' 'J This society claims to be the oldest * active farmer's society in the United P States, having organized iu 1815. * This society has perhaps tbe most u interesting history of its works in the ? United States. A very interesting c volume, 112 pages, (the onlj copy J known to be in existence) is now in P possession of the president of the so- ' ciety, and was published iu 1820.

Gailard, who lives near Pendleton, on t cow pea vines they were well and yielded an abundance of milk, and 1 have never had a cow stuck in the mire, since I have been in the counthy." ? In these days cows were Belbom fed in the winter, consequently they got poor in the spring and not being able to pull ont many of them were stuck in the swampy mud placesled there by the green sour grass that we some-times see in these places today. Are you planning to grow cotton just J for the fun of it or are you in it for J profits? If you are after profits on your crops you had better get alone right now and join the Farmer'? Uuion and bt makingarrangemeuts for profits while j your crop is growing. * If you are in shape to pay cash foi your fertilizer you had better get together your local union, appoint a good business member to go over to see W. C. Moore in Greenville, the president of our cotton union. H* will put you on to something that will save euough money to you on each ton to pay your way in the Farmer'tUnion for several years. If you are trying to climb up thi tree of prosperity by growiog cotton I you had best never begin it by resting the ground end of your ladder on home grown food crops and the upper end _ of your ladder, the selling end, on tin firm support of the Farmers' Cotton Union. There is more in selling rigbi than in growing the crop thete days This is rich and racy. From John Mile's Journal of millinery goods, New York: "The wave of prosperity floats ovei thin frlnrinns innd nt a hicrh rvripc c ? ? "-o" *" ?r Every body is making money, people with brains are saving some, people without brains are blowing it in Some few years ago the Wall streei millionaire thieves made the price for cotton five and six cents per pound, they gave the honest Tan Face South- 1 ernere about enough money to buy pork and corn breud, but the Southerners got together, they talked it over; the general store merchant told the y plantation fellow that he would help nim along to get ten cents per pound for cotton. The banker in each little f town bound himself to the others J with his word of honor, the result wasten cents per pound for cotton, they established million dollar cotton mills, and today they are making money out * of cotton, and their mills besides. ^ that's how they got the best of the a land rats, and the water-rats and the 1 water thieves and the land thieves that hold up Wall street, the big trusts and the monopolists and the gobbler* oi tee money with hearts as hard as j the flags of hell, their lives aDd their fortunes are strewn with skulls and [i: suicides and mingled with human \ blood. # \ The southerners' motto is "cotton ten cents per pound or we don't sell." We all certainly must admire their stand, and now apart frrm the south, prosperity is all over the country. They haven't got enough of the lambs in Wall street just now to put in a drain pipe and let the water run out. Wall street today has more water underneath the stocks than No ah had to float the Ark, but we might have a tumble otherwise, and it is just as well to be a little careful. Some people buy like drunken sail' ois on the verge of prosperity." This man explains why Wall 6treei that has everything elae, has not bten able to make a hell of their own, viztoo much water, cau't raise the lire. t r.'

Finally our test for last year's exerience shows that we have paid, or jstaioed a loss on a general average f about $2 55 per acre for the privilie ef rotating our crops of corn and jtton in the same field, which privege gave a good crop of peas and ilies on half the land. We are well pleated with the result f our Aldrich crops last year and will laut a larger area after the Aldrich let hod this year.
