Fall Text of the Initiation Ceremonies lit the Introduction of General Gordon into the Order. The Alliens Banner is responsible for the following exposition of the valuable secrets councctcd with the Alliance. In an Interview with a prominent Allianceman in this county, he admitted to tlie Press and Banner the correctness of the report, except that the full number of boards were not used on the distinguished candidate for Alliance honors. General Gordon Is now a full Hedged. Allianceman, and will here after be made to toe the mark, and address Livingston, Jlaeune and Harry Brown us 'brother.' Trie Initiation of this dist inguished gentleman went through without a Jostle, and was witnessed by a large and enthusiastic audience of Alllaucemeti. At the risk of being shot for exposing the secrets of our order, I will give the Banner a lull report of the impressive ceremony that snatched General Gordon from the clutches of the politicians and made him an liumbio (lisi-lnlo of the IJiOW. The candidate was escortcd into (lie ante room of the Alllancemen liy u bodyguard of farmers. lie manliest some nervousness when his conductors demanded that ho partially disrobe and submit to the or deal of beiug curried olf with a corn oob and rubbed down with a bundle of iodder; the reason lor this phantom agricultural bath bclim that it was necessary to cleanse his person Irom the contaminating effects of too close a contact with Atlanta politicians, JeH'ertionian Democrats, Independents and other uuclcan elements, and that he inicht t iller the realms of agriculture bliss. He was then arrayed 111 a pair of coperas pants, upheld by one suspend - ' I.I... i. t'?l, ailtl :i II It-Jvlll ? >11111, nuui Hill, uuu shoes. Tim A Ilia nets (liis ^ulilo explained) was no respeetor of poisons and every member must be on an equal footing. Tliree raps were given on the lodge room door, and sepulchral voice IVoiu wilhiu demanded : "Who comes there?" "A poor penitent who is groveling in darkness, mid asks tnat the iignt of the Alliance be turned upon him," was the reply. "Is the candidate a tiller of the soil?" was the next, query from within. "lie says he has always been the* best friend the farmers ol Ocorgia ever had," was the evasive response. i "See if there are any corns in hands or l cockle burrs in his liair" was the command. "The v ekei of light says lie is only a farmj er by proxy, and the cui us are in the hands of I the men who work his land," was the re| spouse. *l?oes the candidate ask admittance into ' oni'oiib-r In lus own v iliiion, and I- he pre 11>;ti<-< 1 to j'.*4ss through thu ordeal ol luithi1 I toll "!iiloos siii-1 lit; is," was the reply lVoni I withmil.

A lew minutes ago you came to use reeking with the odor of the politician, and arrayed iu tins paraphernalia of a great man. You were stripped of your line apparel, which means that you must also leave behind youi In your future communications with farmars your worldly dignity, or the Alliance wll strip you of your honors as easily as It did of your tailor-made garments. All men (except tbe nigger) are free and equal. "The odious bandaga that obscured your vision Is a necessary attachment to tbe farm ; and while It teaches an AlllAnceman that be must not expect-bis pathway through life to be sprinkled with the ottar of roses, will be a special reminder to you of tbe offensive manner that you spoke of our leaders and friends during your recent campaign. The conductor will now convey the candidate being tbe high and mighty bister for further instructions, while tbe bretbren will please sing. "On Jordon's stormy banks I stand." The H. and M. bister was squatting between the handles of a plow stock. Without further ado the candidate had an iron hook fastened In the sent of hts pants, to which a rope was attached and thrown over a beam above. With asieadly pull by two sinewy Alliancemen, the distinguished gentleman was soon dangllDtr In the air, with hands and feet vainly clutching at the floor. ' Now hold the candidate in that position, where he can better appreciate the beautiful lessonR inculcated by the Alliance," remarked the G. and M. H. "It is needless for the partially initiated brother no longer clutch at the floor. He bns already had some exper1 At wm o t raulnrn fner onH.fho iricoat. i.h Incr hp n do is to put into practice that virtue and be resigned to the position we have placed blm In, and not postpone this matter until he gets to Washington agMn." "That book." The High Hlater explained, "illustrates the firm hold the Farmers' Alliance bason m:uikind. Your struggles in the air shows the folly of a candidate trying to gain his equilibrium while In the mighty grasp of our order. It also illustrates our political power to elevate or lower a man at will. YO Jr futile clutches in the air Is to show the folly of a candidate trying to reach for office through politicians. The candidate can now be released and carried before the Supreme Spanker for furl her enlightenment; and while he Is making the circuit of the room the brothers will sing, "On Oreenland's Icy Mountains,'as I notice that the candidate Is beginning to shiver In the cold air of the room." The Supreme Spanker sat upon a bale of hay. He ordered the bandage removed from the candidate's eyes, remarking that he had perhaps progressed far enough to stand the ileht of the Alliance; and, besides, he was to go through anotherorden! that required all of a man's faculties to endure. The seeker after light was then led up to a barrel, and in a twinkling stretched over it.

