The following letter from the proprie-
tor of the little factory at Windsor, N. c.,
is of interest to the farmers of the Cotton
States:
s- WINDSOR, N. c., Oct. I, 1870.
Mr.. e. +. Akers.: Yours of Sept. 18th
is received. We are running two Glenn
ent Attachments. We have been running
about three months. The Attachments cost
$500 each. We are running 6I2 spindles,
cost at Bridesburg, Pa, S. per spindle.
The top fiat cards cost $225 each; card
clothing $50; one drawing frame, six de-
liveries, six into one, 5000; one block list
speeder S45o;. two reels, 40 spindles each,
$2so; one cotton cleaner $72.
Fifteen horse power is sufficient to run
the above machinery. We. use 1000 lbs.
seed cotton per day, and make an average
of 900 pounds of yarns daily. We work
ten hands: one engineer at 81 per day;
one foreman 81; four girls at so cents each,
and four girls at 40 cents each. We con-
sumo of a cord of wood per day at $I.25
cord. Our mill nets us from So to $40 per
day. We get from 10 to II cents per ID.
for our yarn. We sell in Norfolk, Balti-
more and New York.
The ssnew process" has an advantage OF
halt over the cold" We dispense with the
| lint room and all the machinery used
therein. We do three times as much work
on our card as can be done on the same
card in the 'sold process" The cotton can.
not fly or leave the machine until it passes
off into silver, or continuous roll, into Z

which can be dispensed with.) There arr

We run by steam, and think it cheaper
than water, everything considered. The
more Attachments or the larger your mill,
the greater will be your profits, as the ex-
pense does not increase in proportion.
The main object is to find out how much
seed cotton you can get, and build your
mill accordingly. One great beauty of the
Clement Attachment is that you can build
on very small scale and make it profi!a-
Bile; and another is, that the Northern
people cannot utilize it, because they can't
get seed cotton, and therefore they are
down on it, and doing all they can against
it. We sell our seed at &c. per bushel to
the farmers. -.
Our machinery is all new and of the
latest and best improved, Second hand
machinery can be bought for half the
money, and cheaper class of new ma
chinery can be bought, but always pre-
fer the best if it does cost little more
/ hope to live to see the day when ev-
ry pound of cotton raised in the South
will be manufactured in the South; then
we will become a prosperous people. We
have labored long enough to enrich the
North, and now it is time our eyes were
opened to our own interests.

A FEW REASONS WHY FARMERS
SHOULD SUBCRIBE FOR AND READ
THE PATRON"
! The Grange is the only efficient National or
ganization the farmers have ever had for uniting
together for protective operations in all business
and public affairs in which their interests are in
volved.
THE PATRON is the only weekly journal in the
Southwest devoted exclusively to the interests of
the Order;
1t is the only Grange paper in our section that
has received the endorsement of State, County,
and Subordinate Oranges, and ofleading members
of the Order;
1t is now the only strictly Grange paper in the
South adopted by State Grange its official
journal-the only one that the farmers may claim
as their representative Journal for it is under the
control of the Order, and knows no other interest,"
1t is the only Grange journal in the Southwest
that openly and earnestly advocates cooperation
by farmers in their business affairs, as recommen-
ded by the National Grange;
1t is the only Grange journal that advocates the
establishment by Oranges and farmers of "new
process cotton factories, by which the entire cot
on crop can be manufactured in the South and
sold by the farmers themselves IN yarns, cioth
and rope, instead of in the raw form: this is one
of the most important questions that can claim
the attention of the farmers of the Cotton States,
and it is fully discussed in its columns; : .-
1t is the only prominent paper in. the South
west that discusses the cotton seed question in the
interest of land owners;
1t is conducted with vigor, beautifully printed,
rejects all improper advertisements, and is the
cheapest weekly in the Southwest.
In word, THE PATRON is the best paper for
farmers and their families published in the South
west. 1t advocates and supports principles and
measures, in the success of which they are deeply
concerned.

FARMERS, DON'T SELL YOUR COT
TON SEED

We continue to urge the farmers of the Cotton
States not to sell their seed to the oil companies
at any price. 1t is the worst policy they pur-
sue. Every farmer should not only refuse to sell,
but he should buy the seed owned by his employees
and use every bushel for feed and fertizing pur-
poses. At $40 ton, it is the cheapest and best
fertilizer in the world.
The oil companies combine to put down and
keep down the price to SO and 81 per ton, which
is not onefourth of its real value. Farmers should
combine to prevent its sale to the oil companies
under any circumstances.
Farmers, don't sell your cotton seed
In this connection we reproduce the

{ IALUABLE WOOD LAND

" FOX SALE.
The tract contains 100 acres of unimproved,
well timbered land. The greater portion is a
sandy soil, admirably adapted to cotton, corn,
fruits and vegetables. 1t is defined hereabouts
sandy and hammock land, and lies close to the
growing city of West Point on the M. & O. r.

following.
VALUE OF COTTON SEED.

