LET THE FARMERS SPEAK.

There are many matters which
come before the Legislature in
which the farmer is directly inter
ested, but in which in their collective
capacity farmers seldom express an
opinion for Legislative guidance.
Take for instance road laws, fence
laws, dog laws. These are matters
in which the farmer more than any
other class of. our citizens is inter
ested, but who ever heard of farm
ers uniting to express an opinion on
these questions when under discus
sion in the Legislature? Suggest a
law affecting railroads, manufacture
ers and other business interests, and
how soon do you see petitions or
remonstrances going up or lobbyists
to work for or against the proposed
measure. While farmers cannot send
lobbyists to work in their interests
they can express their sentiments
and make themselves heard. Dur
ing the late campaign Governor
Vance said in his speech at Hickory
in discussing the issues of the day,
that the reason why the people as
compared with corporations and
monopolies had SO little influence in
Congress was because the people
demanded nothing and took what
they got, while the corporations and
monopolies demanded and were gen
orally more Or less successful in
securing their demands. This is
true and while the farming class
constitute the great bulk Of our
population it is especially true of
them. In view. of these facts we
suggest that the farmers clubs of
the State take under consideration
such matters of Legislative character
as may affect them, discuss them
and send us the result Of such dis
cussion for publication in the Pro
GREssIvE FARMER. This will be one
method of making their sentiments
known to their representatives in
the Legislature.
The progressive farmer. [volume] (Winston, N.C.) 1886-1904, 1886-11-10

numbers. The increase would have
been greater but for the fact that it
costs considerable money to pur-
chase thoroughbred stock, and it is
generally only the farmers who are
in Independent circumstances that
venture the investment. The OBJ
stacle of the cost might be overcome
when Farmers Clubs are organized
by the club becoming the purchaser
of the males Of any desired stock for
the use of those members of the club
who were stock raisers, for the use
also of others not club members at a
reasonable charge. Thus the first
cost, which would be large for the
ordinary farmer to bear in these
times of short crops and low prices,
would be distributed among a num-
Der in such portions that none would
feel it severely, while all would be
benefited and more than repaid the
first year for the investment.
Where there are no clubs few
neighbors might combine and to-
gether become the joint owners of
such stock, for breeding purposes, as
they desired. Cooperation is big
thing, and nowhere can it be prac-
ticed to better advantages than in
the domain of stock raising.

PLANTING GRAPE CUTTINGS.

If you intend to plant vineyard,
there is no difficulty in propagating
Concords, or in fact any of its type,
from cuttings Varieties that do not
"strike" we'll may generally be
coaxed to grow, if little of the
old wood is taken with the wood of
the present seasons growth, which
alone should be used for cuttings.
The old wood at the base assists the
starting of the roots The time to
make the cuttings is now. Cut the
canes into even lengths Of two or
three buds with slanting cut. Tie
them in bundles of twenty to fifty
with withe; set them on their
butts, and cover them entirely with
a mound of earth for the winter. AS
early in the spring as the ground
can be worked, dig a slanting trench
and place the cuttings in this, six
inches apart, and so the top bud will
be even with the surface. In filling
the trench tramp the earth firmly
about the base of the cuttings, and
the most of them should grow.
Keep them carefully hoed and en-
tirely free of weeds. It will not be
necessary to tie up the vines: In
the succeeding spring they will be
ready for planting in the vineyard,
being cut back to two eyes each,
only one of which should be allowed
to finally grow.

LARGE CASTINGS.

Two of the largest castings in
the world are to be seen at Nara and
Kamakura, Japan, the one at the lat
ter place being forty-seven feet high,
and the other, at Nara, being 53a
feet from the base to the crown of
it's head. The statue at Nara is sup
posed to have been erected in the
eighth century, but it was destroyed
and recast about 700 years since.
In endeavoring to recast it several
mishaps occurred, and when at last
success came, some few thousand
tons of charcoal had been used.
The casting which is an alloy of iron,
gold, tin and copper, is estimated to
weigh $50 tons.

LARGE OR SMALL HORSES.

