Speculation has recently arisen
regarding the origen of the term
"Uncle Sam" as applied to the
United States government.
In the war of 1912, between this
country and Great Britain, Ebert
Anderson, of New York, purchased
in Troy, N. K, large amount OF
pork for the American army.

view to investment.
/. The farmers of that section have
mortgaged their lands heavily to Dor
row money. These mortgages are
held by capitalists in Boston, New
York and other Eastern cities-ob-
tanned through agents who have been
operating among these farmers. ( The
farmers Ire now hopelessly involved.
The great depression in values and
other encumbrances have left them
utterly unable to redeem these mort
cages. The shrewd English capitalist
comprehends the desperate situation
and now he gets up a syndicate,
which proposes to invest $4,000, 900
in these mortgages with the view of
gobbling up. these farms by an jmme-
date foreclosure. And thus it goes.

THE STATE ALLIANCE ON JU.TE
~ BAGGING.

THE following resolutions on jute
IL bagging were unanimously adopt
ed by the North Carolina State Farm,
ers' Alliance:
WHEREAS, It was resolved by the
Convention of the National Alliance
and Wheel, held in the city of Biz
mingham on the 18th of May, 1889,
to adopt the permanent use of cotton
bagxing as covering for cotton; and
whereas, it was further resolved that
we adopt such measures as might be
deemed proper to carry into effect the
action of said Convention; and where
as, the action of said Birmingham
Convention has been approved and
ratified by the NC. Farmers State
Alliance at its present session; there
fore be it a
Resolved, That we do pledge our
selves to stand to and abide by the
action in this respect, both of the
National and State Alliance.
ResolUed, That we pledge ourselves
not to use at any time or in any way;
new or unused jute bagging as cover
ing for our cotton, and in such cases
where cotton bagging cannot be OBJ
tanned in sufficient quantity to supply
our wants, that we will use some other
covering-always adhering to our
pledge, never, under any circumstances,
to resort to the use of new or unused
jute bagging.9
RESOLVED, That we call upon all our
farmers and all good men throughout
the land, to aid and support US in this
effort to break up and put down this
Ubiquitous fraud, known as "Jute
Bagging Trust"
RESOLVED, That we again denounce
and condemn this Jute Bagging Trust
as an engine of oppression, designed
to cheat, Cypress and defraud our peo-
pie
Resolved, That we declare our judg-
ment to be, that any member of the
Alliance wilfully using jute bagging
is guilty of conduct unbecoming an
Alliance man; and we recommend
that any brother so offending, and
upon conviction of such offence, should
be suspended or expelled from the
order.
Adopted.

1T is EITHER "BULL-DozE" OR
x BRIDE.

XX7E are informed that the Jute
wv Trust is now offering to sell
jute bagging at 8 IL cents per yard
on time and is offering two dollars
per ton o. for cotton seed than
others will give. They attempted to
bull-doze and drive the farmers and
now that they are about to be defeat
ed, they would attempt to bribe them.
Those jute peddlars had better come
down and learn something about the
stuff of which these Southern farmers
are made. "
We can wrap every bale of cotton
made in the South this year in cotton
bagging if the farmers will stand
firmly by each other. This is not a
fight for victory over the bagging
trust simply for 1889, but it is whether
the cotton of the South shall here
after be marketed in cotton bagging.
Our farmers understand this and they
are not to be drlven or bribed.

COTTON SEED MEAL AND
SHELLS AS A FEED FOR
CATTLE AND SHEEP.

WYE return thanks to DR.. G. w.
w Dabney, President of the Uni.
versity Of Tennessee for the Bulletin
of the Agricultural Experiment Sta.
ton, which we find of universal inter
est and value. We make extracts as
follows: ~
SUBJEcr-Cotton seed hulls and
meal as food for live stock:
At Memphis 5000 head of cattle
were maintained IN this way during
the last winter. At Little Rock,
Ark. 100 were fed and at TT. Smith
several thousand. At Houston, Tex,
about 1900 here were fattened last
winter. At Atlanta, Ca, about 5000
were fed. At Raleigh, NC, both
cattle and sheep have been fattened in
this way. :.
The process of separating the ker-
,nels of the cotton seed from the hulls
in the oil mills consists in crushing
and cutting the seed and dividing the
two portions by screens or shakers.
There has been no injurious effects
from the free and exclusive use OF, this
diet. All ages and conditions of cat
tie have been fed for beef. The best
season for feeding is in winter. The
feeding should last from three to four
months. Steers are preferable to
heifers, The average steer should re-
ceive from three, to four pounds of
meal daily during the whole time
just as many as the animal will eat.
Feed regularly. Nc excess of foods.
At Raleigh, N. c., the feed for $50
pound steer cost Z cents daily; at
Houston from 6 to 9 cents daily. Beef
so produced is of unusually fine quail.
ity. Hulls near Memphis have been
fed for hay or in place of it to dairy
stock. Cows soon learn to- prefer
hulls to hay. They cost about one
third as much as hay. At Raleigh a
few sheep were fed on huIls and meal
and made fine mutton. It istalso be-,
lieved that the dung from animals SO
fed gives better results. Gardeners
praise it much. 1t does not injure the
health of the animal. The diet seems
adapted to the production of beef and
mutton as we'll as milk. Average ra-
ton, Is pounds bulls and 5 "a pounds
of meal daily.
This very brief synopsis shows that
we ought to feed all our seed. Har.
ris On manure long ago pointed out
it's value. Lawes and Gilbert have
proved that the fertilizing matter is
not lessened by feeding. q.as.
The farmer can now get at a cost
of $50 a machine that will hull and
separate the seed and hulls. He can
then feed and have the benefits for
food and have the benefits for manure
and have no handling, no shipping
and save all the manurial value otthe
seed.
We are glad that our people are
saving and feeding cotton seed. We
have fine pastures, fine native grasses
and now we can, supplement those by
using meal and hulls. svs.a RI %

BE ON H ALERT.

,THEREi is a pressure on the farmer
u to convince him that he should
sell his cotton early. We say to our
friends that this is the game of the
enemy. If they induce the farmer to
sell early they hope to accomplish two
important objects by it. First, that
he will wrap it in jute bagging and
thus aid to perpetuate the robbery of
the farmer, and secondly, if they can
get the farmers to rush their cotton
on the market, as has been their GUS
tom, it would place a supply in the
hands of spectators, by which they
could control the market by dealing
it out as demanded by the manufac-
turing world and thus continue to
secure the greatest profits. If the
farmers Of the South are wSse they waU
abolish the custom or rule Of givtmg liens,
mortgages. and notes, to mature on the
first Of Novem6er. Let the farmers
hold every pound Of cotton Except just so
much as may be required to meet their
obligations as they become due. And
let them resolve and agree that all
their accounts, hereafter, shall ma
ture at the end of the year. Let the
Alliance look into this matter and dis
cuss it in their meetings before the
time arrives to make contracts.

that an address to the people on Fri
