South was the most injurious policy
that could possibly have been adopted
for that section as, in the language of

South should remain solid, it will in
cur the chances of being placed in per-
petual minority, and eventually shut

sometimes rings a little more. But
they must have the cattle and the
hay to make the manure, or their
farms will retrograde.
There is just this apparant differ
ence between the special object OF a
New England and North Carolina
farmer. The Yankee farms with a
special view of increasing the produc-
tiveness of his farm, while the Sonth-
erner farms with a special view to
getting all the crop possible that year.
And the results of the Yankee mode
are from SO to 100 bushels of corn
per acre and from to 5 gallons OF
milk from each COW per day.
The surprise of the New England
farmer is great when told that we Can
raise two crops of potatoes on the
same land the same year, or crop OF
wheat and corn or potatoes.
The superiority of Northern farms,
modes and appliancesis is not the result
of superior land, stock or people, but
the result of close contact, and
sharp competition; the resVH q
necessity. Then why should our farm
ers, with climate and other things
greatly in their favor, wait for neces'
sity to force them to the adoption OF
modes and management necessary to
place Southern farming where it be-
longs, ahead of the world?
Experimenting in farming frequent
ly pays. The eastern Virginia and
North Carolina truckers have been
sending hundreds of thousands Of dol
lars to New Jersey every spring for
seed potatoes, because seed raised from

ALIMIT TO CORPORATE RIGHTS

The decision of the United States
Supreme Court, recently announced in
the Fllbert street case, appears to de-
termine finally that no chartered
rights of q railroad company can ex-
clude it from control by the Legisla-
ture in the public interest, or can per-
nit it to escape subjection to the con-
stitution of the State, or allow it TO
avoid payment of damages for the
consequences when it occupies on
verges upon a public highway in such
a manner as to injure private proper
ty. 1t is not possible here to consider
all the far-reaching consequences of
this important decision, even if, in
deed, they could just now be fully
discerned. The matter that seems to
us of most concern is, if we rightly
understand the decision, that it will
operate to put the railroads of Penn
sylvania at once under the iurisdic-
tion of the constitution of the State
without regard for any voluntary ac-
ton upon their part. Thus far some
OF the railroads have clung fondly to
the theory that they could set the
fundamental law of the State at def
ance so long as they did not seek for
new legislation under it's provisions.
Thus article seventeen, which forbids
discrimination against persons and
places and the issue of passes to others
than the officers of the companies, has
for fifteen years been treated with
contempt by the Pennsylvania Rail-
road Company, to the serious hurt Of
the interests of Pennsylvania and of
Philadelphia. It will be a most
fortunate circumstance indeed If
the decision of the highest
tribunal in the country shall have the
effect to put this insolent and domi-
neering and unscrupulous corporation
where it ought to be, into the position
of servant rather than of master Of
the people and into positive subjection
to law which cannot be just if it is
not universal in its supremacy. The
people are making headway against
corporate power. We shall have our
masters transformed into servants
after awhile. The Belt Line Railroad
scheme is an instrument with which
we shall further relax the deadly grip
with which the railroad holds this city
of Philadelphia. PhszadeEpAsa Name

THE BUSINESS AGENCY FUND

Mr.. EDITOR Bro, Rogers of
Northampton makes suggestion as
to the mode of raising the Fund,
which l published for the informa.
tion of the brethren, who can adopt
it if it meets with their approval.
Where a member prefers let him in
stead Of money contribute 10 lbs of
lint cotton or its equivalent in seed.
Members to deliver the cotton to the
Business Agent of their Alliance or
the gin where they have their cot
ton packed. If there is enough to
make bale let the Business Agens
have it packed or if not enough for a
bale if he has no convenient market
for "loose lint, he can make bale
by uniting with he ginner or some
brother. The Business Agent will
sell the cotton and send me the money
with list of the names of contribu.
tors and amount of each. Tobacco
could be contributed in some way,
delivering it to the Business Agent
of Sub Alliance who would pack and
sell. Wheat also could be delivered
to the Business Agent who could
take one or more loads and dispose of
it. There is no excuse for not con-
tributing. If you have the sOtU the
way is certainly to be found, al
though money may be scarce.
Remember well and bear in mind
that Article II, Business Agency
Fund provides that after January lst,
1890, only contributors to the fund
shall have its benefits free of cost.
And the Executive Committee are
obliged to execute it. If you desire it's
benefits contribute your share to its
creation. w. A. GRAHAM.

LIFE LENGTHENINc.

Human life is estimated to have
heightened 25 per cent. 1uring the
last half century. "The average Of
human life in Rome, under Caesar,
was eighteen years." says DR.. Todd,
OF Georgia "now it is forty. The
average in France fifty years ago was
twenty eight; the mean duration in
1867 was forty FIVE and one-haH
years. In Geneva during the thiE-
teenth century a generation played
its part upon the stage and disappeared
in fourteen years; now the drama re-
quires forty years before the curtain
falls. During the golden reign of
good Queen Bess, in London and all
the large cities of merry old England,
fifty out of one thousand paid the last
debt to nature yearly, which means
instead of three score and ten, they
averaged but one score. Now, in the
city Of London, the average is forty

WOLVERINE.

Mr.. EDIToR:-With your permis-
sion [ will give the readers of your
excellent paper the benefit of some
things which [ observed and which
impressed me very much while North
this fall attending number of North
ern Fairs, with an exhibit of Southern
products, sent out by the Southern
Inter States immigration Bureau.
The object of this exhibit North, be.
ing for the purpose of impressing
them favorably with our country and
climate, that they may come among
us and buy up our spare lands and
develop manufactures, sc, gave me
an opportunity to learn more of the
details of their mode of farming than
/ could otherwise have had. Their
land is not naturally more fertile than
ours. 1t is more fertile because they
make it SO and keep it so. They
would just as soon expect to get milk
from a COW that was not fed, as to get
good crops from land that was not
manured. And they do not use com
mercial fertilizers, either. They say
that commercial fertilizers mean ex-
hausted lands. They make their own
manures, and thereby increase the
producing ooaOer of their land. They
begin at the bottom, and manage the
farm with special view of making
the manure pile as large and valuable
as possible
To this end they give great promi-
nence to the raising of grasses and
forage of all sorts. Hay literally and
judiciously fed to stock IN winter,
produces fat beeves for market in the
spring, which is cash. It produces
plenty of milk and butter, which is
also money. It produces the best of
manure, which means rich land. But
you say they get good prices for their
mlk and butter. They may re-
gard the prices good, but you would
not. These very farmers seldom realize
over four cents per quart for their
milk, and frequently, at certain sea
sons, have to take less than two cents
per quart; and they seldom get over
twenty cents per pound for butter,
except for the golden gra les which
