The "Pea as a Fertilizer" was as . signed me as a subject fqr an essay to be read befqro the Pomona Grange at its July meeting, by our worthy lec turer : I have.;bcen largely indebted for much valuable information on this important subject to a "Report oi' the Committee of the Agricultural Socie ty on. Coast Lands." Also to the successful experiments of our worthy Brother, Dr. Wl P. Barton, together with such facts as have come under my own observation. The great object to be attained by the cultivation of the soil is the pro duction of the largest crops with the least labor and expense. In the cut . tivation and production of no single article of agriculture have such rapid strides been made in any country in the last decade, as that of oats in these Southern States; indeed in some .sections: cvem of our State it has entirely suppluntbd corn as-a feed for work animals, and die day is now Upon us when it is cheaper and more profitable on our light lauds to raise oats in sufficient quantities to feed work stock the year round, ,tkan<to . raise corn for that pdrpose; To thpse who have been planting this crop for the past two years this as sertion neqds , no ,tjetaijed . illustra tions, or explanations to prove the tToots.-/ ? -Xhoy are ?. satisfied ,qu. ? this - point.' ??'.\-' ? ? ? ? ? 'f;? ?.fj?tfrl 'J?,b\Jt ofihntnat iusfpor.tanoo 1 Iben arises; as the oat is a grass leeder, and a great exhauster of the soil, how-are we to raise tins crop and keep up the fertility of. our lands? In the pea as a fertilizer we have the answer to this question* ? Recent experiments at the A tlantic and Stono Phosphate Works, as well j ns in our own county by Dr. Barton and others, prove that not only- can the present fertility of our lands be maintained and grow annual crops of fcmall grain on them, but their pro ductive capacity can be Wonderfully increased by a judicious system of manuring with the pea. What think you qi an old field, thoroughly ex hausted, and growing nothing but broomsedge, by this sytem of fertili zation being made to yield fifty-one bushels of oats, to the acre? This . was not done by poas alone, it is not to be supposed that lands so poor as !this could of itself produco peavincs sufficient to make such acrop of oats, but by the aid ami assistance of what is known ns the ash clement applied to the land in the spring at the time of planting the peas,'and in the fall when the onts are planted, turning in the vines with a two-horse plow. This ash element is composed of ground phosphate rock, Kainer, or German potash salt, sulphate of lime, and perhaps some other- Ingredient. I am inclined to believe it owes its principal virtue to the potash Salt, as I know. from experience it is an ex cellent fertilizer for the pen. Also instance the vigorous growth of pea vincs where a trash or log hoap has been burned, showing the value of potash as a manuro for tho pea. The plan recommended by this committee .is.as follows: In the spring sow down 500 pounds of ash clement and two bushels of peas to the acre, when the peas dio down, or in the fall when you nro ready to put in your oats, sow down on tho vines and turn all in together, or turn in the vines and harrow the oats in after "wards with a heavy harrow; The following spring or summer when the oats are harvested, the land is pro pared for replanting in the autumn by repeating the experiment with the peas and ash element. \Ve have one account of 45 bushels of Indian corn, of 50 bushels of oats from land pre viously bo poor that without manure it would not make above live bushels of corn and eight of oats, of wheat grown at'tho rate of -10 bushels per aore and of 900 pounds of hay pro duced by the pea and ash clement. We cannot doubt these statcmouts; I however wonderful they may appear, for they arc born out by similar ex periments nearer home anil by parties we all know. The following is from Dr. W. F. Barton : "On the first of j July, 1877, I took a piece of land,] live acres, which had been planted in oats the Two"pTevious years without manure, yielding from 1G to 18 bush els per acre. On part of thu five acres I sowed broad cast 600 pounds of ash element per acre, and on the whole five acres two bushels of cow peas per acre turning all under with a Watt's turning plough. The result was a luxuriant growth of vinos, the more, especially rjvhcrej the hsh cle ment had been sown, no fruit was manured by the pea. On.the first of October I sowed broad cast two bush els of the red rust proof oats per acte, turning pea and oats under with a two horse Watt's plough and smoothing oil' with a heavy drag. From an aero nia*n?red with the ash clement and cow pea, thrashed and cleaned,by weight yielded 54 bushels, 3 pecks and 7 quarts ; from an acre manured with peas ahme, yielded SO bushels, 3 pecks and 0 quarts, a dif ference in favor of the ash element of 2-1 bushels and 1 .quart, and a ditlcr er.ee of about 30 bushels between tic natural land without any manure and that manured with the ash cle ment and pea. The land experiment ed on was about equal in pioductive r:cs8.,,frv\| { * f. & \ . i ?. l St. In the above experiment you have the whole* subject; in a nutshell. You sec that the cow pea alone nearly doubled