Patrons of Husbandry, A secret order organized in the United States, Dec. 4, 1867, by O. H. Kelly, of the United States bureau of agriculture, for the purpose of promoting the social and material interests of persons engaged directly or indirectly in the agricultural and allied industries. The unit of organization is the local grange, subordinate to the State grange, and that in turn under the jurisdiction of the national grange. Although the order is non-political, the national grange has expressed favor towards the following subjects of reform: 1. Postal savings-banks. 2. Enactment of pure food laws. 3. Rural free-mail delivery. 4. Additional powers to the Interstate Commerce Commission. 5. Speedy construction of the Nicaragua Canal by the United States. 6. To prevent the pooling of railroads. 7. Impartial investigation of foreign trade relations. 8. Election of United States Senators by popular vote. 9. Settlement of international differences by arbitration.
