A CULT UB A L .
"isTlie future of tlie order of the Fa-
iij acting 'upon tlie real questions that
belong to it, and of steering clear of
those in which they are not concerned.
In short, if the order strengthens the
social ties, if it induces the farmer to
read mpre and thereby become better
informed as to the nature of his soil,
-the vatue of fertilizers, the time" and
manner of sowing, etc, its worth can
t Hot be told- But in addition to all this,
..more direct advantages may be gained
if th system of agencies established
by thel&e Granges. Success will
!nodopbtedly attend these if properly
ecidSctedand a capacity for concen
Wstha of business is deyeloped by the
Patrons, Two or three thousand dol-
fore of east trade a day is an alluring
fcalt to hang out before merchants and
manufacturers. It is like putting up
corner Jots at auction. The bidders
are only restrained by a fear that the
wititiition nlfiy be of short life.
if-Will the Patrons nut at rest this
fear, by closely attending the Grange
meetings? Will the secretary assist
Vfffinag, close study of the business
of the order that he mav ad vbe intelli
gently as to the manner of ordering, the
prices nd freights? Will all the of
ficers and members resolve that as - far
as Dossible thev will consolidate their
traots-soas to buy in reality by whole
sale-and at wholesale prices? it you
will, burden the agent ny a thousand
Kfitte'ordfera every week it will be im
possible for bin to attend to them at a
EmaJi4cpmmission; ne yui nave u em

and send you billsv more purchases to
select them and, see after the shipping.
The whole gist of the organization is
co-operation, that the wants of the
many may be transmitted to the whole
sale dealer or manufacturer as one.
Where Patrons have endeavored" to
carry this out, wehave satisfactory re
ports of the result, ana snail expect
complaints more or less where they do

The .Roller.
The importance of the roller as
farm implement is not half appreciated,
and is seldom used. A correspondent
of-the Bural World, after giving di
rections for making a roller says:
A very .mistaken idea prevails as to
the effect of rolline land. The most
common one is that it packs the foil.
This is never true except where the
surface is smooth 'and the sou nne, and
then nerhaDS onlv an inch deep. Usu
ally the land to bo rolled is lumpy as
after the harrow, ihe roller win
crush the lumps in this case if they are
not too hard, and the lumps, although
crushedT'hftve" buoyed up the roller, so
thfttw&nu examination shows thatvthe
loose -"soil, is not packed only the
luiaDS are crushed. But to roll direct-
lyafter the, plow is, above all, the
proper-time to do it. Evetf whenHhe
soil is anDareritlv dry and hard, and
comes up'Iri chunks, there is a little
dampness, in it that enables a heavy
weighted roller to crush it, but if it be
delayed six hdurs, and even three some
times, it dries out so rapidly that it is
past cure. A very foolish idea pre
vails .amont: many .that it tends to form
a-crust and bake; this can never be the
case, because, first, one cannot roll land
at all that is wet enough to bake; sec
ondly, soil wEI run and crust worse not
rolled than if it is.
First, and most important of all, keep
the roller mthefield "with the plow,
and always roll up before noon, and
again beiore night, except on a damp,
cloudy day. Second, roll all plowed
land, except fall plowing for spring
crops. Third, always roll before the
harrow, and then keep rolling and har
rowing until the soil is in condition, no
matter if it is dry. It may be crushed
to powder under the horses', hoofs and
be all the better. Fourth, if the crop
is planted and is up (is corn) a foot
high, or, if nothing is planted, and the
soil is nothing but a mass of hard
lumps, stand ready, watch the weather
closely, so as to let nothing interfere
except the observance of the Sabbath
and as soon after a shower as the soil
will not stick to the roller, put it on
weight it down, have a change of teams
if necessary, and do not let the roller
stop at' breakfast, dinner or supper, till
darkness stops you; thus by striking
while the iron is hot, i. e., rolling while
the lumps are wet. you will have mas
tered the situation.
The text is, rollj.roll your moadows
vour wheat, your corn, your turnip
your fresh plowing and your fallow
and if you are in doubt how to subdue
an unpromising seed bed, roll it. Fi
nally, during plow time, do not lend
your roller for over three or four hours
at any time. ,

but sage tea more than any thing

He concluded he would kill them by
puttiug them into nitric acid; but it
had no more effect upon them than
water; the third day they were as live

reduced to the consistency of ordinary
whitewash.and at the time of applica
tion half an ounce, of carbolic acid is
added to each gallon .of the liquid.
Mr. Saunders says: "I generally ap
ply it in the spring, before the leaves
make their appearance, but I am con
vinced it would be more effective if ap
plied later, but then it is difficult to do
so when the leaves are in foliage.'

