I long to see the great army of producers in our country, turn their eyes up from their work; stir up those brains, now mere machines. . .set them to thinking, let them feel they are honorable, and farming the highest calling on earth. --OHK

OHK QUOTATION OF THE DAY:

After the 1866 Minnesota State Fair showcased buggy plows and other riding field equipment , Oliver Hudson Kelley writes: "Won't it be fun to be a farmer, when we can ride while doing all our farm work?  Now we can ride while plowing, drilling in the seed, reaping and mowing, ride while raking our hay, and if fortune favors us, we can ride to prosperity."  Yes, Grange Members, let us ride to prosperity and do something good.
