The Care Of Harness.

! From a bad harness as much danger
may be unprecedented as from bad car
riage, and, however skillful the driver
may be, if the harness is not perfect the
horses cannot be well managed Besides,
an old harness is always in want of re-
pairs, and many people, from saving no.
ton, continue repairing till there is scarce
a vestige Of the original left, and the re-
pairs have even cost twice the price of the
harness when new. That harness may
neither be thrown away too soon, nor
used so long as to become expensive and
troublesome in the repairs, it will be prop
er to observe the length of time it will be
expected to last, and what the expense for
repairing it may be, while in regular use.
A great measure depends upon the quail
ty of the leather, and the suficen-
cy of the workmanship; it is necessary
to examine at the first that the leather be
firm yet pliable, and that by pulling it it
does not contract in the width or extend
in the length. which bad leather will do,
and will, besides, be ragged at the edges
and rough on the inside Good sewing
also tends much to the preservation. The
furniture with which the winkers and
housings are mounted should be of silver.
and not of plated metal, which makes
but little difference in the first expense,
for they will last with the harness, but
otherwise are frequently obliged to be re-
newed.
Harness perishes with hanging by, and
however moderately it may be used, yet,
after SIX years, cannot be very fit for fur
Their service unless great care indeed has
been taken to preserve it. To prove its
goodness is to compare it with the number
of wheels worn out on the carriage with
which the harness has been used either in
town or country; in town it viii last with
three sets of wheels, and in the country
with two, or four years regular work.
the work on the average to be
about five or six miles day constantly.

The Capital Grange Resolutions
ON 1he SmbIecG of the Next Crop.
From the Liberty Herald

From the Liberty Herald
The Capital Grange at jackson,
recently adopted resolutions that the
members Of the order of Patrons of
Husbandry of the cotton States, and all
producers of cotton, be earnestly exhorted
to reduce the acreage in cotton the coming
year one third, and proportionally
increase the acreage in the various
descriptions of grain, fruit grasses and
other similar crops, for the reasons that
by operation of the law of trade, areduced
production of cotton will yield an equal
sum of money with the present production
ana the labor and capital which are
Withdrawn from the culture of cotton may
be proftably devoted to other crops,
which will increase the self-sustaining
resources, and contribute to the CONNER
cial independence of the cotton producing
States. These resolutions are replete with
good sence and wise economy, and we
earnestly advice every subordinate Grange
in the State to adopt, and not only to
adopt in the usual sense, but to adopt with
the intention of carrying it into practical
effect.

Agricultural Societies.

Why are so many of our agricultural
societies failures? Why do most of ouI
common farmers, after having once been
exhibitors or after having any business
connection. with the societies, become
disappointed With the fairs and SO dis
gusted with the managers that they lose
all hope of benefit from the institution and
shun them entirely? tits simply because
they find the societies almost entirely in
the hands Of men who care nothing for
the advancement of the general interests
Of the agricultural classes, or the diffusion
of knowledge among them; they are men
who are active IN promoting their own
interests only, and when the society can
no longer be made of service to them
they stand aside and let it go down.
1t can only be continued by going over
the ground again and levylng another
time on the farmers for contributions,
fees, etc. The annual exhibitions of
these societies furnish holiday or two in
the course of a year, and to class of
people that need more holidays than they
get. We do not object to the HOLIDAYS
we wish there were more rather than
fewer-and agricultural societies are not
entire failures as long as they offer
periodical and attractive recreation, with
chance that a few active and earnest
workers may pick up at the same time
crumbs of information. But all this ma
chiHery and expense cannot long be kept
up simply to furnish amusement, or for
the ACKNOWLEDGMENT and individual ben
eft of class of suckers who divertevery-
thing and give it a turn towards and into
their own pockets.
We warn the agricultural sharpers that
a new era is dawning. The question.
Who shall be the officers for the nexts
year? will not be the most important in
quiry. 1t will be how to secure a new
vitality, broader usefulness and a pros
porous future. Amy agent that will be
the means of disseminating the true doe
trines and advocating principles of action
that will secure to the producing classes
the advantages to themselves that are
now perverted and turned aside into 9TH
er channels, will be recognized as an ally
and treated as friend while those who
ignore all claims outside of the particular
field they set aside for the especial use of
and friends, who give the cold
shoulder to all enterprises that do not
promise them good returns, will them
selves be set aside for men of principle,
who have more enlarged views of their
luty as public men-to say the least

