The Permanence ot the Orange
That the Order of the Patrons of Hus
bandry is now a permanent institution,
or, as one writer expresses it, that "the
Grange has come to stay," will bo ac-
k nowledged by nearly every thinking far
mer, whether he is a member of the Order
or not.
It aflbrds opportunities supplied by no
other agency. Too long thefarmers have
becu without that organization and unity
of feeling which should result from their
unity of interest, and which has coiimd
quently rendeied them weak and power
less, in the hands of thoso corporations
and trade unions far inferior to them in
point of numbers or of apgregatc wealtn.
When once a farmer feels that bo is
supported by his brother farmers, and
that they can unite to work for the rights
of their whole class against all other
classes w Inch ha e heretofore ,ROerned
them, then he will not readily gho up his
connection with the Order. As lie real
izes the wealth, power and capabilities of
an organization which unites almost all
fnimen-, whether of tho East or West, the
Xoith or South, as one man, in tho eleva
tion of themselves and their occupation,
the improvement of their social relation
and the education of patrons and their
families in better methods of living and
performing the various duties of their po
sitions, ho will wonder why such an organ
ization was not formed at an earlier date,
and how the farmers, ever could Ik-mo been
successful in their business before its for
mation.
It may bo trup that the Grange does
not open up any new avenues to wealth,
nor even lead the farmer in many sections
to adopt any startling or radical change
from his prewous methods of cultivation
and management. It does not make him
a skillful lawyer, but it may teach him
enough of law to aoid its intricacies and
entanglements, and lead him to lie in
harmony with his brother farmers, or, at
least, to'entrust-their disagreements and
honest diflVrences of opinion to the arbi
tration of disinterested pirties wholiae
no other object in uew than tho promo
tion of tho best interests of both parties
to the dispute, and the adjustment of
i their difficulties according to thpjirinci
i pies of eijuity mid justice. In doing this
i tho Grange lias atfcompliMic-d 'a work
which willtvcomriiend it to every farmer
who has lit Heart the interest of his fellow
in nil
the soil, but it is to make him n better
farmer ; to pleviUc himself, his family and
his calling until tho world shall stand
ready to acknowledge that the successful
farmer is the peer and equal of any man,
no matter what may be the profession,
trade or calling, in the comparison.
True, there is nothing new in advanc
ing this idea, since politicians have often
announced this doctrine when addressing
audiences at agricultural fairs and other
meetings where farmers were supposed
to form a majority of the audience, but
when their point was gained, and the far
mer's vote secured, they hae as persis
tently ignored thoirown declarations, and
overlooked both the farmers and the farm
ing interest until the time came around
again when they wanted the farmer's aid
and vote.
To unite tho farmers, when the time
comes for showing active resistance to
the encroachment of powerful monopolies
upon the rights of the agricultural class,
and enable them to demand of tho would
be law makers distinct pledges rather
than "glittering generalities," is one of
the duties of tho Grange, and a duty
which it will be probably called upon to
perforin as long as the necessity for such
work exists, and when it ceases to exist
we may look for tho near approach of tho
millenium. The permanence of tho
Order, however, is likely to depend more
upon its social qualities than upon its
power of antagonism to other organiza
tions. Man is prc-.minently a social be
ing. In the society of lijs, fellow manMic
is apt to try lo show the better qualities
of his nature, and in endeavoring to put
them forward he will cultivate them. To
bring the farmers and their families to
gether and to lead them to put forth
their powers of pleasing and being pleas
ed by mutual intercourse and friendly
feeling is one of the good works to which
the Grange is well adapted, and ono
which will endear it to the hearts of thoso
whom it benefits. Those who have found
chorfthed friends through the medium
shipof the Grange meetings, where before
they had only ordinary acquaintances or
