THE CABARRUS COUNTY FAIR.

EDITOR FARMER:-As is known to
the greater part Of your readers,
Cabarrus county has, for years, been
successfully conducting two agricultu-
raj fairs. Poplar Tent Fair on the
west side of the county and St. Johns
Fair on the east side; each seven miles
from Concord. One representing the
Scotch Irish and the other the Ger
man element of our population. The
citizens of Concord said to these two
associations in the spring: w will
buy you ample grounds lear the town
and give it to you, if you will con
solidate your two associations and
hereafter annually hold your Fair
there" This generous proposition
was accepted, and the consolidation
perfected on the 23d of June last, by
the organization of the "Cabarrus
County Agricultural and Mechanical
Fair Association" It was not a stock
concern, but simply, as the name i'm
plies an association, and the proceeds
of the Fair will be held to pay pre-
miums and necessary expenses and
the surplus, if any, will be used for
the purpose of increasingly the premiums
hereafter, perpetuating the Fair, and
adding to its usefulness. By the terms
of the constitution, it must be man
aged by the farmers of the county.
Two-thirds of the members and a ma
jority of the officers must be farmers.
W. have erected all the necessary
buildings, including grand stand,
agricultural, horticultural and floral
halls, an extensive machinery shed
and cattle sheds, pens, etc. Besides
we have laid off and scientifically con
structed one of the best half-mile
tracks to be found anywhere. -..s
The Fair will be held on the 9th,
10th, 18th and 18th of October. H.
7. j. Ludwig, Esq, Mt. Pleasant,

- Col. L. L. PoLK.-Deas Sr:-I am
presuming a great deal but hope you
will pardon me for sending you a few
notes from Derita Alliance, No. lat.
We have sixty names enrolled, and
still they come, The Alliance is in a
very fourishing condition, and we are
striving to better our condition. We
think the Alliance is the very thing
to do it. We meet the first Saturday
in every month, and after ~transacting
our regular business, We have some
very interesting and instructive re-
marks from our worthy Lecturer, W.
M. Vandiver, and sometimes from
others.
The President of the County ALI
ance is also our President, and | will
just add that he is also a candidate for
the Legislature from this county.
Some of the merchants are making
some very spiteful remarks about our
ORDER, say that i. is a scheme to de-
fraud the merchant. | think they do
not understand our object; if they
did, they would not talk SO, but if it
is a cheating game, wouldn't time
about be fair play? They have not
exactly cheated US, but they have
taken a mighty big per cent. from us,
especially from those buying meat,
-four, &C., on time to work the "crap.'
I will say right here, brother farmers,
if you would succeed you MUST raise
your own supplies. ."-,- O. 2""@> i.".
The Alliance is a step in the right
direction, but SO long as you have to
mortgage your crops for supplies, the
Alliance nor anything else car help
you to any great extent. The corn
crop is short, and my advice is to
prepare your lands we'll and put in a
good crop of oats. My experience is
that one acre, we'll prepared and care
fully put in, will make more than
three acres carelessly done. - . r.
W. have. denounced the bagging
trust, but have come to no decision as
to what we will use, but we are de-
termined to use no bagging if We can
avoid it in any way. ->'-

IS ENSILAGE DANGEROUS TO
HORSES7 atf = -..3u

The Cincinnati ComercaaI Gazette
mentioned a report that several valua-
BILE animals (horses) had been killed
lei Loveland by the use of poisonous
ensilage. We have heard occasionally
of this sort Of casualty attributed to
the same source, and no doubt the
wastage of ensilage, that which is
reached by the air on the top and
sides of the pit, which is sour, partially
decomposed, and ought to be thrown
away would poison a horse or any
thing else. Probably a horse from
the smallness of his stomach would be
much more liable to injury from such
a u than a COW, but only gross
ignorance or carelessness would place
such food before any animal. The
percentage of such wastage to the
contents of the silo, in ordinarily well
preserved ensilage is very small and
it should be fed to the manure pile.
We don't believe that good ensilage
judiciously fed ever hurt a horse. DR..
Crum of T~ippecanoe, Miami Co., this
State, well known as an intelligent
farmer and a breeder of fine horses,
told us a few weeks ago that he car
ried his horses and colts through last
winter in excellent shape, his chief re-
lance being corn ensilage.-Farm and

