From all sections of our State and of the South comes the assurance from the alliances that they are 2 ing to plant less cotton, use less guanos, incur less debt and make more of home supplies. The farmer who has his barn well stored and his own meat and bread and is free from liens and mortgages, can bid defiance to trusts and combines and heartless speculators. These are worth more to him than whole warehouses of mortgaged cotton, and if the alliance shall teach our people only this great and all-important truth and should die tomorrow. it's mission would in- deed be one of grand achievement. Home-raised supplies is the only true and safe basis of solid independ- ence for our farmers. We bid the alliance men God speed in this grand work of agricultural orm!- Pro- gressive Farmer.

AGRICULTURAL.
Farm Note s.

One of the essentials of soiling is fertile soil.
 Every farm ought to have its eX- perimental patch.
 The early killed is the easily killed weed. and the weed that robs the crop least.
 If you are careful to keep the fur rows straight, you will do faster and and better blowing.
 A diversity of crops distributes work, receipts and expenses, more evenly through the year and through the years.
 A hen of the large breed should not lay less'than from 11O to l20 eggs. the small breeds from l30 to l75; any that lay less eggs than that should not be kept.
 Always select your horse for spe- clal work required. The heavy draft animals are best for farm purposes. TrotteIs are intended for the road more than for drawing heavy loads.
 The best butter cloth is parchment paper It is practically air, water and greese proof, and does not stlck to the butter. When you wrap your butter in parchment paper consumers can not speculate whether the butter cloths began life as part of shirts or sheets.
 The smaller the field the more fence required and the more land taken from cultivation. ..The more oblong the field, the more fence re- quired to enclose a given area; con- versely, the nearer square is the field the less fence is required.- American Agriculluralist.
 The young man who remains or the farm and intelligently and indus triously cutivates the same, will stand far better show of gaining 2 competency than the farmers sof who seeks employment in the city Again, the success of the country is based upon the prosperity of the farm and the abundance of it, products. and if the farmers ano their sons will stand by the home farm, there IS money for them.
 Keep your harness oiled and soft if you would prevent the hair rubbing off of your horses sides and hips and by all means keep the collars soft and see that they do not rub of the mane. It is dangerous for ; horse to become sore on the neck Horses feet will become diseased standing on manure. We know ont farmer who has collected from tho woods sufficient quantity of leaves t' bed his horse all winter, he pronoun ces that better than straw. Sawdus is not good. but is better than nc bed.
 If you can make the land you arc now cultivating produce twice a: much of crop per acre, IS 1t no better to do so than to buy another farm to double your acreage as yot are thinking of doing? In the tirs case you get as much produce a' you would from the two, have nc more taxes to pay than now and have the money you would have paid fol the second farm. Don't say it can not be done. for it can. The average crop of the west is less than half as much as can easily be raised on oul rich soil. Farm better.
