The Burlington Hawkoye says a scheme has been devised for mak ing church socials pleasant. Each person is given a card on which a dozen names are written, and is re quired to talk five minutes with each one whose name is on the card. At the expiration of five minutes a bell is struck and a new partner is sought. By this plan wall llowers are eliminated, everybody receives attention, cliques are bruken up and ail go home happy. WINTER BREAKING OF LAND, Would you advise the breaking of land for corn, or cotton, or both, with a two-horse plow and subsoil ? Should such plowing be done this winter or just before planting next spring ? Which is best and cheap est fox decomposing compost, lime or concentrated lye or some other form of potash ? I have some rat her low broomsedge land, once a cypress swamp, but now in a rather dry condition. Do you think Bermuda grass and Johnson grass will do well on such land?—II. W. B. Answer.—T he turning over of land is not desirable unless there be vegetable matter or litter on the surface which would impede culti vation. Two-horse plows are to be preferred because they do the work effectively and cheaply, one band and two horses doing very nearly if uot quite ns much work in a day as two hands ami two horses using one-horse plows. Our own expe rience is that deep subsoiling, as a, rule, will not pay except under con— ditions of high culture, involving good uuderdraining, high manuring, etc. We allude to expensive, two horse subsoiling, following in the furrow of the turn plow. The experience of the best, practi cal planters is, that the later the breaking of land (in the South) the better. Early plowing, even fall plowing, used to be considered very important, but the idea was im ported from a colder climate where the frosts of winter both prevented plowing, and at the same time ox erted a most salutary effect on the fall-plowed fields. In the South we can plow at any time winter, Stubble or other foul lands should be plowed early in winter; clean lands being deferred until near planting time, We have no doubt Bermuda and Johnson grass would succeed on the lami described. Oats would proba bly be a good crop, also,—Southern Cultivator. ALLIANCE COLUMN. It is said that an Alliance store will be opened in Camilla soon. Every farm possesses possibilities for its own fertilization. Nature made it so. Deve'op these possi bilities and you need not worry about tne price or quality of guano. The Farmers’Alliance of Hancock requires its members to plant large provision and feed crops this year. Penalty for refusal will be expulsion. Hurrah for the Alliance!—Ishmael ite. The Mitchell county farmers are sowing a Targe acreage in "spring oats. The cotton acreage will he smaller and much less guano will be used. The corn crop will he in creased. Good roads and plenty of good bridges go a long ways towards con tributing to the weal’ll aud welfare a county. Bad reads kill your and smash up your bgggies wagons. The Aflbnaeme'n and of Polk county are working in har mony. At a recent meeting of Polk cmnty Alliance resolutions commend ing the liberality of merchant.-* of Polk county and ra» U.cor, t],e .... o lor; ‘" J ' sm l'" rt - Wo trust our farmers have al readymade up their minds to keep out of debt as much as possible, liv ing economicaliy. planting more provision crops, and raise more hogs.sneep, goats, and cattle, Not until Ibis is practised will they ever he indepentent. It is the opinion of some people that the Farmers’ Alliance will ac complish no good; but if the same determination to make the farm self sustaining exist* among the mom hers in other counties, as here, the order is certain to effect great good. —Sparta IshmaelUe. — - - - --—a * _ V.
