the year round, if they will agree to take
it in trade, while he on his part ships the
eggs to Nashville and buys goods with
them. One of his customers who kept
seventy-twO hens this winter, averaged
forty-four eggs a day in the month OF
January, very good yield for hens in
winter. Her chickens are called the red

getic breed.
Living at distance from large city,
the principal profit ofpoultry lies in their
eggs, though when fattened and properly
dressed, the larger breeds of chickens
bring a good price at certain seasons of
the year. Farmers should arrange for
this by providing sufficient quantity of
grain to fatten the surplus fowls in the
fall, and their wives and daughters should
learn exactly how to have them dressed
so that they will present a tempting ap-
pearance in market.-A Farmers Daugh-

New Blood in Poultry.

NVW OAVVO A0 l. VU4Ox
New blood in poultry is the basis of
beauty, vigor and prolficness. tits more
essential to successful poultry culture
than all else combined. Fowls that are
inbred, that have been bred in line several
years without the addition or infusion of
fresh blood from other strains of thesa
variety, but to which they are not direct
ly related, become inactive, diminutive
and Improbable.
1t has been said that inbred fowls breed
true to feather, and that for this reason,
because they all come alike and are there
fore best suited to exhibition, inbreeding
is desirable and this is true to agreat ex-
tent Tor we have tried it, They do come
alike in more respects than one. They
breed true to feather, it is true, but they
also have the same inactive, stupid and
unattractive appearance. Their very life
seems to have been dulled. They are slow
to develop in form and muscle and they
are slow to lay.
While inbred fowls may be suitab for
exhibition purposes, they are certainly
improbable, and for this reason, with
the person who is keeping poultry for
profit, they should have no part or lot.
Far more desirable is the fowl that by
it's very appearance, it's very move and
action manifests the fresh, new blood it
embodies. There is an activity, grace
and vigor about it that is refreshing.
The male bird thatcomes of fresh blood
is the one that is ever on the alert to
make himself attractive and agreeable to
his mates. Every choice bit of food that
he finds he saves for them, and he calls
them about him with a gallantry that is
admirable. He leads them to the nest
over which he crows with q satisfactory
crow, that seems to manifest a knowledge
of it's value in the poultry world.
A male bird of this kind crows from the
top of the fence with flap of the wings
that is to follow.
Equal to the male bird Of fresh blood,
is the hen that comes of similar paren-
UCtSc. Cl1C 10 hCCu CbllO C1ClAFc1 HCC1lCuy
and vigorous, and one of the best layers
of her kind. In truth, in no way does
new blood manifest itself more strongly
than in the laying qualities of our hens.
1t is absolutely necessary in order to
have our hens lay proftably, that is, to
lay enough eggs to pay for their keep
and profit besides, that we introduce
fresh blood in our fiocks every year.
Tho wPifoTs hos Don't a poaOTs1 for counro1
years, and observed closely, and in every
instance the pullets of the newest blood
that come of flock in which a male alb
solutely unakin to the females had been
introduced the spring previous, we're
always the first to lay, in point of age,
and made the best layers generally.
TO have healthy, vigorous and profita-
BILE poultry, we must then, without any
question. introduce new blood annually
in our focks.-Southern cultivator.

Women as Poultry Keepers.

that cannot be overdone. The ever in
creasing population OF our large cities,
demands yearly larger supply OF poul-
try and eggs; and as yarded poultry
usually costs more than it comes to, the
intelligent farmer will find it to his in
terest to pay more attention to poultry
keeping, or rather to offer such induce
ments to his women folk as will encour-
age them to do so. He should build them
better poultry-houses, provide a more
liberal allowance of food, and if he finds
the old stock has degenerated, invest in
new and vigorous breed.
If you can induce woman to take
a pride in her work, and arouse her
ambition to surpass her neighbors in
that special line, there is no telling what
efforts she will put forth. Woman is it.
ted by nature to care for young animals;
her instinct teaches her to understand
their wants, and when she becomes in
terested in any living creature. she will
spare no time nor labor to promote it's
welfare. She is also much more ingenious
than man, and quicker, in devising new
ways and means for doing things; and
as her work does not bear so high a
market value, she is not SO labor-saving.
There are many things about poultry
raising, however, that woman cannot
do-as making chicken coops, forinstance.
htUQn hn OF NJ
not know how to drive nail, she is sure
to break the nail or mash her fingers
and then if she be real women, she will
throw down the hammer in disgust and
go to the house.
Keeping the hen-house clean, is another
thing that ought to be done for her; that
is both hard work and dirty work, but if
the farm manager rightly appreciates the
value of the manure for the garden and
truck patches, he will willingly have it
scraped up and carried off, and think
himself fortunate in getting it so cheap.
The great advantage the farmerha over
the yarded poultry keeper, is that, for
the greater portion of the year, fowls on
the farm can almost make their own liv-
ing. A light meal night and morning is
sufficient, for the more extensive their
range the healthier they will be- Worms,
bugs, grasshoppers and insects Of all
kinds are their natural food, very rich
food, too, containing in better proper
ton, the producing elements, than
any variety of nutriment the wisdom of
man can suggest.
If the hen-house is built in the orchard.
the fowls will do good work in keeping
down the insect pests, that destroy every
year so much of our finest fruit. They do
this both by scratching about the roots
of the trees, and by eating the imperfect
fruit that falls, thus destroying the grub
before it has time to burrOw in the
ground. Farmers who are Obliged to
cultivate poor land should make poultry
a speciality, for it does not require rich
ground to bring a fine crop of chickens;
on the other hand, they seem to thrive
betteD on poor soil where the grass and
weeds do not grow so rank.
In a certain section OF Tennessee, where
the land is poor and sandy, it is said the
farmers wives make more money on their
poultry than their husbands realize On

THE NORFOLK EXCHANGE.