Capt. S. r. Sproles of this county, hav.
ing about forty acres of bottom ridge land,
all of substantially the same quality which
he desired put in corn, planted IL acres on
his own account, throwing a handful of
cotton seed near each stalk or hill of corn
The remainder Of the tract was planted by
tenants who used no cotton seed. All was
planted the same week, and received
about the same kind of cultivation. Now
for the result: The corn was gathered
week or two ago; that where the cotton
seed was used yielded IS bushels to the
acre; and that where none was used yield
ed only % bushels per. acre, showing
difference of I6 bushels to the acre in ia
vor of the cotton seed, amounting to Io2
bushels on the II acres, which, at so cents
bushel, the average price of corn in this
locality, would be worth 500
Capt. Sproles thinks that about two
tons of cotton seed were used on the II
acre tract. Now, suppose it took man
and team two days, at S. per day, making
So, to distribute it over the land, and we
still have a net gain of $oo-or SIS per ton
as the value of the cotton seed.
We know of no reason why this single
experiment should not be accepted as a
fair indication of the average value of
cotton seed as fertilizer but suppose it is
only worth one-half that much, does not
every person who suffers it taken off his
land at the ruling market prices grossly
misconceive his own interests?-2azoo

If Il man gets worn down with business and the good wife with housekeeping all you have to do for an agreeable and inexpen- siye change Is to take half hours ride to the high and healthy hills of Newtown engage quarters with Dick and get the best of care and attention and sit down ill the clcanest. prettiest dining room. par take of the most wholesome and best cooked food that can be found anywhere. The beauty of this thing for Bridgeport our city. A business man can leave his place uf business at 5 or 6 o'clock p. m. and with only one-half hours ride over the Housatonic you arrive in time for tea and drive before dark. Breakfast Is ready and Mike always gets you to the train that reaches here at z a m., so that n man can take his family into the country, be with them every night and attend 10 business just as though he was living but two blocks from his office, and the change Is just as good and advan- tageous as though he sent them two hundred miles away. I have often thought that many of our citizens did not realize what charming resort Newtown Is and how easy of access, although q great many have tried the pleasant home at Dicks and will appreciate what have written.

A Tail with am Appendix.

Last week Mrs. Charles Morehouse and on looking Into a measure fin which were some round clans, she noticed that one of them was resting against the side of the measure some distance from the rest of its companions. She stopped to see how the clam had gotten into that strange position and saw that there was tall to the wonderful mystery and that 1t belong ed to a rat who hung head down wards on the outside of the measure, waiting for something to turn up. Mrs. Morehouse thought she would capture the rat, and accordingly folded her apron around her hands to keep the rat from biting; but when ready and just in the act of carrying out her designs, the rat made sudden jump and dragged the clam out of the measure and ran among some boxes and barrels. Mrs. More house related the circumstance to MT. Morehouse. who immediately went in search of rat and clam. In removing the boxes and barrels the rat ard clam availed themselves of the wider field and both darted Into the cellar wall. and are now safe from further molestation from the outside world. The rat found the clam eniosing the quiet of the healthful cellar air and yawning, and Tn playful mood. like many roughes caught steal Ing. Inserted his tail into the cavity t. draw out the life's blood of the clam | when to the rats utter astonishment, the occupant of the house suddenly closed the door. and held him prisoner.
 We feel that our task has been finished so far as giving the facts are concerned but dare not close without here saying q word In reference to the great damage done to skieuce, and the loss which men of mathematical ideas have sustnined Supposing his ratship intended to rob the clam and fat himself upon the contents of the clam's dwelling. 1t would be inter ''-.'n1 to know how long It would take the rat To ~-4 the clam out of house and home by simply ins.--ino the poin, of his tail into the opening and withdraw. ing it, taking 1t to his mouth and licking of the juice--as do boys when stealing molasses from the bunghole of barrel We cannot pause for a reply, because the tail cannot be explained unless the ap. pendix can be made to harmonize with undeveloped science, SO we proceed to take up the other horn of the dilemma which is even more bafiing. We know that the clam followed up the bold at. tempt upon its domains, by closing ir with the thief and would-be murderer and judging from tho tenacity of is hold upon the rats tail, we ask how long il will take the clam to chew of the rats tail? These are questions which we feaI can never be answered. And we deeply regret that this golden opportunity o contributing to science a valuable fact was lost in the deep recesses of cellar wall.
