The Grange.

The members Of the Grange and theil
families we're to meet at Grange Hall,
Monday, December 9th, to enjoy q
Christmas treat, but the blizzard made a
change of plans necessary. The next
fair day was then in order, and although
many fair days followed, the people
were still snowbound, owing to their in
ability to find the party whose duty it
was to open the roads and keep them in
travelling condition particularly was this
true in regard to the State road. How
nice it will be when the flying machine
overland route is established. In the
meantime let us hope there will not be
another eight days allowed to pass with
out an effort being made to open a main
thOroughiare, even if the snow be several
feet on the level.
New Years Day dawned bright and
beautiful and the grangers to the number
of about seventy, gathered at the Hall, to
enjoy a Christmas irolic and a Happy
New Year together. The room looked
bright aud CHEEKY with its trimmings of
holly and Christmas trees.
A good luncheon was served about
noon, and ali we're ready to partake there
of,as many had driven some miles through
highways and by-ways to get there, and
naturally had good appetites.
After the clearing away Of the tables,
the chairman, Miss Ida Rosa, took charge.
The following program was rendered

Calhoun recitations by Masters Austin
and Guy Lemex, also by Miss Watkins
and Miss POstles reading by Miss Cal.
houn piano solo by Miss Phillips; song

Miss Y Vibbert.
Santa Claus was then announced, this
caused a stir of delight among the little
ones ; in he came, loaded with rosy.cheek-
ed apples and popcorn balls for the child
ren, their eyes fairly sparkling with plea
sure at the sight of St. Nicholas, in his
fur overcoat, which probably came from
toward that North Pole that has been so
recently located
A fishing pond was prepared and all I
present we're invited to try their hand at
fishing. Each one drew a present and
opened it for the enjoyment of the Others,
some causing great merriment, as jokes
were in order.
Remarks like these were heard from
home going gmenbers-Say, we had good
time, didn't we?
The installation of officers will take
place Saturday, January Sth, at 2.SO p.
N. Mr.. Bancroft of Fruitland Grange
will be present. The "Soper Good Roads

Better breeding Each Time.


No line of breeding requires more
thought and study than horse breed
Ing. This is why so many fail in pro-
'ducing the highest types. One of the
essentials Is knowing the type of sire
to breed the mare to. Many farmers
will breed light mare to a heavy
horse or the very opposite, and the re.
suit lie nothing tangible in the way of
Improvement. Every farmer should
know what kind of an animal he has
and be able to select a sire to breed
her to that will give an improved off.
spring. With a proper selection made
here the remainder will be easy.
1t Is well to note at the outset that
no horse Is absolutely perfect. Every
animal has some defect, be II large
or small. The defects in the mare
should therefore be carefully noted
and the sire selected should be espe.
cially strong In the weak points the
mare may have. 1t should be hardly
necessary to mention that It is never
a good plan to cross breeds. To make
success Of the business the horse
breeder must select one breed and
stick to 1t.

Hogs for Turning Over Money.

The hog commends itself to the gen.
eral farmer on account of Its prolific
qualities. A SOW will produce two lit
tiers Of six to a dozen each per year
and the farmer can turn his money
over several times with hogs while he
is waiting for other animals to ma
ture.
Hogs require little more care at
times than other some animals, but
the man who likes to work with them
and is wiling to study their needs and
give them regular care will find them
most profitable adjunct to the farm.
They can be turned into money or
food as the owner chooses.

The Milking Shed.

A plan that has been proven success
ful, not only in the improvement OF
'he milk, but In the saving Of the
manure, is to have a separate barn or
shed to do the milking in. This can
De a comparatively cheap structure,
Is 1t would be intended to keep the
COWS In 1t only during the process of
milking.
Inc barn, however, should be con-
'tructed in substantial and sanitary
way. After the COWS are MIXED they
IRE turned into a roomy shed or barn,
where they remain loose and can eat
forage or lie down at will. There
are In this shed racks and troughs
Tor feeding hay and ensilage in.
In the milking shed the cows are
fastened by means of rigid stanchions,
and the feed managers, where the con-
eentrates are fed, are built high
enough to prevent the COW from ly-
ing down, thus she remains clean
until the milking is done.
Inc noors should be OF concrete,
and there should be a gutter behind
the COWS. These stables should be
thoroughly cleaned ont each day. and,
II possible, washed occasionally, so
that there viii be as few flies as pos
Iible and no offensive odors. There
should be no hay or feed stored in
this barn and 1t should be well venti-
lated, so that the air will be pure and
Tree from dust.
This is about the most practical way
10 keep cows clean. The feeding shed.
which could and really should be the
lower floor of the main feed barn,
should be well ventilated and bedded,
for in there the cows are allowed to
run at large and the manure is allowed
to accumulate, being covered UP each
day with new bedding. This plan
saves absolutely all of the manure
with the least amount of handling, It
being hauled directly to the land in
the spring.-Southern Agriculturist.
