The patron of husbandry. (Columbus, Miss.) 1875-1883, 1881-08-20

Railroad freights have come down
to even less than one-half what they
were last fall and through the win
ter when farmers were selling their
crops and the prices depended upon
the freight rate. Millions of bush
els of grain have been contracted
for lately in Chicago to the sea-
board at rate of II to Is cents per
100 lbs; the fall and winter rate was
20 cents, and kept so by the rail
road pool. There are at least three
very good reasons for this reduction;
one is that the lakes and canals are
now open and offer the very best of
competition; another is that rail
roads and grain spectators work
together, and it can easily be seen
that there are millions of profit in
buying wheat and corn on basis
of 90 cent rate and selling it at, or
shipping it at II or IS cent rate,
the difference in freight is a large
profit in itself. Then, again, it is
said that this large reduction is ar
ranged for and countenanced by
Vanderbilt, Jay Gould & Co., as the
surest means OF discouraging the
building of several competing lines
between the West and the seaboard
that have been projected, because
of the high rate and the immense
profits in railroads for several years
pa t. How plain it is that the COM
merce and industry of the country
are at the mercy of few railroad
Kings. If farmers could sell their
wheat and other grain based upon
the present rate of freight or toll to
the East, it would add just about
ten cents to the price received for
each bushel sold

Substitutes for Hay.

If farmer finds his crop of grass
and clover will be short, and he can
determine the TACT by this time, he
should take immediate steps to
make up the deficiency by raising
crops that will provide a substitute
tor it. The season is so far advanced
that he must as matter Of course,
sow crops that will mature very
quick y, or those that will furnish
good TODD before they have attained
full maturity. He must, besides,
put bis reliance on what arc know o
as shot weather" crops. 1t is not
quite too late to attempt to raise q
crop of grain to take the place of
grass or clover. He can plant corn
with view of cutting it for fodder
before the grain has formed, Or at
least before it has commenced to RI
pen. The seed may be sown broad
cast, put it with drill, or planted
in rows between which a cultivator
or pillow can be run for the purpose
Of Fastening the growth or keep
down the weeds. The crop can be
cut and cured by drying it in the
sun, and then stored in shocks or
under cover, or chopped fine and
placed in siIo. Corn fodder is dif-
cult to cure, as the stalks are large
and contains vast amount of mois-
ture. The covering of the stalk is
also very compact, which prevents
the rapid evaporation of the mois
ture they incIose. 1t is also difficult
to store, as it is very bulky and oc-
cupies much space when put i'm a
bui ding. 1t does not shed rain well,
and will become rank and moldy 10
stack that is not built with great
skill and care and covered with
straw, long hay or, some other ma

eastern paper that corn fodder be
cut in short pieces with a machine.
the same as it is when intended for
preservation in silo, and then dried
in the sun, the evaporation of mois-
ture being FASTENED by FREQUENT
stirring. He does not suggest the
means for stirring it, but he doubt
less expects to keep it under cover,
probably in the hay or NOW of
common barn. The great advan.
tage OF corn fodder over other arti-
cles of stock food consists chiefly in
the large amount that can be pro-
duced on small amount OF land.
not occupied by other crops is likely
to be scarce at this season ct the
year. Rye can be sown for similar
purposes, for cutting and curing
late in the season and for winter
pasturage. 1t is too late to plant
carrots or any variety of beets, but
when the soil and climate are ia
vorabie to the growth of fat or
Swedc turnips can be raised to most
excellent advantage.-Times.

Clay County.

Editor Patron: [ write you few
lines not that expect the editor
or his paper to be benefited thore-
by, but that the thousands Of read :
ers of THE PATRON may know that
there is such a place as Sloan, Clay
county, Miss, and that a farmers,
organization called a Grange,
''Siloam Grange, No. 49," and it's
membership is composed of both
men and women true to the cause.
We have been organized nearly
seven years; and if my memory
serves correctly we have not failed
more than once or twice during that
that time to hold our regular month
ly meetings. Our entire member
ship, since our or first organization,
numbers many who are not now
with us; some have died, some have
moved off, and some fell off of the
old stage when they thought she
had turned over, and some few have
cllmed on the stage again as soon
as they got the sand out Of their
eyes and they could see that it was
themselves and not the stage that
turned over.
No, our Grange is not dead at
present. We have a brave little
band of about SO mem bers who are
determined to stay ON the old vehi
Gle until il does turn over indeed
and in truth, which event we never
expect to see. We hope to see our
members increase and the work of
organization go on until all the
farmers and mechanics in the
United States are standing in line
of battle and Well equipped with that
knowledge essential to their preser
walton in the defence of their rights
as free American citizens, and &C.
mented together with brotherly
love.
We have been running cooper.
alive store now some three wears
and are we'll pleased with the re-
suits. We began business with but

FROM MISSISSIPPI.
NeShOba County.

