MEETING OF THE NATIONAL GRANGE IN
CEARLEsToN.-The National Grange, Patrons
of Husbandry, of the United States, will com
mence its annual session in Charleston on the
first Wednesday in FEBRUARY, 1875.
1t will be great occasion for this city, Ior
the State of South Carolina, and for the South
generaly-indeed, we may say, for the whole
country, since it will promote, as nothing else
could, the true unity of the Republic and fra
ternal feeling and kindliness among the people
of all parts of our land. 1t will bring here
representatives of the Union, and from the
British Provinces, all working together for
the common good, and all bound to each other
by the most sacred obligations and the closest
brotherly ties. The spectacle will be impress
sive, and its significance of the gravest import.
The representatives of Oranges come here for
work, and that work will be of the most serious
and important character.
We trust it will be wisely performed. But
we believe in recreation as we'll as in work, and
the Patrons of Charleston and of the State in
tend to provide such means of recreation as
will make the visit of our brothers and sisters
from abroad as pleasant as we have no doubt it
will be profitable. Next month we hope to be
able to give our programme of reception and
entertainment in full. In the meantime
brothers and sisters of the North, the South,
the East and the West, be assured that warm,
hearty. fraternal welcome awaits you IN this
famous old historic "City by the Sea-" We
open the doors of our homes and our hearts
with true Southern hospitality to all who come
with the pass words and signs Of the "Noble
Order of Patrons. ."-Rurai CaToliniaa for De-

TIE TRANSIT OF VESUs.-Telegrams from
various sources report the successful obserya-
ton of the transit of Venus. The elaborate
and costly expeditions sent to so many points
of the earth, to note the movement OF the
planet as it passes across the centre of the
solar system, provokes inquiry as to the OBJECT.
The Baltimore american gives the reason
briefly, thus: -.
The primary object is to ascertain the dis
tance of the sun from the earth, which, once
fixed. will enable us to determine the distance
of ali the various members of the planetary
system from the earth and from each other,
even to that of Neptune, so far removed that
one of it's days is a cycle of our years, whilst
the warmth Of the rays Of the sun never reach
es its perpetual ice and snow. Our distance
from the sun is yardstick for measuring other
celestial distances, and when that is once de-
fnitely known, we have positive basis to go
upon for measuring space. The preliminary
trouble is that there are millions OF miles OF
difference in the various estimates OF the dis
tance between the earth and the sun. The an.
cient astronomers fixed it at five millions OF
miles: but Encke calculated it at ninety-hve
millions. which has been the common accepta-
tion I'D to the present time. But the object to be
attained is absolute certainty, and the SUPPOSE
tion is that the modern perfection OF science
would attain this from the observations OF the
recent transit of Vens. 1t is the claim OF
scientists that it will enable them to arrive at
certainty in their work and demonstrate 1t to
the popular comprehension. Under such con-
ditions it is not difficult to understand the val
ue of these observations.

DON'T Farm Too Much Land.

The most unwise and discouraging thing
farmer ever does is to try to cultivate TOO mucn
land. If no more than ten acres can be I'M :.
proved at time, by all means confine yourself
to ten acres. Don't farm an acre in such
manner that it deteriorates in value tor the
next years crop. What opinion would we
have of a grocer who so abused his patronage
as to make it sure he would have no returns
from it the following year? 1t is extreme
folly to cultivate land that will not pay for the
tillage, and all land will, sooner or later, reach
this State unless it is farmed we'll by we'll we
mean intelligently and improvingy, II we may
be allowed the expression. All available 1er-
tilizers should be used on the best OF land, ana
not allowed to 60 to waste, until the iano pc
gins to grow poor. We feel that many farmers
are making great mistake IN burning thef
straw and fodder, allowing manures TO waste,
and lands to be drained of everything tna1
grows upon them for successive years, merely
because thew are new. They are not, conse..
ouently, inexhaustibe, and the evil effects OF
this system, or rather want of system, will be
seen much sooner than now anticipated. Inc
old rule. that ian ounce of prevention is worth
a pound of cure," holds good in agriculture as
we'll as in hygiene, and we would impress 1t
mon the minds of our farmers that it Is far
cheaper and easier to keep our land rich and
in GOOD condition than it will be to reclaim 1t
when it once becomes Improbable
It is a source of delight as we'll as profit to
gather fine crops, but it is sadly disheartenlng
to gather but little more than the seed, and
feel that through ones negligence and igno-
rance the time and cost Of tillage have been
thrown away. Limit yourselves to whatever
number of acres can be made to grow maxi
mum crops; it is cheaper, easier and more
profitable, and vastly more satisfactory.

out" made chill run up my spine. Yes, they
did know it, too, but it wasn't their snag, ana
they didn't care.
If I sat down to dinner that old tooth began
to growl. If I went to bed, or got up, or went
TO party, or staid at home, she growled just
the same. It wasn't always a growl; some

OATS AS HORSE FEED.-It is a very gene
raj belief among our people that for horses or
mules required to do farm work, no food is as
nutritiye as corn, and that it is impossible to
"keep up the stock" on any other kind OF
grain. This is q great mistake, however. l
am satisfied from long and careful experience
in the management of draft animals, that good,
sound oats are by far the most nourishlng and
wholesome food for either horses or mules on
plantation, for the reason that they are more
easy of digestion, are less liable to sour, and
are more easily assimilated than corn In any
share. For instance, never saw mule or
horse fed on good, clean oats troubled with
colic or fatulency. l allude only to good,
clean oats. IF they are musty or mouldy they
are the worst possible food, and will produce
the worst result; but if they are sound and
about four or FIVE months old, l am positive
that no other food is as good or possesses the
combination of healthful and nutritlve quail
ties as they do, no matter what the WORK whicn
the animals are required to DO.
A horse or mule doing very hard work may
be allowed to eat as much as he WILL, without
injury. He should have just little good hay
or fodder in addition. For an animal doing
light work less quantity may be given, and
Good condition will be kept up if they are
Ground coarsely and mixed with chopped food,
and sprinkled with little salt and water:
Corn is the most expensive stock food that
we can possibly use. Oats are cheapest; and
most easily raised. Even were corn as whole
some food as oats, the latter are preferable in
an economical point of view. But were the
coat of both equal, should prefer the oats as
the more conducive to the health and seryicea-
bility of the stock.-Farm and Home.
