TYtsi Oorrotpondrnt tftv York Statt FARMING IS A SCIENCE. a Sr (lovrrnor Ilpll of Vermont o the f.rsrlslittnre. Governor O. J. I'.oll of Vormont In opening til mMrpss to tlie leglslnturo ; mid thnt agriculture continues to bo j the most Importnnt field for our nrtlvl ttos nnrt best endonvor In the Btnte of Vermont. He Hpoke of the vnluuWe worlt done y tlie College of Agrlrtil tnre, the forestry commission, the Dal- 1 rymcn's association, the Mnplc Supiir Hsoolntlon, the Horticultural society end kindred orcnnlzutlons nnd re mnrked thnt, nlded by these and sup ptementod by the ItiHtructlve work In the grnne, Vermont bus. been able to Increase nnd wonderfully develop the Krlculturnl worth of the state. Today fannliiff Is reeojrulzeil us a science and Indeed oiifeht to be called one of the professlons.Nor lie who succeeds In It must be well Informed and thoroughly understand the business, therefore It follows thnt tlie farmer must recognize Ms rights and bo rosily to demand them In matters of legislation. The Vermont legislature Is largely made up of farmers, and with Govern or null's approval much legislation of Importance to the farmer will no doubt be enacted at this session. Mr. Hell Is the "grange governor," and thnt he will have n keen eye for the farmers' Interest need not be said. Origin of the Grnnsje. The grange .Idea originated with O. H. Kelley, a Minnesota farmer cm ployed In the bureau of Agriculture. When he was traveling In 1800 through the south obtaining Information for the bureau In regard to agricultural con ditions It occurred to him that a secret society of farmers might prove ns ben eficial to them as the Masonic order Is to Its members. When he returned to Washington he broached the matter to six friends. On Pec. 4, 1807, with Mr. Kelley, these six men organized the grange: William Saunders, Ilev. A. B. Orosh, W. M. Ireland, Rev. John Trimble and J. It. Thompson of Wash ington and F. M. McDowell, a horti culturist of Wayne, N. Y. Besides these Miss Caroline Hall, Mr. Kelley's niece. Is now generally classed among the founders because she suggested some of the most Important features that have contributed to the success of the grange, among them extension of membership to women. Mr. Kelley and Miss Hull are now the only sur Tlvors of the founders. Farmer' Association In loir. Some of the farmers In Rockwell, la., several years ago formed a co-operative association for the purpose of han dling their own grain, live stock, etc. From this association have sprung nu merous others, which have worked along the same lines until at a recent meeting of the co-operative companies Id Iowu twenty -six distinct companies In the state were represented and some from other states, making a total of over thirty. This organization is not n distinctively grange organization In deed we do not know that any of Its ofUcers are members of the Order nnd It Is often the case that as good results are obtained by fanners' organizations outside the Order as In It, yet this is one of the chief advantages sup posed to be secured by tlie grange or ganization. There is much to be lenrnud yet about co-operation. The Granite llarmonlxer. Several years ago I met a clergyman at a field meeting In Massachusetts, says Mr. O. H. Kelley. ne was loud In his praise of tho social feature of the Order. He told me that In his town there were five churches tlie membership of which had been very clannish until tho advent of tho frange. In that he was chaplain. There he found members of all thoso churches mingling In harmony. Now hnt social spirit had gradually spread nd obliterated the clannlshness. When Mtber one of the churches gave a fes tival all the others mingled freely. The grange had revolutionized the social features of the town. State Grange Meeting's. The season for the meetings of the Tarlous state granges began with De cember. Nearly all state granges meet during this month. Pomona granges electing delegates to the stute granges should name their best and most repre sentative men, and the resolutions bearing on farmers' Interests should be carefully prepared beforehand nnd placed. In the hands of delegates who are qualified to support the measures that they Introduce. A Working Grange. Arkansas City (Kan.) grange bus been doing a good work In co-opera Uou. They are saving their members $1 per ton on coal, and on binder twine they are saving from $3 to $15 to each Xarmer. They are Insuring their farm property from 1 to 2 per cent cheaper than the old Hue companies charge. ThiB grange has not missed a meeting tor several years. A Pabllo Spirited Han. public spirited gentleman In Maine has supplied several of the granges In that state with grange libraries. The proposition Is made thnt If the grange will secure a suitable bookcase and put therein forty volumes of good books