Our New Printing Press.

Our readers doubtless feel an in
terest in all that tends to promote
the efficiency of THE PATRON as an
advocate of their grand organiza-
ton, and we feel sure they would be
glad to see full description of our
office in which the paper is printed.
We will merely remark now that
with the addition of a steam engine
and folding machine, our estab-
iishment would be one of the most
complete in the State, and with our
splendid New Campbell Printing
Press, correct representation OF
which we give above, we would be
prepared to meet the demands of a
circulation of 10000 copies. Our
press is a decided improvement on
the cylinder presses generally in use,
and it is destined to take the lead of
all cylinder presses now manufac-
tured.
Will not the friends of THE PA
IRON cooperate with us in making
it great power, that the effects OF
its advocacy and support of Grange
principles, measures and representa-,
tive men may be seen and felt IN
every Grange and neighborhood in
the South? Let every one at once
secure one or more additional sub
scribers, and it will be the leading

Experimental Farming.

1t was a delightful May morning
of this 1850 that the writer accom-
panied Prof. ]. M. McBryde, OF
the Tennessee Agricultural College,
to the College Farm, where he has
by patience and perseverance given
a variety of practical tests to the
growth of the cereals greatly to his
credit, and, we trust, beneficial to
the farmers of the country general
ly. Carefully measured are one
hundred and thirteen experimental
plots in wheat of ITO of an acre
each. They test twenty-six varie-
ties; different times of sowing, diff
ferent rates, different modes, differ
ent chemical, commercial and home
made manures. There are about
thirty three acres in wheat, and al
though the choice lots containing
about three acres of Boughton are
badly rusted, it is fair TO estimate
the entire crop at an average of
twenty five bushels per acre. He
has made ten field experiments with
fertilizers. A healthier crop of
growing oats | never saw. They
were drilled, we'll fortified, the soil
we'll titled, and more perfect
growth could hardly be imagined.
Ae showed me sixteen plots of corn,
containing the same accurate meas
urement of ITO of an acre each, the
product of which he intends to en-
silage. In this he is testing the val
ue of fertilizers and manures, diff
ferent modes of applying them, al
so the sowing, planting, u feet, 2
feet and 3 feet. His tests in the
matter of ensilage are of special
importance. He will develop, no
doubt, important information con-
corning the new forage crop DeS-
modnain Mole, ZIch-trefoik 1t be-
longs to same family as clover peas,
etc.
I was much interested in the tests
he has been making in the proper
food for cattle The proportion of
grain and hay shows that it is equal
ly injurious to make the grain por
ton high-straw, even, is found to
excel hay under certain circumstan-
ces. AS we are promised, however,
carefully prepared statement of
these experiments by the Prafessor,
| omit comment for present.
1t is an experimental farm truly,
and quite comprehensive. The
Professor has planted about hun
dred varieties of apples, peaches,
pears, etc. He has established a
nursery of 5000 evergreens and
deciduous trees His clover crop
of several acres is luxuriant, and at.
tests the adaptability of that section
to its growth.
Although not large number of
cattle have been procured, he prides
himself on the purity of his Dew
ons and Short-horns. He is feed
ing sixteen head. Tests are being
made with eight grass plats, top
dressing with different fertilizers as
yet shows no difference.
While all these various matters
are being carefully tested, Prof. Nc
Bryde attaches most importance to
wheat. There is a striking differ
ence in plats. The Boughton was
most promising of large WELD pri-

Editor Patron. AS you have

been fully decided to have our

it will be delightful, and prove
lasting benefit to US tired mothers.
provided we do not break ourselves
down preparing to go. This is just
what [ sat down to write about.
Let US leave the tucks and puffs and
ruff1es at home, rather than use all
our strength ironing them; and if
we have not the requisite number

it? We are farmers 7Vi0es and let
us have farmers independence. /,

Madame Demorest, Cooley or any
OF the devotees to fashion; and if
we should, no doubt they would go
back home, and initiate some pretty
simple dress and call it the ''Gran-
ger polonaise. %
Let US go to the camp meeting as
free from care as possible, take all
the children with us, and thereby
educate them to be Patrons. There
is to be one browning feature in the
camp. meeting. It is always expec-
ted of the men that they will cook
in camp; in fact, they say that it is
| ''ruleable," and we will make it
''ruleable' for the men to help
take care of the children too; in
other words we will fly off at
tangent and leave the old circle of
home monotony, and change places
with the men; perhaps we will con-
descend to set the table, or mayhap
to wash the dishes if they look very
tired. We will fix nice swinging
hammock for the baby, and our
dear husband can sway it gently in
the cool breeze and hum a sweet
lullaby, while we proceed to the
arbor free from care, and enjoy an
excellent speech from some gifted
orator, which will sustain US and
feed our minds through weary days
that are to follow when we are back
home in our old places again Lay
ing aside all testing, let us go to the
Grange camp-meeting as free from
care as possible; let us turn our
selves loose in the woods for few

Origin OF Cyclones.

For the purpose OF discovering the
causes which determine the progressive
movement of storms, / have made an
extensive examination of the course and
velocity of storm centers in tropical re-
gions, and also of abnormal paths in the
middle ATTITUDES of Eourope and Ameri-
ca. / have examined the course of all
those hurricanes which have originated
near the West India Islands, and whose
paths have been carefully investigated,
and also all the storm tracks delineated
on the maps of the monthly weather re-
view. / have likewise examined all
those hurricanes in Southern Asia and
its vicinity whose paths have beef best
determined, and all the storm tracks de-
lineated on the maps of the international
series of observations. The following
summary presents some of the results
derived from this investigation: Q) The
lowest latitude in which cyclone center
has been formed near the West India
Islands is ten degrees, and the lowest lat
itude i'll the neighborhood of Southern
Asia is six degrees. Violent squalls and
fresh gales of wind have, however, been
encountered directly under the equator.
CD The ordinary course of tropical hur-
ricanes is toward the northwestward. In
few cases they seem to have advanced
toward point little south of west, and
in a few cases their course has been al
most exactly toward the north. 60
Tropical hurricanes are invariably ac-
companied by violent fall of rain. The
rainfall is never less than five inches in
twenty-four hours for portion of the
aply Aa.S
inches in twenty-fourhours. (4) Tropical
storms are generally preceded by a
northerly wind, and after the passage Of
the low center the wind generally veers
to the southeast at stations near the
center, and the southerly wind which
follows the low center, is generally
stronger than the northerly wind which
preceded it.
This fact appears to suggest the ex-
PLANTATION of the origin of the cyclone
and the direction of its progressive move
ment. The prevalent direction of the
wind in the neighborhood of the West
India Islands is from the northeast.
Occasionally strong wind sets in from
a southerly quarter. The interference
of these winds with each other gives
rise to a gyration and fall of rain
sometimes results. When the rain COM
mences the latent heat which is lib
Grated causes an inflow of wind from all
quarters, by which the rainfall is in
creased; and since the wind is DETECTED
by the rotation of the earth an arch of
low pressure is produced and the force
of the winds will be maintained as long
as the rainfall continues The effect OF
this strong wind from the south is to
transport the low center in northerly
direction, and by the combined action OF
the south wind and the normal from the
northeast the center of low pressure is
usually carried in direction between
the north and west.-Prof. Elias
LOOnliS.
