TRUMBULL
Grange Held Most Inspiring Session :
 Newsy Jottings.

The last regular meeting of Trumb bull Grange was one of the best ever held | and a means of great inspiration to all who attended. The work of the fourth degree was most beaut: t:fully done by degree team from Easton Grange, No. 149, assisted by an orches- | tra of eight pieces and piano. The floor work showed the careful and untiring | training, without which, no team cou.d attain such perfection. After the con ferring of the degree a fine program in charge of the lecturer of the local Grange, Mrs. D. H. Rogers. was pre- Sented which consisted of the follow

NEW SERIES OF FARM
 CATALOGUES BY A
HTnSTT.LNG

HUSTLING CONCERN.
 The remarkable increase in demand for farm land and farm homes during the past few years has led to many marked changes in the methods em- ployed by brokers, who handle agricuI- tural land exclusively, to serve their customers. Several Farm Agencies issue elaborate yearly catalogues of farming land for sale in various sec- tions of the country, many of them gotten up at considerable expense and in the most artistic form; but all of these pale into inSignificance in light of the latest innovation. This is a series of twelve catalogues a year one of which is published every month in the year by the E. A. Strout Com pany. with headquarters in New York, Boston and Philadelphia, and Branch Offices throughout the Eastern states. The March issue, the first of the series, has just been put in circulation. It bears the title "Strout's Monthly Bull letin of Farm Bargains,'' and is in two editions, one for the New England states, and the other for those states to the south and west. The monthly is an illustrated booklet of the usual size. Succeeding issues will appear on the first of every month.