only to the stem of the tree, but, to
some extent, to the main branches.
HOUSEHOLD HINTS.
Common wheat flour made in a paste
with cold water or applied dry. is said
to1 take out grease spots without in
j.uring the most delicate fabric.
ine most delicious and dainty way
of enjoying lettuce is to make a sauce
of olive oik-salt and a little vinegar,
and dip the leaves in it as eaten, crisp
and.unbroken. People who eat lettuce
dressed with vinegar and sugar have a
very meager conception of its real de
liciousness. The difference is equal to
that of eating a baked potato with sweet
cream,, and eating one uressed -with
entrap. dnr TZural Ain Vnrl'pjr
In cooking asparagus it is better to
arrange the stalks in bundles with the
heads all one way, so that when done
and taken from the water they may
present a tidy appearance upon the
platter, which should first be covered
with' a napkin large enough to allow
the edges to be turned over and cover
the asparagus. If the cut cuds of the
stalks be somewhat tough, all the bet
ter for convenience in eating, as they
are held in the fingers by that end.
When good olive oil can be had, that,
mixed with salt, pepper and a little
vinegar, forms a delicious saucej other
wise, a hot, white sauce may be made.

until browned; toast bread and lay it
on the platter under the chicken. Pour
a little of the broth into the spider with
the browned butter, thicken with flour,
season to. suit, and pour it over the

add the butter for the gravy to the but

dredge with flour, add salt and pepper,
brown well, and lastly add the chicken

An old farmer once said that he
would not haye ,a hired man on his
farm who did not habitually whistle.
He always hired whistlers. Said he
never knew a whistling laborer to find
fault with lib food, his bed, or com
plain of any little extra work he was
asked to perform. Such a man was
generally kind to children and to ani
mals in his care. He would whistle a
chilled lamb into warmth and life, and
would bring m his hat full of eggs from
the barn without breaking one of them.
lie lound such a man more careful
about closing gates, putting up bars,
and seeing that the nuts on his plows
were allproperly tightened before he
took them into the field. He never
knew a whistling hired man to kick or
beat a cow, nor drive her on a run into
the stable. He had noticed that the
sheep he fed in the yard and shed gath
ered around him as he whistled, with
out fear. He never had emnloved a
whistler who was not thoughtful and
economical. Iitral New Yorlxr.
The following unique plan is said to
be the one long in use by a man who
, ii i
nas naa remarKaoie success in growing
melons. It would probably answer
equally well with squashes and similar
plants: Dig holes twelve inches square,
eight or ten inches deep; fill up with
well-rotted horse manure to the surface.
On this put two inches of soil. Then
take a four-inch flower-not, set in the
center, draw the remainder of the soil
in about four inches deep, then, giving
the pot a twist around, withdraw it
This leaves a hole four inches deep by
four wide. In this drop five or six
seeds, and cover to the depth of three-
fourths of an inch. Over this nlacea
pane of six-by-eight glass, pressing it
jignuy so as to nt closely, i then give
no more attention tin tne plants are
touching the glass. Then eo thromrh.
taking a small stone, raise up one end
of the glass with it; this admits of a
sufficient circulation over the plants
and hardens them. In about three
days more move the glass. By this
time they will be in the roof leaf; thin
out to three plants in a hill, draw a
Jittie nne soil around them up as high
as the seel leaf, and the work is done.

Bracken County (Ky,) Chronicle.
It is with mortification and chagrin
that we print 'thin week a retraction-of
every line, word and syllable of an artiote
that appeared in last week's issue of the
Chronicle, setting forth that "Minor Col-
vin, late shcritt ot f endleton county, Ky.,
was shot in an attempt in disguise to steal
$1,500, public money which he had re
cently collected and left in charge of his
wire,' ivc wiirlst in attendance upon the
Bracken Circuit Court at Brookaville
(supposed to beabont eighteen miles from
Falmouth, the designated place in the
artlcle.as to where the crime was commit
ted) on Tuesday, April 13, 1 heard sev
eral persons talking about the supposed
a Hair, and being an editor, and conceiv
ing it mv province, as well as duty, to in
quire into all such affairs, 1 drd so in this
instance, and gave the particulars to our
readers just as I received them, and as it
was current that day in Brookaville. It
was not unt;l our paper had been issued
that I learned that the whole was fabu
lous and intended as an April fool.. Had
1 received my information on or near the
1st of April, my suspicions might have
been aroused, but as it was, and given to
me by parties equally as innocent as my
self, I had no grounds for disbelieving it,
Mr. Colvin, the subject of this base slan
der, we understand from reliable sources,
is a man of unimpeachable reputation,
and one of the last men of Pendleton that
would be suspected of such an act. We
hope, as well as earnestly request, that
all papers publishing the article or ex
tract thereirom, will, as a special lavor
to us, as well as in justice to Mr. Colvin,
publish a retraction of the whole, and
brand it as false from beginning to end.
The Need or Orgniiiratlon.
The fact of the banding together of
capitalists,ofmerchants,nianutacturers,
miners, and of those engaged in every
other occupation will testify to the need
of a similar organizing by the farmers
of the country. .It cannot be denied
that they had some cause for this ac
tion UDon their nart. It must be ad
mitted that some of the organizations of
others were used to oppress them
llius they have organized, it may
even be called a revolution. The basis
seems to be solid, for look at the North
west where it first earned a foothold
There is not the same blaze of enthusi
asm that characterized the early days
of the order, but the glowing warmth
of the coals attest the permanence of
the institution. The great enemy of
revolutions is the zeal of its members
and the indiscretion of its leaders.
These sometimes carry it beyond the
bounds of reason, reaction sets in, and
the house tumbles with ruin upon its
builders.
While guarding against this, the
Grangers should use moderation toward
their opposers. It is but natural that
men will look with displeasure upon a
thing that threatens their welfare, but
there need be no abuse. After all,
middlemen are but exercising a desire
to get money, a complaint that but
few of us are free from. A boundless
avarice feeds upon the weaker neigh
bor.

