RAISING THE
HARDY GOAT.
While goat raising Is an Important
Industry In European countries, espe
cially In Switzerland, Italy, Germany,
Australia, Trance, Norway and Spain,
It Is only within the last eight or ten
years that goats have attracted the at
tention of breeders who have since
raised them In any considerable num
bers. The enthusiasts say that there
Is a big profit In raising them for mar
ket. The hardiness of the goat and Its
ability to care for Itself render goat
FINB SFEOIMEK OV THD A.NOOIU,
raising a very simple matter. It Is
not particular In Its food, nor Is It a
gross eater. For" this reason goat farm
ing Is especially recommended for
womea The farmer's wife Is learning
that she can care for a large herd with
little effort or worry. An Important
source of Income Is thus made possible
throughout the country. Practically
any land, no matter how poor, will
support a goat herd, provided alone It
Is not wet or marshy. Goats will
thrive and multiply on land which
would starve horses or cattle or even
sheep. The roughness of the land
works no disadvantage since goats
seem to prefer hillsides and rocky
cliffs to level country.
The principal value of the Angora
goat from a commercial standpoint lies
in its wool, which is commonly known
as mohair, but another' strong point In
the Angora is its dietetic peculiarity,
which makes it one of the best land
scavengers In the world. A great
many of tho farmers who have in re
cent years gone into Angora goat rais
ing have had the clearing of their
brush patches in view rather than the
mere production of mohair.
Writing of milk goats recently, a
Massachusetts breeder said: "The two
breeds which by common agreement
soem the most desirable for this coun
try are the Toggenburg and Saanen,
both Swiss varieties. Only a few Im
portations of these have been made,
numbering In all fewer than 100.
"What are they good for? They are
milk producers milk of a very high
quality nnd with not the slightest
strong or unpleasant flavor. They nro
not so good for cream or butter. The
milk Is richer In fat than cow's milk,
but does not separate readily. At the
same time It is the most easily di
gested milk known, which makes It of
tho greatest value as food for children
and invalids.
"The writer has a Saanen doe that
gave three quarts of milk per day at
her first kidding and now, six months
later, gives two quarts. The milk sells
in the cities readily" for 25 cents
per quart. When mature this doo
should give five or sis quarts when
fresh. She is a hearty feeder and
drinker, but, for 611 that, what is such
an animal worth as an Investment?
To tho man familiar with the caro of
domestic animals and with a small
capital hore Is an opportunity in nn
undeveloped but extremely promising
field first, for some tlmo, In supplylug
pure bred breeding stock and later hi

