C, will open a general merchandise store in Mocksville, at an early day. The Cabarrus County Alliance has passed a resolution not to purchase books, agricultural implements, etc., from traveling agents. Fcientific farming in Italy is to be undertaken this year by a company owning a capital of 20,000.000. If the operations prove successful the old wooden plough, pulled by oxen, that has held the field since an era before the Roman Caesars, will probably have 40 go. 4 the close of the Farmers' Insti tute, at Poughkeepsie, N. Y., last week a consolidation was effected be tween the "New York State Farmers' League" and the "Farmers' Alliance" of New York, the new officers being Edgar A. Knapp, President; N. G. Spaulding, Corresponding Secretary ; B. W. Corwin, Secretary ; A. M. Ubl, Treasurer. The officers of the Farmers National League are George T. Powell, President; Herbert Mynch, Secretary ; E. P. White, Treasurer. The new consolidation has a -membership of over 1000. The Weekly Crisis (Chillicotho, Mo.,) says: "The dispatches informs us that tbo V:"uia legislature passed a resolu tion requesting Congress to provide for the loaning of money to the people' ct 2 per cent. This is the first gun that has been fired by a legislative body for government loans. Let oth er legislatures act. More money is the great need. To savo the people from bankruptcy it must be put in circulation immediately, and the only way to do this is to loan it to the peo ple." The Moffattsville Alliance, of An derson County, S. C, certainly takes the lead among her sister County Al liances in one particular. On Satur day morning not a stick of timber had been cut from the forest, and on the next Satnrday, having worked six days, they had a sufficiently neat, comfortable and commodious Hall of their own, and were very pleasantly and profitably entertained for two or more hours by Messrs. J B. Watson and W. T. Bowden. Score one for this Alliance, and if any others are ahead let us hear from them. The Marion County Farmers Alli ance (Buena Vista, Ga.) This is the kind of goods that wears: "The object aud aim of the Far mers Alliance and Industrial Union, according to our understanding, i higher and grander thau is generally considered by the majority. Our guns are not loaded for small game. We see no justice in the action of our Government lending its aid to nation al banks and wealthy corporations, when the Kan.as farmer is burning com for fuel, while men women and children are starving in the coal mines of Illinois and Pennsylvania. There is something radically wrong in this gtate of affairs, and we propose to fer ret it out, even if it takes two winters and the best part of a tummer. When a debating fociety meets and the question is up, "Does Farming Pay?" and tie spread eagle orator on the affirmative side has brought all hie eloquence and logic to bear to prove his prcmifcs, we do not intend he hall be answcn-J and annihilated by his opponent rinng and taking a shov el full of corn and throwing it into the stove without utt ring a word." Neither do we intend that the same grade of cotton, which tell? on the streets of Bucna YUta for 1G cents per pound, in Jauusry, hall sell in the same market for and 9 cents per pound in September, Octo ber, and November. This applies with eqnal force to the Americas, Columbus and Savannah markets." SUD-TItKA: l'I;Y PI.IX. At a meeting ef the Agricultural College Alliance. No. 1.978, held in Raleigh, N.

Resolved, That the Secretary of this Alliance be, and he is hereby, in structed ta forward to our immediate Representative iu Congress; Hon. Al fred Rowland, and to each of our Sen ators, Hon. Z. B.

Natural Fertilizer Found In Virginia. Extract from a letter in the Couutry Gentleman : "Another good thing for Eastern Virginia is the development of the im mense ' deposit of marl not marl, strictly speaking, but "green eand" rich in potash and phosphoric acid. It is found in the "eocene" or oldest formation of the "tertiary period," and its development and use mean an entire revolution of the agricultural iuterests of Eastern Virginia. It is sure to do fur our portion of the "Old Dominion" what the same kind of material has done for the State of New Jersey viz :' "Make the wilderness to blofsdin like the rose." "everfcl stock oortfyauies have been organizod for working these beds, and our farmers are now to be supplied with a fertilizer from the natural beds, which, without any manipulstio whatever, shows from 3 to 4 per cen. of potash and from 0 to S per cent. o. phosphoric acid. " The piice is to be in the neigh berhood of 2;a0 per ion. Thoie who are accustomed to commercial fertili sers can very readily see that .the cctual value of this product is far in excels of the price at which it is offer ed. How these chemicals were depos ited in thee beds, only nature knows, snd she has not t'dd aa yet Tbey are there, however, cleverly snd skillfully manipulated in her own laboratory Chemical analysis febows it, and if this were not enough the land I very quickly thows it which, to the farnS er& is the most conclusive of all proofs. It is another evidence of the wonderful goodnasa of ' Old iJame i Nature" to man. For years man has ! apparently been doing hif best to ex ! hsust the soil of Virginia. Now there is discovered at his vrry feet a j pro duct cheap enough to brisg back all the lands of Eastern Virginia to their original strength and productiveness." -A JtrrEtts. Norfolk County. Va .

Prof. W. F. Masse j, of the IUleigb Agricultural and Mechanical College, in a letter to the Home and Farm says: "Ensilage and winter dairying wt soon be one of the chief means of lift ing the farmers of North Carolina out of the sjotjgh of dcypond into which the failure of the cotton crop has plunged C- Our farmers will bj ' ready enough to diversify their farm ing as soon as the way to do is made so plain to them ;! but having all tbeit Uvea known but! the one crop of cot ton, everything elie looks Tike t risky experiment to them. With the meanest of Northern butter now sell- ing at Raleigh (t 35 cents a pound aud good butter mach higher, there if; room for much more to be done profit ' ably in supplying the home market. All this red clay uppland country ia 1 North Carolina will grow as good grass as any country, as is plainly to be seen on farms around this city ( where the owners have gone into grass. " The ame is true of all the up land country between Raleigh and Augusta and Atlanta, Ga. And yet our Raleigh butchers have to depend on the Richmond market for good beef cattle, simply because none srw raised in North Carolina, at least in this part of the State. The cnsilsgo practice of the winter dairy, with the more abundant supply of manure will soon change all this aud theso red bills, with their perennial streams of pure water, will feed cattle more profitably than they now grow cotton. And in the level sandy Ivids of the country no better adjunct can be had to a truck farm than a filo and a good herd of cows, even if the dairying brought no pre fit except the manure. Corn and cowpea ensilage, with crim son clover for spring cutting will aid a trucker in getting his land into the best condition for market crops more rapidly than anything else. This crimson clover is not yet half appreciated in the South. It is an ual, anel should be sown iu Septcm her without a grain crop. It i ready lo cut in April, aud tho land can then be plowed for other crop and will be found improve! by the, process. ! If sown early with winte-1 oats it will make the best of winter' pasturagj? " I sliall have more to Lay on tbn plant as we are making further expcrt iments with it. While it will grow on poorer lan l than red clover, it is. vestly improved by heavy manuring A gentleman near Raleigh cut three ton per acre of good hay from this last year, and mado ore-r 1,000 pounds of ?ecd per acre. 1 V F.