On Tuesday night a horrible tragedy
shocked the good people of Gwinnett
county. The young son of Mr. Joel
Strickland, an estimable and respectable
citizen, was elain by a negro named How
ell. It seems from the best information
that we can get, that the boy and the ne
gro were playing a game. Tbey had up
as a wager their last dollar and their
knives. The issue of the game was
doubtful, and some scuffling ensued over
the possession or the stake, ihe negro
being the largest, jerked np one of the
knives and cut the boy s throat almost
from ear to ear. He dropped to the floor
and died in less' than two minutes. The
negro escaped and is still at large.

Perhaps in the hietory of our countr
there never was a time before the present,
when the pestilential buffalo gnats were
so bad or continued so long. Much de
struction and. damage has been done to
the stock. The cattle were driven by
them irom the range, and drew up around
the friendly smoke their owners prepared
for them, and farmers found it impracti
cable to uee their horses and mules in
plowing. The ordinary and urgent od-
erations of the farm are actually suspen
ded in many cases on account of them.

A MAGNIFICANT CONCEPTION WON
DERFULLY CARRIED OUT!-
THv necessity of a popular medium for th e
representation of the productions of our great
artists htt always been recognised, ad many
attempts bar been1 made to meet the want
The successive ftifaret wfiieh have so invariably
followed each attempt in this country to estab
lish an art journal, did not prove the Indiifea
ence of the people of America to the claims oS
high art. So soon ax a proper appreciation of
the want and an ability to meet it were shown,
thepnhlloat once rallied' with enthusiasm to
its support, and the result waa a rrest artistls
and commercial triumph THE ALDINE.
The Aldlne while issued with all of the regit
larity, hat none of the temporary or tiWj in
teresti eharacteristio of ordinary periodicals.
It It an elegant miscellany of pure, light, 'and
graceful literature, and a collection of picture,
the rarest collection of artistic skill, In- black
and white. Although each-succeeding-saaiBer"
affords a fresh pleasura to its friend'stfis- naf
valua and beauty ot The Aldlne, will be most
appreciated after it is bound up at the close oi
the year. While other publications may elala
superior cheapness, at compared with rival of
a similar class. The Aldlne it a.unkjna and
original conception alone and snapproached
absolutely without competition in priee or
character. The possessor of a complete, vol
ume cannot duplicate the quantity of fine pa
per and eiigravingi in any other shape ornum

The national feature of The AldTne must be
taken In no narrow tense. True art it cosmo
politan. -While The Aldlne is a strictly Ameri
ran institution, It does not confine itself to the
peprodoctlon of. native art. Its mission it t
cultivate a broad and appreciative art taste, on
that will discriminate on grounds of Inlrlnslo
merit. Thus, while pleadingbefore the patroua
of The Aldlne, aa a leading characteristic, tbe
productions of the most noted American artist,
attention will always be given to specimen
from foreign masters, giving subscribers all the
pleasure and Instruction obtainable from home
or foreign sources.
The artistie Illustration of American scenery,
original with. The Aldiae it aa Important fea
ture, and its .magnificent plates are of asisa
more appropriate to the satisfactory treatment,
of details than can bo afforded by any inferior
page. The judicious InteTtpersion of landscape,
marine, figure and animal subjects, sustain an
unabated interest, impossible where the seoptr
of the work'eonfines the artist too efosely to
single style of subject The literature ef Tk
Atdine it a light and graceful accompaniment,
worthy of the artistie features, with only such
technical disquisitions as do not interfere with
the popular interest of the work.
PREMIUM FOR 1875.

tiful portrait, in oil eolors, of the same noble
