaries the milking is not
being taken to milking room entirely
separated from the rest of the barn.
This room is well lighted, and every
precaution is taken to make it abso-
lutely sanitary. Other dairymen claim
that just as good results can be Sc
cured by milking in the regular stable
If proper precautions are taken.
Some producers Of certified milk use
nothing for sealing the bottles but or
binary pulp caps stamped with the
name of the commission and the date.
Others use various coverings in addi-
ton to the ordinary cap. The milk
pals used in certified milk plants pre-
sent great variety of styles. General
~ speaking, they have small OPEN
ing. Some are provided with strain
er, through which the milk passes in
entering the pail. This consists in
some instances of several thicknesses
of cheesecloth, in others of both cheese
cloth and absorbent cotton, and in still
others of metal wire.

Second Crops.
By the middle of June some Hubbard
squash seeds can be put into potato
hills, one seed in a hill in every other
row, and a crop raised without bugs
or much trouble, suggests a writer in
an exchange When early peas have
matured, the vines can be pulled and
the ground worked up and sown to
rutabagas. Turnips can be put in after
the early potatoes are dug.
Effect of Legames.
The effect of legumes upon succeed
ing crops of any kind is beneficial be
cause of the fact that the soil is en-
riched rather than impoverished by
these plants.
The Busy Grow.
To prevent crows from pulling corn
scatter few quarts of corn in the field
and keep them busy where they are
most troublesome until danger to the
crop is pasta simple and not expen-
sive remedy. says farmer.
Sowing Rape.
Ground for rape is plowed, narrowed
and prepared as for crop of corn.
Rape may also be sown in the corn at
the last cultivation. AS a summer feed
for sheep it is said to be excellent, but
when too freely used is sure to cause
bloating. 1t is advisable to feed grass
and rape. The early crop of rape will
be ready for summer use. A late crop
may be sown In July for grazing.

For three years and nine months to date, not a single copy of the paper has ben printed that did not contain the firms regular ad. and from time to time a larger one when something spe- cial was doing. The firm was one of the first to take out an advertising con4 tract with the present management of this department and the fact that the ad. has never been allowed to lapse a single day is good evidence that it pays. Not only is this a,good indica tion that advertising is a good thing but the firm has prospered which is still better sign. It can not be claim ed, however, that the business built up by Hyder Bros. is entirely due to this paper for no doubt the quality of goods carried and the generally satis factory method employed in dealing with customers has had a great deal to do with it. A glance at the goods ad- vertised in this mornings ad. is evil dence that only the best grades are handled and that just as good goods can be bought here in Tempe for just as little money as in Phoenix.
 The J. J. Hodnett store also devotes a good bit of space this morning to tell ing about a money raising sale, just to liven up business a little during the hot weather. Special inducements are offered to customers and it is worth anyones time to look over the bar gains offered.

There are generally two sides to any question and it to a good rule to fol- low that both sides be given.

Certain residents of that dis trict claim that the birds do immense damage to crops and that the killing of them in great numbers is a benefit to the farmer instead of a detriment. The hunters are encouraged to kill all they can.
