BRASS GRASS TOtt ALU
December 26 'jg.
Editors Banner:
It is said that no people arc
independent who do produce
what they cat and wear; thisic
never have done hence the nc-
cecessity of raising our own
horses mules sheep cerials and
hay; aid producing our own
butter cheese rice sugar and
fruits also raise our own cattle
and hogs and when we do this
vc shall perhaps live more in
dependently than any other
people in the world. Grass cul-
ture must necessarily be the ba-
sis of this independence. Com-
paratively few planters jn the
south appreciate the value of
grass as a cultivated crop wheth-
er on land that has been culti-
vated a thousand years as in
Europe or America upon vir-
gin soils the highest price paid
for land as well the greatest net
products per acre and the max-
imum results of the labor of
one man occur where grass cul-
ture is the special pursuit. This
is true because every acre of
good bottom land convenient of
access ornear a local market
well .set in permanent grass is
worth 100 to the "farmer; a
bountiful providence has favor-
ed us with gerrennial grasses
naturally adopted to our climate
and soils that are more durable
and yield more than any of the
cultivated grasses of th&North
and is superior for grazing of
nay 1 reier to the Uutnea
gras. I speak from experience
last year 1 got 1 peck of the
seed in the- chaft and sowed it
on 1-4 of an acre of land and in
40 days from the time of sow-
ing it was over 5 feetliigh and
it was cut every davsthmurrri
&cc year tmttl frost and I prefef J
it to any hay or fodder. Horses
and cattle eat it and are fond of
it; the hogs live on it all the
winter rooting for the roots
which are plentiful and better
than artichokes; last spring it
came up thicker than ever and
the middle of spring I cut the
hay; the last of June I cut again
and the first of luly again; then
the stock was put in the field
and the railroad graded through
the field so that I got no more
hay but I have dug 20 bushels
of roots for fanners that wanted
them and can dig 100 bushels
more from the 1-4 acre so you
must know it would keep hogs
fat through the winter for the
roots are better than artichokes
for hogs. Every farmer ought
to have from 1 to 3 acres in
Guinea grass it would supply
him with all the hay- he would
need and he need not pull any
more fodder it will cut 2 tons.
of hay to the acre every 35
days through the summer and
keep his hogs fat through the
winter; the hogs rooting for the
roots is a benefit it seems to
answer as a working in the
spring; I run the liarrow over
the ground to level it so it will
be in better order to rake the
hay up. The people of the
South will have to pay more at-
tention to the cultivation of
grass as the prairies arc all ert
out and weeds has taken place
of the grass; so let us all turn
our attention more to the rais
ing of grass for grass it is that
makes our butter and milk our
beef our mutton and I may say
nearly all we use is made from
grass; so let us have plenty of
glass. J. B. Van Ness.
The Honest Grangers
It does one's heart good to
see a merry round-faced fann-
er. So independent and yet so
free from vanity and pride so
rich and yet so industrious; so
patiant and pcrserving in his
calling and yet so kind socia-
ble and obliging. There are a
thousand sobla traits about hi
GhararUr. He is generally hos-
pitable. Eat and -drink -with
him and he wont set a mark on
you. and sweat it out of you
with double compound interest
as some people I know will;
you are welcome. He will do
you a kindness without expect-
ing a returo by way of compen-
sation; it is net so with every-
body. He is usually more hon-
est and sincere less disposed
to deal in low-and undc;handed
punning than many I could
name. He gives to society its
best support its firmest pillars
hgt support the edifice of gov-
ernment he is lord of nature.
Look at him in lib homespun
and gray ; laugh at him if you
ivpl but believe me be can
laugh back if he pleases. -
Measuring Hay.
Vlchljan F&roVT.l
To find the number of tons in
Jong or square stacks the follow
ing is i)c ruie: luuiupiy uie
length in yards by the width in
yards and that by half the alti-
tude in yards and divide the
product by fifteen. Tp find the
number of tpns in circular
stacks: Multiply the .square of
the circumference hi yards by
four times tl.c altitude in yards
and divide by one hundred.
