CARE OF ORCHARDS AND VINES

Mr.. Having some expert
ence in planting orchards and caring
for them, I offer my fellow farmers,
free Of cost, a few facts derived from
actual experience.
Orchards may be planted successful
ly from October till April. Never
plsnt an orchard on land with ten
aciOus subsoil il you have any other
land. Trees will thrive best on land
with a porous subsOil. Red lands will
produce the best favored and finest
colored fruit. Trees will bear trans
planting from one to three years old,
and will do well if properly dug from
the nursery without iDjuring the roots
Before setting care should be taken to
trim off all the bruised and broken
roots, The roots should be dipped into
batter made of COW manure and set
into a hole not deeper than the tree
grew in the nursery, taking care to fill
in with rich mould from the woods or
corner Of the fence, taking care to place
fine soil closely around the roots,
slightly pressiog with the foot. The
young tree should then be cut back in
proportion as it has lost its roots. A
stake should then be driven beside it,
to which it should be tied to prevent
the wind from shaking it. The young
orchard, if possible, should be cult
waited in hoed crops, and well manured.
Attention should be given early to the
fol m:ug and training of the top, leav-
ing it so low as to shade the body of
the tree from the hot sun of the after
noon, as they are liable to be scalded
by the sun from the southwest. A limb
does not get higher from the ground
than where it started out no matter
how large the tree may grow. The
years after the tree is planted. No
limbs should be cut from tree larger
than will readily heal over in one
season. When the orchard is to be
plowed the owner should do it himself
or go with his hired hands and stand
by each tree with stick IN his hand,
placing it between the tree and the
chain till the whiffletree passes. If by
chance a tree should be skinned imme
diately put a bandage of wet clay
around it. The bark will grow back
by midsummer. Peach trees may be
pruned without injury at any season.
Pears being subject to blight should
be allowed to branch and sprangle
from the ground, then when blight oc-
ours it may be cut away without de-
the tree.
Asyoung trees are liable to be barked
and destroyed by rabbits, offer
sure and unfailing remedy that l have
used without failure for twenty five
wears. Grease the tree with lard, "a
rusty piece of bacon is better), from the
to the height of 1o inches.
Grape vines should not be pruneo

CAN REFORMERS GET TO-
GETHER2

Impressed with the absolute neces-
sity Of better mutual understanding,
as the basis Of more perfect co opera
tiOn between all classes of reformers,
have thought it proper to invite the
attention Of the Farmers Alliance to
the subject. Certain movements in
our city of Baltimore suggest the
thought that whether living In city or
country all who advocate just and
practical reform, ought to find no diff
Guilty in acting together. That there
are classes who thrive by corrupt com
binations to manipulate public affairs,
everybody knows. To oppose these
bad elements the scattered forces and
warning factions of hostile reformers,
each organization defending its own
special reforms and aiding the corrup
tionists to defeat other reformers Law
ing slightly different end in view, is
simply to insure the continued control
of corruptionists. The cohesive power
of public plunder is all sufficient to
bind together in common purpose and
effort all grades and ranks of corrup-
tionists. The vital question is, are
those who seek to establish purity,
decency, honesty and justice in public
affairs, able, or unable, to oppose to,
corruption in high places and low
places, united front of stern and de-
termined opposition; at this juncture
I feel it to be my duty as the presiding
officer of the Maryland Alliance, to
suggest the subject to the several Sub
and County Alliances for earnest con-
sideration and conference; looking to
the opening of communication with
other organizations. whether in city or
country, with the hope of establishing
cordial relations with them. Let us
put the question to the test whether
the bond of fraternity, inspired by sen
timent of peace and good will, in the
pursuit of common good of all, is
weaker or stronger than the cementot
corruption which solidifies In one in
dissoluble mass corruptionists of every
kind and degree who have thus, united,
succeeded in making Of the law itself
the chief instrumentality of corruption
and plunder. Fraternally,

WOULDN'T NEED ADDITIONAL


Congressman, -, 7r, of Ohio, at one
time, we believ; ae coinage advo
cate made blt = gold bug speech
III the house a te Us since in oppo-
sition to coming ii yniorage, Sneak
ing OF the deficit / = : National Treas
ury, he said that liza government EN-,
ployees, including Congressman and
Senators, would consent to a twenty
five per cent. reduction in their salaries
there would soon be surplus in the
treasury. He added, however, that it
would be hard medicine to take" At
this Juncture Congressman Bland asked
Mr.. Harter to state how he voted on
the extra session mileage question
Harter replied: Il voted for mileage
because [ was entitled to it for the extra
session just as much as for a regular
session of Congress.
In another part of his speech he com
planned that if the seigniorage was
coined and silver certificates issued
against 1t the government would be put
TO extra expense to provide storage for
the coin, that there is hardly room now
for the 14O, 900, 600 ounces of bar silver
in the vaults.
Now if a free coinage bill was passed,
all this complaint about a lack of room
for storing money or bullion would
end. There Is room in the pockets OF
63, 100000 people for every dollar that
can be coined for years to come. Busi-
ness is dragging for the want of it.
Millions Of idle people want to work
and earn the money, spend it for food,
clothing and other necessaries. The
factories have the clothing material
piled up ready and can start their ma
chinery to make more. The elevators
are full Of grain, the meat houses are
full Of meat. Give US free coinage
and the great machinery of the worlds
industries will run. Continue this
single standard and the stagnation will
grow worse.

