After oil, tho only thing which Oo4 gave to man wns tho earth. From It comes nil wealth. It has been placed nowhere else. It must bk dug out of the soil In sericulture or wrought out of mines. AH things spring from the soil, nnd nil things must return to It. Whatever else happens, whether pan ics come or national convulsions occur, though syndicates nnd trusts may cor ner production, yet the soil remains, nnd from It everything necessary to man's sustenance enn be gained. Condition depends upon character far more than character upon condi tion, nnd tho usefulness of the resi dent of the country, like thnt of the city, Is dependent upon faithfulness to duty.

State Mnstcr II ill nt the thirtieth an nual Bcsslon of the I'enusylvnnlu state grange mnde a strong pleu for co-operation of granges with the agricultural colleges nnd experiment stations nnd urged a general display of the products of the state at the world's fair, St. Lou Is, In 1004. Referring to the vexed taxation ques tion, State Master 11111 stated that the personal property of his state Is valued at $3,859,500,000 and pays taxes aggre gating $12.1:12.500, making n mileage rate of 34 mills. Iteal estate has a val uation or $2,770,800,000 nnd for the same period pays taxes amounting to $48,783,500, or an average mileage rnto of a little over 17 mills. The contrast is striking. Everything the farmer has in sight Is taxed as real estate. Tntrons feel that better roads cannot come too soon provided that the burden of building and maintaining Is not, as In the past, thrown upon farmers. We bnve for years stood rendy to Join forces on a fair basis with the other In terests of the state In securing them. Patrons were urged to make more general use xf banks for the deposit of their money and to use checks as a me dium for mnklng payments. A bank account gives farmers standing. It Is a great inspiration to keep it good and to make It larger. It develops business acumen nnd often saves money. A lar ger use of checks would save farmers thousands of dollars lit the one item of sending money by mall. American Ag riculturist The Grange a Peacemaker. The master of a subordinate grange writes: "We owe more to the grange in our community than we can estimate. Two years ngo we first organized. Be foro this our community was divided into two factions, caused by the lead ership of two rival neighbors. They all Joined the grange nnd nre now on good terms and peaceable. At first tho meetings were a little cold, but tho more frequently they met the more friendly they grew till now no discord can be found. I attribute it to the touching and sentiment of the grange." This is only one of the many In stances of the kind that have come un der my own observation," says a writer In the National Stockman. The grange in affording oppoitunltles for associa tion and culture gives these individuals something to do, and thus their ener gies can be expended in good work, .and their desire for contention with their neighbors ceases. The 1,000 ton barge canal bill passed the New York state legislature, but was earnestly fought at every stugo by the state grunge legislative committed and other ofllclals and members of Uie Order. Now for the popular voto on It. tr, rather, against It. A live granger writes: "If I belonged to a dying or dead grange, I would hunt the death microbe and kill him. Death, save of superstition, error, igno rance, Is very unpopular these days." Tho northern New York granges are to make "grange day" at Thousand Islund park, on tho St. Lawrence, an occasion of uuusuul interest this year. , The grange has tho proud distinction of securing more state and . national laws in the interests of agriculture than all other organizations combined. New York state has been increasing her grange membership very rapidly since Jun. 1. FARM WATER SUPPLY. Ohio rnrmer I)rcrlle n 9 Mem Thnt Hits Hern t sell for Tenrs Willi Orent Wneress.