A question that seems too promi-
nent at present among farmers, is
the consideration of size and weight
in breeding, as though we bred
horses as we do cattle, for the
amount of meat they produce. Our
Eastern farmers we'll know that
horse of 1000 Tbs weight or even
less will perform it's varied round
Of employment quite as eff
GENTLY and with less wear than
horse with 200 or 400 Tbs additional
weight. If the farmer wants to
raise colts for his own use from
mares of ordinary hight and weight
it is i'll advised to breed them to
stations of larger type, as the
progeny is more likely to show de-
fects in build or gait. One point
must not be lost sight of, that the
dam controls size in offspring more
than the sire. The Percheron has
been bred to what he now is by
Arab stations and large mares.
Shall we not make a mistake by
working in the opposite direction
with large stations and small mares?
[ have a list of examples to that
feet in my recollection of breed
ing during the past forty years.
prominent among them was small
Canadian mare which gave her first
foal the year she was bought. The
colt proved coarse ungainly brute
and was sold for cart horse at a
low price. The mare was afterward
bred to a small but good stallion,
and her colts proved every way
good and sold at high prices. If
we know what we want, we shall be
more likely to succeed than if we
proceed in haphazard way.
We find ourselves in possession of
mares which rarely exceed 16 hands
high or 100 Tbs weight and very
many which reach us no more than
Is hands high with a weight of
900 Tbs. 1t cannot be expected that
farmers will to any great extent
change their mares, hence it follows,
what is best to raise from such
stock as we have? There seems to
be certain adaptation in growth
to the necessities of the land. Thus
we find large horses on the heavy
and productive land of Pennsylvania
and the Western States, while the
growth Of New England is of
smaller type.
When we examine the markets
and find the class Of horses which
sell at the highest prices, gentle
mems driving horses supersede all
others, excepting such as may be
trained for the track. Two hun
dred and fifty dollars buys a first
class work horse in any Of our mar
ket cities, although | have paid $3.50
for seventeen hands high and 400
pounds weight, to mate a team for
heavy draft. Such horses | found of
great value in hauling heavy loads
at walking gait and after keeping
one team in service eight years, l
sold them at an advance in price to
city brewer On the farm / find no
profitable place for horses of that
size and weight, nor do | think that
many farmers will find profit in at
tempting to breed them, and only
under favorable conditions.| III.

SENSIBLE TALK.

The BattleborO Ed gecombe coun-
ty) Headlight Of last week contains
a sensible editorial on the outlook
for cotton planters which it pro-
nounces exceedingly cheerless. The
crop in that section is of good quail
ity but the price low, and the ques-
tion with the planter is whether to
market now or wait for an advance
in prices which may not come. The
farmer who owes nothing and has
enough to eat at home may do this,
but the farmer who is in debt, or
fwho is compelled to purchase his
bread cannot do this. He must sell
regardless of price, whether the
crop brings enough to pay for his
Flabor or not. The fact is the profit
\ in cotton culture is becoming less
and less every year, if there be any
nrofit in it at all, which we do not
believe there is, for with few excep-
ftions, the crop costs as much or
more to make than it brings on mar
ket. The only escape from impend-
ing ruin is in diversified farming
AS the Headlight we'll says ave
mu ust resolve at once to abandon the
suicidal system and hereafter diver
sify our crops. With cribs filled
with grain, our pastures with cattle,
our barns with tobacco, our yards
with poultry, we have a full guaran-
tee of plenty for the future, regard
I q
ready cash we can manage to get
along very well without it until
another cotton crop is harvested.
It is so easy to do this that it does
seem strange that people will not do
it. We exist on scanty allowance
that Of the toughest kind-and
what, is worse still, are living with
out hope
1t is remarkable, very remarkable,
that farmers who expect to live by
the farm and lay up anything for
themselves or their children will
continue in the same old ruts year
after year and toll hard in raising
the same crop which in one year
out of five doesnot pay for the actual
labor and expense in producing it.
Welsay this is remarkable because
nobody but the farmer will continue
to produce that which does not pay
him for his time, labor and capital
invested. The manufacturer don't
do it. When there is over produc-
ton and prices run too low he
shuts down until the stock on hand
is reduced and prices advance. The
farmer alone does it and the cotton
planter seems to cling to it with
more pertinacity than others
There is hardly crop raised on
the farm that would not pay better
when the work is we'll done than
cotton. On average fair land corn,
wheat, oats, grass, potatoes, peas,
beans and many other things would
pay better, while the cultivation of
some Of these crops would improve
the lands and add to their value,
and at the same time supply the
farmer with his home supplies and

to a few years past. There has been

We copy in this impression an ar
ticle from the Henderson Cleaner, en-
dorsing our townsmen, Prof. j. W..
Rust, for Superintendent of Public
Instruction. Prof. Rust is being
urged by his friends in various sec
lions of the state to become a candi-
date for this very important Office,
and it is not improbable that he will
yield TO the pressure being brought
to bear and allow the use of his name.
He is not politician and will not re-
sort to the methods of professional Of
fice-seekers to further his claims, but
if the people of Kentucky want him
to be Superintendent of Public In
struction we feel confident that he
would accept the trust. The Second
Congressional District has no an
nounced candidates for state offices,
though her 5000 or 1000 Democratic
majority can always be relied upon to
help swell the party vote. Her DEM
ocrats are modest in their demands,
true as steel in their party affiliations,
and earnest in their advocacy of par
ty principles. Christian, the social
ed "Republican county," has not only
held her own in this year of general
apathy, but increased her Cleveland
vote 700 in August and nearly 400 in
November. Christian has never had
one of her sons elected to state Of
flee, and if she brings Prof. Rust out
and the Second District rallies to his
support-as it will do-the state con-
vention would be expected 10 give
him the nomination. Our $1,000 DEM
ocratic votes are entitled 10 represen-
tation on the state ticket, and with
the backing of his district Prof Rust
would be winning candidate.
