The thought Of them drives dull care
away and keeps US from being old
churls and fossils.
No wise father poses on a pedestal,
but is boy with his boys and pro-
vides them with beautiful pets. The
more pets the less cigarettes.
Bantams are the boys delight. But
these gems are not simply ornamental.
They occupy q little space, eat a little
feed, lay lots of little eggs and furnish
little roast, but they get there just
the same when everything's counted
with any Of the big breeds. The little
twenty-five ounce hens are used for
Matching pheasant and quail eggs.
Breeding bantams Is most interest
ing.
There are active bantam clubs, aud
large number of men are specialist
breeders, as well as ladies and boys.
This Is shown when 500 are entered
ip competition at the Crystal palace
show, England, and Madison Square,
New York, cages over 500 annually at
her big exhibition.
There are those called bantams that
are simply dwarfs of large fowls.
Such are the Black Rose Comb (min-
iature Hamburger, the Games, Co.
chins, Brahmas, Polish, Malays, Silkies
and Frizzles.
But the Sebrights, Booted Whites
and Japs are distinctly original and are
In class by themselves.
There are twenty-five varieties In
American pygmy poultrydom, and the
Sebright In gold and silver Is most
popular. Mr.. John Sebright brought
the first from India 100 years ago.
He succeeded in breeding them into
a marvel of grace, beauty and spright-
illness. Strange to relate, the male and
female are laced exactly alike, and this
lacing In oil sections makes them a
striking exception, and their low wings
and wide spreading tails increase their
beauty. The only difference in Sc
brights Is that between gold and silver.
Otherwise they are Identical. The
Golden Sebright Is more common.
These attractive little birds have
bright red rose combs, face and wat
ties, bay eyes. golden yellow feathers
evenly laced with black, and under
color, shanks and toes; dark slate
breast prominent; tail in both sexes
the same and without sickles.

Unlike diamonds, the smsller the

June and July, and August for regular
breeders.

GRANGE COOPERATION.
A Profitable Business Enterprise at
vineland, NJ. ].

A Profitable Business Enterprise at
vineland, N. j.
Vineland grange Of New Jersey, in
connection with the Farmers Club
and Fruit Growers union, formed an
association about six years ago under
the name Of the Grange Cooperative
society. Nine directors were chosen
as q board Of managers. Persons be-
came members by buying stock at So
per share, but two-thirds Of the mem
bers must be Patrons. In July, 1904,
a grange store was opened, which car
ried a full line of groceries, feed, etc.
The cooperative plan provided for the
payment of 8 per cent on each stock
holders interest in the concern at the
end Of the year; also such percent
age on all goods he had purchased as
his sales would allow after paying the
expenses. All sales must be for cash.
The business amounts now to over
$4,000 year. Last April the store
building was burned. and a new one
Is now being erected. This will con-
tain a grange hall with all modern
improvements. The membership Of
this fiourishing grange is 364. 1t has
become one Of the most popular So
cieties in vineland.

STATE LECTURERS WORK.
Model System In Vogue In Massachu
sets State Grange.

The advantages Of putting grange
work upon a thoroughly systematic
basis, so that exactly what is being
done can be positively known and def
nitely recorded. is shown In Massa-
chusetts, where the state lecturer,
Charles M. Gardner Of Westfield, has
80 systematized the work done during
the lecture hour that at the end Of the
year complete total can be drawn of
exactly as the large business concern
draws off its annual balance sheet for
the inspection Of its stockholders.
This result is made possible by a
carefully prepared report system
whereby every subordinate and Po-
mona lecturer In the state sends to the
state lecturer once in three months a
complete summary Of all lecture hour
work in that grange, how many people
helped do 1t and how many persons
attended the meetings. At the end Of
the year the entire work of each
grange In the state Is summarized and
shown on large chart that is ex-
hibited at the annual state meeting.
BY this system the astounding fact
was brought out Of last years work
that over 10000 persons had contribut-
ed something to the lecture hour pro-
grammes In Massachusetts, and that
the total grange audience Of the year
was 245, 700 persons.
This system affords more than a
mere record Of results. 1t provides the
means of comparison one year with an
other; 1t furnishes every three months
a correct idea Of how each grange Is
getting along, whether holding its own
or not; 1t also gives the local lecturer
added reason for urging his members
to do their best In order that that
grange shall make the best possible
showing on the years chart at the
state meeting. A record is also kept
Of the leading topics discussed during
the year, and this also Is presented to
the state meeting to show along what
lines grange thought Is being especial
ly directed, while the distinct grange
efforts In behalf of town improvement
good citizenship, better schools and
other matters Of civic betterment are
carefully recorded.
Few people realize the power Of the
grange organization or the influence
that it is exerting along such variety
of important lines every year. Such
system as that In vogue in Massa.
chusetts, which puts into actual and
easily understood figures the total
work done in a state during a year,
aids greatly in bringing a realization
Of the magnitude Of the work and In
fluence Of the Order not merely to those
not identified with 1t, but even to itn
own members who do not always ap-
preciate the scope and power Of the
Order Of which they are a part.

