George T. I'owell of Ghent, N. Y., t
prominent member of the Order and
formerly the head of the school ol
practical Agriculture at Briar CMC
Manor, N. Y., Is conducting some vain
iile experiments on his "Orchard
Farm" relative to establishing orchards
and their care. His practice lias been
to recent years to purchase trees ol
strong vigor like the Northern Spy or
which choice varieties have been toj
worked. lie has practiced the selec-1

fifteen years. Two thousand trees
were planted last spring, all of whict
were top worked by selecting buds
from the choicest bearing trees from
rchards in various sections of the
country. Mr. Powell Is a believer In
heading down trees, starting them
Within eighteen inches of the ground
The chief reasons for this are to bet
ter meet the conflict with the San Josi
cale, the greater ease In thinning oul
the fruit on low hended trees and theli
advantage in case of severe storms.
He also favors the . introduction oi
4warf trees. He has Imported a very
choice English variety knowu as the
Cox Orange Pippin. Mr. Powell keeps
the soil In his orchards in a high state
f cultivation by plowing under clovei
annually.

cultural and horticultural societies and

Agriculture In Bnrnl School,
' The study of agriculture in Its rudl
'moots in our rural 'schools Is one ot
the pressing demands of the times. It
is n question that will not down. It is
one with which the grange can deal,
and the grange must agitate the re
form until it has been accomplished.
As II. E. Cook well says In an ex
change, the Order has never lu Its his
tory approved and pushed any Just
cause that was not Anally granted by
our executive and lawmaking bodies.
This Is a just and righteous cause,
and when this strong organization gets
squarely behind the proposition with
something like a definite scheme, suf
ficiently worked out and concretely
presented, then will agriculture be a
part of the rural school curriculum. A
suggestion may bo added that our la
bor unions adopt the fundamental
grange principle of education. The
grange originally made a strong effort
to build upon petty financial savings,
but failed. When education became
the watchword all other things were
added thereto. If, therefore, trade un
ions would begin a systematic organ
ized demand for Industrial training In
the city schools and thus co-operate
with the grange In the co ordinate re
quest for agriculture In tho rural
schools, we should soon revolutionize
the social and Industrial life of our
commonwealth.
The Iilcnl Fnlr.
While many of the old time agricul
tural fairs are drifting away from
tholr original purpose, tho turn of the
wheel brings us to the grange fairs,
which In many Instances are now tlx
ideal agricultural fair. Managed with
slight expense, they brhig out genuine
sociability and Instruction lu a way
that is extremely profitable.
Buckeye grange, Medina county, 0.,
has purchased a schoolhouso to be
used for a grange ball. The school
house was lu the market because of
centralization of schools In the town
ship. It Is profitable as well as enjoyable
to occasionally bold day meetings of
the grange at the homes of som of
the member.

What To Do.
There is comfort in the knowledge so
often expressed, that Dr. Kilmer's
Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy,
fulfills every wish in curing rheumatism,
pain in the back, kidneys, liver, bladder
and every part of the urinary passage.
It corrects inability to hold water
and scaliling pain in passing it, or bad
effects following use of liquor, wine or
beer, and overcomes that unpleasant ne
cessity of being compelled to go often
during the day, and to get up many
times during the night. The mild and
the extraordinary effect of Swamp-Root
is soon realized. It stands the highest
for its wonderful cures of the most dis
tressing cases. If you need a medicine
you should have the best. Sold by drug
gists in fifty-cent and one-dollar sizes.
