Henry Keiser a blacksmith of Reading has an odd way of foretell ing the weather. For 25 years he has used the same anvil, and under neath this anvil small ants have made their .home. Mr. Keiser claims that for 21 years he has pre dicted the weather by their actions, ne says that spring is now well at hand, and that therejwill be no more snow or cold weather. His reason for this is that on Saturday the ants made their appearance for the first timn, and he says that during the 21 years that he has been telling the weather by the first appearance of the ants he has not missed it a single time in his predictions. Friday last found the editor of this paper epjoying a few hours on Chip pewa farm, the home of M. E. Reed er, near Hughesville. There are few people in this county who have not heard of Chippewa, both through the popularity of the owner and the extensive advertisement given to the large lime kilns there located which command a large patronage from all our neighboring counties. Mr. Reeder has recently added ;several acres to Ms already large estate, and is now stocking the farm with regis tered Jersey cattle. This valuable estate has been greatly neglected for years past, but In the short space of time it has been in the possession of Mr. Reeder there has been a multi tude of changes going on. This year will see many more improvements about the place. Old buildings will be removed, and larger and better equiped ones will take their place. Concentration with ample capacity is the law of order manifested. We shall make another visit to Chippe wa when the mechanics have com pleted their work and will bring in use a kodak to coax some of its scenery around on glass and have them transferred to these columns, and show our husbandry readers theadvantages of farming in a busi nwsl ike way. I THE GRANGE 1 ~ Conducted by J. ▼> DAWOV, Prut v,„uo»n*u* M— r«r» Mi GRANGE PRINCIPLES. Dlffaltr of Ukof, Fair DMltif and Good ClllKßahlp. We have nowhere seen a better pres entation of the principles and purposes of tho grange than the following In the American Agriculturist by Mr. J. A. Herr: The character of the grange member ship and their faith in the Order are such as jive permanence to the organisation. The effect of united grange effort la seen and felt In the legislature and other bene fits secured in the Interest of the farmer, along all lines of work. The dairyman, the fruit grower, the stock breeder and the poultryman have all been benefited through the efforts of the grange. A greater degree of Intelligence is manifest among the farmers as a result of grange meetings and their outgrowth, the farm ers' institutes of today. Extortion among dealers has been checked, and a cash basis for doing business is encouraged, with beneficial results. The grange organization stands entirely for good. The principles are dignity of la bor, honest dealing, justice to ail, courage, temperance, thoroughness, peaceful citi zenship. charity and unspotted character. Can there be nobler principles than these? The grange encourages advanced educa tion and seeks to elevate not only Its membership, but the community In which It exists to a higher plane of culture, re finement and social standing. Social scan dals are seldom found within its ranks. Its teachings are of the purest and high est character, like that of family refine ment and intellectuality. If the grange comes short of this, then the principles and precepts of the Order are not faith fully observed. The benefits of a good, active working grange are evidenced by an Increased in terest In the farm and home, a greater de gree of social culture and enjoyment, an advanoe along the lines of higher educa tion and an Independence and thrift which should be the inheritance of every farmer. These facts appeal to all persons Interested in sgrlculture. in all its varied departments, to unite with tho grange and assist in advancing its objects as well as to share its benefits. THE GRANGE AT WORK. Petitions That Filled Barrels Wfcea the Antl-o BUI Was Up. In the year 1890, when the oleo ques tion was being agitated, the grange thought It about time that we as an or ganization began to do something to protect our Interests; therefore we pass ed some resolutions that we would take up what Is known as the Grout bill and would uae the forces of organisation on it to Bee what could be brought about. Itosolutlona were drawn and presented to the subordinate granges, and It was the greatest surprise the Order ever had to know that inside of six weeks from the time of the presentation of these resolutions the replies came In to the legislative office in Washington tn such numbers that they actually filled barrels. Nothing from their con stituencies bad aver caused such a rev elation to the minds of the members of congress as this did, and what lias been the reßult? The result was that we made a determined fight from that time on and won. We did it through the grange, the recognized farmers' organ ization. The dairymen's associations are today interested, the horticultural ■oeieties, the department of agriculture at Washington and in our own State and in almost every state are working hand in hand with the grange. It is one of the most influential organiza tions In the country today.—E. B. Nor rio, Master New York State Orange. HEARTILY ENDORSED, Nothing Succeeds So Like Success. Those who use Dr. A. W. Chase's Nerve Pills as a nerve and general tonic —as a rebuilder—as a medicine to give renewed strength—energy and vigor r">ver fail to sound their prasie to others. Morras Connell of No. 942, 2nd St. Williamsport, Pa., says:—" I had been feeling a little run down and nervous foi a long time. I did not rest very well and lacked my usual vigor and energy. I got some of Dr. A. W. Chase's Nerve Pills and used them with good results. Thsy acted as a good tonic and after using them I rested better and felt better in every way. I can recommend them highly." Dr. A. W. Chase's Nerve Pills are sold at 50c a box at dealers or I)r. A.W.Chase Medicine Co., Buffalo, N. Y. See that portrait and signature of A. W. Chase, M- D. are on every package.
