The Farmers Association.

ANdohN AAlS DdunCI.
The constitution and bylaws by
which the Middle Tennessee Farmers
Association is to be governed have
been published and are now being ex-
tensively circulated throughout the
division. The documents are ably
framed, and by their conciseness will
be read by every farmer. The main
points set forth are the purposes for
which the organization is intended, and
the simplest, yet most effective rules
for insuring success. 1t is alamentable
fact, yet true one that representa-
tives of the greatest industry in the
land (agriculture) have for so long
time lived and worked inharmoniously,
and without understanding, when the
very reverse is the only mode by which
to succeed. National legislation is and
has been carried on.without their voice
being heard; railroads, commission
merchants, and, in fact, every class of
industry which depends solely upon ag-
riculture for success, have had the adj
vantage of legislation (and often to the
farmers disadvantage y while the SIM
pie tiller of the soil has been ignored.
The establishing of farmers associations
is the only sovereign remedy to these
evils, and the plan adopted by the pro-
iectors of the one for Middle Tennessee

members. From every county vice.

More About Manure.
To the Standard /:

To the Standard;
The excrement and urine of hogs
are very superior manures. Therefore
if farmer has twenty hogs to fatten,
he ought to fence off four acres, pillow
deep, and fatten his hogs on it. Per-
haps the cheapest portable fence he
could have might be made thus:
Have scantlings sawed 2x3 inches and
six feet long, sawed of any kind of
hard wood. This is for your posts.
Saw poplar, chestnut or any other soft,
light timber, into laths two inches wide
and three-quarters thick and eight or
nine feet long for the Stats. Sharpen
the posts and leave one foot to go into
the ground. Then nail on your Stats
and !. brace like a gate. Make
the holes with large drill shod with
iron and drive into the ground. Feed
as nearly over all the enclosure as pos
sible. The loose earth will absorb and
hold all the manure. If the land gets
hard from tramping during the fatten-
ing process, pillow again. Perhaps some
one will object that it will get too
muddy. This is not likely, as hogs
should be. fattened in the early fall
when there is very little rain, because
it is now known that one-half the corn
will fatten them in the mild weather
in the early fall that will be required
to fatten them in the severe, wet
weather of December and January
and the best and sweetest bacon is made
by killing in November.
Let me predict the results. Land
that before produced one ton of clover
hay, 20 bushels of corn, or 5 bushels
of wheat to the acre, will, after thi;
treatment, make three tons of clover
hay, so bushels of corn, or 20 bushels
Of wheat to the acre. If this process
costs a little labor and attention, it pays
ten times for the labor. Is that MOI
enough? And if your land was before
worth $40 per acre, after that it is vel
worth $50; for after this with the same
labor the farmer makes three times al
much, and the product is much better
and by judicious rotation of crop
with deep tillage, the fertility thu
gained will last many years if not in
definitely.
A barrel of water per day must b
hauled to them. Then, don't fattel
your hogs near a branch or pond ant
lose all this valuable manure.
