MANY GO TO SEE THE PLOW

Disc Flows Attract Many Wis

Disc Flows Attract Many Wis
itors to His Farm.
During the past few days large
numbers of people have gone out to
Armenia to see Mr.. r. A. Sublette's
gas engine and disc plows at work in
his fields. They are attracting much
attention because of the peculiar
type and strength of the engine and
excellent work that is being done
in breaking the soil.
The engine pulls nine disc plows,
which cut nine feet wide at a speed
of from two to six miles an hour,
and break from IS to 25 acres of
land day. Following the plows
is a harrow, also pulled by the en-
CINE, which breaks the clods and pull
verizes the dirt, leaving it smooth
and in perfect condition.
Mr.. Sublette has a force of hands
working ahead of the plows and
clearing the fields of stumps.
His methods are an innovation in
this section, which is noted for good
farmers, and his operations are be-
ing watched with great interest.

THE GRANGE AT WORK.
Various Ways In Which 1t May Make

Various Ways In Which It May Make
Itself Useful In a Community.
"Neighbors' nights" are always pop
ular. Then one grange visits another
In body, the visiting grange usually
furnishing the program, the hosts pro-
viding the refreshments.
Literary contests In the grange are
profitable. Two leaders choose sides
and present alternate programs on diff
ferent evenings. Each number scores
certain points previously agreed upon
The side having most points wins.
The losers furnish supper.
Contests for membership are often
successful, but need to be managed
with great care lest undesirable can
didates be proposed for membership.
A debate is always a profitable meth
cd Of literary entertainment. The
grange must take the place Of the old
time debating society In the rural dis
tricts.
Years ago the farmers club was the
only means afforded farmers for a So
rial and literary evening. The grange
has largely superseded II. Where the
two exist In the same community they
can work tremendously by exchanging
visits and programs.
Grange memorial day is not observ-
ed as generally I'm subordinate oranges
as 1t should be. One evening each
year should be devoted to memorial
exercises for those members who have
died within a twelvemOnth. This is al
ways an impressive hour in the state
and national grange meetings.
Grange farmers should make use Of
the numerous farmers bulletins that
are issued by the agricultural expert
ment stations and colleges. They con-
tain much valuable matter.
Down in Maine there is a grange
that is making, itself felt in the COM
munity. 1t is not the only one, how
ever. This grange has placed manual
training benches in one school and has
library of 40 volumes for public
use. The ladies of the grange give in.
structions in homemaking to the girls
of the community.
A worthy object for any grange to
work for is to own it's own hall. If it
builds 1t rather than buys it, all the
more satisfaction will result Caribou
grange in Maine is said to have the
costliest grange hall in the country.
1t Is fully equipped and cost $1,000.