ber of good, active does from which
to breed a thick of high grades. In or
der to meet the demand from the class
of people who can hardly afford to
pay $40 to $50 for a milk doe. There
Is no apparent reason why with pa
tience and care there should not be
produced a strain which will be large
producers. I have heard of a doe giv
ing eight quarts of milk in twenty-
four hours and over 1,000 quarts in one
year."
Mixed Breeding.
In mixed breeding or crossed breed
ing nothing is accomplished beyond
the first cross. While a few good in
dividuals may bo secured, the tend
ency Is for the progeny to be rather
below than above the average. A man
conducting his breeding In a haphaz
ard way is contending with fearful
odds, groping in the dark, following
8 wlll-o'-the-wlsp, writes George II.
Glover In a Colorado experiment sta
tion bulletin. In a hundred yearr he
would be Just where he started. After
animals have been graded up to a
practical flurlty of blood, the longer
they are bred along this line the more
prepotent they become and the more
certain that the offspring will uniform
ly possess general excellence of form,
quality, action and utility.
FEEDING THE COW.
6 mall Grain Ration During the Sum
mer Will Prove Profitable.
The cows should be fed liberally. It
will be found profitable to feed a small
grain ration during the summer. It
not only helps them to keep up the
flow of milk, but they come Into win
ter quarters in better condition, do not
dry up so quickly and come out the
next spring able to do more work.
Much, however, depends on the cows
and the feed.
It Is claimed that this additional feed
In summer to the pasture is better for
the manure and, besides, gives superior
milk and more of it.
An extensive dairyman says that for
twenty years his cows have had dry
hay before them every time they were
put In to be milked, which was twice a
fluy, und the pasture never was so good
but what those cows would eat some
of the dry hay.
This question of feeding grain or
hay In tho summer time is a very Im
portant one. Trofessor Sanborn of
New Hampshire some years ago made
the experiment and found that one
pound of hoy was equivalent to one
pound of grain for feeding his cows
In the summer time on fresh pasture.
An old western dairyman once said
thnt the most slovenly way of feeding
a cow is to let her go to pasture; that
sho destroys more than she will eat
and if a man Is using very much flue
pasture, especially on high priced land,
he is using it to great disadvantage,
no said he could better afford to grow
a crop and feed It to the cow, so there
would be no waste.
It is important with silage and soil
lug crops to feed some dry hay as well
as grain through the summer for the
effect that it has on the digestive tract
A speaker before a dairymen's asso
ciation said that Borne years back he
began feeding tho cows grain In the
summer time and dry hay every time
they were being milked, lie came to do
It by having had a lot of feed-ground
up corn and oats mixed with bran
thnt he was feeding the cows, aud
after he turned them out to grass he
J. J
V
thought ho would OSS up what reed he
had left. lie noticed that the more
cornmcal there w as In the mixture the
better the cows liked It. They did not
seem to care for bran, probably as they
had plenty of protein. The next year
he fed hay and common I and oats and
had an Increase of firiy pounds of but
ter over the product of the previous
year. .
Pigs In the Orchard.
A writer In Rural Nfv Yorker says)
that before the pigs are turned on to a
clover sod they should have nose rliifis,
not for the good of the pig. but for
protection of the sod. It Is but little
trouble to Insert the ready made wire
rings, which cost 15 cents per 100, as
sorted sizes. The nippers for placing
the rings cost 20 cents each. Place
ring In theuippers, and while the pig
Is eating reach down and place the
opening In the ring over the gristle
part of the nose, close the nippers
quickly nnd the job is finished. We
have placed forty rlnjrs in their noses
within twenty minutes. When we
pasture pigs In the orchard we do not
ring them. We think It advantageous
to the tree nnd fruit to have the ground
rotted up thoroughly. We are Inclined
to think this method Is more beneficial
to plum than to peach trees, especially
In producing fruit Our plum trees de
velop wood and a quantity of choice
fruit, while the peach trees develop
wood and less fruit.
Raising the Colt by Hand.
It not infrequently happens that
colts are left motherless while yet
quite young. Such colts are not an en
tire failure. They can be reared by
hand and thrive quite well where the
proper care Is given them. If the colt
has had even one or two feeds of its
mother's milk It is well started, but
where it has had none It is in a worse
shape. In such case the bowels should
should first be opened with a dose of
castor oil, and a short while after that
it can get Its first feed. To make a
substitute of Its mother's milk take
fresh cow's milk, add to It one-fourth
water and sweeten somewhat with
sugar. This should he fed to the colt
at blood temperature four or five times
a day. After the colt is a few weeks
to a month old It can be fed a little
oatmeal or other soft food. Even be
fore this time It will begin nibbling
soft grasses. Although the colt must
be started in very slowly on these
feeds, It will be found that they help
wonderfully. Gregor II. Glltzke.
Dairy Rules.
Tho lesson is this, says a dairyman:
Break away from old traditions and
customs; select a dairy breed that BUlts
you best nnd stay by that breed; do
not change; grade up the best cows
that you have; test and discard the
poor and worthless cows; have a stand
ard to line up to; do not bo afraid of a
certain amount of line breeding to fix
heredity; don't mix the breeds; depend
upon the sire and his breeding to ad
vance the merit of a herd; do not
change sires very often; breed for good
health; be thorough; feed for milk and
not beefmaklng; be sanitary; be a
dairy student; don't get finicky, and the
dairy of the future will be the wonder
of the world.
Plenty of Pure Water,
Tho hogs must have plenty of good,
pure water, obtained from well, spring
or flowing stream, and we like to have
a place for our hogs to "wallow" dur
ing the hot perlod.s We have never seen
that good, clean mud nnd water In
jured our hogs lu the least, says a
breeder, and It certainly affords them
a great deal of pleasure to sink down
In a good sized mudbole where the

a spring.

