Grange Notes.
There are over 24,000 granges in the
"United State, with a membership of
about l,i00,000, and still the noti-produ-ors
are not happy.
O. II. Kelley, secretary of the Na
tional Orange, says that granges are
being organized now at the rate of
.about eighty per month; that would ho
an increase of about twothousand four
hundred members for every 'thirty
days.
The watchfulness of the order over
all the interests of the people, is been
in the fact that in Illinois the State
Grange has made arrangements to fur
nish country schools with cheap desks,
chairs and tables, while in a certain
California county the Patrons appoint
ed a committee to examine into the as
sessment rolls, and they have already
corrected some notable cases of under
valuation. The New York World says: " Two
things especially the grange does well.
Ily promoting the interchange of ex
periences and by establishing agri
cultural libraries of reference, it is do
ing a work the full value of which to
the agricultural class and the commu
nity at large, it would be difficult to
overrate. It is also doing a good work
in educating the farmers to investigate
for themselves causes the effect of
which they feel.
Tiie Journal of Education says: " It
does not matter so much what you call
it, only so that you organize some gath
eiing and bring the people out and to
gether. It may be a singing school
a debating club a reading clnb a leg
islaturea court anything so as to get
together for mutual improvement and
a friendly fraternal interchange of
opinion. Let original and selected
pieces be read, some recitations be giv
en and good will be done. The Patrons
of Husbandry aredoing a good work
in this direction.
The mind needs food as well as the
body. The body would sutler if it
failed to receive food for a single day.
It is kept strong and vigorous by food
and exercise. The same is true of the
mind. It must be fed and exercised to
bo keen, strong and correct. Every
day that it is neglected, just, so much
power is lost. It is capable of indefi
nite improvement and expansion.
There is a limit to the power of the
body; but there is scarcely a limit to
the capacities of the mind. The far
mer is beginning to learn that knowl
edge is power, and he is rapidly acquir
ing knowledge that he may wield that
power for good, But we have written
this to say that as the brain needs food,
the farmer must supply it; and good
agricultural papers supply the very best
food for the jnind of the farmer. . The
more they subscribe for, the more food
their mind will get and digests Now
is the time to subscribe for agricultural
papers, and we hope every llural World
Teader will determine to Mibscribe for
several tho coming year. The farmer
cannot invest money to better advan
tage. Colman'n liural World.
Statistics ok Mining. In Great
Britain there are 410,000 men employed
in the coal mines below ground and
100,000 engaged above ground. The
coal mined each year amounts to 128,
r00,00U tons. On an average 1,000 men
are killed a year and 4,000 wounded.
In the last half century 50,000 men
have been kijlqd in the mines and
some 200,000' were 'wounded.
In the United States 83,000 men are
employed in mining and 50,000,000 tons
of coal mined yearly. In Pennsylvania
tho death rate exceeds that of Great
Britain. The death rate of Ohio was
also greater last year than that of
England, but this year it will be less.
The m ox t dangerous mines in the
United States are in Schuylkill county,
Pennsylvania, one man being killed
, there for every 35,000 tons mined. One
man is killed in England for every
138,000 tons mined, one in Pennsylva
nia for every 88,000 tons, aud one in
Ohio for every 133,000 tons.
Prof. David Swing does not approve
of Bible-reading in the public schools.
He says:
"The government has no more right
to teach the Bible than it has to teach
the koran. My idea is that the govern
ment did, in its earlier life, run accord
ing to a sort of Christian common law,
but now the number of Jews, Catholics,
aud infidels has become so greatly in
creased, thtf government has to base
itself squarely upon 1U constitutional
idea, that all menjare religiously equal.
Even if tho genius of the country per
mitted the teaching of the Bible In the
.schools, I should doubt the propriety of
continuing tho custom, because no val
uable moral results cuu ever come from
reading a few verges hurriedly In a
school house, and social strifes will be
continually springing up out of the
practice."
i r
Cark of You.vc; Stock. Some far
mers have advanced the opinion, and
even practiced upon It, that to have
hardy stock they must be exposed to
the weather, and stinted iti food while
.young; or, in other words, that a colt
or a calf well fed and xiared for will
naturally tie tender, and must he so fed
through life to be kept in good condi
tion. This is not so, in the first instance,
for stock half kept while young, can
never recover from the injury thus re
ceived, and no after care in feeding can
make as good an animal as would have
been produced by proper treatment in
early life. To keep stock profitably,
they should always be kept in thriving
condition, receiving extra attention
while young and growing, especially
during the winter and spring. Good
shelter and plenty to eat and drink aro
particularly necessary at this season of
the year to make valuable horses and
cattle hereafter. Wool Grower.
The' Milk Cimi:. Considerable has
been said in medical journals concern
ing the value of milk ns a remedial
agent in certain diseases. An interest
ing article upon thissubject lately an-
i pea red in the London Milk Journal, in
j which it is stated, on authority of Dr.
I Benjamin Clark, that in the E'tt Indies
warm milk is u-wl to a great extent as
! a .-pecific for diarrluea. A pint every
four hours, will check the most violent
i diarrluea, stomachache, incipient chol
era anu dysentery, rue miiK tmouia
never bo boiled, but only heated suf
ficiently to be agreeably warm not too
hot to drink. Milk which has been
boiled is not fit for use. The writer
gives several instances to show the val-
. ue of this simple cubitanee in arresting
tins disease. Another writer in me
same journal says: " We have also late
ly tested the value of milk in scarlet
fever, and learn that It is now recom
mended by the medical faculty in a"U
cases of this often very distressing
children's disease. Give all the milk
the patient will take, even during the
period of tho greatest fever. It keeps
up the strength of the patient, acts well
upon the stomach, arid is in every way
a blessed thing in this illness. Itemem
bcr it, parents, and do not fear to give
it if your dear ones are afflicted with
the disease.
A Happy Couple A man should
always bo a little older, a little braver,
and a little stronger, and a little wiser,
and a little more in love with her than
she is with him. A woman should al
ways lie a little younger, and a little
prettier, and a little more considerate
than her husband. He should bestow
upon her all his worldly goods, and she
should take care of them. He may
owe her every care and tenderness
that affection can prompt; but pecuni
ary indebtedness to her will become a
burden. Better live on a crust that he
earns than on a fortune that she has
brought him.
Neither must bo jealous, nor give the
other cause for jealousy. Neither must
encourage sentimental friendships with
the opposite sex. Perfect confidence in
each other, and reticence concerning
their mutual affairs, even to members
of their own families, is a first necessi
ty. A wife should dress herself becom
ingly whenever she expects to meet
her husband's eye. The man should
not grow slovenly, even at home.
Fault-finding, long arguments, or scold
ings end the happiness that begins in
kisses and. love making. Sisters and
brothers may quarrel and " make up:"
loyers ure no lopger lovers after disturb
ances, occur, and married people who
are not lovers are bound by red-hot
chains. If a mini admires 'his,, wife
most in a striped calico, she is silly -riot
to wear it'.' Son -of the 'Soil.
Official reports state that the dredger
has cut a passage in the channel at the
mouth of the Willamette river 19 feet
deep, at extreme low water mark; and
at Post Gfflce bar 18 feet 6 inches, at ex
treme low wator. As soon as there is
sufficient current in the Columbia river
the dredger will complete the cut
through the St. Helen's bar when this
is completed wo will have an uninter
rupted channel of not less than ,18 feet,

