A PAPER.

Editor Johnson of Charity and
Children recently scored that class
Of people who discontinue their sub
scription by "a cutting message on a
postal card, Stop my paper, or the
abrupt information sent by a post
master, refused, without a word of
explanation" Continuing, he said =:
IF the Editor has offended you, or
if YOU do not wish to continue taking
his paper, sit down and write the
man a decent letter (nOt a postal
card) and tell him all abOutit That
is the polite thing to do, and while it
will cost you two cents it will be
money we'll invested. Besides it will
give the editor a chance to defend
himself against possible injustice
and may open your eyes to some
facts you did not know before. 1t al
ways pays to do the fair thing.
Spend two cents and quit like man.
You will feel better for it and save
the feelings of another"
While we have very little cause
for complaint along this line, as the
circulation of The Progressive Far
mer is steadily increasing and few Of
the old guard dropping off we never
theless feel like endorsing the state
ments quoted from Bro. Johnson.
Only last week a gentleman called at
the office to stop his paper because
of misunderstanding of our position
on a certain matter. A moments
explanation put him straight. Had
he adopted the mode criticised by
Bro. johnson he would still have a
mistaken idea of course.

HONOR TO WHOM HONOR IS DUE.

No n has more severely con-
demned the present election law
than The Progressive Farmer. We
believe, however, that it should
have credit for each and every fair
nrovision it contains. It is being
charged that it gives to the Demo
Gratis all the judges Of the election.
The charge is untrue. The law says
that the county board of elections
shall appoint two persons "who shall
act as Judges of the election at each
place of holding elections in their
respective districts, each of whom
shall be men of good character and
able to read and write, and they shall
be of different political parties"

RAPE IN NORTH CAROLINA.

In the article by Prof. Henry
printed last week he says: $50 far
as known to the writer the only in
sect pest attacking rape is a plant
louise which severely Injuries it in hot
weather."
There is another insect, also a bug,
which does great harm to rape in
North Carolina. This is the terrapin
bug, or calico bug, (murgantia his
triOnica).
Rape should be sOwn very early
for spring use or in later mid summer
for fall grazing for two reasons.
First, that it does better at those
times and corn, COW pea, or sorghum
does much better in the early sum-
mer while, second, the bug enemy
will thus be avoided except during
seasons which there is much dry hot
weather in the fall. F. E. E.

THEO. T. KLUTTZ.

WASHINGTON, D. c., May II, 19N
Frank E. Emery; Esq, Raleigh, NC;
DEAR SIR Your favor of 18th
inst. to hand. I wrote you hurriedly
and with no thought Of print, but l
have no objection of being quotedOn
the oleomargarine question.
[ am in favor of pure foods, and
especially of genuine butter. The
vote on the Tauney resolution, which
I heartily supported, shows what
the House would do if it could geta
chance to vote on the Circuit bill
That vote, on Il privileged question,
was a triumph over the Ways and
Means Committee, and was really d
test vote on the question. I favored
it, because [ thought the House and
the public entitled to know the real
composition of the oleo stuff, and
this knowledge, I believe will DO
much to open the eyes of the country
to the deleteriOus nature Of this sub
stitute for butter.
The CIRCUIT bill does not propose to
interfere with the manufacture Or
sale of OleOmargarine as such, butH
does seek to restrict it's manufacture
and sale to it's own merits, and 70
prevent it's fraudulent sale as anu
for genuine butter. The additional
tax of ten cents per pound IS IN
posed only when it is colOred in 1ml
tatiOn Of butter, and I can see ID
honest objection to this, but instead
a protection not only to the dairyln.
terests, but to the butter buying anu
butter-eating public as well.
If the stuff is Wholesome, as tI5
manufacturers allege, let it be SOLO
in it's natural state, on its merl'',
and not as a cOIored counterfeit u
pure butter. IF not so colored anu
sold, then the additional tax IS NJ.
levied upon it. The revelations u
the Ubiquitous frauds in Penn'yi
vania show how necessary such legs
latiOn is.
Very truly, yours,
THEO. F. KLUTT2'

CONTROL OF CONTAGIOUS DISEASES OF
LIVE STOCK.

