QBAKQB PBgABTKBHY. Cutler th? SupervtMon of tho Kxeoutlv? Committee of foriuna Unwise Pomona Orange No. G., Patrons of Husbandry, will meet at Anderson on on thc first Saturday of April next, and a general turnout of representatives from the sub-Oranges would greatly contribute to the encouragement, advancement and prosperity of the Order. Come along, brethren, and let us have a confidential, family talk over and about thc prospects, hopes and expectation!, of our Order. In thc past few year? wc have encoun tered many ami trying difficulties ; wc have realized only o partial success from sonic of ou- efforts for good, while in others wc have bad thc mortification to witness an almost total failure. Hut the darkness of thc ill-boding cloud is pass ing away, and bright rays of hope and cheering expectations arc looming up to quicken our energy, confirm our faith and roward our future properly directed efforts. Many of our dormant Oranges are hopefully revived, delinquent mem bers arc reinstated upon their rolls, new members have been im tinted, and thc number of "clear members" have been nearly doubled within tho first quarter of tho present year. Your power and im portanco is being folt and recognized all over tho country ; aud by our govern ment, not enthusiastically, but Burely appreciatively. The number of legisla tors, both National and State, represent ing our interests in tho halls of legisla tion aro perceptibly on tho increase. Not long since tho President of the United States was pleased to compliment the National Orange 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 tho govern ment to ndvancc and elevate thc farming interests of tho country. Your complaint and petition for relief on the subject of railroad discrimination bas been promptly responded to by our National and State Legislatures. In the Senate of tho United Stntcs Mr. Davis, of Virginia, introduced thu following preamble and resolutions, which com manded thc nttcntion and wisdom of grave Senators in their places: Whereas agriculture is tho foundation o nearly nil our wealth, and it is mnlnly through the exportation of ita products that we are paying off our large Indebtedness, P-eign nnd domestic, and bavo thc present larne balance of trade In our favor ; and Whereas nlthough about one-half of th people of this country arc engaged in agri cultural pursuits and all other Interests aro dependent upon this, cur leading ami most important interest, commercial and other wise, yet but littlo hos been dono by tb" . General Government to promote ngrieul- j ' turc, while other loss general and important Interests have been largely aided : Therefore Resolved /?/ thc Semite, (the House of Repre sentatives conritrring,) That the committees on agriculture of the respective Houses be, mid tliey are hereby, inst meted to consider generally the subject of agriculture, and re port, by hill or "otherwise, what um anti t ought to bc done by tho General Govern ment to better advance, encourage, and i foster agricultural interests, and that said ^ committees shall hnve the power to send for persons and papers. jj Mr. Davis truly said: "It is a subject . so brond, eo national, so universal, so non jtartisan, so non-sectional, so far-rcnchuig I: in its effects and importait in its results, ln that it should at once command thc pa tient attention of all, and in its consid- ? oration party feeling and party passion 1 ?hould have no voice. It ? iu thc foundation upon which civilization ( and society rest ; tho basis and source of f tho permanent wealth of a nation. No s pcoplo iu history bavo made substantial progress in civilization, tho arta and t sciences, and have remained long pros- c pcrous, if they neglected agriculture. It is tho most universal of all arts, tho pa- 0 rent of manufactures und commerce, and j tho basis of all other industries, and c without which all others must decay and c perish." B Lift up your weary heads, yo toil-worn r men of the field, and gazo with delight t upon brightening prospects before you. t Heretofore you have been oppressed and weighted down by your own government in tho exaction of exorbitant taxes. Now your annual taxes aro growing de- tl lightfully less, with a hope of further 1 reduction. Merchants and traders of [ every ciass have been demanding high v profita from you for their goods and wares ami receiving your goods at mero ' nominal prouts. Now you can buy in j the cheapest marketa and demand remu nerating prices for your surplus goods. No longer plod .along the benton path in despondency ; cheer up and feel a lively sense of your importance in tho world. Realizo that you, and each of you, con stitute distinct personages in tho forma tion of this great mass of operators, with a distinct duty to perform, tho omi-sion of which mny jeopard tho final success of your body as a wholo. As tho dofec tive link of a stiong chain severs tho union of ita strength, so the dallying member of this great concourse may very materially binder and delay the accomplishment of our prospective good Be sdvised. Press forward in your daily avocations with diligence and energy. Bo frugal and economise ns your situa tion will allow. Bo sure your dollar ia made before it is spent. Be united for effective and successful action when ne cessity calla you to the point. Suprr-?'hosphatcs. Messrs. Editor* American larmer : Having been prejudiced in favor of using animal bone as tho base ot' my auper-phospha'fo, I hnve avoided tho uso of South Carolina and Navassa phos phates, notwithstanding they aro said to contain a larger percentage of phospho ric acid, at less than half tho cost of bone, with less risk of adulteration. Prompted by tho favorable reports of Mr. Carter'of tho Pennsylvania Experimental Farm, . who has obtained such satisfactory re ' suits from the uso of the South Carolina rock, I have been induced to make some experiments with it. and, I am glad to J i say, with results entirely satisfactory, al though prepared entirely different from Mr. Carter's plan-I using muriat ic in- j i stead of sulphuric acid as a solvent. 