Collector of the Port of New York,

Daniel Aagone, the new collector of the
port of New York, was born in Ogdensburg
and is about 55 years old, his parents being
natives of Ireland. He adopted the law as
his profession. Mr. Magone's success in his
profession has been signal, his income being
fully SO, 900 year, which is very large for a
country attorney. He is a self-made man.

THE FARMER IN PENNSYL-
VANIA.

COL A. X. Mcclure, editor of the
Philadelphia Times, runs an indepen-
dent newspaper and sometimes
he runs an independent tongue, as
will be seen from his speech made
before the National Grange in Phil
adelphia and reported by the Farm
er's Friend:
He alluded to the husbandry of
the land as the largest and most
important interest of the country,
and said he heard complaints from
every direction that the husbandry
Of the land was oppressed; that
it is interrupted in reaching the
markets Of the land; that it is trod-
den down by organized capital, and
this is true, but it is the fault of the
farmers only. They hold in their
hands the power to vindicate their
rights and do not use it. They
have been forgetful Of their duties
and faithless to themselves. He
said: "With the power in your
hands you ought not to come to
Philadelphia whimpering about
wrongs you have the power to cure.
Physician heal thyself! Do you ask
me how to do it? 1t is as plain as
MONDAY. Don't get . lot of politi
cal demagogues to lead your col

Of Congress who fails in his duty
strike him to the earth. If there is

est Of organized capital and against
the rights of the farmers stamp on
him as you would viper If you
do this it wont be year before you

their knees to you, asking You who
you will have"

MOUNT TABOR CLUB.

One of the largest and most enthu-
siastic meetings yet held by our
club was the one Of the Goth inst.
Quite a crowd was present and the
discussions showed that our mem
bership is becoming more impressed
with the Importance of our organi-
zation. J. A. Petree, F. A. Fulk,
Isaac Petree and E. NJ. Thompson
were appointed delegates to the
County club. The following were
elected our executive committees: J
r. Petree, ]. w. Bullard and J. J..
Pratt. One new member was added
to our number and several young
men were received us honorary
members. The question Of the ne':es-
sity for having a State convention
of our farmers was discussed AMI il
met with the general approval of
the club. We adjourned to me:
again on the night Of the 10th OF
December. Respectfully.

many things that would greatly
benefit the country, and by having
a State organization we can have
that unity of thought and action so
essential to our progress and devel-
opment We should have had
a convention long years ago.
If we ever accomplish anything it
must be alone by standing together.
Several speeches were made-all
strongly in favor of the report and
on motion it was unanimously
adopted.
The meeting having been opened
at an unavoidably late hour and the
discussion of the various subjects
brought before it, having been
somewhat protracted, the considera-
ton Of the question presented at
the last meeting was postponed.

CEDAR GROVE CLUB B.

There was a called meeting of
Cedar Grove Club, November 10Th,
at which the attendance was large
Several members actively partici-
Mated in the discussion, which was
bow to make farm life more attrac-
tive to the young people. The Presi-
hent, A. w. Bevel, said: [ can say
how it was when | was boy. The
Yarn had few attractions The boys
fdo not always have fair play. Some
times they are given an Old blind
horse to work with. the duIIest hoes

