There are only two forms of pain which

creatures, which men feel as strongly as
women. end animals more keenly than
both, and which human beings, whether
refined or degraded, absolutely refuse to
endure; and those two are hunger and
thirst, the two grand impeIling forces of
the world. Without those two pains,
there would be no world such as we
know it. The wild animals would saun-

beast, released alike from hunger and the

CAPT. BENEHAN CAMERON.

fine representative of that splendid

We note that Capt. Cameron has
recently made a extensive tour of
the New England States and of New
Jersey and New York, investigating
the systems and methods of agricul-
ture but giving special attention to
the most noted stock farms. We
learn that he visited the celebrated
Robinson estate in Rhode Island and
those of A. B. Darling and T. A!

JUSTICE AT +LAST-FARMERS

We have only space in this issue to
note the great fact that the Senate has
passed the bill of the House making
the Department. of Agriculture one of
the executive departments of the gov
eminent. We will now have a repre-
sentative and a voice in the Cabinet.
We can now reach the ear of Con
gress. At last the great agricultural
interest of the United States is recog-
nized as the equal Of other interests,
and the farmers throughout this broad
land are to be congratulated. It is
the most important act for the farm
ers, that has ever been placed on the
statute books Of this government. The
PROGRESSIVE FARMER halls this act of
justice with delight.

THE FLOODS AND THE CROPS

r IE.t2ST 81 1E rITF~I fff.*T ~ttEI3%Ftt
Within the past four veeksrthe
iof the South have been dam
aged bysrain and foods to the extent
of millions of dollars The continuous
rains and warm weather caused the
cotton to sprout that had opened, and
this, with the dense shade of the
heavy foliage is rfotting The bolIs. The
estimate Of our most intelligent farm
ers is, that the crop in North Carolina
has been damaged at least Is per cent.
within the past month. Peas.thatare
matured are rotting in the pod. The
drought that had prevailed over large
sections Of the State, cut short the
crop of upland corn, and the recent
floods hsve'ed destroyed the elow-lands.
But evident good often comes from
apparent evil. In this case, when the
farmer is brooding over his losses, let

PLAIN THOUGHTS IN PLAIN
WORDS.

The Alliance was called into exist.
ence by combination of forces which
threaten to paralize the agricultural
energies of the South. One of these
is the credit system. Brethren in the
wheat growing sections of the State
are writing us as to the best methods
for buying fertilizers for that crop,
and how they IAN arrange to buy on a
credit. Our opinions is, that if the
Alliance expects to curtail the ruinoous
credit system it must begin somewhere
and at some time. If we must obtain
credit, let it be on money and not on
goods of any. kind. If an Alliance or
a member can make a note which will
be accepted for goods it will be &C.
cepted for money. If we can make a
note for one. thousand dallars to q
merchant or manufacturer, for goods
on which we pay a profit of thirty.
three per cent. we certainly can make
q note for seven hundred and fifty
dollars, which with eight per cent.
added would be the cash value of the
one thousand dollars. In other words
the $50 cash would buy the same
amount as the $1,000. on credit.

WHAT 1T WILL DO

r. Three millions of farmers are fight
ing the bagging trust. The result il
not in doubt. They are terribly in
earnest. 1t has put them to thinking
They now find out that every bale oil
American cotton shipped to Liverpool
y land three-fourths of our entire cror
goes there) is subjected to a tare OF
about ~ pounds, which of course is q
dead loss to the cotton farmer who
sold it. The deduction in price is
made here so as to cover the tare in
Liverpool. Our farmers thought by
buying heavy bagging they were
making a profit on it, but their eyes
are now opened to the fact that they
have been losing it all at the other
end of the line. They are looking
around and are devising plans for put
ting the cotton on the market in their
own way. At n time they are told
they must put "strips" on the sides
OF the bale; at another time an order
is issued that they must not "strip it,
and if it weighs less than the bosses
prescribe, it will not be bought at all.
And now the robbers band together
and order them to use nothing but
jute bagging and that they shall pay
to them a bonus of several millions
for the gracious privilege o fsusing
jute. The agitation of this subject will
reveal to the Southern farmer some
of the hidden or neglected sources of
his strength. Already we have found
that we can grow jute abundantly,
successfully and economically. We
can make an excellent wrapping of
our long-leaf pine straw; we can cover
it with wood; We can make it of Sisal,
of Saw Palmetto, of Brazilian lilly,
which grows along our Southern coast
in quantities to cover, every season,
fifty millions of bales and better than
all we can utilize all of our poorer
grades of cotton in this way. The