My stock tanks nre nwny from buildings far enough so I can heat them with tank heater and a little coal. C. Ottgen, in Ohio Farmer. A Toast to the Horse. The Baltimore Sun says the follow ing toast to the ever-faithful friend of man, the beautiful and noble horse, copied from the wall of n Maryland stable nnd published in the Rider and Driver, Is of unknown ori gin, but is worthy of perpetuation: "Here's to that bundle of sentient nerves, with the henrt of a woman, the eye of a gazelle, the courage of a gladiator, the docility of a slave, the proud carriage of a king, and the blind obedience of a soldier; the companion of the desert plain, thnt turns the moist furrows in the spring In order that nil the world may have abundant harvest, thut fur nishes the sport of kings, that with blazing eye and distended nostril fearlessly leads our greatest gener als through enrnage and reiiown, whoseblood forms one of the ingredi ents that go to make the ink in which all history Is written, and who final ly, in black trappings, pulls the hum blest of us to the newly godded threshold of eternity." Teach the Pisa to Eat. lie sure and give the pigs plenty of exercise, and as soon as possible the little pigs should be taught to ent. 15y providing a little pen where in they can get cracked corn and sweet milk, they will soon be able to get away with lots of feed and will transform it into bone nnd flesh, thereby decreasing tho drain on the sow. If the sow does not lose in flesh they should bo allowed to suckle for eight weeks; but this must be governed by conditions. One of the great secrets of success ful hog raising Is to watch both ends of the hog nnd feed neeording ly. Farmers' Kovicw. Variety In Horse lintlons. As a man grows tired of the same food day after day, so does a horse, lie appreciates a change of diet, and is in every way better for having it. When horses are on grass, their di gestive organs are kept la order, and nothing beyond one feed of oats a day Is required, but In the winter, when they are confined so large a part of the time, they should have warm mashes once a day, with a quart or so of chopped carrots mixed therein twice a week. In se vere weather tho water for all stock should have the chill taken oil it. Rural World. What Corn Wheat Is. The corn-wheat that has been ex ploited from the northwest is nothing more nor less than a macaroni wheat with a large berry. From the tests conducted throughout the state by the Nebraska experiment station, it Is safe to say that macaroni wheats yield bet ter than other spring varieties, but we have no data of comparison with win ter wheat. The Russian varieties are superior In yield, the average being 21.8 kuaiwU per acre, f M1 i if1 GRANGE NEWS- By J. T. Ailman, Press Correipondont and Secretary Penn'a. Slate Grango. Donation Grange No. 330, Hun tingdon county, is in fine working ing order, better than it has been for a long time. Geo. K. Cornelius, Sec. Four new granges were organ ized in Pennsylvania during the month of April: No. 1232 Mercer Co. No. 1234 Armstrong Co. No. 1235 Clarion Co. No. 1236 McKean Co. Sixteen new granges have been organized in this State since Jan uary I, 1903. Tiro. G. R. Stifiler, Sec. of .Scotch Valley Grange, No. 510, Blair county, writes: " We have recent ly initiated 7 members and have a class of 5 more for next meeting with prospects of a larger number in the near future." A strong dis position to improve in music and literary work has developed. A new organ was recently purchased and paid for. THE SUBORDINATE ORANGE. The subordinate grange is a link in the great chain now stretching trom ocean to ocean, binding hun dreds of thousands of the men and women of the farm in a fraternal body and by sacred obligation to put forth every effort to -raise the standard of intelligence among the tillers of the soil and secure a just distribution of the burdens of society, as well ns of the fruits of our labor. O. Gardner. Bro. D. B. McWilliams, of Port Royal, Pa., member of the Finance Committee, while out on Farmer's Institute work, had for one of his talks: "Education Through Orga nization." This subject as present ed by him, is spoken of by those who heard him as presenting very strong and forcible arguments why Farmers Should Organize. He ap peals to the reason and argue9 logical)-. Pomona and subordinate granges wanting a speaker for pri vate or public occasions should cor respond with him at P6rt Royal, Pa. Sandy Lake Grange No. 393, Mercer Co., Pa., was organized Dec. 7, 1874, with 23 charter mem bers. Hard times drove this grange into dormancy in 1880 and it slept for nearly 22 years. Some of the members never lost their first love and they longed for the benefits and pleasures they once enjoyed. Worthy Deputy, D. W. Burnett was notified and on Jan. 24, 1902 he, with Worthy State Master W. F. Hill, reorganized the Grange with 20 charter members. Not one member has withdrawn since the reorganization. New ones have been added from time to time until the membership is now over forty. T. J. Booher. April 4, 1903, was a record breaking day for Standing Stone Grange No. 354 of Bradford Co. The meeting was called to order at 11 a. m. and the 4th degree was conferred on a class of 8 prominent citizens. At 12.30 all gathered around the tables and all enjoyed a sumptuous feast. At 2:30 the work of the day was again resumed and the new members were shown the full workings of the 4th degree. Two old members have been re instated and a number of other new members are in sight. This grange organized 29 years ago has been lor a long time one of the weak granges. It now bids favor to take a place among the strong ones. Our rejoicing is clouded by the death ot Brother Achatius Stevens, a charter member, who has been faithful and active in the order since 1874. W. B. Taylor. The principle of Direct Legisla tion through the Initiative and Re ferendum is of late attracting wide spread attention. Many thinking men regard it as the hope of the republic. Under it ours would truly be a government of the people, by the people. Through it the people can, by petition, secure the consideration of any measure in whfch they may be interested and by the same means they can require any bill passed by the legislature to be voted upon by the people before it becomes a law. The states of South Dakota and Oregon have by amendments to their constitutions adopted the Ini tiative and Referendum. In the latter state the Grange was one of the main factors in securing it. Since last November the State Granges of Illinois, Wisconsin, West Virginia, Minnesota and Rhode Island have gone on record as favoring it. Granges every where' should discuss it until all be come informed as to the principle and its possibilities. I NEW LAWS. RELATING TO CATC1IINO EELS.
