Bro. S. ]. Hodges, of Lincoln

efficient and successful efforts in
perfecting the arrangements for the
meeting Of the MISSISSIPPI State
Grange. Nothing essential to the
pleasure or convenience of the dele
gates escaped his attention, and the
result was all were delighted, and
the resolutions of thanks to the peo-
pie of Brookhaven were not mere
empty words. To Bro. ]. NJ. Graf
ton, of Brookhaven, also much praise

Properly understood and correc,1r

We are deeply impressed with the

alize the necessity of 4 more direct
communication between the pa.

throughout the land. In the ab.
sence of such communication, VT
would recommend to the Nationa

We would further recommen

Worthy Master: Your Committee on
Finance to whom was referred the report
OF the Secretary have made a careful ex-
animation of the same and find that the
State Grange is due the Secretaey SII5So
on back salary and nothing in the hands
of the Treasurer to liquidate the same.
Respectfully submitted,
E. II. ROBIN SON. Chairman.
Received and Committee discharged.
The Treasurer made a verbal report
The. Secretary, through the Worthy
Master rendered his resignation.
On motion his resignation was received
\ motion was offered that the office of
Secretary be made an Office of honor, and
-ot of profit.
Bro Gardner moved to amend bv pro-
ceeding to the election OF a Secretary
whose salary may be determined bv the
mittee, provided such salary shall not ex-
coed 500.
Motion as amended was adopted
Bros. Jackson and Thompson were ap-
pointed tellers. On counting the ballot

Johnson, of Choctaw county, was duly

Committee on Good of the Order per-
mittcd to submit their report as follows:
After closely canyassing our present
condition as a State Organization we beg
leave TO suggest that some means be
provided to settle our Indebtedness to the
National Grange. That the Worthy
Master Of the State Grange clearly define
the duties of County Deputies and urge
them to discharge the duties of the Office.
We would further suggest the State
Grange remit al dues to the first of Ian
uary, 1851, provided these dormant Gran
ges reorganize and promptly, beginning
with the FIRST quarter OF next year.

sheep Hanbandry VS.. Cotton
Culture

Mr.. Charles Gordon, of Ouachita
county, Arkansas, after an experiment
of more than three years at sheep rails
ing, has decided to go into it as a better
business than cotton. We make the fol-
lowing extract from Mr.. Gordon's letter
to the Rural World Three wears ago
concluded to go into sheep raising in con-
nection with the cotton raising and COM
pare the results. l began with ten com
mon ewes, picked up in the country, and
more. l then bought me thoroughbred
Merino ram and crossed him upon my
scrub ewes, till now have near one hun
dred grades and scrubs together From
my grades | get six pounds of wool per
annum, for which which I get thirty five
cents per pound. From my scrubs, the
mothers of the grades, | get one and a
half to three pounds of coarse wool, for
which | get sometimes twenty five cents,
oftener eighteen cents per pound. Now
this wool, averaging thirty cents a pound,
cost me next to nothing for | wintered
my sheep on cotton seed at ten cents
per bushel, giving each sheep about one
quart per day, in bad weather. When
the weather was fair they gathered their
own living in the pea fields. They more
than offset the cotton seed account with
manure. leaving the wool and good
lamb as clear profit. Now it costs mt
about eight and one half cents per pound
TO raise cotton. not taking bad weather
and other contingencies into account. The
cotton hauled twenty miles and sold fol
ten cents per pound-may be returning
nothing whatever to the land on which i
grew"
