II Marsh harvester, II machine that
carries its binder, but have watched
its performance in the fields of my
neighbors, and am forced to n very fa-
vorable opinion of its merits as a har-
vester. / think two men on the Marsh
harvester will bind as much rs four or
five on the ground, picking up the
grain as best they can, and will do
their work much better The Marsh
machine gives the grain to the binders
in Il straight, even condition, and the
sheaves will stack to much better adj
vantage, and stand better, and saw
better when shocked. The binder on
the Marsh harvester stands erect with
the grain laid nicely before him, and
is in position to handle himselfto the
best advantage. The Marsh machine
saws the grain better than any ma
chine know of except the "Header."
All the machines that throw the cut
grain on the ground leave it, more or
less, in struggled, tangled condition,
and with the best care and much loss
of time on the part of the binders, there
is still much waste. My conclusion is,
that when / buy more machinery l
will buy machine adapted to par
ticular thing. When want reaper
will buy a reaper; when l want a

TEXAS WHEAT.

There are certain facts in regard to
Texas wheat-in fact, all southern
whcat-not gcncrally known, and to
which we wish to call attention. The
first of these is, that all southern
grown wheat, being of drier nature
than the northe.n wheat, will, when
converted into iiour, keep sweeta much
much longer ,i.!r than the flour made
of northern wheat. One of the great
drawbacks to the export of flour to
southern ATTITUDES particularly, has
been its liability to sour and spoil.
This has necessitated the export in the
more bulky form of wheat, but OF late
IT, has been demonstrated that flour
made from Texas wheat will remain
sweet for many months i'll any latl-
tude.
The wheat growing region of Texas
is very extensive, embracing the coun-
ties of Bowie, Red River, Lamar, Titus,
Hopkins, Hunt, Fannin, Grayson,
Collins, Cooke, Denton, Dallas, Tar
rant, Ellis, Navarro, Kaufman, John
son, Parker, Wise, Jack and Montague,
while the counties bordering on them
all produce wheat as good in quality,
but with loss of yield to the acre.
This section also produces corn, sweet
and Irish potatoes and cotton, with all
kinds of grain and grasses.
The Weld of wheat in the counties
named is more than twenty-five bush
els to the acre, and that with rather
sioyeuly cultivation. Good careful
cultivation will increase this, and the
writer of this has seen IL measured
bnshcl of wheat weigh scveniy-two
pounds Sherman, in Grayson coun-
ty. might be call the center of the
wheat region, and greater facilities are
demanded there for its manufacture.
The other fact in regard to Texas
wheat. of which we would speak, IS
the time when it is ready for market.
While wheat grown in the northwest
is harvested in September, that grown
I'm Texas is ripe and ready for the har-
vest i'm Nav and June. This is very
great advantage, as is gives the texas
wheat grower the benefit of the mar
ket for new wheat weeks before MS
more northern competitor.
TO sum up, the Texas wheat raiser
GETS more wheat to the acre, heavier
Wheat. can get it to the market earlier,
n makes better flour, and Will Keep
LONGER than that from any other Sec
tion. These are fact.
We COPY the above from the Menu
phis (Tenn.) Texan, paper published
Inv C. HI. Cole & Co., Texas Land Agen-
CIV and Emigration Bureau, $50 Main
street, Memphis, Tenhessee. While
in the min the information 1t con-
toins il correct, there is one point
made which we wish to correct. All
.hot ;s stated as to Texas wheat keep
inc sweet longer than any other and
The large yield, are facts, and we have
o,,rself seen a measured bushel OF
,vl,eat raised in this county that
weighed little over seventy pounds.

TEXAS RADICALS MEMORIALIZING
CONGRESS-.

A special to the Galveston News,
dated Washington, March 9th, says:
Morton presented in the senate to-
day memorial three columns long,
setting forth the recent political his
tory of Texas, as viewed from a Rad
zeal standpoint, and asking congress to
interfere in overturning the present
state government. The memOrialists
say: .# ..
ave thought we had the right to ask
for assistance against this species of
violence. We have done so, but per-
haps we did not ask in the right way.
"There may have been some want of
formality in our appeal, or we may
have been forestalled by interested
slanderers.n
The memorial was signed by Boulds
Baker, Sam w. Johnson, Stanley
Welch, A. j. Hamilton, and about
fifty others, and was referred to the
committee on privileges and elections.
Flanagan has another of these petit
tions, signed by citizens of San Anto-
MO, and Others are on their way here.

To all whom IL May Concern.

Strict conformity to law, and the Or
ders of the court, OH the part of the
sheriff in the discharge of his official
duties, gives offense i'm certain quar-
tiers, and a spirit of resentment, ac-
companied with threats, having been
aroused, we are requested by Major
Barkley to say, to all whom it may
concern, that it is his intention and
purpose to carry out without fear or
favor, the mandates of the court and
the law, however rigorous they may
be-without harshness if he can, but
with scrupulous precision. And to
this end, we have warrant for the as
sertion, his entire list of deputies
will stand by their chief, if needs be,
to the bitter end.
