through our work, the greater guam
tlty of them Is turned loose, or made
available for plant food. BY crush
ing or pulverizing the soil finely We
increase the crop. Not only this,
but we find that the subsoil is rich
er in all these elements of plant life
than the top soil. If then we pillow
deeper, we get more of this plant
food ready for the crop. Freezing
plays no unimportant part in this
great work. Fall plowing is better
! than spring.
6. What is the''conclusion !?
We see then that we can get plant
food by deep, thorough cultivation.
If, in addition,we diligently save and
use all the home raised manures and
vegetable matter, we add very much
to the supply of vegetable food, So
luble in the soil. Lot manures act
upon the soil much in the same way
as yeast acts upon dough, 1t starts
a fermentation process which forms
acids in the soil that are very power
full solvenGs, and help to dissolve the
plant food in the soil.
Whether we shall buy commercial
fertilizers this year becomes a ques-
ton of commercial economy. Which
is cheaper: Shall we buy or work
| In any given case, each man must
decide for himself.
The bought food is very rapid in
doing its work. Being rendered SO
luble by powerful acids, they dc
their work quickly. If intelligently
used, they often yield large pro
| fits.
Again, it is undoubtedly true thai
they pay larger profits in proportion
as we have done more thorough work
They are soluble in water, but moi
available to the plant without water
Hence the better the supply of water
the larger the yield. But the deeper
we plow and oftener We harrow, the
more water the soil will hold aud
yield.
Z. Finally.
We see, therefore, that the very
method We use to enable us to dc
without commercial fertilizers, rend
ers the use of them the more profit
able.
1t does more than this. 1t makes
the use of them in larger quantities
practicable and profitable.
1t is very doubtful whether it il
advisable to use fertilizers On poorly
prepared land and poorly worket
crops.
On land plowed II inches deep
from one thousand pounds up. pei
acre, have yielded very large profits
But on land scratched an inch or two
even 125 pounds per acre is some
times used without a satisfactory re-
suit.
The more manure we save a
home, the better we can do withou
commercial fertilizers. The deepe
and oftener we plow, the better crop
we can grow without them. But i
is also sure that the more home-mad'
manure we use and the deeper an
better We pillow, the larger the profit
we get from the use of commercial
fertilizers.
/ Therefore, whether We shall us
: commercial fertilizers, depends yer
much upon how we are going t
. farm.-Cor. Southern Cultiyator.

To the Sub-Alliances of North Car.
olina:
The State Alliance of North Car
ollna In session at Greensboro in Au-
gust, 1898, passed the following res
olution:
"W hereas, The Polk Memorial AS
soclation has SO far fell short of sue
cess in their noble purpose; and
whereas We believe that our Alliance
brethren are willing and anxious u
aid them in their efforts; Therefore
be it
Resolved, By the North Carolina
Farmers State Alliance, That April
2S, 1894, it being the birthday OF
Col. l.. l.. Polk, be set apart as Polk
Memorial day, and that each Sub
Alliance in the State be requested TO
meet on that day for the purpose of
! raising and collecting funds for this
purpose. Exercises to be conducted
ia such manner as shall suit the
pleasure and convenience of each AL
lance.
Resolved further, That. latter the
success of this object is assured, the
Supreme Council of the National
Farmers Alliance and Industrial
Union be petitioned to meet in an
nual session in the city of Raleigh
and take part either in laying the
cornerstone of said monument or
unyeIling the same"
The delegates of the n. C. ALI
ance at the annual session of the Su-
preme Council at Topeka, Kansas,
February, 1894, report that the bove
resolution was laid before that body
and by vote it resolved to hold the
next Supreme Council in the city Of
Raleigh SO as to be present at the un-
yelling of said monument, provided
it could be completed for unveiling
at that time.
Therefore, we, the undersigned,
your State President and Executive
Committee, call upon every Sub-Al-
lance in the State to hold a meeting
on Col. Polk's birthday, as requested
in above resolution for the purpos,
therein set forth.
Every alIianceman in America
should not only feel it a duty but
consider it special privilege and
pleasure to contribute to the build
ing of this monument as a tangible
evidence of our esteem and love for
our late National President, and be-
sides, every Allianceman in North
Carolina should put forth a special
effort to assist in building this monu-
ment within the time stated, in order
that we may be honored by the meet
ing Of the Supreme Council of the
Alliance at the Capital of our State.
We suggest that after raising a
large a cash contribution as you Cal
for this purpose at said meeting, thai
you call upon each brother present
to state how much he will pledge to
pay himself or to raise by solicitation
by Nov. 1st, 1894.

THE BLAND BILL
Passed the Senate Thursday as The
CAUCASIAN predicted last week it
would. THE CAUCAsIAN's other
statement that there was so little sill
yer In it that the President would
sign it, will also probably come
true.
THAT EXTRA $4,000.
The Democrats We're a few davs
ago trying to pass bill adding
$25, 900 to the appropriation for the
Internal Revenue business. Con-
gressman Settle prompt opposed
the measure. The money arising
ont Of the appropriation, Mr.. Settle
said, was largely used as a corruption
fund, and led to the reporting Of
purely technical violations of the
law, 10 the great embarrassment and
often loss 10 innocent persons. No
argument had been adduced, ne said,
to show that an increase of officers
was necessary. lie had read from
the clerks desk an extract from the
platform adopted at recent Demo
cratic State convention asking for
the abolition of the internal revenue
system as Il war tax and a grleyous
burden upon the people. This eX-
tract, he said, showed how the De-
mocracy of North Carolina regarded
the internal revenue law. Those
who were familiar with the political
conditions there knew that the Dem
ocratic party was committed to the
abolition of these taxes. Yet with
the party in control of the govern
ment, they not only continued them
but increased them, and now propos
ed increasing the corruption fund
by an additional appropriation Of
$25, 900.
ABOUT SIMMONS SUCCESSOR.
The early return of Senator Vance
has revived the talk about Simmons
successor. The appointment, it Is
said, has been rendered Ex Judge
Phillips, who has recently bagged
half million in manipulating Nir-
ginia dirt. 1t may be Fab Busb,e
and in that event Stronach will b
appointed postmaster at Raleigh,
hen it suits the administration to
relieve Shaffer, who is well backed
by influential New York Demo
Gratis.
HOPEFUL POLITICAL OUTLOOK.
"Democratically the State is
perfect paudemoniun," is the mes
sage Loge Harris broug ht to Billy
Long "never saw the like" he said.
Harris sent up his card to Boss Ran

April 9th and eth, the Anniversary.
of the btttle.

Great preparations are making fol
the reunion Of veterans on the ole
hattle-felds of Shiloh this spring
and it will be all the more notable d
gathering because it will be compOs-
ed of Veterans of both armies. The
reunion vii! take place April 6 and
7, the anniversary days of the battle.
and it will be composed in the main
of survivors of Grants Army of the
Tennessee, Buell's Army of the Ohio,
and the commands of Albert Sidney
Johnston and Beauregard, who came
together i'll such sangulnary conflict
thlrty-two years ago.
Shiloh is one Of the fields that fol
many obvious reasons should be
geographically preserved in oul
military annals, and on the forth,
con ing occasion the work will be
systematically inaugurated by the
Battle Aid Association.
The story of Shiloh is now the
common property of the Nation. l
