From a Lady Correspondent
Cj:ntiial School House, Linn Co.,
April 23, 1877.
En.PAitMun: Charity Gratige, No. 10;
not only allvo, but Is In a vigorous working
condtlon. Wo moot in tho Contral School
Houso nt 'i o'clock p. m. on tho 21st inst.
After tho Important buslnoss was gono
through, tho question was whoibor or not
wo should build n grango hall thlssoason,
This of courso did not opoiin very largo
field for discussion, bocauso tho membors of
Charity Grango think that next to being
marrlod to tho right porson, thoro Is nothing
so Important in ono's llfo as having a houso
ofono's own. Thoro was a fow romarks
made by soveral of tho Brothors, which was
to tho point. They said that tlioy wcro
tlrod living in n rontod houso, nnd did not
think that tlioy would rent (or rather
Npongo) much longor. Hut whoro tho room
for discussion camo in wns, whoro shall wo
build. Somo of course wanting it onoplaco
and somo anotnor, but wo finally camo to
tho conclusion that it would bo bost for our
Worthy Master to appoint a commltteo of
fivo to find n location , or lfthoy saw lit four
or fivo dlll'oront locations, and nt our next
regular meeting they aro to loavo It to a vote
of tho grango which placo it will bo. Wo
somotlmos hoar tho romark from mombers
of our Ordor, "Our grango accomplishes so
llttlo in tho way of roal buslnoss, and I ro
colvo so fow bonollts mysolf, that 1 am be
coming discouraged," Tho abovo romark
is not inado by workors; thoy havo no -lino
to complain. It procoods from n class of
inon who united with tho grango under tho
doluslon, It would soom, that tho ordor could
tako caro of Itsolf, without any especial caro
on their parts; thoy, In tho monmlmo, shar
ing all tho bouollta which tho working mem
bers receive. Thoy havoattondod, possibly,
a half a doon oftholr grango mootlngs with
in tho past two years; dlsposo of their farm
products to inlddlo-mon; buy tholr supplies
from tho snino sourco, and, worso than nil
this, thoy will speak In disparaging terms of
tholr ordor to otlior farmors, who otherwlso
would unite with us, woll knowing that tholr
remarks will do injury to tho ordor. I
would say to all such tnombors ns this that
I think I can toll thorn how to kill a grango,
Novor mako any arrangonionts or tako anv

you will bo preparod to enlighten nny

of tho Department of Agriculture: Great

uniformly looks to other nations for a mate
rial portion of her bread supply, Ituula
and tha U, 8. aro the main sources of sup
ply, muo amount rcquircu iu auutuon to

result of the larger bread ration consumed

Is equivalent to 05,724,311) bushels of wheat
of oX) pounds each per annum. In tha past

Increase modified by tluctustlons of homo
production, though tho lmporta of 1802 ex
coed those of any other year up to 18r.l, lu
