The method of salttag Animals so they can tlftvo the 9!>,lhH) matter at will by licking the solid lbmp seems to be the most de sirable in point of economy, of health for the stock, and it also insures their having the salt when needed, which a weekly or bi-weekly salting does not, besides few animals will lick off enough at a time to injure them. “Wu have found the ltetsof salt to be flftm aud to stay together until used up. This is iu its favor, as imparted salt is very apt to break up easily, especia-ly if itgets wet.” Farmers and stock raisers would do well to communicate with these gentle men.

The State Excharge of the Georgia Farmers’ Alliance is ready for business. President Felix Corput and Mr. J. O. Wynn, the state business agent, have temporary headquarters at 67 East Ala bama street. On the first of February they will occupy the commodious quar ters furnished the Exchange by the Con stitution, at the corner of Hunter and Forsyth streets. Every farmer wants to know how the Exchange works, and Colonel Corput makes it plain in the interview which fol lows: In answer to the question, “Are you prepared to do business?” Mr. Corput said: “Yes, we are prepared for business and are ready to furnish any kind of farm supplies, fertilizers, seeds, oats, agricult ural implements, wagons and machinery at the very lowest cash prices. The Ex change does business for cash, acting only as|brokers. Our goods are obtained from the cheapest possible source; the jobber and manufacturer are brought into competition, and we keep posted on all markets. Wherever the home market competes with prices we can obtain from a distance, that, of course, will ha-m the preference. “We are very much encouraged by til® readiness of manufacturers and dealers generally to give us fair prices, seme of them below anything heretofore furnish ed to the trade in any quantity. Yet we fißd it is the policy of some merchants to disaffect members of the order as far as possible, causing them to look with dis trust upon the management and purposes of the Exchange. This will be overcome, but it will take sometime. Then parties who are now fighting the Exchange will find they have been handling a boomer ang, which has recoiled upon them. “In the matter of farm supplies we is sue weekly trade bulletins to trustee stockholders of the Exchange. In agri cultural implements, fertilizers or wag ons we prefer to give quotations or> appli cation, as in such instances we can make a freight arrangement which is benefi cial, but does not apply alike to all points. This also prevents interference by would be agents, who know that if the Alli ancesjbuy direct from, the Exchange, they are losers in point of commissions and other perquisites. “Arrangements have been made with fertilizer manufacturers by which time prices can be obtained when an alliance note is given. They do not agree to handle individual farmel-s’ as^* would be a tedious and laboriomlfworil to scrutinize that as closely as might b* desired.” “How would this arrangement be made?’ “In Floyd county, for instance, the trustee stockholders have adopted the following plan, which, I think, will work well: They propose to ascertain at once the amount of fertilizers that will be needed by each individual member of the Alliance, whether for cash or on time. If on time, they propose to take from him a suitable note, properly seemed and approved by the local finance com mittee or b..ard of trustees, consisting of three members from that sub-Alliance. Having ascertained the amount of fertil izers required on time and secured proper rates which will amply secure them, they propose to bulk their order, giving the manufacturer or dealer a joint or Al lianoe note, signed by every member of that Alliance, this note to become due ten days subsequent to the time when the original or individual notes fall due. By this means the Alliance will be am ply secured and will take virtually no risk in its acceptance, and the manufac turer or dealer will receive a note abso lutely good.” “Do the strong men who will have to aarry the weak object to this arrange ment?” “In some instances they do, and, no doubt, they will continue to do so, but in most cases they recognize the fact that the good man has in the past been pay ing the dealers for loss on indiscriminate accounts made by irresponsible parties. In most cases they believe they can carry the weaker brothers without loss or risk, at the same time protecting themselves from the extra charges which have always been added to goods to cover the bad debts and losses iu trade. With a proper finance committee or board of trustees, as heretofore indicated, little if' any risk is run by members of the Alliance. They carry a poor but honest contingent, who will in a fe“ r years become the very best material and supporters of the Alliance. “ I find that this year members of the Alliance, irrespective of their financial strength, have contracted fewer debts, paid them more promptly, and are in bet ter condition to pitch their ciops for an other year than ever before This will naturally encourage the stronger mem bers to staud up and protect the weaker element. Selfishness should by all means be laid aside aud a broad policy adopted whnhwill look to the common good of the whole agricultural interest of the state. This wo hope will bo generally ac cepted.” “ What will you save the farmers l" “I believe by dealing direct through the Exchange from #2 to #5 per to a can be saved on fertilizers either for cash or on time. We find that from #5 to #lO can be saved on each wagon, while on agri