Very far from it. Tho fanner, whether ho bo a member of the order or not, cannot nlnnd to let It die. It iiiiiliitcnanco underlies tho prosperity of tho individual the pros perity of tin' agricultural class under lie tho national prosperity. Tho drllt of tho thought leads us tocon-ldor the importance of agriculture and tlio rela tion of the agriculturist to tho common wealth. We eonio back to tho llrst thought of tho value of u pro-perous grango to tho progress of tho farmer. This proposition rightly understood will not bo questioned. Wo ought therefore, to expect an enthusiasm on tho pirt of tlio membership, nnd a con tinual growth both In numbers and In fluence. Circumstances nnd surround ings may, and most probably often do, retard or destroy nr.ny a .subordinate grange that would be otherwise eili-.-lent. lint oven hero there ought to i (enthusiasm. Thesurprisu is that in i many instances, wnero tnero is la diligence, smre enthusiasm and ni abiding faith In tho result, the grange hi come to a .standstill, and considers itself foiiunatc If it has been able to hold the memhers who olued when the order was on it high tide.