Forty times that, planlt rose in the air and came down with a mighty thump, before the writhing victim was released and carried before the Supreme SpanKer again, to have the lesson he had Just received explained. "You have passed through one of the most beautiful and edifying chapters in the Alliance mode of initiation. You have publicly iissertt d that we had only one'plank in our platform, and that n rotten one. I feel assured that yon are now prepared to correct this statement, and assert that our sub treas ury planit is one 01 me soundest, uiai you have ever felt. We have several other planks, aH we can prove to you entire satisfaction, If so desired. Oh ! you say you are satisfied ! Well, be careful in the future how you speak slurrlngly of something you know nothing about. Now carry the candidate, Brother conductor, for other useful lessons, and while he is on the move let the members sing: "This if the way I long have sought." The Great Drencher had on a table beforp hint three black leathers and a goblet ha f filled with what appeared to be old Bour born. "After his long fatiguing pilgrimage our brother is doubtless In need of rest and refreshments. Place a chair that he may be se.it.eif." This was done, but by some slight-of-hand the candidate made a miss, and landed on the floor. "My unfortunate brother, you have now learned the uncertainly of political campaigns. Just as a man thinks he has found a nice,comfortable seat, the Alliance slips It from beneath him, and painful indeed Is his disappointment.

Tbe Boad to Prosperity Blazed ont and Made an Plain an the Highway to Market?Don't Forget the Inatracllons, if Yon nre Malting Headway in the Boad to Maccess. Southern Cultivator. \ The lorehanded, active and progressive farmer has by this time matured his plans for the year and they are already In course of execution. A farmer without a well defined plan for the year's work is often likened to an army commander who simply marches on the enemy, attacks whenever he finds him, defends whenever attacked, and retreats when he cannot successfully resist. Such a campaign generally ends in disaster and ruin. It is not too late yet to formulate a scheme or plan. To pursue the parallel further, the farmer is now in winter quarters; but, like the successful General, he should do someof his best work In the line of thinking, and planning?brain work?while the days are yet short and the nights long, and while vegetation is asleep. He should clean out his roads and ditches, repair his (de) fences, make bright his nrms and look well to the commissary department. There is little to do ss yet except in the way of preparation. Ttie plow worK snouia now be carried lorward without unnecessary cessation. All foul, grassy lards, sedge fields to be reclaimed, etc., should be turned'over at once If cot done in January. Do not hesl-' tate to burn off the grass sfaw or other litter that would prevent good plowing, or that may improve with successful cultivation. Wblle It might have been all right to turn under such maiters a month^or two ago, or, better still, in the early tail, It is now too late, as the soil will be too much fowled by tnelr presence In it to permit of good cultivation and the best results in the cny. If we were constrained by circumstances to follow corn with corn, we would certainly prefer to brun np the corn stalks, or haul them {away to fill some gulley or to cover some unseemly and unprotitably clay gall. Tuechief value that such debris gives to h soil when turned under is due to the phosphoric acid, potash and lime that it contains, and those will remain In the form of aRhes when the stalk* are burned; while the thousands of destructive Insects that have made their winter quarters in the corn stalks and weeds will have been effectually destroyed. BETTER IMPROVEMENTS. In traveling over the country, we have noticed with surprise that a large majority of tbc farmers still adhere to the ordinary scooter plow stocks, whlle;bull tongues, square point scooters, shovels and turn shov els (or "twisters") make up the list of i .ttachments, to do all the work of plowing the land up to and including the work of cultivation. While the various patterns of wrought Iron foot plow stock, we doubt if, on the whole, they are much to be preferred to a well made. Iron bound, well adjusted stock of the old pattern. None of them are suited for turning purposes unless provided with properly shaped Irons to give the correct curve to the mould board, ana a landsiae to support und guide the share. All turning plow work can be better done with a regular turn plowmade for this use?whether one or two horse. The old cxcuse of too "costly can hardly be urged now, lor these Improve turn plows cost less to buy and keep in repair than the others, if the latter be kept in condition to do the sume