Ttio re<-t>iit election of Mr. Kcuyon L.
HuttcrUeld of Michigitit to the i.resi
fletß-.v of llie Rlio<l<? Island Agricultural
college bodes well for that institution.
During the past three years he has
pursued work in the University of j
.Michigan. His work in the university |
lias been of such a high order that dur- !
ing this year he was appointed lecturer j
in rural sociology, a new course offered |
in the university. lie believes in tlior j
oitgh technical training tor the farmer,
and it is understood that the Rhode Is
land board will give liiiu full latitude
to carry out Ids ideas in this direction,
lie is withal an enthusiastic worker In
i he grange.
I'ruetW-Hl Co-operation.
Some time ago, tvhen prices for beef j
were so high as to be almost prohibi
tive, the members of some ol' the
granges in Berkshire county. Mass..
co-oi>erated in defying the high prices
of tite meat trust and getting their own j
fresh meat at a low price.. Some of the j
farmers raising young stock agreed to
gether to kill off stock as it was needed |
to supply meat, taking turns and dis- J
uibitting to each other and to other
members oft Jit- grange at a lower price j
than meat was selling for in the mar
ket, Two important grange ideas were
thereby illustrated—fraternity and co
operation.
"Watch the lla.het."
Carnegie in his "Empire of Business" j
sums up the conditions of success for |
tlie farmer as well as the businessman. |
lie says:"The man wlro fails is the J
man who scatters his capital, which
| means that he has also scattered his |
! brains He has investments in this.
; that and the"other thing Don't put 11P (
j your eggs iu one basket is all wrong, j
1 tell you. put all your eggs iu one has- |
ket ar>d then watch that basket."
■ The secretary of the Pennsylvania
' state grange, J. T. Ailtnau, says that in
many sections the notion still prevails ,
1 that the grange is the avowed enemy !
nf the middlemen. This Is not correct j
We oppose oui\ a surplus of middle- j
men, endeavoring to shorten as much I
! as possible the route from the pro- !
ducer to the consumer.
The advisability of organizing a nil- j
tioual grange life Insurance company ]
is under consideration by a cotntniliec |
appointed by the national grange to i
report at its next meeting. The com j

Show » Devotion Rarely Met Among
More Favored Creatures.
Very funny it i>, from the human
I point of view, to witness the love-mak
| lug of a couple of owls on * moonlight
• night, as they sit together on the cop-
I ing of an old wall, or on the horizontal ;
| limb of some giant of the forest. Perch, j
| ed on the sanio bough, or the same wall
j or ruin, the lady owl. though usually |
j much bigger and stronger than her ;
i mate looks the picture of demure coy. j
' ness, if a little excited inwardly, like j
I a girl at her first ball,
i Hut the male owl, says the Pall Mall
1 Magazine, is very much in earnest; for
| A moment or two ha remains quite
i still, then he puffs out all his feathers, ;
i bows, and utters a softened scream, j
j followed by a modified hiss that is full
of tender meaning, and then he nudges ]
! her with his wing; she opens her big j
I eyes very wide, and gives him a side- j
j loug glance that may be a hint, for, '
! horrible to relate, from the depths of j
! his interior he instantly brings up a :
I half-digested mouse; and, although she '
I is full of similar rodents and stag j
J beetles as she can comfortably hold, '
! shf. opens her mouth and accepts the
! fragrant gift wi'.tli a murmur of satis- j
j faction that speaks volumes of lova ;
| and thanks. Then, when the daiuty ,
i morstl has been disposed of, they ca
j ress each other tenderly for a moment :
I or two, and then sit closely pressed to j
j each other's side while the process of '
i assimilation is perfected, after which !
j they simultaneously flit away into the!
moonlight on noiseless wing in search !
j of further prey.
NOT only do the owls guard each ,
otlier with a devotion thai* is rarely met j
with among more favored creatures,\
they positively idolize their ill favored !
offspring, for whose sake thev willing- j
Ily risk not only liberty, but life. A !
young owl is not an attractive looking j
object from our point of view, but in j
its father's and mother's eyes it Is per- i
fection, and the way they wait on it, !
cuddle and caress it. feed It and keep !
't clean, must be seen to be believed, j
Among the I'lgmles.
Though it was a dangerous under- '
j inking for the Vfriean explorers tc •
I travel through th»- lam! of the pigmies, j
I there must have been a huge interest j
| in ol.servinu the ways of these little i
! iiiitis. who were generally struck spell- j
1 bound at the sight of the white men. i
j Mr. I.loyd, writing in Chambers's
I Journal, says he was twenty days
! walking through the great forest iu- ,
I habited by the pigmies, a forets so !
I dark that iu many place* it was im-j
I possible to read, even at noonday. )
| I'lie pigmies were fairly intelligent.!

I arrows were tipped witli deadly poi-1

ain-e. and covered their faces. Tike shy !
i bildreti. when spoken to. The forest j
was alive with elephants, leopards, ;
wild pigs, buffaloes, and antelopes. •
! After leaving the forest Mr. Lloyd i
! came to one (dace where he took the j'
opportunity of screwing together the ;
\ bicycle which he had brought with j
I him. A spin on the machine brought j
1 out thousands of men. women, and j
| .-iiildp'ti from tlieir villages, and they .
j danced and veiled with delight at see- j
! ing. as they expressed it, a European ,
j riding a snake.

; by confessing that he was quite color

i and bit* what he had thought to be a

Gi\re you some IMCipVF FACT'
Mr. F. L. Shaw, manager JL A 1 JL JL*I JL JTm, Wb,
of our vehicle interests, bought
two buggies from the same house the oth<rr day. One cost 112, 18.00 more than the other. Then he took the buggies jj
all apart to see just why one was higher priced than the other. Here is what he found out :
Both buggies had exactly the same seat and back, same size body, same wheels, shafts and everything else, except |
that the higher priced one had 14-oz. cloth trimmings instead of Keratol, found in the cheaper ; a leather boot, instead |
ot ruhby ; a better axle, and the finish on the woodwork was slightly better, but not very much.
Read the difference—and learn how easily price can be raised without changing the grade, in a buggy.
