HAUL our MANURE.

The season for planting almost all the
field crops has arrived, and we earnestly de-
sire to impress upon the farmer the necessity
of saving and applying every particle of ma
nure that can be collected about his premi-
ses. Let him bear in mind that the ma
nure bank is nothing but the concentrated
products Of the farm; that for every load
of well rotted manure judiciously applied
to his soil he may reasonably hope TO bring
in a load Of marketable products, if not the
first year, at any rate before the manure is
exhausted. Save all the excrementitious
matter about the barn-yard, by covering
them with litter, which VII act as an alb
sorbent and will also retain all the fertiliz-
ing properties Of. the urine. Let compost
heaps be made at a convenient distance
from the wash-house and all soap-suds,
bones, pieces of waste meat, wooden rags,
dead chickens, horses, COWS, etc, be put in
1t. Such a heap made of porous earth,
plaster or burnt clay,will not only be a good
means CT destroying the noxious odors
that arise from purifying carcasses, but
will be the intrument for utilizing them for
producing food for the support of life. 1t
may be laid down that a farmers credit
will rise with the size of his manure bank
in winter, and with the decrease Of it in
spring,

THE FENCE LAW.

From every State comes up the wal
from farmers Of the oppressive tax they are
compelled to pay before they can use their
land. The California Farmer says:
The fence question is one now of the
highest Importance to our State, and one to
which the particular attention of our legisla-
tors is most earnestly demanded.
The assessment rolls of our several
counties and the report Of the Board of
Equalization in their recent report, show
the large tracts of land that are now held
by heavy stOck-men and spectators in lan0
as the cause that greatly retards the settling
up Of these several counties by small farm
ers, which is the only way we can increase
our population or build up our State, and
make it permanently prosperous.
The Fence Laws that compel a man to
fence his land in order to save his crops
from stray, rowing lands Of stock, is bur
den too heavy longer to be borne, and the
time has come when Legislation must cure
this wrong.
When stock is allowed to run loose over
an entire county or district, it prevents set
tiers in those districts, and thus retards the
general prosperity, and no stock-man should
be allowed to let his stock stray abroad over
his neighbours land to his injury without
being liable to damages done by that stock,
and such damages to be ample.
This is a subject that should be fully and
finally settled this session Of our LegisId-
ture.

Like that Of liberty, is eternal vigilance. The
vapOr-laden air Of Spring exercises depressing
influence on the vital powers. The strongest feel

Raw stimulants are eminsntly pernicious in such
cases, and drastic cathartics about as bad. The
vital principle needs succor and support, and a
reinforcing preparation that win tone and rouse,

medicine that nature demands. An the medi-
cinal elements required for such emergencies are
combined in HOstetter's Stomach Bitters, the

UNION AND AMERICAN
FARM AND GARDEN.
STOCK VS.. COTTON AND PEANUT

STOCK VS.. COTTON AND PEANUTS.
Mr.. Sam G.. McElroy, of Lebanon, KY,
who is extensively engaged in raising the
finest prize Berkshire hogs, says that his
advertisement in the UNION AND AMERI-
CAN did him more good than all other pa
pers. Stock raisers would do well to make
q note of this. The tendency this year is
to 60 strongly for cotton and peanuts. Says
Mr.. McElroy: "The people Of Tennesses
have climate and soil well adapted to the
raising of stock Of every kind. The most
thrifty farmers of Kentucky are those who
diversity their products and raise the bsst
herds of stock. With stock and grass the
farmer is bound to be successful, as only
One-half Of the labor is required for the
same size farm as in raising tobacco and
cotton"
We agree with Mr.. McElroy, and only re-
greet that our people are 'joined to their
idols" and no amount of persuasion will
induce them to forego their alterations to
"King Cotton His demands are law;
and however much he may deceive his do
voices one year, it is all forgotten the next.

SOW PLASTER.

