intrinsic virtues, and sustained by Its re-
markahle cures. So mild as to be safe and
beneficial to children, and yet so searching
as to effectually purge out the great cor
Fuptions of the blood, such as the scrofulous
and syphilitic contamination. Impurities,
or diseases that have lurked in the system
for years, soon yield to this powerful anti
dote, and disappear. Hence its wonderful
cures, many of which are publicly known,
of ScrOfuia, and all scrofulous diseases,
Ulcers, EruptiOns, and eruptive dis

plants, to which it would not seem especi-
ally adapted, such as DrOpSy, Dyspep-
Sia, Fits, Neuralgia, Heart Disease,
Female Weakness, Debility, and
LeucOrrh0ea, when they are manifesta-
tions of the scrofulous poisops;
It is an excellent pestprer of health and
strength in the Spring. By renewing the
appetite and Vigor of the digestive organs,
it dissipates the depression and hstless Ian
guor ofthe season. Even where no disorder
appears, people feel better, and live longer,
for cleansing the blood. The system moves
on with renewed vigor and new lease of
life.

The Farmers Union says: Now that
harvesting is over, take care of the tools.
A harvester that cost 5000 is too expen-
sive piece of machinery to lie out in all
weathers, exposed to wind, sun and rain.
One of our correspondents some time
since made the startling announcement
that ON an average they did not do over
two months work before they were worn
out-estimating that two weeks labor
was got out of them each year, and that
in four years they were used up. Now,
this ought not to be so, and yet it is on
par with much Of the farming in the west.
Build shelter, be it ever so cheap, and
store your machinery in it the first thing
after your grain is in the stack. Take
out the sickle, oil it, and lay it away in
the house for safe keeping. Clean thor.
oughly all the mettle work, and rub ii
over with tallow, to prevent rusting, for
this not only destroys your machine, but
causes friction, which will rack it to
pieces when it is next needed for use
and as soon as you can, paint it over.
Paint preserves the wood and keeps il
from sun cracks and rot If it is shelter,
ed, painted and kept from rusting, ami
the nuts properly screwed up when IN
use, good harvester will last a dozen
years, with occasional renewal of the
sickle.

Grass forth 9 South

Israel Lynch, Wall county, Ga,
writes; "Our land in this part of the
county is red clay, mixed with sand !;
when wet, is declined to run if stirred
after rain, when in right condition, it
pulverizos finely; if left TO become dry
it IS very hard, and it is nearly impossi-
BILE to work it. The land IS poor, and we
have no grass to keep stock TO make ma.
nure. We have broom@cdge and crab
grass clover does not remain long if
pastured short during dry spell 1t is
our only hope for the future to get a
grass that will carry q larc.r stock. Now
We don't carry more than three or four
head to the 100 acres Our land is up
land, dry and naturally hard. 1t is the
practice to use the land till it tails to pro
duce a crop, then abandon it to sedge and
pines for years, when necessity compels Us
to take it up again, poor rs it Is. Nov,
what We want Is grass that will stand
the hot sun and our long dry spells, and
not fail US, like sedge, for pasture. Please
| give Us light on the kind of grass we hear
| of, called Bermuda, also 81 kind called
| Cain grass, another called Guinea grass.
How are they propagated VIII they be
benefit to US or not? We can't expert
ment; we are too poor.
Reply-1he chief difficulty in the
way of growing grass or clover in the
South is the poverty of the land. One
cannot be always taking off and never
putting anything on, with any success in
raising crops The end is soon reached,
and the end in the South is generally
brown ssdge or scrub pine. The only plan
is to give the land a chance. For in.
stance, we would suggest in this case that
the crab grass or brown sedge be plowed
in, and, ii possible, twenty bushels Of
lime per acre be spread upon the land
We would then sow rye or winter oats,
and seed down to clover Cut or pasture
the clover, (but not both, and the SEQ
ond year, when it is past the blossom
after cutting or pasturing, pillow it under
and SOW in oats again, and seed dowT
! with clover. The oats should be cut
green for fodder When two fair crop.
of clover have been taken, and tn.
stubbles plowed in, the soil will bsar s
crop of corn or cotton, with manure Oh
fertilizer and after that, if the field could
be got into Bermuda grass, it will furnish
| probably, the best pasture you can get
But pasturing is not the best plan 70,
the South, if it can be avoided, and the
labor needed to ''soil" cattle upon suct
crops as clover, peas, winter oats, rye OF
corn, cut and feed to them in pens OF
sheds, eau be secured. In any case
however, good crops cannot be produced
until the land is enriched, and manure
is needed for this. And manure is no
made by pasturing, but by feeding il
sheds upon green crops, cut and carried
to them.-Ex.

