GOOD WORK IN ALABAMA.

A staff correspondent of the Atlanta
Constitution gives an interesting ac-
count of the successful work of the
Alabama Agricultural College at
Auburn in that State. In 1882 there
were but two students taking the
agricultural course in the college.
Now there are l04 exclusively agri-
cultural students. Great interest is
evinced everywhere in the expert
ments of the station, and the horticul-
tural results are, perhaps, equal to
those Of any institution in the Union.
The oily department., while not large,
is very complete. The agricultural farm
is used as laboratory to impress the
college lectures upon the students,
who have to work twelve hours a
week in the field and pass nine hours
in the lecture-room It has now come
that boys who have the prospect of
owning farms make it point to pass
a course in college in order to fit
themselves for it. Nine. .tenths of the
graduates follow the profession for
which they were educated, and many
of them have thus early attained sue
cess. In still another way the ex-
perimental stations are made useful
to the taxpayers. At least every
farmer in the State spends his vaca-
ton days in visiting the farm, where
he informs himself on points of doubt
and takes lessons which enable him to
work more satisfactorily at home.
Hundreds of farmers by visit to the
station have become thoroughly versed
in the manufacture of homemade
fertilizers. and Courier,

LETTER FROM FARMVILLE AL
LANCE.

Mr.. EDIToR:-As others have
undertaken to set forth the doings of
their respective Alliances, | deem it
not smiss should | let others know
that Farmville Alliance was organized
last September with six male mem
bers and that we now number forty
one males and seven females. We
have dimited only one and I do not
think any have been dismissed. We
have been meeting twice a month, on
the second and third Saturday after
Moons On the 18th we had public
installation and one of the best din
ners that has been served in Farm
vile in many years. We did not
have a public dinner but a quiet af-
fair to which Jacobs Branch Alliance
was especially invited and our mem
bers invited a few of their especial
friends.
But the best and most important
part of the programme wasan address

Franklin, N. c., and with Mr.. M. L..

proceeded to organize County ALI
ance. A Committee on Credentials
was appointed and reported the fol-
lowing Sub-Alliances duly repre-
sented: Holly Springs, Elijah, Sugar

At this point pithy little speech
was made by Mr.. w. L. Fortune, re-
garding Alliance papers and Country
Homes, The PROGRESSIVE FARMER
and The National Economist were
heartily endorsed, and adopted as our
organs. An ominous future awaits
the Alliance. The attendance was
large and everything was a success:
even a self-appointed bell-ringer, in
his whiskey paraphernalia, succeeded
in bringing himself into contemplate
notice.
The Secretary was instructed to
prepare a brief of the proceedings
for publication in The PROGRESSIVE
FARMER, and also request Country
Homes and The National Economist to
copy. J. K. BRYsoN,

left One of these elevators takes
people up, and the other takes them
down. They run as far as the second
landing. Here you have to change
for second elevator, which runs
straight up through the center to the
top-a dizzy height. Through the
open lattice work you can see the
country far below, as you ascend at
the rate of twenty inches per second.
There are also stairways in the lattice
work to the first gallery. These run
from side to side, but the stairs to the
second gallery are more circular, and
from the second stage to the top shey
consist of simple small iron steps
round and round one of the inside
pillars of the square which forms the
tower at the top. 1t costs two francs
forty cents) to ascend to the first
gallery, either on foot or in the eleva-
tors, and another franc is charged for
the second landing, with other fees to
go to the top.
OF course the plans for this great
work all had to be made before even
the foundations were commenced.
The design of every piece of iron and
of every bolt, and all the joints, was
perfected before a stone was laid.
There are over $4,000 pieces of iron
in the structure, and to rivet them to-
gether 1000, 900 holes were drilled.
The plans had to be so made that
these holes would all come together
properly, so that the rivets would fit
and the whole be safe and strong. In
deed, it took $500 sheets of drawings
showing how the pieces were put to-
gether, besides 500 designs by engi-
neers, to give correctness to the struc-
ture in its conception, and to guide in
It's erection. 1t cost about $1,300O,-
600. 1t is built on the Champ de
Mars near the river Seine, and is the
central figure in the great centennial
exhibition that the French nation has
now in progress. A company of cap
italists paid for the structure and own
the tower, having been given by Paris
the free use of the land on which it
stands for twenty years. AT the end
of that time the tower is to become
the property of the city without pay
Ement. But it is probable that long
before then the money. received for
admission fees to the tower will pay
for its cost several times over. At
night the tower is brilliantly illumin-
ated by gas and electricity, and from
the top revolving electric light
throws it's powerful rays all over the
great city and far into the surround
ing country. The vast array of foun-
tains on the Exhibition grounds, illu-
minated with varying colors also re-
fleet the bright rays of the highest
lamp in the world, and with the back