quality of work. In the matter of Implements for cultivating the crop there is a wide field for progress and Improvement. The practice of running two or three furrows in a two and a half to three feet row, ought to be abandoned as too laborious and slow. We write of this matter now because the work pf laying off rows for the main crops will soon commence. Iu some sections of the South the most successful farmers have adopted five, and in some cases, six feet as the uniform width of rows, both for corn and cotton, using improved, adjustable cultivators in the work of cultivation requiring only two iurrows, or one round trip to each row at one plowing; while we do not reccominend that cotton rows be at once widened from three to five or even four feet, we think with thorough preparations ana liberal manuring It will be round much more economical both in seed and labor to approximate gradually the wider distances. But such Implements cannot be used to advantage in badly prepared, rough, stumpy land. Granted. Then prepare,the land for them by removing stumps and large stones, good breaking and harrowing. A good harrow Is one of he most satisfactory and useful implements of a well ordered larm, and will more than repay its cost every season; it will save its cost in the saving of labor and increase of crop in going over one hundred acres of land one time. COMPOSTS?FERTILIZERS. It Is high time that the compost heap should receive attention. Good stable or lot manure, if thrown into a compost heap of several feet thickness will undergo fermentation and decomposition sufficiently in the course of four weeks to be in good condition for applying to the land; but It will be better If the time be extended to six weeks, or more. Light, short and untrampedstableslittermay Indeed be hauled out ana scattered broadcast or in furrows as fast without heaping. But If it has been trodden under foot in the stalls lor mouths It is impossible to get it into mellow, distributable condition without heaping It and permitting it to ferment, except at a great cost of labor. While heaping them it is well to mix with it the fertilizing chemicals. In the February Cultivator, lSflO, we gave several formulas for mixing stable manure, acid phosphate, kalnlt, muriate of potash, cotton seed and cotton seed meal. We sec no reason for changing them, or amending what was then written in that connection. We therefore re-produce th9 formulas, and a part of the contcxt referring to them. m 1'nnuT. KKliTII.r.IZElLS. "Compost heaps should have been made last month, but if neglected or postponed, the work may yet be done In good time.

The larger the proportion of stable manure, etc., the greater the dilution, or weaker the resulting mixture, and a correspondingly lurger quantity should be applied per acre." We may add that our own experience the past year has tended to confirm us in the opinion that nitrogen is an Indispensable Ingredient in a fertilizer for the old and worn soils of the cotton States, and tbat cotton Is more exacting in its demands for applied nitrogen than corn. Of course this element la required and is largely consumed by all cultivated plants; bnt some crops can more readily and abundantly supply their requirements of nitrogen by draughts upon the air than others. We have found that corn may be easily overdosed with nitrogen. In other words while the corn plant requires a large quantity of nitrogen, at the same time it can procure a large percentage ol this amount from the air. Cotton Is also rich in nitrogen, , and must have it from some source, but as a crop it is probably more dependent on an artificial supply in the form of fertilizers than corn. Of one thing we may rest assured: All poor worn lands require what is called a x complete fertilizer, or one containing phosphoric acid, nitrogen and potash, if planted In corn, cotton, grass, or small grain. If ci> verorpeasbe the crop, nitrogen may be either entirely left out or used in very small quantity according to the condition of the soil. TU- ..n/s /> r nhnnnVnia olrtna 1UC UBOt bUCIClUlC, Ul UUIU Jjuuopuatt BIWUU or containing only potash, Is not to be recommended except in soils that 'contain more or less of vegetable matter rich In nitrogen, as when clover or peas have occupied It the previous year. Fresh lands, especially when the black or brown surface mould is unusually abundant, and bottom lands generally do just as well without nitrogen and often give better results in cotton when fertilized with simple acid phosphate because nitrogenous manures encourages a too luxuriant growth of weed and late maturity. TIIE NATURAL METHOD OF ENRICHING SOIL. But nitrogen is the most costly ingredient t.hat pnters into the composition of a fprtllirer if It be bought in either of the several forms In which it is sold in the market. Fortunately for