There are many curious facts about
vegetable life. We can, for example,
graft the apricot on the plum, and the
peach on the apricot, and the almond
on the peach, and thus we may pro
duce a tree with plum-roots and al
mond-leaves. The wood, however, ot
the stem will consist of four distinct va
rieties, though formed from one con
tinuous layer. Below the almond
wood and bark we shall have perfect
peach-wood and bark, then perfect
apricot-wood and bark, and the bot
tom plum-wood and bark. In this cu
rious instance we see the intimate cor
respondence between the bark and the
leaf, for if we should remove the al
mond-branches we might cause the
several sorts of wood to develop buds
and leafy twigs each of its own kind.
Each section of the compound stem has
its seat of life in the cambium layer,
and the cambium of each reproduces
cells of its own species out of a com
mon nutrient fluid.
Sow Oats Now I —Let us entreat our
Brotherhood to begin now to supple
ment short corn crops. The terrible
suns have cut short your supply of
corn for another year. Go to work,
and sow oats in your cotton fields for
early pastures in winter. Many of you
will not have “laid by” your cotton
fields, ere this article is read. Select
fields you design resting another year.
Go before your plows, sow your oats or
rye to be swept in by them. Let your
cotton open, and pickers trample down
the young grain ; it will do it no harm.
By Ist January luxuriant pastures will
more than repay your toil. Where
you intend the fields to rest, go in Feb
ruary, pull up cotton stalks, and you
may save oats for your barns. We will
go further, and advise planters who
have just finished “laying by,” to go
and sow your grain just as if you el
ected to plow it in. it alone, and
see what our willing mother earth will
do for it. Never mind the birds
ither. Sow good stands, and rest sat
isfied you will be repaid.
The writer has sown oats August
20th, on dry fields, thinking it would
rain that very day, or soon thereafter,
when the oats would be plowed in by
sweeps. The dust ou that field was
not laid till October 13th following.
Os course, we thought the oats aban
doned to birds and rottenness. We
gathered a splendid crop of cotton
from the field; the oats came up in
October, and a luxuriant pasture in
February was the result. We believe
like results from rye or oats may be
obtained, by sowing our corn fields, as
soon as corn is gathered, and let the
stock trample in the seed. This expe
rience is urgently commended to plant
ers, that bread bills, on time and long
(oh! how long) commissions, may be
be avoided for 1875.
Machinery—Geo. A. Barnard.—
Patrons in want of first-class machin
ery, of any kind, and at the very low
est prices, should apply to George A.

—The progress of reform in agricul

a perfect blaze of enthusiasm among
farmers,and change a bare and forlorn
hope into a living reality. Nor is Geor

THE GEORGIA GRANGE.
For The Grange. I
Grange Picnic at Port Valley.
AN INTERESTING TIME, ETC.
Fort Valley, Ga., July 21, 1875.
Gentlemen —According to a pub
lished programme, our picnic, given for
the reception of Gen. A. H. Colquitt,
on the 14th ult., came off. The General
was received at the depot with appro
priate ceremonies, and from thence coil
veyed to the speaker’s stand in the
grove, near the Methodist church, where
he was introduced to his audience. He
made a most favorable impression. I
wish I could give you an outline of his
well-timed and instructive speech. His
words were fluent; full of the best ad
vice ; they were meant for everybody,
but more particularly for farmers. I
was reminded of what a writer once
said of an ancient orator, “ that he
handled bis subject so well, and made
it so plain and simple, that his com
monest hearers were wont to say ‘ I
could have said as much myself.’ ”
Would that every public speaker in the
land, could lose sight of themselves,
and talk for the good of their hearers,
as General Colquitt did on this occa
sion. The mass of the people are
tired of listening to buncomb speeches :
they perish with the uttering.
The picnic was gotten up by Flint
River Grange No. 162, and surround
ing Granges, and citizens generally,
invited to aid and participate. I don’t
know of but few, however, outside of
the Grangers and their immediate con
nections, who took an active part in
providing for the occasion. I suppose
there were some fears of giving an im
petus to the Grange spirit, since our
distinguished visitor came in the in
terests of the order. Notwithstanding
all this, the day was made a success,
and a plenty of good things for the
inner man graced the table. Before
quitting this subject, I’ll mention that
the speaker in the course of his re
marks drew a picture of the many half
cultivated farms,neglected farm-houses,
empty smoke-houses, corn cribs, etc.
He said he was not showing up the sit
uation of Houston, as he did not know
the condition of her people. If it were
not for saving the blushes of our citi
zens, I would say that he never drew a
better life-picture, but I’ll forbear.
NOTES.
All sorts of crops, up to this time,
have been promising, considering the
lateness of the spring season. Just at
this time we are in the midst of dry
and very hot weather, and unless we
have rain soon, there is no telling the
amount of damage that may occur to
crops. We are working to put on
foot our Warehouse and Supply store by
October ; hope we may be abundantly
successful, although we have to contend
against much opposition, and strange
to say, some of the farmers not con
nected with our Order, throw stumbling
blocks in the way. They have been so
accustomed to other people doing their
business for them, that they imagine
they cannot attend to it themselves.
They have balanced their pumpkin with
a brickbat in the past, and I suppose
they intend to do it in the future.
Yours fraternally, Granger.

