GRANaE BANK. TROY. Pa.

legged interview in New York to amount
to 1,200 per cent" the officials re-
pudiated the statement as absurd and
made. They added that what had been
stated was that the small banks of $685.
600 capital had been successful in accu-
mulating on the average a surplus of
20 per cent during the. eight years since
their first organization and that this
fact had been referred to by Treasurer
Treat and other officers of the depart
ment in a statistical way for the pur-
pose of illustrating the stability and
success Of the smaller banks under the
national banking system. It is stated
that most of the national grange
banks are in the $4,000 class.
Pennsylvania is the only state where
national banks have been organized.
Late in June convention of the
Grange Bank Associations of America
was held at Troy, Pa, with nearly 200
persons in attendance, representing
fourteen national grange banks. 1t
was decided to establish a central in
stitutiOn at Philadelphia with capt.
tai stock Of $500, 600 for the purpose of
fostering and encouraging the organi-
zation of small national banks among
the farmers.
a number of interesting addresses
were made by prominent people, in
cluding several congressman. Hon.
Charles H. Treat, United States
treasurer, was unable to attend be-
cause of illness, but sent an address,
which was read. The grange at Troy
served an elaborate banquet to the
visitors in the grange hall, which Is
over the banking room there. The
banks in Pennsylvania represent al
most $1,000,000 in capital stock and
have $3,000,00O on deposit Resolu-
tions were adopted praising the work
Of w. f. Hill, master Of the state
grange, and John G. McHenry, grange
superintendent of banking, for their
great work in organizing the different
banks.

PREVENTION AND CURE.

We once visited poultryman who
pointed witt pride to great accumula-
ton Of bottles, patent poultry nostrums
and prescriptions and exclaimed. "1,his
is my medicine chest!
But with all this his poultry were
always ailing. He may have been
long on poultry physic. but was very
short on prevention.
The man who is proficient in physic
and prevention need not make a drug
store of his birds. It's much easier
and more profitable to lead your fowls
safely round the precipices Of disease
than to get them back after they've
gone over. And how easy to keep them
well generally when the causes of
disease are so well known. Here they
are in brief:
Filth. improper feeding, croWding,
yerlnin, dampness, drafts, extremes of
heat and cold. exposure and egg tonics.
There may seem accidental causes
where diseases are introduced by
strange birds. originate in heredity or
from floating germs.
But every stranger should be quaran-
tined. Only strong stock should be bred
from. and birds in health and sanitary
environment offer little encouragement
to germs seeking lodgment.
Yes. my friend, you are wise to be
prepared for war
You should accumulate a library of
good medical works, acquire a knowl-
edge of the symptoms of every known
fowl disease, and you should by your
study, observation and experiment be
able to detect the first symptoms of
disease and make correct diagnosis
and have the remedy right there to
cure or the wisdom to see the incurable
and to end it with the AK
But what does it amount to if you.
Mr. Chicken Doctor, have not learned
the old lesson that IAN ounce of pre-
vention is worth a pound Of cure?v a
physician depends for his living on doe
toring people who are sick. but has
nothing to do with their getting sick.
A poultryman depends for a living on
keeping his fowls well and has every
thing to do with their being in health
or sickness.
If through ignorance of the require
ments his birds are afflicted and he
meets with loss he is to be greatly
pitied. but if he sins against knowledge
he deserves no sympathy and only con
lemnation

GRANGE BANKS.
National Grange Bank Is Same as An.
Other National Bank.

National Grange Bank Is Same as Any
Other National Bank.
On account of the criticism on the
part of some who are not familiar
with the organization of grange banks,
an official of the treasury department
has made a statement with reference to
the features OF the institution referred
to. He says there are several national
banks which have assumed the word
grange as a part of their titles, des-
ignating themselves as First National
Grange bank of such and such a
place, etc. Other national banks
have been organized by members of
national oranges for the special pur-
pose of meeting the needs of members
of such oranges and of getting their
business. All these banks are organ
lied after precisely the same plan as
other national banks, are examined in
the same way and are in no way diff
ferent from them or recipients of ex-
ceptional treatment of any kind what
ever.
Referring to the alleged large prof
it's made by these banks, said in an al

1t seems fair to assume that the rea-
son why more localities do not inn
prove their highways with the occa7
sional use Of the King road drag or an
implement built on similar principle
is that the claims made for the sys-
TEN of road improvement seem to be
SO extravagant as to be outside the
range of possibility, and yet there is no
use denying the claims which have
been so often made and just as often
demonstrated and proved. There are
three things at least which the use OF
a King road drag does for road, tend
ing to make 1t a firm and solid thor
oughfare. First, it gives the road a
convex instead of fat or concave
surface. which causes rain which falls
on the road to flow rapidly to the
bitches and cutters at the side Again,
it scrapes off and pulverizes the Jumps
and at the same time fills up the wag-
on ruts and chuck holes. One treat
ment does not do all of the good work,
but does put the road in shape 50
that subsequent traffic and draggings
will give it hard and smooth surface
from which the water runs readily.
enabling it to dry quickly before there
is time for it to be cut up by traffic.
The better the condition of the road
becomes the less is it subject to the
influences which cut up and mar the
average fat road, and this is one Of
the rewards that comes from the care
which is given the road in the early
stages We have seen roads treated
with the King drag in a wet spell of
weather which were almost as smooth
and firm as pavement, while stretches
of road at either end Of the treated
section were unspeakably rough and
muddy, the only thing to account for
the difference in condition of the two
roads being the occasional treatment
of the one with the road drag. In view
of the enormous sums of money that
are paid out annually by raisers OF
different kinds of farm produce for the
hauling Of their stuff to market over
bad roads the improvement Of the
highway with the King road drag i
entitled to more consideration than Il
is receiving in most sections Of The
country.
