The Order of 1'iitroiH of Iliixliniulry
In prlimirlly mxl clilcily nil orgimlssa
tlon of farmer mid tliclr families, It
Is Inteiuled to bo liclpful lo tlicin In
their practical, pvetyduy farm life und
to imike tlicin. ns w ell nn nil vln muy
l0 member of tlm Order. Intelligent,
useful citizens. ,
And yet by a lllmrnl Interpretation of
tho constitution of tlie Order ninny be
sides practical farmer nro ndndtted
Into membership, where It la believed
their. presence mid Intliicnco will
ptrenjjtlion tlm Krauze mid In no way
In antncoiilstlc to It purposes.. How
ever, we believe the charter member
nhlp should bo niado up wholly of
fnrmers. llllor of the noil or landown
ers. This makes the orRurilzutlon
strictly nn agricultural organization.
If then It be deemed best for those not
farmers to bo admitted to member
ship the farmers have the right to say
who shall or shall not bo allowed
within the Kates." One of the most
recently organized jjranKes in New
York Ktnte had a charter membership
of J0;i. and every one was a farmer or
inemW'r of a farmer's family, and It is
their purpose to continue ns they have
begun. The example Is worthy Imita
tion. On the qiicxtlmi of ntness for mem
bership the CraiiKe I'.iilletln remarks
that the rule In the Knmne is that the
master of the subordinate gratme shall
Judge of the eligibility of candidates
for membership, the members being
left to determine by ballot their suit
ability. In other word, it Is the right
nnd tho duty of the master to say
whether the occupation of tho appli
cant shuts bl:n out of tho class for
which the grange was established, nnd
It Is tho right nnd the duty of the
members to say whether the character
of the applicant Is such as to make
hi in undesirable. It Is right that those
should be kept out of the grange
whose business has n decided tendency
to make them antagonistic to its pur
poses. It Is nlso right that evil per
sons should not bo permitted to use
the organization ns n clonk for their
wickedness.
Every organization has an undoubt
ed right to protect Itself against ile
. signing persons. The rules of the
grange give Its members ample oppor
tunity to keep Improper persons from
lK'eouiing members. Hut there seems
to be danger that there Is a good deal
of laxity In some granges In regard to
the eligibility of candidates nnd a
greut deal of severity In passing on
their fitness.
THE GRANGE SECRETARY.
An Important OlUee anil One on
Which Snrrpm Depends.
There ore three olllces In the subor
dinate grange that must be tilled by
competent und faithful officers or tho
grunge will not attain tho highest suc
cess. These olllces are master, lectur
er and secretary.
Tho master needs to bo a good exec
utive otllcer, with tho faculty of keep
ing things moving nil nlot the lino.
Tho lecturer should be about the best
man or woman the grange will afford.
The t'flieient, working grange Is made
such very largely by Its lecturer. Tin)
Interest and usefulness of tho meetings
will depend nlinost altogether on tills
Weor. And you must have another
"best" person ns secretary.
With a good secretary the master's
work Is lightened much. A cureless,
uninterested secretary can kill nny
grange in six months or greatly hinder
Its efficiency. The secretary who will
lint attend grange meetings and look
after the numerous details of his work
carefully nnd diligently should never
lie continued In office. If ho can bo In
duced to resign before his term of of
fice expires all the better for the grunge.
He must be present at every meeting
unless detained by illness or some oth
er most Important reason; ho must bo
punctual: he must think no detail of
Ms official duties unimportant; he must
reply promptly to all official or busi
ness letters; ho must make his quarter
ly reports the moment they are due to
be mude; ho must keep his records In
good shape; he must see that the dues
re collected, and he must do a hun
dred other thing that fall to his lot
Just as and Just when they should be
done. Unless he docs this lie Is not the
man for secretary.
I'nrnH'm nnd rittxenn.
Tho grange has much to do outsido
tho farm and Its Immediate Interests.
The farmer has something more to do
than to simply till the soil. He must
bo an up to dato business man; be must
bo an active, not merely a passive, clti
een; he must have a live interest In
good government in town, county, stato
and nation; ho must be In politics to
the extent that ho should Insist on hon
est government and be willing to do bis
part to make it so.
Tho defacing of farm buildings by
huge patent medicine advertisements
Should bo tho subject of protestation In
very grange, and no granger should
allow his premises to bo thus disfig
ured. Maplo Grove grange of East Trum
bull, O., Is rightly named. Its hall U
located in a beautiful maple grovo.

GRAFTING FRUIT TREL8.
Methods 80 8lmpU That Any Day Can
Practice Them.
