As the winter is now approaching: it
behooves those who have younjj or
chards or vineyards, to put them in
proper condition to stand the coming
winter blasts and hard fteczes. In this
climate the winters are not so very
cold, and yet young trees and vines
should be protected. Trees should be
wrapped well" with rags, straw or
heavy paper up to the first limbs to
keep off the winds and to protect them
from the ravages of certain herbivor
ous quadrupeds. The ground should
be mulched with st.iaw, prairie hay or
stable litter, to a depth of Eix or eight
inches for a distance of five feet around
thc.trccs. This will keep the tender
ilrootlets that are near the top of the
rfgroundjYrom freezing, and also protect
Jtuobcrown of the tree. Grape vines,
"blackberry and raspberry briars should
be similarly mulched, while strawber
ries and various other small roots
should bo entirely covered up with
siraw or its equivalent. Ex.
The Plow, Spade and Hoo.
These important implements of the
husbandman arc beginning-trr attract
attention by town folk; that when
they go the country they can say they
know how to use cither or all of them.
They think that husbandry is looking
up; that the Grange is making the
calling respectable. "Why? Every
daily and weekly newspaper particu
larly the political ate constantly talk
ing about Grangers. They mysteiionsly
refer to them, aud as mysteriously be
fuddle themselves ?s their readers,
making known the principles and ob
jects of the Order. How strange it is
that they must intermeddle so. "Why
don't they leave us alone one day, and
take up the ancient Order of Freema
sonry, or the society of more modern
origin the Independent Order of Odd
of Fellows? Some of the candidates in
the field belong to both of these Orders
and they are as much political as the
Grange is. Gentlemen journalists,
please let the fraternity of the plow,
spade and hoe havo a little rest, and
sharpen your pencils for some other
organization than the farmers. They
arc not so dumb as you think them;
aud they know how to plow, and to
hoc, too. without quite so much gra
tuitous advice. Do, please, give some
of the free gift to somebody else, or we
may die through your excessive kiud
lics's. Farmer's Friend.
Patrons' Bank of California.
Maj. J.W. A. Wright, the Woilhy
Lecturer of the California State
Grange, says:
"The Patrons' Bank of California,
whose rate of interest is twelve per
cent, per annum, has been at work
more than a year, doing all in its pow
er to obtain loans for farmers, "at rea
sonable rates of interest.'" About half
of its capital of $3,000,000 is already
subscribed, aud the remainder is being
gradually taken.
"It is a matter of just pride for all
concerned in this groat and novel en
terprise a real farmers' bank that
when our great panic occurred recent
ly and three of our strongest banks,
based on mining slock and commercial
interests alone, had to suspend pay
ment, our Patrons' bank went on un
disturbed in "the quiet tenor of its
way." Now, could this have been tho
case had it not been on a sound basis,
and carefully managed ? And tell me
why should not this aud other corres
ponding banks bo cstablished,and have
as firm a basis as aity banks in the
woild, on our farming lands, farm pro
ducts, farmers' credit and the fidelity
ol the grange- a Dasis by no means so
fluctuating as our mining stocks?
There is no reason why, with careful
management, the should not bcasuc
ccss, and they will be. Three years
ago the ruling rates of interest in
California varied from eighteen to
tweuty-five per cent, per annum. Now
Tery many loaus arc contracted and
notes given at -from ten to fifteen per
cent, per annum. So some improve
rneiit is found already in rates of in
terest." '
The National Grange.
We clip the following recommenda
tions from the report of the Master's
address at the opening of the National
Grange, which is now in session at
Louisville, Kentucky. They are emi
nently wise. Every Patron can see
what an advantage to the Order it
jyould bo if permanent and suitable
buildings were provided for its meet
ing". Here in the west wc must do the
best we cat), for the present, but wc
confidentially look forward to the
time when every grange shall own
its own hall. Already wc have heard
of a grange, here in Southern Kansas,
that is now seriously considering the
question.
Uut here arc the recommendations
of the Master:
"The Master of the National Grange
in his address recommended that suit
able buildings be erected or bought
for the national headquarters, such as
shall be consistent with, the conven
ience and dignity of the greatest scctet
society in the world.
