Patronx to Stand and Work Together. Special Correspondence. Having recently returned from i three months' lecturing tour and study of the conditions and necessities of tti order In the slates of Washington, Ore gon and California, I determined to carefully study the trend of though' and work of the order In the several states of the Union and carefully note the conditions confronting the farmer'f occupation In the various sections o! c.!r country with a view If possible o' ttuviiuciug the Interests of the order tc give greatest benefit to our membership In every section of our beloved country, so vast In Its territorial extent ami so varied In climatic and local conditions. Farmers who are engaged In a par ticular line or specialty sometimes feel they are not so much Interested In the condition of farmers In remote sections of the country who are engaged In en tirely different lines of agrlcslture and therefore do not need to actively co operate with them In securing Just recognition of their respective rights In business and legislation. It occurred to me that it was the duty of our great order to study the trend of thought and direct the mlndp of the American farmers along line? tl u will reach the conclusion that fanners of necessity must stand to gether and see to It that all branches or subdivisions of our great Industry must stand together, work together, prosper together or suffer together for such failure. The duties and responsibilities resting upon our order and the part necessarily taken by the officers thereof more and more Impress me with the duty and responsibility on them. Some of our members may sometimes forget the more serious and responsible dutlei of the officers of the grange and vley the work of the lecturer as one of great personal plensure to himself. Any one who goes out to lecture In the interest of our great Order of Patrons of litis bandry should no doubt make himself as ngi'ooablo and pleasant to the mem bers and all others as possible, but he should never forget that he stands as the representative of the great princi ples of our order, the observance of which leads to broader and better citi zenship, to more protltnble agriculture and to the advancement of the general prosperity of a great nation. Our first meeting in Oregon, held In the city of Portland, partook more of a national and Interstate council of mem bers of the Order of Patrons of Hus bandry, state and city officials and cltl- zens und agricultural colleges and the public school interests of the great states of Washington nnd Oregon. The influence of this one meeting was fell in every portion of thoso states nnd at tracted the attention of all the people to the work of the Order of Patrons of Husbandry, and I do not think it over Stales the matter when I say that the national character and great work nc cni'd!slied and to he accomplished by our order were understood and uppreci- nted by nil the people of the Paeill coast belter than over before. As n re-1 suit of this one meeting n better feelln;; will obtain there between residents of city nnd country, the standard of coun try schools will be raised, n large in crease of members to our order secured, nnd tho farmer will have n higher ap preciation of his ending and bis impor tance in the Industrial activities and i't state and national prosperity.

Tho Pomona grange of Center county, Pa., owns the beautiful fair grounds In that county, with all the buildings nnd other fixtures, including several hun dred tents which are occupied, by Pa trons and their families during the week's outing. The large and beautiful brick hall of Progress grango stauds near the grounds and is a model in all its arrangements. Its cost was several i:.r.;;snnds of dollars.

The mem bers have purchased fertilizer material to the sum of $1!3,322.G!), potatoes for seed ?r.000.04, grass seed $910, trucK and machinery $."73 and selling In mer chandise $,'3,508.10. The grange owns n commodious three story brick huildiiii; on the main street, centrally located. The basement is fitted up with range and every convenience and comfort. A dumb waiter passes from the kitchen to the grange room on the upper floor A speaking tube takes the "word" fro.,, the anteroom upward to the Inner gate. A ThojlRlit. The grange, like a political party, cannot live always on Its past. Then must be "something doln' " all the whlV Jn the living present. Seed must be sown now for future harvests or there will be ione. The grange has an elo quent pnst, but it Is only at the thresh old of its career of usefulness. Copake (N. T.) grange is Just a year old, but has about 150 members, who have built a fine new two story bulht ing In the p?nntlme. ' Where the Ilonrgrlasa In lined. Among things nut generally known Is the fact that the hourglass is uni versally used on board ships in the English navy when the log Is heaved nt night. Every hour the boatswain or one of the boatswain's mates blows on his whistle a peculiar shrill note called the reel. The person In the watch to whom this duty is assigned then heaves the log, a small piece of wood with a sink er fitted in it, and at that moment the glass is turned. Though termed an hourglass generally, It is only a four teen second gla.-ts really. As the last grain runs out the log line Is stopped with n Jerk, which also loosens the lead sinker. The log floats up to the surface of the sea, the line Js hauled In and nn entry made In the book, which, from its containing this among other items of the daily and nightly events of the voyage, is called the log book. London Country Eife. A Troublesome Ant. In the state of Colombia there is a largo ant (Atta cenhnlotes) which causes a great deal of Injury to plan tations. It nttneks and corrles off In discriminately all kinds of foliage, and no sort of vegetation seems to come nmlss to it. The quantity of foliage carried off by these nnts Is Immense. A naturalist recently investigated the uses to which the nnts put this mass of vegetable matter, and ho ascertain ed that they employ it to make hot beds, upon which their eggs nre depos ited to be hatched by the heat produced by the fermentation of the leaves. Tho tints do not eat these portions for food, nnd the larva? are fed upon a carefully selected diet. Once the brood is hatch ed, the ants clear away the hotbed, car rying out of their nest all the decora posed vegetable matter. This is thrown out In heaps apart, nnd in the lnrge ant hills these heaps will contain bushels and upward. Baytnnr a Daughter, A lady in costly mourning attire was walking in a street in Vienna the other day when she saw a beggar woman with three children, one of them it girl of two, sitting at the foot of a monu ment. She sent a street porter to ask if she would give up the girl. Tho wo man nodded, whereupon the lady in black walked up to her, gave her some bank notes nnd took tho child to a store. Half an hour later she emerged With the same child elegantly dressed, balled a cab and drove away.

