movement inaugurated by Northern
Light grange, p. of H., of Winterport, and
which has been taken up quite generally
by oranges throughout the State, has for
its object an improvement in the present
plan of caring for the poor. The plan is
set forth in the following letter to sister
oranges sent out By Northern Light
grange:
Whereas, We. the members of Northern
Light grange, No. 6. p. of H., winterport,
State OF Maine, believing that the present
town system of caring for the poor and de-
pendents is inadequate TO their needs. In
humane AID expensive; and
Whereas, Said system requires farms in
each town and care-takers for same. we be-
lieve that all towns in each county can be
consolidated into one central home, under
one superi ntendent, with better care to the
inmates and with less expense TO the tax
payers; therefore be it
Resolved, That q movement be started
through the grange to bring about the fol-
lowing reforms;
Resolve that each county In the state shall
provide q suitable home for the poor of said
county, such homes to consist of suitable
dwellings, hospital. chapel. ETC., as may be
necessary for their comfort and needs; also
provide superintendents. matrons, physi-
clans, nurses, etc.
All towns now owning town farms can dis
pose of same, and the money now raised each
year by the individual towns can be used to
maintain the county home.
Resolve that every grange appoint dele
gate to bring this subject before their next
town meeting for consideration.
Resolve that we have these resolutions
printed. and a copy sent to every subordinate
and Pomona grange in the State.

On limp rivers banks,

And the fragrant fumes Of an incense sweet
Then arose from the soft. messy shrine.
These violets fair. all refreshed by dew,
Had fulluess Of peace SO Aivine.
SO our hearts leap mp With joyful bound,
AS DER Geld and woodland we roam.
And see Gods smile on the face Of the earth

Is the fragrant violet.

many have done and think that you
can produce better steers by breeding
together two breeds than prre-bred
steers Of either one. Just remember
whenever you breed together two dis
tinct breeds you are producing grades
OF both breeds and going down hill.
Again, when you breed together two
distinct breeds you are much more
apt to confine the poor qualities of
both breeds In the offspring. AS an
example. and one that is commonly
practiced. II you breed a Holstein COW.
which produces large quantity of
milk but poor in butter fat, to a Jer-
sey bull, a breed which produces a
| small quantity OF milk and rich in but
ter fat, you are very likely and most
apt to produce heifer that will pro-
duce a small amount of milk. the char
acter Inherited from the sire, and that
little poor in butter fat, the character
from the dam The reverse is your
desire. but you may be disappointed.
Knowing these things, and also be-
ing able to buy the pure-breds of any
breed We many fancy. let us act
wisely in the matter and purchase our
| foundation stock of pure breeding.
Surely, If we wanted plow we would
not go to the store or factory and buy
Syracuse beam. an Oliver chill mold
board, South Bend landslide and a

back porch, take a clawhammer and
a monkey-wrench to make a plow of
these parts. Well, 1t is Just as abb
