The Alliance has begun to make
itself felt in the fight against wrong,
In Columbia the cotton wcighcrs
have been charging 60 cents por
bale, when tho law allowed only 10
cents. a few days since the Miller
Bros, the largest cotton buy ers, were
notified that they would be prose-
cuted if they continued to violate
the law. An Alliance man sold them
a bale, and they charged 20 cents for
weighing, the money was paid under
protest, and proceedings were i'm
mediately begun against the firm.
We shall watch the case with inter
est, and hope to soc the violator of
the law punished. The farmer has
been Systematically defraudcd, and
it is time that halt should,be called,
and even justice metcd out to ali
alike. The farmer is the oEly bust
ness man who has never been allowed
to set price on what he offers for
sale !; and now some money kings are
attempting to force him to use GER
tain kind of covering for his cotton,
and to compel him to pay an exhor-
bitant price for that covering. We
like the sentiment uttered by young
farmer, EVEN use cotton bagging if
we loose $500 per bale" Let the
good work go on, and never give
over the fight till SUCCESS crowns the
efforts to assert the right. .-Easley

Very Aptly Spoken.

One Of the largest, wealthiest and
most successful bankers in the coun-
try remarked the other day, on being
rallied on account of his liberal and
extensive advertising patronage in
newspapers, Il would sooner take
down my sign than discontinue my
advertising. You must catch the
public eye if you expect to catch the
public purse, and the standing news
papcr advertisement, when changed
frequently, is better, cheaper, and a
thousand times more effective than
reading notices or circulars. There
is no business so high, 50 strong, or
so exclusive that it cannot be beno-
ilted by advertising. I would as
soon think Of doing business without
clerks as without newspaper adver-
tising."

hands. viz The complete immersion
OF the wheat to be sown in a strong
solution OF blaestone water and its re-
naming there for two or more hours.
My practice Is to dry with land
plaster. which though small in guam
tity helps the wheat growth. l use
about one pound of bluestone to six or
eight gallons of water. and then pre-
serve this liquor for the next soaking
and adding more water and bluestone
as needed. pulverize the bluestone
and dissolve it in small quantity
OF hot water before putting it
where the wheat is TO be soaked.
An otherwise good farmer brought
me a bunch of smut heads and declared
that he had soaked his seed in blue
stone. I asked him If he did it BY i'm
mersion or sprinkling; he said by
sprinkling, but that he knew that he
had wet every grain. 1 told him he
could not know such fact except by
a complete immersion. and even then
the water should have several hours
to complete its work of penetrating
the crevice in the side and the fuzzy or
hairy end OF the wheat grain. These
are homes of the supposed smut germ,
and l am disposed to think that the
caustic solution must come in actual
contact with all the smut there con-
cealed before complete preventive
has been used. l speak of these things
because now is the time to decide

A WORTHLESS GARMENT.
A Savage Tries to Turn Newspaper Into
Wearing Apparel.

a Savage Tries to Turn Newspapsr Into
Wearing Apparel.
When savage people first come in
contact with the whites none of the
wonders that they sec IL regarded with
more suspicion than large sheets OF
paper. The native Is apt to regard the
paper az q sort Of cloth, and the fact
that 1t tears easily and is worthless for
most Of the purposes to which cloth Is
put convinces him that it il fraud.
One or two Congo travellers have told
of the disgust with which the natives
at first regarded paper. The Congo
tribes, by the way, are on the lookout
for sharpers. and 1t is pretty hard
work for anybody to sell them . bad
quality of cutlery or cloth. Savages
soon find. however, that paper is not
intended to serve the purpose of cloth.
Then they cease to look upon IL as q
fraud, but they do not think it ranks
high among white mans manufactures,
and they have little use for it.
A while ago Mr.. Lumholtz was trav-
cling in the interior Of Queensland,
Australia. where he met many natives
who had never seen a white man be-
fore. One day crowd of natives were
in the white mans camp carefully in
speoting the explorer and his baggage,
when q Newspaper happened to drop.

folded and spread 1t ON the ground.
They decided that It must be an arti-
Gle Of wearing apparel, and one Of
them tried It on. He wrapped it
around his shoulders like a shawl and
sat down on the ground, arranging his
covering this way and that, and WATCH
ing the faces of his crowd to see what
they thought of his elegant garment
covered as it was with many Thousands
Of curious marks.
Presently, however, an accident
happened. While the savage was ar
ranging his shawl and trying to bring
the corners Il front Of him the garment
began to tear at the nape OF his
neck. A howl from the crowd called
attention to the disaster. The blanket,
or whatever It was, was evidently
made Of the poorest sort Of material.
The savage took his covering on,
examined the mischief he had wrought
made the tear little longer. and then
with his finger poked hole through
the paper. That settled the fact that
the article was worthless. The news
paper suddenly lost all interest for the
natives. who turned their attention to

smut In Wheas---Its Cause and Rem

In view of the fact that great many
fields Of wheat are this year injured by
smut, farmers are discussing the causes
and remedies for it
A few days since was talking over
these matters with an intelligent neigh
Dor (for / have that kind), and we
compared our opinions and experience.
An examination had shown us that
wherever we had found one smut head
all the heads produced from same grain
we're smut, and so we concluded that
We must look to the grain for the cause
of smut We decided upon four pro-
lific causes of smut: First If we sowed
smut we raised smut Second. il we
sowed even good wheat in land too wet
to be worked we raised smut Third,
IL we sowed wheat too late in the sea-
SON we raised smut Fourth, if we
sowed very feeble grain, whether
that feebleness came from the wheat
being unripe when harvested or any
other cause, we would raise more or
less smut.
We also agreed that travelling wheat
threshers carried the smut germ from
one farm to another. But We disa-
greed as to the assertion that wheat
grains cracked and bruised by ma
chimes would produce smut
We decided that it was not the bust
