The Secrecy ol tho Order Secrecy was coiulderoil uocesssry to tho per' lect its own time and place, and the latter on Wednesday In February of each year, at such place as shall be from year to year determined. Its last meeting was held at Washington; its next will be held nt St. Louis. Iu active operation, the subordinate Oranges mostly meet twice a month, The minimum fee for membership in n subordinate Orange is, for men five dollars, nnd for women two dollars, except charter-members, who pay, men three dollas, nud women fifty cents. "During nil the years of development nnd growth, it is noteworthy thnt the practical op eration of tho farmers' movement has contin ued to bo conducted by its originators, who divided amongst themselves tho offices and charter membership of the National Grango. which constitutes the supremo court of nppenl in all questions appertaining to tho active man agement and work of tho order. From its early day to tho present moment, no important changes havo been effected in its management; aud, for tho most part, its leaders nro actively and nominally the same." The Leading Objects ol the Order Aro directed to nn abolition, so far ns practi cal, of the commissions of middlemen it being thu design to bring about dealings as direct ns possible between tho producer nnd tho con sumer, the manufacturer and tho party for whose particular use the nrticle is intended. It proposes to meet all combinations directed against the interests of thu farmers, with coun ter combinations for their own protection Tho Order proposes, when practicable, nnd where clrcumstnucos call for such action, to employ all fair aud honorable means to reduce (nights on railroads, steamboats, shlpa, etc. Agents, stnte, county nnd nntionnl nro ap pointed to look lifter nit matters of general interest between the producer nud consumer. Agricultural implements nru to bo bought by wholesalo, direct from thu manufacturers, aud delivered in the cheapest manner to the far mers, Tho crops of tho farmers aro to be moved aud marketed through Orango agents. Co-operutivo stores in any departuiout of trado aro to bu designated or established, wherever ilrcomstaiiccs admit or require, to (ho end that nil Patrons may obtain thu necessaries of life at the lowest practical cost. The poorest Granger rtcelves all tho beiietlts of tho Order, Ui thu samu extent ns the richest. Otiu of thu cardinal principles of (ho Order is to buy for cash. If a worthy member of tho Order desires to maku a purchase, but Is nut possessed of tho means, thu Oraiigu to which lie belongs often advances thu money. Itiscom iiioii for deputies to maku arrangements for thu ptltchasu of certain articles by tho members ol Ornugu, at wholesalo rates, nud they nlways instruct thu maiiufact-ircr or pro ducer not to till any single order for goods un less it is signul by thu Master and Secretary of thu Orange, bears thu seal o( thu same, and is lariirluMy (iccoi;wmIfif ly the cisi. Another prominent object of tho order is to eluvatu auiWligiiify tho occupation of thu far mer, by employing tho Orango ns n nlenns of education and self culture. Thu farmer is there taught to act and think for himself. Thu principles ami practice of farming Is taught iu thu Orange. 1-xperieucus nro theru given nud inteichaiiged, nshas been dono of late, with such largu bcnetlt In thu Farmers' Clubs. Systematic arrangements aro uiadu for pro curing and disseminating, iu thu most expedit ious manner, information relative to crops, demand and supply, price's, markets, and trans portation throughout thu country, nud for thu establishment of depots for thu sale of special or general products in the cities; nlso, for the pilichasu and exchange of stock, seeds, and desired varieties of plants nud trees, and for thu puiposu of procuring help at homo or from abroad, nud situations for persons seeking em ployment; also, for icccrtaiulug nnd testing tho merits of newly-invented farming imple ments and those not iu general use, aud for detecting and exposing those that aru unworthy, and for protecting, by all available means, thu (aiming interests (rum fraud and doceptiou of every kind. Tho Social Fealuro ol tho Order. Thu Order has three distinct and prominent features -social, intellectual and business. Of Ihu social, Mr. Saunders, iu an address at thu annual session of thu National Graugu in lb"0, said, "To maku country homes and country society attractive, rclhitd mid enjoyable; to balance exhaustive laUir by instructive social amusements and accomplishments, is part o( our mission and our aim." lu thu samu address, hu said, oil thu admis sion of women, "Their assistance iu thu work ings o( tho Order, is proving of incalculable value; it is indeed doubtful whether thu ob jects o( thu Institution, especially in regard to ihu relluemelits o( ediica'loii, and all that tends to brighten hearts and enliven homes could havo been accomplished without her presence nud aid." Ou thu samu subject one of thu National Orange circulars savs, "Every hus band and biother knows that where ho can be' accompanied by his wife or sister, no lessons will bo learned but those of purity nnd truth." One o( thu pleasant social features o( (hu Oranges is thu feasts, not fasts, provided by thu ladies once a month, 111 soiuu Oranges tak ing thu shapuot picnics lu thu woods. These are ipilto popular, and may have done much towards swelling Iho membership. To Miss Carriu A. Hall, of lloston, is awarded great credit for tho success ol tho so cial lea Hue, as she has devotes! her best ener gies to the interest of thu Order, almost from its inception. Thu Oraugo room, it is claimed, is a kind of moral club room for tho enjoymeut of both sexes. There is much music tu the ritual to enliven tho ceremonies, aud many of tho Oranges possess libraries for ttho amuse ment and instruction of tho members. This, it is claimed, naturally has a tendency to pre vent voting meii from leaving rural life where thev possess comfortable competence for pro cations competition in tho largo cities. Local soll.gov trmueni is largely recoguiziM granges, nud Is not restricted, provided lolatu none of thu general principles of tho'Onler. but tho Natioiul Oraugu takes no part iu tho purely ltval movements. A Charitable Feature. Tho Oreler has a charitable feature. Mem be rs aro couhihuhUhI to feed the huugry, help tho fatherless nud tho widows, aud to visit any brother or sisters who are sick, aud see that they aro provided with all things needful. Tho constitution provides thu any member found guilty of wautou cruelty to animals shall bo extolled from tho Order. , The. memliers aru also bound to assist each other iu troubles of all kluds, they nro oftou found doiug this work iu a practical mauuer, such as putting 111 tho crops or harvesting thu same, when from sickness or poverty members are uuablo to do that work tor tbeuisehoj. Law suits aud quarrel of all descriptions are also discouraged, aud all reasonable uievau takeu to secure amicable settlements of dispute with out cost to either party. As a rule the members of this Orvler nro farmers; but Iho terms of the Constitution ex clude uo ouo from its membership who nro as deeply iulcresled iu tho success of tho main purpose' of tho orgituiz4tiou as tho practical (armor. Within the lost year book-sowing machines havo beeu successfully introduced iu America, which ertect an average saving of one-half the cost of haud-oewiug, aud aro simple aud per fect lu their operatiou.
