WHY IS FTP

Why is it that newspapers that

persist in sauttlng their eyes to the
real condition the farmer is IMP
Why is it that newspapers that
ought to be friendly to the farmer,
persist in saying that there is as much
money in circulation as there has been
for many years and that the financial
policy of our country is all right ?
Why is it that United States Sen
ators who have opportunities for
knowing the truth OF the matter have
admitted on the floor of the U. S.
Senate that we have less money in
circulation now than for 20 years, if
it is not true

WHAT IS THE USE OF AN EX.
PERTINENT STATION7

To benefit the agricultural industry.
How can it do this ?
To bear the expense and to conduct
work which will be useful to enter
prising farmers. Many of these often
iesire to investigate for themselves
but are prevented by expense and
lack of facilities At an experiment
station are employed scientific and
practical men who, with every facility,
devote their time in investigating
agricultural subjects.
What are these subjects -?
How can farming be made to pay !?
How can we improve our. worn soils
at minimum expense? ? How should
certain soils be tertilized to yield the
best crop? ? How can waste products
be saved and utilized ? Can new
plants be advantageously grown !?
The value of certain foods for cattle.
The best grasses for certain soils. The
dairy industry. The value of ensllage.
A study of the diseases and insects
affecting crops and the best methods
to prevent their ravages. Te determ-
inc the best varieties of grasses, fruits
and vegetables for the highest mar
kets. These and a score of kindred
subjects.
How long will it take to reach these
conclusions
Answers should not be expected in
short time. In many cases several
seasons of careful work will be neces-
sary. In the meantime the station
seeks to disse inmate valuable facts
and truths which will enable farmers
to make and save money.
Is the North Carolina Station at
Raleigh doing all this
Yes, and IN addition through the
fertilizer control it protects farmers
from the fraud in the sale of fertili-
zels. In this way it has already saved
them millions of dollars. In answer
ing correspondents, it is always ready
to give the best advice it can on agri-
cultural subjects
Dies the station print the result of
it's work
Yes. 1t issues frequent bulletins,
and an annual report. These are all
free to those who request them. By
valuable cooperation of the press of
the S ate, noses of the work of the
stat on are printed in their columns
from time to time.

The farmers that is, the members
of the Alliance-are different from
what they used to be. They don't
talk. Try to pump them about their
political plans, and you will find your
self doing all the talking. There's a
new spirit abroad among them. Whip
them back in the traces before elec-
tion Not this year. They may be
enticed back, but they are in no mood
for the party lash. There seems to
be two elements in the Alliance, one
for making it political machine and
the other for awaiting developments
In Howard county the political fac
ton started paper and tried to have
it endo, sed as the mouthpiece of she
:ounty organization. The conserva-
tive element squelched the scheme.

AS our State Alliance meets in
August, and there is but one more
regular county meeting intervening,
and in some sections only one or two
su meetings before The county meet
ing, let me make suggestion.
Suppose each Sub Alliance at it's
next regular meeting appoint a com
mittee on the State Constitution, and
let them give every article especial
consideration and recommend anv
amendment deemed necessary for the
betterment of the Alliance Let their
reports go up to the July meeting of
the ounty Alliances in order that
the delegates to the State Alliance be
informed or instructed how to act in
case of the usual multitude of motions
to alter or amend said constitution.
This would save much valuable
time and many rhetorical explosions
might be turned into other interesting
subjects.
We work for the success of The
PROGRESSIVE FARMER for that means
success to the Alliance, and that
means success to honest government
and happy people.

by the Alliance papers and Alliance
lecturers that the only remedy for the
suppression of trusts and monopolies
is in the ballot box, and | am very
sorry to say that neither of them, so
far as l know, have ever told the
people that that same remedy will
suppress the greatest Of all monopo-
ies-the liquor traffic. Why whip
the devil around the stump?" Why
not teach the people of the greater as
we'll as the lesser OF ruinous monopo-
lies Why not some of our Alliance
organs lay bare in some of its editori-
ais the effects Of the liquor traffic
upon the laOorers of tnis country ?

from one third of our voters cast

Mr.. BEDDINGFIELD AT Will.
SON.

Some days ago E. c, Bedding,
field, Esq. Secretary of the North
Carolina Farmers State Alliance, de.
Ilvered an address at the Wilson
County Cattle Show on Alliance
Educat1on.' lie Advance prints Mr..
Beddingfelds sPaoch in full. It's an
excellent speech-whether we have
regard to sentiment, style or rhetoric.
1t was sound, and greatly pleased the
goo1 people who heard it. Referring
to the speech and the speaker, the
AdUunce says:
"Mr Beddingfeld is Secretary of
the Farmers Alliance in North Caro-
lima, and what he says carries weight
with it. He is man of character,
good judgment and patriotism. His
influence will always be exerted for
the upbuilding of the order that has
honored him and itself by making
him it's Seccetary-and for the best
interest of the State he loves so well.
He is of the people-having come
from the lowly walks of life, and, we
believe, is destined to become one of
the most useful men in the State.
We hope every reader of this paper
will read his speech 1t will do you
good. He breaches the best of doc
trine, and we say to him, God spe9d
you in your work.-Sate Chronicle,

A story which is told about q prom
inent politician of Illinois shows what
social attentions were heaped on Col.
Cody when he was in London. The
gentleman from Illinois was In Lon
don and went to call on Mr.. Phelps,
the then, minister to whom he had
q letter introduction. Most Ameri.
cans who get acquainted with their
minister in London, ask him for tick
cts to the house of commons, q GER
tain number of which he receives.
Mr.. Phelps, in course of the converse
ton with the American, expressed his
regret that he could not give him Q
ticket to the House Of Commons, as
he had already promised all that he
would receive for the next six weeks.
MY dear sir, don't bother about it,"
replied the visitor, II have already
got a lot of them from Buffalo Bill"
Col. Cody had become acquainted
with so many membe of Paliament
that he had an almost unlimited sup
ply of tickets to the House of Com
mons, which he distributed with lib
eral hand among the Americans
whom he met.

HYPNOTISM IN PARIS.
The Same Process as that Employ

ed for Sharing Larks.
The Paris correspondent of the Lon
don Graphic gives an account of the
system of hypnotizing employed by
its foremost professor in France, DIR.
Luys, director of the Revue de Hyp-
noogie, the organ of the science. The
process was suggested to him
by one that is used by
bird catchers. It is the revolv-
ing that Dr. Luys employs-the same
as that used in the field for sharing
larks-snd the effect produced is an
idential one. THE advantage of my
system" he says, sis that by means
of it one single operation can fasci-
nate at one and the same time an IN
limited number of patients with no
trouble to himself nor loss OF force.
1t has also the advantage of absolute
infallibility. 1 have never known it
to fail. Certainly some patients are
less susceptible to its effect than
others; but none have ever resisted
five or six operations. On the other
hand most succumb the very first
time, after a lapse of from five to
thirty minutes"
The system is as simple as it can
be. In the middle OF a group of spa.
tients," which may be as large or
small as the operator may deter
mine, is set up on a stand and
Oh level with the eyes q revolv-
ing apparatus of bits of colored
glass, such az is used for SHARING
larks. The patients are instructed
to fix their eyes upon it, "The
effect of the revolving glasses
says DR.. Luys, sis axactly the same
on men as it Is on the birds. On
men the rotation of brilliant surface
produces in predisposed subjects q
peculiar state of the retina, and sub.
se1uently of the whole nervous sys-
tenn, accompanied with anaesthesia
