Here are soie good rules to paste up .in your books to be read out the fitst thing at th' yegi.ming of the business feature of your meetings:' st. Are we Union men - 2nd. Do we know that to be good Union, men we must submit to the "'Vill of the majority? 3d. Havb wecome together for the purpose of..comblining our strength for the good of the fraternity as a .yvhole, or have any of us assembled for self aggrandisement of pecuniary Interest of.individuals or cliques? 4th. Have we come together for the purpose of hunting up good things to talk of for our beiefit, or are we hunting for more trouble by talking ov.or the mean things that- others have (lone? 5th. When you want a thing done be sure to gdt very busy men' to do it for you; never think of appointing men to do important work for the Union that are not now, nor never were, worth a cuss for anything. . * 6th. If you are out looking for good you will be sure to find somethi.ng good, and if you are out looking for bad, things you will find more of this than you want very soon.. Local Farmers' Unions are some thing like good crops, they thrive best when planted on good soil in the coun try and -where well cultivated. One reason for this is that when lo cal Unions meet in the towns there is more or less business and other at tractions that draw members away from the meetings in town while there is usually no other than Union .busi ne$s that comes before local meetings in the country. No doubt you are getting sorter fashed out on so much cotton talk and need a change. Better get up a hog and hominy talk at youir next local meeting. We had -one in the Pendle ton Farmers' Hall last Saturday and some of the boys got rigllt hungry be fore we got half through with the sausage and liver pudditng subject. Mr. B. Harris stated that he had grown pork at less than three and a half cents per pound, and Bro. Rich ardson vouched for the fact -that he knew -of a farmer that had raised a large family off of the products- of a'hog farm wihere the common citron, grown in ~among the corn, were the chiief or principal hog food used iii' growing hog. As many know that these common eitrons may be housed and fed through the winter with bet ter results than the common pumpkin .and are many times more abundant and a sure rop. It was the general consensus of io'among the farmers at this 1g-adhominy meeting that it-'cost oo much to undertake to gr'ow hogs on grain. Turnips, sorghum, clovers, barley, rye, canteloupes, melons, veg etables and bermuda pastures were cow pea or saga bean and small grain fields and sweet potato crops were all used to advantage under different IA circumstances for fattening the hogs ' in the fall. Hogs will gather cow peas or soga ibeans very much cleaner and ' cheaper than little niggers will do it, -and besides your hogs are always ready for the job and will keep at it. That Diversified 'Earming Talk. - All this talk about diversified f-arm ing~ is now getting rathle'r stale' talk to most close observers. We note that many otherwise elever farmers do 'a good deal of talk awvay from home along the line of diversified farming. But they do niot write it out on their farms in a way that he.tliat runs by may read it. out on the ground of ehse men's farms as plainly as it can eb read in their papers and talk. This thintg of all talk no w6rk t.o back it ai-is too much like rot to go down a act ical man's throat without straining a little. I believe it was B. \Harris that made' the suggestion at our hog and hominy meeting that it '.ould pay the owner of the f'arm best .do the hiog and hominy and other e'ified farming stunts and sell ~e farm supplies to his fall all Iofi-gi'owig renters who will per in .working theinsolves and famil *wn to rags and tags every year deget rich gro,whig cotton other man out in ,the shade 'price and takes the profits. x ile ?gn Squ*als, befre ontFariners' UTn iialett,ar to oXr Bureau bRott mill man that wouild 4nay'.of 'our Tarmers' 'tin 'yoldouttmany of otir tL6iyd11agr iniM a ninah NV4i$$ 1sie 4 hlot of' t6it time ns1ing the'san e mill"'nen that are'Iidi'tei times worse fix ahtied ups!4bjeeN to "t1eir 'selling agenti eottoif growers are borne down uppt by 1iew York CottOn 'Exchange men Cottoi. growr can pull'themselvew outfrom 'uhder tie harnesa of cottor bears by gowing their own. foodstuffs But these Southern mill men who owi the minority of their mill stocks ar< updOr-the complete control of theil selling agents in Philadelphia, Xe-% Yorkor other places who not only"dic. tate the prices that 'these mills shall pay f6r the raw cotton, but they also name the prices for the mills pro ducts, the quantity and quality of goods made and even name the'brands in matiy cases that go on the bales of goods and at the same time these sell ing agents are said to get a good rake off in the way of commissions both going and coming.