Mr. EDITOR:-Please allow me
space to answer once for all the many
letters l am daily receiving from the
brotherhood in North Carolina reIa
tive to "the Norfolk Alliance Elk

lished by R. NJ. Humphrey, National
Superintendent of the colored Farm
ers' National Alliance and Co opera
tive Union, whose main Office is in
Houston, Texas, and is chartered by
the laws of the United States and re
corde1. 1t is for the benefit of the
members of the colored Farmers
Alliance in North Carolina and Vir-
ginis, and each member is expected
to pay So to form a business agency
fund. They are paying it in rapidly
and we hope this fall to collect this
from the entire 10000 membership,
thus giving us $4,000. When l
was appointed manager was required
to give bond for faithful performance
of a contract which requires me to
place this money in bank and United

with this money, secures all other
money handled or contracts made. It
is in no way connected with the North
Carolina business agency at Raleigh.
1t is the duty of every Alliance man
to sustain his business agency or ex.

these are to govern and regulate the
prices in which they look for advan
tageouU sales and large profits, this
state of affairs causes an irresistibl
demand by the holders of the stock
upon the officers who are managing
the roads for favorable reports and
large dividends, which can only be
given by e1acting such high rates of
the patrons of the roads, and the
country through which they pass, as
to strip every industry and every
interest that the road may touch of
all profits, with most disastrous results
to the country and to the people.
A railroad commission, clothed with
proper authority, could prevent all
this by the esta blishment of rates that
would be just to the country and to
the roads by dlsregarding these de-
mands made by spectators in stocks,
and prescribing and fixing rate for
the roads by which the country would
be developed, enriched and made
populoUs The stimulus that such a
favorable rate would give to all pur-
suits and all industries would in return
pay the roads, by reason of increased
travel and larger tonnage, more
than they now make by the high rases
upon their light travel and small
tonnage.
In conclusion, permit me to state
that [ do not wish to DO misunderstood
as attributing all the prosperity of
Georgia, and especially of her railroad
interests, to the fact that she has a
railroad commission.
Georgia feels the impulse toward
progress and development which stirs
in all her sister States, and is resping
some of the general benefit of the
general prosperity of the times. But
l do honestly believe that the railroad
commission has been a great factor in
her prosperity, and shall be glad to
know that the great State of Texas
has organized a commission with the
proper powers, and has placed the
administration of those powers, in
proper hands.

L. n. TRAMMRLL,
Chairman of the Railroad Commis
sion of the State of Georgia.

LETTER FROM FORSYTH
COUNTY.

LEwIsvILLE, N O., Oct. l, 1890.
Mr.. EDIToR:-I would like to say
word, by the way, to the voting men
of the Forsyth Alliance and the Fifth
district.
Elections will soon be upon US, and
as the day for sentimental politics has
passed, let us, to man, see that ALI.
ance men are oCr representatives in
Congress and the Legislature. OF
course, where Alliance men are elected
on our county tickets, it will be- a
qualification, but it is Of minor i'm.
portance as compared with the State
and National issue. 1t would be we'll
for us to carry the clause, which de,
cEares us "non partisan in politics !"
close to our hearts, and stand by it on
election day.
There should be no interest as to
old party issues; the slave to his old
party deserves the sympathy of all
his Alliance brethren. We can show
by support of our own men of either
party, that there is such a thing as
party utilization, and that we are go
ing to sand shoulder to shoulder un.
til we accomplish the end we design,
which is the Sub Treasury plan per

Hon. Z. j. Brol5n, Sherman, TerdS /:
DEAR SIR In reply to yours of
the 3 i inst, asking to be informed in
reference to the workings, effects, in
Huence, etc, etc, Of the railroad COM
mission in this State, I give you the
following statement Of facts, without
detail or elaboration:
The railroad commission of this
State was organized October 18th,
1879. It's annual cost to the State is
$4,000; So, 500 Of this sum being ap-
proprlated to each of three commits
sloners, $1,000 to a secretary, and
81 900 to advertising, publishing and
office expenses.
Avery large reduction in the charges
made by railroads, for freights and
passengers, have been made since the
organization Of the commission in this
State. To show this reduction I state
that in 1879 the charge made for the
transportation of passengers was five
cents per mile, whilst the rate now
charged Is three cents per mile, and to

A SUGGR RSTION.

OAKS, Orange Co., N. c.
Mr.. EDITORIALS it is sometime yet
till the legislature will meet, if you
will allow me space, | would like to
suggest to the people of Orange
county that we discuss in the Alliance
and elsewhere, also through the col
umns of The PROGRESSIVE FARMBR and
State Chronicle if they will lend US a
helping hand in the matter, as to the
best method to adopt for the improve,
ment of our public roads. Who will
be first to suggest plan? We need
better roads, and in order to have
them it is necessary that we have a
better system for working them. Let
any one who will suggest plan, then
let us discuss the plans suggested as
above stated, unite upon some plan and
ask the Legislature to enact into law.
Respectfully,
