Atens ?titV&gmfflt. Coder the Supervision of the Executive Committee of Pomona Grange. Pomona Grange No. 6., Patrons of Husbandry, will meet at Anderson on on tho first Saturday of April next, and a general turnout of representatives from the sub-Granges would greatly contribute to the encouragement, advancement aud prosperity of the Order. Come along, brethren, and let us have a confidential, family talk over and about the prospects, hopes and expectations of our Order. In the past few years we have encoun? tered many and trying difficulties; we have realized only a partial success from some of ou" efforts for good, while in others we have had the mortification to witness an almost total failure. Buc the darkness of the ill-boding cloud is pass? ing away, and bright rays of hope and cheering expectations are looming up to quicken our energy, confirm our faith and reward our future properly directed efTorts. Many of our dormant Granges are hopefully revived, delinquent mem? bers are reinstated upon their rolls, new members have been initiated, and the number of "clear members" have !Neen nearly doubled within the first quarter of the present year. Your power and im? portance is being felt and recognized all over tbo country; and by our govern? ment, not enthusiastically, but surely appreciatively. The number of legisla? tors, both National and State, represent? ing our interests in the halls of legisla? tion are perceptibly on the increase. Not long since the President of the United States was pleased to compliment the National Grange by an invitation to visit him and the different departments of State, and earnestly solicited their co? operative wisdom in favor of the initia? tory efforts introduced by the govern? ment to advance and elevate the farming interests of the country. Your complaint and petition for relief on the subject of railroad discrimination has been promptly responded to by our National and State Legislatures. In the Senate of the United States Mr. Davis, of Virginia, introduced the following preamble and resolutions, which com? manded , the attention and wisdom of grave Senators in their places: Whereas agriculture is the foundation of nearly all our wealth, and it is mainly through the exportation of its products that we are paying off our large indebtedness, foreign and domestic, and have the present larRe balance of trade in our favor; and Whereas although about one-half of the people of this country ore engaged in agri? cultural pursuits and all other interests ore dependent upon this, our leading and most important interest, commercial and other? wise, yet but little has been done by the General Government to promote agricul? ture, while other loss general and important interests have been largely aided: Therefore, Resolved by the Senate, (the House of Repre? sentatives concurring,) That the committees on agriculture of the respective Houses be, and they are hereby, instructed to consider generally the subject of agriculture, and re? port, by bill or otherwise, what can and ought to bo done by the General Govern? ment to better advance, encourage, and foster agricultural interests, and that said committees shall have the power to send for persons and papers. Mr. Davis truly said: "It is a subject so broad, to national, so universal, so non partisan, so non-sectional, so far-reaching in its effects and important in its results, that it should at once command the pa? tient attention of all, and in its consid? eration party feeling and party passion should have no voice. It is the foundation upon which civilization and society rest; the basis and source of the permanent wealth of a nation. No people in history have made substantial progress in civilization, the arts and sciences, and have remained long pros? perous, if they neglected agriculture. It is the most universal of all arts, the pa? rent of manufactures and commerce, and tho basis of ail other industries, and without which all others must decay and perish." Lift up your weary heads, ye toil-worn men of the field, and gaze with delight upon brightening prospects before you. Heretofore you have been oppressed and weighted down by your own government in the exaction of exorbitant taxes. Now your annual taxes are growing de? lightfully less, with a hope of further reduction. Merchants and traders of every class have been demanding high profits from you for their goods and wares and receiving your goods at mere nominal profits. Now you can buy in the cheapest markets and demand remu? nerating prices for your surplus goods. No longer plod along the beaten path in despondency; cheer up and feel a lively sense of your importance in the world. Realize that you, and each cf you, con? stitute distinct personages in the forma? tion of this great mass of operators, with a distinct duty to perform, the omission of which may jeopard the final auccess of your body as a whole. As the defec? tive link of a strong chain severs the union of its strength, so the dallying member of this great concourse may very materially hinder and delay the accomplishment of our prospective good. Be advised. Press forward in your daily avocations with diligence and energy. Be frugal and economise as your situa? tion will allow. Be sure your dollar is made before it is spent. Be united for effective and successful action when ne? cessity calls you to the point. Super-Phosphates. Messrs. Editors American Farmer: Having been prejudiced in favor of using animal bone as the base of ray