AnOId Alabama Farm.

AoAAeAtN NIesl ASGfifWs
Considerable excitement exists in
West Point over the discovery Of iron
ore ust outside OF that city. The facts.
as CLEANED from a prominent citizen
are as follows: Many years ago las far
back as l844) the then State Geologist
Of Alabama found magnetic iron ore OF
the farm Of the late Major George
Reese, in the surburbs Of West Ponti.
No further investigation was made.
nor did 1t arouse any particular inter.
est at the time. The whole matter
was dormant until a few weeks since,
when DIR. Dallis jackson, a young
gentleman Of great energy and enter
prise became possessed Of the Rees
place aod, in knocking about the
premises. unearthed specimens of .
deposit WHICH g believed by those
who have seer the iron helds Of North
Alabama and other regions so iabulou
10 value. Mr.. Jackson Immediately
sent a fragment 90 Professor Eugene
A. Smith, State GeoloGiSt, for analy.
sis; also one to Professor Nell, of the
A. and NJ. College at Auburn. These
distinguished scientific gentlemen con-
cur 10 the following encouraging
statement. "The specimen Is magnetic
iron ore and, if fguod In reasonable
quantities, will be very valuable, il
much desired, and will pay we'll, etc.
Thus il stands, the testimony Of expe
rieEced persons aud scientific experts
being a~ecordant, the first as to the
value of the specimens, the second a.
to the probable immense quntity oil
the ore.

One OF the most important points in

erent kinds OF manure together. The ma-
nure from horses Is too heating to be kept
in piles by itself at any season oil the year.
Il is good plan TO mix with manure
from the COW stable, the hog pen and the
hen house. ncovered occasionally with a
little fresh earth the heap will be finely
rotted by fall, and be proportionsbly rich
according to the materials used.
With come care in saving the excrement
OF cattle and horses during the summer q
great deal OF manure may be made, even II
tia barnyard has been thoroughly cleaned
10 the spring. 1t is the lack Of attention to
the home manufacture Of manure that has
caused the loss OF fertility which farmers
arc now compelled TO replace by high
priced phosphates and guano. No farm
can long be successfully run on which the
manure made upon the farm itself does
not constitute large proportion oil what is
needed 10 grow The crops.

The flannel shirt Is pioneer oil reform.
Several years ago-about war times-the
flannel shirt was in vogue. It was OF dark
color, worn with linen or paper collar, the
bosom covered with scarf and close but
famed double. breasted vest. In later times
the flannel shirt pushed itself to the front
as "quite the thing" for summer fishing
and hunting; and SO it began to appear
with some misgivings in company at sea-
side and mountain resorts. The women
tolerated 1t there, and 1t made holder
move upon the cities. Manufacturers took
tho hint and began to turn out neatly made
flannel shirts Of light colors, including
white, with artistically stitched bosoms to
be fastened with gay silken cords, and an
ample rolling collar.
These garments were said to be for
bicyclists who have done much to give
them standing in good society, but the
shrewd manufacturers knew that the
bicyclists would not monopolize all the
good sense. During the present summer
the flannel shirt has made great headway.
1t has established itself as genteel. This
much gained its great merit is likely to
command consideration. Next summer 1t
will be in greater favor, and as men grow
wise it will supplant for summer wear the
odious spilled" The strike ought to be
general and early.

Prof. Orago on tho dag RESOLUTION.

To the Editor Of Tie Iatellfgener.
sln-At your request / give below, in as
brief a manner as possible, the facts re-
lating 10 the Offering OF Prof.. Kidd's famous
resolution at the late meeting OF the Edu.
cational Association at Buckhannon, West
Va. It was offered sometime during the
morning session OF the second day; and
immediate consideration Of the same was
asked. A motion to refer to the Committee
on Resolutions was amended toindetinitely
postpone. The presiding officer, State
Superintendent Butcher, by common con-
sent deferred the consideration OF the sub
iect and proceeded with the regular pre-
rramme. The Committee on Resolutions
refused to recommend the adoption Of the
resolution, but referred it to the AssoCia-
ton. On its coming up for consideration
Mr.. Hall offered his substitute, which has
been published. Both the resolution and
substitute we're laid on the table. A siren
mons effort was made to lave it taken
from the table at once, but the Chairman
decided that It could not be done, and the
Association adjourned. II recoIlect
rightly the vote TO lay on the
table was % to 10. This is all,
except that considerable amount Of feeling
was shown in the discussion !. g. what lit
he was INDUCED in. would merely add,
hat / with the great majority OF the
teachers present thought that the resolu.
lion was very Ill timed and injudicicns, and
We considered 1t not a subject for our con-
sjderation, or the discussion OF the same
would mot have been opposed. The reso:
linton would have been lost bya decided
vote had the issue been forced.
Perhaps It is not for me to surmise even,
what induced the gentleman to offer the
resolution when he did and as he did, he
being a member Of the Committee on
Resolutions, but there was certainly room
IN snrmise that he was either influenced by
other 90 TO do, or wished to gain q notoriety
mat would NOT have been gained had. the
come from the Committee on
Resolutions, The former he denies, and
Il the latter influenced him, the notoriety
gained il certainly not to be envted.
In conclusion, would say, that you, Mr..
Editor, were not alone In your surmlses
though they may not be correct.

Arrtculturnl Pairs.

The fair season is about to open, and
there is good promise all around. West
Virginia will make good showing, and
Ohio and Pennsylvania will come out
strong. It is neither too late nor too early
to suggest that the fair that is worth having
is worth conducting well. The require
ments with regard 10 exhibits should be
reasonable and once, laid down, they should
be rigidly adhered to. Anything less is
unfair, for there always will be persons
who believe that law Is made TO be lived
up to, and these are not Of the class which
always demands special dispensatioDs.
When the time for exhibits TO be in place
has expired, 1t ought to be understood that
no more will be received, though the space
be not half.flled.
This might to some extent impair the
success Of the fair for the first year, but the
seeming loss would be good investment
that would pay dividend the second year.
As rule the first day Of thecompleted fair
is really the second day on theprogramme.
Stock is being brought in on the frst day,
machinery is being arranged-the curtain
goes up, but the players are not ready.
The public knows what is likely to be and
largely discounts it by staying away the
first day. The association Losses in the
matter OF receipts, and the fair is hurt by
beginning badly.
A growing cause Of complaint and one
that is being taken into consideration by
the managers OF such enterprises, is that
many articles are on view which have no
proper place in an agricultural or industrial
fair. Things which are merely odd or curl
Gus, having no relation to bread-winning,
belong to the museum or the travelling
show, not to the county or state fair, by
which we understand something more
and better than catch.penny. The "edu-
Gated hog is all right in his place, but the
chief end Of the hog is not to be educated"
and it is Of little service to the farmer to be
convinced that patient man can teach the
hog TO play euchre. Four.headed calves
aud performing bears serve no better pur-
pose.
Awarding Of premiums has always been
a cause Of more or less irritation. Trial by
jury never gives greater dissatisfaction
than in this. The judges may be honest,
welldisposed, discreet, but somebody will
suspect them Of unfairness. For this rea-
son the English plan Of employing a pro-
fessional Judge for each Of the more i'm
portant classes is finding favor in this coun,
try. The expert knows his business, gives
reasons for his decision, and is beyond the
suspicion Of tayoritism.
The county or State fair is 80 valuable
an institution that It is worth while to try
to bring it to the highest point OF efticien'