Many appear to think that grafting,
or Inoculation, as buddhig is often
failed, has. like vaccination. In tho
animal subjuct, In some mysterious
way tho power to so change tho nature
of the tree that It will bear bettor
fruit than before. Wo have "unified
fruit" and "natural fruit" often used
as equivalent to good and poor fruit,
drafting Is simply planting a cutting,
but instead of planting It ns we do
most cuttings in tho soil where, un
der favorable conditions, it will take
root, the cuttings are planted In the
body, or the wood of an old tree, and
Instead of forming roots, the graft
unites with the old, and "takes" and
becomes In all respect a part of tho
"stock," as tho tree that Is grartod
la called. There am several kinds of
grafting, the mechanical operation
varying, but all having the same end
In view to convert or change a tree
from nn undesirable kind to a variety
wo prefer.
The cuttings, or clons, or grafts, de
mand as much care In their selection
as if they were young trees to bo
planted. They are usually cut In au
tumn, after the leaves have fallen,
and should ho of the last summer's
growth, new shoots at least a foot
long. Theso should bo cut from bear
ing trees, making sure that these are
of the kind we wNh to convert. Tho
c1, ns nre to be tied or better secured
with small copper wire, as string may
decay into bundles of convenient
size, and accurately labeled. The
bundles of clons are placed In boxes
and carefully surrounded with sawdust
or moss, and kept in n cool cellar.
They must be Inspected occasionally,
and if the packln-r material Is becom
ing dry, give it a light wetting.' Some
pack their clons In boxes of sand or
sandy voil and bury them below tho
reach of frost, and where water will
not settle.
Some me'hods of grafting are quite
difficult, but the two most In use are
very simplo nnd every boy can prac
tice them. The cleft Is the most sim
ple and the most common. The clon
Is cut with a sharp knife, In the form
of a wedge. A branch of a s ock Is
cut off with a proper saw, and with
n heavy knife, struck with a mallet, a
split or cleft Is made. This Is kept
open with a wooden wedge, and clons,
usually two In a large Btock, are care
fully sot, so that the inner bark of
the cut portion of the clon and tfiat
of the stock will come In contact. The
wooden wedge, being carefully remov
ed, the spring of the stock will firmly
hold the dons. All tho bare places,
on both stock and clon, are covered
w)th grafting wax to protect them
from rain and air.
Crown grafting differs In cutting
the clon upon one sldo only, to form
a half wedge. The bark of the stock,
It being cut off as before, may readily
bo lifted with a wedge of iron or hard
wood thrust between tho bark and
wood, to allow the eion to slip In be
tween the two. The bare surfaces are
waxed as before.
A Protective Hitching Strap.
Many horses while standing tied In
the street or elsewhere show nn Ir
repressible deslro to gnaw tho iost,
rail, treo or other object to which
they may be hitched. Whe;her for
amusement, or from hunger or play
fulness, tho horse which has this habit
will practice It on every wooden ob
ject, as tho hitching posts, bars, and
in too many Instances the street
shade trees of almost every village
bear silent testimony. Our Illustra
tion shows a device for an attachment
SECriMO HITCHING STKAl'.
to the ordinary tie-rein, which keeps
tho horse at 11 safe distance, and ef
fectually protects : lie tree or other ob
ject from his teeth. It consists of a
piece of hard wood board, two feet
lou? and as many inches wide, with
a hole an Inch from each end through
which the tie rein is thrust. Such a
s'ick Is quickly made and may be
carried along in the buggy or wagon
and always be ready for use.
The Zebra Cross.
Consul-General Guenther, at Frank
fort, Germany, sends an Interesting
report to the State liepartment on tho
efforts and experiments which are be
ing made to obtain an efficient cross
between the horse and the zebra. Ze
bras are, It soems, peculiarly Immune
from many of the diseases which trou
ble horses and cattle. Crosses which
Is said to be In many ways superior
to the mule; It is much livelier, has
extremely hard hoofs and Is stated to
be fully as intelligent. Tiie German
government Is manifesting much In
terest In this animal and the Zoologi
cal Gardens at Herlln possess many
fine specimens, the zebra stripes be
ing well preserved. The full grown
sehrula stands about fourteen hands
with a sixty or slxty-tlve Inch girth,
den. Guenther reports that tho ex
periments thus far have been so suc
cessful that it is predicted that the
ssebrula will during the present cen
tury completely supercede the mule.

ALASKA'S FARMS
Offer Great Opportunities for
Industrious Home Seekers.
Fins Crops Grown There Cattle and
Sheep.
"If the American farmers of the
Middle Western States who are emi
grating to the Northwest Territory
and Alberta In search of new and fer
tile agricultural lands for settlement
only knew the vast and varied agri
cultural possibilities of Alaska, they
would go to that country Instead."
said Gov. John O. Hrady, of Alaska.
"While Alaska continues practically
unsettled and uncultivated It Is most
unfortunate for the L'nlted States that
our citizens should emigrate to Cana
da to settle, for Alaska to-day offers
great opportunities for hardy and In
dustrious home seekers of the Ameri
can frontier class."
Gov. Brady talked much of the agri
cultural possibilities of the country of
which he Is the chief executive offi
cer. For the lust fifteen years he
has had his own gan)en at Sitka and
he takes much pride in the success
which has uniformly nttended his gar
dening operations.
