The following address to the plantetaand farmers of the South, prep-Aby the Southern members of the +National Grange, and ap proved by that body, has already been widely published, but as many ofoi eRaders probably have not seen it; we deem it best to put it on record here : The undersigned representatives of the Cotton States in the Nation al Grange, beg leave to present to tlie Patrons of Husbandry in the cotton gr-wing . section - of the Un6on, the- followiug suggestions, which they believe to be justified by the present'condition of the South: During the past seven years our cotton fields have added to the wealth of the world $2,000,000, 000; and caused prosperity to smile upon every one who has handled our crop, save those who-struggled for its,production. Annually thelenergies of the cot ton planter have been exhausted in attempting to produce a maxi mum crop of a single staple, while quite as frequently he has reduced his means in supplying his neces sary wants. A system based up ori auch a policy and producing such re'siUs must be.radically wrong, and if persisted in will lead to bankruptcy and ruin. We pro pose to inquire~into the cause of this ruin, and, if possible, present a method of removing it. Has it been that the supply of cotton haf exceeded the demand ? Statis tics do not show this fact. Is it that our labor has been unreliable and expensive ? The same labor invest ment has nowhere yielded:a greater market j value of products. Has providence inflicted upon us-agricul tural disaster ? lie has often in terposed for our benefit. What, then, has averted our anticipated prosperity ? Are not we responsi ble for our direful condition in that we have neglected too much the groWth of breadstuffs and substitu ted therefoi- almost exhaustively the cultivation of cotton ?. No people can ever be prosper ous who are not self-sustaining. Our fertile soil, exhaustless mhin eralwealth, abundant water paw er' and genial salubrious climate avail us nothing if annually we ex-! pend millions for subsistence. It is generally conceded that home grown bread is cheaper than pur chased supplies, and the observa tion of every planter is that those Southern farmers who live within themselves are more independent and less encumbered with debt than those who have relied solely upon the cotton crop. Were it other wise, it is hazardous fcr any people to rely upon others for a supply of those articles which are necessary for their daily consumption. The horrors of famine which have more: than once cursed the people of In dia, in their efforts to grow cotton to the exclusion of breadstuffs would have been repeated in our midst but that we were able to supply our necessities from the teeming granareis of the Northwest. We shrink from the contemnpltion of what would bebur condition should disaster deprive of us that resource. During .the past year certain portions of Iowa, Minnesota and Dakota have been invaded by the grasshopper, which-has swept their fields like a fire and destroyed every vestige of vegetation. Imagine your condition should a similar invasion become general in the Northwest. Gouplc with this idea, the total failure of a cotton crop, either from the worm, from drought, or any other unavoidable cause. Improbable as such visita ui.:, may appear, we have not the power to prevent them, and is it w~ise to sub)ject ourselves to the posibility of becomin<g the victis m ly to practice this policy for the year 1875, and harvest time will proclaim redemptiou to the South and a return to wonted prosperity. As our constitution expresses it, the prosperity of a nation is in pro portion to the value of its produc-, tions. Then how magnificently prosperous should be the cotton States of this Union ? . Annually 4,000,000 of bales of cotton are produced upon Southern soils. But what proportion of this vast amount is retained to indicate our prosperi ty? One-half of it is expended for necessary supplies, while the remainder is divided between labor and taxes. Hence the cost of pro duction has exceeded the vaiue of the article produced. Shall this policy continue? Extensive cotton crops have evinced our unity of purpose and entailcd poverty upon us. An equally uniform adhesion to mixed husbandry would secure our re cuperation. Patrons of the South, do you appreciate your privileges ? Reflect upon your opportunity to exact tribute of the world. Cotton is a necessity, and the extent of that necessity can be calculated with exactness. It is equally well known what proportion of that necessity must be supplied by the cotton States of America. If ,500,000 bales are grown, they will be consumed before another crop can be gathered, and a re munerative market price will be sustained -by the consequent de mand. If 4,500,000 bales are grown, the large marginal excess will control and depress the mar ket. Is it not within the power of our organization to control this feature of our condition ? Alter natives for success are numerous, but we need rely only upon the sin gle one of co-operating in the de termination to subsist at home. With this end attained, there is no reason why we should not be the happiest, most independent and prosperous people on earth. D. Wyatt Aiken, S. C., Member Ex-Com. National Grange. W.T HI.

