SHEEP HUSRANDRY

Sheep husbandry possesses more inter,

engaged in it than does any other branch
of live stock culture. This for the reason
that the question Of both food and raj

masters of the future are to be those who
appreciate these facts, and adjust their
business, accordingly. The maximum
amount of meat and fiber will be secured
for the outlay of labor and provender by
bestowing these only upon animals best
adapted to bring the highest returns

GRANGE
SHELBY

The next regular meeting of this Grange
will be at County Court Rooms, Mem.
phis, on the Isth of January, 1880, at 10
O'clock, A NJ. We earnestly request each
Grange to be fully represented, as an cleo
ton of officers for the ensuing year will be
held at this meeting, and also the election
of a representative in the State Grange
ANY Oranges which have not elected per-
ynanent delegates to the County Grange
should do so at their December meetings
All delegates should bring certificates of
election, especially as the representative
to the State Grange will be elected by the
County Grange, and not by acting Mas
sers as heretofore. Masters and Past Mas
tiers are eligible to the position OF repre-
sentative, and the wife of the representa-
tive elect will also be representative, if
a Matron.
Our last session of the State Grange
provided that any fourth degree member
of the Order could represent a county in
the State Grange, but this Is evidently in
conflict with the constitution Of the Ma
aonaI Grange, Art. l. Sec. I. leap, St

SULPHUR FOR SHEEP-An exchange
SAYS: mix a little sulphur with salt, and
feed occasionally to sheep. It will effec-
tuaily cure sheep of all ticks. The same
remedy applied to cattle troubled with lice
will soon rid them of the vermin The use
of sulphur with salt well repays the trou-
BILE of keeping a supply for cattle and
sheep. If mixture of one part of sui
phur with seven of salt be freely supplied,
there will be no trouble with vermin.
You can give horses the mixture with
good effect

TWENTY MILLIONS! VIVA
WILL WE DO WITH IT?
WHAT

It is very difficult to arrive at correct
estimate Of the amount and value OF the
cotton crops of Alabama and Mississippi
The receipts being counted at the ports,
they afford no index to the production OF
the several States.
We know, however, that the acreage of
cotton in Alabama for the present season
is 500 $50, and that the entire acreage is
II 16o2II Iti fair to assume, therefore,
that Alabama produces fifteen per cent.
of all the cotton crop, or about 10000
bales. The recent rise in cotton is about
twelve dollars bale. The cotton planters
of Alabama are, therefore, nine. millions
of dollars better off than they expected
to be.
The planters of Mississippi have like
wise made not less than eleven millions by
the rise. These TIVE States together are
drawing from the Golfers of the world
| twenty millions of dollars more than they
calculated upon.
Now, as Mobile is the port for the plan
tiers who have realized at least half of this
| princely sum, we naturally feel deep in
terest in knowing what they intend to do
with it.
Without desiring to be thought officious
we would suggest very easy simple
plan by which the twenty millions could
be made to start Alabama and Mississip-
pi upon new career of prosperity.
Under the new process by which cot
ton warns are spun directly from the seed
cotton, a process which has been marked
with wonderful and indisputable success
at Westminster and other points in South
Carolina, a mill capable of spinning daily
five thousand pounds of seed cotton can
be erected and put in operation at cost
of only S. 5000. The profit of spinning
by actual experince of the mills now in
operation employing the Clement Attach
ment, is at the least one cent per pound
of seed cotton. This would give to mill
which spins 5000 pounds of seed cotton
profit of $50 per day or SIS 900 per an
mum. This appears to be an immense profit
but the fact that such is the result is sub
stantiated by so many witnesses that we
have little room to doubtit. If, however
the profit should be one-fourth of what
we have stated, it would be splendid re-
turn upon the investment.
If the money now being realized at the
South should be expended in the erection
of these cheap cotton mills in every neigh
, borhood, we would find that the manufac.
ture of cotton yarns would add immense
ly TO the occupation and wealth OF these
States, and that the shipment of these
yarns would bring back to us just twice
the money now received for the raw ma
terial. The two million of bales of Ala
bama and Mississippi Ito speak in roune
numbers) spun into yarn, would rise il
value from one hundred millions to TIVE
" hundred millions of dollars Now is tn,
time to resolve to make investments il
cotton factories. We have the money, AM
we should hold on to it.-1No6iIe Register

The progress of the Grange is in the
hands of the Patrons who now enjoy and
understand its benefcent features and ed
ucational advantages. Their earnest aid
is the potent lever of future success. To
be candid, there is not one earnest Patron
who cannot at least add one more to the
Order, or who cannot give substantial ma
terial aid and increase the interest bv
working for the circulation of GRANGE
papers. Our own apathy and indifference
are our deadliest foes. If We can over.
come these, we need not fear honest op-
position.
