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

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.
