other without magnesia; another, with

the 8ame crop upon these different plats

raised. The perfect crop will of course
be upon the plat manured with the com

exceeds the cropTaised on the plat ma

it shows that the soil needs ni

perfect crop, it shows that the soil needs
no minerals, and so on. By means of
this comparison what fertilizing constit
uents are required by the soil can be ac
curately ascertained, and all that is nec

II„w to Analyze Soils Through the
Agency of Plants-
******
If there i-one science wc know less
about and oughf to know more ab ut
th to any other, it is the science of
Agriculture. And it is a lamentable
fact that but little improvement is being
made in this substratum of the world’s
wealth aud prosperity. The reason is
plain The liability to loss and the
number of years it takes to make t bs. r-
v ttions to test improvements indispose
the planter to vary in his system oi ag
riculture, and hctiee each successive
year littds him following the same old
beaten track.
Skill iti agriculture is only acquired
by experiment, and very little by expe
rience. Experience, it must bereme.it
b. red. is the mere observation of cer
tain natural phenomena, while in exper
iment the phenomena are made to be
observed. But experiments to be sue
cessful nlust be made wi h a view to
general principles, and must be made
w-th intelligence. A blinded experi
ment bears always fa there for its truit.
One of. the maiii reasons given by
the energetic and intelligent farmer for
n t experimenting m 're. is that he can-
mt obtain a correct analysis of'his soil,
and hence all h?s manuring is but guess
work.
I propose in this paper to show how
soils may be analyzed through tjie agen
cy of growing crops—the process so
well known to the Scientific Agricultu
ral world. This method has three rea
sons for being preferred tea mere chem
ical analysis ; 1st. because it is simple;
2nd, it is more reliable >»d better for
practical purposes, and 3rd, it is cheap
er The difficulty in a chemical analy
sis of soils is that these substances that
are specially ncedtd 1'ct manures exist in
so small quantities, that it is impossible
to make anywhereroear a correct analy
sis without a very large quantity of
earth. And another difficulty is there
may be a very large quantity of a cer-
iiia substance which stay be discovered
1
needs to make cotton, and the same
knowledge you acquire with reference
to corn, if corn is the plant used. Thus
it is seen that a double analysis, so to
speak, is made by the same process.
That i&, you can ascertain the fertilizing
elements lacking in the soil, and also
the constituent elements of- each partic
ular plant used in the analysis.
Some soils may have every fertilizing
element for plant, growth, and hence
from chemical analysis would be pro
nounced a perfect soil, and yet some one
or more of those elements may be in
such an insoluable state as to be una
vailable to the plant, and therefore en
tirely useless. The chemist may detect
in other soils plant substances that are
in excess of others, and yet those that
are hardly traceable may be more bene
ficial to the plant than those in excess,
which may be unavoidable, A chemi
cal analysis of soil is rarely correct, a
plant analysis is always correct.
In conclusion. I wi.uldmaki this, gen
eral remark. That the amount of the
crop depends upon the minimum quan
tity that the plant needs; or in other
words, that if the soil h is but a small
quantity «>f a certain substance that the
crop needs, its amount will depend up' n
this substance rather tnan upon the lar
ger amount of the other substances that
the soil has, and of which the plant wili