11 Purchasing 400 pounds of the fine-ground rock, it was sent to Messrs. Tyson cc Co.'s chrome works, where th? acid is a by product of this extensive and well-known establishment, being obtained from tho muriate of potaste, which is used in man ufacturing their bi-chromate of potassa, well known throughout this and other countries. Tho phosphate was dissolved in the acid, the resulting compound being a solution-?. e., la liquid lorm containing mouophospbato or soluble phosphate of limo and chlorido of cal cium, or muriate of lime, i This of coursa not being portable, except \tx tight bar reis, oyster-shell lime was used as an ab sorbent and dryer in sufficient quantity to accomplish tho desired r~v\. Hy tho addition of thc lime tho mono phosphate is nt once converted into, and precipitated as, a tribasic or bone phos phate, but in a remarkably fine state of division-a thousand times liner than any sieve would divide it, and hence in n much better condition for thc acting power of rain, loaded willi carbonic acid and ammonia, in dissolving and convey ing it to the root? of plants. This mix ture was applied in the fall of 1H77 lo ? very poor ?-pot in a field where every other application hud failed to show any results, and its action was watched with much interest. Karly in the spring of 1878, a remark able growth of while clover began to show itself, and this, with timothy, red top ami red clover, soon covered thu ground with a beautiful green carpet, (something I had never seen ibero be fore,) and by harvest time 1 had a line crop of hay and the pasture continued good till December, along with a great growth of some annual plant 1 ?tm not acquainted with, and which I soon in tend to burn lor the ash, as the stock did not seem to touch it. A similar mixture was used by my friend, Jos. Huberts, a son of your former editor, with results corresponding in a measure with my own, only a much larger crop of white clover where norn: hail been seen before. Although with me the season was a very favorable one, I um prepared to give credit to thu application; and being so much cheaper than bone, it may bc an inducement to some ol your readers to try au experiment with it. Thc niixtrc acting HO well with the writer, 1 have induced my f. ?cud, I'rof. Simon, the analytic chemist who has charge of Messrs. Tyson it Co.'s chrome works, to prepare some ?d' it-muriatic acid, as I said before, being a by-product with them in making the bi chromate . I potassa, it is an object to get rid of it in this form provided ' allie m full is given to thc farmer. T< further test thc mat ter, several of my neighbors have, pro cured small lob? ;H an experiment lo as certain whether il will prove a desirable addition lo their land-for having so often seen liighly-recoiniiieiided and ex pensive fertilizers fail in doing thc least apparent good, I am rather cautious in recommending any of them, even when I have seen good effects from their usc. This mixture is guaranteed to contain twenty-live per cent, of precipitated or reconverted bone phosphate, a much larger percentage than is often found in mixtures costing double the money. 1 regret not being able to report any thing trom parties who tried it last fall JU wheat, and can hardly hope to bear )f such good results as with me, for thc limpio reason that what will make grass nay entirely fail with wheat, as tho lat er seems to require food that has once Dceii through some other plant, or, what H better, through holli plants and ani ??is. On this ground I have depended nore on animal phosphate, knowing itt? invo passed th rough both, whilst tin nincral phosphate .MIS touched neither Wheat is the nighest organized vegetable iroduct, and must have proper food, holli diemical and physical, as we well know mist bc the case in thc animal kingdom md on this point I am reminded by mj log sitting alongside of nie, that be mus? nive animal food, although of the saint !onipoaitioe?as vegetable-carbon, hydro ron and oxygen, or, in other words :harcoal ami water. Ii 1 correctly re nember, fifty-one days is the longes imo n dog has been known to live oi tarchy food, while a rabbit will grow fa in the starch found in bark, Ac. If this preparation will act us food foi vheat, it can bc made much cheaper thai villi bone containing 30 to 50 per cent ?rgunie matter said to bo able to generali > to C per cent, ammonia. All my ex icrimcnts have made mea little fan?tica m the subject of tho worthlessness of or ;unic matter as plant food, except for tin nincral matters they contain-i. e., tin ah. In addition