ceremonious neighbors, will not count
fither time, labor or money misspent
which may lmo been necessary to keep
up the meetings or tho interest therein.
The young people who have been in
troduced to tho society nf congenial com
panions at its gatherings, or who, in its
exercises, have been led to develop their
latent talents for amusing or instructing
others, or cxprc-ing their opinions upon
the various topics that craio up for debate
or discussion in the meetings, will not
feel that tho usefulness of the Order has
passed as long as they feel that they have
more to learn. Nay, not even until they
may have seen their children arid their
children's children brought forward even
as they have been. Tho many who havo
found that farmers united in the'Grango
as in an organized body will receive more
respect and better treatment from traders
and manufacturers than they did when
acting- simply as individuals jvill not
readily see the Order go down, nor will
those who have found that by attending
regularly the meetings of the Order' they
are brought into contact with tho best
and most progressive farmers of their
section, and that from such men they
never fail to secure new ideas, and, who
soon realize that frequent association
with those who have made a study of
some special branch of farming, or who
at least have been successful in some spec
ial branch, is the best way of acquiring
knowledge such men will notuesire the
meetings to cease.
As an educator of tho farmer and tho
farmer's wife, also, in those things which
go to make life pleasant as well as profit
able, those which constitute the amenities
of society, and adapt them to please and
be pleased among others, tho Grange is
as good a work as it is in tho woi k of
spreading among, the many the knowl
edge' which has heretofore constituted
the skill of the few, and in so doing it is
making itself as necessary as the school,
tho academy or the agricultural college,
and while these institutions exist and
farmers feel that they cannot do without
tliem, they also will not feel willing to
allow the Grango to go down.
Wo have referred to a few of the reasons
why the farmer should support the Grango
and why he will support it, if it is rightly
managed. If it abandons the good work
which it has so well begun, and branches
out into a political oreanization, or if it is
allowed to become tho tool of designing
looked to with greatest interest. The
nuestion for the consideration and action
of the Farmers Congres, overshadowing
all other, whether we regard them as the
number of our people employed, the
amount and value of farm products, or
the capital engaged in the cultivation of
the soil. Agriculture is now, anu must
always be the most important interest of
the American people. That it furnishes
seven-eights of the exports of the country
is conclusive proof of this. It has pa
tiently borne exactions and burdens to
foster and build up other industries, with
out having as other pursuits, union and
concert of action for its own protection.
The result of this policy on thepartof
farmers has been to have only a minority
of farmers in most of the Legislatures,
but few representatives in tho Lower
House of Congress, and ono or two in
tho Senate of the United States. The
banking, railroad, manufacturing and
commercial interests all have their paid
lobbyists in every State Legislature, and
at Washington while the millions of
farmers are toiling at home to meet the
taxes and burdens unjustly levied upon
them. It is believed that the Farmers
Congress in which the humblest farmer
can bo heard will secure that kind of
union and co-operation so much needed
and desired by American farmers. They
do not ask, or desire class legislation, but
they demand that the machinery of Gov
ernment shall no longer be used for their
oppression Among other things theyw a'lt
tho Department of Agriculture repressnt
ed in tho Prcsidont's Cabinet, and so ex
piesscd themselves unanimously at the
last session of this body. They want the
tariff modified and justice done tho great
mass of consumers. They want tho in
ternal revenue laws repealed as inimical
in their operation to freo institutions, and
its thousands of officials and informers
dismissed from the public service. They
want a policy inaugurated in which
equal and exact justice is done to every
industry with no favoritism in legislation
or in the action of tho Government.

