RYE PASTURES.

MessrS. Editors :-The tact Is re-
markable, though undeniably true,
that the Southern States of this con-
federacy, comprise the only country
on the face of the earth. where grass
is not considered a production OF
prime Importance. Now, I would
ask, is it quite certain that we cotton
planters have judged wisely in set.
ting at nought a crop on which all
the world besides, places the highest
value? My own persuasions are
clear, that in this matter we have
egregiously erred.
But I am not going to open a IT,
rade in favor of clover, timothy, lu-
cerne or any other favorite grasses.
My purpose is to call attention to the
Importance of rye, wheat or barley
lots for the winter and spring pastu-
rage Of milch COWS, calves, sheep,
colts and pigs. Cotton and corn will
continue, especially the former, to
engross most of our attention; but
cotton is not the sunnastm bonatn Of
a. southern planter. He wants, above
all things, a healthy and happy fam
ily-at least, it is of infinitely moro
consequence than scores Of cotton
bags. But it is plainly impossible
that he can have healthy family or
able bodied laborers without adequate
supplies of nourishing food. In most
or all other countries, this food is de-
rived, directly or indirectly, from
meadows or other grass lands. Beef,
pork, mutton, milk and butter, for
the full development of the physical
man, as we'll as hay, that rough for
aqe, without which the best supply Of
grain would but lily sustain our hor-
ses, mules and oxen, cometo us chief
~ from grass or herbage, under one
name or another. The great value
of this sort of crop, though almost
spurned by cotton planters, may be
appreciated by the we'll known fact,
that in most other countries, lands
we'll adapted to the production of
grass, sell for much higher prices
than those on which grains are grown.
Fhe woods and fields in this country
afford tolerable grazing during the
summer months how do our cat
tie fare in the winter, especially the
young ones and dams? I need not
state what every body knows. I
need not denounce the absurdity of
expecting thrifty calves, colts, lambs
and pigs from dams which, for at
least one-third of the year, have
scarcely food enough to keep their
breathing apparatus in motion.
Admit that our soil and climate are
unpropitious to- the blue grass and
clover of Kentucky, on which such
herds of beeves, hogs and mules are
raised, we have a capital re-
source in rye, wheat and barley fields.
In this temperate region they can be
made to supply far more rich and
VALUABLE winter grazing, than the
best pennial grasses in the world, ex-
cept perhaps, the mesquit grass Of

THE AUTOMATIC ORGAN.


In presenting the Automatic Organ, we
boldly announce the greatest triumph in mu-
steal instruments of the age. During the
past half century, the French and Germans
have manufactured reed instruments with
double bellows, and two pedals for the feet to
operate; but the want of the reversed or ex-
haustion bellows, (which is the only bellows
used In our instruments made it impossible
for them to produce the mellow, rich and mel
low tone for which our instruments are ccc-
brated.
Another objection to this method Of blow
ing was, that both feet being occupied, no op-
portunity was offered for the management OF
the swell. Within the past two years, instrn-
mcnts constructed on this European plan OF
souble bellows" have been manufacturcdin
this country, and to countcract this difficulty
(want of a swcll) lever has been projected
from the centre of the instrument, to net on
the swell, and operated by the knee. The in
convenience and contortion necessary to effect
this object, are disagrccablc enough to gen.
tlcman, but to lady the use of such. an ap-
pendage is nearly impossible.
Our Automatic device obyiatcs this difficult
ty entirely, the simple act of blowing with
more or less force giving the desired increase
OF decrease in the volume of the tone. We
predict for this invention IL brilliant future.
MELODEON AND SCHOOL ORGAN
For seventeen years the superior excellence
of our Melodeons has not been questioned,
and fortwo years past the enormous demand
has made it impossible for lis to meet our or
ders promptly. With our Increased facilities
we feel warranted in assuring our patrons
that their orders will be promptly met, and
solicit u continuance of their patronage.
