T(> i Mil. liniToit : As the year is drawing to
j a close, we find that we have made some
1<'"' j failures and some progress in our farming,
s- ; Inn where our farmers have used manure

the year to prepare his land, cultivate and

it. The cotton crop is about gathered ami has
|ie fallen far short of last year. There is very
little to gather or sell around Kcllmi.
I am sorry to say that there is vcVv little
wheat heing sowed in this vicinity, and many
farmers are selling their cotton seed, thereby
lie robbing their land, if they do not get the
n_ meal back, or some other substitute for ihcir

.Mis. !'.;?!tor : I appreciate your article in
ast we.k's Tiuks on sowing wheat." Your
idea at), .it the time is certainly correct. I also , L)
believe that the pea vine is the best ren >va- j "
tor of our impoverished lands. I wish to J"
give you my experience with n piece of old
field; Tlirc. ycurs ago 1 sowed live acres of! |j
thin old field in oats; the land was poor but '
has a good subsoil. I I roko up the land. I ^
sowed the oats, and harrowed tlieni in in Oc- ! Jj
tobcr. Next spring, after cutting a poor 1 il
croii of oats. I sowed the stubble in cow peas j h
V
an<l in (ho la 1 resowcd with oats, get t ill z a
fmo crop of oat-.. I cut the oats, ami the :l
second time (la?<t year) sowed peas, tin ning
them in last lall; and this year I planted
tin' lot in cotton, using 5 sacks of fertilizer
on the five acres. *
The fertilizer cost nie ?13, and I have j
already gathered this fall four, hales of co*- t
ton, averaging over Oik) lhs to the bale, and
there is SOU or I O(K) pounds seed cotton yet I
on the h>t. So.you see the rapidity with
which the land was reclaimed with oats and
peas. If I r gain sow the lot in oats and
peas and then next fall sow in wheat, I will ,
lie apt to have fine wheat, if the seasons are (
favorable. Scientific farming is all that is
ucces-ury in order for us to reap abundant
harvests. II. I

THE ALLIANCE
Not long since a great preacher, enumerating
the wonderful events that have recently (
taken place, said that the organization of the
Fanners Alliance was by no in cans of smal'
moment, and that its iutluence and power
was destined to be felt throughout the
world. And of a truth is his prediction com- J
ing to pass.
The capitalist, usurer and oppressor, who
derided the Alliance in its infancy, now
trembles at its rapid growth and tremendous
power: and to-day in every nook and corner
where the Alliance lias existed a year a
11,0I'KO*I UlUereiICO is SCCll alio It'll. lilt' I
industrious husbandman seems to have taken
a new lease of life. His homo is in a better
condition. ami his family more comfortable;
ami with a braver heart ami brighter hopes,
he looks to the future, ami wc ft ml him exhibiting
a greater determination to keep out
of debt. And 1 believe if we act the part of j
true men to ourselves, our families ami our
country, ere a halfcentury shall have passed,
our Southern land, with all its superior advantages
and resources will have become the
prosperous and happy on earth.
AGENTS, IMPOSTERS, CHEATS, ETC.
As our County is, at present, infested with
representatives of the above named classes, I
wish to give one word more of warning to
the honest farmers of my county, lie extremely
careful how you are inthieneeil by
these it inorant salesman. Some agents doubtless
do business on honest business principles.
bin the majority of them ar<? mi impo-?

Last week I saw traversing the county a
gang of Feather Renovators." They were
well equipped with line horses ami peculiarly
constructed wagons, and presented an imposing
appearance. They would dart up to
your house, and with the philanthropy of a
Franklin or Washington, they palavered
around, about the weather, crops, etc , then
show yon a lot of beautiful feathers renovated
bv themselves, and you almost suspect tliov
11:i I just plucked them I'roni an <>.--lricli; also
a hot tie of feathers, which they say are taken
from the same lied. that are covercil with
grease ami <iirt. ami alive with Worms, ami

They tell yen that your he-Is arc thttthtless
