" P&troas <tf Harbaii?ry*'* ?jj Thia is the "nama of -a new agrie ul tuml organization, secret i ni ts char acter, but great good to the farming interest is promised to be achieved through it? agency. Coi D. Wyatt Aiken, in a letter to the Abbeville ./Vaia d Vanner', irrites thus in refer ence to thia new. oiganizatiun ; " Your readers have, at one time oi' another, seen the announcement that the "Patrons of Husbandry"j were aa organization, banded together by mystic ties for the benefit of ail parties directly interested in the-( tanse of agricaltare".; I?uriu? a recent ?isit to the G?ty of Washington, I took occasion to investigate thia, ?ub j]oct carefully, and have no hesitation m asserting tba*," aa organ?z?d, it can - j bat be of incalculable advantage to the planting interest of our'country, North, South? 'Bast ami West. Having been proffered, a rasponei- j ble position in toe Order, I accepted. it solely upon ' the grounds that it] would be purely agricultural. Ex perience has proven to os its virtues, and while I would not advise an or ganis?t i on (a Grange) of this sort in any community, wmpry. Upon the ground of curiosity, I do not nesitate io advise our planters and.fanners to zmite and form Granges everywhere, I guaran tee to them that just so soon, if ever, that I observe "ny politics, sectarianism, or 'other o^moralizihg influence obtruding itself into ' the Order, either through the National or any State Grange, I will expose the imposition, and protect my fellow planters frorn injury or Toss " You will owerve, by the enclosed constitution, that nine persons may organize a Grange. Thirty persons, is the maximum number, ten of whom moat be females, that mar do the name. It is better to haye tho larger number at first,'because the initiation fee for males in the.outset is only three dollars, and for females fifty, ?ats ; whereas, five ao??ars for raa?es* and two dollars ibr females MT'th* initiation fee to join an organized Grange. " lam prepared to discuss.the mer its of thia Ord or before the public ? ind trill cheerfully go to any portion of our Obrniy.'orindeed of the State, where as. many as thirty persons d* eiring to organize a Grange may wish to be informed on the subject. Apart from the social feature of the Order, our people will be -astonished to learn the practical advantage accruing from ilia many of the Northern States, and in more than one of the Sou them. A careful reading of the constitution will disabuse the mind of the central i - zation suggested by the name " Na tional Grange," wborice emanate the Controlling laws of the Order ; and convince every sceptic, who believes in them there is strength, that a 'Na tional Head is as necessary for the successful working of the "Patrons: " of Husbandry," as it ia for the vital existence of genuine Republicanism. Very truly, D. WYATT AIKEN. HAY MORE VALUABLE THAN COT TON.-Under.the above heading, the Columbus (Ga.) Sun discusses the subject, and says : Planters ruin themselves hy raising cotton, and borrow money at a tre mendous per centags to nay the West for corn and hay, bound with blocks of Western wocp, when gras* ia go ing to watte in the abundant fields, and they could cultivate abuudance of better grain than they have pur chased *nd save the transportation of wood! Did planters ever think the hay crop was more valuable than that of cotton ? The figures prove it. The total value of the cotton crop for 1870 in the United States, according to the figures of the Agri cultural Bureau, amounted to $286, 000,000. 2be total value of the hay crop $339,000,000, showing the value of the latter exceeded the former $?3^000,000. In Georgia the hay 'crop that year was estimated at $1, 28cUfiO, while that of New York was $77,000.000. Soa'iherners can never be independent until they learn to plant 'less, and farm more. Their own snrCxdal policy has made the country poorer than in 1865. Will i 1872 bo but a. mere repetition of ] former years and be catalogued among thei failures f? Ve hope not. .--: SHEEP AND CLOVES.-These we be lieve -to be the two great agencies that are to revolutionize Southern agricul ture, and the ene is the complement of the other. Sheep wll enable us to grow clover, claver will help us to keep our sheep in fine condition, and. bow together will work something almost like a miracle on our worn ou plantations. But whnt about- the dogs and the freedmen? we are a#ked by those who hare no faith in either clover or sheep. We hive lately put this question te several ' extensive vootgrowers in Abbeville county, and the reply is, that with proper j management t?ere is little er na dan ger m lcm from either mutton-loving n-jgrocs or vicious d >tr . The sheejt ?re penned at night, ;:nJ during the day they run in their rast tires with out being disturbed by any Ching. De pend opon it, for tn a b?rge portion ot our middle and upp-r country, sheep and clever aro the magic ' word? of | tbenew era, of South*T agriculture. Bural Carolin noi". Young men, don't crowd the cities and. towns. The country imparta health, tone, and mord, physical a id intellectual vigor. America's gr??t es' sod best men have sprung fr<>m the-fresh virgin soil of thc country. Don't shirk hard labor. Stick -to the * farm, for ?here is nr>st happiness and profit. Cities are overdone with hale* and hearty young men-who say they are trying W rise in the world, but wbo-make ?ad nwt* ken when they leave the " old man" to struggle on al'?ne, and posh themselves into the dense croiydp which. throng; the pro fessions and the walks of business. ASHES FOU SWEET POTATOES.-A correspondent in the " Southern Cul tivator" says: ?. I notice the question asked,. which.is the best fertilizer or jamure for sweet potatoes ? From the" experience Tha-ve," had in manu ring the ?Mnfltmj I must say that rotted ashes, when properly put on, bas precedence over aU others I have had any experience with. 'The plan thai I adopted was to open a deep furrow with scooter pldw, and put in a plentv of ashes. Bed1 on tbs asnee, an-d" a sure crop may'be realized on the ' poorest soil. Cow-] be. abandoned, provided ashes can be had. I experimented on as poor soil as ?" tad, and"-he result was as fine a crop, of,potatoes' as Iey>r^sa^.qn any kind of land. Rotted' whee is good for-cotton ah*v and almost any-land, ' I am dohvinced-there i ' ls not? batter fertilizer-made on plantation iban rotted ash es. _ So e' one will Snd ii greatly to Wa int? te taite special care of it."

