National Lecturer, A. B, Smedler, at
Calhoun.
A VISIT TO GOV. JOS. E. BROWN’S SPLEN
DID FAEM.
[From the Georgia Grange.]
On Thursday, the Ist of June, in
company with the Commissioner of
Agriculture, Dr. T. P. Janes, we started
from Atlanta on the early morning
tram for Calhoun, Gordon county. The
morning was damp, and in that par
ticular unpleasant, but the country
through which we traveled is beautiful,
and the railroad in splendid condition.
The crops of corn, oats, wheat, clover,
and cotton all looked well, saving rust
on the wheat, which will, no doubt, in
jure it somewhat.
On our arrival at Calhoun, we met
with Col. A. B Smedley, the Lecturer
of the National Grange, whose appoint
ments we had published in The Georgia
-Grange previously. We met also (Jiat
indefatigable worker and Master of the
Grange at Calhoun, brother Rolf. We
had quite a pleasant conversation with
—brother Smedley for two or three hours
at the Calhoun hotel, during which time
the rain poured in torrents. At 12 m.
the accommodation train from Atlanta
arrived, bringing ex-Governor Brown
and his lady, also Gen. W. T. Wofford
and several others. At 2 o’clock, we
all repaired to the court-house; and not
withstanding the unpleasant day, a
goodly number of the Patrons and cit
izens were present to hear the lecture.
The meeting was called to order by
brother A. Roff, Master of Calhoun
Grange.
The Grange choir dispensed the
sweetest music we have ever heard in a
Grange. Prayer was then offered;
after which Governor Brown introduced
the speaker in some practical and per
tinent remarks, in which he stated that
he was in full sympathy with the
’ Grange movement, and felt that it was
destined to work out good results for
the farmers of the country,
a. Brother Smedley, in an exceedingly
interesting lecture of perhaps an hour
and twenty minutes, gave us much in
sight into the good which had resulted
from the orgaization of the Order of
the Patrons of Husbandry.
He pointed out many difficulties
“ which would have to be met and over
come, and stated that if any person
had joined the Order for no other pur
pose than to speculate or make money,
the sooner that member withdrew from
the Order the better for him and the
Grange.
We hope the Worthy Lecturer will
great good during his short
I stay in Georgia.
In the afternoon, according to pre*
[ vious appointment, Gov. Brown and
r his lady and son, Dr. Janes, Gen. Wof
ford and the writer went out to Gov.
Brown’s plantation, some seven miles
from Calhoun.
This magnifi cent plantation lies on
both sides of the Coosawattee river,
one of the branches of the Oostenaula
river. He has on this place, an area
of one and one-half miles square, and,
in our judgment, it is one of the finest
plantations in the State. The place
has five hundred acres it, river bottom
land, all now in the highest state of
cultivation. The Governor has this
land in corn, wheat, oats, clover, and a
few acres in cotton. The wheat is not
as good as the land would indicate,
owing to the great amount of rain
which has fallen this spring. The
oats and clover are superior to any
thing we have seen this season.
The Governor raises everything to
satisfy the inner man. He has cat
tle, hogs, sheep, mules, horses, geese,
turkeys and chickens, in the greatest
abundance, all of his own raising. The
finest mutton we have eaten in years,
we partook of at his table on our visit,
and we will say nothing about the fine
turkey, butter, milk, etc.
All of his stock is of the very best
breeds that can be found in the coun
try. We saw, in one of his clover
fields, fifteen colts, fine and sleek.
The Governor has made sheep-rais-
I ing a success. Five years ago he pur
chased ten head; from that number he
has sold forty-three, killed for his own
use over twenty, and we counted seven
ty-three still in the flock. He has
sold one hundred dollars worth of
wool. He tells us that the sheep has cost
him scarcely anything for feed and at
tention. We would be glad to say
more on this subject, but have length-
I ened out this article too long already.
Mrs. Brown, like her husband, is
; sensible and practicable, and the young
i? women of the country could derive
| much valuable information from her
; society.
We were delighted with our visit to
$ Gov. Brown’s Egypt.
Cotton,
In 1860, England received from the
| United States, 1,115,879,608 pounds of
| cotton, and from all other sources, 275,-
1480,144 pounds.
In 1872, only 625,000,080 pounds
| entered her ports, and 783,237,392
I pounds were purchased from other
I countries. All this is ascribed to the
1 sagacity displayed in the improvement
of the internal transportation of her dis
tant Asiatic colonies. Four hundred
millions of dollars were expended for
that purpose, the interest of which
(only four per cent.) is guaranteed by
Government.
The startling announcement is also
THE CHRISTIAN INDEX AND SOTJTH-V WESTERN BAPTIST.
made, that India sells more cotton in the
European markets than we do, and is
actually beginning to export the staple
to America. In 1874, 3,625,830
pounds of raw cotton were imported
into the United States from China and
the East Indies, worth one million of
dollars. The cure for this, it is con
tended, is not to plant less cotton, but
to raise it cheaper. And this can be ac
complished only, by following the ex
ample of our rivals, and reducing the
price of labor and food, and cost of
transportation, by improving the in
ternal navigation of the country.
