Grange must avoid politics to preserve its future
In a vigorous warning from Colman's Rural World, Grangers are urged to resist political action and maintain the order as a social and educational body. The piece argues political entanglement would disrupt unity, threaten growth, and undermine the Grange’s mission, urging county representation at a Jefferson City convention and adherence to nonpolitical aims. It also notes farmers have advanced intellectually and commercially, cautioning against compromising that progress. A secondary note recalls historical cattle imports and progressive weight gains in markets, highlighting selective feeding as key to rising cattle weights.

A contemporary notes cows rarely kick without cause. Teats may be chapped and the udder tender, harsh handling hurts and prompts kicking. Trim long hairs and nails, bathe chapped teats, grease, and milk gently to keep cows calm and milk flowing. Whipping a cow to stop crying is likened to mistreating during milking, a harmful parallel.