THE GRANGE NAME
An Influential Factor in Business
and Legislation.

National Master Baehelder's Warning
to Those Who Would Benefit by the
Grange Name In Enterprises Outside
tho Grange.
In his department in the National
Grange Organ in recent number Ma
tional Master Bachelor remarks that
as the grange is fast becoming an in
fuential factor in social educational
and financial affairs and also in legis-
lative affairs, both state and national,
the fair name Of our organization must
be protected. There Is and will con-
tinue to be, he says, great effort made
by people with wares to sell and leg
islative matters to promote to In some
way use the word grange In the name
adopted to designate their business or
scheme In order to deceive the people
and draw support to the enterprises
by causing them to be known as
grange enterprises. There is absolute
ly no justification for this unless the
grange or some committee appointed
by the grange has absolute authority
In the management.
To be more specific, we may say
that an agricultural fair should not be
known as grange fair unless its man
agement Is In the hands Of the grange
or has been specifically Endorsed by
the grange having jurisdiction. A
store should not be known as grange
store unless conducted by the grange
or giving special rates to members of
the grange through grange authority.
A paper has no real authority for the
use Of the word grange in its title I'M
less it's policy Is directed by the or
ganization, but grange departments In
papers designed for other fields do not
come within this restriction, for they
simply contain grange news and do
not carry any policy or responsibility
of the grange. The use Of the word
grange In the title Of banks without a
controlling interest In such banks be-
ing In the hands Of directors chosen
by the grange, whereby special priv
ileges would be secured to members
of the grange, is an unauthorized and
improper use Of the fair name of the
grange.
Other instances might be cited In
which wrong impressions are convey
ed and the name of the grange placed
in great jeopardy by the use Of its
name. In word, the name Of our or
ganization should be restricted by ac-
ton of the national grange to such
enterprises as ut least have their poll
cies dictated and their affairs directed
by members Of the grange in some Of.
fetal capacity, for any other course In
case Of disaster would bring much
odium upon us, even though we have
no opportunity to prevent such disas'
| ter. We do not undertake to say that
| an agricultural fair, store, paper or
bank using the name grange In its
title should necessarily be financed by
the organization, but we do most en-
| phatically assert that the use Of the
name carries with 1t or should carry
| with 1t the authority to dictate the pol
icy and direct its general management

FEEDING PULLETs.

You will naturally be proud to find
that first egg with splash Of blood,
but that first pullet to make her
debut may not become the best layer.
Some, like precocious chickens, drop
back into mediocrity. If ration is too
stimulating, easily digested or liberal,
the fowl may be pushed to lay before
proper growth has been attained. Thus
its development and future usefulness
may be impaired, just as a young tree
may die or be stunted by bearing a
heavy crop of fruit too early.
Then, also, If food is deficient in
building quality, scanty or indigestible,
we see poor growth.
To avoid the premature, feed meat
sparingly and ground feed once day.
Have the pullets on grass and make
their grain ration of wheat, oats, corn,
peas and barley equal parts and not
too heavy.
Too much corn, buckwheat and bran
retard the growth.
If pullets show tendency to lay
too early, keep moving them around,
for disturbance often retards laying.
But keep them away from the old
stock, for they will be continually bull
lied out of their feed and be sure to
get lousy.