this port to the mouth, of the Colum

tide, of cdurse a gro'ater 'depth is had.

Says an English paper; "A sample of
condensed milk, weighing about lewt.,
was exhibited at the.rooins of the Soci
ety of Arts, and an Interesting exper
iment made thereon. This mammoth
piece of solified fluid was prepared by
Hooker's process. It had been exposed
to the action of the air for four years
aud three months, yet its quality was
so excellent that in a few minutes it
was resolved, bv churning, Into good
fresh butter. This trial was only one of
a series made at the International Ex
hibition, South Kensington, and else
where. In each case the same satisfac
tory result was obtained."
October and November are good
months generally to make pork, and
hogs should have all the food they will
eat, as you can make a third more
pork on a bushol of corn than can be
made in cold, blustry and sevore
weather, such as is common in Decem
ber and January. It then takes a large
quantity of feed to keep up the animal
heat and keep the stock from falling
off, instead of gaining. If the weather
si intensely cold, they seldom eat
enough to pay a man for the trouble of
feeding them.
How to Catch a Sheep. There is a
rirht wav to do evervtlilnc. Clumsv
catching aud handling Is always Injuri
ous to sheep, and hard on the party do
ing the work. The injury resulting
from improper handling is greater on
ewes heavy with lamh, which are about
the only class' that need to lie caught
until tagging aud tearing time. It
hurts u sheep to he caught or lifted by
the. wool, and such a thing should
never be done where it can he avoided.
A portion of the flock to bo caught
should be driven into a pen until it is
pretty well filled, thoucrh not crowded.
'The party doing the catching should
proceed quietly, frightening tho sheep
as little as possible, and when near
enough to the animal he desires to
catch, should grap its hind leg above
the hock, when, ir a pretty firm grip is
1.. .11 -nM. tllfln 1r tMnn nn.t ....i..n