to a full supply of phos ihoric acid in tho ubovo mixture, then s chlorine: and lime, making three im lortant elementa for the soil. Tin hither addition of potash might provi lesirublo for nonie lands, but I havi ailed to see any benefit by its usc-whicl imply means that mg soil did not ucci t. Tho above mixture can bo sold it " city, delivered in bugs, at $18 pe i.., upon tho conditions mentioned o ontaiuing 25 per cent, of precipitate! mue phosphate, and entirely free of an; irgnntc matter or free ammonia. The world is full of errors, and th dca that a fertilizer must contain 30 pe :ent. of organic matter to produce il pc cnt. ammonia 1 consider one of th Teiltest, and ono which hos cost ou armera millions of dollars and bank opted many ; and I nm glad to kno\ hut many are finding it out, but unfoi unnlely too late for some. Tho error I think hus crept in from th act thnt ammonia is thu prominent eh nent, or tho perceptible one, in stahl n.inure, Peruvian guano, &c., and n loubt as a stimulant in producing an al loruiul growth of tho plant-the sain esult being obtained by an unusual sui dyofw -jr. This is well calculated t malead many to the conclusion that th Xtiflcial application of it is all-importan using sight of every other clement i nanuro, and many of them in guan '\>rmerly 10 to 15 per cent of atntnoui >as deemed necessary ; now 8 \ ?r cen \ ample, and many of our most ruliab lanufncturcrs of fertilizers uro drnppin L altogether-among them the reliab ouse of Slinglull'&Co., who aro usu; one ash and South Carolina phosphat nd I know in many canes with grci ucccsa with those who have used it. Ten years ago, when I first started tl den that thc air. composed of 78 pi cnt. of nitrogen, (thc base of ammonia upplied all that was necessary, as it do if curb-1, (represented by only two pi icnt. iii tho air.) aud yet a hundred-io nore consumed iii tho production of ? ;nnic life, the idea was treated with rid iule by almost every one, not forgcttii 'our Benior editor. Hut now what .hange I Ammonia is losing friends, ai lone do her reverence. On thc contrat bo cry is, "hit her again." I intended to give yon the formt! ?Bod in preparing a phosphate contai ng about twenty-five per cent, of bo dicsphnto, but upon a close calculan '. find that tho material will cost about ouch ns such a phosphate can be c ained of tho manufacturers, who ha jvery facility in making it, and bet stn produce it cheaper and botter p lured than tho farmer as a general thu considering tho return of tho carbo labor, Ac. A phosphato mado of Soi ?arolinu phosphate and sulphuric nc md warranted to conlaiu twenty-five | icrit. of bone, in the form of monoph pinuc and precipitated bone, can bc p chased for cash at a price from $25 to ; Scr ton, which I think is cheaper thai ome-mado articlo cr": be produced, c ddering the trouble, (lunger of break; and expenso of returning the carboys. The South Carolina phosphate, said contain 60 per cent, ol bone phosphi selbt for about $15 p*r ton, whilo bo ash, with 70 to 80 per cent., costs m than double : hence, if the former \ take its place the reader can seo wha laving to the farmer. It is worth a tr and in making it would suggest the at tion aa an experiment of sumo pot and magnesia, both of which can found in tho Gorman kai nit, worth lo $20 a ton. I will add that I have b much interested in a letter recently p listiod from the Sandwich Islands giv sn account of the great development the sugar interest thcro since tho trc With the United Slate.'. ??im?ttilig it bf duty. - Tho iertilieer used ia powd< lava, ?nd out of thu and its kine formation all soils are derived-tho gr lng icebergs, tho falling rains and rt lng torrents performing their share of work, depositing tho fine clay?, sa Ac, to meet thc nie mid rnys of thc sun, ? with tlic directing hand of an overruling power in springing into existence organic life at first of a low type, hut finally into wheat, tho great food for man when lie i was ready to appear-thc low order of vegetable lifo preparing thc mineral mat ter for a higher one. Let UH follow tin; same ruh; : get your land to grow clover and gras-s, thc former to 'oe turned under and the bitter a?, food for your animal-'; I and then commence . our manure pile, for without it thc permanent improve ment of worn-out ?oil? w ill prove an up hill business.

I have no ??lea who willi he thc I lemocriitic nominee in 1880 for President. It is ono of thc uncertainties of the fu turo, and no satisfactory belief can bc entertained by any sensible man in re ference to it. I do not know whether Mr. Tilden will he renominated, ami have no opinion on the subject. I will say I do not think he ought to be renom inated. I was opposed to him before and am moro opposed to his renomination than I was lo his first nomination." "Who do you think thc Republicans will nominate7" .Mr. Stephens was asked to which bc ti plied : "I have no more satisfactory idea on that point that. I have .ts to who the Ih.'iuocrats will nominate, .lodge Hooley ?d'Georgia, once Haid if there was any thing that wa., unknown to God it was a verdict of a petit jury, ami I think if the Judge was alive ht: would include among the possible things unknown to dod that of the nomination of any national con vention of either party for a candidate for the Presidency in these days."