Editor Patron: The Grange is al
"a low ebb here, in the southwest
portion of Neshoba. Our farmers or.
ganized a strong Grange here in
the early days of the Order, but lei
it die down it seemed before they
really understood the Fundamental
principles of the Grange.
So much for the influence of de-
signing parties, whose highes; am
bition is to keep the farmers disor-
gained But we think the signs oil
the times indicate a change, and
that our farmers will come to the
front we'll organized and will de-
mand their rights in such bold, un-
mistakable terms that old Neshoba
will yet become famous for her
splendid Grange work.
The effect OF the splendid efforts
of Worthy Master Darden in this
county will, we think, yet be mar
ifest, although partisan politics
seems to be absorbing the minds OF
our farmers Just now. One view
ing the true situation of affairs can
only exclaim, How long will our
farmers go so blir dly against their
interests? and how long will they
bow so humbly to the shrine OF
moneyed corporations?
Farmers, is it not time to stop
and reflect?
And while | would be far, very
far from throwing any reflections
on those grand old principles oil
Democracy, yet would it not be
we'll for us to solve intelligently the
following questions: Is the party
serving the people, or the people
owing the party? And if the party
is serving the people why these
grievances that we complain of
and if the people are serving the
party who is to blame? These are
questions of vital Importance to us
farmers. We complain of unjust
DETERMINATIONS of protective tariffs
ETC., and complaining is about al
we do. Have we not the means a
hand to remedy these evils? anc
can we not, as men, come to The
front and demand, yes, enforce our
rights? And while [ would not en-.
courage a spiri: of blgotrv, ye
why stand in the august presence
of those who presume to be our SUI
periors, and tremblingly complain

Carroll County.

Editor Patron: | have been think
ing for some time past that | would
ask for space in one of your issues,
so as to let our brethren know that
old Carroll is not dead to the inter-
est of our Order. Hardly a year
since our Worthy Master Darden
paid visit to our county and made
one Of his good Grange speeches at
Midway, which brought life into
some of the old members of that
Grange and caused them TO reor>
ganize.
They went 10 work, and others
came in from the dormant Oranges,
until, | am told, that Midway is
now the Banner Grange of the
State, numbering $50. OF course
we do not always have near that
number present at our semi month
ly meetings, but If you should hap
pen to be passing on our regular
days you would certainly see our
people are interested in something,
and 10 show you how some of them
feel about it l will just quote a re
mark of a brother few days since:
81 used to care nothing about going
to Midway until / joined the Grange
and since that tbinR two weeks a
long time to stay away"
l say that brother is imbued with
the proper spirit, and just here |
must tell you that we have two cid
persons, (brother and sister,, both
over IS years Of age who have join
ed this year, and when you see such
coming to our gates to be admitted
as our Worthy Master Stone re-
marked, "there is something more
in it than child's play" SO l can
say that our Grange is in healthy
condition.
Some time last fall after our
Grange reorganized the brethren
began to talk cooperation and to
devise plans to get money to start
store, but on account of so much
rain and low price of cotton we did
not get started until about 18th of
February, when we found that
we had in the hands of our Treas
urer, 81, 300. Our President took
it, went to New Orleans, laid it out
in groceries and such other things
as we knew we had to have, and
we, though with little timidity on
account of our small stock, began
our cooperative business at this
place. We were laughed at by the
merchants and some farmers, but
we paid as little attention to this as
we could and tried to attend to our
own business. The 1st of August
our books showed that we had sold
$11 900 worth of goods and our
stockholders seem TO be satisfied at
the result At our quarterly meets
ing in July we were able to declare
a dividend of s per cent. on our
whole sales. We are under no OBJ
legations TO Mr.. Commission
Merchant except Bro. Thos. j. Car
yer, and only to him, because he is
on our plank. We started out to sell
s25, 900 worth of goods within II

I was pleased with Bro. Person s
communication in your last week 5
issue on "Fces and Salaries, al
though | hold small office myself;
but just as he says, the less an off,
Ger of our Government has to do
the more money he gets. You may
commence at the President and fol-
low on down to Magistrate, while
IN our community you can hardly
get a man to take the latter, on ac-
count of so much to do and no pay
in the office. And while on this
subject | would say that | hope our
laws will be changed in this re-
spect. Our State might save $50,
600 annually by doing away with the
Chancery Court, or the office OF
Chancellor, and attach it to the
Circuit Court, as it was before the
war, and let the Clerks OF the conn
ties be the Clerk and Master OF the
Probate Court, and take the fees of
the Office for his salary. While we
have as good a Chancellor as there
is in Mississippi l do not think the
work he does, or has to do, demands
the pay he gets. and [ do not think
our people would be in any worse
condition if the office and Court
were abolished The farmers must
look to these charges or they never