"We hope to be able to make n dis
play at tt. Louis," said he. "which
will lj Justice to the possibilities of
the district, and if we are only able to
do that we will open the eyes of the
farmers of the Mississippi Valley with
wonder. Kmlgrat'ng farmers, Instead
of leaving the l'nlted States by thou
sands every year to go to Canada, will
start going to Alaska In large num
bers Instead.
"There Is no longer any question
that all the hardier grains, grasses
and vegetables can be grown In many
parts of Alask.1 with both success and
protlt. The experiments which have
linen conducted In the district by the
Agricultural Iepartmer.t and the ob
servations made by the department's
representatives leave no doubt as to
the adaptability of largo sections of
the district for agricultural operations.
The department has been carrying on
experiments In .Alaska at several
widely separated points for five or
six years, and the results achieved
are astonishing, even to many of us
who have lived In the district during
all that period. At all of the half doz
en places where- experiments have
been conducted the different varieties
of the hardier grains have been suc
cessfully grown and ripened each
year, and this class of experiments
has been so successful at some of the
stations th.it they have been discon
tinued nnd more doubtful or difficult
problems taken up.
"A great many Instances have come
under my observation from year to
year which prove that both farming
and gardening can be successfully
prosecuted in Alaska. Last year a
Mr. Swlnehart. who lives at Fort Sel
kirk on the Yukon Itlver, almost un
der the Arctic circle, raised eleven
tons of potatoes on a small piece of
ground. This spring he took nine
tons of them to Dawson, where they
sold for 15 cents a pound, or $.101) a
ton. The price was not considered
unusual for that season of the year,
as potatoes at that time were being
brought Into Dawson from Seattle,
the last 400 miles of the Journey be
ing made by sleds. Mr. Swlnehart has
raised hay at his place for several
years and he never sells It for less
than '. a ton. In my own garden last
year I raised potatoes of the finest
quality and excellent size, and they
kept well until some time after the
new iKitatoes were large enough to
eat this summer.
"Three years ago last fall the
schooner l.aurada, Nome, bound frrm
Seattle with a cargo of horses, cattle
and sheep, was wrecked on St.
George's Island, one of tho islands of
the l'ribllof group In the Itehring Sea,
some 200 miles north of the Aleutian
chain. The men on hoard succeeded
In getting1 the animals ashore nnd
they wintered there on wild grasses
without other food. The following
summer the sheep were taken away
nnd some of the cattle became very
fat and were butchered. The rest of
the cattle and the horses are still
there and have never, since they
landed, had any other food than that
which they sought for themselves.
"This Is but one of many similar
Instances. Kcports have come on the
best of authority of horses . turned
loose In tho fall by prospectors in the
Interior who were out of forage, and
living through the winter, or in some
Instances for two or three or more
winters, and becoming wild on the
range. Tho Uussians brought speci
mens of small Uusslan cattlo to the
country years ago and descendants of
these are still to be seen at Afognik
and other places, and In many cases
they are permitted to secure their own
.food through tho winter seasons.
Sheep on KadiaU Island have winter
ed Heason after season on the grass
they could secure for themselves.
"Tho action of Congress last winter
in extending the homestead laws to
Alaska has done a great deal to pro
mote the agricultural development of
the district. That action has already
started it movement of hardy prospec
tive agriculturists Into the country. A
number of farmers have gone Into the
Copper lllver country this season
with horses, implements and supplies
and are now raising crops for the sui
piy of the mining camps In that re
glou. Many Scandinavians are set
tling1 In Alaska, and they seem espe
cially titled to meet the conditions de
manded of farmers in that latitude."

An AromaW of tho Northern Ptnniylvanla
Forests Explained.
Willi more than a week of deer
season gone, during which scores
ofnininers have taken to the woods,
one hears of but very few successes.
Indeed, it was Thursday before th
first report of n deer being killed
was received. This one, a splendid
doe, was that in the Kddy Lick
region of Clinton county. Local
hunters nre tree to confess that deer
are becoming scarcer every year.
As black bear increase, deer di
minish. Twenty years ago it was
the other way black bear were
scarce ' and deer comparatively
plentilttl.
Gunners are convinced that the
scarcity now noted is nothing more
nor less than the gradual extinction
of deer in this section. Unlike the
bear, deer do not stay in a section
that has been denuded of its heavy
timber. "Slashings" ore loo open
for the timid creatures.
Men who predicted in the late
ifummer that few deer would be
shot this fall based their calcula
tions upon observations made 'in
the Dillmeyer deer tark near Wash
ingtonville. Among the more than
100 head of deer that Mr. Billmeyer
has tl. ere but a dozen young ones
were born. Th :re is a stroug senti
ment that the shooting of deer
should be entirely prohibited for at
least five years. Unless this be done
the men who favor it say deer will
be practically extinct in another
ten years.