the yield over the natural land, and with the addition of the Ash element the yield was three times as great, and al a cost of not more than 7 or 8 dollars per acre. The fjllowjug experiments were made at the Atlantic, and Slouo Phosphate Conipanics farms near Charleston: rtiri the month of June, ordinary sandy land, which had been supplied With llie requisite quantity of upncral mnttcr, wpxj ooon broatl oact "tVilU, cow peas. When the pens were near ly ripe a measured quantity of the. land was mown and the vines dried. The dried vines were at the rate of ?1,000 lbs. to the acre, and were proved by analysis to coo lain nitro genous matter capable of producing 2 1-2 per cent, of .ammonia, and 10 per cent of rnineral matter or ashes. To determine whether it were neces sary to turn in green vines, (always a difiicult and troublesome operation,) jotr.c of the dried vines were washed on a filter with water, the water test ed and found to contain" all the valu able constituents of the vine; shoe ing that no loss of fertilizing material had been occasioned hy the plant drying on the surface of the land, and proving the turning in, which has greatly ' prevented the general adoption of this mode of fertilizing, to be unnecessary. Therefore, upon the remainder of the land the vines were allowed to die upon the surface, and in November oats and wheat were planted upon it. Both grew vigorously and produced more than double the crops ordinarily obtained in this part of the country." In the above you sec the analysis of the pea vine 2 1-2 per cent of am monia and 10 per cent, of mineral matter or ashes; t'ic want or absence of this mineral matter in the soil ac counts for so much of our poor lands failing to.grow peas;, we have | roof of this in our own experience. You are all aware that peas will not grow among corn manured year after jcar with cotton seed ; now it is not Ironi any injurious property or principle of the cotton seed, but because it fails to supply the necessary mineral mat ter, chiefly potash ; supply this defi cient mineral clement by the applica tion of this ash element or any of the Charleston Phosphates, or by the German potash alone, or ashes, and \vc have a healthy luxuriant growth of vines, and an abundant cop of peas. The pea is also an excellent fertili zer for corn, and yet wo act in total disregard of this knowledge, liow common the practice among farmers of pulling up :he vines to gather the peas. You iill'knotf What fine corn grog's about these heaps where the peas were threshed. Thia:of itself is sufficient evidence of their value as a fertilizer; instead of this ruinous practice, they should be left on the J lind to bo turned in tho.next spring. The best fruited cotton 1 bad last year was on nfpieco of land I had corn and peas on the year before. The vines i were left to rot on the' land and not turned in until spring. In 1873 I up plied 20 bushels of cotton seed to the aero for oats ; made 37 bushels of. oats per acre. (Tho land was very poor.) As soon ns the oats were gathered, I sowed down about 2 bush Is of peas, hac] a rank growth of vines; tho second week in October sowed down about 1 1-2 bushels of ? red rust proof oals to tho acre, and turned all in with a two-horse plow. I1 did not measure this oats when gathered hut was satisfied tho yield was greater that the preceding year. The oats did not fire at all, and kept green near the ground until the heads commenced ripening. In every sub sequent crop you can tell to the row ns far as tlic peas were turned in, the land producing better corn, better peas and a heavier coat of grass. In the fall of 1875, I wanted to plant oats on some land I had in com, as there was some rice in the field unripe I could not turn my stock on the land to cat off the peas, so I cut down the corn stalks and chopped i them into two or three pioces, sowed my oats and with my two-horse plows turned in corn stalks, pea vines, (peas and all) coeklcburs and all the vegetable matter on the land. That was the best crop of oats I ever made. The fertilizing capacity of peas being j in proportion with the growth and j luxuriance of the vine. They should be planted limmcilinicly nltori the : cereal crop is harvested, in order to I secure the greatest growth of vine possible and the utmost fertilization to the land." We can greatly improve our corn lands by sowing 'broad cast'from one to two bushels of peas to the acre at our last plowing of corn. On lands too much worn or deficient in tbis mineral element, by , supplying thiB deficiency we can make a heavy crop of vines and pens^ The latter can be gathered or, fed^pff, tho vines remain ing'on-tho land as_manurc for the Vic^t corn eFopf ~$'ud on lands where peas die out when planted in the hill, if sown bioad.cast at the last plowing will some of them live and produce a fair crop, leaving the land in better condition for a succeeding crop of any kind. Much more can be said in favor of the pea as a fertilizer, but is it necessary? Wehere present to )OU within the reach of every one. The farmers "heal all and cure all." No more can the cry come up from' us that-our lands are too poor to raise goo'd crops, and wc cannot afford ' o buy the necessary manures.

