NOTES FROM

Correspondence OF T~heProgressive Farmer.
The Alamance County Alliance
met in the town Of Graham on Janu-
arY 9th. Most of the Sub-Alliances
we're represented, and a most enjoy
able meeting was held. AS most of
those who aspired to Office in our
County Alliance 'got there" and
have left the Order and gone TO
richer pastures than those to be
found on the farm, there were not
so many wrongs TO be complained of
and to be righted. So we just had a
love fesst-a good enjoyable meet
ing, a free brotherly interchange of
opinions and we all went home feel
ing that we had been richly repaid
by our attendance. We adjourned
to meet next the second Thursday in
April, at which meeting it is desired
that all members who wish TO get
their fertilizers for spring and sum-
mer crops will be prepared to confer
with Bro. Jno. W. Bason, of Haw
River.
We q much pleased TO learn
that our worthy and much esteemed
County Lecturer, Henry NJ. Gates, is
going to take the field soon. He has
never been in politics, but is a man
with opinions and is neither ashamed
TO hold or utter them. He is an up
TO date progressive farmer and not
ashamed to try new methods when
he finds them best.
Mr.. Gates shows his faith by his
works. He has given four OF his
children good eduoations a son in
the A. & NJ. College stands high in
all his studies, and his only daughter
is in the State Normal at Greens
boro, having won her scholarship in
q competitive examination. Mr..
Gates when a mere boy was hurried
to the field of conflict. He never
had a chance TO get book learning,
bus in all the walks of life he has
one we'll. B. +. WHITE.

correspondence Of The Progressive Farmer.
Most farmers in our neighborhood
want the birds killed off their farms
because they damage their crops ;
but, I am sorry TO say, we have one
man, although he is good and wise
in some things, is as cranky as a
loon on the subject of killing birds.
He says they do more good than
harm. He even tries to protect them
against the attacks of hawks, cats,
etc. Not a sparrow falls out it's nest
but that he is ready to take it up
and put it back, or put in some other
safe place.
He has even gone so far several
times as to forbid US sportsmen to
shoot birds on his farm (patcb) even
during the winter months when
there is no restraint against it by
law. But as his little scrap of land
is not posted, we do not regard what
he says, but go ahead and shoot birds
wherever we please on his land-at
times when not restrained by law.
OF course, the fellow becomes
wrathy and talks big when we are
birding on his farm, but he never
does anything. In fact, he never
tries to do anything. He knows it
is useless. He is as poor as Jobs
turkey and has lost what little in
fuence he ever had because of his
queer and absurd notions about these
things. The whole neighborhood
says he is acting very foolishly in
the matter.
How vain, foolish and absurd it is
for a man to go against the views of
all his neighbors! If a man kicks
against the majority he is almost
sure TO be run over, and he ought to
be run over.
I have submitted the above hoping
that you and others might be in
duced TO write up the above subject
exhaust vely. In conclusion, allow
me TO ask: Does not a sportsman
have a right TO shoot birds on any
unposted land during the time he is
not pr ohibited by law?

l came TO this county last Thurs
day afternoon and have enjoyed my
stay among the brethren very much.
1 find the farmers here in better con-
dition, financially, than any place
I've visited in the State. Their
crops were much better here last
year than crops in any other section
in which I have been; their money

taking of a bountiful dinner az the

FOREST FIRES IN THE SOUTHERN AP.
PALACHIANs.

correspondence of The Progressive Farmer.
In an interesting paper on "Prao
teal Forestry in the Southern APP
palachians" written by the Superin-
tendent of Working plans of the
Bureau of Forestry, and published
in the Yearbook of the Department
of Agriculture for 1900, particular
attention is called to the extent Of
damage in the southern Appalach
ians by forest fires. These fires,
which annually sweep the noun
tains, are found to be on the in
crease, and the absence of heavy
snowfalls and of a marked rainy sea.
gon make them a constant and grow
ing menace. Owing to these peouli
arities of climate it is extremely
difficult to check the fires when once
started, and the damage done by
them is very great. Carelessness on
the part of hunters or in the lumber
camps is responsible for some of
them, but by far the larger number
are started by the farmers, in the
long established belief that burning
over the woods in the autumn i'm
proves the pastures the following
year. No attempt is made TO restrict
the area burned, and the fires spread
TO the foot hills and mountains, and
rage unmolested for days and even
weeks. Aside from the great dam
age done the standing timber, these
fires have &C baked and burned the
forest soil over large sections that is
can support but little vegetation anC
is easily washed away by the rain
In this way the storage capacity of
the soil for the waters Of the many
streams which head in this diatrict
is seriously injured, aud the eff
cienoy of the streams impaired. In
vestigatiOns OF jhe United st tee
Geological Survey have shown tAese
rivers to be a most important part
of the OF the South for
supply and water power and the
series of measurements and observa.
tions taken by the Survey have dem
onstrAted that there is still much
reserve power which may be utilized.
As the greatest efficiency of these
streams in steadiness of flow depends
upon the protection of the forest
cover about their head waters, the
destructive forest fires will be seen
TO be working widespread injuries
wherever their waters are used.

cred the elixOr of life. That he is able with the
aid of a mysterious compound, known only to
himself, produced as q result of the years he
has spent in searching for this precious life
giving boon, to cure any and every disease
that is known to the human body. There is
no doubt of the doctors earnestneSs in making
his claim and the remarkable cures that he is
daily efecting seems to bear him out very
strongly. His theory which he advances is one
of reason and based on sound experience in q
medical practice of many years. It costs moth
ing to try his remarkable elixir of Life" as
he calls it, for he sends it free, to anyone who
vince of it's ability to cure, SO there is absolutely
no risk to run. So e OF the cures cited are
very remarkable and but for reliable witnesses
would hardly be credited. The lame have
thrown away crutches and walked about after
two or three trials of the remedy. The sick,
given up by home doctors, have been restored
to their families and friends in perfect health.
rheumatism, neuralgia, stomach, heart, liver,
kidney, blood and skin diseases and bladder
troubles disappear as by magic. Headaches,
backaches, nervousness, feVers,
coughs, colds, asthma, catarrh, bronchitis and
all affections of the throat, lungs or any vital
organ are easily overcome in a space of time
that is simply marvellous.
govt, scrofula and piles are quickly and per-
manently remOved. It purifPs the entire sys-
tenn, blood and tissues, restores normal nerve
power, circulation and a state of perfect health
is produced at once. To the doctor all systems
are alike and equally affected by this great
"EliXir of Life" Send for the remedy to-day.
1t is free to every sufferer. State what you
want to be cured of and the sure remedy for
it will be sent you tree by mail.
