A resolution passed to'elect a delegato or representative o Marion county to attend the Linn County Business Council meetings.- Another committeo was ap pointed to visit the different subordinate Granges of this county and to assist to rovivo dormant Granges. The import ance of the Grange work in all its phases was shown and the members in attend ance united in expressing their full en joyment of the occasion. It was in some degree an informal meeting where mem bers partook freely in the discussions but without disorder. The patrons of this county should turn out in full to attend the Fomona meetings, becauso any fourth degree member can attend, and proceedings are always in that degree. The- value of business co-operation was shown through the debates and steps aro taken to work in unison with Linn county Granges to secure benefits of such co-operation with them. The great feature of the Grange is anti-monopoly and it contains within itself some germs of monopoly that have sprouted and made growth. It is aristo cratic, after a fashion, when it has six degrees that have a sort of exclusiveness about them. It is also exclusive and aristocratic in demanding peculiar qual ifications for delegates to State and Na tional Granges. There is really no need for sccrcsy save of the plainest degree to isolate the membership so that it will have somo identity. Secresy may give it a romantic tinge for some eyes and it may ac'd value in others, but the fact of secresy has no bearing on its influence for good or its success. Many good peo ple fear it on that account. Still, for pro tection and safety, seciey has somo ad vantages but we have too much of it ; a little too much ritual sometimes; too much time ceitainly lost in conferring useless degrees. The man who hates shams will find a fow there ; the man who means business will be weaned sometimes ; the one who considers timo an object will lose some there. We could suggest some little amendments to sim plify and solidify the Grange that we be lieve would make it stronger and entitle it to greater public consideration. learn what measures might bo adopted , OKJ7 fAUrt'tf Tr.ST TItlAT,. .... v .... iwdhvwm iuut-i nun juufev iiuiveriui urenn ver rnnir.

At the late session of the National Grange, three amendments to tho Con stitution of our Order Tcre submitted to the State Granges for ratification. The first of these provides that State Granges may hold biennial sessions when in their judgement the interests of the Order can be better served thereby. Much can be said on both sides of this question against it, as, first the more frequently any oiganization meets, the better and more general the interest and usefulness. This has been seen in the meetings ol subordinate urangen ; tno' j, . than wliich meet regularly each week aie tlm farms of best, second The suborumatc ui.uige in the State will loose the inspiration usually given by the State Grange ses sions, should it meet biennially. Third There -would be difficulty in getting Constitutional amendments ratified, tak me two vears to cet an amendment through when only part of State Granges meet each year. On the other side, the cost of the Stnte Grange session could be saved and ex pended in sending lecturers into the field and sending out documents and papers, This is a good argument lor the change. "We say let the States have the liberty to try the plan, but may thfey all remember to be wise supplying the stimulus needed in the absence ot annual meetings. The biennial sessions should come on the year of the election of officers. The second amendmcntls to chanee the words" "religious a'nd.political" in to benefit Subordinate Granzes. and that KftKIIIK IlKlsifllll. "?'". ! ?'"

Hut this answor is too tho desire for infdrmat: the question, repeated remaps the best answ journal of proceed be printed and distributed to all the Sub ordinate grnnges that have paid tho State Granges. Still thero is another answer which may servo the present purpose The National Grange, in which thcro were presf nt fifty representatives of tho State Granges, lcncwed its zeal. Tho members after the session had closed returned to their homes imbued with earnest pur pose to do for the constituencies thoy rep resent whatever work might tend to the advancement of the Order The session was harmonious and not a sinclo mem ber had at the closo 'one sentiment of ill will for any of his associates. Thoso who have naked he question: What did the National Grango do? will hardly expect extended answer, but tne oppor tunity suggests that it is well to remind them that the National Grange has not power to do a great deal for Subordinate Granges except as these bodies co-operate in efforts directed by tho parent body. Roal work, real advancement must havo its origin in the Subordinate Granges which are the life and soul of the Ordor. In these let every member render such service as may be in his power and tho National Granco will in its next session have a day of rejoicing.- Husbandman.' The Balance' of Power. Tho New York Evening Tost sh"vs, in a well-written editorial, that the bal ance of political power is in the hands of the independent voters. It says : "For the presidential contest tho inde pendent vote is absolutely free of both parties, and neither of the great parties can count upon it surely next year except by putting in the field such candidates avowing such principles as will meet in pependent demands." Would it not be well then for both of tho parties to heed tho lessons taught them in the past two -years, and no longer consider "a nomination equivalent to an election." Would it bo well then for all true, patriotic .freemen to riso above the slavery of party and voe as they usually woik for their principles and their interests, which causo will '-promote the welfare of "the country and manhood." Patrons should use party only so far as it aids them in tho fur thering of tho interests of agriculture, tho checking of corporate greed, and tho regulation and control by law of all del egated power, individual or corporate. Think for yourselves; vote for youv own principles and interests.

This time cannot be earlier than the 9th nor later than the lfith of Nov ember, and .will not come on the week of Thanksgiving, as this year thochange will allow the fctnte Oranges to, ebme of them meet earlier, and riot so many of them have tomeettheBame.week -thus allowing members in one State to attend the meetings in adjoining fi'ates.

When they have learned that it is not economy to own more land thau thoy can till in, the most profitable manner, so that it will nay for the money expend ed in keeping i' free from taxes, weeds and other encumbrances, they will hae solved the problem of caso in a farmer's life. The happiest and thriftiest farmers tti have ecr known lived on farms of one hundred acres some on onlv ten acres, overy foot of which was made to count. On the other hand, the farmer who has so many broad acres that he cannot walk over them daily, where rods of fenco corners aro neer cultivated or 'made of any use, lives a life of anxiety and worry. His taxes aie heavy nnd his crops light. Ho cannot, give reasonably thorough culti vation to such land. Now, if the farmer who owns one hundred acres of land will sell half of it and expend the money received for it in cultivating the other fifty, getting blooded stock, and poultry, fertilizers, etc., he can make each aero produce as much as two acres are doing now. His taxes will be les, his circs less, and his gains vastly greater. What rodder will Do. It is now stated as a well-know n fact, that in different breeds of thesame species the same fodder produce' a yery differ ent effect. All experimenthitherto, how ever, have failed to show any notable dif ferences of digestive power in such cases. and it would thus appear that the observ ed differences are due to the varying en ergy with which the constituents of the body are oxidized. In an experiment with two mature sheep, a Southdown and a Merino, on identical rations, from which identical amounts of the several nutrients were digested, Wiske 'ound that the ap parent gain of "liesh" (nitrogenous mat ter) was greatest in the Merino sheep ; but this dinerence was bomewnat more than covered by the greater growth of wool. So far as thi single experiment nroves anvtnim:. it shows that not only the digestive powers, but also the pro teid metabolinn of differnt breeds of shpep aft essentially tho same, and in di cite that the differences in the cases of fattening aie due to diffciencein the rapidity with which qon-nitrogenon. sub ftancei! are oxidized in the body.