the farmer, however, nitrogen is really more abundant and near at hand than either phosphoric acid or potash. Three-fourths by weight, of the atmosphere that surrounds the globe und covers every acre of soil, both rich and poor, is nitrogen. But in this form It cannot be bought with money, handled with a shovel, or distributed In a furrow. It is Invisible and intangible, but free to adopt the proper method to obtain It. Certain plants, some one or more of which will grow in every soil, can appropriate this nitrogen of air, and deposit it In the soil for the use of other plants less capable of getting it from this source. Peas, clover, vetches, and many other plants are of the class of nitrogen gatherers, and afford the readies and most natural means of restoring and building up our soils. We may grow such plants, and turn them under with the plow, or let them decay on the soil, or we may feed them, either green or dry, to animals and apply the manure of the latter to the soli. In either case, we are drawing on the atmosphere for nitrogen as welt as upon the soil the mineral elements. In the first case, we return them dlrestly to the soil without requiring them to serve any other use. In the secoud case, we use the materials thusi gathered by these plants from the soil, first to build up the bones and muscles and tisanes of the animals which con- , sume them, and then by the means of the manure, to enrich the soil. This is the theory of green manuring and green soiling in a nut shell. It is the prime factor In the econominal imDrovemeiit of the soil: all Others are not supplemental and artificial. It behooves tbe farmer then to Inaugurate such system as a basis that all extensive and permanent soil Improvement is made. It Is tbe natural method. THE INTENSIVE SYSTEM. Much has been written and spoken about high farming, and tbe ' Intensive system," and some farmers seem yet to have confused Ideas about what the system Is. Everybody knows that the most successful merchant, other things being equal, Is the one who buys his goods at the lowest prices and sells to good paying customers at the prevailing market prices, and who gets the most work in quantity from those In bis employ. The same principle is the foundation of the so-called intensive system. There is no mystery about it. It 16 to make the most of every expenditure of money and labor; to m^ke every acre produce,tbe largest possible crop. Not simply a large percentage on a small investment of labor and skill, but the largest possible percentaje of profit on tbe liberal expenditure of effort. A broom sedge pasture may return a large percentage on the investment of labor which may consist simply in occasionally putting a few rails on the fence, but tbe investment Is too small to amount to 1 anything. Diversity of crops Is also Implied; It is not wise to carry all the eggs In one basket, and on tbe other hand it is not well to have "toomany ironsinithe Are." It is notadvlsable to attempt to produce everything on tbe farm that may be required for comfort, or desired as a luxury. A farmer should not, breed all the domestic animals that maybe profitably bred In his climate or section, nor should he attempt to produce a supply of flour, rice, oats,corn, sugar cane, butter, beef, pork, cheese, tobacco, vegetables and fruits of every kind, wines, liquors, Vinegar, soap, leather, etc. Any oneornioroof these may 1 be profltabJy produced In most sections and almost every farm, but not all of them on one farm, or by oue farmer. The true policy is to produce those articles which are required in largest quantity and which can be most profitably produced at home, iiud sell or exchange the surplus above a home demand for others net convenient to produce at home. Duty ought never to wait on feeling ; but feeling oiight always to wait on duty. A uian ought never to pivot his duty on his feelings: but every man ought to conform his feelings to the demands of duty. Kind speech is a duty, whether a man feels kindly or I not. Jiut kindly feelings are always a duty, and lie who lacks tlicm ought to set himself at acquiring them. Not feeling, but duty, must lead a man's course ; but a man's right feeling is included in bis every-day duty. "Never allow yourself to act from bad motives, even if it is to do an act of charity. Exam.no the motive : if it is not pure, refrain from acting until you can cast from your spirit every vestige of base taint. It is very easy to unconsciously deceive yourself in the matter of charity and little kindness unless you submit yourself to the severest examination. Inspect your motives. Above all things, strive after a heart that is at once pure, tender, sympathetic, and loving, a mind ! brave, just, and generous." j It should be remembered that (Jod does not require any more than we can actually do tbrouirh irrare.
