There should he close relationship between school and grange. teacher In a rural district should. If there la ench an organisation as the grange In OKOKOE W. Y. OA CRT. Worthy Master of tho New Jersey state grange. the community, become a member and make the Interests of the farmer his Interests and In every way possible help to make such organization Inspir ing and a success. If there Is no such organization, a little effort on his part mlglU make It possible to organize one In his community. If the meetings can tu lnndo Interesting, educational and sociable and thcr'o Is plenty of enthusi asm among tho members, there is lit tle doubt about the older members of the school Joining the grange. In fact, they seem to look forward to tho time when they will be old enough and eli gible to membership. The grange furnishes an excellent opportunity for tho teacher to form tho acquaintance of the parents, and the closer the teacher conies In touch with parents the better he will under stand his pupils. Then if there are any school matters that the teacher wishes to discuss with the parents or the par ents with tho teacher tho grango meet Ing furnishes an opportunity. The above sentiments are thoso of n school teacher communicated to tho Michigan Farmer and are worthy of tho consideration of every rural teacher who may read these lines. ADVANTAGE IN ASSOCIATION The Grange Helps Fnrmers to Keep Ont of the lints. The grange should be a great help to the man or woman who Is trying to ex tend hie or her horizon, and it Is Just such, people who leave their impress upon tho world. The peoplo who do not strlvo to broaden themselves get Into a rut. Tho world has little uso for these who stop growing, no matter what their age may be. It is the fuller Hfe, the broader experience, the deeper culture, which enrich civilization, and these we get In our association togcth er. Every occupation Is crowded with men who have stopped growing, and ngrlculturo Is no exception men who have got into ruts and cannot gut out. Such men do not benefit the world much and are not missed when they retire from active life. It Is tho men who learn the secret of wise living, mon who are broader than the bread and butter question, that the world wants, and the grange is striving to make more such men. The Grange In Maine. Mr. O. Gardner, master of the Maine state grange, says that at the close of 1902 there were 318 subordinate grang es In Maine, of which 178 own their halls, whllo nineteen more wero build lng halls. Tho value of the 178 balls with their furnishlugs Is put at ?3i,V 380, an average of more than $2,000 apiece; tho vuluo of tho real estate owned by subordinate granges Is $.9, 000, making a total value of $4"i2,330 for subordinate grango property in Maine. Tho membership is 35,000, averaging 150 to each grange. Three Maine granges have more thuu OCX) members each, whllo several have more than COO. ( The grango teaches kindness to aul- mals. Tho grango at Montville, t., practices It. That grango has built a commodious Ktnblo iu connection with iUt hull improvements which accom modates thirty-two horses. What tho grange has been and has done are worthy of study and praise, But tho past Is ouly an earnest of a much worthier future. Our best his tory is yet to bo made. American Orange Bulletin.

WATER FOR THE BEES. thrr Xeed It and the Wise Apiarist W III Sff That It Is Always Within Their llrach. It seems u little out of season to talk about wntprinir your bees, If, as In a good many localities, they are snugly housed in the cellar at the present moment. However, it is well to anticipate their until. Indeed, there may not be any anticipation iu the case vtiiere the bees are wintered out of (lours. Juttt as soon us there comes u day warm enough for them to fly, one of the first things they will do Is to sttirt In search of water, says n writer In the lice Journal. llees are hurt! drinkers, and it is a matter of some Importance that they have easy uccci to plenty of pure water without being obliged to fly some distance to secure It. Especial ly is this true in teh early spring, when cold wind anil sudden changes in temperature work such havoc with our bees. Water they must have, and if they do not have it supplied near home they must seek It clue where. More bees are lost In spring by flying some distance, becoming chilled, and never getting back to their hive, than some bco-kccpcr are awure of. We don't want anything that will Induce them to take long flights, much les anything that will oblige them to. llees are largely creatures of habit, and when once they have established a drinking place it is not so ensy to change them from it. And one of their