Texan Civilization,

The Texan estimate of the value of
human life is not high. Newspapers of
that State coolly relate things that
would rather startle people in this part
Of the country. The Canton Ne,cs dc.
scribes a quarrel between Mr.. Palmales
and Mr.. Reasoner Of Kemp, Kaufman
county. about hogs. Palmalee said
there was no use wasting any more
words, and drew his revolver. Mr..
Reasoner said, ''Wait minute" went
into the house after his rife,
and shot his enemy dead. Mr.
arc told that he twill probably surren-
der himself to the proper authorities
if an investigation is deemed necessa-
ry.' The Austin Bulletin gives an
account Of a disagreement between two
men named Stone and Eddings at Gi.
rard, over game of cards. Gas the
train stopped at the station" says the
bulletin, "eur informant saw Eddings
pass around house, raise a double
barreled shot gun and fire twice at
Stone, who was then running. Stone
turned and ran into cornficld, where
his liteless body was found yesterday
morning. We are informed that there
was considerable excitement at Girard
yesterday morning. There were ten or
twelve men on the streets Of tho village
armed with shot guns The Giddin8s
Tribune tells Of the brutal murder of a
girl by negro. Under the sub-heading
Of slater it adds: "The negro who
was captured few days since, sus
pec:ed Of committing the crime, con
tessed guilt, and was lynched by hang
ing, Sunday evening last, by large
and exasperated assemblage Of people,

dcrs. "As the train passed Benden,"
says the Galveston Nescs, "thc three
negroes who were arrested for the kill.
ing of young Langley had just been
hanged to tree by number of citi-
zens, who took them out of the iail.
They confessed having done the deed
after they were taken from the Jail.
While the train was stopped there two
of them were cut down and tho third
one left hanging"

Flax Cllltlare in Minnesota.

The culture of fax for the seed has
been introduced during the season.
The result has been satisfactory. The
fax'crop this year has been SO per cent.
more profitable than wheat. Flax seed
will undoubtedly supercede the wheat
crop, except for home consumption. 1t
is now ascertained, from two years
raising, that it pays much better than
wheat, the average per acre being near
ly the same, while the selling price is
more than double. The cost of raising
is tho same. Another advantage Of
raising fax is, that on ground sown
with it the previous year onc.third
more wheat can be raised. Fifteen
times the amount Of last years produc.
ton in Mcleod and Stcarns counties
will be marketed this year-65,OOO
against 4, 000-which, Mt 81 80 per bush
ell, will bring to the farmers $84500

Blue Grass.


A correspondent Of the Iowa Fine
Stock Gazette says that it is a fact
that many varieties of seed lose their
vitality by drying, and blue grass re-
tains its vitality but a short time in a
dry state. By cutting and sowing as
soon as cut it will generally prove sue.
cessful and furnish a good sod the
next year after sowing. 1t will be
found more successful where it is sown
on land that has been we'll tramped by
cattle and the vegetation mostly killed
out. Sowing on old pastures where the
cultivated grasses have been partially
killed out is very good plan for start
ing blue grass. Sowing on the ground
with no covering is tie most natural,
as well as the most successful plan
with all kinds Of grass seed.

Patent Artific iaI Cheese.

