Farmers Cotton selling Union.

Every one who has given any atten-
ton to the price of cotton must have
noticed the gradual fall in price which
usually takes place from the opening
of the market in September to the close
of the year. The chief reason for this
decline Is no doubt to be found In the
rapid gathering of the cotton and
rusing into market. Now, 1t seems
to me plan might be adopted where
by cotton should not be allowed to fall
below fixed price, which should be
fixed by the farmers themselves.
Suppose it should be desired to fix
the unanimous price at ten cents. Then
let Farmers Union" consisting of
fifty or more, unite in holding, say one
fourth of the crop, which shall not be
sold for less than ten cents per pound.
If in every county in the cotton-grow-
ing states this association should be
formed, then three or four millions OF
bales would be held for not less than
ten cents. Does anyone doubt that the
price of cotton would thus be main
tanned at ten cents or more?
Surely the farmers are able to hold
one-fourth of the crop until they
choose to sell. If they would only CO.
operate in doing this they could fix the
price of cotton. AS they grow in in
telligence, they will be able to do this,
and spectators must cease to make
more out of cotton than the producers
dow. L. c. H., in Dixie Farmer.

FARMER AND PLANTER.
CATTLE IN SOUTH CAROLINA
Results show That II Is PrOatable
For Every Farmer To- Raise
Some Cattle.

The farmers Of the south are doubt
less in better financial condition now
than at any time since the war.
Their crops have been good and
prices better. While cotton is King"
1t is we'll not to place entire depend
ence on that one crop, but to raise
variety of crops so If one should fail
they may have others to rely on.
1t is well to have some improved live
stock on every farm, to which may be
fed their surplus and such rough food
as there is Emitted demand for On the
market. thereby increasing the supply
of manure for the farm. This may as
well be fed to good, well-bred stock as
to the native, az there Is no doubt of
greater profit. If your cottonseed-meal
can be sold to dealers and laid down
here freight prepaid at $2S.25 and hulls
at $3.50 for our cattlenen to feed at
profit, l see no reason WHY it SHOULD
not be fed at greater profit ON your
own farms l saw a farmer in this state
yesterday who is feeding 1875 cattle av-
eraging 1000 pounds each on cotton
seed-meal and hulls and throwing in a
little corn fodder and straw. He ex-
poets to feed these cattle one hundred
days at gain of two pounds each per
day and to sell them at SLIPS per 100
pounds more than they cost. Why
can't the farmers of the south do this
or even better, as their meal and bulls
must be much cheaper than after it
passes through the hands of the mid
dleman" to the Kentucky farmer and
feeder.
Some hesitate to buy pure bred cat
tie from the north on account Of risk
from fever. Last winter shipped and
sold several carloads of pure bred and
grade breeding stock to the south and
after thorough enquiry have failed
to find any that have not done well
and none that have died from stick
fever" Most of your states have their
state veterinarian, whose duty it is to
inoculate cattle for any resident Of
their respective states.
My success with what / have sold
and the satisfaction given purchasers
has led me to ship two carloads of
Red Polls, Shorthorn and Polled Dur
ham cattle to the South Carolina state
fair, October 25, for exhibition and
sale.
One car will contain registered stock
only, and the other grades, many of
which are as good individually as those
registered and as pure bred, but no
pedigrees kept up. This shipment will
give the residents Of South Carolina
and adjoining states an opportunity to
buy this improved stock laid down at
their own doors practically, and the
state veterinary ready to inoculate
them free of cost should parties desire.
Whether or not they will take adj
vantage of this remains to be demon
strated, but l should judge from the
many enquiries am receiving through
the assistance of the advertising
houses of your valuable paper, there
will be many present who will likely
buy.-L. L. Dorsey, in Southern Guilt

He had not called to speak of the

somewhat rudely: II was not aware

She answered absently, cropping her

uncertain in further details she swift

football of Thanks day! They would
have had their offending feet stuck
through pillory in no time!"
Instead of legs done up in surgical
splints-wooden customs BOTH" He
refused to be serious.
She felt without seeing that he was
approaching the window again. The
pilgrims wouldn't hold out much
longer, owing to her uncertain his
torical data. Was William Penn the
first governor of the colony? Or was
Gotten Mather? She must say some
thing, or that inevitable question, and
if she were to say yes to this frivol-
GUS person, what should she say to
the new Presbyterian minister of the
red brick church,"
"Is it yes-dear?" There was a very
personal note in the voice this time,
and hand was ominously near her
own on the window ledge.
Tiff you were more serious about

KILLING OUT GRASS.
A False Notion That Seems to Pos
sess the Majority OF the
Southern Farmers.