supcr-phosplyife, I have avoided the use of South Carolina and Navassa phos? phates, notwithstanding they are said to contain a larger percentage of phospho? ric acid, at less than half the cost of bone, with less risk of adulteration. Prompted by the favorable reports of Mr. Carter'of the Pennsylvania Experimental Farm, , who has obtained such satisfactory re? sults from the use of the South Carolina rock, I have been induced to make some experiments with it, and, I am glad to say, with results entirely satisfactory, al? though prepared entirely different from Mr. Carter's plan?I using muriatic in? stead of sulphuric acid as a solvent. Purchasing 400 pounds of the fine-ground rock, it was sent to Messrs. Tyson & Co.'s chrome works, where the acid is a by? product of this extensive and well-known establishment, being obtained from the muriate of potassa, which is used in man? ufacturing their bi-chromate of potassa, well known throughout this and other countries. The phosphate was dissolved in the acid, the resulting compound being a solution?i. e., in liquid iorm? containing monophosphnte or soluble phosphate of lime and chloride of cal? cium, or muriate of lime. This of course not being portable, except in tight bar reis, oyster-shell lime was used as an ab? sorbent and dryer in sufficient quantity to accomplish the desired end. By the addition of the lime the mono phosphate is at once converted into, and precipitated as, a tribasic or bone phos? phate, but in a remarkably fine state of division?a thousand times finer than any sieve would divide it, and hence in a much better condition for the acting power of rain, loaded with carbonic acid and ammonia, in dissolving and convey? ing it to tbe roots of plants. This mix? ture was applied in the fall of 1S77 to a very poor spot in a field where every other application had failed to show any results, and its action was watched with much interest. Early iu the spring of 1878, a remark? able growth of white clover began to show itself, and this, with timothy, red top and red clover, soon covered the grouud with a beautiful green carpet, (something I had never seen there be? fore,) and by harvest time I had a fine crop of hay and the pasture continued good till December, along with a great growth of some annual plant I am not acquainted with, and which I soon in? tend to burn for the ash, as the stock did not seem to touch it. A similar mixture was used by my friend, Jos. Roberts, a son of your former editor, with results corresponding in o measure with my own, only a much larger crop of white clover where none had been seen before. Although with me the season was a very favorable one, I am prepared to give credit to the application ; and being so much cheaper than bone, it may be an inducement to some of your readers to try an experiment with it. The mixtre acting so well with the writer, I have induced my friend, Prof. Simon, the analytic chemist who has charge of Messrs. Tyson & Co.'s chrome works, to prepare some of it?muriatic acid, as I said before, being a by-product with them in makiug the bi-chromate of potassa, it is an object to get rid cf it in this form provided value in full is given to the farmer. To further test the mat? ter, several of my ucighbors havo pro? cured small lots as an experiment to as? certain whether it will prove a desirable addition to their land?for having so often seen highly-recommended and ex? pensive fertilizers fail in doing the least apparent good, I am rather cautious in recommending any of them, even when I have seen good effects from their use. This mixture is guaranteed to contain twenty-five per cent, of precipitated or reconverted bone phosphate, a much larger percentage than is often found in mixtures costing double the money. I regret not being able to report any? thing from parties who tried it last fall on wheat, and can hardly hope to hear of such good results as with me, for the simple reason that what will make grass mf.y entirely fail with wheat, as the lat? ter seems to require food that has once been through some other plant, or, what is better, through both plants and ani? mals. On this ground I have depended more on animal phosphate, knowing it to have passed through both, whilst the mineral phosphate has touched neither. Wheat is the highest organized vegetable product, and must have proper food, both chemical and physical, as we well know must be the case in tbe animal kingdom ; and on this point I am reminded by my dog sitting alongside of me, that he must have animal food, although of the same compositumas vegetable?carbon, hydro? gen and oxygen, or, in other words, charcoal and water. If I correctly re? member, fifty-one days is the longest time a dog has been known to live on starchy food, while a rabbit will grow fat on the starch found in bark, &c. If this preparation will act as food for wheat, it can be made much cheaper than with bone containing 30 to 50 per cent, organic matter said to be able to generate 3 to 6 per cent, ammonia. All my ex? periments have made me a little fanatical on the subject of the worthlessness of or? ganic matter as plant food, except for the mineral matters they contain?i. e., the ash. In addition to a full supply of phos? phoric acid in the abovG mixture, there is chlorine and lime, making three im? portant elements for the soil. The further addition of potash might prove desirable for some lands, but I have failed to see any benefit by its use?which simply means that mg soil did not need it. The above