and bran or meal for milk cows, and
I know from experience that it is
equal ito both corn and fodder for
horses for I have had horses and
mules to make a crop, being fed on it
three times a day and nothing else for
three months, and keep in as good
condition as when fed on grain. : -
This sounds like a great deal to
claim for grass, but when the depth
to which its ,tap-root penetrates the
'sbl and -sub-soil, feeding all winter,
when other crops are standing still
or not planted, and when the hot sun
and summer drought comes it has
this advantage again over any other
crop, it does not seem too much to
claim for it. 1 have never known it
sown with small grain or anything.
The land should be clear of any
foul growth and put in thorough con
dition as TO deep blowing and pulyer.
ization./ The best time for seeding is
from first to middle of March, when
it is too late to be in much danger of
cold while tender, and early enough
to get strong before the SUI gets hot
enough to burn it. Be sure of stand
ct first, if not, with us, crab grass and
weeds will take3up the open spaces.
If the land is in proper condition at
seeding, a crop will be taken the first
season. This crop ought not to be cut
till the bloom begins to dry. This gives
the root time to get good hold before
being exposed to the heat of the sum-
mer sun. I top dress lucerne with
stable manur every winter.

Independent men living, and it they
are not SO, the fault is their own.
But don't suppose that by merely
joining the Farmers Alliance, or any
other organization, your pockets are
going to be filled with money or your
cribs with corn. You must make
good use of, the means that God has
blessed you with, and while using
those means together with the means
that the Alliance points out to you,
you can, if you will, become much
better and more independent men

Dear Sir.-While many of US agree
with the ideas expressed by our County
Alliance and the Farmers Convention
that we should unite for organ,
The PROGRESSIVE FARMER, yet some Of
us feel backward in attempting to
bring our ideas before the public.
1t is of the greatest Importance
that the farmers of North Carolina,
and other States too, have a good
newspaper through which they can
communicate with each other and
keep posted in regard to work.
the Farmers Alliance. And it is also
very important that the farmers sup
port such a paper, for without support
we cannot have it-by paying for
it promptly, reading it carefully, and
those who can should write for it
when they feel that by doing 80 they
may benefit some M who reads it.
Now we have the paper in North
Carolina, and we have the man at the
head of. it who is able and willing to
make it a success if he receives that
support and encouragement which he
is entitled to. The price is low, and
we al make it a power that will be
felt if we will only support it as we
ought. '>
The Farmers Alliance in Mecklen-
burg county is in a fourishing con
dition. The sub-Alliances first organ
lied r strong enough to do good
work, and the order is spreading into
all parts of our large county. Among
our members can be found some of
our best men.
The PROGRESSIVE FARMER was we'll
represented at our first County ALI
meeting at Derita last fall, when
most of us felt as we used to do when
we entered a new school with a new
teacher and strange boys, and I am
sure that the Alliance men of old
Mecklenburg will join me in extending
to the same brethren an earnest invi-
tation> to meet with us at Hickory

work. as we, know you a. do.

I am thoroughly convinced that you
are doing a great and the most needed
work to the American people, under
the present existing condition of the
majority. That you are making such
unprecedented progress in the work
of organizing is certainly q cause for
great pleasure and hope to those who
love and cherish the principles by
which your order or brotherhood is
actuated; and 1 pronounce myself as
such an n
I am convinced that thorough or
~ganization is the only means of effect
ing good. I ann a farmer, and while
their grievances have been patent to
me for several years, no avenue of
even. partial relief has been worthy of
consideration until it was found in
your Alliance work. [ believe that
this order, if properly worked, has
before it a field in which it will do
more to establish free government
by and for the majority of the people
than any and all things have done
since the writing of the Constitution

notice in your last number FEB.
23d) a letter On lucerne, by A. II. M,
Moroni, Utah. Your worthy CORES
pondent makes some good argument
in favor of lucerne, most of which is
true, but he makes some mistakes,
which ] think, as a North Carolina
farmer, | ought to notice and correct,
or If | fail to correct, draw attention
to, for the benefit of those who. may
be beginners in the use of this lucerne,
the greatest of all grasses. We must
all concede that there are various and
serious differences of conditions in
Utah and North Carolina, so while all
he says may hold good for Utah, some
of it is not good for North Carolina.
First, the greatest mistake he makes
is careless seeding. 81 Thisuis a risk
that, should be- taken with no grass,
especially lucerne. In the first place,
the seed are very costly; and secondlys
there is such a loss by. missing a crop.
The land on which it is put should be
as good as ~the~farm4Aas and well
drained, The reason it, should. be on
the best land is, that it is the best pay

the better the land, the greater the
return. Land can't be too rich, al it
never falls down, and the richer the
land the quicker and heavier, the.

years standing on a piece of ground,
