THE GRANGER CHURN,
A new invention,
Makes the best of butter
With the least attention.
Now all good dairymen,
Who would a reputation earn,
Should make their butter
In the Granger Churn.
1t makes more butter
From the same amount Of cream
Than any other Churn
That ever was seen.
And 1t makes il so yellow,
With such excellent taste,
1t is the pride of the seller,
For it sells in such haste.
The grocers all want it.
The butter 1 mean
To supply all their customers,
From labOrer to queen.
1t will churn in five minutes,
am happy to say,
And does not waste time
Like the Old-fashioned way.
Those that have tried it
Speak in complimentary terms
And say they will use it
In preference to all other Churns.

The Effect of the JeItieS on New
Orleans and the Mississippi
Valley.

We copy the following from Finan
cial and Commercial Chronicle, ofNew
York in reference to the deepening
of the mouth of the Mississippi river,
by means of the Eads' Jetty system :
If the end sought can be really at
tanned, we look for decided change
in the business at New Orleans. Of
course all trade channels work them
selves into importance, like Captain
Eads' jetties, slowly. As is well
known, however, the bar at the mouth
of the Mississippi River has always
prevented any considerable develop
ment in breadstuff shipments. Much
has been written in the North about
wheat and corn heating, when taken
that way; but ace are persuaded there IS
nothing IN this idea. Remove the bar,
that is, give vessels % or more feet of
water, and, we fancy, after that there
will be very little discussion of the
heating question. The trouble is now,
that it pays better to take cotton but
with the improved channel they can
carry a mixed cargo and make more
money. For instance, the Mississippi
and Dominion steamers, which run
between New Orleans and Liverpool,
are never loaded to their carrying ca
pacity. They fill up with cotton, and
load down to-say 10 feet; but, remove
the bar, and they will carry just about
the same amount of cotton, and put in
wheat as dead weight, loading down to
The farmers' vindicator., 1876-05-05

% feet. This is simply an illustration
Of general well-known truth. Now,
suppose we add to it one further fact,
stated to US by New Orleans friend
who proposes to do it himself as soon
as the, difficulty at the mouth of the
river is removed-that is, bring wheat
to New Orleans from Cairo at three
cents a bushel. Very possibly this is
a little overdrawn, and may not be re-
allied; but our informant's plan con
templates the construction Of pecu-
liarly made boat, with double bottom,
which will Permits returnupthe river
without too much resistance from the
current. We might add that the per-
son we refer to is man whose business
capacity has been demonstrated by a
success few attain, and possessing ener-
gY enough to prove Gf we did not know
to the contrary that his birth was
among the New Hampshire hills.
But, aside from this individual pro-
mise, it is not reasonable to suppose
that, after the Mississippi is opened at
its mouth and low freight to Europe
for breadstufs become possibility,
some inexpensive mode of floating
wheat down that river will be adopted,
so as to saue to the producer several cents
a bushel, and soluing the question Of cheap
transportation for the extreme Western
sections We are persuaded that there
is much in this idea, and that the fu.
ture of New Orleans, lazsat large. expor-
ter Of grain, is very promising. The
people themselves are not much. more
than beginning to understand the ST.
tuation. 1t is not their fault, though,
but the fault of a base, corrupt power
which has held their energies in check
while stealing the little they did make.
Now, however, this is being changed.
Carpet-bag rule is at its last gasp, and
we may soon hope to see that beautiful,
fertile portion Of our country left free
to develop its wonderful resources.
The farmers' vindicator., 1876-05-05

involve a radical change in the mode
Of farming hitherto generally followed,
the continuous, clean cultivation OF
cotton, with, perhaps, now and then
a change to corn, ON the same land as
long as it will produce either, being
then almost, if not quite, divested OF
vegetable matter, and in consequence
thereof whatever inorganic elements it
holds being in an 'insoluble" condition,
it is then abandoned to sedge, briars
and gullies. For this a greater di.
versity of crops must be adopted under
a system that will keep these uplands
at least two years out of four (the
longer the better) occupied by some Of
those plants having the power of con-
verting the crude materials of the soil
into available" matter, not only in
promoting their own growth, but with
the additional object of Improvement
Of the soil for other crops, and at the
same time affording a reasonable re-
turn for their cultivation. Pre.emi-
nently qualified for this purpose, are
the field pea and clover, the former
being almost universal in its adaptation
to soils Of all characters; where it is to
be used for the purpose proposed, the
vines should never be removed from
the land, but will pay good profit on
its cultivation in feeding hogs on the
peas which they should gather for
themselves, to be followed by rye
treated in the same manuer.a Glover
is adapted to those lands only having
clay sub soil, and will be found to be
a paying investment beyond its great
Improvement Of the soil, affording the
most nutritious food for all kinds of
stock, whether as pas:urage or cured
into hay. Both these plants contain
notable quantities of the elements of
food, which by the chemists are con-
sidered essentials for both animals and
plants, they, nevertheless, will extract
them from soil that apparently, by
analysis, auas deficient in them.
In the adoption of the system which
Is here pointed out, other great bene-
fits can be confidently depended on to
follow, not the least of which is that
reduced area in clean cultivation re.
duces the necessity for large part of
the labor now required, it being the
most expensive and troublesome item
IN agriculture, by the introduction of
these renovators, the natural addition of
grasses will follow; 10 consume the
large quantity of food as pasture and
hay, stock of all kinds will be added,
which, in their turn, will supply meat,
work stock, wool and other articles
which are now purchased from other
localities, by which all the scant earn
ings under the present system are con.
'umed, resulting in profit to others
only. d.