It ia very ranch the habit of J vinci*] editors, when they have nc ?hg else to write about, to d?vbf column or two to givihg gratuit advice to the farmers. We h never indulged in this weakness two reasons; first; because we w satisfied that the farmers knew tl own business better than we did. i secondly, because w,e knew* tl .would db their own way no .mat how mnch.advic?. we might see lil wa*te\ipoo them. Itt view, however, of the num of "wagons that we dally see haul corn from ? this place ? to .all |>art> the c?u|ty. we will- venture *to I?? ocne: suggestion, which, if .earried o wp:tld, we believe, prevent the nee si ty of wkijesnt^hesame urhpleasi sight another s?asbn. Just at this time everybodv is i gaged in planting cotton. The b Lina on the plantation has been lected for that purpose; and the nu ber of acres to be given up to t so-call sd Ki rig has been care fully c eula te i and laid oft. What west gast now is, that every farmer in t coon[ty shall take ihrre acres of i beet land set aparUfor cotton for ea plow that .he runs, and plant it corn instead of cotton.. It mig [seem at first that this -would m ak* 'Very small difference in the result the crop;" but a little calcularle based upon reliable figures, will eh? .that the increased production of cn resulting from this change would jsu*rEcieht to supply every horse ai [iqule in the county with twenty biu els, which would gp very far towar feeding them for the next year. A .cording*to the pub-fished tax ret ur of 1870 there ar* in' Chester Couu 1.692 horse?, and 2,190 rau'es-tot 3,8S2. We wiri suppose that of tl [number 3,600 are regularly employ< inn farms. If our suggestion we adopted 10,500 acres would be &dd< ?to "he area planted in corn. Tl ^ui'po-'iti 'n being that it is-the b< jUnd < n the plantation where tj c'iange of ba-e from, cotton to corn nv.de. it is not too high an estima jto place, the y iel. I of these acres i an average of eight bushels. Tl liicre.u-ed yield . f ?orn in the count wou J, therefore, be 84,000 bushels ' r more than twenty bushels for ever muli* and horse that we h* ve. 'I bis, corn at $1.5.0 per bushel woul be w- rth $126,000. The 10,500 acr. of-land wonld probably yield 2",5C bales of cotton, which, at fifteen cen1 ber pound, would be Worth $150,00( The seeming difference rn favor c the cultivation of cotton would I $24,000. . But when we take int consideration the - damage done t stock by hauling heavy loads ovc oor rongh roads, hud the time lo; from farm work in hauling the cor from the railroad to the farm?, it mus be apparent to any reflectmg min ^hat the loss thus ineurred more tba cotin'- rbalances the 'apparent diffei ence in favor of-the cotton culture.

East, North and Sou'h. v. The Hon. Elizur Wright, who is -admitted to be the greatest Insurance Mathematician and Actuary in America, congratulating The Brooklyn upon this new and distinctive feature, says, among other, things, "I am particularly pleased by your departure in the right direction from the ordinary method of computing the Surrender Values." "Ons of the great> est. drawbacks to the popularity of Life Insurance, has been the: dasap pointnunt ?'.nd dissatisfaction of retiring Policy holders, at the smallness of -thc Surrender value paid," &c. "All this would have been prevented by a distinct statement on the Folia/, m advance, of the sum to be paid." .This statement, it will be seen, The Brooklyn ..makes in dollars and cents, so that there ?-an be no mistake.
