is that the necessity for the keeping Of
a large number at any n time is
avoided.
One way of increasing the income
with sheep is by increasing the density
of the growth of wool, The length
should rarely be increased to a point
so that the fleece will be open,
1t is a positive disadvantage to have
the sows fallow fall pigs, unless they
can be provided with warm, dry quar-
tiers during the winter so that a steady
growth can be maintained.
There is no question but breeds of
hogs have had their constitutions
weakened and made more liable to
disease by the hot house system than
under that which many Of them have
been reared.

LETTER FROM NEW HANOVER.
OAKLEY, n @.

OAKLEY, N. \.
Mr. EDITOR Brother farmers and
Alliancemen of this once happy land,
will you not unite together in this good
work. Can we feed all, clothe all,
house all, raise all, ship all, transport
all, pay all, and suffer all, and that to
the enriching of the few in this and
other countries without wanting and
seeing the great need of reform on
many of these lines. How a anyone
see otherwise than a reform when the
farmer does all and gets but little for
all he does? THIS is a plain fact to be
seen by any seeing or thinking man or
woman, and l will say just here, in
society or out of society, in the ALI
ance or out of the Alliance, in the
church or out of the church, l am for
a reform, ard if it does not come before
very long this country will be under
the greatest trial n has ever been
under since we knew the world. When
the farmers come to nothing the mer-
chants go with them, and when this is
the case where is the transporterS of
all merchandise And now let me ask
the question, how IA any country or
people think to prosper when there is
such a strong divisions My good coun-
trymen, lay down prejudice and take
up holiness before God.

THE MOST BASE AND CoWARDLY.

Mr.. EDIToR:-In a regular meeting
of Oaks Alliance, No. 1872, on March
25th, 1893, it was unanimously resolved
that the act of the legislature amend

the most base, cowardly, diabolical
and tyrannical ever passed by any leg
islature in the history of our State, and
is an outrage and a stigma upon civil
liberty,
The Secretary was instructed to send

FREMONT, N. @.

FREMONT, n. @.
Mr. EDIToR:-By a unanimous vote
of Fremont Alliance, No. ia, the IN
d6rsigned committee were appointed
to draft resolutions denouncing and
condemning the action of the last leg
islature concerning the Alliance char,
ter, in the strongest terms possible.
Resolved, That we consider the OBJ
ject and aim of said action absolutely
undemocratic, unAmerican and against
the fond wishes Of the agricultural
populace of North Carolina.
2. That we deem the origin and in
cipiency of the bill to repeal the Ali
ance charter to be wholly speculative,
selfish and a scheme to disrupt the
Business Agency.
3. That those who voted for said bill
have proved themselves unworthy of
the confidence and support of the peo-
pie of North Carolina as a body of
representatives.
4. That selfish motives actuated said
members to smite the hand that feeds
and clothes the world, and to deaden
and paralyze that great limb of indus
try which supports all mankind.
5. That their designs were to annul
and destroy the grandest labor organi-
cation on earth; an organization born
of necessity for the protection of the
farmers and laborers of this common
wealth; an institution whose grand
motto is ''truth," good will towards all,
malice towards none; an institution
whose highest object is to better our
condition socially, Intellectually and
financially.
6. That we look upon the actions Of
said members as a gross injustice and
an insult to the entire membership Of
the Farmers Alliance of North Caro-
lima.
z. That it is a stigma upon the intel
ligence and education of the agricul-
tural class; that it is a rebuke to the
wellbeing of society and an act closely
akin to ~plutocracy.
8. That the above be sent to THE
PROGRESSIVE FARMER for publication.

SHEEP N SWINE.

Wheat a often be fed p~rofitably to
sheep.
Breed, so far as possible, SO IS to
secure an evenness of fleece.
Hogs can only be kept thrifty in
winter with a good shelter.
Sheep kept clean are not affected
with scab unless taken from other
sheep.
As the hogs get to bedding together
care must be taken to look out for lice.
Brood sows will thrive better if they
have a good opportunity to take exer-
else.
When given a regular ration a pig
will rarely overfeed in going once to
the feed trough.
One serious disadvantage with very
large hogs is that they are very slow
to mature.
In providing racks for the sheep be
sure to arrange SO that each will have
a place to eat.
Sheep seem to require more mineral
elements in their food than any other
kind of stock.
Sheep will stand considerable cold,
if it be dry cold, and if they are pro
tected from the wind.
1t is fully as important to have the
pigs thrifty during the fall and winter
as in the spring and summer.
If there is any difference made in
the feed or treatment during the win
ter the lambs should be given the best.
By supplying plenty of good water
all through the winter the sheep will
not get into the habit of eating snow.
In a majority of cases the main rea-
son for any animal not having enough
milk for her young may be found in
her feed.
The objection to keeping any consid-
cradle number of wethers is that one
source of income-the increase-is
cut off.
One decided advantage with a good
shelter is that the sheep will producea
gre alter return in sheep and wool with
less feed.
Oats, grass, oil meal, bran or mill
feed, made into Stops with sweet skim
milk is good to induce the sows to give
a good flow of milk.
When fed too long upon any one
kind of food hogs are very liable to
get off their feed, and especially SO
with corn. Hence the necessity of a
variety.
One advantage in always keeping the
pigs thrifty and growing is that they
are always ready for market and an
advantage can often be taken of better
markets.
Store some bedding where it can be
a conveniently during the winter.
The bedding for the hogs should be
changed regularly at least every week
or ten days.
success In hog raising means that
there must be a regular growth for
every pound of feed consumed. and the
conditions necessary to secure this
must be observed.
gradually the demand for fat hogs
@O all seasons of the year is breaking
up the old system of feedino hut ono

NO NEED OF IT.

The papers in the Western part Of
tho State are discussing the time and
PLACE for Holding the next military
encampment. Taking IN view the
present condition of the people OF
this State, the .burdensome taxes
they now pay and the little real good
accomplished by the encampment
last year, the INDEPENDENT would
like to suggest to those in authority
that there be no .encampment held
this year. 1t is Of no real benefit tc
the people and they should not.be
compelled to pay for it.-Elko INDIE
PENDENT.
The Gazette does not agree with
the INDEPENDENT. The legislature
made an appropriation for the pur-
pose Of having an encampment, and
40 one will deny that n week OF such
service ia n better method Of instruc-
ton to our militia than years Of or
binary company drill. Ii our State
soldiery is to be maintained it would
be the veriest folly to do away with
the annual encampment, which is
held in every State in the Union
Reno Gazette. go.
Will the Gazette tell US where the
psople Of the State, outside of Carson,
derived any substantial benefit from
the encampment last year? The
INDEPENDENT ID we'll aware that it
gave IL few men an opportunity to
cover themselves with gold lace
and strut around like a turkey cock
for; q few daye, but outside Of this,
was there any return for the money
it cost the State? Because other
States have annual encampmen ts of
their-militia is no reason why, under
the conditions that now exist, Neva-
da should do the same. But as an
appropriation Of $4,000 was made by
the last legislature for this purpose
We suppose it must be spent whether
1t results in any good to tine State or
not. Then, too, if the .encampnent
were not held, it would interfere with
the free and unlimited circulation Of
the silver in the State Treasury if it
did not hinder and delay it's free and
unlimited coinage.
