At that time tbe state grunge bad not been organised Starting with twenty-eight member*, of whom eight are alive at the present day, five *tlll belonging to the Order, the number Increased to Ofty-four. Some co-operation In buying and selling was attempted In thC early days, which resulted satisfactorily for a time, but as It was by card system, after awhile It was dropped. After bolding lt» own for awhile the Houlton grange gradually lost ground and even wont so low as to think of surrendering its charter. In 1881 the membership reached Its loweet limit twenty, from which point the tide began to turn. This grange owns and occupies a grange store stocked with groceries, provision a seed, grain, etc. Tbe member* of the Order are supplied for cash at the oEoaoE m'i.xtosh. actual cost of the goods and tbe expenses of tbe store. In 1901 the business amounteu to *04.000. They also maintain an Insurance company, tbe total risks at the close of last year being *1.924.124. They also own and operate a starch factory, the annual output of which Is 150 tons of starch. The small or unmarketable potatoes are used at this 4 factory out of which to make the starch and coet on the average about 40 cents per barrel.

They voted *2200 to buy a lot. erect a shop and fit It out for business, and now tbe grangers are getting their horses shod for one-third less than other* have to pay. This grange own* Its own hall and lot. valued at *2.500, a stable that will accommodate sixty horses and cost *1.000. and their other property. Including the blacksmith shop and store. Is estimated to be valued at *15,000. They are discussing the question of marketing tbe potato crop direct Instead of selling to the middleman. The members ^of this grange raise 225.000 bushels of potatoes per-year This will mean a saving of many thousands of dollars In the next few years If the plan Is carried out. It may be well believed that Houlton grunge Is a power In public matters, and such measure* as tbe grange deems wise for tbe general community are usually found to prevail.
