THE COTTON sELD OIL TRUST.
Hyde Co, N. q.

Now we are told that the trust, in
stead of paying II cents per bushel
for cotton seed is paying $14 per ton,
or 10 c7nts, which is the ''same price
as the independent mills are pay
ing" The last CLAUSE cOver thyo
whole business. OF course the trust
is paying the same price for seed as
the independent mills. 1t has to.
The only wonder is shat it does not
pay more and run bhe independent
mills out of business. If it can't buy
out all the independent mills, which
it is trying to do, it will certainly
increase the price of seed and reduce
the price of the finished product in
order to run the independent mills
out. When they are bought u or
forced out, presto change! Down
will come the price of seed and up
Will go the price of the mill pro-
ducts.
Does any sane man who knows the
history of the trusts doubt that this
will be the case? Does any sane man
of intelligence contend that a trust
is not organized for the special pur-
pose of reducing expenses and in
oreasing profits, and that this is al
ways done where possible, no matter
who is affected thereby? OF course
no such contention will be made
seriously. 1t is the history of all
the Notwithstanding Landmark.

A CORRECTION.

Correspondence Of The Progressive Farmer.
I think you have me quoted wrong
in my article in THE PROGRESSIVE
FARMER of November 9Th. Where 1
intended to say that on all verbal
contracts the interest should not be
over 6 per cent cClleotable, you have
it 8 per cent. By my suggestion, It
would be understood that a man
would pay the legal rate unless there
should be an agreed rate, and then
he would pay the agreed rate. On
the hest kind of bonds and real estate
collateral, 1 think 6 per cent. a fair
interest, especially whsre the lender
lives in the country where his tax is
not over 66% cents to rs cents on
the hundred dollars.

Mr.. r. M Furman. editor of the
Morning Post, of Raleigh, who has a
taste for this sort of thing and whose
long service as State Auditor gave
him familiarity with the States
financial affairs, has an editorial in
the Pest, November 18th, upon the
suit which the State of S ruth Dako-
ia has instituted against the State
of North Carolina, which aft rds the
olearest exposition of the nature of
the bonds which are being sued
upon, and just what is involved,
that has yet appeared in print. These
bonds are not a part of the fraudu-
lent issue made by the thieving Leg
islature of 1868 and subsequently
repudiated, but were issued by au.
thority of an act of the Legislature
of 1855, which was composed of our
own people, and were "never tain
ted with fraud or so treated at any
time by the State" On the contrary,
their validity was recognized by the
act of the Legislature of 1877 to
compromise, commute and settle
the State debt, and an offer was
made in this act to settle them on
the basis of twenty five cents on the
dollar. These bonds number in all
1,713, of the par value of 81, 900 each
81, 713, 900 and of the issue Of 1,713
all excepting about 800 have been re
deemed at the rate of 25 cents on the
dollar, and cancelled. The bonds, by
the terms of the act by authority of
which they were issued, were a Sec
ond mortgage upon the States stock
in the North Carolina Railroad at
the rate of ten shares of stock of
the face value of $40 each to one
bond of the face value of 1,00O-in
other words dollar for dollar.
Of the 800 bonds outstanding ten
have come into the possession of the
State of South Dakota, and upon
these suit is brought. AS a matter of
course if South D4kota is permitted
by the Supreme Court of the United
States to enforce her claim, the hOl-
ders of the remainder of the 800
bonds outstanding will transfer
them to some State or States which
will sue upon them and recover The
State owns 80, 90 shares of stock in
the North Carolina Railroad, and
these 300 bonds outstanding are u
mortgage upon 5000 shares of it
The stock is now worth $40 per
share, 80 two shares of stock would
pay for more than $500 worth of
bonds.-Charlotte Observer.

THE NEWS AND OBSERVERS OPINION.
The air will be full of denials and
the like but the attempt of the
Southern Railway manipulators to
obtain possession of the North Car
DINA Railroad is so plain that no.
body will be deceived by denials. II
she railroad should be sold under
this suit who would be the bidders?
AS the Southern Railway has u
ninety nine year lease on the road,
who else would care to bid? Who
could bid on equal terms? If the
Southern Railway sChemers own or
control most of the bonds on which
the present suit is brought, and If
they have gObbled it up at u song as
seems to be the case-then they
would not only make millions OF

A Wisconsin Cow.