when the other hands are at rest
tha boy is not untrequentIy required
to carry water and be a sort of an
errand boy for the others. Give the
boys good tools, and make their
work as easy and as pleasant as pos
sible for them. Let them visit the
towns and the shops and see for
themselves hoW men who work for
wages under bosses, have to labor. He
illustrated the mistaken ideas that
people have about the attractions Of
other occupations by telling of see
ing a stage driver, when he was a
young man, mou hted on his stage,
driving team Of four spirited
horses and how he envied that stage
driver He wouId rather be that
stage driver than President of the
United States BE spoke Of once
visiting one of the finest farms in
Davie county, VIII ere every comfort
was within reach! The owner had
son with whom he proposed to
divide the farm, Sut the young man,
carried away with the delusion Of
city life, went tq town and hired out
to work in some humble occupation
for wages.
Our children must be taught that
the occupation of the farmer is a
noble one, and, as compared with
the OCCUPATIONS Of those who work
for Wages in cities, a happy and an
Independent one.
Len ketner preferred the life of a
farmer because it was an independ
ent one, he was his own boss and
had not to go nor to come at the
bidding of any master. He had been
a farmer for thirty years and had
never bought pound Of bacon.
Samuel Alspaugh said the way to
make the farm attractive to the
young was to set them good exam
pies and to make home pleasant for
them and thus they would grow up
good men and good women and be
content, and make good farmers.
Have good houses, good stock, good
gardens, good fences, and have
everything neat and as attractive as
possible. Look to the future not the

And let us live as near to God as
possible. Let parents be kind to
their children and children obedient

plish everythingat once, but we can

life Of the farmer, and said that

UTILIZING PEA VINES.

In place Of ploughing under pea
vines send heavy roller over them
which will break them near the sur
face Of the ground. The vine, above
the point Of fracture, will decay
while new shoots will be sent out
below the fracture and another
crop will be grown which can be
similarly treated. If this method
shall prove successful, the principal
difference in the use of green fertili-
zers will be obviated; and we con-
slider the question one Of the great
est Importance to farmers. It is
evident that a very heavy roller
would be rcquirid, but cutting knives
might be used to assist in breaking
the stems. It is probable that the
age of the vines would materially
affect the facility with which the
stems are broken. If the roller is
used at the proper time, when the
vines are in blood, breakage could
be effected more easily than if the
vines are maturing We hope to
learn more of the matter, and if we
succeed in getting any positive infor-
nation as to experiments made, our
readers will hear of 1.-THE Spring

November, 1886.

EDITOR PROGRESSIVE FARMER
The corn crop is about housed.
While the yield is considerably short
there is more than enough for home
consumption. The crop is estimated
at about one third less than last
year. Some of the farmers have
their old crop on hand yet.
The last wheat crop was almost a
failure here, and at present the pros
pect for the coming crop is not at
all f1attering.
Neither was the apple crop as
large as it was last year, but | think
the farmers can keep the Sheriff off,
Notwithstanding the bad crops.

attention to making their own ma
nure, which we all find to be the
cheapest and most profitable way of

Y THE GOOD CLUBS DO.

I The EH~0bPth city Economist speaks
as follows on the benefits to be
derived by farmers from the organ
zation of farmers clubs:
'The often quoted remark of Dean
Swift is that he who makes two
blades of grass or two ears of corn
to grow where but one grew before
deserves better of his country and
is more entitled to the gratitude Of
the people than the whole race Of
politicians put together This is a
noble tribute to the industrious and
thoughtful tiller of the soil. If one
blade Of grass or one ear of corn en-
titles one man to the gratitude Of
mankind, how much more is that
man Or that body Of men entitled
to the gratitude that causes fifty
blades of grass or fifty ears Of corn
to grow where but one grew before? :?
The farmers club Of Pasquotank
county, if properly sustained, will
do that. 1t will give new life to the
farmers occupation in all this sec
ton. 1t will give every one the ben
eft of every other ones experience
1t will give every member the bene-
fit of prices obtained by every other
member. 1t will be weekly muse

he can learn the news and how the

and as we predicted then, the child

farmers club is worth .ro farmers
ten times what fair is. A fair is
expensive and requires a stock com
pany to sustain it; Il farmers CLUB
requires nothing but punctuaIity
and little time. We would sooner
contribute to raise monument to
the man who builds and suStains a
farmers club than to the man who
builds up and sustains a fair. A
farmers club is purely agricultural
and benefits farmers alone. A far
mer's club room, with week y spcci-

agricultural periodicals and other
publications on file, and with paint
ings Of agricultural scenes and por-
traits of distinguished farmers on
the walls, we should regard as the