The Harlequin Cabbage Bug,
This terrible scourge to the growers
of cabbages is, in some sections, already
doing great mischief. It is mentioned
by Mr. Townsend Glover, entomologist
to the United States Agricultural De
partment at Washington, in the annual
report for 1867, page 71, and for 1870,
page 90, and designated as strachia his
trionycha. He says : “ The female de
posits her eggs in March and April, in
two rows, cemented together, mostly on
the underside of the leaf, and gen
erally ten to twelve in number. * #
About sixteen to eighteen days elapse
from the deposition of the eggs to the
perfect development of the perfect in
sect. A second brood appears in July,
which probably hybernates in sheltered
places.”
Mr. Glover recommends that early in
the spring, the bugs which have hyber
nated, be searched for, under bark,
heaps of stones or rubbish, and Killed
before they lay any eggs. He specially
recommends making small heaps of
refuse vegetables—such as weeds, dead
vines, cabbage stalks, etc., in the fall,
for them to shelter in during the
winter, and in the spring, before they
come out from their winter quarters,
to build fires on the rubbish heaps and
thus kill all of them.
If any of the readers of The Grange
are troubled with these great pests, we
will be glad to have them follow this
latter advice, aud report the result to
us next year. If any one concludes to
make this test, it would be well to
commence making the rubbish heaps ,'u
August, and not allow them to be dis
turbed till the fire is applied next spring.
A practical farmer residing near At
lanta, informs us that he has succeeded
in ridding his cabbages of all manner
of insects, by sprinkling them tho
roughly with a solution of aloes. Take
half an ounce of gum aloes, powder it
as finely as you can, then put two tea
spoonfuls of common cooking soda into
the powdered aloes and mix well, then
pour on it a quart of boiling water and
stir it, briskly a few minutes. The best
way to sprinkle the cabbage is to apply
it with a syringe or “ squirt gun,” as
the boys denominate their spring toy
made of cane or elder joints.
We do not know anything more of
the value of this remedy, than what we
were informed as above stated; but we
would be glad to have several of our
readers make an experiment of it, and
report to us the results.
A remedy for the ravages of the in
sects that prey upon cabbages—es
pecially the harlequin bng—will be
worth thousands of dollars to the
farmers of Georgia, and is worth seek
ing after.
Last week we published a short
not from Mr. Wesley Taylor, of Talia
ferro county, stating that he had four
bunches of oats, having respectively,
212, 175, 162 and 159 stalks from one
seed.
There are now on exhibition in the
State Department of Agriculture, two
bunches of oats—one raised by Mr. J.
S. Newman,of Hancock county, having
178 stalks, and the other by William
J. Albritton, of Fulton county, having
237 stalks, each from one seed. Both
bunches are of the winter grazing va
riety.
The value of this kind of oats is not
as well understood, by our farmers as
it should be.
Co-operation in Germany. Co
operation in Germany receives the sup
port of all classes, and is giving splen
did results. The system is increasing
even more rapidly than in England,
although it differs from the English
system in that there is less disposition
to accumulate dividends—immediate
profit is what is sought in Germany.
A large amount of trade is done on the
ticket plan, by which the members re
ceive a certain discount from merchants
to whom they give their custom. The
chief difference, however, has been in
the fact that the Germans, and other
continental co-operators, have given
their attention largely to co-operative
banking, in which they have many mil
lions invested. The results of co
operative banking have everywhere
been successful.
Wages in Germany and the
United States. —The wages of farm
laborers in Germany is, per day, for
experienced hands in summer, sixtv
five cents ; in winter, sixty cents; ordi
nary hands in summer, sixty cents ; in
winter, fifty-seven cents. Female ser
vants receive, per month, one dollar
and seventy cents, and board. It
must, however, be remembered that
the purchasing power of a dollar in
Germany is about, doub'o of that power
in this country ; that is, you can get
the same amount of necessaries or of
luxuries in that country for half the
price of them in this country ; hence
the difference in wages is not so great
as it seems to be at first sight.

Consumption Can be Cured.
AFTER being pronounced in a hopeless stage
of consumption by an eminent physician of
Montgomery, Alabama, in 1855, I made appli
cation to an old and experienced doctor that
made that disease a specialty, aud cured nine
out of ten of all the cases lie treated, and after
adopting his treatment, I soon recovered, and,
having a relapse in the army in 1862, was sent
home to die with phthisis pulmonalis, but soon
recovered, after being able to get the proper
treatment, and, after repoated trials upon oth
ers, I am convinced that this treatment will cure
nine out of ten of all that will avail themselves
of it in duo time, and, as I wisli to retire from
the practice of medicine, I will send the necessa
ry instructions so any one can use it thomsolves
for #lO, or if proforrod, will send the medicine
with directions, sufficient to cure for #25.