cultural implements and farming ma chinery there will boa saving of from twenty-five to six per cent. It is safe to estimate that with proper management of the sub-Alliances, prompt attention to their wants and the execution of papers entirely acceptable to dealers, a general saving of twenty to twenty-five per cent, can be made on all purchases from the lowest price heretofore obtained. In leading articles like sugars, coffees, meats, brogan shoes and cotton goods the reduction will be bar ely perceptible, as these articles have always been made leaders to induce trade. In fertilizers the reduction .io prices will be but slightly perceptible on acid phosphate, kainits and cotton seed meal, but will be marked on all manipulated goods. We advise all the farmers to put in their orders for fertilizers at once, as the ad vance in acid phosphate within the last ninety days has been more than $2 a ton, with the likelihood of a further advanci in the near future.” “How will a farmer get goods throug the exchange?’, “Each sub-Alliance having ratified th plan of the Exchange as set forth in circular letter issued sometime ago, and having paid up its first and second install ments as called for, is competent to deal through the Exchange. These sub-Alli ances were required, on ratification of the plan, to elect a trustee stockholder or business agent, who should receive from the state business agent weekly trade bulletins, thoroughly posting him as to the prices of various commodities. Ihese pricey should through him bo com municated to his Alliance from whom* Ue would receive orders, which, being bulked, should be forwarded to the county trustee, stockholder or business agent, who in turn should hulk the or ders and forward them to the state bus iness agent, these orders in all cases to be accompanied by the cash, or such papers as may be agreed upon.” “About small articles?” “It will be the policy of Yxcliang* to handle goods as far -g practicable in unbroken packages, oulyj aml a Rreat saving can be made by placing orders in carload mis. The members of tlie Alli ance should bear in mind that tlie differ ence in prices and freight between small and carload orders frequently amounts to fifteen, twenty or even a higher per cent. While the Exchange will endeavor to fill all orders entrusted to it, I do hot be lieve members would save much by plac ing very small orders through the Ex change.” “Will co-operative stores be allowed to trade through the Exchange?” “Yes, if doing strictly an Alliance business. We mean by that, if dealiag with Alliancemen only. If dealing with the general public it was the ruliug of the meeting of county trustee stockholders in I Macon on the 19th of August that they should not be allowed the benefits of the Exchange, as tlKg> then idAca tfiomselves in the position of genera! merchants, traders.” “How will the farmers’ produce get to market through the Exchange?” “In very much the same manner as manufacturers and wholesale dealers place their goods with business houses and merchants at a distance. Fair and honest samples of the produce offered, whether cotton, sjrup, rice, sugar, or anything else, should bo forwarded to tbo state business agent, who would offer the goods for sale upon the basis of tbo samples received. It is, therefore, abso lutely necessary that the sample be a true representation, not of one package alone, but of the entire lot of stuff offered for sale. Where there is a difference in the packages, a separate sample should be drawn and forwarded from each. These samples should, iu all instances, follow the same channel that purchases do, and come up to the state business agent from the county trustee or busi ness agent. '“This will simplify the present manner of marketing produce, and eliminate, to a great extent, the many profits and com missions between the producer and the consumer. The Exchange, while it does not propose to antagonize the middle man, proposes to better the farmers’ con dition by simplifying and shortening the channels of trade. Iu this they expect the co-operation of all right-thinking people. For doing this work a small commission, gauged to cover the running expenses, will be charged. “Oa what capital do you operate, and how was it raised?” “The capital is raised by subscription to the stock. An application is now being made for a charter authorizing the beginning of business on a paid in capital of #50,000, with the privileges of increas ing it to one million dollars. The liabil ity goes no further than the stock sub scribed. The stock cannot be subscribed by any iudividuhl—only by Farmers’ Alliances, on the basis of one #IOO share for 35 members, two shares for 35 to 65, three shares for 65 to 95, and four shares for every 95 members. It is payable in yeaily installments, commencing with the year 1888. Alliances subscribing now are liable for two assessments—for 1888 aud 1889. The third assessment will be due any time after the first of February, 1890, and will perhaps be called for about that time. We have now paid in #60,000 cash, which represents about 15,000 shares, or about #150,000 of stock. In the course of two more years all this will be in the treasury with whatever acces sion it may have. New Alliances are daily ratifying the plan and paying up their assessments. There are something over 2,100 sub-Alliances in Georgia, and something like half of them have ratified the plan of tbo Exchange and taken stock.” Mrs. Cleveland is having her portrait painted by a Washington artißt. It is said that the picture will be presented to the Corcoran Art Gallery.