"It will thus form a center to which
all Patrons can look as the lcsult of
their contributions and be an example
of solid strength that State and subor
dinate granges will do well lo emu
late. "Did the National and each State
aud subordinate grange now own and
occupy suitable buildings, it would in
itself be almost a sure guarantee of
pciniaueucc.
"It shows wonderful vitality in out
granges that so many have survived
aud prospered without any fixed or
suitable habitation, but holding their
meetings in school houses, or any oili
er building that might be temporarily
attainable.
"I have yet to learn of the first fail
ure of a grango which owned and oc
cupied a convenient, comfortable and
well-appointed hall.
"No subordinate sransc should be
for a moment satisfied with its situa
tion until it owns.a hall fully furnished
with all the conveniences of a grange
room, including musical instruments
and a well-selected library. Such
grangesMiover die, but, rooted in the
affections of their members, they will
bestow rich blessings on agriculture
long after their founders have crossed
the dark river.
"Toward the closo of his address.
Worthy Master Adams said :
"Indiana and Ohio arc notablo ex-
uuiiiua ui juuu iiiiauciui iiiaiiHuiui-iJi,
both having plethoric treasuries, the
former especially, containing over $20,
000. Such cases are cheering to all
good Patrons, and bright examples of
thrift aud economy, which public
bodies and ptivate individuals should
emulate."
Perpetuity of the Grange.
"How is the Grange doing? Men
outside tell me it is on the wane."
We ask is the Sunday school interest
dying out? No; we answer most em
phatically, no. Never in the history
of this country has tho Sunday school
had such ahold on the affections of tho
people or so much influence for good,
as it has to-day, aud j et it is not neces
sary to stand on the street corners and
proclaim its greatness and extol Its
virtues. At the firstlpart of the catecr
of the Grange there was much said
about it, but much the loudest noise
was made by outsiders, many of whom
had an interest in it only so far as they
imagined that it would in some way
advaucc their peculiar interest, which
it has not done. The well-wishers of
the Grange and fanners generally out
sidc,and the niembcrs,ncvcr have made
much noise, and during the busy sea
son give less attention than usual to
tho Order, but like the Sunday school,
it has never had a greater hold upon
the esteem of its membcis, its benefits
have never been better appreciated
than now.
It is next to impossible for the Grange
to "die out," having so much of the cl
ement of usefulness in it and meeting,
as it docs, the social and intellectual
wants of the farmer. A degree of an
tagonism has sprung up between the
merchants and the Grangers which is
the lesull mostly of a misapprehension
of their true mission and tho effect of
the organization upon commerce.
These things arc becoming daily better
understood, aud as that is the case the
antagonism wears off. Merchants can
not long remain blind to the fact that
the more money a farmer gets the mot e
he w ill spend, and while he may buy
staples from first hands, and save money
by it, he will in turn spend that inoncj
for more of the comforts of liTo which
consist so often of such articles as he
can seldom buy satisfactorily by order,
and the consequence is that the mer
chant sells as many or more goods,and
the farmer, by this manner of invest
ing his money, is enabled to purchase
and enjoy more of the comforts of life,
such as he is so justly entitled to, and
nobody hurt. An able and wise course
on the partof those honored and trust
ed with positions in the Grange will
insure success, maikcd aud complete
Journal and Farmer.
Moilow Soil Around Tress.
Unless the surface of the giotind is
mulched around young trees over an
area of six to ten feet in diameter, the
ground should be kept clean and mel
low. Every farmer knows that a hill of
corn or potatoes will not amount to
much unless cultivated, and yet there
aic many who will neglect to give tho
same caro to a tree which is worth a
hutidred hills of cither of tho former.
In rich soil, trees may grow rapidly
without cultivation, and no amount
of grass or weeds will retard them;
but there arc other things besides
growth to bo looked after. If the
weeds and grass arc allowed to grow
up around the stems of apple, peach
or quince trees tho bark will become
soft near their base by being shaded,
and thctcby bo in a suitable condition
for the reception of the eggs which
will eventually become peach or apple
borers. Take any dozen young apple
trees in the sections where the apple
borer is abundant, and allow a portion
to be choked with weeds and the ic
maindcr well cultivated, and then
watch the result. From our own ex
perience, wc believe that the chances
are nine to one in favor of these culti
vated being exempt from this pest.
