and earnestly urge thcin to act upon
it at once :
"Resolved, Tmt all the S'nte and
Subordinate Grang's be advised to
have their respective Granges incor

of their several States."
15 iiuls given to Granges which are
not incorporated, are worthless in

TALL PLOWING AS AS OPE.V QL'ESTIO.V.
Fall plowing has been almo t a8
generally and persistent ly discussed
hs deep and nhallow plowing, And the
atrriculluriil doctors who Iihvc so de
cidedly disagreed on tho subject, have
left the question rather more unset
tled thou when they essayed lo settle
it, ond the poor farmer is still in tl o
daik. The way to get light is to fall
back on common sense, supported by
cirelul experiments. What tiro the
supposed advantages of fall plowing?
1. It tu.-ns under and covers, if prop
erly done, tlie grass, weeds and other
triisli Which h8 nceutnulatcd on Iho
f-urfacrt, putting the whole into a po
sition to become thoroughly digested
and prepared for the sustenance of
ihe spring crop instead of being
blown off and lodged in the fence
corners. 2. It opens tha soil to tho
disintegrating ond Ameliorating in
fluences ol frost, which rendei it more
permeable to water ond Iho fertilizing
gasses. 3. It may often So dono
when other work is not pressing, and
thereby lighten iho 1 bor oT prepara
tion in the rpring, when It is im port
end to lot ward ihe operations 'of the
season as quickly as possible. Now,
when the question of fall plowing
'ernes up, we must bear the points in
m:nd, and nk ourselves whether, in
the pArticuhir case presented, is it de
sirable and practicable to promote
the objects specified, or either of
therti, and if their attainment will bo
worth the expense of tho work ? If
so, let ns plow by all means. Bat if,
on the contra, y, there be little or no
vegetable matte on the surface to
turn under, which, however, is seldom
the case, the first named advantage
would be lost : if our soil be already
too loose and friable, and esjiecially
if liable to wash, we should not de
siro to increase that evil ; or if it con
sist ol that kind of clay which a sin
gle rain will melt again into a solid
mass, our lalior in breaking it hp
would be lost ; and fall plowing
would le a piece of ntter lolly.
Much deiends on tl.e Master In if j
Grange. He should be a progres-ivc,
reeding, thinking, active man. He
should lead as an officer, aod have
his sng,'estioo ma'tored and sound,
and then he will have tho confidence
of the members. Let tho Masters
wake up to the importance of their
position, aud be prepaied for any
emergency. Sou I hern A grieul lurist.

"Justice to farmers" was the err so

which tho bloated monopolist could

tho laboring classes" came in plain
tive tot.es from multitudes ol sad but
eainest souls. And these were the
ends lo be secured. So when a new
and uncorrupted class of men and wo
men stepped to the front and dared
lo grapple with questions relating
to this great relbim, many of you did
not stop to reason further nor talk
about chibboleihs, and dogmas, add

Tho above Resolutions, commend
themselves to the earnest and imme
diate attention of every Giange
'hroughout the State, aud each Pat-
i should realize the importance of
the rueusure, and respond promptly
and liberally to the call. The great
need of Mississippi is immigration,
and lo secure this we must offer some
of ihe many inducements we have,
which can be easily done without nny
serious sacrifice on the part of our
people. Let the Couniy Granges
take immediate notice of this import
ant matter and report as toon as pos

Grange Benefits
Many outsiders seem to think that
tho Granges are founded onlv upon
pecuniary selfuhness ; that they aro
a combination created for tho solrt
purpose of cheapening lea, coffeo and
sugar, and of ra(3i'ng the price of
wheat, corn and potatoes Thi in
not exactly true. There is no doubt
but that a desire to moko farming
pay better had very much to do in
the founding of the Ord. r. and that
thus far much of tho time and encriry
of tho several Granges has i ecu de
voted to the question of prices. And
there is no doqbt but that tho pecun
iary phase of the question hos had a
great deal to do in bringing in mem
bers, mid satisfying theiii whil in.
Still, there Ims been much already ac
complished, and there is much more
among (he possibilities of the luturo
awaiting the Patiei-, that is not con-,
neeied with dollaraaad cents. The
Patrons art 'itftt'rr. agnot o-.ly ho .v to
make more money, but fiov to sivn 1
it in a more sensible manner They
are learning that they have brains
that need improvement, ns well as
farms. The grange enables them to
meet each other, compare notes, dis
cuss questions pertaining to govern
ment as well as grain ; and to sharp
en op their intellects by neighborly
friction- The grango furnishes, or
ought to Inrnisb them with books,
and the discussion on subjects of in
terest ought to give them a taste for
reading them. The social phase td
the order is one of its chief attrac
tions and benefits. It give a place
and motive for neighborly meetings.
It give? the farmers wife on excuse
for slipping down from Iier home

out Ihe kinks from tier hair, donning

sisters in nCliclion. Sho goes home
to her usual toil, refreshed in body
and encouraged in soul. It makes
better, more social and more harmo

many of those little vexations and
unnecessary law suits that do nobody

that it is a trap laid to draw the Pa

to politics which he respectfullir de