he will udd seventy-two vol umes. Of course every grange prompt ly accepted the proposition under the conditions. The gningo will be thirty-seven years old Deo. 4, 1001. SUCCESSFUL CO-OPERATION What Mnr He Ar-omttlliMt t'nder Good Mnnnm "I. Once In awhile nn unu i illy success ful co-operative store may lie found. Years ngo these stores, not all of them successful, however, were numerous, but not so todny. The grange In those years hnd a most unpleasant experi ence In those lines and since has care fully Insured the ilnnnclnl footing of such co-operntlve enterprises before establishment. The Formers' Store company of Bloomer, Wis., Is a notable exception to the "average run of co-operative stores. It started In n very modest way In 1H!2 lu the woodshed of a farm er, I. L. Scrltsmler, president of the company then nnd now. The business now occupies three floors of a brick block 72 by SO feet nnd a large storage warehouse besides. There Is now a paid up capital of $".",000. Sales last year were $210,4i0, a net gain of $15, 013, or 20 per cent on the cnpltnl after selling merchandise at a profit of only 12'4 per cent. So far this year the sales are 0 per cent ahead of the same period of last year. ' On Jan. 1 last merchandise on hand Invoiced nt $02, 000, nnd tho merchandise Indebtedness wns only $25.77 nnd no other debts ex cept current ones to creamery patrons nnd a few to stockholders. In eleven years, excluding hist year, the com pany has paid SO!) per cent to Its stockholders. The creamery In connec tion with the store manufactured and sold $05,000 worth of butter In 1003. A Notable Maine Grange. A notable Instance of whnt Is possi ble In the line of encouraging agricul ture la the work of the Pine Tree grange of Lisbon, Me., says the New England Homestead. In this grange the Maine Sweet Corn Growers' asso ciation had Its birth, and through It and the county Pomona It received the Impetus which carried It where It Is today. There are about 870 members In this grange, with an average week ly attendance of over 100. A few years ago a lot was bought and a large, com fortable hall erected, the latter cost ing $4,000. This Is now paid for. Each year the grange gives a fulr, open only to pntrons, when various fancy goods and all agricultural products are shown. This grange Is doing a worthy work. The field Is broad and the op portunities numerous enough for many other granges to do equally creditable service In helping fnrmers. A Grange Contest. To Increase membership a grange often "chooses sides" to see which can secure the most new members, the losers to pay for a supper for both sides or some other "penalty." The following scale of points governed In one such contest: Essay of 100 words or over 100 Essay of less than 100 words 50 Poem 100 Reading- to Recitation 30 llouquet 15 Each product of farm or home 15 Each piece of fancy work 15 Gong- by grange 50 Bong by Individual 60 Whistling a tune 50 Instrumental music 50 I'eck of potatoes with least number 60 Bame as nbovo for apples, pears, plums nnd pearhes 60 For largest pumpkin, melon, ear of corn, potuto, snuiiHh and apple CO Application for membership 100 Attendance 20 Adaptability of the Grange. The grange as an organization Is udapted to the needs of every commu nity, says Overseer Fuller of New York. For the locality where men make the accumulation of money the paramount Issue the grange has a place, for it makes the accumulation of wealth easier lu many ways. For the community where social nnd Intellec tual development Is tho primary mo tive our Order affords the best possible means to carry on educational work nnd promote social Intercourse among farmers. For the community where a fraternal order Is needed to draw men closer together nnd help them to carry ench other's burdens the grange stands pre-eminently forth as the only organ isation affording fraternal benefits to men nnd women on the sume basis of equality. The Grange a Secret Order. The grange is a secret order In that Its meetings are usually for the bene fit of members only, but occasionally open meetings are held. There are signs and salutations characteristic of secret orders. Tlie ritual work of sub ordinate granges covers four degrees; of the county, called I'omomt granges, one degree (tho fifth); of state granges, the sixth degree; national grange, the seventh degree. The ritual work of all the degrees Is very beautiful and in structive. Grange Bulletins. Pennsylvania and Massachusetts state granges are Issuing monthly bul letins to patrons of their respective states. The former Is edited by State Master Hill and the latter by State Secretary no ward. Both are well edit ed and capable of much good for the Order. New York, Ohio, Michigan and possibly two or three other states Issue monthly lecturers' bulletins. Rick Wiyes and Daughters.