THE AMERICAN PRINCIPLE.
Representation In the National Grange
Discusied.
The Pennsylvania Grange News says
editorially that the policy of representa
tion in lawmaking bodies in proportion
to the population is an American prin
ciple. In our federal government as
well as in the states we have two
branches of the lawmaking body, the
lower house and the senate. Neither
of these is complete in Itself, one
being a completed half of the other
and bo.th being required to act before
any bill can be enacted into law. In
the United States senate each state
has two votes, and in the other bouse
of congress this is equalized by giv
ing to the states of larger population
a larger number of votes. For in
stance, Colorado has two in tba sen
ate and three in the house, making five
votes. Indiana has two lu the senate
and thirteen in the house, making a
total of fifteen. Rhode Island has two
in the senate and two in the house,
making four votes, while Pennsylvania
has two in the senate and thirty-two
In the house, making thirty-four votes
that we can give to any measure of
Interest or Importance to the welfare
of the Keystone State. New York,
having still a larger population, has
two in the senate and thirty-seven in
the house.
So we find the system of representa
tion In the national grange Is out of
accord with the American principle of
representation. This American princi
ple of representation is also carried out
In our state legislatures, as counties of
larger population have more votes
than those of smaller population and
of less material, interests. So in the
national grange states should be given
representation in proportion to their
grange membership. When a state
hustles and builds up a large member
ship and pays a big sum of money into
the national grange treasury (and
Pennsylvania pays between $2,000 and
$3,000 to it every year) Its Importance
to the Order should be recognized and
rewarded by proportional representa
tion. It is true that political machines
are and always have been against giv
ing the people very much voice in their
own affairs, but we don't expect to
find machine methods in any unit of
the grange organization.
OREGON STATE GRANGE.
8ome of the Resolutions Adopted at
the Annual Session.
Oregon is one of the few states in
which the annual session of the state
grange is not held In the winter. May
Is the month in which Oregonlans hold
their annual session. This year it was
held in the city of Eugene. The tax
system of various states was under
consideration by a committee of the
state grange with a view to solve
the tax question and was continued for
another year. The grange favors the
classification of the property for the
purpose of taxation! They opposed
the single tax. They favored state and
national aid for highway Improvements
and also the local option law In Its
preseut form. A sum of $500 was vot
ed to help prepare a defense to their
direct legislation law before the United
States supreme court, and $2,500 was
voted for extension work. Over $70,
000 worth of grange property is now
owned by subordinate granges In Ore
gon. A resolution was adopted in
structing delegates to the national
grange to use their Influence and votes
In favor of a change from the present
basis of representation in that body.
Importance of the Leoturer.
All welj Informed students of grange
growth will agree that one of the chief
factors of its success was the excellent
management of the officials for the
subordinate grange as planned by its
founders. The worthy master was
wisely made chief executive, the over
Beer his assistant; the secretary made
the organ of the grange, and all other
officials were created for Important
and beautiful work, but had the care
ful study and research of those men
failed to suggest the importance of
Borne one to have charge of the edu
cational side of the Order and to meet
this demand created the office of lec
turer the history of the grange would
be very different today. Take away
the lecture field and the sublime truths
of our Order would become useless.

