The “Grangers.”

A reporter of the Star dropped in at the headquarters of the Nation&Grange of the Patrons of Husbandry, «n Louisians avenue, a few days since, and found there, besides Colonel O. H. Kelley, the Secretary, Mr. Dudley W. Adams, ot lowa, Master of the National Grange. The jorial secretary introduced the Star man, with the remark: “Now you’ve got the •head center’ of the Grangers; go for for hlmt" The reporter of the Star staid not upon the order of his going, but went for bun “in manner as follows, to-wit:” Reporter—Well, Mr. Adams, your organisation is creating something of a stir tn the political world. There seems to be a general impression that it will take a prominent part in politics; in fact, it appears to be taken for granted that it has already figured in some very important political movements. Mr. Adams—That is a popular misapprehension. We cannot, as Granges, participate in any political movement, for the reason that the constitution of the order expressly prohibits the discussion of either political or religious topics in the granges. R.— Well, that is singular. The papers, for months past, have contained accounts of political meetings by the Grangers, and have published resolutions adopted atsuch gatherings. Mr. A.— That may be, but in almost every case such meetings were not held as Grange meetings; and whenever granges have held meetings as such, their action has invariably been repudiated by the State Granges. R.—Then I understand that members of Granges may participate in-political movements, and that Grangers, as they are commonly called, may even go so far as to call meetings,but that it must be done informally, and not as having the sanction of any particular organization of the Patrons of Husbandry. Mr. A.— That’s the idea- We arejffst like the Masons or Odd Fellows in respect to religion or politics. They, as you know, are at liberty to do just ' as they please in regard to politics and religion outside of the lodges, and it is the same with us. . R.—lt has been represented that the Order has Democratic proclivities, and those who assert this point to lowa, where the Anti-Monopoly, or Democratic ticket, is supposed to be the one Grangers favor. Mr A—That is another misapprehension. In June, when the Republicans held the State Convention, they adopted the Anti-Monopoly platform, and one that suited the Patrons to a “T.” When the Democrats held their convention they also adopted an Anti-Monopoly platform and called themselves “Anti-Monopolists,” probably in the hope of roping in the Grangers.

R— How will the Ajiti-Mon.opoli.sts succeed; wiU the Patrons be deeeived by a name ? —— ——- Mr. A.—Many Patrons will vote the! Democratic ticket simply because they are Democrats, and because there is no difference between the two platforms. Both parties came down on their knees to us, and would have come down still lower if we had required them to do so. The fact is, there is really no issue in lowa. R.—Then you think the Republicans will carry the State as usual ? Mr. A.—Undoubtedly. The most of the Patrons are with the Republicans, because the platform of the latter is all that could be desired. By the way, there is a plank in the lowa Republican platform that I never saw in any other, of either party. It is as follows (reading from an lowa paper): Resolved. That we are deslrons of political reform. and for honesty, economy, and purity in all official admihialration. That to recure this is the duty of every citizen; that to thia end every good man should feel bound to participate in politics, and to make an end of bad men forcing their election by securing a party nomination; declare ft the duty of every Rpublicau io oppose the election ota bad man and incompetent official, whether he be a candidate upon Our owii or auy other ticket. This, as you see, is virtually ignoring party, and adopting the pugilist’s motto, “Fair play, and may the best man win..” R.— But don’t you think that the order should become, to some extent, a political organization, in order to bring about the reforms it seeks to accomplish? Mr. A.—To a certain extent, yes. But it would not do for us to lay down a- political platform for the.. whole organization. Why, the question of free trade and protection alone would divide us at once. R.—Of the candidates on the lowa Republican State ticket, how many are Grangers ?