Changing Crop Rotations.

With most farmers the custom of their
neighborhood and tho force of sunound
ing circumstances too often determine
the rotation of crops adopted. Thus
methods arc practised and rotation adopt
ed year after year from force of habit
rather than from any good reason for tho
same. It is not an easy matter to get
out of the ruts into which farming has
been run, however plausible may appear
the advantages of a change. Only such
general failures of old methods as involvo
heavy losses will bring the majority of
fanners .to terms. It is undeniable, how
ever, that radical changes are now being
bi ought about by the more progessivo
faimers that must in many sections work
"a revolution in farm methods. Unex
pected difficulties are encountered in pas
sing along the well-worn ruts, and it has
become evident that if farming is to be
successfully followed it must bo by a
pretty general change of system. Farm
ers are subjected to sharper competition
than ever before. Only those who farm
best can survive the test. Eastern States
farmers especially must greatly increaso
the producthencss of their high-priced
lands if they would continue, to sell farm
products at a profit. Wo cannot add to
the price of our products, since they are
fixed hi' tho-e who are able to sell most
cheaply. Unless we can sell at their
prices we must give up profitable farm
ing. Tho radical mistake of old methods
was that thoy took too little account of
the manure made on the farm. They
exhausted fertility, while tho now meth
ods must increase it. Wo must keep
more stock, sell less grain and obtain tho
money lor living expenses and profits
from the sale of fruits, dairy and other
stock products, and from sales of stock
grown or at least fitted for market on tho
farm. We cannot do this by feeding cat
tle mainly on pastuie and hay. Farmers
have been carrying all they could on that
plan, with tho startlihg result that each
year showed a less proportion of stock of
all kinds, a greater aieaof tilled land and
a smaller aerage yield of crops. Utiles'
this result can be rcerbed it is only ques
tion of time, anil not of ery long time
either, when farming must be abandoned,
ous foods than to crow them. It only
needs a small addition of cotton-seed
meal or wheat bran to make corn fodder
in ensilago or otherw iso a perfect ration
for any animal. If this extra feed is
purchased there is all tho bettor assur
ance that not only is the available but
absolute fertility of the farm increased.
In any cent the progressive and intelli
gent farmer will purehaso enough phos
phate nd nitrogen in some form to re-
placo the gram sold from his farm.
With due forethought, however, there
need be no deficiency in ensilago s a
perfect ration. More clover should bo
grown and stored in the silo. It will be
a serious mistake if the greater product
iveness of corn fodder leads to tho neglect
of clover in this connection. Its tap
roots mellow- the soil to a greater depth
than any other crop, and in their decay
furnish an amount of plant food equal to
a heavy manuring. In any system of
rotation which the adoption of ensilago
involves, more clover rather than less
should be the rule. If we do not sow-
clover it will bo hard work increasing tho
fertility of Northern lands. The clover
may or may not bo put in the silo, as con
venience dictates but in some shape
clover should bo part of tho ration of all
stock, and on no account should it bo
sold from the farm where grown. Such
a policy was scarcely to be excused in
times when the maintenance of fertility
was much less important than it is now
known to be. Clover has never sold
at a price near its worth for feeding on
the farm, and though it probably draws
from the subsoil much of the mineral
matter it contains, vet it is necessary that
it be returned, or diminished fertility and
the failure of other crops will surely be
the result. Fortunately, on all, except
light sands, clover seed liberally sown will
make a good catch, even where the soil is
too poor for good hoed crop, and on the
spndy soils the ne of potash, which is a
comparatively cheap fertilizer, will gener
ally sccuio tho success of tho clover seed

Abba Hossen approached the Sheik with all
the graity he could assume, and asked him
to let up. It was too much, he Biid, and bo
hoped the Sbeik would forbear being funny

" That's all right," persisted tho Sheik,
"but just as we rounded the shore of Gali

train. He put him off at four stations, and
at the fifth, by the beard of my father, there
W8S the tramp again, Then the conductor
kicked him olf, and at the next station there
sat the tramp on the back platform of the last

Job might havo been a very patient man, but
he had to lie. It he nad gone staring around
iu that early day, ou account of his boilK, and
said things, sucn as ho patient sons-of-guns of
the present day say, ho would nave lost m
reputation. His neighbors would have lis
tcucd to his emphatic; language, shook their
heads and saidi "Bless inc. ho tillis like a
Chicago alderman I" Job Has all right be
cause It was fashionable to be patient,, and
there were few people, where ho had his boil
orchard, to run against him and hit a boil
with their elbows. Bat suppose Job Was lo
go through Chicago with these boils and have
to get his baguage checked, with poultices all
over him, and a drummer fur a hardware
houte should hit him on lit ) uist bon with a
to hundred pound valisu loaded with haid
ware? I don t oiru if Job was a profu.u.or of
eleven dillerunt kinds of revealed rcligiju he
would get hot and he would knock that
drummer through an iron fence and Halk ou
him. That's thu kind of a Job I am, anyway,"

built rad and its completion will tend to ad
vance the interest of Sail Franclico, beiidcs
developing the country tluough which it

of publication. It is no new cntiue, no
uncertain thing, but well founded and
ably conducted.
Any single subscriber can remit $2 00

Those who write and ncnd in a club of

Old friends of tho Faiimer can easily
secure among their neighbors five or ten

We hope that many will get up clubs