Let no farmer who wishes 10 raise .
luxuriant crop Of clover on his thin soils
fail to buy a few barrels of land plaster and
SOW on it just as it begins to show on the
ground, and before the hot days Of June
set in. The beneficial action Of plaster on
clover is due chiefly % the capacity or qua
lily which the plaster has Of fixing the am
monia brought down from the atmosphere
by the rains, dews, SHOWS and thus secur-
ing a large supply Of nitrogenOus food for
the growth of clover. iIf any famer doubts
that he will be compensated for this outlay,
let him buy but bushel of plaster aud SOW
one strip across his field, and he will find
the clover so rank as to look ike a
raised bed, Or parteTre OF
living greer. Let our farmers
constantly bear in mind that what
ever increases the product Of clover,
increases the organic matter that comes
directly from the atmosphere through this
agency. Clover thus, so to speak, becomes
the banker to collect and treasure up the
rich ingredients OF plant food, to be checked
out by such crops as wheat, corn Or tobacco.
These crops are arrant spendthrifts. They
consume during their growth four times as
mach as can be accounted for when they
are harvested. This was conclusively proved
bv Laws and Gilbert IN their valuable exPe-
riments, at Rothemstead, Of the use Il
ammoniacsl manures upon the wheat crop.
Every agency, therefore, must be resorted
to, in order to supply this plant with its
needed wants, and in no way can its wants
be so economically supplied as by the SOW.
ing of clover and plaster.
We are gratifed to learn that our articles
on the subjec tofclover have been pro iuctiye
Of good in many Of the counties. Every
day brings gratifying evidences Of this fact;
and believing as we do that clover lies at the
bottom of all successful agriculture in Mid
die Tennessee, we must be pardOned for so
often reverting, as We believe, TO ''tlrst
principles" Sow clover then; sow plaster.
BY so doing you build your bank and Sc
cure your banker-more reliable than those
found in cities, because the last depend
upon the first for supplies.

NATIONAL AGRICULTURAL ASsO'
CIA9EOE.

We desire again to remind the various
agricultural associations and farmers clubs
throughout the State, that the National
Agricultural Association will meet in st.
Louis on the 2Rh day Of May next, and it
is earnestly hoped and expected that dele
gates will be appointed by all the organized
bodies entitled to a seat therein, The i'm
poTo8nC of this movement among the agri-
culturists of the land, can scarcely be over
estimated. 1t viii be the unfolding of a
new power, the infusion of fresh vitality
into a branch Of industry that has never
welded an influence cODsummate with its
importance. The scales of ignorance and
error that have been dropping OF Late years
from the eyes of the tillers of the soil
have revealed 10 that class the necessity of
a more perfect and a more extended organ
ization. Too long have they beat the bush
while another has caught the bird. Too
long have they turned at the wheel while
another has ground his axe. Too long have
they borne the heat and burden Of the
day while another has come in at the
eleventh hour and borne away the spoils.
st. Louis, the child Of the Agriculture of
the Mississippi Valley, holds out her vel
coming hands t. the delegates. We learn
from private sources, that ample accom-
modations are being made for the accom-
mediation of the delegates, in a style, too,
beftting city renowned throughout the
world for the public spirit and princely
hospitality of her citizens.
Let every organization in the State, there
fore, numbering fifty members or more,
whether agricultural, horticultural, or Pomo-
logical, make their appointments, so that
they may be represented in this grand
Jubilee Of the cultivators of the earth. Few
and far between have seen such festivities
among that class Of our citizens, 60
necessary and 90 valuable 10 ths

PIRsT BOARD.
The Cotton Movement.

The New York Financial Chronicle of
the 9th inst. has been received, giving
returns showing the receipts, exports, etc,
of cotton for the week ending April 5.
From the figures thus obtained it appears
that the total receipts for the seven days have
reached 36,062 bales against 40, $40 bales last
week, 39,l89 bales the previous week, and
1892 bales three weeks since, making the
total receipts since the first of September,
1871, 2,464, 22S bales against {, 1888, 0S1 bales
for the same period of 1901, showing a
decrease since Sept. this year of 919,S53
bales. The exports for the week ending
same date reach total of 1866 bales, of
which 39,7o3 were to Great Britain, 2,91S
to France, and 1884 to rest of the CONT
nent, while the stocks as made up are now
81, 429 bales. Compared with the cores
ponding week Of last season, there is a de-
crease in the exports this week of 90, 1916
bales, while the stocks are 183, TO bales less
than they were at this time a year ago.
We copy from the Chronicle as follows:
BOMBAY SHIPMENTs.-Our Bombay
telegram received tonight gives the ship
ments to Great Britain for the week at 81
600 bales and to the continent, 1900 bales,
while the receipts at Bombay, during the
oeAI4O I4IlC udNO UCOu 4H3OOO UtstCSs OOlQ-
pared with last year there is a decrease
this year in the weeks shipments to Great
Britain of 5000 bales, and the total move
ment since Jan. l shows an increase in
shipments of 1000 over the corresponding
period of 1871. The receipts at Bombay
show large falling off compared with the
same week year ago. Our dispatch to-
night states that the information with regard
to the crop is less favorable.
VISIBLE SUPPLY OF CoTTON MADE UP

we have tonight the stocks at all the Eu-
ropean ports, and also the India cotton
aaoat for all of Europe, and the American
sloat for each port as given below. From
figures thus received, we have prepared the
following table, showing the quantity of
cotton in sight at this date april 81 of each
of the two past seasons:

