The Cotton Crop OF 1851.

For Patron of Husbandry:-Bro.
Changers, what are you a going to
do about plar ting another big cot
ton crop; are you again going to
put every DAYS labor in putting in
and making 1000, 900 bales and get
cents per pound for it. Do you
know that if last year we bad no dis
asters and had the fall been a good
one to pick the crop. that the re-
cipts would have been at least 500,-
600 bales in axcess OF 1879, and that
now middling cotton would have
been worth about 6 cents; and at
that price a farmer had about as
we'll quit farming aid go fishing
and better; a thousand times; make
meat and bread and then eat it.
There seems to be immEres~
sion with cotton planters that they
can plant nothing but cotton as
money crop, while they see corn
and meat sold at their doors that
was raised a thousand miles north.
Any man can take 4 Berkshire
s0ws and make more money from
raising meat than he can by rails
ing cotton. They should raise forty
pigs which if we'll attended to and
well fattened will bring 800 at
II months old and at same time
they can handle 100 ewes that will
pay 5000 more, and there is not in
tho South "a farm on which cotton
Is raised lhat is so poor but it will
produce enough corn and peas to
raise and fatten the hogs and sheep
that will bring the farmer four or
five times as much as be can nett
from Gotten raised by the Iabour
used on the farm, and another ad-
vantage is the farm will improve
1O3 per cent in value each year in
stead of wearing out.
suppose your Texas readers
will say that with them corn is
very cheap that they can't send it
to market. When this is the case
feed it to hogs, and beef cattle; and
ship the cattle up North for winter
beef. 1t will pay to purchase 3 or
4 year old steers and feed them
cheap corn, and ship for winter
market when meat is high.
| am satisfied that large planta-
tons on the Mississippi river can
be made to pay 800 per acre per
annum raising corn, which is more
than can be done raising cotton.
For instance, l acre of bottom
land will produce 40 bushels of
corn. worth now in New Orleans

per acre for use of mules tools and

And then all the land planted in
corn can be planted in peas and
will fatten enough hogs to pay the
hire Of hands to cultivate the crop.

Now, Bro. Grangers, can't all
this be raised at home and more
money made in producing them
than in raising cotton? Another
big crop of cotton and the planters
of the South are ruined.
Think OF this thing and ask your
selves if it will not pay to turn over

"ThR PnarOn.c

This journal has made many ear
nest friends and supporters through
out the Southwest among that class
of Patrons who joined the Order
from patriotic motives and who
have never permitted selfish inter-
ests to interfere with the support
of the cause. One of the most pa
triotic of these, and whose good
opinion we value beyond price, is
Worthy Master H. NJ. Daugherty,
of Caldwell county, Texas, an infu-
cntial leader of the Grange and
worthy of the high esteem in which
he is held by the farmers of his sec
ton. He has been an earnest and
~oTessful supporter of THE PA
IRON, having secured large num-
Der of subscribers for it in Caldwell,
Burnet and Guadalupe counties.
His letters to us always have the
ring of the true metal, and have en-
couraged us greatly in our arduous
work. We cannot refrain from
publishing herewith the following
extracts from a letter just received
from this noble Pa iron, though not
intended for publication:
cit ought to be apparent to all
thinking members Of the Order that
one strong, vigorous Grange paper
would do the Order more good than
a dozen weak, puny papers; and
again it is certain that the more
States that adopt the same paper,
and the more strength we can give
it, the better the members will be
posted as TO the prospects of the
Order throughout the Union. |

and handed them around among the

Grange "boom." We now have $40

patronage you have received from
this and adjoining counties, grow

Hold on to the Grange as the last
hope of the farmer for intelligence,
independence and happiness. If
the farmers of America wish to re-
lieve themselves, and their children
from serfdom, that doom must he
avertcd by united action. And as the
wealth of this country, as in the old
world, is rapidly sliding into few
hands, there as no time TO he lost.

Farmers submit to be robbed of

Farmers submit to be robbed of
hundreds of thousands of dollars by
railroads, LAWYERS, by Office holders,
by heavy taxation, by merchants,
by pedlers and by sharp schemers.
A thousand farmers are to-day out
of the Grange and out of the har-
ness of any good work. owing to
their unwillingness to give anything
or do anything. Money is power,
and it is always active, stealing our
rights and ourindependence. Work
while it is day,

The Grange is the only agency
which has ever promised us relief
1t is the only one which has ever
been felt and acknowledged by the
highest power in the nation. And
it is the only star now in the hori
zon to guide us to safety and sue

No danger of the Grange becom-
ing a political organization, when
its intelligent members begin to
look after their interests in public
affairs. When farmers unite to put
down the professional politicians
and put up men of principle, it is
not Grange affair, but move
ment wholly disconnected with the
Grange. When the cry is set up
that 1.-The Grange is going into poll
tics" because farmers begin TO or
ganize to have their rights respect
ed and their interests represented
in the legislative bodies of the coun-
try, it is altogether probable thai
some willy political lrikstcr is the
originator of it. The intelligent
Patrons have heard this charge so
long that they have learned TO treat
it with the contempt it deserves.

SMALL POX.
San Francisco Guarantees
Against Chicago.
And Chicago Says She VIII
Quara1 tine Against New
York.


Chicago, 5.-A dispatch frem st.
Louis says: F. ". Hatch, said to
be secretary of the California board
of health, writes to the st. Louis
health commissioner that that state
has guaranteed against Chicago,
and that trains on the Central Pa
ciic Railroad, have introduced small
pox in five counties along the line
in California, and in every case the
disease can be traced TO Chicago az
rivals. In st. Louis there is a great
deal of small pOx, twenty-six cases
being reported from quarantine.
In relation to this dispatch Chicago
authorities say they have no official
information of the fact, if it be a
fact, and are inclined to doubt it.
They say, however, that if SanFran-
cisco guarantees against Chicago,
than they will quarantine against
New York out of necessity, The
smallpox is indeed very prevalent
here and has broken out in many
frst-class localities of late. Two
thousand people were vaccinated at
the health office to-day and there
were forty-nine deaths from the
horrible disease last week. A small
pOX epidemic is feared and there is a
genuine scare.