—The Perry Journal reports that
“ several planters have reported num
bers of cotton flies in their fields, and
the ravages of the worm may be expec
ted soon. Signs of the boll worm have
also been noticed in several parts of
Houston county.”
—The section around Jessup, al
though the drought has deen very
severe, hopes to make an average
crop.
—The Early county Ne says : The
Albany Nev'B puts down the corn crop,
within its journalistic dominions, at
sixty per cent, on last year’s yield.
From what we know of this county we
suppose this to be a fair estimate for
Southwestern Georgia.
—The Rome Courier of the 7th says :
We have made diligent inquiry from
the farmers from all sections of the
Cherokee country, and with but few ex
ceptions we have received the most
gratifying report as to the condition
and prospects of the growing crops.
There has not been such a prospect
for an abundant yield of corn in many
years.
—The Columbus Enquirer says:
Spite of all the rumors of drought,
shedding, etc., we heard a warehouse
man say the other day, that he would
bet a hundred dollars, or any amount
upwards, that Columbus would receive
at least 55,000 bales the coming season,
and could find no takes among the
low estimate men. We are going to
receive more cotton than many dream
of.
—Houston Home Journal of 7th inst.
savs : Crops have not suffered materi
ally for rain of late. Corn is rather
above average in condition. Cotton
is only tolerable good, and some signs
of rust in several fields is causing some
alarm.
—The Hamilton Visitor says : Esq.
Jenkins and Capt. Roberts, who are
good farmers, and planted largely, say
their corn crops are not worth gather
ing. In the center and upper part of the
district the crops are a little better,
but not more than one-fourth of a crop
can be counted on.
With the present prospects, there
will not be corn enough made in Ca
tania district to feed the stock until
Christmas.
Despondency, if allowed unchecked, will often
produce a morbid condition, bo that the least un
satisfactory affair that happens will swell into
terrifying proporitons. The mind being warped
often imparts torpidity to the body, all of which
more frequently is the effect of inaction of the
liver than any other cause, and by resorting to
Simmons’ Liver Regulator the mind will often
find relief with the body.

To Secretaries of Subordinate Granges :
Your special attention is called to the second
section, article seventh, of the amended Consti
tution of the National Grange, which is as fol
lows :
“The Secretary of each subordinate Grange
shall report quarterly to the Secretary of the
State Grange the names of the persons initiated
during the quarter, and pay to the Secretary of
the State Grange one dollar for each man, and
fifty cents for each woman, initiated during the
quarter ; also, a quarterly due of six cents for
each member. Said report to be approved and
forwarded at the first session of the Grange in
each quarter.”
It will be understood by this provision, that
the reports heretofore required from Treasurers
of subordinate Granges to the Secretary of the
State Grange, are dispensed with; and hereafter
the Secretaries will maxe the reports, and pay
the dues.
In some of the Granges they have failed to
report, and pay quarterly dues for members who
are delinquent in the payment of their monthly
dues. This is wrong. So long as they are rec
ognized as members, and their names retained
on the roll, the Grange is responsible, and must
pay quarterly dues for them.
To the Brotherhood of Georgia;
Fully appreciating the stern necessity of build
ing up and sustaining our adopted organ—The
Georgia Grange—we have appointed active
agents to canvass our Granges in the interest of
this and our other Grange enterprises. As an
Order, there are momentous issues upon us.
The enemies of prosperous agriculture are de
riding and misrepresenting us. Lukewarm and
inattentive members are asking, “What is our
Order accomplishing in Georgia ; what in sister
States ?” Through the columns of our organ,
only, can you be informed.
Fellow-Patrons, let us exhort you to read and
think more, for thus, alone, can the facilities af
forded by our noble Order, for the accomplish
ment of its aims and objects, be properly prose
cuted.
As early as the programme of appointments
can be properly arranged, it will be announced
in The Georgia Grange.

