GRANGE PRINCIPLES.
Dignity of l.nhor, 1'alr Dmllng and
Uooil ( lllrpnxhlit.
We linvp nowhere seen u bettor pres
entation of tin principles mid purposes
of tlio KraiiRp than tho following in tlm
American AKrieiiltiiriMt by Mr. J. A.
llerr:
The character of the grange member
fililp and their faith In the Order are uch
as give prrmanenco to the organization.
The effect of united grnngu effort Is Been
nd felt In the leglBlature and other bene
fit secured In tho Intercut of the farmer,
long all linen of work. Tho dairyman,
' the fruit grower, the atock breeder and the
poultryman have all been brnellted
through tho efforts of the grange. A
greater degree of Intelligence la manifest
among the farmers as a result of grange
meetings and their outgrowth, the farm-era-
Institutes of today. Kxtortlon among
dealers has been cheeked, and a cnsli
bonis for doing business Is encouraged,
with benellcliil results.
The grange organization stnnds entirely
for good. The principles are dignity of la
bor, honest dealing. Justice to all, courage,
temperance, thoroughness, peaceful clll
aenshlp, 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 tho 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 grango
comes short of this, then the principle
and precepts of the Order are not faith
fully observed.
The benefits of n good, actls'c working
(range are evidenced by an Increased In
terest In tho farm and home, a greater de
gree of social culture and enjoyment, an
advance 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 agriculture, in all Its varied
departments, to unite with the grange and
assist In advancing Its objects ua well us
to share Its benefits.
THE GRANGE AT WORK.
Petitions That l ilted llnrrela When
the Anti-o lllll Was I p.
In Hit your 1 .still, when the olco iiuen
tlon wiih Ix-Iiik iicltntiMl, tho fcrnnno
thought It nliotit time that we its 1111 or
ganization Ix'Kiiu to do sotucthliiK to
protect our Interests; therefore wo pass
ed some resolutions that wo would take
up what Is known as the Grout hill and
would use the forces of organization on
It to boo what could lie brought about,
lie-solutions were drawn anil presented
to tho subordinate graiiKi'M, IIHI it was
the Kroatest surprise the Order over
had to know that Inside of six weeks
from tho time of tho presentation of
those resolutions tho replies eume In
to tho legislative ollleo In Washington
In such numbers that they actually
filled barrels. Nothing from their con
stituencies had over caused such a rev
elation to the minds of the members of
congress as this did, and what has been
tho result? The result was that we
undo n determined light from that time
on and won. Wo did It through the
prango, the recognized farmers' organ
Izntlon. Tho dairymen's associations
are today Interested, the horticultural
societies, tho department of agrlciilturo
at Washington anil in our own state
and In ulmost every state are working
hand In hand with the grange. It Is
one of the most intliicnliul organlzti
tiotit) In the country today. K. It. Nor-
rls, Master New York State Grange.
The Grange In Minnesota.
The subordinate granges In Minneso
ta are nourishing, and a heulthy growth
Is everywhere manifest. There is some
opposition manifest by people who
i won Id use the grunge for their own
purpose, but faithful members are work
ing lu season und out of sen son to block
such schemes.
It Is the farm that murks our prog
rcss; It Is the barometer of our prosper
Ity and commands for us our proud po
sition that we occupy among our sister
states. Farming Is no longer n mere
trade, but an art requiring Industry
and intelligent skill to make it a suc
cess. Thunks to the Order of Tutrona
of Husbandry, In Minnesota means are
provided which will enable farmers to
acquire this art and skill. Our agricul
tural college stands at the head of all
such Institutions as to quality and ex
tent of work. Mrs. S. O. Rulrd, Mas
ter Minnesota State Grange.
Illinois Slate tirange.
At the last session of the Illinois
state grange resolutions were adopted
in favor of central township schools; to
give No. 2 corn Its former grade .in
grain Inspection system; for parcels
post and postal savings banks; agalust
one tent letter postage until the rural
delivery Is fully established; for the
people to Initiate and ratify Important
legislation; agalust ship subsidy; to
run n a go state Institutions under civil
service rules; (for highway control of
motor vehicles; people to elect United
States senators; for government con
trol of monopolistic corporations; for
the isthmus and Inland ship canals; for
pure food and anti-shoddy laws; f ir re
clprocul treaties to widen foreign grain
markets; to enlarge powers of the in
terstato commerce commission.
It Is well for us to consider In our
fraternal relations that our happiness
as well as the happiness of others de-
ponds upon our belief in the goodness
of bad people n lot more than It does
on our bellof In the badness of good
people. tieorgo A. I' tiller.