Large dealers in but ter, who make it a study, say that the crop of 1874 was not less than one billion five hundred miillior's pounds in the United States, and if three pounds of good butter fetch a dollar, then this agricultural staple was worth to the country five hundred millions dol In the neighborhood where the wri ter practiced medicine fifty years ago, the milk of two thousand five hun dred cows is made into butter and cheese in one factory. Should the time ever come when the landholders of the planting States think seriously of butter making to supply in part the growing markets of the world, let me say to them that in a million pounds of pure butter there is not an ounce of assimilated nitrogen, phos phates or potash exported in the sta pe sent abroad. Bermuda and blue grass pastures will grow from one de cade to another for centuries, as well ia the dam p atmosphere, so favorable to sea island cotton, as in EDgland. Nowhere on this planet can air and water be transformed into grass, and grass into wool, cheaper than in South Carolina. DR. DANIEL LEE, in Rural Qarolinian for .May. U S E F U L INFORMATION.-O n e thousand laths will cover seventy yards of surface, and eleven pounds of nails will put them on. A cord of stone, three bushels of lime, and a cubic yard of sand willlay one hundred cubic feet of wall. Eight bushels of good lime, sixteen bushels of sand, and one bushel of hair, will make enough good mortar to plaster one hundred square yards. One thousand shingles, laid four inches to the weather, will cover - one hundred square feet of surface, and fi pound of single nails will fasten AisalUane"S. SoRty HE WASN'T THERE.-I have referred in my book to that coroner of ours who seized an Egy p tian mummy that was brought in to town, summoned a jury, held an inquest on the mummy, brought in a verdict of "Death from causes unknown," and charged the coun ty with the usual fee, with com pound interest from the time of Moses. Well that coroner is still in office and is still enthusiastic about his profession. Last Sunday night he was at church. The minister preached a very solemn sermon upon Noah's flood, and af ter it was over 1 met the coroner in the aisle and said to him: "Very impressive discourse, Mr. Wheeler, wasn't it ?" "Beautiful, sir! beautiful," repli ed Wheeler. "And yet it seemed to be kinder mournful too." "Indeed! why it didn't strike m in that way. It was solemn, of course; but its tendency certainly should be to fill the heart of every truly good man with cheerfulness and hope." "Oh, I know all that," said Wheel er,"but didn't he say there were several million people drowned in that flood?" "I believe he did." "Well, then, I say that when I think of all that mortality, and re member that I wasn't a coroner then, and ain't likely to be when there's another such a freshet, it makes me sick. There ain't any thing cheerful about such reflec tions. I feel's if I hadn't been treat ed right; 's if I'd been robbed.' [Max Adeler. BLESSINGS ON THE Boys.-Bless ings on the boys. Not the young, healthy, rosy-cheeked male sav ages of thirteen or sixteen years. They cannot help being boys, and deserves no special credit or con demnation for it. But blessings on those hale old boys of forty or forty-five or even sixty, who bend their broad shoulders to the bur dens of life, but who do not let those burdens crush their hearts; whose eyes are quick to catch the light of merriment over a droll story; anil quicker to fill with tears of sympathy for a friend's distress; who retains a boyish love and reverence for all that is womanly; whose boyish confidence in human ity, as a whole, though often shock ed never dies, who watch eagerly for the bright spots of sunshine on life's carpet, and seat them selves where it falls brightest and warmest. They rarely grow very rich. for their boyish generosity is too careless for that ; they may not command the awe of admiring crowds; they are not always sys tematic enough to be safely trust ed with importat offices ; but the nimble feet of childhood springs to them, manhood trustingly ex tends to them a wide open hand, women greet them with a confid ing smile, and all through life they live and receive great treasures o; pure love. God himself is very tender to these boys. A HEROINE BY MISTAKE.-The Lexington (Ky.) Gazette heartless y spoils a thrilling story which recently came from that city. It says: One dark night'not long ago, a burglar entered a private resi dence on Broadway. On ascendin~ one flight of stairs he observed a light in a chamber, and while deli. berating what to do, a large wo man suddenly descended upon him, seized him by the throat, pushed him down through the hall and forced him into the street be fore he had time to think. 'Heroic Repulse of a Burglar by a woman was the way the story was told the next day. But when friends called and congratdlated her upon her courage, she exclaimed, 'Good gracious, I didn't knowv it was a burglar. If I had I should 'have been frightened to death. I thought it was was my husband come home drunk, and I was determined he shouldn't stay in the house in thai conditior'.'. A Scotch commoner once asked Sheridan how he got rid of hii Irish brogue, as he wished to avoid his own Scotch accent. "My deal fellow," said Sheridan, "don't at tempt any s u c h thing. ThE House listens to you now because they don't understand you ; but i: you become intelligible they wil be able to take your measure !" A polished stone tomahawk was recently found by a Canadian wood cutter buried in the wood of an oak tree. it is supposed t( have been accidently left sticking in a sapling about 120 years ago, the wood closing in around it in the course of time.