Then he should pass the other hand in
front of the breast, which gives him
every advantage over tho animal. If
it is desired to carry tho sheep any
considerable distance, he should let go
the hind leg. and pass the right arm
over the back, just belrind, the shoul
ders, witli the hand under tho brisket,
when, stooping a littles the sheep is
raised on the hip. If these movements
aro made with precision and celerity,
the sheep is off its feet before it Is al
lowed a chance to struggle. An easy
way to carry a sheep for a shorter dis
tance is, nfter lifting it, as above, to
take a hind leg .with the free hand,
which brings the sheep immediately
in front, with Its back pressed closely
against the man. This position will be
found quite necessary wlien the animal
is to be lifted over a fence, or'into a
wagon. If it is desired only to move
the animal from one pen to another, it
need not be lifted at all, but with tho
first grin over tho hamstring it may bo
gently drawn backward to the entrance,
and turned with tho left hand, before
being released. Xational Lire Stock

Shipment of Illinois Beef Cat
tle to Europe. A correspondent of
tho English Live-Stock Journal writes
as follows about tho arrival and sale at
Glasgow of the beef cattle from Illinois
to Scotland, of tho shipment of which
mention was made at the time in these
columns:
On Thursday, in Glasgow Cattle
Market, there were sold, by Messrs.
Swan & Sons, nearly fifty cattlo that
had been shipped from Montreal, after
1,100 miles inland journey from Illinois.
They were tho remainder of seventy
one imported, twenty-nine having to
be consigned to the waves not owing
to the fact that tho weather was bois
terous, but because the animals having
been, prior to their embarkation, fed
upon soft meat, were on board placed
upon hard-pressed and somewhat
stringy dry hay. Though tho twenly
nine succumbed to the diet, the others
bore up against it, and when exhibited
on Thursday they were In admirable
condition their long ocean journey not
having apparently affected them in the
slightest. They moved about tho mar
ket with so little symptoms of fatiguo
that the butchers were eager to make
out of their way. Health was stamped
in their every movement, and quality
discerned at the touch. The apprecia
tion of purchasers as to their ''killing
properties" cart bo readily judged of by
tho prices realized an average of 32
per head. There can be no doubt that
American cattle, when a little more
experience and a little more judicious
treatment on board ship are exhibited,
can be brought to British emporiums
at a prdfit to the sender,- and their
presence in eur markets would be a de
cided benefit to the consumers, as they
would tend to reduco the extravagant
prices now prevailing.

Low and cold In the darksome earth,
With the russet leaves above thee,
That Autumn in her flitting strewed
'Neath the tears of those who love theo.
By tho murmur of that sad lake,
Whose white lips moan forever:
Tliou fclaepest there, tuy dark-eyed love,
Nor even death our souls shall sever.
Nor even death can still for ave
The niem'ry of those aiin-olarl days,
Nor make my love (trow fainter, Love,
Than when we roamed those shaded ways.
Ob, Lovel I know that thou art lonely,
Even In the augfe.' heaven,
I know thou lonvest mora for earth
Than all the bliss that world baa given.
Perhaps because thou disoontented art
Tbou wanderest by some sunless river,
Beneath soma deep and bileut shade
Where never rays cf sunlight quiver.
Thou canst not be content whnra I am not,

With love's ioc, pm-slouate ilirlottT
Speak, Love, from off thy purple heights,
And tell me that tbou lov'nt me still.

a bog that has been stinted, fat for the mar