opened On top and the seeds sown any time
fem March to May. They should be
lightly covered, not more than half inch
deep. When the plants come out and be-
gin to grow they should be thinned out to
a distance of six inches in the row. AL
grass and weeds must be kept down and
the land well worked and mellow. The
culture is the same as that given to beets.
Upon the approach of cold weather they
should be pulled up and put away in Gel
lar, or stalk house, so as TO be convenient
for feeding. Mixed with the boiled Stops
they give rich color to the milk and
butter, even in winter, and are great IA
vorite with dairymen on that account.
1t is relished as an article of diet by many
persons-boiled, sliced and buttered, or
used in stews. Its chief value, however, is
for the feeding of stock, and we should be
glad to know that some of our farmers,
who suffer their cattle to starve during the
dreary winter days on a few shucks OF
little wheat straw, are preparing to plant
half acre or acre of this nutritious vegeta-
bic to cheer the lives of those poor dumb
creatures.

CARROTs FOB STOCK.

There is no species of vegetation grown
that will at once furnish so much and such
nutritious food for horses, pigs and mich
COWS, as the carrot. 1t contains six tines
as much nutriment as the Irish potato. 1t
not only gives sustenance itself, but, accord
ing to Prof. Mapes, will reLder other food
more easily digestable. One bushel of car
rots, boiled with bushel Of corn, is said to
be worth more than three bushels Of corn
for feeding pigs. When it is remembered
that two or three, and even six hundred
bushels may be produced to an acre, with
precisely the same work that is given to the
culture Of corn, it will be seen that in point
of cheapness it is by far ahead Of any food
grown.

where occasions Offer to be well and fully
represented. Let the mighty moral force
which they have so long been holding In
reserve, and which properly concentrated
and directed, would govern the world, be
displayed. The times are propitious for
such movements. The corruptions in high
places call loudly for the exhibition of the
strength of the honest masses, and we
heartily desire to see this strength CLEAN
forth in the National Association, and
strike terror into the souls of the dem
agogues who are bought by the money and
controlled by the influence Of corporations
antagonistic to the interests of the produc-
cling classes.
Not as Republicans, not as Democrats,
not as Fusionists do we wish display of
this power; but as men identified with the
agriculture of the whole country.
The farmers have power; they have in
telligence; they have honesty. Let these
qualities be exerted for the good Of the land
in stimulating and making respectable the
vocation upon which the perpetuity and
prosperity of the country rest.
We append below Article II of the Con-
stitution, which shows the basis of repre-
sentation. We also give the form of Ger
tifcate. Let all be represented. Half fare
tickets will probably be issued to all dele
gates on the various concentrating lines of
railroads.
ARTICLE II.
Section 1. Each State and Territory
shall be entitled to two delegates, TO be ap-
pointed by the State Agricultural Society
or Association, if there be such an Organi-
cation; if there is not, then the Governor
of such State or Territory shall appoint its
delegates.
Sec. 2, Each Agricultural College in the
United States, organized in conformity
with the law of Congress of 1862, made
for that purpose, shall be entitled to one
representative.
Sec. 8. That each regularly organized
Agricultural Society, of fifty or more men,
bers, which shall have contributed to the
funds of this National organization, in pro-
portion to their representatives shall be en-
titled to one representative.
Sec. 8. Delegates, in all cases, shall be
active members Of some agricultural or
ganization; they shall present credentials
under seal from their respective constitu-
encies; their certificates shall state the
bodies represented, and the number of
members in each.
The amount of funds required to be con-
tributed by section is five dollars for the
first fifty members and one dollar for each
additional fifty members or additional part
thereof. This amount may be forwarded
TO the Treasurer, f. II. French, Nashville,
Tenn, or paid to him at the meeting in st.
Louis.
The following certificate should be given
to delegates:
This is to certify that has
been appointed to represent the (here in

HEALTH HINTS.

Never wear anything in the shape Of
clothing that can press upon the blood-ves-
sells so as to impede the circulation. Put
this down as part Of your hygienic philos-
ophy. No matter what the fashions NAV
be, insist upon carrying out this method Of
dress. Better have a good, round, plump,
healthy body under loose slouchy-lOoking
dress, if so it must be, than to have poor,
feeble, cadaverous body, all but dead, COW
cred up under very nice, weIl-padded,
well-ftted dress. Take this fact in, and
never let it go out of your mind. 1t is cur
ious, when one studies the human body, to
see its vitality expressed for its own preser-
vation, how it resisJs any incursion on the
vital domain.-LdlCS of Life.
