COOPERATION IN MAINE.
Grange Does a Business Of $4,000 .
Year and Owns Its Gristmill

Grange Does Business of $136,oo0 .
Year and Owns Its Gristmill.
We learn through the Maine Farmer
the following particulars relative to CO.
operation in Houlton grange and why
cooperation is successful The writer
says:
1.-THE first important thing is to Sc
lect the right man to conduct the busi-
ness-a man who is honest, efficient
and who has a good business tact.
The next thing Is to have the Patrons
loyal to the grange store, and if some
goods should be bought when they
were high in price and then before
they were sold should fall in price and
the store in the city that bought on the
low market could undersell the grange
the Patrons would need to buy of the
grange store even If they did pay a
little more on these goods.
"Our plan is to put per cent above
the total cost All goods, excepting
-four. sugar and grass seed. are sold at
per cent above cost; grass seed 2
per cent, which pays for the extra help
to handle it just for short time in
the spring. Flour and sugar we ham
die at cost, with no per cent added.
"When we commenced business we
had only $136 as capital and did $10,-
600 business on that amount. Last
year we did a business of $136000 and
added to our capital over $4,000. We
have a good gristmill run by electricity.
"Our store and Insurance company
is a great saving to the farmers Of
the county There are now quite a
number of grange stores in the county.
Patten grange is about ready to start
one They will issue grange notes at
6 per cent interest. and they will be
taken by the members of the grange"

MOTHER FoX'S CUNNING.
Her Intellectual Plans to Divert Hunt

Her Intellectual Plans to Divert Hunt
er's Attention From Her Den.
Hunters found a den of foxes in the
hills south CT Ha2erstown and unearth'
ed five little ones about as large as
we'll crown cats. The mother fox es.
capped before the hunters reached the
den. which was lined thickly with
soft grasses and feathers. Instead of
running away she kept within sight
while the hunters worked with their
Shovcls.
She apparently understood what
they were doing, for she endeavored
by every means to attract them away
from their work and toward herself.
She approached quite lear and acted
as if lame and distressed. She would
lie down on her side and writhe along
the ground, uttering whines and
means. Then she would limp off as If
very lame, going very slowly and halt.
ing frequently.
The hunters were not to be drawn
away from the work in hand by such
tactics, and finally, after much digging,
came upon the den where the Ave
pretty little fellows were shrinking.
They made no resistance, and seemed
rather to like the handling and petting
they received. All of them were taken
to a farmhouse, where they were con-
fined. They will not be released, but
will probably be painlessly despatched.
Grown foxes do not make good neigh
bors in farming communities. Hunters
say it is very rare for mother foxes
to leave all their young in one place.
1t is their cunning habit to scatter
the family, one and two in widely
separated retreats. 1t is said too that
foxes will not rob rocsts close to their
dens, but will go miles away for food
and carefully hide their trail.

though the ONE will bear down on
Washington, they will break up into
companies and each will select the vic

Clarence Mackay and Mrs. Kitty Reed
Ballington will have charge of the
campaign and each section will have
a field to work.
The members OF congress are quite
gloomy over it, for a siege organized
by such a keen-sighted woman as Mrs.
Carrie Chapman Gait and the disfran-

1874, when he graduated from the
high school, he delivered

THE reputation of the water OF the

content to believe that in a no,
and thirsty land like northern India
such a magnificent river as the Gauges

science was coming to the aid of an