MrA.—Two: the candidate for Governor and the candidate for Lieutenant-Gov-ernor. The Democratic ticket has, I believe, but one, and he is the candidate for Superintendent of Public Instruction. R.—May I ask, Mr. Adams, what your politics are ? Mr. A.—l have always been a Republican. R Our friend Kelley, Here, tells ine he is a Democrat. Colonel Kelley—Yes, str ; I am a Democrat of the blackest kind;- dyed in the wool. I used to write for a Republican paper once, but I had to tell so many lies, especially in regard to the acts-of such men as Senator , and had to bolster up so many Republican schemes that I got sick of it and quit. Mr. A. —There! You see an illustration of the folly of our attempting to get up a political’organization. Why, the very fact that Colonel Aikin, of South Carolina, who was once arrested by Governor Scott for supposed connection with the Ku-Klux, voted for me lor Master of the National Grange, shows that we ignore politics. It—A report has lately been published that the „ National Grange w’ould soon issue a circular admonishing the Granges to have nothing to do with politics; ' Mill this be done? —; Mr. A.—No; it is quite unnecessary. The fundamental principles vs the Order are too well known to require it. R.—One more question. The statement has been published that colored persons will not be admitted to the Granges. Is this true? Mr. A.—lt is not. Every Grange must exercise its own discretion as to the admission of members. The constitution is silent in regard to color, and only prescribes that applicants must be of good moral character; that they must be inter-_ ested in agriculture, and that they must be of a certain ace. If a Grange chooses to admit colored persons it can do so ; there is nothing in the constitution to prohibit it. The statement that there are no colored men in the order is incorrect. I myself have been in Granges where there were colored members. Their admission is simply a local matter, and is settled by the local Granges. R.—How large do you think your Order is at present ? Mr. A.—l would estimate its total membership at about half a million. Colonel Kelley has the figures. [Here Colonel K. produced a weekly bulletin, dated - September 20, which showed a total of 0,409 subordinate Granges. Of this number 829 were established during the month of August last, and 027 from the Ist to the 20th of the present month. Both gentlemen agreed that the number of subordinate Granges formed during the present mouth would reach nearly, if not quite, 1,000. J Mr. Adams, Master of the National Grange, who was lately mentioned in connection with the the Lieutenant-Governor-ahip of lowa, is about 45 or 46 years of age. He is of medium size, wears a full light beard, and has light hair, which is oombed straight back over his organ of veneration, and back of his auricular ap-1

pondages. A close inspection failed to reveal any hay seed in his hair, and it might be added that he does not wear a hickory shirt, nor does he tuck Ills piyits in his boots, although in appearance he comes pretty well up to the popular idea of a horny-handed son of toil. He wore alight slouch hat and gray clothing throughout, and on seeing him first would remind one who “tout into the late rebellion” of a “Johnny Reb.” He lives at Waukon, lowa, where he owns and cultivates a farm, and is especially interested in pomology. He has just returned from the annual session of the United States Bornological Convention in Boston, and left for lowa a day or two qgo. Just before leaving. Secretary Kelley handed the reporter of the Star a card, saying that some festive Granger recently sent it to him, oft which was printed the following: “Compound extract of hay seed; an excellent invigorator; warranted to cure itching for office, political trickery, and sure to remove unfaithful servants from office.” — -S’ur.

POLITICAL NOTES.

tS'-Some one was displeased -with the late Treasurer of Florida, and charged him with dishonesty. Whereupon a thorough investigation was had, and the result showed that the State owed him nineteen, cents. jggcThe New York Herald has a remedy lor the financial panic: it is a declaration of President Grant that he will not be a candidate for a third term. The terrible Uncertainty of the country on that pnint. argues the 2/< r«ZrZ, is the cause of the trouble. The Wall street craze is raging worsVinThe office., Cgr-The Albany (N. Y.) Evening Journal thinks the Democratic papers hard to please. 11 says: They have abused the • Government for occasionally checking i gold speculations by throwing a few mil- ! lious of its surplus accumulations of that : coveted metal upon the market; and now they are quite as displeased because it does not empty the Treasury to stop the panic. Their ruleof criticism is as shifting as the wind. Do what the Government may, they will growl. sar- Three-fourths of the farmers of 11l r'tiois,” says the Rock Island “have always affiliated with the Republican party, and there fe where their party sympathies and affections Jte to so close a degree that the efforts of 'a whipped, defunct and irresponsibie body of~Democruts and Liberals to carry them in antagonism must signally fail. They do not propose to assist in destroying their own party, that played dut 'Democratic politicians may kick up their heels over its ruins.”

tSTThe St. Louis (Mo.) Democrat rubs its .contemporary and the Liberal disorganizers of its State: The Republican is enthusiastic in its praise of the “Alcorn "Bbl P' i n AHssTssippT, and says “it rs the best and most promising one ti.e country has seen sincaHTratz Brown arid Ids followers walked out of the Slate House at Jeflersoq, taking with them forever the scalp of Missouri Radicalism.” There is no accounting for tastes, but there are many good people who look upon the tomahawking and scalping of the Democratic party by “Gratz Brown arid his followers,” in the late Presidential canvass, as a better andmorenzeritorious performance than the bolt at Jefferson. jffiTThe Democrats have one important advantage in the Ohio canvass. Their candidate for Governor has been out of public life so long that his political record is as undiseoverable as the lost books of Tacitus. His opponent, Noyes, has been in active political life ever since he lost his leg on the battle-field, and the Democrats are busily at work inventing and circulating all sorts of lies about his manner of administering the office of Probate Judge, to which he was elected five or six years ago, and they keep him busy refuting their slanders. Allen, who is a statesman after the. order of Melchisedeck, having neither beginning of years nor end of days, has performed no public service within the memory of men now living.— St. Louis Democrat.

