WHEN TO FEED BRAN

Bran is very rich in phosphates, com
pared with other grain foods, and 1T
may be fed with advantage. All foods
containing large proportion of phos-
pilates also contain lime phosphate of
lime), and for growing fowls and lay
ing hens bran should be used in prefer
ence to meal, corn or other grain; but
for fattening for market it is not equal
to corn or corn meal. AS much Of the
food usually allowed hens is given
without regard to it's kind or quality,
ouite q loss is sometimes made by feed
ing that which is undesirable, while
further loss is sustained in the lack OF
production. Food cannot always be
fairly regulated or balanced, but when
bran is allowed it will largely compen-

in the majority of foods.-M'rr0T ana

clipping. If you wish eggs, especially
here in North Carolina and the South'

Do not expect or attempt to tatten
fowls on bran. 1t is the cheapest ana
bv far the healthiest food that can Dc

ADVANTAGES DERIVED FROM
PLUCKING CORN TASSELS.
PROSPERITY, N. @.

PROSPERITY, N. @.
Mr.. EDITOR 1T has been decided by
actual tests that if the tassels of a por-
ton of the corn be pulled out, say those
of each alternate row, the yield of the
stalks so treated will be largely in
creased, some who have tested it plac-
ing the increase at 25 per cent. If this
increase be divided with the unplucked
rows we have an increase in the yield
of the entire field so treated of 123 per
cent, which will compensate remark
ably we'll for the time and labor ex-
pended.
The tassels should be plucked soon
after the corn develops sufficiently to
get hold of them with the hand, it be-
ing desirable to prevent, to as great an
extent as possible, the strength Of the
stalks from going into them.
I am not prepared to state what per-
centage of tassels can be advantageous
ly plucked but one half (each alternate
row has served the purpose aforesaid.
Perhaps one-third of the tassels (two
rows plucked and one left would be
ample for fructifying purposes, thus
increasing the yield still more. The
proper percentage to pluck can be
easily determined by experiment.
The plucked tassels, being young and
tender, furnish a very desirable food
for cattle or horses, and may be fed
green or cured BRYAN TYSON.

WHICH SIDE is HE oNa

Mr. EDIToR:-Senator Jarvis, when
speaking at. Shelby, during the cam
paign two years ago, advised the farm
ers of Cleveland county to stick to
honest Grover Cleveland He stated
further that he did not care so much
about the platform, that Cleveland was
platform enough for him; he was a
solid platform to stand on. Here lately
he is quoted as saying that he stood on
the Chicago platform as understood or
interpreted at the South. Now by
whom at the South9 The Atlanta
Journal, a professedly Democratic
paper, says the Chicago platform
means one thing, and the Atlanta
Constitution, a simon pure Democratic
paper, interprets it in quite different

MACON, N. G.
Mr.. EDIToR:-"What shall the

tegral co operation.
This government has run amuck. It
has struck it's maelstrom, and is shat

I thank God for Grover Cleveland.
There is some good in things evil, if
we would observingly distilI it out. "
He has succeeded in destroying the
combination of strife, discord and de.
ception, erstWhile known as the ''dim-
ocratic party" For this achievement
he should be monumentalized.
Yes, integral CO operation is the hope
of the nation Herbert Spencer says:
Equity does not permit private prop
erty in land" It's advocates ask for
evolution and not for revolution; for
inter-dependence and not for indepen-
dence; for CO operation and not for
competition, for duty and not for
license; for employment and not for
charity; for Escheticism and not for
dogma; for just law and not for class
legislation; for corporate management
and not for political control; for the
municipal responsibility for every citi-
zen" We have passed the time when
the man without capital can make a
living. The bonanza" farmer
raises wheat for 335 cents bushel; the
small farmer cannot raise it
for less than 81 The small
producer comprises 81 per cent of our
population. This latter quotation is
extracted from letter of w. r. Stuart
in the Los Angeles Times.
The Republican party is an aristoc
racy of wealth. The Democratic party
is oCOuld be aristocracy of blood; but
as I heard a preacher say, their blood
is so thin it wouldn't stain his hand
kerchief. Well, then, the blood il
about run out. Now let the wealth
ram in the channel of distributive jus
tice. which will neither clot nor coagu

The knowledge gained in the expert
ence Of practical farmer is invaluable
to his success, but the agricultural
journal contains the combined expert
ences of many farmers. The progress
sive spirit of an age lies in the promul
cation of theories but in the perform
ance comes the victory. So the prac
tical farmer may congratulate himself
by being an essential element in the

theoretical only comes new worlds to

the higher ideals and nobler standards

One good point about green manur-
ing is that it may be done at any
season, and in so many ways, that some
of them are open to all. Of course
clover is the great crop for this use, and
the seasons at which it may be sown
and used are somewhat arbitrary; but
there are dozen other things, some
of which may be sown at any time,
that you happen to have piece of
land vacant, and they may be turned
under with more or less benefit at any
period of their growth. Peas are Sec
ond to clover in adding to the stores of
nitrogen, and they may be sown the
latter part of the summer, and yet
make sufficient growth to be valuable
manurial crop. Rye sown even later
may be turned under in spring.

