AWE. 1880 - ~
= Mfr. B, F. Magee in an able address be-
fore the Indiana Sheep Growers Associa.
Ptfonin speaking of pasturing sheep says:
'SThere is one thing about pasturing sheep
that has been overlooked, viz: the damage
done to the grass by Being run over by
/ the flock. While Ebelieve one acre of
good grass would keep five or may be
eight sheep well, II do not believe 100
acres would keep FIVE hundred sheep.
Five sheep. would probably do but little
damage to one acre, even though they
were confined to-it, for in grazing they
would make but few tracks over it in a
day, and would easily find fresh grass
each day. But suppose we put 500 sheep
in a 700 acre Hot; if each FIVE sheep would
con6ne themselves to their own particular
acre, they would probably do we'll in
summer But they Win not do this, and
right here is where theory and practice
| part company. Our five sheep start out
to Craze, and the 4e5 go along with them.
Now a sheep-is a dainty creature, and
likes clean food. So the 4Iindertnost part
of the flock keep pushing ahead, paying
/ little or no attention to what has been al
| ready run over, and being i'll each other
| way each would go over ten times as
much ground, before it is filed as it
Eloughto And having SO much more work

Il one that can satisfy itself with little or no
exertion. Going over the trail too fire.

for grass, is doubtless what makes large

THE LECTURER A FACT

| The real business of the Lecturer is to
, gather facts These, if made known, at
the meetings of the Grange, woald.lead to
discussion (Which in awakening thought
upon andIinterest I'M the subject eonsid-
cred, would lead to valuable results. Many
are of thesopinioathatl subjects, other than
! those heretofore discussed, are proper
ones TO be considered by the Grange:
such, for instance, as transportation, taxa
ton, rate of interest, protection of the
wool growing and fstock4growing inter
tests, eetc.H hIt Is believed that these, and
Sother similar questions, should be disclissl
ed. until some definite conclusions are
reached and endorsed by the action of the

The Lecturer of the Grange should not
confiHe himself strictly to the ritualistic
feature of the Order, but he sfould'grap-
pie with any and every practical question
of direct interest to the members. Impor-
tant as the educational feature of the
/ Grange may be considered, the question
I-of How can we make the farm produce
more at a less expense than fiowf is one
sure to arise. Progress implies the pro-
motion of ones material prosperity in or
der that means may be acquired so that
the home may be improved and the com
forts and social advantages OF the family
may be increased. lsa9 stif . z
1t is manifestly the duty of the Lecturer
of each Grange to furnish food for
thought. He should be constantly on the
alert IN devising ''waysand naeans'to cred
itably fill the position to which he has
been called, SO that he may be of benefit
Z to each member of the Grange. LectHr-
efs, as rule, are selected because of their
intellectual attainments and their sound
and practical good sense. They can, if
they WILL do more to deepen and increase
the interest of the membership in the Or
derothan any other officer connected with
the Subordinate Grange. The advantages
that can be conferred upon the Grange by
an active and intelligent Lecturer, can
hardly be over estimated. Therefore, we
say, let the Lecturer be active and wide
! awake. Let him Search for facts and then
Communicate them: for facts are the only

iIgs of the Order of the Patrons of Hus-
bandry, it is not a matter of surprise that
I there presentatives from the various States
in the Union should meet as they do, and
discuss all matters pertaining to the Order
and the prosperity of the country at large,
lima spirit of genuine fraternity and mu-
Etual confidence More is due to the fra.
pterhal spirit manifested by the members of
this Order, than its enemies imagine. 1t
| is proper that it should be so. tits meet
that feprese nting the leading
| industry, upon which the success of all
other collateral industries depend, should
take the bread and philanthropic view of

try. We were GLAD to note after the close
of the5late civil war, that the Grange or
ganization did its full share of the noble
work of rekindling a flame of patriotism
in the hearts of the people. We trust
that no sectional Influences will eve, gain
a foothold within the gates of the Grange
On the contrary, it is the wish and hope
of every good Patron that every member
of the Order should fully realize that they
are indeed BROTHERHOOD bound together
by the indissoluble ties of fraternity and
loves- GrdnSe: Bulletfn.h i 7Ha4 tt@"l

Fruit Growing.