The quotient will be the number
pf pubic yards jn p stack-
TJieii divide by fifteen to get
the number of Jons.
So far on'y about a dozen
members of the House have
been found to support the Pres-
ident' contraction policy.
What A Farm Should lie.
Crnittkit Tlnurt
The farm sriotiltl be not Mere
ly a place rthere men subsist
and rear families in the strictest
economy starving the eoul to
add a few more acres to the
fifty or hundred already obtain-
ed and which in reality are not
thoroughly cultivated but a
home speaking of plenty a
home rich in attractions build-
ing well kept shade and orna-
mental trees lawns with walks
and flowering shrubs not for-
getting the furnished parlor and
library. The newspaper maga-
zine pictures and music poets
and history should be here.
True the farmer's home is of
necessity a busy place but it
should not be all kitchen and
dairy not all scythe and plow
not all an endless routine of
treadmill duties but where the
farmer and his wife could find
some time each day to mingle
with books and in conversation.
Away from the bustle and the
clatter of the town it should be
the place to grow large in judg-
ment and fine in taste. One of
the most" hopeful indications
of progress is the position occu-
pied by farmers arid the grow-
ing aspect manifest toward
them For practical moral and
rcsthctical culture farmers'
children have superior advan-
tage. The hills and forest with
their brooks and rocks afford
ample facilities for the study of
botany gecgoly and natural
history. Nowhere are the
heavens so broad or do the con-
stellations offer greater attrac-
tions to the would-be astrono-
mer than upon the hill tops in
summer or when under the
beautiful snow the earth lies
buried at our feet That these
opportunities are appreciated is
seen in the demand for agricul-
tural colleges in all our states.
It is not to be lamented that all
the graduates of these colleges
do not go back to the farm
upon which they were reared.
Many of them become manu-
facturers merchants lawyers.

liroom Corn.
Blrigo Sural.
Broom corn requires nearly
the same quality of soil and
mode of culture as Indian corn.
It thrives best on flat loamy or
river bottom land but will grow
satisfactorily on any fertile soil.
Corn stubble or clover sod pre-
cede it with advantage.
After thoroughly pulverizing
the ground in the spring with
the harrow make out the rows
three and one-half -or four feet
apart and if possible sow the
seed with common garden drill
or wanting that drop the seed
as evenly as possible by hand.
When the plant is two inches
high run backward and for-
wards between the rows with a
two-horse harrow to kill the
weeds loosen the soil and give
the corn a start. Most people
-plant too thick and hence no
damage will follow if some of
the spears are torn up. After
this treat as ordinary corn.
The next thing is to prevent
the brush falling down and grow-
ing crooked. This is done by
bending down the corn as soon
as the heads shoot out. Be
careful not to bend the stalk so
low that the tops will touch the
ground or so much that the
joints fracture -else the corn will
be ruined. Go over the ground
and repeat the process until the
heads are all out.
When the seed has matured
cutting must begin. The brush
should becut above the first joint
and the leaf removed. Take
two rows and after cutting the
brush cut the stalk near the
roots and lay then crosswise
between the rows to serve as a
bed for the brush so as to keep
it from mildewing. Then bund-
le and stack. Let the stacks
remain two or three weeks
until the corn is perfectly dry.
Haul to the barn and thresh. A
man and a boy can clean sever-
al hundred pounds in a day.
The evergreen variety is pre-
ferable its yield exceeding that
of other varities. The crop is
easily managed and highly re-
munerative. A Georgia Farmer's puccf".
Amfriru (Ga ) Ksrdr.
We know a man now a large
farmer and living near Amcr-
icus whose record reads like
romance. He began life since
the war a poor young man as
a farm hand wcrkingforuages.
He has inherit! d nothing and
has been engaged in no business
except farming. He this year
w ill make ninety bales of cotton
has not brought a single bale to
market does not proposeJo sell
a bale before spring and he is
able to hold it. He owns one
of the best plantations in South-
west Georgia and it is his boast
that he buys nothing with
which to feed man or beast ex-
cept sugar and coffee ; but on
the contrary has something to
sell of almpst any product of
Southern soil. Iist year he
made J6oo gallons of syrup
and this year has sold over 2oq
pounds of butter.

