tors in the commercial centres. This ex-
pense of handling the cotton amounts to
at least $50 bale. Every farmer who pro-
duces bale of cotton, contributes $50 of
its value-that is, what it is worth to the
manufacturer before conversion into yarns
to the support Of the merchant and other
middlemen-almost one-half as much as
he realizes for the toll and expense that its
production has cost him. This sum he
would save if he could have his cotton
converted into yarns in factory of which
he would be part owner.
Our farmers will realize more clearly
and forcibly the pressing importance of
establishing ''new process" factories by
considering the operations of an entire
county. This county, for instance, pro-
duces 10000 bales annually. The produ-
GERS pay on this 10000 bales under the
present system, 5000, ,ooo-an immense
sum which goes to the building up OF
towns and cities, railways, etc., and to the
enrichment of other classes.
Now, to establish small "new process
factories amply sufficient to convert every
pound of this 10000 bales into yarns,
would cost not exceeding $4,000. This
could not be done at once; but begin
a movement would be started that would
in few years, result in the establishment
of all the factories necessary for the pur-
poses of the entire county.
The capacity of the Clement Attach.
ment to do all that is claimed for it has
been fully established. One of your com
mitttee has seen a "new process factory
in successful operation, and knows there
is no doubt on this point
Several factories are in successful op
Grafton in North and South Carolina and
two others are in course of erection in Ar
kansas-one at Conway and the other a
Texarkana, and still another will be erec
ted this winter at Paris, Texas.
Your committee would suggest that thi:
Grange appoint committee. to solici
subscriptions for stock in ''new process
factory, and take the necessary steps tt
organize a company to carry the enter
prise into immediate and successful ope

Speaking of cotton factory now in
operation in Georgia, the Atlanta Consti-
tuition says: The factory now in opera
ton at Westminster spins the cotton di-
rect from the seed by means of a machine
known as the Clement Attachment, and is
run by seven women and boy. Its ca .
pacity is between four and five hundred
pounds of seed cotton per day, and the
yarns manufactured sell in New York at
an average of sixteen and quarter cents.
The cotton is taken from the gin and brush
on a card and comes out in a roll, and
New York dealers say that threads made
by this process class a great deal higher
than threads made from compressed cot
ton Not particle of lint is left on the
seed, as in the ordinary gins. We are in
clined to believe that this method of pre-.
pairing the staple for market solves the
problem for the South. Wherever there
is a grist mill, planning mill. yarn factory
can be added without an increase of pow
er, and at very little increase of cost.

With a salary which was established in
the years of prosperity, the office holder,
with provisions produced almost with
pauper labor, is able to lay up more, and
buy more comforts and adornment during
the reign of this terrible money famine
which has reduced labor to beggary, than
he did when everybody else was well
paid and general prosperity pervaded our
happy land. Hence it is that all the sti-
pendiares in office and in the professions,
are arayed against the struggling people to
throw of, the expressions of the shylock.

Farming should occupy its 1ightful
place in the public mind-as at the head
of all occupations. Without it, there can
be no life, no business, no civilization 1t
is the basis of all wealth; the life blood
that throbs along the arteries of trade and
commerce, furnishes the sinews of every
business enterprise. 1t would seem that
in country SO largely devoted to agricul-
tuial interests, SO directly the product of
the farmers toll and patriotism, legisla-
ton would be more in the interest of the
farm and development of the agricultural
resources of the nation. But it is not.
Beyond a few ''plums" doled out by
grudging demagogues, our national stat
utes are blank concerning these interests.
Those who ''corner" farm products, who
grow rich from robbing farmers of just
returns for their toll, ringsters, subsidists,
and almost every species of monopolist,
have received the fostering care of our
statesmen. Are farmers and other labor
interests always to submit to such dis
elimination against them? Is it wrong to
demand remedy? There is unrest through
out productive classes that will burst forth
into consuming fire and sweep away all
obstacles to fair play, justice and impair
tiality in legislation and emoluments of
government, unless those in authority take
the initiative toward justice to all. The
people are tired of injustice, of a
civilization that breeds hate and knaves,
and of leaders who lead unto anarchy and
ruin. And the people yet rule and will
have change.

THE TRUE SEcRET-How many take
a wrong view of like, and waste their en-
ergies and destroy their nervous system in
endeavoring to accumulate wealth, with
out thinking of the present happiness they
are throwing away!
1t is not wealth or high station which
makes man happy. Many of the most
wretched beings on earth have both; but
it is a radiant, sunny spirit which knows
how to bear little trials and enjoy COM
fort, and thus extract happiness from ev-
cry incident in life.