H.Thurnes, Mgr. Wills Creek Coal Co., Buffalo, O., writes! "I have been afflicted with kidney and bladder trouble for years, pass Ing gravel or stones with excruciating pains. Other medicines only gave relief. After taking FOLEY'S KIDNEY CURE the result was surprising. A few doses started the brick dust, like fine stones, etc., and now I have no pain across my kidneys and I feel like a new man. FOLEY'S KIDNEY CURE has done me $1,000 worth of good." No Other Remedy Can Compare With It Thos. W. Carter, of Ashboro, N. C, had Kidney Trouble and one bottle of FOLEY'S KIDNEY CURE effected a perfect cure, and he says there is no remedy that will compare with it. Oregon City, Oregon. STATE GRANGE MEETINGS. Prepare Now to Make Them Interest ing and Profitable. The state grange sessions will be held soon. If subordinate or romomi granges have any resolutions to pre- sent to the state grange prepare them carefully and instruct your delegates as to your wishes thereon. There are only a few days of the state grange, and business Is pressing. There Is no time then to get a lot of undigested matter in shape. Upon questions of Importance let there be careful atten tion given by delegates that they may be able to vote Intelligently and to take part in the discussions of measures, If wise or necessary. The questions of sufficient importance to engage the time of the state grange are, or should be, known in every grange and a care ful study of the matter made that the delegate may be wisely instructed. Occasionally a delegate goes to bio state grange thoroughly unprepared to vote intelligently. He looks about help lessly to see bow others are voting. Terchance some one has spoken force fully to another question and thereby won the admiration of our uninformed friend. No matter whether be Is right , on tnis question or not or whether or not he is thoroughly informed, the lgno rant voter votes as he does. Fortunate ly such cases are rare. The resolutions of the state grange reflect the sentiment of the best elas of farmers, and public men and econo mists look to them as the key to public opinion. They compare the resolution year by year and are quick to detect any change. Let all the resolutions for carefully worded and worthy of n grea and powerful body of men and women who speak for the millions of farmers, whether organized or unorganized. Farm and Fireside. Nature Stndy In Pnullo Selionli. The grange everywhere Is interested in the advancement of the public schools. The latest evidence of It Is in the state of Oregon. The Oregon state grange has heartily indorsed the intro duction of nature study in country schools. Last year n teacher in one of the public schools of a Portland suburb led her scholars In excursions to the woods and fields near by to Rtudy plants nnd insects there. This Is the first time such a method of nature study has been taken up in this state, nnd so interesting and successful wi it that many of the country schools will take it up this fall. Grange Fnlra. It is notable how many grange agri cultural fairs there have been held Use past autumn as well as indoor agricul tural and horticultural exhibitions. This is a good sign. It means that the grange Is doing something and Is beln j more nnJ more hclpfu, t0 a farmers whether members of the order or not. There is also In hese exhibitions an In centlve to better agriculture. Schools of Inatrnctlon. Some state granges do not make enough of the "schools of Instruction'' for the correct performance of the de gree work. At least once n year some competent official should hold a school of Instruction In each county. He Hai Been Ile'ned Onec.