Particular attention should be given
fruit trees and vines during June and
July. Destroy the caterpillars or they
will destroy your trees. We have but
little fruit this season, and the trees
may be neglected. Don't do that. They
may be full of fine fruit next year.

mr.. q. NJ. MeoCbOrne, Pres. Farmers
Stote Alliance, KInstOn, N. C.
DEAR Strive write to you in YOUR
capacity as President of the State ALI
ance to call your attention to the abuse
practiced by the farmers in your State
the past season in regard to excess of
bagging, which abuse can only result
to the detriment of the best interest of
the farmers, and we therefore write for
your assistance in calling the attention
OF the farmers to it, and checking it if
possible. Before last season the com
plant regarding covering cotton with
too much bagging was very rare
thing, but the past season the com
plants from the mills to whom we sold
cotton from your State have been bit
ter and continuous, followed by claims
which are just and proper, and which
we have been compelled to pay, for
there is no equity in covering a bale
of cotton with from II to 80 pounds of
bagging, as has frequently been the
case. The thing has become so uni
versal throughout the State that it has
the appearance of concerted move
ment. 1t has been accomplished by
putting two pieces of bagging on the
top of the bale instead of one and has
the effect of making large folds at the
ends and sides after the bale is com
pressed. 1t has been the custom here
tofore to cover the bale with two strips,
one on the top and one on the bottom,
which has been sufficient for the pro-
lection of the bale, especially after it is
compressed. Any more than this is
unnecessary and will lead to constant
trouble, and you can readily realize
that the difference in weight as com
pared with the heavier bales put up in
Texas makes the case even more aggra
waited and has given rise this season to
very great prejudice in the minds of
exporters against cotton from the Car
olinas and Georgia, so much so that
we know importers in Liverpool who
declare they will not buy any
cotton from those States the com
ing season, as the margin of
profit is not sufficiently great to
stand the annoyance and claims aris-
ing from this excess bagging which is
not needed, and every cotton buyer in
the country next season will no doubt
refuse to accept bales so covered unless
sufficient allowance is made for same.
Such condition of affairs is undesir-
able and one we should be very sorry
to see occur, and we therefore think it
would be much better for the farmer to
correct this practice where he has been
in the habit Of so doing. 1t is quite
within the power of your Alliance to
bring about this reform, and we trust
you, as President, will see your way
clear to advocating such course.

Congress has been far more devastat-
ing to the South than his brothers.
Fifty thousand voters cut a very
small figure as separate political
party in North Carolina running can
didates for Office. But fifty thousand
voters who organize and proclaim to
the world their principles and define
the measures and the character of men
they will vote for, may easily hold the
balance of power between all parties
seeking Offices, and elect whom they
will. believe there are now one hun.
dred thousand white voters in North
Carolina who are willing to vote for the
best interests of the State and Nation
without regard to the effect upon any
party as such. Let those then who
prefer the reforms have named to the
mere partisan success of any party
organize and at the proper time, assem-
Dle and canvass and pass upon the can
didates and platforms of other parties,
and commend such as are good and
condemn such as are bad, itself nomi
mating candidates and making plat
forms where none good are found and
only to supply fatal defects. Such an
organization under Gods providence
will, I believe, be absolutely resistless
for good. The plan has worked with
such success against the people that /
wish to see it worked for them. 1t is
a wet blanket to some of those who are
seeking Office in the reform and a cold
bath to some of those seeking Office by
opposition to it, but will be a God send
to the people and free us from one of
the meanest and bitterest campaigns
ever waged in the State. Shall we
take the children's bread and cast it
unto dogs!' exclaims one of the faith
full who says he has borne the heat and
burden of the day. answer that it is
better to save the reform with some
eleventh hour servants" filling all the
Offices than to lose the reform but save
few Offices for the most faithful. Tie
real mother of the child before King
Solomon preferred that the false mother
should have it rather than that the
child should be destroyed. This act oi
real affection saved the child Similar
acts of affection and self sacrifice or
the part of those who really deserve
the Offices will, believe, save the re
form and suggest to all the world c
cure for partisanry which is a fal
greater evil than any which either
party ever sought to remedy. The
money power could not rule America
if it were not for the blind, wicked
partyism of her people.
Shame upon us as people that oul
divisions and party strife and our hun
ger for spoils and Offices have enabled
a few corrupt millionaires to tie Ut
hand and foot and rule us with a roc