Iowa's Progress.
Iowa has been for many years alto
gether dormant as to grange matters,
but seven new granges have been or
ganized there this year. It was once
the very stronghold of grangedom, but
political and financial gain got in its
destructive and disorganizing work,
aud the granges went down in quick
order. We are glad to know that the
tide Is turning.
What the Orange Offers.
The grange offers to the farmers of
the United States a means of com
bination, of harmony of action, such
as they have never before possessed.
It offers them the means of expressing
tholr views as a body and enforcing
them.
The four subordinate grange degrees
may be conferred at the Bame meet
ing, but not on the same candidates.
The first two degrees must be con
ferred at one meeting and the second
two at another If on tba same candi
dates. George C. Brownell

FINANCIAL BENEFITS.
Do We Give Them Too Much Promi
nence In Selecting Members?
Special Correspondence.
Should we gve the financial benefit
to be derived from grange membership
more prominence than we do at the
present time, or should we give It less7
is a question which no UuuUt would be
answered in more than one way, de
pending somewhat on one's observa
tion and experience. With a very
large number of people It Is of the first
Importance to them to understand that
they are to be benefited In n financial
way in order to Induce them to be
come Interested enough to seek mem
bership in the grange.
However, very many people who join
the grange from a purely mercenary
motive become so Interested In the so
cial and educational features of the
Order that they wonder how they lived
so long without these advantages and
are not only willing but anxious to
put their shoulders to the wheel and
help to keep things moving. Such peo
ple would retain their membership
even though all financial benefits were
eliminated, but if it had not been for
the hope of financial gain to start with
we should never have had the oppor
tunity to enlighten them as to the best
and most important object of grange
membership.
The grange being so much more pop
ular than twenty or even- ten years
ago, it is not as necessary to put the
financial benefits foremost to every
one we desire to have become a mem
ber as formerly, but at the same time
the grange makes more rapid strides
in sections having a good, strong co
operative insurance company which re
quires grange membership to be eligi
ble to receive the benefits of Insur
ance. In proof of this assertion we
have but to call attention to sections
in this state, where granges once
strong and prosperous have become
dormant because the grange insurance
companies in an unguarded moment
opened wide their doors to those out
side the Order. This alone appears to
be positive proof that it is necessary
to still keep prominent the hope of
financial gain.
It is true there are other financial
benefits to be derived from grange
membership. Co-operative buying has
been a great success in many localities
and no doubt has added very ma
terially toward increasing the grange
membership. In the declaration of
purposes promulgated forty years ago
we find that one of the primary ob
jects was to buy and sell together.
Of course the end in view was finan
cial gain. People of today are not so
very much different from those of forty
years ago, and it is necessary to bold
out about the same Inducements to at
tract their attention as then.
At the present time our honorable Or
der has advantages in its favor as
against the odds of forty or even twen
ty years ago. Now It Is very popular,
and no one, no matter what position
he holds, thinks it beneath his dignity
to become a member of this great and
influential organization, but in the
early history of the Order this was not
so, and there were some people who
became members in order to receive
the hoped for financial gain and who
seemed fearful that their friends
would find-out that they had become
united with an organization of farm
ers, but that is all in the past Today
the entire membership is proud to own
allegiance to an Order that has made
the most rapid growth of any order
that has ever existed and one that has
been of untold benefit to mankind in
general and to the agriculturists in
particular. But notwithstanding all
this it is still necessary to keep in
prominence, and there are financial
benefits connected therewith to keep
up the strong, healthy growth that we
desire. W. H. VARY.

Authority of ths Master.
The master of a subordinate Po
mona, state or national grange is
clothed with great authority within the
jurisdiction of these various positions,
says National Master Bachelder. Al
though we have laws and regulations
governing action in many matters
which the master has no power to sus
pend or set aside, there are questions
arising constantly which the master
must rule upon not specifically cov
ered by the law. Such questions must
be ruled upon first by the master of
the grange In which they arise, sub
ject to higher authority. This allows
the master a broad field for the exer
cise of Judgment It, In fact, gives
him great authority, but no more than
he should have to balance the respon
sibility of this position.
Too Much Money.
Wolcott grange of Wayne county, N.
Y., with over a thousand members,
claiming to be the largest in the world,
Is Into a wrangle over the question of
what to do with the great surplus of
money that has accumulated In its
treasury. We recommend, says a writ
er in the National Stockman, that they
make a study of the teachings of the
Order and get rid of the "bone of con
tention" by "dispensing oharlty" to the
less fortunate granges who are wres
tling with the question of what to do
with their deficit