The value of fruit crops in the United
States is estimated by the Government
statistician at $40, 10000 annually, or
about half the value of the wheat crop.
The value of the annual crop of Michi-
gan is put down. at S4,000,000. Cali
fornia has 10000 acres of vineyards
producing 100000 gallons of wine
annually, besides vinegar, raisins,
brandy and fresh grapes. The other
States produce 100000 gallons of
wine annually. The single port of Nor
folk, Va, reported 100000 quarts of
strawberries last year. Illinois, a
prairie State, whose fruit growing is
of recent origin, now has 320, 200 acres
of orchards.
According to recent official state
ments, the land appropriated to this
branch of industry is $500, 900 acres.
Upon this there flourish 112, 900, 900 ap-
pie trees, 2S,000,000 pear trees, 49,
270,0 peach trees, and 141, ,260,0
grape vines. The total value of the
fruit crop throughout the United States
is set down at $238, 8,219,7 700, an amount
equal to half the value of the average
wheat crop of the country. Towards
that large sum apples are held to con-
tribute $50, 400, 900, pears $14, 190, 900;
peaches S47, 1876, 900, grapes 80, 900,
strawberries S5,000,000, and other
fruit so, ,432, 900.

The South Carolina Cyclone.

The cyclone at Walterboro, S. c.,
last week, is described with graphic
power by a correspondent of the
Charleston NetOS and Courier. Before
the tempest were to be seen a court
house, Jail, two hotels, number of
law offices, dozen stores, one acad-
emy, seven churches, and about ninety
dwelling houses, besides the large COM
plement of kitchens, negro cabins, barns,
stables and other outbuildings always
found in an old Southern town. The
churches and academy were destroyed,
and of the ninety dwelling houses sixty
with their accompanying outbuildings
are uninhabitable. A grove of wild or
ange trees was stripped of its berries,
and these descended in a shower ten
miles beyond. A lady's trunk was taken
from the garret as the house fell and
carried by the wind half mile into a
swamp. A fOur-horse wagon was lifted
from yard and blown thirty feet away
over fence eight feet high. A basket
of books was taken from a house and
deposited in tree three-fourths of a
mile distant. A sheep was found lying
in the road with every particle of wool
taken from it as cleanly as a razor could
have done it. One lady as she felt the
house giving away gathered her chill
dren in her arms and knelt by bed
with her infant under her body. The
building fell upon them, and they were
nearly buried in a shower of bricks and
mortar, although all escaped with only
few bruises and scratches. The infant
being nearly suffocated by the dust, it:
mother, with remarkable GOODNESS
blew into its mouth until its lungs re-
sumed their work.

and his Judgment was excellent and
satisfactory" n
In the course of his travels Magema
passed through sacred grove reserved
for the interment Of Zulu Kings and
princes. No wood from these groves
is ever used as fuel; for the Zulus hold,
with certain amount of truth, that in
burning wood sprung from the soil in
which their Kings lie buried they would
be burning the transformed substance
of the Kings themselves, Once upon u
time wood was said to have been
chopped from grave in which the re-
mains of chief named Lembede had
been laid upon which Lembede showed
himself in the form of snake, and was
very angry, and went to the kraal which
had chopped the wood, until number
of cattle were turned on and eaten t.
make atonement; after which the snake
returned to his grove
King Cetewayo is described as black
head -ringed' man, resembling his
father, the late King Banda, and firm
in flesh. He is large, but his body is
firm, not fabby, like the bodies of other
large men among the Zulus. His face

ly," which is not astonishing, as Ma
gema had not set eyes on him for sew
enteen years. His Majesty was attired
in spotted blanket, which he wore
with certain grace. In Zululand the
King has certain times of abstinence,
and the people, too, in like manner.
The chief time of abstinence is that of
the new moon. Another is on a day
when hail falls, or when fresh wind
blows, or when lightning strikes any
thing, or when a neighbor dies, on
which days they neither work nor leave
the kraal. Magema talked very little
to Cetewayo on political subjects. He
complained, however, that the white
men were always talking, talking,
talking" and that they wanted to
come down with might upon him"
He was sure, meanwhile, that he had
done no wrong. "And as | have no
wrong" he added, 81 shall not run
away, though know that through
| that the ruin of this land will come"