From the Lake Mills, Wis, Leader,
published 10 prosperous dalrylng
district, the following is copied:
It is a we'll known fact that VIM;
Everson believes in good COWS ana
proves his faith by his works in keep
ing such. He INDUCES the oelle1 thaI
fine Holstein breed of COWS IS JUST ohe
breed to have. and occasionally he has
tests made to see if his COWS are up 10
the level of his faith in them. lie mas
inst had a test made of young COW,
/ wears and 3 months of age, and founa
that she gave AT 7Jf0 ponds or milk
in seven days, which tested tour per
cent butter fat and yielded ~ pounds
and la ounces of butter. Ihls COW
was bred and raised by VIM. Everson
on his farm in the town OF Lake Mills,
is full blood Holstein, and certainly
gives proof that the owner not only
has good stock to breed from, put
that he is reaping a rich reward ior
the pains he has taken in the selection
and propagation of his herd. Ihls
cows name is Genevra Colanthus, ana
whether the name has anything TO 40
with her ability to fill milk pals or
butter tubs or not, it will no doubt be
remembered by Mr.. Everson as the
name of grand good COW, of grand
good breed and strain. The test Was
official and but one cow in this state IN
her class has ever shown a better test.

Weed Out Cow Boarders.

There are two varieties of COWS
the COW that gives more than she eats
and the cow that eats more than she
gives. Which variety would you pre-
fer in making up dairy herd?
Which variety do you actually have?
Now there is no difficulty about telling
the COW of one class from the COW of
the other. There used to be, but there
isn't now. The Babcock test does it..
The apparatus consists of a small
scale, Babcock test, and little
gumption. BY testing each COW sepa-
rately man can soon tell which ones
are paying profit and which are
merely boarders.-American Agricul-
turist.

wheat until it was almost barren,
The young German bought sixteen
acres OF it and from that was sup
porting himself and family. He
kept eight fine dairy cows. and
raised other products. principally
vegetables, for home use. Eight
acres suficed to furnish the food
necessary for his, cows. He fed
them corn fodder summer and win
ter, keeping them in a small en-.
closure, not pasturing them at all.
These cows manifested the suffic-
irncy of their feed by yielding
enough butter totake care of this
enterprising farmers family.
Peter McGeogh, who lives near
the same place, is keeping ESQ
cows and young stock on a farm of
240 acres. He has the largest siIo,
perhaps in the world. 1t is circu-
lar, siXty-six feet in diameter and
sixty-two feet high and will hold
all the fodder corn raised on 100
acres.
Another neighbor, L. B.Leonard,
raised eighteen tons of green ensi-
lage, corn cut when the ear is in
the milk. from one acre of land.
Harry Faville was at his place last
summer, and they cut a stalk
which measured fourteen feet in
length harvested for the silo.
These facts are mentioned merely
to indicate the possibilities, Gen.
trail Minnesota is just as we'll
adapted to this kind of farming as
is Wisconsin. There is land enough
in this vicinity to maintain ten
times the population we now have.
The HERALD does not expect that
our farmers are going to plunge at
once into the successful methods of
old, long settled farming communi-
ties; but when they consider the
possibilities it furnishes an incen-
tive to work toward them.
A splendid beginning has been
made. A large number of practi-
cal men are not only seriously
thinking, but they are adopting
these methods gradually, and in no
case will one ever return to the old
wasteful and Improbable way of
doing things. Wheat Is going, and
going fast, from this vicinity. Corn
and stock, diversified grain and
vegetable crops, are receiving at
tention. There need be no appre-
hension that these new lines will
be overdone. There is a clamor-
Gus demand and remunerative
prices for prime butter and cheese,
good beef, pork, lamb and mutton,
and for beans, cabbage, onions and
like crops. Give these suggestions
serious thought and adopt such of
them as commend themselves to
your Judgment.

The Sank Centre HERALD is anoth er
Republican county paper to take a
''whack" at the advice given by the
democratic county committee, and
other leading democrats, to the DEM
ocratic members of the board and
county officers, to bestOw their official
patronage upon the democratic papers.
The HERALD calls 1t "cheeky, - ire
CARELESS of law" "regardless of pub
lie interests, and a lot of other rot!
Charley Hendryx is no man fool,
much as he talks like one in the arti-
Gle in question. He knows that this
very custom is followed in every re-
publican county in the state; he knows
that every particle of patronage,
whether of Office or printing, goes to
republicans, he knows every adyer-
tisement issued by any department of
the national administration is given

any logical reason why the democrats,
when they are IN control. should not
do likewise? Cloud Times.
Well, really, the HERALD know S
of no illogical reason why the
democrats" should not submit to
the dictation of their party organ
in the matter, except that the law
of the state is against it. 1t defines
very explicitly what the board of
county commissioners must do in
the matter of awarding county
printing, aad there is nothing
there which indicates that a party
organ is entitled to any considera-
zion because it is party organ, or
because it contributed money to a
campaign fund. To be sure the
mere matter of law is no illogical
reason" in the opinion of the
Times, but there are those who do
think that law is paramount to dem
ocratic partisan demands. But the
Times has no fault to find, and the
HERALD promises not to find any