A WISE ADDRESS.

Issued by the National Alliance oficers--
The Topeka Meeting Talked Sense
in the Words Below
To the Members Of the Farmers AIEi.
0nce and Industrial Union, and to
oil Whom 1t Nag Concern:
Since the inception of the grand or
ganization there have been those who
thought that when some political party
chamPloned our political demands that
then the mission of the organization
was ended. This opinion is based on
the belief that a political party will take
care of the interest of the farmer. This
IS fatal mistake. The history of all
parties proves this. Besides, it is proved
by the acts of every other class of citi-
zens except politicians, that they do
not rely on parties alone, but organize
for influence on any and all parties.
Every veal h-producer of America
should keep the following truths before
b m:
F1rst-That sooner or later all politi-
cal parties are controlled by politicians.
Second-That politicians never serve
any cause or class of citizens from q
sense Of justice, but always through
policy, fear or gain. Therefore, the
class of citizens represented by the.
Alliance can never hope for or secure
relief or justice from any political
party, not even from one that claims
to champion and indorse its every prin,
ciple and demand, unless they main
tain an organization that will ever
stand as an effective support to the
man and the party that dares to do
rightly and be constant menace to
those who dare trifle with the rights
and liberties of the people Hence the
Supreme Council sOlemnly warns those
who are true to the principles of the
Alliance that they would make a most
fatal mistake if they should give up
the organization which is the only
power that can force these reforms
through any political party.
The Supreme Council calls upon you
to ever remember that the organiza-
ton has a great mission to perform
outside of political reforms. If the
wealth-prOducers of America are to
keep pace with the march of civiliza-
tion they must do it through contact.
We have not only grown in mind and
heart by such association and contact.
but we pool our intellects for the mutual
advancement of our best interests. The
Supreme Council appeals to everyone
who believes in the principles Of the
Alliance to stand by and extend the
Order, not only to secure the benefits
to come from organization, but also to
make certain that some political party
shall enact their demands into law.
The progressive farmer. [volume] (Winston, N.C.) 1886-1904, 1894-02-27

SO faithfully. I am well pleased With
it's management endc think that it is
doing great good san educator, and
should SO into very family in the
State.
As to educatin the farmer and keep
ing him out Of politics, that won't
work, because that inherent love of
liberty which inspires the average
American citizen to seek such honest
methods to relieve himself and his pos
terity from the thralldom which he is
ln-by reason Of the unjust legislation
that English capital has fastened upon
him by its arbitrary influence upon our
national Legislators, causing the de-
mOnetization of silver, as well as un-
equal taxation, which has fostered and
encouraged trusts and combines, by
which he has been robbed Of his hard
earnings in many ways; that he is
bound to seek a redress of his griev-
ances at the ballot box, as was intended
by our fOrefathers, for resistance to
ty ranny is ODE dience to God" There
fore would say 80 on brother with
the good work of education, which
was 50 nobly begun and so vigorously
pushed by our lamented leader, Col
Polk
The Democratic platform declares
for free coinage Of silver, tariff reform
az d many other reforms, equaEizing
the burdens of taxation; but it appears
that the party is dominated by Wall
street and we will get none of the re
forms promised, although they have
such a splendid chance" Now the
question naturally arises, where are
we at" and what shall we do9 Shall
we join the Populists who predicted
this result, or reform the Democratic
party and eliminate Wall street and
tools, and reorganiz9 with all honest
reformers from both old parties, and
thus carry the South and West in 1896,
with Tom Johnson, of Ohio, for Presi-
dent and Tom Watson, of Georgia, for
Vice President and thus give the plu
tocrats their just deserts to the tune of
Hail Columbian
We all know the Alliance is not a
political party, but it's main work is to
educate, and it is as natural for farm
gto demand their rights as any her
class; and when our merchants, manu-
facturer5 and other professions realize
that such legislation as will cause our
wealth producers to prosper will cause
them likewise to prosper, then they will
fall into line with us and present a
solid united front at the ballot, box for
honest government, and ''free ballot
and fair count" Then may we recap
ture the flag Of true "Jeffersonian De-
mocracy" which pIutocracy wrested
from us in 1892 by fraud, deceit and
false promises.
Now in conclusion l want to com
mend the manly, patriotic course of
Senator Vance in the fight for silver,
which all the Alliance people endorse.
| want further to endorse the resolu-
tion of the Forsyth County Alliance
which declares for a reduction of the
and fees of all public officers
in proportion to the decline Of wheat,
tobacco, cotton and other farm prod
ucts.
We want a good speaker at our next
county meeting. Stokes.

L. S.-Dumb animals cannot speak,
but L imagine if they could a COW
would express her preference for a
split tongue rather than a steel spindle
IN her nose. The nose is the most SEN
sltlve organ of the COW, judging from
the way she bellows when a terrier
gets hold Of it. I sometimes do the
milking when the rnf1y is about,
and often get q thump on the side from
the COW s nose in her efforts to free her
self from them, and do not fancy the
idea OF COW poking a steel spindle
into my shortribs. W.