MAJOR WALL: Possibly few lines
from the VINDICAToR's "old home" will
be interesting to some of your readers.
Yesterday was regular meeting day
of Capital Grange, No. 10, of this
city, and as very interesting meeting
was held. This, as you know, is one
of the most fourishing Oranges in the
State. We are now endeavoring to
add a library to the Grarge. The
plan adopted is this: Each member is
to contribute one or as many books as
convenient. There being about $50
members, each contributing, say, on
an average, of two books, will make
up library of 300 valuable works,
and without any expense whatever.
The advantage is readily seen, tor by
donating one or two books each indivi
dual member has access to library OF
300 volumes. A librarian will be Sc
lected, and no member will be allowed
to take second volume from the il.

of the planters has been directed to the
adoption of more correct system Of
farming, in accordance with recent
scientific discoveries in agriculture, rs
we'll as introducing for extensive cul-
ture crops hitherto unknown in the
South; for instance, jute, which, as has
been proven by careful experiments,
may be probably, cultivated in many
parts of the Southern States. This
may become staple second in import
ance only to that of cotton. We are
glad to observe that factories for the
manufacture of cotton goods are largely
multiplying in the South, especially
in Georgia. We are confident that
cotton, jute and wooden factories will
soon appear in the States of Louisiana
and Mississippi. The marvel is that
New Orleans has not been the Ameri-
can Manchester. With the largest
quantity and the finest quality of cot
ton in the world arriving in that city,
and with abundance Of labor seeking
for employment, yet hitherto these
enormous advantages have been neg
lected. But this state of things, we
feel sure, will not long endure. If,
from whatever cause, the capitalists Of
New Orleans and other cities fail to
enter into manufacturing enterprises,
so soon as the extraordinary advantages
of the South for the manufacture of
cotton and other fabrics are thoroughly
known in Europe, European enterprise
will accomplish that which Americans
have overlooked. So, too, with the
iron of Alabama and Tennessee. AS
is well known, the iron Of these States
is equal in quality to that of England
and Sweden. Capital and enterprise
operating in the mines of the South
will have richer rewards than those
of the gold and. silver mines of Cali.
fornia and Nevada. We trust the dark
clouds of disaster are passing away,
to be succeeded by long sunshine of
We eare confident that the
Valley of the Mississippi will yet be-
come one of earth's busiest lands of
agricultural and manufacturing indus
try, and to hasten that end, is one of
the pleasant tasks of every lover of the
South. ID. J.

ResiOrntiOn Of UpIands.

Nature, in her wise economy of uni.
versal compensation, has provided GER
tain classes of plants and animals with
powers of digestion that enables them
to subsist on the crudest materials,
thereby preparing them for food for
Others of more delicate constitutions,
in a regular graduation from original
chaotic formations to the most refined
and soluble condition. Using those
hidden powers, long unsuccessfully
sought by the alchemists of old, of
transmitting the baser into the purer
by its many agents and combinations,
it transforms substances into others
totally different in condition and effect
from the originals. In the action of a
class of plants possessing the power to
draw substances from the chemists
"insoluble" part of our soil and its
transformation into vegetable matter,
we must look for the means by which
the deterioration of the soil can be
both prevented and remedied. In
that form it ameliorates the physical
character of the soil, fermenting and
decaying these into soluble condition,
and supplying humus, at the same time
acting on the "insoluble" inorganic
matter in contact with it, and furnish
ing available food for the more delicate
of cotton, grain and other
plants we wish to cultivate; also, in
preventing the waste from washing
rains by the increased power of absorp-
ton and the fibre the vegetable matter
will give to the soil, in addition to the
shade during growth in protecting it
from the rays of the sun and conse-
luent evaporation of its volatile ele-
ments.

and restoration into practical effect will |

FINANCE AND TRADE.

LONDON Feb. a. 1870
Speculation at the Stock Exchange has been almost
at standstill during the past week Investment Sc
curites have been quiet and steady while the market
has had an upward tendency
AMERICAN SECURITIES
American securities and consols which at one time
were weak and lower, close strong at an advance OF
one-eighth the week.
AND EGYPTIAN.
Spanish stocks have displaced Egyptians as a specu-
lative medium and show advance OF one to two per
cent, chiefly Continental buying Egyptian secur-
tiles also show slight Improvement but the scale OF
operations is small compared with that of the previous
fortnight.
PARIS MONEY MARKET
The Paris market has decidedly improved in con-
sequence Of the favorable settlement The disposition
OF political doubts have given decided up
ward tendency TO French securities
RUSSIAN, TURKISH EGyPrIAN
There have been purchases Of Russian, Turkish
and Egyptian securities here for Continental account
which saved the market from absolute stagnaton.
RAILWAYS.
English railways are weak and lower on further un-
satisfactory dividends Money is drug in the market
DISCOUNT.
During the early part of the week there were pre-
dctions in some quarters OF reduction the Banks
minimum rate of discount from from four per cent,
but the regular weekly bank return showed
in the reserve OF f3l0 291 and of 600
in "other deposts"-the proportion Of reserve to
liabilities being about one-half per cent less than last
week. In the open market have hardened
ngly The probabilities to favor the mainte-
nance Of present rates. Money from day 10 day has
been by the requirements OF the monthly
tement for consols.
OK THE CONTINENT.
The Continental exchanges show no material change.
THE MARKET
In the London corn market there has been limited
trade Of a dull and unsatisfactory character. Values
have varied materially but such slight changes
have been made in favor Of buyers
At the leading provincial markets on Tuesday
Wednesday and yesterday wheat was a sixpence to o
shilling lower
The imports have been fairly good-say 245 900 quar-
ters The arrivals Of maize have been moderaeS5

At Mark lane business Is quiet holders being shade
less anxious than Wednesday and Monday but