finds worthy representatives in our
merchants The receding true Of land
and submerged every material interest
Of our people for four long years, left
agriculture PROSTATE, upon the shores OF
insolvency behind it ruin, ON both sides
poverty, and before it a dreary waste of
debt, hardship and toll, with but one
little narrow path to security and case
which its unaided faltering footsteps,
could never hope TO reach-a sad retro
spect, desolate future. But commerce
as typefied by our merchants, was equal
to the emergency-with the same undaun-
ted spirit, with which they had battIed
against the enemies of the country, they
rushed to the assistance of their comrades
in arms. They poured the oil of consola-
ton upon its wound, stretched forth a
helping hand and raised that PROSTATE in
terest to its feet. They impaired strength
to feeble frame and with careful guidance,
brought it forth to the broad highway of
prosperity. Our merchants sir have
never been recreant to duty. Many fell
by the way side, and many an unnoticed
mound that the path way we have all
trod, tells the tale of many buried
fortune and many a sunken hope. Shall
we then ignore their Claims TO our respect,
confidence and gratitude Every chival-
rous feeling of our nature revolts at the
thought. Let us return the hand of
fraternal greeting across the chasm
misguided talent and bitter prejudice,
have created and be once again as in the
hours of our country's greatest agony,
loving Brotherhood. Then SIR let progress
be our watch word. Let economy stand
guard before our tents. Throw aside the
effete weapon, credit. Spread our new
banner, cash system, to the breeze and
calling on our old allies the merchants to
our assistance, move onward to success,
to fortune and to happiness.

MIR. PRESIDENT,
l am asked the question, "Why these
HARD TIMES ?"


In response [ would say, there are many
depressing causes 10 make times hard,
and to make the people disconnected and
unhappy. We have not recc vered from
the loss to us in the confiseation of our
property. In the loss of from one to two
thousand millions OF dollars, with the
destruction of our long cherished insti-
buttons, it is a wonder to me, sir, that our
efforts even to sustain life, have not been
paralized; and in forcing us to new modes
and customs, amid such humiliating de-
privations and hardships, sudden recuper-
alton could not be expected. Another
most potent cause to depress us and divert
our minds from the paths of prosperity is,
we have been most ANONYMOUSLY and
disgraeefully ruled by set of corrupt
adventures, assisted by few OF our own
people. who, like Esau of old, stand ready
10 disgrace themselves for a mess of pot
tape. Under such circumstances, every
interest might be excused for languishing.
You have been taxed beyond your ability
to pay. and that to feed those eormorants
and unscrupulous adventures q govern
ment ready to disgrace and debase you
bv elevating your former slaves-unft in
IDNTtIS.
bv The carpet-bagger, to make laws and
administer them for your government, is
we'll calculated to strip your energy, poison
your feelings, dry up your hopes and make
YOU so respondent that life itself should
have no charms, and even cause sever
ance of ties from your home and native |
land. Could we, sirs, have a government |
of our own, intelligent whites of our
''manor horn" our country would soon
prosper with happiness and contentment
difftlsed IN every hamlet and in every /
cottage. The bee, known for its industry
once disturbed in its hive, ceases to
work, and if quiet is not restored, will
perish. So with man while OPP
preston rules, there is no incentive to
effort.
You are making too little of everything
you need, and your cotton has to buy
these things, and having bought these
things on a credit, with the hope of
HIGH price for cotton you now find your
crop short and the money you realize
hardly reaches you before it starts to St