Benefit of Organization.

The great triumph of the grangers, in
California, at least, promises to be in the
direct line of business. In this direction
they have already helped each other, III
the aggregate, many millions Of dollars,
though it is little over year since the
organization of the order was perfected by
the establishment Of the State Grange.
We think SO, 100000 would be low
estimate of the financial benefits alrealy
realized by the farmers of the state,
through the direct fundamentally of the
order and when we look into the future
for benefits, the plans for securing which
are already being arranged and perfected,
words and figures will hardly express
what may reasonably be anticipated.
The time will soon come when the grang-
ers will control, through a system of
grange banks, the largest amount OF the
money OF the state, and direct Its employ
ment in the building up of large circle
OF a material industries heretofore almost
entirely neglected. The great number
of grain warehouses going up this year,
and the rapidity with which they are
being filled, show that the farmers are
helping each other in way that staggers
! those VINO heretofore made immense Tor
tunes off the necessities Of this now vigor-
GUS class
The fruit drying establishments being
erected and operated all over the state,
show that the order is assisting the fruit
growers as well as the wheat producers.
| The cheese factories will be next in order,
and the dairy interest will be assisted and
encouraged and so with all other spec
ialties in the agricultural field.
One million people in a country like
the United States, engaged in the cult
walton of the soil, and the soil they cult
vate, associ5ted together for mutual pro-
lection and assistance, is grand achieve
ment Of itself, and with proper man
agement they can hardly fail to pretty
etfecluilly help each other.-Sacramentc

ta.ias OF. lhe Orange

The Rural Carolinian gets off little
bit Of fun on the ceremony of initiation,
that may crafty the outsiders and amuse
the initiated
The first thing the candidate is requir-
ed TO do Is to walk plank his ankles be-
ing tied together with pair OF pillow lines,
and his eyes securely blindfolded By a
cabbage leaf, bound on with several yards
of pumpkin vine squads of brothers,
armed with pitehforks are posted at each
end Of the plank, to remind the novice,
if need be, of the duty of upright dealing
and straight forward conduct. After
being lead barefoot in devious ways
(s,ilI bIindfoIded) through an old field
Astounding in horse nettles and blackberry
thickets (this is to remind him of the
importance of eradicating noxious weeds
the candidate reaches the stle Of three
steps by which entrance is gained to the
''ten-acre field" These steps must be
mounted backwards with the cabbage
leaf still bound over the eyes and several
sharp pitchlorks pointed at the breast.
The ten-acre field having just been
cleared, is full of stumps and other OBJ
structions, and is rather difficult to cross
in the dark and without a guide. Sepul-
chral voices calling him in various direc-
tions, but he must heed none OF them.
Should he be fortunate enough to get
across the field in safety, h. wili come
10 the high, double-front gate, where he
must give, as previously Instructed, the
double-and- everlasting signal OF
the order, which consists Of certain
number Of distinct raps, given with the
heel of the left foot, three feet and three
inches above the bottom Of the gate. The
gate keeper viii open a small secret panel
and demand "What do you want here
at this time OF night" The answer must be
the untranslatabie Latin password OF the
/ Patrons Greek, to most farmers), which
so much like "kick-up-a-luss," that the
difference will never be distinguished.
/ This must be shouted at the top of the
/ voice. as the gate keeper Is generally
/ hard of hearing Well, that is the way,
I in part, that one must get into the
/ grange. except that the ladies are excused
/ from some Of the more difficult gymnastic
performances.
We dare not describe the more solemn
rites performed within the inner gate,
including the hot plowshare ordeal aud
the iuvigorating horseback exercise on
the sacred goat {side-saddles are provided
for the ladies' but we can assure ali who
NAV wish to become Patrons that puck
and endurance will generally carry one
safely through them all, with not more
than one or two faiting fits on the part Of
the sisters, and that the latter, in addition
to the ordinary solemn, death penalty
OATH will only be required to sweal
never to divulge; even to husband o.
lover, the eabalastic words which the A
S. may whisper in the ears during th'
ceremony of browning the sacre'
heifer."

raeTe are two grand reasons. There
are bat few potatoes in hill that are fit
for seed. Some are overgroHn, course,
rank, and will not transmit the original
quality. Diners are undergrown, and not
fully developed seed. \ potato of medium

One other reason-eutting potatoes be-
tween stem and seed end, continually, is
wrong. 1t requires the stem and seed
end to make perfect seed. If cut, cut
lengthwise. Single eyes will run out any
potato. There is no other seed that will
bear mutilation like the potato the only
wonder is that it does not run out COM
