IFarmers' Unionl Bureau of Iii forn atio u. t -Condute by the- t South Cnrolinu Fariners' Editeatlonal and Co-Operative Union. Ucin un irlt int itledcl for thiv del,ar wuent should be addressed .t o J. C. Stribling, Pendleton, South Carolina. Here are some good rules to paste - up in your books to be road out the first thing at the beginning of the t business feature of your mueetirags: 1. Are we union men? 2. Do we know that to be good Union men we must submit to the will of the majority? 3. Have we come together for the 4 purpose of combining our strength for the good of the fraternity as a whole, or have any of us assembled for self-aggrandizement of pecuniary interest of individuals or cliques? 4. Have we come together for the purpose of hunting up good things to talk of for our benetit, or are we hunting for more trouble by talking I over the mean things that others hav: done? 5. When you want a thing done be sure to get very busv lmen to do it I for you; never think of appointing men to do important work for the Union that are not now, nor never were, worth a cent for anything. 9. If you are out looking for good you will be sure to find something good, and if you are out looking for bad things you will find more of this than you want very soon. + *x ] L ictl Farmers' Unions are some A thing like good crops, they thrive best when planted on good soil in the counl ry and where well cultivated. One reason for this is that when local Unions meet in the towns there 18 more or less bu'siness and other attract ons that dr v nembers away front the met tongs in town while there is usually no other than Union business that comies before local meetings in the country. No doubt 3 ou are getting sorter I lashed out oi so much cotton talk and need a change. Better get up a i hog and hominy talk at your next I local meeting. We had one in the < Pendleton Farmers hall last Satur- r day and some of the boys got right < hungry before we got balf through c with the sausage and liver pudding i subject. Mr. B. Harris stated that t he had grown pork at less than three *andl a half cents per pould, and 13ro. a .Richardson vouched for the fact that be knew of it farmer tiat had raised 3 a large family off oh t hie prodt(ucts of a hlog farm where the e uniimoni cit- f roln, grown in anlitong thet corn, wvere the chiefl or prinoipal hog food in . iowinlg hogs. As. ninv know these commoflin citrons may be housed and fed through the winter with better results than the common pumpkin and( are many times more abundant and a sureO crop,. It was t he general consensus of oli in among the farmers at this I og and hoiny mieeting thatt it costs I too nmuch t) uindeirtako toC grow hogsi 0on gratinl. Tturniips, siorghumn, po tatoes, (il'vers:., ba11rley, rye, caitaii- r louposa, met lonls, ve'geitlesc iand huer mudait i patuires were ni5d to I glow < the~ pigs and the( ii un of cow pea or1i iga [en:: and smatll grain fields andi veet poitto crops were all used to adhvatage unditer differenit circumni stances for fattening the hogai in the fall.

DIVE IISIFl.) F"A tMING. All this talk about dliversified farm- , ng is now gettinig ratther stale tr.lk I o most close observers. WVe note r that many otherwise clever farmers I .o a good deal of talk away from f alon~ the line of diversified p - t they do not write it I rms in a way that he e "ad it out on the A mena' farms as b ild in their pa. all atualk -nd 11O work to back it up is too cach like rot to go down a practical nan's throat without straining a lit lo. I believe it was B. Harris that nado the suggestion at our hog and loniny. meeting that it would pay he owner of the farm best to do tie log and hominy and other diversified arming stunts and sell these farm upplies to his fool all-coton-growing enters who will persist in working hemselves and families down to rags md tags every year tying to get rich frowing cotton while the other man ut in the shad) makes the pricc and akes the prc fits. MILL MAN SQUEALS. We have before our Farmers' Union Bureau a letter to our Burt au rom a cotton mill man that would tstonish many of our Farmers Union men. Beyond doubt many of ur southern cotton mills are in it nuch worse tied-up condition than ur cotton growers who spen I a lot )f their timue cussing these same mt-1 ton that are in ten times worse fix mnd tied-up subjects to their selling igents than cotton growers are borne town upon by New York Cotton Ex ;hange men. Cotton growers can >ull themselves out from nuder the marness of cotton bears by growing ,heir own foodstufls. But these nutheru mill men who own the mi .iority of their mill stocks are unider he comple'e control of their selling igents in P'hiladelphia, New York or >ther places, who not only dictate the prices that these mills s'alll p:ty for ho raw cotton, but they also namtnt he prices for the mills' products, th< luantity and quality of goods in ( n(d even nans the brands in many )t,ses that go on the bales of goods md at the sa -.e time these selit.g tgets are said to get a good rake-otl n the way of eoumuissions Lot: oing and coning.

By reason of their delicate structure the lungs are frequently the seat of a cold, especially if there is the slightest weakiess of these organs. The treat ment of catarrh of the lungs. is also more diflicult and disoouragiug than catarrh of any other organ of tho body.