The improved condition in the business
affairs of the country will doubtless bene-
fit the farmers. Cotton is advancing in
price, and it is possible that it will keep
pace with other products in the upward
tendency. The members of the Order
should take advantage of this returning
prosperity to strengthen their organiza-
ton and push forward the great work of
cooperation in business and industrial

REPORT ON "NEW PROCESS
COTTON FACTORIES.

The following report, presented by
a special committee at regular meeting
of Powell Grange, PA, October II, 1879,
Lowndes county, Miss, was unanimously
adopted and ordered to be published:
REPORT.
Your committee report that, next to a
thorough organization of farmers in the
Grange for cooperative action in business
affairs, there is no question of greater inn
portance to the farmers of the Cotton
States than that of manufacturing their
cotton and disposing of it in yarns and
cloth instead of in the raw form. 1t is,
perhaps, needless to state the fact that no
class who confne themselves to the pro-
duction of an article in its crude form, ever
become prosperous and independent.
These receive for the products of their
toll the bare cost of their production. In
growing cotton, for instance, the farmer
makes but little if any profit; and his ear
nings are regulated by the prices which
are constantly changing and over which
he has no control whatever. 1t is not until
it has passed into the hands of the middle
men that it becomes profitable article of
commerce. Every one that handles it

is high or low. The cotton growers will
always be at the mercy of the spectators,
and that means an annual loss of millions
upon millions of dollars, SO long as the
present system of handling the cotton crop
is permitted to exist The only way of
escape for the farmers is to establish small
factories, convert their cotton into yarns
and cloth, and dispose of it in those forms
IL ,,nIar tba old Of,
ufacturing cotton, it was virtually impos-
sble for the farmers of the South to es-
tablish factories, the outlay and ex-
pense being too great; but with the inven-
ton of the Clement Attachment, that OBJ
stacle is removed; and we here assert that
with that invention it is within the power
of any community of farmers producing
from 40 to 45o bales, to establish a facto-
ry and convert every pound of their cot
ton into yarns, More than this: the Glenn
ent Attachment dispenses with so much
machinery, buildings, motive power and
operatives, and prepares the cotton for the
spindles so much more rapidly than by the
"old process, that the annual net profits
Of ''new process" factory reach from Is
to 100 per cent on the capital invested.
AS seed cotton is used exclusively in a
''new process" factory, all the labor and
expense attending the ginning, baling and
transporting the cotton in bales, are saved.
Any farmer can readily estimate the i'm
portance and value of the time and labor
required to gin and transport his cotton to
| market
| A factory of three cards and Attach
| ments, with all the machinery new and
first class, for converting seed cotton into
yarns, and having capacity for spinning
1900 pounds per day, or 10000 pounds
per annum of 900 working days, equal to
! 400 bales of cotton, would not cost ex-
ceeding $4,000. This sum includes freight
on the machinery and steam engine.
The expenses and profits of a factory of
this size may be thus reduced to figures:

Paper Bags for Grapes.

Nj. b. Bateham furnishes the Practi-
cal Farmer the statements of two grape
growers in the neighborhood of Cincin-
natl, one of whom encased the punches
of grapes in bags of mosquito netting,
and the other in bags made of paper.
Their statements were somewhat con-
ficting, and we give an account ofboth
that our readers may experiment and
Judge for themselves. The object was
to protect the grapes from disease and
from the depredations of birds and in
sects. The former of these cultivators,
L. 5. Kennedy, states that he purchased
for forty-tive cents piece Of netting
eight yards long and two wide, one
square foot being sufficient for bag,
thus making IA bags. They We're
slipped over the punches, and tied close
ly about the stems with strings. These
afforded complete protection from in
sects, and partial security from the rot.
Mr.. X. has used this covering for more
than fifteen years. The other cultiya-
tor, Mr.. Yotinglove, employs paper
bags exclusively, aud states that he
took over seyenty-five dollars in pre-
miums after conveying these grapes a
hundred miles to the fair where they
were exhibited. Each cultivator strong
ly prefers his own method, both OF
which appear to have succeeded well.
Mr.. Younglove has used the paper bags
for nine years to limited extent for
grapes TO be exhibited, and states that
they color beautifully when thus pro-
tected. 1t is to be borne in mind that
the objection that the paper shades the
grapes from the sun, and prevents the
development of their color is hardly G
valid one, as their ripening does not
depend on the exposure of the fruit to
the SUMS rays, but to The full exposure
and development of the leaves. Mr.
Y. makes a strong statement when he
says that he has always obtained lar
ger number of perfect punches from one
hundred covered than one thousand