|3g”The Democratic party has lost the faculty of attracting attention to itself. Its platforms drop like lumps of lead to the ground, though these same platforms, when prod dined by some other party, become an inspiring war cry against Republican ism. It no longer''possesses the capacity fa present living issues to the country, and is constantly mortified to find its claims eclipsed by issues presented by. others—as in Massachusetts, California, Mississippi, and lowa. There is but one disposition to be made of such a paity; it must be retired to the hospital of veteran invalids, that a more vigorous fighter may take its place.— St. Louis liepublican. .... .......... ' It is not surprising the Democracy all over the country profess a wish to “raise no dead issue’s.” They would like tp have tlierrAniamous recoid on these dead issues buried out of sight and forgotteh forever.

Like the man who has been twice find thrice in a State’s prison, they would be much obliged if the record would be forgotten or scratched out. Thank you; that is not the course people take.—Cincinnati Cazetle. t Madison (Wis.) .State' Journal says of the Democratic party in that State.: We have again the ancient enemy to confend withr-awL-to beat, once more. It matters not with what plausible language the platform is eoHsir.ueted; it matters not "how nearly the principles of the 'Republican plat term are it'l<>pte<l,-flfe people will discover that it is the same old party that opposed the Republican party during the warthat is trying to creep into power under a false skin. No skin cun cover the remembrances of the conduct of the Democratic party, s<»< as to deceive the. people into its support. Its old adherents will cling to it; but the masses will stand by the party that carried the country safely through the war; that was organized as a true reform party; that has progressed with the real wants of the*country, and now leads in all the reforms demanded for the prosperity of the people—the Republican party.

How to Destroy Rodents.

The Los Angeles, Cal., Star gives the following as a successful me’liod to destroy gophers and squirrels. One farmer ■has just successfully poisoned some thouj sands of squirrels tliat had partly destroyed a grain field. His plan was as follows: —“ First he purchased four bits’ worth of strychnine which he dissolved in a teacup, of vinegar; this he let stand half a day, fetirring it occasionally. This cupful of vinegar and strychnine he then poured into three gallons of water; into which he added a pint of brown sugar, which destroyed thetaste of the vinegar -and- poison. He then distributed the preparation about the field, placing it in little earthen or other vessels as near the color of the ground as they can be procured. During the warm parts of the day -the rodents went to these vessels by hundreds, and never had time to get to their holes any more, and so deadly is the poison tha’t four bits’ worth of strychnine will lay out from three to four hundred rodents. ” ' We presume that the plan which has been so successful in California with gophers and squirrels would be equally applicable to rats, mice, and other small deer. > -—' It is estimated that the wool clip of Colorado and New Mexico this year will reach 5,000,000 pounds. ’ t

Systematic Farming.

The true theory of agriculture is to regard it in the light of a manufacturing industry. The farmer is a creator of values. Whatever he. produces, whether it be a. bushel of corn, a pound of pork, a barrel of apples, an acre of roots, or a firkin of butter; in all these cases lie cqnverts raw materials into useful commodities tlwough the intervention! of labor and by the use of capital'?’ He-puts his products into the market in much the same way as other manufacturers. Ilia' success, like theirs, depends hot alone on capital, or skill, or labor, or machinery, or science, or experience; on hone of. these separately and exclusively, but on all of them combined, and on the judgment with which they are blended in due proportion, and on the clear-sighted sagacity which is every where applied to his operations. There is no reason, then, why the business of th 6 farmer, if conducted under right conditions, should not yield as fair . auiarg-ui-xif--profit.4is.ather.macataciii.ring. industries. In his case, as in theirs, whatever reduces the cost of production adds so much to the net results, and helps to make him a prosperous man. The problem far the agriculturist is, To get the highest agreeable product (not of quantity merely, but of value,) from the smallest cash investment, and the practical mode of solving this problem fiiakes the whole difference between the thriftless and the thrifty farmer. Just here iliere arises a very important inquiry: Does the highest yield per acre necessarily give the lowest het cost of the article' raisedZofls they® any’rela'tionTietween these two factors? The obvious answer is, that though the largest yield does not always givb the least cost, yet the chances are greatly in its favor if reasonable care and economy are used. There is, of course, a limit of outlay on every crop, beyond which it will not be profitable; but inside of this limit, it is safe to say that, as a general rule, the more bushels or tons you get from an acre, the less each bushel or fan will cost. The reason of this is so perfectly plain, it seems incredible that our farmers do not give more attention to the principle, and take advantage of it to increase.their profits. The tisual'explanation with most of them is, that capital being limited, they cannot put more than ascertain

amount of expense on each acre, even though every’ additional dollar should bring back a hundred-fold.—Cor. Rural New ■ -

When Should Milk Be Skimmed?