• In response your kind invitation
to publish a few thoughts in your valu
able paper, explanatory of the nature
and aims of the Order of Patrons of
Husbandly, I deem it necessary to oc
cupy but a small space in your valuable
columns.
The Order has but very recently been
brought promptly before the planters of
our State, as our State Grange was or
ganized in April last, with a member
ship of sixteen subordinate Granges.
From its inception, however, its
march has been steadily onward, en
folding within its embrace almost every
planter who has been made properly to
comprehend its benificent plans and de
signs.
And how could it be otherwise ?
In almost every other line of bnsiness.
conducted upon an expensive scale, as
sociated action for the mutual interest
of cliques, rings and moneyed interests,
has ever been patent to the mind of the
most superficial observer; and the ap
parent design of these associations has
been to wrest from the tillers of the soil
the legitimate fruits of their daily toil.
The depressed condition of thi farm
ing interests of the South and Wpst.
shows that they are p-o?trated under
the weight of some fearful incubus that
keeps them fettered to toe ground
The provisions of the Western pro
ducer is unmeasured abundance, offered
a revenue scaicely sufficient to cover
his taxes.
Hundreds of millions of dollars worth
of cotton annually produced at the
S lUtb at the closing of each year’s ope
rations. finds the planter more and more
•impoverished.
Why this anomalous state of things ?
* The railroad interests combine to put
such a prohibatory tariff upon the trans
portation of the Western producer’s
corn as to force him to c -nsume it fir
fuel, as an item of economy
The Wall Street brokers unite their
immense moneyed capital for the de
pression of the price of c tier, un iitbe
Ittter passes out of the hands of the pro
ducer, and is held firmly within the
grasp of the speculator.
T he consequence is that the middle
men and brokers accumulate co2 .es .!
fortunes, while the tillers of the s il.
who brave the winter’s freezing blasts
the summer's sweltering heat and the
mophitic exhalations from the swamps,
are compelled to mumble the crumbs
that fall from the tables of th'jte who
fare sumptuously every day. And \vh< m
shall we blame ior our position as pen
sioners upon the bounty of our superi-
What we ueed for the development of
cur resources, are wise concert of action,
snd intelligent combination for mutual
protection and mutual progt.
Now. this ideal phantom which has
so long pervaded the minds of multi
tudes, finds an emb idiment electrified
with herculean strength, in the Order
of the Patrons of Husbandry; the off
spring of necessity, an infant in age,yet
a giaiit in influence and power.
The object of this Association is to
elevate the planter socially, intellectual
ly and financially.
The planter, by education and habit,
is d s oclal—his daily routine of busi
ness demands his personal supervision
of his laborers, and the diuterual man
agement of his farm.
When the day closSS, he soeks, in
sleep, repose from its lcbors. *
From long hsbit and the tutelege of
Ilia fathers, he is firmly impressed with
the convietioti that his method of con
ducting his business is superior to that
of his neighb .ra.
He feels not the necessity for assist
ance, and consequently d -es nut seek it.
This routine of business c intinues from
week'to week, and from year to year;
and the tendency of his occupation is to
contract hh habits of thought, and to a
mistaken feeling of independence, which
tends to isolation and disregard of those
agencies arising from at.rition of ideas
that leads to progress and reform.
Now, at the monthly re-uni ns of the
members of a Grange, they are brought
into friendly association. . The bonds til
fraternity, which unites them as with
band* of iron, and the application of
which is “as gentle as-a silken thread
that binds a wreath of flowers,” infuses
a spirit of mutual friendship and sym
pathy, in all that concerns the welfare
of one another Unity of sentiment and
unity of interest inspire unity of action
with mutual confidence. The elevated
Code of morals recognized in our gov
ernment, tends to s .(ten the asperities
of our natural instincts, to caltivite in
U3 sentiments of benevolence and char
ity towards all men, and to impress us
with a sense ci our mutual d pender.ee
and obligations, to extend to one aoeth
or our sympathy and assistance, in times
of sickness and adversity, and our con
gratulation* in seasons of prosperity and
j 7-
We are also taught that as cultivators
of the earth, while we reap the golden
harvest that springs from her ever vrii-
mugic influence of woman. Her puri
ty of thonght and life, her innate sense
of justice, and her natural pre-science
in reading human character, and intni
tively arriving at true and just concltt
sions, apparently without any interme
diate steps of mental effort render her
a powerful help meat in this union for
mutual protection and advancement.
She is an integral portion of the organ
ization, and not a mere silent spectator
of passing events and her influence is
for good and conservatism
The financial benefits arising from co
operation among planters, will probably
be regarded by many as the benefit par
excellence The iron mongers, the men
uficturers. and the merchant* demand a
definite price for their wares and the
Railroads a voluntary tariff upon the
transportation of passengers and freight