The Utica Herald remarks as follows upon
the manufacture of new kind of cheese,
for which patent was recently granted:
The Insertion of the prepared solid fat Of
the body 20 take the place of the fat taken
from the milk is not alone employed TO make
an imitation of butter. 1t is reported that,
as fat and buttermilk are employed to make
artificial butter, so fat and skim-milk are used
to make cheese. The aims involved are sim
liar in either case, although the methods OF
manipulation are, of course, varied. 1t is re-
ported that factory is in operation in Brook
lyn, where the olein and margarin expressed
from the intestine fat of cattle is intimately
mixed with skim-milk, and the rennet then
poured in, producing curd rich in oil, which
can be cured, and sold for cheese. Here we
have process for putting lack into skim
milk, an animal oil in the place of the cream
which has been removed. We have heard
that something of this kind has been prac-
tced nearer to Utica than Brooklyn. 1t is
an ingenious device for adulteration, aud
nothing more nor less. No matter il the oil
derived from the taliow be chemically pure,
still the mingling of it with milk to take the
place Of cream is adulteration, aud though it
may not be a change of composition which
produces an unhealthy material, it is a change
which occasions a loss of value. Thus the
schemes for artificial butter and cheese are
fraudulent at the outset, and even when we
suppose that none but the purest oils and fat
are used. If these compounds come into any
wide consumption there will be materials
used variously disguised which are wholly un-
fit for entrance into the system. Then will
the evils of an enterprise which now seems
only mildly Objectionable be recognized and
appreciated.

The Curculia.

DR.. Hull of Alton, Ill.,, a successful fruit
grower aud close observer, who states that
the total number of curculos caught by him
this gear, from 1880 trees, up to June 5th,
no less than $4,000, furnished the Alton
Horticultural Society the following account of
some interesting experiments with this insect
as reported in the Prairie Farmer:
'Early in the season commenced series
of experiments to determine il possible at
what particular period of the day curculios
were at rest. On three different daysI drop
ped number of curcuios in flour, and near
sundown of each day put them in the forks
OF the trees and watched them until they
crawled into some place Of concealment
which was usually in the crevices of the
rough bark, and into depressed parts made
by cutting off limbs Of trees. Out of 80 in
sects thus watched to places OF rest all con-
ceaed themselves as stated, except one, which
went to the ground and crawled under clod
OF earth. Out of 80 insects thus watched, all
but one were found early the following morn
ings just where they went to rest at night.
Again, made other tests with marked
insects by placing them on the trees in the
morning. This experiment was repeated on
three successive days, employing 80 insects
each day. Near sunset the trees were
thoroughly Jared over curculio catcher.
This experiment resulted in the capture Of
27 of the 80 insects on the trees on which
they were put, and al different times since in
other parts of the orchard 40 of these
marked insects have been Jared down, leav-
ing 16 yet at large.
''From these tests infer curculos, as a
rule, rest at night and fly freely by day. They
make clear what every practical bian when
jarring trees must have observed, viz: that
these insects tall near the center of the catch
er, because places of concealment are most
numerous near the trunks of the trees and
for this reason, also, small curculio catcher
is nearly as good as largo one, provided the
trees are Jared during the colder part of the
day"

Washed and Unwashcd.

Mr.. A. M. Garland in Western Rural says:
There Is great amount of controversy as to
the difference in profit between selling wool
washed and unwashed, Every farmer can
easily test this .for himself, and can also test
the difference in weight between washed and
unwashed wool, and also the relative weight
OF fleece per pound, of the animal, as well as
the weight OF fleece grown per day, per
pound OF animal. Thus many questions of
Importance to the shepherd may be determin-
ed. When the fleece is the prime object, those
families producing the largest amount OF
cleanly secured wool for given carcass are
the most valuable, but where the mutton is a
prime object, the case becomes different
Wool may be entirely freed from oily mat
ter by taking two pounds of salt, and one of
soda-ash to every five gallons of water; this
should be enough to wash one fleece
thoroughly. Weigh the fleece to be washed,
including the string, having all perfectly dry.
Unite and save the string. Immerse the
fleece in tub with the liauor, and press,
squeeze, and work it untilithorougbly secured.
Rinse IN clear water, and place on frames in
cool, airy1room until entirely dry, or if you
have convenience for erecting frame over
stove or heater, so much the better. Discard
the liquor and rinsing water, ,and proceed with
the fleeces to be tested.
Each fleece should be numbered, and a
record made corresponding to the number OF
the fleece, stating the sex, age, breed, weight
OF animal, and the number OF days growth of
fleece. When perfectly dry, it should be
again tied, weighed, and its record placed
against the statement in the book. The diff
ference between the unwashed fleece, less the
twne used in tying, will show the loss in
weight.
Divide the weight of the secured fleece by
the number of days it was growing, and YOU
have the amount produced by the animal in a
day; divide this fraction by the live weight,
and the remainder shows the amount pro-
duced by each pound weight of the animal
per day; multiply the fraction by 365 and you
will have the product per pound of animal
for year; now if you multiply by the live
weight OF the animal you will have the num-
ber of pounds of wool it will produce in q
year.
Thus you may continue with various
feeces OF as many breeds of families of
breed as you may possess. From the data
gathered, you may estimate the relative value
OF different breeds, and the several families
OF the breed, and thus improve your flock to
its utmost limit,