Endorsements of the People's Remedy.
When skillful and cautious medical men give
over their own signatures a favorable opiniion
of the soothing and vitalizing effects of a prepa
ration, the public does not hesitate to believe
them. The voluminous and emphatic profes
sional testimony in favor of Hostetter’s Stom
ach Bitters, as a specific fcr all disorders of the
stomach and bowels, for fiver complaint, inter
mittent and remittent fevers, and the thousand
ills that wait upon dyspepsia, must convince the
most skeptical. Aside, however, from the testi
mony of the faculty, there is a large mass of ev
idence from patients in every walk of life, all
showing that this great preventive and restora
tive is of inestimable value to the sick and the
debilitated. The Bitters are suited to all cli
mates, and are universally endorsed as a pre
ventive of disorders caused by miasma and im
pure water.
Imported Turnip Seed—Boo Bushels to the
Acre—the Swede or Ruta Baga Turnip for
Winter use.—lmported from Switzerland to the
Province of Canada, and grown the past season
from Selected Bulbs.
This turnip grows very large, weighing from
5 to 10 pounds, and is a heavy cropper, remark
ably juicy, of sound constitution, and perfectly
hardy. The seed should be sown during the
monthjof September—three ounces of seed is suf
ficient to sow a quarter of an acre. I have just re
ceived a limited this seed, and will send
it securely packed to any part of the United
States, at 50 cents per ounce, three ounces for
SI, or one pound for $5, prepaid by mail. Send
money by Postoffice Order or Registered Letter.

RECIPES
FOR PRESERVING!
Peaches, Pears,. Quinces, Apples,
Plums, Gages, Berries, Grapes,
Tomatoes, Corn
and Okra,
In Barrels, Kegs, large Jars or other vessels of
any size, and almost any kind, without mak
ing them air tight, and without using
sugar, at a cost of from four to
eight cents per gallon, and in
quality and fresh fruit fla
vor really superior to the
best canned fruit.
COPYRIGHT SECURED.
This recipe differs entirely from the air-tight
ening method, and in fact from every method
thus far offered to the public, and for the most
part is a new and original discovery of my own,
especially so regarding the mode of preparing
the fruit at preserving, and for use upon the
table, whilst to prevent fermentation, and en
able its reliable keeping in wooden kegs and bar
rels simply headed and bunged tight, or in large
jars without forming a vacuum, or making them
air tight. I confess to being actuated to the
discovery manifesting the recipe, by an antiseptic
already known, and a common staple in the mark
et, at least should be found in every country
store, Drug store and Grocery of the town.
I have used this process largely during the
past three years, last year (1873) I put up over
two hundred and fifty gallons of fruit, mostly in
barrels, and having more than I wanted for use,
I sold what I could spare in our town at one
dollar per gallon.
I have been fully successful with Peaches,
Pears, Apples, Quinces, Plums and Gages, Ber
ries, Grapes, Tomatoes and Okra, and all who
used them at my table pronounced them superi
or to the best canned fruit, being very firm, and
having more of the fresh fruit flavor. They
kept reliable the year round in barrels headed
and bunged tight, and upon opening the barrel
I used or removed the fruit by little as wanted,
from time to time until all was used, involving
from one to two months in using, during which
time they kept free from fermentation, or the
least sign of it. Upon removing the head of the
barrel at first opening, it was not replaced un
til the barrel was emptied, simply keeping the
barrel otherwise covered closely as I couid, to
prevent dust getting in, and guard against evap
oration of the fruit syrup—thus, keeping fruit in
barrels, is certainly an economical feature of this
recipe. But it has another as economical if not
more desirable feauture, that is, Ido not use su
gar at the time of preserving the fruit, whereby
the expense or outlay of money at the time of pre
serving is so small and trifling, that it will actu
ate farmers, fruit growers and families to save
more fruit for winter use, and perhaps for the
market; and if they do not, it robs them of one
excuse, that of the expense for not doing so.
These two features combining, make this re
cipe a desirable one to be in every family, and
what I most desire to urge’ upon the public is,
its combined cheapness and good qualities of the
fruit, and in urging it, my Strong wish is indeed
to farmers and fruit growers, to avail themselves
of it, preserve their surplus fruits and tomatoes
for sale or use during the winter months. In
doing so, by having cheap help--boys or girls—
to prepare the fruit for preserving, any farmer
or farmer’s wife, with a few ordinary preserving
kettles, can put up two or three hundred gallons
per day.
Judging from the ready sale I met with for
the fruit I sold in our town at one dollar per gal
lon, it is my opinion that if the fruit growers
will preserve their surplus fruit for winter mar
ket it would all sell readily at remunerative prices
—and at one dollar per gallon would be equal to
from three to four dollars per bushel for the
fresh fruit.