mixture can be sold in the city, delivered in bags, at $18 per ton, upon the conditions mentioned of containing 25 per cent, of precipitated bone phosphate, and entirely free of any organic matter or free ammonia. The world is full of errors, and the idea that a fertilizer must contain 30 per cent, of organic matter to produce 3 per cent, ammonia I consider one of the greatest, and one which has cost our farmers millions of dollars and bank? rupted many; and I am glad to know that many are finding it out, but unfor? tunately too late for some. The error I think has crept in from the fact that ammonia is the prominent ele? ment, or the perceptible one, in stable manure, Peruvian guano, &c, and no doubt as a stimulant in producing an ab? normal growth of the plant?the same result beiug obtained by an unusual sup? ply of water. This is well calculated to mislead many to the conclusion that the artificial application of it is all-importa nt, losing sight of every other element in manure, and many of them in guano. Formerly 10 to 15 per cent of ammouia was deemed necessary; now 3 per cent, is ample, and many of our most reliable manufacturers of fertilizers are dropping it altogether?among them the reliable house of Slingluffcc Co., who are using bone ash and South Carolina phosphate, and I know in many cases with great success with those who have used it. Ten years ago, when I first started the idea that the air, composed of 78 per cent, of nitrogen, (the base of ammonia,) supplied all that was necessary, as it does of carbon, (represented by only two per cent, iu the air,) and yet a hundred-fold more consumed iu the production of or? ganic life, the idea was treated with ridi? cule by almost every one, not forgetting your senior editor. But now what a change! Ammonia is losing friends, and none do her reverence. On the contrary, the cry is, "hit her again." I intended to give you the formula used in preparing a phosphate contain? ing about twenty-five per cent, of bone phosphate, but upon a close calculation I find that the material will cost about as much as such a phosphate can be ob? tained of the manufacturers, who have every facility in making it, and hence can produce it cheaper and better pre? pared than the farmer as a general thing, considering the return of the carboys, labor, &c. A phosphate made of South Carolina phosphate and sulphuric acid, and warranted to coulaiu twenty-five per cent, of bone, in the form of monophos phate and precipitated bone, can be pur? chased for cash at a price from $25 to $27 per ton, which I think is cheaper than a home-made article can be produced, con? sidering the trouble, danger of breakage and expense of returning the carboys. The South Carolina phosphate, said to contain 60 per cent, of bone phosphate, sells for about $15 per ton, while bone ash, with 70 to 80 per cent., costs more than double: hence, if the former will take its place the reader can see what a saving to the farmer. It is worth a trial, and in making it would suggest the addi? tion as an experiment of some potash and magnesia, both of which can be found in the German kainit, worth $15 to $20 a ton. I will add that I have been much interested in a letter recently pub? lished from the Sandwich Islands giving au account of the great development of the sugar interest there since the treaty with the United Suites admitting it free of duty. The fertilizer used is powdered lava, and out of this and its kindred formation all soils are derived?the grind? ing icebergs, the falling rains and rush? ing torrents performing their share of the work, depositing the fine clays, sauds, &c, to meet the aic and rays of the sun, with the directing hand of an overruling nower in springing into existence organic life at first of a low type, but finally into wheat, the great food for man when he was ready to appear?the low order of vegetable life preparing the mineral mat? ter for a higher one. Let us follow the same rule: get your land to grow clover and grass, the former to be turned under and the latter as food for your animals; and then commence your manure pile, for without it the permanent improve? ment of worn-out soils will prove an up? hill business. A. P. SiiAiir. Rock Hall, Kent Co., Md., Feb., 1879. Hox. A. H. Stephens ox the Next Pkesidexcy.-A correspondent of the New York Herald has been interviewing Hon. A. H. Stephens, of Georgia, on the sub? ject of Presidential candidates in 1880. This is what Mr. Stephens said to him: "I have no opinion to express on the subject. I have no idea who willl be the Democratic nominee in 1880 for President. It is one of the uncertainties of the fu? ture, and no satisfactory belief can be entertained by any sensible man in re? ference to it. I do not know whether Mr. Tilden will be renominatcd, and have no opinion on the subject. I will say I do not think he ought to be renom? inatcd. I was opposed to him before and am more opposed to his renomination than I was to his first nomination." "Who do you think the Republicans will nominate?" Mr. Stephens was asked to which he replied: "I have no more satisfactory idea on that point than I have as to who the Democrats will nominate. Judge Dooley of Georgia, once said if there was any? thing that was unknown to God it was a verdict of a petit jury, and I think if the Judge was alive he would include among the possible things unknown to God that of the nomination of any national con? vention of either party for a candidate for the Presidency in these days."