One of the saddest of tragedies was committed on Friday evening at the I home of Mr. Richard Holbein, near Hillside, Westmoreland county, Pa. Mr. II. and his w ife went away on a visit on Friday, leaving at home their son Joseph, aged i22,. their daughter Mary, aged 19, and two other daughters, 9 and 11 years1 of age respectively. In the evening Jo seph attended a spelling 4ibee," cau tioning his sister Mary, as he went away, to beware of tramps. At about 9 o'clock he staited for home, and ns he approached the house the barking of the dog, alarmed his sister, as Joseph was not expected back at so early an hour. It is probable that the young man intended to test his sister's courage, for he pulled his hat down over his facei and otherwise dis guised himself. When he was within a few rods of the house, Mary ap peared in the door way and hailed him: "Is that you, Joe?" Ruthe did not answer, and continued to ad vance. Tho girl, now worked up to a high pitch of excitement, again hailed the advancing figure with, "Who are you?" Still no answer, and Mary shouted again, "Is that you, Joe?" and ran into the house and armed her sei if with a shot-gun. Re turning toJLhe door she discovered, to her surprise, the strange man stand ing on the 'steps;" and tin soon as she appeared he advanced toward her. "Stop," she shouted, "stop, or I will shoot you !"?lie took another step, ami at the same instant the girl raised tlte gun and Ii red, and he sank down on tho porch groaning, "Oh, my dear sister !" "Oh, my dear brother, I have killed you!" the pocr girl screamed as she threw down the gun and carried him into the house, where he soon died.?Johnstown Tribune. ?RAND LODGE OF ODD FgLMWS. ?tU I i! nil t . ??',:> 'AyBjno id PROCEEDINGS OK THE ANNUAL SESSION UECENTLY 11EL?

Barr ion in the chair and Fast Gj'and F. beMars as Secretary pro teiu.' After prayer, tin? Grand Lodge was opened in ample form and new uiem bers received the degrees. 'The Grand Master's report was i read and referred to a special com mittee, namely, Bros. Fischer, Curtis and Trump. The Grand Secretary's report was read aud referred to Bros. FJmlym, Fischer and Muslcrman as 'the Fi nance Committee. The report of the Grand Treasurer was also referred to the Finance Committee. The report of the Grand Represen tative was referred to the above spc cial committee.. *. The amendment to the constitution reducing the salary of the Gland Sec retary from $200 to $50 per; annum was adopted. .Nominations for "ftieers were then made, and the election made*the spe cial order for 5 P. M. An appeal from Marion Ltylge, of Charleston, as to whether dm accept ed note for dues placed a member in good standing was decided in the negative. An assessment ot 25 con ts per capita was levied upon surb?Vdinate lodges, should the funds, in the opin ion of the Grand Mister, be needed for the purposes of the Grand Lodge. The election for ollicers was then entered into, and the followbg elect ed: . I Grand Master?N. W. Tj?rrip, of Columbia. Deputy Grand Master?F. W. Sta dorf, of Charleston. Grand Warden?A.

It was ordered that the installation of otllccr8 be postponed until 9 A. M., Thursday, the lGth. Alter the transaction of secret busi ness and accepting the Invitation of Lafayette Lodge, of Chester^ to a supper, the Grand Lodge took a re cess until the hour for installation. The Grand Lodge reassembled at 9 A. M. on Thursday, the lGth, Grand Master W. F. Barton in the chair. The ollicers elect were then install ed in a lodge of the fifth degree, in the presence of a l uge representa tion of the order. The Grand Representative then in structed the members of the order in the initiatory and other degrees, in cluding the degree of Rebecca. He also informed the members that their sisters, daughters and wives had been made olligihlc to membership in the : Rebecca degree, and that the mini mum age was 18. After reopening tho Grand Lodge, Grand Master Trump made the fol lowing appointments : District Deputy Grand Masters? Ornngoburg, A. Fischer ; Chester, E. Kain ; Charleston, F. W.

