The Pigeon Berry, also called 1'okc ami Garget root, is not often planted in the vegetable gardens of this coun try, still it is a valuable esculent, and dcVervcs to be more extensive cultiva- .i t ,..;n tlirivn in almost any soil icu. - - ., and maybe readily propagated by div ing the old roots or irom me seuu. The young shoots are used as a sub stitute for, or in the same manner as asparagus which they resemble id taste, The sprouts may also be cooked iii the same maimer as sea kale, or as spinach for greens. There is also an annual variety, the Phytolacca.but the former is the preferable species on ac couut of being a perennial. Rhubarb. Fall is the best time to divide large stools or clumps of roots, as the lcatcs start very caily in the spiiug. In di viding tlic stools for planting, only a singlcT crown should be set in a hill. The crowns of tho roots should bo covered some three or four inches in heavy soils and a little deeper in light. Like asparagus there is little danger of making the soil for rhubarb too rich, because tnu more rapidly the plants grow iho more succulent and tender the stems. There arc many va rieties in cultivation, but the Liinueus is now the most popular among our market gardeners, but the Colossal and Victoria arc probably equally as good, and the difference is mainly in the color of the stalks and leaves. Ca hoou's Mammoth is the largest variety known, but it is rather coarso aud not quite equal to tho former in flavor. Willow Culture. Again we notice. that there is an at tempt made to get- up a "basket wil low fever," and the old story of five millions' or mote worth of willow and willow-ware being annually imported, is going tho rounds of the press. Now as a word of caution, we suggest that before farmers or others invest heavily in willow culture, they look into the subject very carefully and matk tho difference In the price of labor in this country aud abroad, whence we ob tain the impoitcd articles. Tho cot of f riesrht acros3 the Atlantic and oth er unavoidable expenses of bringing o cr willow-ware scarcely make up for tho difference in the price of labor on tho opposite side of the big pond. "We cau raise basket willow enough in any ono of our States to supply the whole world ; there is however an "if" aud "but" in the way, which have been very troublcsomo to those who went into tho culture ot this plant in years past. . No Danger of Over-Pro auction of HogB. Tlic agricultural editor of the Iowa Stale Register maintains tho follow ing sensible conclusion: "There is no danger of over-production in hogs. As our production in creases the demand increases. The foreign trade in tho product of the hog is large and importaut, and in creasing every year. In tho year end ing November 1, 1875, wo exported of hoc product 457,186,970 pounds. For 1R7P, larkinc sixteen das. the exports were 605,658,642 pounds. Taking the whole export for this year, and allow ing 200 pounds to represent alive hog. (as much of the export was rendered lard and hams) it will be seen that our foreign trade this year has taken 3, 028,233 hogs, being at least a million more than the entire annual slaughter at Chicago. And it took 742,358 more hogs in 1876 to supply our foreign trade than it did in 1875. And there are evidences that there will bo a largely increased demand in 1877 over this question. It is understood that there is now a light stock of old pork on hand. If justice is thcieforo done the producers' pork would command as good, if not better, prices than at present, throughout tho fall and Winter." -Tenth. Annual The following proposed amend ments to tho constitution of tho Na tional Grange were adopted by a two thirds vote of the National Grange at its tenth annual session, viz: No. 1. To amend article one, section two, by inserting after the word "bal lot" tho following words: "Any fourth degree member, in good stand ing, shall be eligible to office, or to re ceive the degrees, in tho conuty, dis trict, State or National Grangc.within whoso jurisdiction such member may reside, but shall not be eligible to vote." No. 2. To amend article ouc,section tour, so as to read as follows : "Sec tion 4. There shall be an executive committee of tho National Grangc.cou sisting of three members, whose term of office shall be two years. Tho Mas ter of the National Grange shall be, ex-oflicio, a member of the executive committee, but shall not be entitled to a vote except in case of a tic." No. 3. To amend article two.scction three, by striking out tho word "an nually" and inserting in place thereof the word "biennially," and by strik ing out the words "from year to year" in said section; by sttiking out the word "annual" in article thirteen, and inserting tho word "biennial" in place thereof. This amendment shall take effect after the annual session of the National Grange to be held in the year 1877. No. 4. To amend the pieamblc un der the head of Organization State Grange, section one, by inserting after the word "matron" in the third line, tho words "provided that