To boil eggs properly, place them in a dish having a close cover; pour over boiling water; cover and set away from the fire for ten to fifteeu min? utes. Eggs cooked in this way are more delicate and digestible than when al? lowed to boil in the old way. The heat of the water cooks them slowly to a jelly like consistency, leaving the yolk har? der than the white. The Testimony of All.?Ali who use them say that Dr. Price's Special Fla? voring Extracts are the strongest and most natural flavors made. It makes all the difference in the world whether creams and pastry are flavored with Dr. Prices nice, fresh fruit flavors, or the of? fensive turpentiny extracts. ? A Chicago father ofscveral attractive girls put fashionable thin-lepged chairs in his parlor, and was annoyed by the frequency with which the frail furniture was broken. He asked the girls about it, and one of them as reported by the Chicago Tribune laid : "I was sitting in the easy chair by the fire, and Char]? that is to say Mr. Smith? was sitting on the sofa by the window, when suddenly ?crack, down went the little rocking chair that no one was sitting on at all. It must bo the poor glue they use, or perhaps it was the frost." Tho father studied the subject a few days. Then he gave to each daughter a rocker plain? ly inscribed with her name and weight and on each chair riveted a silver plate bearing the words, "Warranted to bear up-pounds." Calling in the girls, he said, "Now if there's any more chairs broken, it is because your young men cr.n't do a sum in simple subtraction, or else because they are bent on malicious mischief and destruction of property." Delicate and Dklktous.?The Pet Rose, Alista Bouquet, Ylang-Ylang, Musk Rose, and all of the odors mado for the handkerchief and toilet by Dr. Price, are not only very delicate and de? licious, but fragrant and persistent. Dr. Price's Unique Perfumes are certainly as sweet as the flowers from which they are made. 45 Years Before the Public. THE CENUSNE DR. Go McLANE'S CELEBRATED LIVER PILLS, FOR THE CURE OF Hepatitis, or Liver Complaint, dyspepsia and sick headache. Symptoms of a Diseased Liver. PAIN in the right side, under the edge of the ribs, increases on pres? sure; sometimes the pain is in the left side; ibo pr.'.i-r.t is rarely able to lie on the left side; sometimes the pain is felt under the shoulder blade, and it frequently extends to the top of the shoulder, and is sometimes mistaken for rheumatism in the arm. The stomach is affected with loss of appe? tite and sickness; the bowels in gen? eral are costive, sometimes alternative with lax; the head is troubled with pain, accompanied with a dull, heavy sensation in the back part. There is generally a considerable loss of mem? ory, atxomprmied with a painful sen? sation of having left undone some? thing which ought to have been done. A slight, dry cough is sometimes an attendant. The patient complains of weariness and debility; he is easily star:lcd, Iiis feet are cold or burning, and he complains of a prickly sensa? tion of the skin; his spirits are low; and althpugh lie is satisfied that exer? cise would be beneficial to him, yet he can scarcely summon up fortitude enough to try it. In fact, he distrusts every remedy. Several of the above symptoms attend the disease, but cases have occurred where few of them ex? isted, yet examination of the body, after death, has shown the liver to have been extensively deranged, AGUE AND FEVER. Dr. C. McLane's Liver Pills, in cases of Agub and Fever, when taken with Quinine, are productive of the most happy results. No better cathartic can be used, preparatory to, or after taking Quinine. We would advise all who are afflicted with this disease to give them a fair trial. For all bilious derangements, and as a simple purgative, they are unequaled. BEWARE OF IMITATIONS.

L'ilc is the natural purgative of the bowels, and if the Liver becomes torpid it is not separated from the blood, but car? ried through the veins to all parts of the system, and in trying to escape thitmgh the pores of the skin, causes it to turn yellow or a dirty brown color. The stomach becomes diseased, and Dys? pepsia, Indigestion, Constipation, Headache, Bili? ousness, Jaundice, Chills, Malarial Fevers, Piles, Sick and Sour Stomach, and general debility fol? low. Merrell's Hbpatinb, the great vegetable discovery for torpidity, causes the Liver to throw off from one to two ounces of bite each time the blood passes through It, as long as there is an ex* cess of bile; and the effect of even a few doset upon yellow complexion or a brown dirty looking skin, will astonish all who tryit?they being the first symptoms to disappear. The cure of all bili? ous diseases and Liver complaint is made certain by taking Hstatins in accordance with directions. Headache is generally cu.-ed in twenty minutes, and no disease that arises from the Liver can exist if a fair trial is given. SOLD AS A SUBSTITUTE FOR PILLS BY ALL DRUGGISTS.