fa vorite selections Is the watering tank, en using much annoyance to stock, and to the people taking care of our stock ns well. It Is also a great nuisance to have them around the w.ell or cistern pump. Kspecially is this the case if there are small children In the family. All this bother may be nvoided if we select their drinking place for them, and pet them started in the right place before they have learned to go anywhere else. This Is not dif cult to do. A large jar filled with water, with a number of pieces of wood put into it, for the bees to alight upon (if they nre somewhat rotten all the better), Is all that Is needed to make a good watering place. If this jar Is kept supplied with wnter, after the bees once get started there will be no more trouble about their bothering you anywhere else. It is a good' plan to put n little salt Into It once in awhile Then it wjll not be a breeding plnce for mosquitoes, and the bees seem to like it better when It is W little salty. Bee Journal. SHELTER FOR CHICKENS. Make a Oorrr for the Coop and Afford the Ilird Protection A train at Snn and Itndn. Hero Is an easily-made protection for the chicken coop against both sun and rain. Drive into the ground two bits of board, and nail a cross strip A SHELTERED COOP. to the top of each. Across the top stretch a piece of tarred paper, or red resin-slzed building paper, and tack it as shown. Make this cover large enough, to protect the hen and chicks in ease a sudden shower comes up. Farm Journal. POULTRY YARD POINTERS. Barrels on their side are not ideal coops for young chicks. Eggs cannot be produced without al trogenous material in some shape. Eggs from over-fat hens, if they hatch at all, are apt to produce weak lings. Many a farmer would do better if he plowed less acres and raised more chickens. Coops without bottom moved dally make healthful places in which to raise young chicks. To keep disease away from the fowls, keep everything perfectly clean where they are kept. Feather pulling is often the result of confinenieivt in idleness. Give the hens something to do. Keep the outside doors and windows of the poultry house closed during rain or snowstorm. Playful dogs in the hen yard do not add to the comfort or peace of the hens. Keep the dog out. Hens with froen combs will not produce eggs till the Sores are healed do not expect them to. Bowel trouble that carries olf many chicks when one or two weeks old may' be often corrected by talc ing away their drinking water and giving scalded milk instead. Com mercial Poultry. The Music of llie llee. The honey bee is mi excellent co worker on the farm, even if he is not absolutely necessary to the polleniz- Ing of fruits. I ho bee can be denied many of the advantages it is claimed to possess and still be worth much more than the little labor required to care for it. The niuslo alone of the busy hive compensates many for the trouble it costs, to say nothiiig of its garnered sweets, that make of good bread and butter a morsel fit for the gods. Midland Farmer. GRANGE NilWS. By J. T. Ailman, Press Correspondent and Socretary Penn'a. Slata Grange. Valley GratiRe, No 846, War ren Co., have re-papered and re painted their hall this spring. New York has 22 grange fire nsuranee companies, carrying risks aggregating $58,738,632.00'. Last year the cost aveiaged $2.20 per $icoo.oo. A good laugh is better than medi cine or advice tor tired people. The Grange must help to make the labors of this life cheerful. It is an old lesson, but it needs constant repetition and frequent enforcement. T. W. Darrow. Prss Correspond- A. cut, of New York State Grange, says : "A good grange meeting is not only a pleasant and sociable occasion, but it is something that will promote intelligence and in crease the knowledge of those who osire to train intorm.ition on all practical subjects which are ot value to the agricultural classes." Whatever farmers are doing ns farmers should interest every farmer. That the farmers of our neighborhood are able to maintain an organization, hold successful meetings regularly, and make the social and educational conditions of the community better, do business in a business way and save money by co-operatiug should move other farmers to do likewise. Worthy State Lecturer. A. M. Cornell, of Altus. Bradford Co.. writes. " An unusual number of calls for lecture work for this sea son of the year denotes general activity in the order. lie must de cline many invitations on account ol previous engagements. He adds. I -c-n A verv successful Pomona session held with Columbia Grange No. 83, israaiora co., ciosea yesterday. Donation Grange No. 330 Hun tingdon Co. met in regular session April 25.

