The simplest facts, quite nnchal

Coming Field Meetings.
The seasou for field meetings is ap
proaching, and much efficient work can
be done for the building up of granges
throughout the state at these public
gatherings. We believe that the ad
dresses on these occasions should not
be of too general a nature. They are
for the benefit of the grange, ana
speakers should talk grange. They may
recite-what the grange has accomplish
ed and maka a strong appeal at every
such meeting for the farmers to be
come members of the only farmers' or
ganization that Is worth while. Let
there be plenty of music and make
much of the social features after the
speaking ls over and before. Do not
expect audiences to stand for hours
and listen to addresses, but rather see
that seats and benches are provided.
Convenience has much to do with the
size of the audience sometimes.
Japan's Interest In Horses.
The Breeder's Gazette. Chicago,.
quotes a cablegram, as follows t
"Horse racing has lately been intro
duced into Japan with great success,
and with an ulterior motive. As is well
known, the cavalry was the weakest
arm of the Japanese forces during thtt
late war. and its lack of success is at
tributed to the poor quality of its
horses. With their usual practical
sease the Japanese have realized that
the most effective way of creating a
fine breed of horses is to eucouruge
horse racing as practiced in westora
countries. Accordingly the government
is doing everything possible for the ad
vancement of equine sport, and the
idea has been taken up by the people
with a fervor which springs as much
from patriotism as from a love of sport
perhaps more. More than 200 race
tracks have' been Sanctioned in Japan
since the movement started. In hep
next war Japan means to have a caval
ry force which will be second to none
in the matter of mounts."