Improving Stock.

There has been much complaint that the
prices of short-horn stock are far above the
reach of ordinary farmers. This is very true
as regards what is known as fashionable stock.
Ten, twenty, or thirty thousand dollar ami
mails are not for farmers who have their
bread to win from their farms. But yet it is
but the golden setting which surrounds these
animals, the fashion of their families, their
pedigree, that makes them so attractive, just
as the golden setting might enhance the val
ue of any article, without adding cent OF
value to its own intrinsic worth. There are
thousands of short-horn bulls in the country
which, without doubt, would sire as good a
steer as might be got by ''duke." Not long
since bull of questionable blood was sold
for but $500, about the same time as S15,OOO
would have been given for the "Second Duke
of Hillhurst," and numerous excellent judges
have held the first to be the better bull. Now,
the lesson of all this is that farmers should
not be misled by the glitter and glory OF these
vaunted fashionable animals into the belief
that there is no excellence elsewhere. The
grand patriarch from which these dukes and
duchesses sprang was purchased for $40, and
there have been, possibly. as good young
bulls sold for less than 500 within the past
thirty days in Kentucky, as was the bull Hub
back in 1887. If farmers should be misled by
the present high prices OF fashionable stock,
it were better that the dukes had never been
born. Nothing is more needed than an i'm
provement in our beef stock. Recently stock
was brought all the way from Texas and sold

other than fashionable strains, complain that
there is no demand for bulls. This is unior-
tunate, and we app!ehend it is owing TO some
extent to mistaken idea that there is a clos
er connection between high prices and fairly
good stock than is warranted by the facts,
that the absence of this demand is to be at
tributed. We would sugges. to breeders the
advantage OF turning some of the unstable
bulls into feeding animals, and their exhibit
tion as beef cattle at the agricultural fairs
where farmers may see and appreciate them.
The exhibition of grade steers from short
horn stock might also add greatly to the repu-
tation OF the sires. The early maturity and
great weight of this stock is an advantage
that cannot be too highly considered by farm
ers who are raising cattle for market, but as
yet, unfortunately, the short-horns are not
sufficiently popular with those who make
this use OF their stock.-N. Y. Times.

Waterproofing Leather.
The american Artisan gives the following
recipes for waterproofing leather:

The american Artisan gives the following
recipes for waterproofing leather:
Melt together beef tallow four ounces, res
in one ounce, and beeswax one ounce, and
when nearly cooled solid add as much meats
foot oil as the above mixture measures. IL is
to be applied with soft rag both to the soles
and uppers. The leather should be warmed
meanwhile before fire, and the application
well rubbed in. 1t requires two applications
to make leather thoroughly waterproof
Another way: Dissolve three-quarters of
an ounce of paraffine in pint OF lard oil. The
best quality OF oil should be used. 1t will be
necessary to heat the oil in order to dissolve
the paraffine. This solution may be rubbed
on boots once month, and it is said to rem
der hem perfectly water-tght, at the same
time it does not interfere with the backing.
If the solution is found to make the leather
TOO stiff, the amount of paraffine in propor-
tion to the oil should be reduced.