enables them to enforce their demands,
The planter upon whom-ali these va
rious corporations and compauiesare de
pendent for their existence, is' not at
lowed to pat a price upon his cotton
biit meekly takes what is offered him.
All of these articles consumed upon his
firm pass through several intermediate
agencies after leaving the manufacturer
before they reach him. Each agent, in
h a turn, p .ckets his bonus for hand
ling, and the farmer foots up the bills.
Now the object of our Association is
11 bring the producer and manufacturer
indirect communieatiin. It is true
to.it no individual planter can raise cut-
t -n sufficient to induce direct inter-
c immunicotioh. but, by combination and
union of effort among different Granges,
this object can be accomplished, and
the profits which now inflate the pock
ets of middle men will stop many a leak
that has so effectually drained thefinan-
cies of the plauter. Again, the im
mense. patronage which so controlled by
the Patrons, enables them to negotiate
transactions with dea l?rs in groceries,
and manufacturers of mechanical im
plements, wagons &c., at the 1 .>west pcs
sifcle.prices at which such products and
articles of manufacture can be sold. In
deed a deduction of 15 to 25 per cent,
from ordinary rates, has been offered to
the Patrons.
Not an insignificant item in the sav
ing of expenses in the great reduction
in rates of transportation of freight
made by our Railroads ia favor of our
Order. *
In some instances it is said to amount
ors in mental acumen, and every cora
tion sense ? .
They have the right to employ their
intellects and their m cey for their own
aggrandizement, so long as they keep
within the bounds of honesty and truth.
If we foolishly recline our heads up n
the lap of ignorance and indolence, and
sleep while others are working, we titfy
rest-assured th.it our locks will be shorn
and, like the Nazarite of ancient times,
we will awake to find ourselves helpless
and poverty stricken.
The magic wand that converts every
thing that it tf uches into gold is, oo
operative combination for the accom
plishment of the end to be attained. Tn
every other department of business but
that of the agriculturist, this almt st nm-
n potent agency is pr perly appreciated
and skillfully applied.

The 8aintly After Beast Bailor.
The anti-Butler, white-cravated,
drab-gaitered Radicals of Massachu
setts are utterly horrified at the pros
pects of Beast Butler, who has serv
ed them so faithfully iu their malig
nant crusade against the Soutben
people, being elected Governor of
that State. On Friday last, they
held a convention in Bostou in which
several prominent leaders of the par
ty, including Judge Hoar, late of
the pre.-id nt’s Cabinent, participat
ed, and adopted resolutions declar
ing it wouldn't do at all to let any
‘salary-grabber’ be so honored, by
the party of great moral ideas. They
,i l not denounce the Beast by name,
but there was very little concealment
in the resolutions to whom they were
directed against. The object of the
meeting and the resolutions was to
defeat Butler's nomination by the
Radical Convention which is shortly
to meet, and which, with th’e aid of
the Administration—which is openly
exertiug all its influence in bis lavor
—they fear he will be able to control.
This is truly ungrateful treatment of
the representative man of Massachu-
etts Radicalism, one who has done
more to carry out their revolutiona-
ry, aggressive, and vindictive policy,
to wreak their pioas vengeance upon
the South, than any man in their
ranks. If there is a man in Massa
chusetts who, as a relentless and un
scrupulous representative ot the par
ty of moral ideas, deserves the sup
port of that party for the chiei mag-
stracy ol the commonwealth, ft is
Beast Butler, who, if he should be
defeated iu his present aspirations,
may justly declaim against the in
gratitude of Republicans.
But we will say no more on the
object lest our seeming advocacy of
his claims may injure his prospects
of success. If Butler could get it
into the heads ol his party that his
defeat would be gratifying to the
people of the South, .his election
would be assured.—Sav. News.

Stimulated by a ootmotion of the

deed, sometimes talk of untimely
deaths of young Christina*, removed
too early from spheres of usefulness,
as if the Omniscent Husbandman
did not, know when His immortal

Sent Home.
A Washington paper? tells of an
elegantly dressed young lady who
went into one of the dry good&stores
on Pennsylvania avenue, bought a
spo 1 of cotton and i equeeted the
proprietor to have it sent home.
Overwhelmed with the important
duty so.suddenly, thrust upon him,
he immediately procured an express
wagon and detailed a clerk, who lilt
ing the spool into the wagon, drove
with it to the residence of the young
lady and dismounting, rang the bell,
and when the door was opened,plac
ed the spool upon bis shoulder -and
carried It into the hall, and gently
placed it on its end, as if it had been
a barrel of flour, and then retired.
The consternation of the family can
be imagined. The head of the house'
has been dodging in and out of the
dry goods store during the past week
trying to find that clerk.