CBcri of Action.
(MllRfVMtnr.t
The imp&rtanec of concert of
action or co-operation among
farmeiS cannot be over-estimated.
Heretofore it has been
considered impracticable for
them to co-operate. It has
been held that they are scat-
tered too much to work togeth-
er or in concert. 'This is not
true. They can co-operate as
the past years have demonstra-
ted but the masses have never
seen the importance of this
step; consequently the burdens
have been imposed upon the
few in every grange. Such is
the case howevtr in every or-
ganization. Those therefore
who see the importance of co-
operative efforts among farmers
should not allow themselves to
become discouraged.
We have more of the co-operative
spirit in the order than
ever before. It is true that
some of our brethern are not as
active as at first but many ex-
pected results which were un-
attainable and gradually lest
enthusiasm notwithstanding
which they clung to the organi
zation as a true friend. This
proves they have confidence in
the grange and known that it is
the instrument by which they
are to protect and elevate their
vocation. Were it otherwise
they would not continue to
spend time and money to up-
hold it
Th.

They hoped to obtain
at once that which time and
perseverance alone can secure.
They had misconceivednotions
of the work.ahead arid; as 'a re-
sult found their ideas modified
as they progressed. They
therefore rely upon those who
have a clearer view of the im-
portance of our organization
and depend upon' them to de-
vise ways and means to ad-
vance the interests of the order.
Much as this is to be lamented!
i it could not in the nature of
thines. D5 otherwise inose
wiio feel they are laboring in a
good cause Du: do not under-
stand how bast to proin?te the
interests of that cause naturally
look to the few to point out the
way ; upon whom fall the bur-
dens as well as the honors.
Those therefore who are
placed in charge of the organi-
zation have great responsibili-
ties placed upon them. They
are to lay out the plan of action
to adhere to it themselves and
to teach others how to do it
until this is done the burden
is upon them. Great as this
burden is there is no room for
discouragement The masses
are supporting them and will
render telling aid to the cause
as soon as they know how.
Every official in the order
should therefore devise means
by which the lessons of our or-
ganization are imparted to mem-
bers. They rely upon and ex-
pect this. In doing so howev-
er be careful to teach them to
think for themselves thut a
higher manhood may be devel-
oped ; that as they learn they
may become less and less de-
pendent upon others for their
ideas and views.
Be careful not to "educate
them to look upon those in
whom they have confidence; as
leaders as men who possess
their thoughts and opinions.
By so doing the grange will
soon develop a higher order of
citizenship place the average
farmer above the deceptive in-
fluences of those who set
snares for the misinformed and
ignorant and give an impetus
to the continued development
of the noble purposes of the or-
der never realized before.
General Grant and the South.
3Iul)i"le t-Ua-1 RcsUttr.)
Among the absurdities of
politics is the idea that there is
a disposition among Southern
democrats to accept General
Grant as a presidential candi
date. He would be accepted
only in a certain state of affairs.
If the North is detcmincd to
take away the liberties of the
Southern States and destroy
their equality in the Union
these States will protect them
selves by thrusting the poison
down the throats of their per-
secutors. If the South is to be
ruled by the bayonet we will
see to it that all the country is
ruled by the bayonet. If the
Southern States are once more
to be converted into provinces
we will endeavor to extend im-
perial government over all the
States alike. If by quarrels
among Northern democrats and
by the crusade of Northern re-
publicans we are to lose the lib-
erties of State we will not hes-
titate to do all in our power to
preserve the liberties of the in-
dividual by rendering it no
longer necessary for the party
in power to oppress us.
Not a Southern State will vote
for Grant. He is the represen-
tative of unbridled and insolent
centralized power. The bab-
ble of the few rattle-brained fos-
sils who are now assuring the
friends of Grant that he is look-
ed upon with favor at the South
docs not represent the senti-
ment of a corporal's guard of
Southern white voters. Jndced
the Southern whites w ould pre-
fer the nominatir) 0f Grant be-
cause it would pall out a united
black vote in his behalf and
thus keep the white vote united
for the democratic ticket.