In tho grange are directly fiuanelul, but
the principal advantages are social and

AN EFFECTIVE HOTBED.
Valnnlile snggestlons for Formers
Who Are llilnklnw of Ulvlnic
GardenliiK a I'alr Trial,
The location for a good hotbed
needs to be chosen with some cure;
it should be sheltered by tree or by
a guod, broad fence on the north
ide. This fence should be six nnd one
half feet high, and is usually built
leaning back about MX inches from
perpendicular at the top so that mats,
sashes or shutters leaned up against
the fence will not so readily bo
blown down by the wind. The land
should nlope n little to the smith or
southeast, and the beds tdiould be
either level or of even prude from
end to end in order to run the planks
straight from one end to the other.
Th bed should face southeast, smith
or southwest, according to the lay of
the land.
The best material for heat in fresh
horse manure from a stable where
AKUANGEMENTOF HOT1IKD.
Hot lew than eight horses are kept,
well fed with grain. The manure
should be piled up near the bed un
til enough is ready. It will need a,
coril of manure for each ten or 15
sashes. If not needed immediately,
it should be pitched over frequently,
to prevent burning. When ready the
manure should be forked into the
bed. not dumped, and well trodden
down as it is placed in the pit, until
the required amount is in place. Then
II. should be immediately covered
with the loam and the sashes placed
on the frame, and over them the
mats, if the weather Is cold.
In about two days after being made
up the bed will attain it.s greatest
degree of heat if everything works
well, perhaps !I0 to 115 degrees. After
this, the heat will gradually decline,
nnd after four weeks will usually be
about 50 to 00 degrees. The deeper
the manure is packed in the bed the
higher will be the heat nnd the long
er will it bo retained. When beds are
started in January nnd February, it
is needful to make them considerably
deeper than in March and April. In-
d 1, after April 13 heat is hardly
needed at all except for cucumbers.
The frames for hotbeds are usually
put in order in the fall before the
ground freezes, and nre covered with
leaves or other litter deeply enough
to prevent freezing. Whenever they
nre wanted the pit is dug out in sec
tions about .six feet at a time, throw
ing back the surface loom to the
depth of six inches upon the section
already tilled with manure, and then
carting away whatever more is need
ed in order to make the pit of the
required depth.
Til,! advantages In building beds In
this manner over the method of
building them above ground are that
the manure in n pit will retain its
bent better than when exposed to the
wind, and the bed will need far less wa
tering. Hotbeds thus constructed are
used for forcing winter crops of let
tuce nnd radishes, and for starting
seeds of tomatoes, cabbage, lettuce,
peppers, cucumbers and onions for
transplanting to the open field in
April nnd May. In the accompanying
illustration a represents the sash, b
the plank, c loam, d manure, e mats,
nnd g the fence at the back. Orange

SPRING GARDEN WORK.
The garden plot may be cleared off
ami the trash burned before the ground
is in condition to plow.
If you have only a few raspberry
and currant bushe on the place, put
the coal ashes about them.
Good seed, well planted in good soil,
well prepared, seldom fails to grow.
Once up nnd pood culture given, they
generally give satisfactory returns,
riant pood seeds.
llurn all trash f rom the garden; be
sides the tidy appearance given by the
operation an urn old number of insects
und fungi germs will be put beyond the
power of doing damage to the garden
this summer. The ashes will do good,
not harm, to the garden.
Gooseberry and currants muy be
propagated from cuttings Take last
year's growth of wood, stick in well
prepared soil so that two or more buds
nre below the surface. Do this before
I lie buds swell. Keep free from
weeds this season. Next spring you
can transplant, a nice little btibh.
Dun Spraylnu In Favor.
Spraying materials have been ap
plied more or less from the first in the
form of a dry powder, usually diluted
wilh slaked lime, Hour or some other
cheap sub.-lance. This method has
generally been used in treating low
growing plants like potatoes, but in
some sections it lias within the last
few years been given n wider applica
tion and used in combating1 orchard
pe.b'ts. It Is highly recommended by
some of those who have adopted it,
and appears to be of growing impor
tance. It would seem to be of special
value in places where it Is difficult to
get water for the wet method. Several