"Kill the Grass has been the war
cry on the farm ever since can re-
member. AS the hands start out with
the plows and hoes, the command is
given to kill the grass" Go for Gen.
Green "Clean him off of the face of
the EARTH" and it is all very well to
carry this out among the growing
crops, and in regard to some pestif-
erous grasses and weeds. Such as
nut grass, bull nettle, Scotch thistle,
thorny wild carrot, etc., not seed of
these should be left to tell the tale;
but the "kill grass" cry should not be
toe long nor too loud, as it may preju-
dice us too strongly against the whole
grass family, resulting in our loss and
injury, for there are several grasses,
(clover included), that are as worthy
of our cultivation as either corn or cot
ton.
An acre we'll set in the evergreen
grasses is worth more annually than
an acre of any other crop. 1t only has
to be seeded but once, and yields its
rich hay or pasturage annually for
many years.
Bermuda is of course the pasture
grass of the south for sr:smer use,
but when frosts come it disappears
until the summer sun comes again.
A pasture of the sweet and nutritious
perennial grasses, such as orchard, red
top, rye grass, timothy, meadow, Tus-
can, red clover, alfalfa, or lucerne and
blue grass, will afford the richest of
grazing, while the Bermuda is gone to
sleep.
A proper mixture of the perennial
grasses is far better than any one OF
them alone, as each variety contains
food elements in different proportions,
also because some suit wet weather
and some dry weather, thus keeping the
pasture in best condition the year
round. For an annual hay crop we
know of nothing better than crimson
clover, and Italian rye grass, mixed.
Alfalfa is the best all-round food
crop for stock that can be planted. It
comes nearer being perfect food than
any other plant. 1t is best to SOW It
in drills in this section drills twelve
to fifteen inches apart, laid off with
q bull-tongue pillow, in which SOW the
seed at rate Of twelve or fifteen pounds
per acre, without covering.
It supplies an abundance Of protein
the great muscle-building element of
food. There are I'll pounds of protein
to the ton of alfalfa hay, being double
the quantity found in most other hay
crops.
Any land that will make good oats
will make alfalfa.
There is considerable talk about its
being necessary to doctor" the land
in order to succeed with this plant. I
have grown it successfully without any
artificial treatment, yet, if intended
to plant again, would use the inocu-
lated soil, as only homeopathic doses
are necessary. and the cost is but lit
tie, and the bacteria needed for the
plant will then be provided. assuring
success.
Your advice, Mr.. Editor, to SOW
hairy vetch and burr clover on Bermu-
da grass sod, is good, as by doing so
the pasture Is doubled In value. Mark
w. Johnson, in Dixie Farmer.

SPIRIT OF
THANKSGIVING
ISIS More Blessed TO Gee
Than TO ReeefUe.

tn PHILOSOPHERS and philanthro-
~ pists not only indorse the famil-
LIZ lar and beloved aphorism, ''It is
more blessed to give than to receive"
but go step further and claim that tho
capacity to receive is absolutely depend
ent on capacity to spend; that to main
tain receptive attitude towards all the
good and enjoyable things of this world,
one must spend. The same truth is ex-
pressed again in the statement, ''He that
loseth his life shall find it." We have
come to interpret this paradox as mean
ing that true happiness is attained only
when the seeker gets as far from his
own personality as possible and inter-
ests himself in the life of the world or
of the individuals around him. In pro-
portion as we give spontaneously will
we receive freely. The gift need not al
ways be tangible and material; it may
be the more valuable because of its spir-
itual quality, but into whatever we be-
stow some part of ourselves should en-.

Thanksgiving is the festival of the
family and for that reason is sad ami
versary to the exiles from home, or to
those who, lacking home ties, are alone
in the world. 1t offers an especial occa-
sion therefore for the bestowal of hap
piness. There is certain embarrass.
ment about inviting the stranger to a
Christmas feast because custom calls for
an exchange of gifts, but no such obli-
cation rests upon the Thanksgiving
guest and the poorest may accept with
out loss of dignity or pride. The Farm
ers' Voice is right-unless We can truly
feel that we have occasion to rejoice over
our own or some one else's good fortune,
we would do better not to mock honest
sentiment by going through the form of
an observation of the day; but If the
Thanksgiving spirit is ours, wherever it
is possible let us take down the bars of
consanguinity and open our hearts to
the family of the world, instead of
spreading the spiritual and material
feast for "me and my wife, my son John
and his wife; us four and no more"