Morse, of Maine, have been secured to attend these meetings during the month ol August. Bro. Morse has a wide and enviable reputation as an elo cutionist and an entertainer. His presence will add much to the pleas ure of the meetings. He will be ac companied by one or more grange speakers. The farmer by the nature of his occupation is isolated. Isolation rusts. Contact brightens. To meet the competition and the corabma tious of the present day. The farm er needs to have his wits sharpen ed. No one doubts that the sue cessiui larmer uses bis brains as well as his hands. The Grange fur nishes the opportunity for the larm ers of a community to get together Exchange of ideas, giving expert ences and discussing subjects quick en thought. The plodding farmer does not belong to the Grange. The work the grange is doing in the country is a work that needs to be done. It is a work the schools are uol fitted to do; that the church es are not organized to perform that institutes and farmer's clubs will never be able to accomplish. Let all other associations fulfil their proper functions, but do not let anyone make you believe for a moment that the Grange has not great mission, the task of making country lite nobler and more enjoy able and country people better citi zeus and better neighbors, richer in all that makes life worth living. Lincoln Grange No. 914, Hun tingdon Co., met in special session on March 31, for initiation when class of four very desirable members presented themselves. The 1st and 2nd degrees were conferred. The grange then closed to meet in regu lar session on April 10. Lincoln Grange No. 914 met in regular session at 7.30 p. in., April 10. The class of 7 presented tliem se'ves for the 3rd and 4th degrees. At the close of the 4th degree the sisters had a bountiful feast pre pared which was very much enjoy ed by all present. Almost all the members being present. Since we have moved into our new home it is a pleasure to confer degrees. We have several more applications on hand at present to be taken in the near future. B0Y3 GET A BERKSHIRE BILL FARM. The State Committee of the Young Men's Christian Associations 01 Massachusetts and Rhode Island have been prejented with a two hundred acre farm in the Berkshire Hills near Holvoke and D.ilton, to be used as a lummer camping resort for the boys of the Associations of these states. The farm is situated at a high poir.t in the Iktkshtre Hills and has a front age of three quarters of a nnlc on Rush Pond, 1,500 feet above sea level. It will be made a vacation re sort for boys between the ages of twelve and twenty. The several parties will be limited to 100 at a time, and will be in charge of the physical directors, 1 secretaries and boys' leaders of the Associations. This society has evolved in the past twenty years a rematkahlc system to give the boys all the freedom they need to have a rattling good time and yet be under wholesome discipline and supervision, so that accidents and illness are almost unheard of n these 1 ramps. Expenses are remiceo to a minimum, averaging between four and five dollars a week. The same State Committee re ceived two years ago the gift from Miss Frances Moody of an island on the coast of Maine. Here there is a fl;et of thirty boats, a steam launch, a dining pavilion with large fireplace, baseball field, etc , capable of accom modating 150 boys at one time. These camps, together with the two or three hundred other Association camps in different parts of the country, accommodate between 5,000 and 7,000 boys each year. Several of the Canadian Associations own or con trol lakes and camp in log cabins. New York boys have their camp on Lake Champlain and New Jersey boys at Lake Wawayanda. The Phila delphia Association has a iartn of 467 acres within twentv-two miles of the city. Cleveland had 500 boys 'ast summer in its boys reservation, an attractive old farm through which a river runs; besides taking a large party on a gypsy trip from Lake Erie to the Ohio River. At these camps every eight or ten boys are accompa nied by a robust, companionable, Christian leader. Pennsylvania Rail road boys, of Philadelphia, raised $700 and had their own sail boat built for their camp at Atlantic City. These camps are of inestimable value to the city boy, who can enjoy a vacation and be trained in . camp and athletic life amid surroundings which make for manliness, sell-reliance, courage and strength. Were the equipment and means available, the Association could easily operate camps accom modating 50,000 boys. Two Babies Found Dead in a Goal Car- The Crew ol a Newberry Freight Train Made a Ghastly Discovery. The crew of a Newberry freight on the Reading railroad tell of a ghastly find while their train was north bound near Locust Gap. While a brakeman was in the performance of his duties, he was astonished to discover the bodies of two babies lying in the cor ner of a coal car. They were wrapped in a piece of carpet, and the children were evidently twins, the train was stopped and the babies were buried in a nearby culm bank. When the matter was reported to Coroner Dreher of Shamokin that official has tened to the scene for the purpose of exhuming the bodies. It was discov ered that one of the dead bodies had strangely disappeared. The other child was given a decent burial. The authorities at Shamokin an nounced yeslerday that the car m which the babies were found came from Tamaqua and it is believed that the bodies were thrown in it at some intervening point.
