"They cooldn't fool him," he said, " he had a scale's at home, and they should •try these dodges- on some one else !" The weigher insisted his weight was correct, and the: fareser was equally positive. Finally, a small wager was made, and the wheat was to be taken to other scales for the decision of the bet. As the farmer was preparing to get re- loaded, he found, much to his chagrin, a bag of wheat in the bottom of his sleigh, which he had overlooked when, deliver- ing his load. • • That farmer went home a •slightly poorer and much crestfalleu man!.

In . aun s ma season of summer we have not MO timer to spare but there are many leish e hours in winter that; could be .profi ably employed. -For example, if thel embers were to Visit their neigh.- ' borsi see their stock and stabling and way of - feeding, there could; be inter- chan e of thought in a conversational way, which mig t draw out new ideas or imProvements that would. be profit- able and interesting to all. Where the Fanner& Clubs - originated, they have met frequently at eich other's houses dur4ng the winter evenings, and discuss- ed subjects connected with the farm, and I think that all subjects that are - brou ht before the meeting taught to be thote) Oily discussed. There is a wide and Inple field for discussion. We know that it the present (Lay a great deal that is w jitters. on agriculture is written by men of no experience in farming.

A good deal was said at oi last teeting about the Grangfers, a so- cietyl that in a short time has spread all over America. Sociality was the lead- ing element of this society. l'hey em. - brace a good deal more now, and. what the ultimate result will be of such a large organization forming ;itself into i a secret society is hard to tell. I object to this society, first, on account of it S secrecy; second, because of its clannishness, as it excludes all other classes but fanners. Theis are already Cranges formed in . . Canada, and as all innovations travel fat at the present d y, it would be well Granges in Ontario.
