A Farmers Experience.


The successsul life of Mr.. Jacob
Strawn, the prince of American farm
ers, is attributed to the close observ-
ance of the following maxims, origina-
ted By himself:
When you wake up. do not roll over
but roll out. 1t viii enable you to
ditch all your sloughs, break them, har-
row them, and SOW them with timothy
and red clover. One bushel of clover
to two bushels of timothy is enough.
Make your fencing high and strong
so that it will keep cattle and pigs out.
If you have brush make your lots
secure, and keep your hogs from the
cattle, for if the corn is kept clean
they will cat it better than if it is
not.
Be sure to get your hands to bed at
seven o'clock-they viii rise early by
force of circumstances. Pay a hand !;
if he is poor hand, all you promise
him; if he is a good hand pay him a
little more; it will encourage him to
do still better.
Always feed your hands as well as
you do yourself, for the laboring men
are the bone and sinew of the land,
and ought to, be well treated.
am satisfied that getting up early,
industry and regular habits are the
best medicine ever prescribed for
health.
When rainy, bad weather comes, so
that YOU can't work out of doors, cut,
split and haul your wood.
Make your racks, fix your fence or
a gate that is off its hinges, or weather.
board your barn where the wind has
blown the siding of, Or patch the roof
Of your barn or house.
S5udy your interest closely, and do
not spend any time in electing Presi-
dents, Senators and other smaller Off
GERS, or talking of hard times when
spending your time in whiting store
boxes, etc.
Take your time and make calcula-
tions, don't do thiag5 in hurry, but
do them at the right time, and keep
your mind as well as your body en-
ployel.

From the Houston Union, April q.
We have heretofore called attention to the visit Of
this distinguished gentleman 10 the Southwest. and
particularly to Texas 1t Is, We believe his first
visit OF the Kind since the conclusion Of the war.
General Sherman's talents and requirements as a
gentleman, his brilliant history as soldier his high
position rs the head OF the United states Army, aud
the objects he has view In visiting and inspecting
our military defences In Texas, al render his pre-
scncc among W. d matter OF Importance and congra
Luialion Ii Will be the desire oil ali our people TO
HIM; and, II possible, to hear him; and also, by
cordial greeting TO him, to snow that the bitter
ness OF the war mas passed away, and that the
old dag, which he peculiarly represents, Is as
dear rs ever To every trlie-hearted American cit-
zen, even though some OF them were for time un.
fortunate enough To be engaged In q fruitless war
agalnstit. We speak In no partisan spirit, but IN
behalf OF all feXas ana suggest to our democratic
contemporaries the ma nitestatiOn or similar spirit
We well recocct when General Sherman was APP
pointed by the State government Of Louisiana as
Principal OF the State Military Academy at Alex
anirla, in 1859, we believe. We remember also
that he continued there In the discharge or his
duties until after the broke and then left for
his former home unwilling to serve State at war
with the national governments. His subsequent
military history Is known TO all. Many OF our
Texas 'boys' fought him the Mississippi river, at
vicksburg, at Arkansas Post, In Mississippi, Ten
nessee, Georgia. South Carolina and North Carolina
All remember MS noble generosity In the terms OF
General Joe Jonnston's surrender. His "march to
the seal one Of the greatest movements
toward bringing the war to a close. Since then
General Sherman has been as generous and Conctl-
iatOry toward MS Old opponents as the duties OF his
position would allow. We are glad to notice that
many OF the leading ex-COnederate generals called
tics, such as Lohgstrcet, Bragg, Hood and JEFF
Thompson, and that their interviews were most cor.
dial. General sherman, in a short speech, spoke
most kindly OF them all; even OF General Beaure-
gard, who had not called. we hope General Sner-
man will be able to meet the leading men OF our
State at our approaching state FAIR
