POULTRY YARD
RAISING RARLY POULTRY.

There Is every encouragement to the
one who wishes to keep poultry for
eggs and market. The road of the
amateur fancy chicken dealer is sure
to be g rough n for many years at
least, for there are so many well known
dealers, and advertising and booming
are overdone and disappointing. A
dealer in n little town shipped dur
ing the month of February 5000 dozen
eggs. An average of $3.50 worth Of
poultry Wa1 shipped weekly last winter
and there were other dealers in the
Same town and at nearly every other
town in the county. No one to my
knowledge makes a spC cialty of poul.
try. 1t was the surplus from the farms.

came alarmed. There is more OF fright
to-day among the real leaders OF the
eastern pIutocracy than when the cam
paign was hottest. They feel that
something must be done to check the
onward movement of the popular de-
mand for changed conditions. So they
have held a meeting and appointed a
committee, which is to report a plan
for an active and aggressive national
organization, to be known as the Sound
Money league.
A few of the names signed to the call
for the above mentioned meeting will
suffice to reveal to the people it's true
character. J. Pierpont Morgan headed
the list. Among the other signers
were George J. Gould, @ P. Hunting
ton, George n. Pullman, Russell Sage,
D. o. Mills, John D. Rockefeller, John
e. Bearles, secretary of the sugar trust;
August Belmont, agent Of the Roths
childs; Chauncey NJ Depew and Ros
well P. Flower, who was chairman Of
the Indianapolis boilers convention.
Thes5 names will suffice to damn the
Sound Money league and it's work in
the eyes of the people. 1t is too clear

of ~plutocracy's league should serve as

HOG CHOLERA.

Every paper in the United States
ought occasionally to keep the fact be-
fore it's readers that burnt corn is q
sure and speedy cure for hog cholera.
The best wsyis to make a pile Of corn
on the cob, effectually scoTch it, and
then give the hogs free access to it.
This remedy was discovered by e. E..
Locke, Egg, at the time his distillery
was burnt in this county, together
With a large quantity of store corn,
which was so much injured as to be
unfit for use, and was hauled out and
greediIy eaten by the hogs, several Of
which we're dying daily. After the
second day not a single hog was lost,
and the disease entirely disappeared.
The remedy has been tried in a number
of cases since, and never failed

FARMING WITH oNK HORSE.

There are already very many small
farms where the expense of keeping
two horses is greater than the profit
from the land will stand. AS popula-
ton becomes more condensed the mum
Der Of such farmers is sure to increase.
With light plows, suitable to be drawn
by one horse, a good deal of ploughing
may be done. If still faster ploughing
is desired, two farmers, each working
a single horse, may unite their forces.
This is the way that French farmers
do, and we have seen the seme practice
near some American cities.
1t is chiefly in drawing manure that
the two horse team ia most essential,
for it is the practice to make the ma
nure box very large, 60 that two good
horses rerequired to draw it.-Ameri-

PORTABLE

This is the season Of the year when
farmers who keep cows-end nearly
all of them do-are thinking about i'm
provements for their dairy work. To
those who are not already provided
with cream raising apparatus to their
liking we call attention to the portable
creamery, several kinds of which are
on the market. We have no hesitation
In saying that the one advertised in
this issue, Moseley's Occident Cream
cry, is q good one. There is combine d
with it, in one form, a refrigerator
that can be used for domestic purpos g..
II is especially adapted to the practice
Of the cold deep setting or Swedish sys
tenn of cream raising. 1t is useful in
hotels, restaurants and other public
boarding instit utions where milk and
cream Is stored and used; yet, of
course, it's principal use Ia in the farm
dairy. For circulars relating to 1t and

ROWAN ACADEMY AND THR
SHOE FACTORY.

correspondence of the Progressive Farmer.
Rowan Academy Sub Alliance met
on the 9Th inst and while other things
were discussed, u enterprise at Hills
boro occupied much of the time. This
Sub. has sent on the amount Of money
promised for the shoe factory at our
last county meeting; others have done
the same and some have sent On more
than was promised; and we believe
that every Sub. in Rowan county will
send on the full amount, or more, o.
We are sorry to learn that some coun
ties decline to send in any aid. The
difference, however, is, those who put
in the most will have the largest per
mAnent stock.
We do not understand these breth
rem to say they don't care to see the
shoe factory go to work because they
say take of the Business Agency fund.
That may be all right. I cannot say ;
but thing Ia certain, tand I think I
express the sentiment Of every Sub in
this county,: we want to see all our
machinery at work, AID as soon as pos
nible. We do not like to have the Bust
ness Agency fund disturbed. but money
can be borrowed from it to be replaced
as soon as a sufficient amount OF con-
tributjons come in to replace it. Now
our money is idle and the factory Ia
idle, while both can be at work. II that
factory is properly managed, 1 don't
think it will be long until every Sub In
the State will want some individual
permanent stock in it, n others will
be added on.
There r plenty of men to work
where it pays. If the enterprise at
Hillsboro will pay, it will have
plenty of hackers; If it will not pay
let us find it out o % and quit. But il
it is 80 managed " to be some remun-

grow, but the Alliance will grow with
it. If every Alliance will take stock
then this enterprise is backed by the

At present low prices for grain it is
cheaper 30 far as nutritive value is
concerned than any kind of forage.
Pars Of this cheapness consists in the
greater ase with which grain if fed in
moderation can be digested. This is
especially true Of spring feeding. As
the time approaches for turning stock
out to grass they should have some
kind Of succulent food given with the
grain ration.

Forms o. League to Combat the Spread OF

The eastern plutocrats are alarmed.
In fact, they are worse frightened now
than at eny time during the recent
campaign, says the St. Louis Post

trend OF sentiment was go strongly
their way during the campaign that,
with the customary provinciali8m of
the east, they could not understand
that any real contest was being waged.
They looked forward to election day az
day as the date when the anarchists
and the free silver lunatics" would be
swept to destruction before an avail

For a little while after election day
they thought their expectations had
been realized. The Gould Sage return

SEATTLE. wash, Aug. 4.-Mrs. Mary
Holmes, who is travelling to the Klondike
with her husband thus describes the scenes
at Skaguay camp in a letter dated Aug.
u: amid sheets of rain and piercing wind
we have have landed at Skaguay. This
landing consists in throwing a rope around
a huge rock and dropping anchor. All one
can see is a towering mountain of solid
black rock, at the side of which runs a
long, marshy common. In the distance
tents are dotted as far as the eye can see
and farther for there are 1000 prospectors
on the route to the White pass. They do
not go on because they cannot. The eager
question at every tent is: Are there any
horses on the Queen?' People who have no
horses need not land at Skaguay.
Hundreds who have given up all hopes
of getting through have staked out lots
and are having houses put up. A sawmiIl
has been started and the owner is planking
it over with the boards. Many prospectors
have been compelled to give up, it being i'm
possible To get over the trail. l am told
that 100 pounds of lumber is much harder
to get over the trail than 300 pounds of
flour. The Indians charge $3.50 to take a
boat over and you can buy one at Lake
Lnderman for $40. The people already here
say the trouble with the prospectors is that
they have brought too much freight. Many
have sold out and returned 10 Juneau to
wait for spring. Others are selling things
for half price, so as to reduce their stores
Flour sells at 90 cents a pound.
provisions are being left all along the
trail. A newspaper seems to be the most
desired article now. Everyone is pleading
for paper. The different stories told are
enough TO drive one distracted. Some say
1t rains like this all the time till snow
sets in, and others that this is the first
rain in weeks. Though the prospectors are
already urging newcomers not TO land if
