We notice that some of our western farmers are .moving to establish a system of "Clear ing Houses" ever the country. These Clearing Houses, it appears, are some thing ai ter tho order of a bureau of information-that ie, the counties or /districts are orgar.iafed and elect a manager ot thia Central Clear ins House, and all parties iiaving cotton or other products for sale notify this central manager how much cotton or other products they have for sala and .the price for samo. Tais manager of the Cleaving House keeps in touch with the bnyers at all times, and is prepared in a moment's time to aeil largo lots of cotton without any big to do about it. This manager could also buy in /argo lota for local Unions for. cash? This manager of tbis Clearing House need not be au ex pensive man, or carry a Iftvgo capital, or maintain an exposs!T office. He couldi with the use of telephone and telegraph, live at bis home, and with out much additional expense bo in touch with the world's markets and at the same time be in t?l?phone connec tion with a representative of each subordinate Union in his district, and could keep all Union members inform ed about the market every hour in the day. Now, we all know that if we employ a county or district business ?gent, and require him to live in some town, that this would mean consid?rable ex penso of o {lice and bouse rent; aud, be sides, no man who already has a busi ness of his own to look after on the farm is going to quit that business and goto town for u songa It would not cost ?ho Union much to give this Clearing House plan a trial on some, safe plau. We were witness to a very pleasing sight in July last, where 41S balea of cotton was sold by Union men in one day in & small town, and this cotton was delivered at three different ' sta tions on the railroad, and ?.consider able portion ot this cotton was la ware houses at the city where there is a number of mills, but wan paltad?ut of theaa warehouses .and shipped off to a better market for export, it is. now high time that the Farmer's Union were using the wires more, and put these plans of their's into sot!ve use ' for their own prout. You can hem m a few weak, isolated farmers and pail them for most anything, but when yon strike, a large body Of well or ganised, sturdy farmers you are up against a Bolid thing. Why not the Farmers'Unioni st up there to the Huntington Ino .?ad stop a few days with those gu?*u>'40nV and have a littfo talk wit^ r^om about raising cotton in Africa? If English npinuura get that African cotton grow [mr ?lan well under way wo wfll not ne?dvuy more goano in thia county. It costa only $15 per day to atop at tho Iunr and if the guano men can stand that price you know that cotton growers can hold up to it. You seo cotton growers have all tho advantages aver the guano men, Cotton growers can abip their cotton all over the world, while thc freight on guano will eat it rip before you could get half way to Africa; and beeide? inte they don't need guano in Africa. ,Itisa?id moat of the land there is made out of Enano. And then cotton growers can eep their cotton for years without injury while guano will go back to nature, and get to be bard dirt and rook again ia lesa than 12 months. These guano men are obliged to take just whatever farmers seo Ht to pay F?rthen* stud* as it' is BO loaded down with dirt that they can't ship the Huff. A ton of standard acid phos phate contains lesa than 200 lbs. ot available material in 2000 lbs. of stuft; ind sella lor leas than $10. whilo the cotton grower has $50 worth of unpor table material wrapped up in a. package weighing only 500 lbs. These ituano men are in a poor bnsinesa; let's go np and condole with thom a few lay?. ? . . ? : . \ Raising Guano at Home, Someday, when you are at leisure, jo over your pea patches; dig ur? stalk* ul about over difierent characters cf and. After shaking off all tho loose lirt, examine the roots .for the little litrogen balls.

AH that kind )f landa that do nothavo abundance of these little " nodules on toots of peas teed inoculating with nitro-culture or with soil from other fields where plenty of the balle aro found on tho pea roots. If you bave a good* solid stand of pea vines all over the land, mid the roots chow abundance of -these little nitrogen balls, it has been, calculated l>y the authorities cn this subject that (rou have,from 80 to 40 pounds of ni trogen to the acre cn such lands in the ;oots ' of tho crop after the top bas been removed; This ia equivalent to the amount of ammonia contained i-n 1000 pounds or more of good fertilizers ?cBting from $4 to $7 la money when pou buy these fertilisersi or, in other words, you have added to each aore of saeh land from $4 to $7 iu fertilizers besides making a fine crop of peas and aay.
