 SKCRETAKVS OFKK K, ) 
 ToHoNTO, Nov. 25. J88]. S 
 PATRONS,— The busy summer time is over, tlie Iiiuveai? ivrc gathered »nd suftly housed ; crops Imvo 
 been pretty generally good, and we hnve reason for much thiinkf\ilness. Witii the iipproadi of wintjr we can 
 see before us some leisure moments, sometime for relf.xiition from the hard and patient labor of the past sea- 
 son. Bles&ed with the abundancte of earth's products, the n suit of lioncst toil applied to the resources of 
 nature, placed before us by a kind rrovidcnce, we are now in a po.-ition to turn our attention to the cultiva- 
 tion ot our mental faculties, to the advancement of our social end educational condilion, and which will also 
 be a medium by which to add to our material interests. Many Granges, during the busv season, have not 
 been meeting— now is the time when you should again meet regularly. There aie also Oranges that have 
 cea.sed meeting altogether, the members becoming careless, and the good work, nobly begun, abandoned for 
 lack of interest. In view of the necessity of co-operation of united action among farmers now ,so apparent, 
 riety of reorganization. Yiiu have probably all the reiiuirements at hand and need only some 
 
 we urge the propriety i 
 
 oue to say cunii: uii. and iiiHuy Granges now dormant may be resuscitated. The past history ot the order shows 
 its capabdities if earnestly handled— the principles are right and need only the putting of machinery into 
 effect to work out great results, With unity in purpose, a'nd harmony of feeling, sliitting out all jealousies 
 and selfish motives, letting fraternity of feeling nde, a great future is in store yet for ilie Grange. We are at 
 that stage in our history when we need earnest determination, and a oneness of pinpose anio'i,' our meml)ers 
 to sustain and perpetuate our organization. In all institutions of a character like ours, having great subjects 
 in view— the bettering of the condition of the people, and especially I hose immediately connected with the or- 
 ganization—the worst enemies txxo those inside the gates, men who "have onlv selfish motives in view, and who 
 measure the organization l)y what advantage they can individually get out of it. We cannot expect to bo 
 entirely free from such as these, but let them be closely watched, "and if possible keep ourselves free from this 
 class. AVe have a grand object, that of benefitting our class, socially and materially, and to do 
 this let us work together as one with a mutual purpose directed towards this end. Let the Suboidinate 
 Granges be live branches, working in harmony with the head, and the members, each and all, feeling that upon 
 them rests a duty, that of giving individual assistance, putting their shoulders to the wheel and working man- 
 fully for the accomplishment of our olijects. 
 
 It will not do to let the (Jrange gro«- weak or fail, society demands its support. Our interests, as farmers, 
 demands an organiz.itiou conducted in lur behalf. Each Subordinate Grange should realize the fact, and 
 when inclined to go down let the members lieai- in mind that your failure is not only a loss to yourselves but 
 exerts a depressing influence upon others \Ve exhort you therefore to hold fast to your Grange, sustain ai.d 
 keep up its meetings, as in time you will feel well rewarded for your efforts. 
 
 LECTURE BUREAU.

 way.
