The patron of husbandry. (Columbus, Miss.) 1875-1883, 1881-09-03

A disoatch frCm Council Bluffs
SAYS: Eastern Nebraska and wes-
tern Iowa are suffering great losses

thousands of head have died within
the last few days. The veterinary
surgeon employed by the Union
Stock Yard Company, of that city,
nrooounces the disease anthoraE
lever. or infam matiOn OF the stom-
ach and bowels. The symptoms are
contractions OF the muscles and a
shaking of the whole body as if with
| a chill. The cause is not known,
| out the disease is becoming fright
fuilv prevalent, and ow ners Of large
herds in western Iowa and eastern
! Nebraska are becoming very much
alarmed. Great precaution is 10 be
exercised hereafter in keeping stock
from interming!ing. Healthy cat~
tie coming in contact with those
diseased seem to take the diease at
once Thus far all medical aid has
failed. The mortality among mitch
COWS has been alarming, and II is
desirable shat the widest possible
publicity be given to the prevailing
| endemic, in order that owners oi
stock may provide against IT as
much as possible. Ii may only

Of course, pretends to say. The We.

be exercised in keeping stock sepa-
rated as much as possible, and that
carcasses should be buried immedi-

Worthy Master Darden is push
ing his canvass with great effect in
North Mississippi. Wherever he
goes the farmers turn out in large
numbers and give him respectful
hearing, and he never fails to CON
ince them that they can never en-
force their right 70 perfect equality
with other classes and protect their
interests until they unite in the
Grange, His success in arousing and
organizing them is simply wonder
ful. He seldom fails to rorganize
one or more Oranges in county as
he passes through. and to infuse into
the active Oranges new life and an
enthusiasm that are giving the cause
tremendous boom. His arguments IS
and appeals may carr~ alarm to cor
mDt politicians and other enemies
OF the Grange, but they please the
farmers, and will result in great
good to all who gain their living by
I7e sweat Of their brow and whose
interests are to be promoted by j

opment of Texas. It shows that
1874 miles of railroad have been
completed within year; that with
IN two wears Al additional towns of
commercial importance have been
cached by rail, or have sprung
into existence, and the value of the
STATES products has increased from
S57,82o,I4I in 1873 70 to sos 900,
go in 1S8c-SI. The cotton Of the
State-its chief reached the
magnificent total in the year 1880 81
Of r,26o,247 bales.
The following is the EXHIBIT based
on the exact figures and calculations
of the amount and of the States
staples for 1880 and 1881: Cotton
I,26o,247 bales, value $56,7II,2I2;
wool 2o.o7I,S4o pounds, valued at

material interest and progress viii
take their places. in the considPra-
ton Of which the bitterness of party
politics, and the rivslries and jeal-

become merged IN a more fraternal
rivalry to advance the public good
In this connection it may not be
improper to refer brify to the ones
ton Of representation for cur great
productive interest in the law-ma-
king bodies of the country. When
we take into consideration the ex
tent Of the agricultural interest and
the important relation 1t bears to
the life and the happiness of our
whole people it is matter of sur
prise that those who pursue it
should have given so little apparent
thought to this question, and that
they have, to SO great an extent,
al owed those not identified with
them IL interest to represent them
in these bodies That agriculture
should have 8 position, and a rep
resc0tatIve commensurate with its
Importance, no one will deny; and
that it behooves the farmers whose
mum bers give them the power 10
secure both r% the STATE and Ma
tional Governments representatives
Of their own class is equally clear
Other gceat interests are fully alive

Now, brethren, if we have failed
20 make the Order in our State all
that it should have been, let rs re
memb Der that the fault is not due to
the unsoundncss Of its principles or
to the imperfeolior of its methods,
but rather to imperfect organization
and the want of proper training for
Grange work. Let US endeavor by
appropriate leg station now, and
earn est effort in the future, to make
amends for the errors OF the past,
ever keeping ir view, the b0lntlful
harvest we shall ona day surely
reap iffaithfui to our Grange duties.

Cotton is falling in price and pro

Cotton is falling in price and pro-
visions going up. The only way
for the farmers to save themselves
is TO buy and sell on the co-opera-
tive plan. BY sending their cotton
to T. J. Carver, of the Southwestern
Cooperative Association at New
Orleans and purchasing their sup
plies through the Association at
New Orleans and ST. Louis, they
can save enough to more than n'ake
up for the decrease in the price Of
cotton and the increase in that Of
provisions. Many members of the
Order in this section will now try
this plan.