Many dairymen who; make excellent; butter contend that better results are obtained by allowing the cream to acquire a slightly acid taste than to churn it sweet; but this acid condition of the cream must not be confounded, however, with sourness, which is altogether different and arises from different causes, such as standing too long, or from a close atmosphere, or from‘badly cleansed utensils, or from a general want of care and cleanliness. X. A. Willard writes: When milk is allowed to sour before it is skimmed, the layer of cream appears more bulky and of greater consistency, but it does not produce so much nor so good a quality of butter as cream properly raised and skimmed from milk before it sours. On this point we possess sonic interesting cxperimentsTiySannet, who put aside two equal quantities of milk, of which the first, skimmed after thirty’ hours, yielded thirty pounds of butter, and the second, skimmed after a lapse of sixty hours, only twenty-seven pounds of butter. In another experiment two equal quantities of milk yielded—the one When skimmed after thirty hours, thirty-one pounds of butter; and the other, after sixty hours, twenty-nihe pounds of butter. In both experiments, in which the rriilk was skimmed after thirty hours’ standing, the skimmed milk was still sweetj? and the cream not so thick and Jess in bulk than that which was thrown up after sixty hours’ standing. The cream which arisesffirst is always richer in butter than that which is thrown -up later, and it also possesses more of that peculiar aroma which gives to butter that rich nutty flavor and smell which impart so high a degree of pleasure in eating it. When proper regard has been had to keeping the milk at tlie right temperature while the cream is rising, and the proper appliances are had in the dairy, al! the cream that will rise at all will have tocome to the surface in about twenty-four hours. Some claim that they can get it all up in less time. Of one thing we maybe assured—the quicker cream can be made to rise the better its quality; for cfeam, like all perishable substances, does not preserve its original for anv great length of time. The'best as well as the highest-priced butter that now goes into the London market comes from tlie Continent of Europe, where the greatest attention is paid to butter making. In Holstein one of the points considered most essential in butter-making is to skim the milk just at the proper moment; and this must always take place before the milk can become sour. Choice,'keepable butter can only .result when the milk has beenkepUsweet, as the souring...develops. curds. The Orange countyliutter-makers observe this principle; and The* experience of the best butter-makers, both in this country and in Europe, appears to have settled down upon this principle as the correct one to practice. But while the cream should be taken from the milk before it is sour, the cream, on the contrary, is allowed to have a pleasant acid taste‘before churning.— New York Herald.

Dr. Walker’s Vinegar Bitters fulfills all these conditions, and i-s now effecting the most extraordinary’ cures, in cases where every “specific” of the faculty has ignominiously failed.

IS ■ AnllU 1131 111 Dr. J. Walker’s California Vinegar Bitters are a purely Vegetable preparation, made chiefly from the native herbs found on the lower ranges of the Sierra Nevada mountains of California, the medicinal properties of which are extracted therefrom without the use of Alcohol. The question' is almost daily asked, “What is the cause of the unparalleled success of Vinegar Bitters?” Our answer is, that they remove the cause of disease, and the patient recovers his health. They are the g;reat blood purifier and a life-giving principle, JRenovator—and. Invigorator of the system. Never before in the history of the world has a medicine been compounded possessing the remarkable Vinegar Bitters in healing the sick of every disease man is heir to. They are a gentle Purgative as well as a Tonic, relieving Congestion or Inflammation of the Liver and Visceral Organs, in Bilious Diseases. The properties of Dr. Walker’s Vinegar Bitters are Aperient, Diaphoretic, Carminative, Nutritious, Laxative, Diuretic, Sedative, Counter-Irritant, Sudorific, Alterative, and Anti-Bilious. urateful Tliousanffs proclaim Vinegar Bitters the most wonderful Invigorant that ever sustained th- sinking ay stem. No Person can take these Bitters according to directions, and remain long unwell, provided their bones are not destroyed by mineral poison or other means, and vital organs wasted beyond repair.

In their treatment, a purgative, exerting a powerful influence upon these various organs, is essentially necessary. There is no cathartic for the purpose equal to ■ 4)fcrJsrJWAIrkERtsJWxNtEG as they will speedily remove the darkeolored viscid matter with which the bowels are loaded, at the same time stimulating the secretions of the liver, and generally restoring the healthy functions of the digestive organs.