when the Master of a subordinate Gtange can not attend tho meeting of the State Grange, the btibordinate Grange may elect a substitute from those who arc duly qualified.' The Committee on Constitution and By-laws reported the following reso lutions: Resolved, That the secretary of the National Grange be instructed to cause to bo printed fotthwith the foregoing amendments to the constitution of the National Grange, numbered as above, and to forward, immediately, two copies thereof to the Master and sccrctarv of each State Oblige. Resolved, That 'ach proposed amendment shaU Oo considered, rati fied or rcjpc'-'d, as a distinct and sepa rate proposition. Retolvcd, That the Master of each State Grange be requested to present and submit tho foregoing proposed amendments to his State Grange, at tho next session thereof, for considera tion, ratification or rejection. Resolv cd, That tho secretary of each State Grange bo instructed to report, under cal, to the secretary of the Na tional Grange, the result of the action ot the State Giange upon such pio poscd amendments. Resolved, That when one or more of iuch proposed amendments shall have been ratified by three-fourths of the State Granges, and tho same shall have been reported to the secretary of the National Grange, the samo shall be of full force. Resolved, That the secretary of the National Grange be instructed to cause to be printed, and to forward to the Master and secretary of tho State Grange, and to tho officers and execu tive committee of the National Grange the result of such action, and to speci fy therein tlic State Granges that may have ratified each proposed amend ment. O. II. Kelly, Secretary. John T. Jones, Worthy Master. Louisville, Ky., Nov. 30, 1876. "Working Against the Fanner. It has become quite the fashion of late among a certain class of periodi cals which depend largely upon a coun try circulation for support, to tell the farmers that men engaged in other professions of industries arc his most implacable enemies. This, of course, is in unison with the oft-repeated say ing, that "tho larmer pays for all," which by the way is as far from truth as the farmer's assertion in regard to his enemies among men in other lines of business. Now there is no better grounds for assuming that the capi talist is the enemy of the agriculturist than that every farmer is the enemy of his doctor or minister. Every man, no matter what his call ing, aims to better his condition finan cially, and in doing this he is very prone to take advantage of the neces sities of others in his dealings ; aud until wo learn that it is the general practice of farmers to sell hay for five per ton when the market price is ten, we shallbelieve they arc like other men and take all they can get for whatever they have to sell. "But," says the farmer who resides hundreds of miles from our seaboard cities, "do not the railroads combine and charge exorbi tant rates for carryiug our produce to market?" True to the letter; but what was or what would your farm produce be worth without the railroads ? Then, would it not bo well to ascertain just how much the capitalists, who fur nished the money to construct aud equip these very roads which you now denounce in no unmeasured terms, made on their investment ? Just look up some of tho original investor in your nearest road and let them answer; for if railroad building is half as safe paiuga business as farming, then our eyes have becu grossly deceiving us all thiough life. Tho capitalists who put a road through a country, expect to make money on their investment, a right which every reasonable man will con cede is their just due, aud the chang ing of rates to secure this or eveu more cannot be construed into enmity to tho former or others who may desire to use tho facilities offered for the transportation of various articles over the Hue. There is no compulsion in this matter of transportation, aud if the farmers hi Alleghany Co.,N. Y. or elsewhere do not care to pay the exor bitant rates charged for taking his pro duce to market, the country roads are open to him aud ho can haul it with his own team, just as he or his father did thirty years ago. "We have lived loug enough to expe rience some of the changes mado in theso matters duiing tho last quarter of a century or more, and although there is doubtless some extortion oh the part of transportation companies, we should uot.like to go back to the days of twelve cents a pound for but ter, (and take it in trade at that,) six cents a dozen for eggs, and other farm produce at similar prircs all because there was no cheap and ready means for transporting them to a distant and better market. Rural iVcw Yorker. Jlr. John Greenfield brought autl sold in Sabctba, the other day, five hogs, six'months old, which kicked tho beam at 1,396 pounds. If any ono can beat that please report. Fredeiick Behr, a German, living at Junction Citv. met his death ou the 9th by falling from lrts horse and frac turing the base of his skull. Ho was a volunteer in the late war.