There has just been issued from
the Biological Division Of the State
Department of Agriculture a neat
pamphlet under the above title.
Readers of The Progressive Farmer
whose names are not on the depart
ment mailing list will do themselves
a benefit by sending for this pam
phlet and registering their names
for other publications of this depart
ment Of the State government.
You will find this one full of mat
ter pithy and pointed in its line and
this for your benefit. The State De-
partment of Agriculture is taking an
advanced stand all along the line of
agricultural Improvement and in the
division which issues the pamphlet
now under review is second to no
similar division in any State. You
will note that not only is it in close
touch with the U. S. Bureau of Ami
NAL Industry, but that that Bureau
is being asked to define its position
and to take position on movement Of
stock in relation to diseases which
may be regulated, but which without
such regulation might result in in
jury to North Carolina breeders.
The present Board Of Agriculture
is d progressive set of men and have
installed active efficient officers in
this department. The consequence
is a real awakening along new lines
and the effusiOn of more life into the
department., perhaps, than yer be-
fore-certainly more than since the
days of Col. Polk, when this was q
new untried part of the State gov
ernment.
The stock law and quarantine map
is well worth a postal card to secure
the bulletin. It is included in the
bulletin. This shows all free range
and stock law territory as defined by
present State laws. The y. S. Quar-
antine line is also shown. This line
marks the boundary by which the
value of all cattle on the South and
East T condemned to pass to the
shambles for immediate slaughter if
shipped to any Northern point. This
is an ~effectual barrier against the free
shipment of even the very best of
breeding stock. The bulletin saws
The Federal quarantine of the cattle
traffic Of 81 counties of this State,
while the traffic of Is others is not
inferred with, leads to a consideration
of the means by which they too may
obtain free traffic. The conditions
of the stock law area are such that
on the part of cattle owners BUT LIT
TIE EFFORT Is NECESSARY TO FREE ITS
ENTIRE TRAFFIC.
If this last statement is true-and
we know it to be true-then the cat
tie owners of all the stock law region
have the power to remove the dis
elimination of the q. S. quarantine
law against the movement and there
fore the value of their cattle by a
''little effort" That this effort will
be accompanied by saving much
value in cattle now sometimes lost
by disease and raising the value of
stock in the territory thus freed
from restraint is without question
and will be so recognized as fast S
these cattle owners begin to investi-
gate it for themselves. Crush out
disease, gentlemen, and take your
Legitimate places in the live stock
traffic Of the nation. f. E. E.

From report of Internal Revenue
1OO.O6

The above was taken from Raleigh
Morning Post May 18th, 1900. This
shows manufacturers formula as
we understand it for the year ending
June 1899. What factory, or COM
bination of factories used this for
mula is not stated. Some of the
figures T not exact, since it should
foot down to 100. There is less stear-
inc than we had been led to suppose.
If this is the general formula for
OleOmargarine to date the water in
it could come from the milk used in
the manufacture. There would be
some water from the cream. But
the finished product contains much
less salt than given in the formula,
so the per centage of each other in
gredient would be somewhat higher
than given in the above formula.
But New York chemists have
found from 8 to II per cent. of
paraffine in several lots they ana
Iyzed." "Paraffne is an absolutely
indigestible petroleum product"
1.-The editor Of the Chicago Dairy
produce has a~scertained that a large
quantity Of stearine is used in the
cheaper goods where a great deal Of
cotton seed oil is used in order to
give the mixture the body that is
necessary" Thus it would seem
that even the revenue officials have
been duped as to the composition of
this stuff and that there is no end to
the cheap stuff that is used when
it can be found cheaper than some
thing else and that consistency can
be reduced or increased at will of
operator by using ''any old thing at
hand without regard to statements
filed in Washington or to consumers
stomachs. The more this fraud is
aired the more reasons come to light
why this nefariOus trade should be
taxed into ''innocuous desuetude."
TUBERCLE BACILLI FOUND IN OLEOMAR-

Editorial.
ALLIANCE MATTERS.

Visiting HillsbOrO last week, we
found Secretary Parker quite optim-
istic as to the future of the Alliance.
The Order is steadily gaining ground
in spite of political excitement, and
unless all signs fail, with good man
agement and brotherly feeling on
the part of the present members
in things essential, unity in all
things, Charity'-thOrOugh re-Or-
ganization after the August election
will be easy.
From Columbus, Wayne, GuilfOrd,
Brunswick and nearly all other
counties comes news of steadily in
crossing numbers and renewed en-
thusiasm. A new Sub. has recently
been organized in Alexander and a
general revival in the Piedmont and
mountain counties is expected.
Bro. Parker has nearly 50, 900
worth of Alliance shoes on hand and
wishes it known that he is still
ready to fill orders. The shoes have
given almost universal satisfaction.
The State Alliance adjourned last
year to meet again August 18th, 1900.
This is only a few days after the
August election and most Alliance
lei with whom we have talked be
lieve that it would be better to post
pOne the State meeting for two or
three weeks. Political feeling will
then have subsidized and the brethren
will have had time to consider plans
and measures for the promotion of
the Alliance cause. Going only a
few days after the elimination of a
heated campaign, it is feared that
the delegates would not be prepared
by previous study, planning, and
consultation with brother Alliance
men, for the really great work be-
fore them. If a majority of the
counties at their July meetings in
struct their delegates not to go to
HillsbOrO. August 18th, ask the Presi-
dent to call a meeting within a stated
period after that time, the delegates
to attend the called meeting, the
State Alliance meeting can be post
pOned otherwise, it cannot be done.
Several counties have already de-
clared in favor of the change and so
far only one has opposed it.