THE JUVENILE GRANGE.
Some Reasons Why There Should Be
an Organization of Young People.
Special Correspondence.
There Is no department of grange
work at the present tlmo so Important
for both present and future as that of
bringing in and training the young for
the work of the Oi
This is an age of specialties, and
among other wise and useful special
ties child culture is receiving Its share.
Why, then, should not the child of the
grange receive proper training aud the
granger of the future come upon the
scene of action fully equipped and
trained for the work he has to do?
The grange Is an educator of won
drous power and worth, and its train
ing Is entirely along different Hues from
those followed by the schools. There
Is a fitting for public life gained there
in not to ' be found elsewhere. Many
who have grown to manhood or wo
manhood timid and diffident have,
with a few years of grange experience,
acquired ability to express themselves
clearly and In an interesting manner
on almost all subjects. Had their
training begun in early youth, what
results might not have been reached!
The strongest argument In favor of
the Juvenile grange Is that It takes the
child at an age before other Interests
have crowded In and left no room for
It. Many children who have grown up
in among us and who have at an early
age expressed a longing to become old
enough to Join the Order have by the
time that age is reached lost Interest,
and their fresh young minds are lost
to us. Since the organization of the
Juvenile grange many young children
of worthy parents have come to us,
and without a single exception every
child has Joined the grange at the ear
liest opportunity after the age of four
teen is reached. And without one ex
ception these children are well trained
on parliamentary rules, are more than
usually thoughtful aud are ready to
express themselves on subjects which
are up for discussion. Their help In
the lecturer's hour Is of wonderful
value. The lecturer's hour is of equal
value to them, giving them, as It does,
the benefit of expressing themselves
in public and training them for a fu
ture of usefulness.

THE COUNTY FAIRS.
Co-operation of the Grange and Agri
cultural Societies Desirable.
The county agricultural societies are
beginning to see the benefit of having
the grange co-operate with them In
their annual exhibitions. Several coun
ty agricultural societies throughout the
state have been thus co-operating for
several years, but in other counties
they have not done so. Our attention
was recently called to an announce
ment made by the Columbia Agrlcul
tural and Horticultural society of Hud
son, whose fair is to be held Sept 15-17
and which offers for the best collective
exhibit of fruits, grains or vegetables
by any subordinate grange of the coun
ty of Columbia a first prize of$75 and
a second prize of $40; also $10 will be
paid to each grange making a cred
itable exhibit if it does not win the
first or second premium. No entrance
fee Is charged to exhibitors in this
class. The following scale of points is
to govern:

Wise Guidance Needed.
This is a broad country, and the
grange covers It well from Maine to
California, with here and there a
missing state above the old Mason
and Dixon's line. ' Below It there are
several. It demands great wisdom to
legislate or suggest legislation for
these many states, particularly where
conditions vary as they do between
California and Oregon and the extreme
east, Tho labor question 4s one that
requires different treatment here and
there. The Initiative and referendum
so popular in some states is passively
favored In others and earnestly op
posed in still others. But the national
grange has handled these diverse ques
tions with good judgment thus far,
and there Is no reason to fear for the
future.
Model Schoolhouse.
At a recent session of Wayne county
(N. Y.) Pomona grange a student from
Cornell Agricultural college spoke upon
rural schools. In his remarks he de
scribed the model schoolhouse that Pro
fessor Bailey has at Ithaca, with two
rooms, one fitted with desks as usual,
the other a laboratory or workroom,
with benches and tools and a window
garden full of plants, showing that
Prof. Bailey believes in industrial
teaching.
The Working Grange.
One of the first lessons that experi
ence taught the early grange worker
was that after the organization of a
grange, if it was to live and grow, it
must be given some work to do. A.
S. Moss of Fredonla grange, N. Y., in
writing to O. II. Kelley in 1S66, said,
"We must have work if we succeed."