The Grand Lodge and many per sons; not connected with tho order partook of a rich supper at ihc Mer chants' Hotel, kept by Mrs. M. J. Melton, who by the way, keeps an excellent table, attentive seivnnts, and makes her guests perfectly com fortable. Fourteen Past Grands of Lafayette Lodge became members of the Grand Lodge. j His Honor Judge Mackey, who participated in the enjoyments of tile recess' extended ati invitation to the members of the order to visit his resi dence prior to their, departure, which was accepted, and the Judge and bis excoll'-nt lady entertained their visi tors in a handsome manner. The host, end hostess served their guests with wine tnado from native grapes, grown in Chester, known as the Jane Wiley prapc, tho wine from which excels in richness of flavor any im ported article. Tho members of the order left Chester full of appreciation of the hospitality of the Chester folk. ? The Reason Why. Somebody?a erustv old bachelor of courso?inquires why, when Eve was manufactured of a spare rib, a servant wasn't made at the same time to wait on her? Somebody else?a woman we imagine?replies, in the following strain: "Because Adam never came whining to Eve with a ragged stocking lo be darned, collar string to be sowed on, or a glove to mend right away?quick now ! Be cause he never .read the. newspaper until the sun had got down behind the palm trees, and he stretching out, yawned, 'Isn't supper most ready, my dear?' Not he. Ho made the,fire, and hung the kettle over it himself, we'll venture; and pulled the rad ishes, peeled the potatoes, and did Ieverything else he ought to do. He 1 milked thii cows, fed the chickens, and looked after tho pigs himselt, l and he never brought half a dozen friends to dinner when Eve hadn't any fresh pomgranates. He never stayed out until eleven o'clock to a political meeting, hurrahing for an out aud qut candidate, acd then scold ed because poor Eve was sitting up and crying inside the gates, lie never played billiards, rolled ten pins, and drove fast horses, nor chok ed Eve with cigar smoke. lie never loafed around the corner groce ries while Eve rocked little Cain's cradle at home. In short, he didn't think he was especially created for the purpose of waiting on, and wasn't under the impression thai it disgrac ed a man to lighten a new wife's cares a little. That's the reason that Eve did not need a hired girl, and with it was the reason that h?r fair descendants did." How He Cured Them. Many of the congregation made it I a part of their religion to twist their necks out of joint to witness the en trance of every person who passed up the aisle of the church. Being worried one afternoon by this turning practice. Mr. Dean stopped in his sermon, and said : "Now, you listen to me, and I'll tell you who the people are as each one of them comes:" He went on with his discourse un til a gentleman entered, when ho bawled out like an usher : "Deacon A-, who keeps a shop over the way." j lie then went on with his sermon, when presently another man passed into the aisle and he gave his name, resideneo and occupation ; so he con tinued for some time. At length somo ono openedd the door who was unknown to Mr. Dean, when he cried out: "A little old man, with drab coat ami an old white hat; don't know him?look for yourselves." The congregation was cured. Tho editor of an Illinois paper thinks that fishing, as a general rule, doesn't pay. He says "We stood all day in the river last week, hut caught nothing?until we got home." Chartgo ot Life. ' Change is the common feature of society-?of life. Ten years convert the population of schools into men and women, the young into fathers and matrons, make and marry fortunes, and bury the last generation but one. Twenty yours' convert infants into lovers, fathers5 tmd mothers," decide men's fortunes and distinctions, con vert active men and women into crawling drivelers, and bury all pre ceding generations. ? Thirty years raise an active gene ration from nonenity, change fasci nating beauties into bearable 'old ladies, convert lovers into grandfath ers, and bury the active generation or reduce them to decrepitude or im becility. ?>' Forty years, alas! change the face of all society. Infanta are growing old, the bloom of youth and beauty has pesscd away, two active genera tions have been swept trora the stage of life, names once cherished are for gotten, unsuspected candidates for fame have started up from the cx hanstlcss womb of nature.

We see every thing turned upside down by the fick le hand of fortune^and* the absolute destiny of time. In a word, we be hold the vanity of life, and are quite ready to lay down the poor burden and be gone. How to Make Cows Give Milk.' A writer in the Southern Farmer says that his cow gives all the milk that is wanted in a family of eight, and that from it, after taking all that is required for other purposes, 2G0 pounds of butter were made last year. This is, in part, his treatment of the cow : If you desire to get a large yield of rich milk, give your cow every day water slightly warm and slighly salted in which bran baa been stirred at the rate of one quart to two gallons of water. You will find, if you have not tried ibis daily prac tice, that your cow will give twenty five per cent, more milk immediately under the effects of it, and she will become so attached to the diet as to refuse to drink clear water unless veey thirsty. But this iness she will drink almost any time and far more. The amount of this drink necessary is an ordinary watcrpail full at a time, morning, noon and night. Nothing so disorganizes the Radi cal statesman as the fact that while his parly freed the negro and put the ballot into his hands, "the man and brother" persists in voting in accord ance with the dictates of common senso?that is, in favor of those who give him employment, and who nro almost to a man, Democrats. In other words, instead of strengthening their own party, tho Republicans have, by their war amendments, given the Democrats more power both in Congress and the electoral colleges and more votes at the polls. There would be precious iiltle African en fnuchiscmeut if the Radicals could repeal those amendments. It is said that a few year* ago A. T. Stewart, the New York millionaire, purchased an old church and the grounds, changed it to a stable. In clearing off the ground, many hnmau bones were excaVaUd, and earted away with the rubbish. Some per sons who had relatives there, remon strated against the desecration, but were not heeded. They were, pcr^ haps, poor people. But now, Stew art is dead, and his bones have been stolen, $00 000 have been offered for their recovery, all because he was a rich man.
