AZ present too crazy matter FOR so sensible
a man a. he, or so busy man ns myself
TO waste much time on. Time was when
felt interested in that sort u thing, but
somehow since the "brcnk up have been
out OF conccit OF il, and don't see any in'
vling way Of getting up an interest in 1t
again.
A few Of the farmers and gardeners Of
Harris county inct together some days since
and formed county agricultural society
under the State law of 1860 trust 1t
NAV be successful, and lead early to State
association, which we very much need.
Meanwhile We want an agricultural paper,
and | may he pardoned IL | urge upon
somebody the importance Of such an enter
prise. Such a paper to be successful, mus
be established on good foundation. II
must have capital. IL must be published
by n man of some experience and good
deal of intelligence. II should be the me-
dum of interchange Of information. II
we'll conducted it would be n success, am
well satisfied. | wonder If Mr.. Ailleck, OF
,ntl a tp1 Ia
undertake something Of tho kind. lie
knows more about such matters than any
body else in the State.
"My corn is made says almost every
body meet from the country, "and have
a big crop" The next thing to find out is
what to do with it. Already is the price
reduced in Houston to Toe, or almost to n
point at which it can be exported to New
Orleans. Very many are taking up the
idea of fattening beevcs and putting up
neighborhood packeries. The packeries in
this State that were operated last winter
were said to be very successful. If cattle
foom the fr0st-bitten grass of the prairies
can in January he turned into saleable
mess beef, it would certainly seem as though
good fat cattle would be very profitable.
We sometimes bring ont from New York
Fulton market beef which has been fattened
on corn at 75c. = bushel. IF now we can
get equally good beef fattencd on corn at
20c. Il bushcl, it stands to reason that we
can supply Fulton market ourselves.
But there is another word to be said on
this subject of corn. When the enterpris-
ing European farmer lands at New York he
is met by agents of different sections, de
failing The advantages they offer to the
settler. If Texas had an agent there, as
we ought to have, he would tell them of the
advantages of our soil and climate and the
abundance of our crops. The Northwestern
agent would speak on the same topics, but
in addition would say truthfully that corn
is so abundant and cheap that they some.
times use it for fuel. Ninety men in a
hundred would turn at once % where corn
is cheap. Now, we can raise corn as Cheaply
and abundantly as they can in Illinois, and
we must do it if we desire to progress in
agricultural matters. We must be able
not only to compete with the Northwest in
:he sale of corn in New Orleans, but we
must compete with it in supplying the
markets of the world with corn in its more
condensed shapes, such as beef, bacon, etc,
etc. whenever we nave corn enough W
consider it no danger of starving ourselves
if we feed the cattle and hogs with it, we
shall be all right, and many times better
off than whole sections Of Texas have been
time and again within my knowledge
Speaking of flowers, to glance at the
moutons again, picked bouquet yesterday
having thirty-two dahlias, no two of which
were alike,-and it was not very good
day for dahlias either, for several of the
finest sets did not happen to have full
bloom on them. These splendid flowers, as
well as others from bulbs, such as the lilies,
the gladioli, etc, make the finest display of
any we have, not excepting roses.
The trial of Col. G. W. Baylor for killing
General John \. Wharton, in this city, in
April, 1865, came off before the district
court of Harris county this week, and re
suited in mistrial, the jury failing to
agree. Five were, it is said, for acquiual,
and seven for conviction, the seven being
also divided on the grade of punishment.
1t has been the superstition that Baylor
would be acquitted without difficulty. The
matter, however would seem TO leave the
final result in doubt Whatever that may
he, it has caused some little uneasiness in
the minds Of others who are under charges
for ,ha 20 k;n0 of life in ono wav or another