| will not attempt to give even syn
opsis of the speech, but am codfident
that the audience was both edited
and instructed and that Farmville
will not only gain new members but
that we will all be better Alliance
men for having listened thereto.
After the address the ladies, through
Prof. Duckett, of Granville College,
presented the speaker with very
handsome boquet. We think all ALI
ances would be the better for it if
they should have just such a meeting
as we had, at least once year. Our
Alliance proposes to have a social
meeting once every three months, at
which our wives and children and
friends are to be present. We want
our wives and children to get ac-
quainted; we want to break bread
with each one of our order; in fact,
we will do all in our power to make
country life less lonely, and home
more attractive.
came near forgetting to mention
that we had our "Colonel" to dine
with u.s. and that he seemed to enjoy
it hugely.
We are going to use cotton cover
ing for our cotton, but we shall not
need much, from the present outlook.
We have not had such poor prospect
for a cotton crop in ten years, at
least
We have contributed small amount
to the business agency fund and will
contribute literally this fall. We are
anxious for this agency to have
good sound financial standing, and
then we must have one, at least, supply
depot in every county. Then we can
begin to realize some palpable financial
benefit from our noble order which
we have not been able to do as we
have failed to get any merchant to
make any terms with us.
We like your paper, especially
"Old Fogy," and we wish you had
more such correspondents We eshould
be glad to have few articles from
experienced farmers weekly. We
want articles from men who are ex-
perts in farming, dairying, horse and
cattle breeding, etc.
Very respectfully,

Each one of The four corners on
which the superstrdcture rests is three
hundred feet square on the ground
and the foundations are sunk far into
the earth. So perfectly are the parts
of the tower adjusted, that the strain
on the foundation is no greater for
each square foot than that of the usual
five story house. The tower Is built
of iron, many of the pieces being
shaped like those employed in build
ing suspension bridges. These iron
girders are not great thick masses of
metal, but light and narrow ones, with
fanges on each side through which
the bolts run that put the whole to-
gether. It is very airy and open
structure, and therefore does not sway
in the wind. At distance it looks
much like lattice work. The first
gallery is $50 feet from the ground.
Hers are restaurants, halls for public
meetings, little stores and promenades.
The second gallery, at a height of 377
feet measures about 100 feet on each
side, and in addition to restaurants,
etc., contains a printing office, where
the Eiffel Tower edition of the Paris
Figaro is printed every day. There
is third gallery not shown in the en-
craving, at a height of SCI feet,
where there is room thirty-two
feet square, surrounded by a bal
cony. One hundred and twenty
four feet above this is the top room
and balcony. Two great elevators
run up in the corner of the tower

beneath the waves of oblivion never
to rise again.
At our last meeting the following
resolution was unanimously adopted: ::
Resolued, That we, the members of
Nicanor Alliance, do hereby tender
our thanks to the teacher and COM
mittee for the satisfactory progress Of
our school, which ended July 18th,
1889, and hope they will be encouraged
to press the work to the best of their
ability. And furthermore, that a
copy of this resolution be be sent to
the Teacher, one to the committee, and
one to ThE PROGRESSIVE FARMER for
publication.
Brethren, let us stand by each other
and be more united in thought and
deed than we have been heretofore,
and God will give us the victory.
Then will the old adage' "God helps
those who helps themselves, " be veri-
fed among US.
Let us put confidence in our officers,
our members and ourselves, and ere
long brighter day will dawn for the
poor down-trodden farmers of this So
called free land of ours.

Exposition reaches far above any
other work of man. Our picture
shows how it towers above the other
monuments of the world. It will be
seen that the Washington monument
is but little more than half as high as
the Effel tower, the latter being 800
meters or 9S4 feet in height. Con