Orange Co., N. c., Sept. II, 'Ss.
Col. l.. L.. PoLK.-Dedr SIR;
Having recently had the honor to be
elected Corresponding Secretary of
Fairfield Alliance, I will now let you
hear from US for the first time. Our
Alliance was organized last April,
with twelve members, and has grad
ually grown until at present we mum
Der forty members, and have several
applications which will be voted on at
our next meeting. The Progressive
FARMER is highly appreciated by the
members who take it,, and at every
meeting our worthy secretary com
mends the paper and s~olicits subscribT
ers. Thus far, entire harmony pre-
walls among u.s. Our meetings are
pleasant and profitable, and we hope
by, mutual conference and united
effort, to accomplish much good. Per-
sonally, we are not interested in the
fight with the bagging trust, las we
raise no cotton) but our sympathies
+ most heartily enlisted with those
who are engaged in the conflict, and
we sincerely hope they will triumph
in the end. We are trying to be very
careful in selecting members, and are
anxious to receive none except such
as are fully entitled to membership.
Very respectfully,

and thoughtful men, who are interested
in the. promotion of the agricultural
classes to. our, ,order;;9all such persons
we would cordially receive into our ~
ranks, and cheerfully extend to them
"the right hand of fellowship" We
believe chat those who are not with
us are against u.s." and we know that
we are antagonized as an Alliance by
designing men all around us and near
us, but this opposition only snowsthat
we are at work and are accomplishing
something; otherwise we would not
be noticed.
y The influence of our Alliance has
been felt throughout our entire com
munity, and we have experienced
some Improvement, mentally, morally,
socially and financially, and are fully
alive to. all our interests. We are
fighting to maintain the principles OF
the Alliance and endeavoring to en-
large its scope, fully recognizing the
fact, at least in our opinion, that the
ultimate success Of our order is the
only hope for the future prosperity OF
the. agricultural classes, and that the
prosperity of our common country is
almost entirely dependent upon the
success of the farmer. We are waging
a vigorous warfare on the protective
tariff and take no stock in the bagging

ACTION OF FRANKLIN ALL
ANCE.

HARRELL's STORE, N. c., Sept. 9, 'SS.
EDITOR FARMER:-At our last meet
ing, Sept. Sth, the following preamble
and resolutions were adopted:
WHEREAS, Our sister Alliances, all
over the State, are passing resolutions
condemning the Cotton Bagging
Trust; and whereas, the Alliance must
be a unit in this fight, to make it sue
cessful; therefore
T Resolved, That we, the members of
Franklin Alliance, No. 74S, will not
use the article known as "jute bag
ging" in baling our cotton if any
substitute for same a be had.
RESOLVED, That our Business Agent
be instructed to investigate and find
what is the best substitute that can be
procured. 5..a ~ ,-.s.
dJ Resolved, That all members of the
Alliance, and all farmers, whether
members or not, be urged to enlist
with us in this fight against an out
rageous monopoly, and that these
resolutions be published in The Pro.
GREssIvE FARMER"
It seemed to be the sentiment of
the meeting that the cotton should be
covered with some material made
from cotton, even if it cost more than
the jute 5bagging. Burlaps was men.
toned, and it was suggested that that
was manufactured by the same com
panies that form the Trust, if not from
the same material. We would like
some information in regard to that.
Our ginners say they can bale cot.
ton very neatly by using %homespun
and a few fine Stats, at intervals, on
the sides. It is hoped that the Ali.
ance throughout the State will settle
on this or some other definite plan for
baling the cotton, without using d
yard of jute bagging. If we get
whipped in this fight, the probability
is that weakened and discouraged, we
will not make as strong an effort againl
and in this war against outrage and
