How Farming Can be Made TO Pay.

In order to popularize farming it must
be made to pay. Therefore, all methods
whether Of an associative character OF
net, must be based upon the ever-recur-
ring question, Twill it pay?" In order
to make farming pay as it should, there
must be a wise and sagacious adoption
of means used to accomplish the desired
result. The great question for every
farmer to solve is, now can increase the
average annual yield Of my crops!
Not long since one of the most intelli-
gent farmers Of the State said to us: Il
will surrender all my interest in the re-
duced price of machinery and sugar, for
tia. know.e ige which will 'able me to
increase the annual average yield of my
wheat crop one bushel to the acre."
Ifa judicious rotation of crops and a
proper system of culture wiil increase
the annual average yield of wheat from
twelve to twenty bushels to the acre,
then the farming community will be
making some substantial progress. True
there are other evils aside from the low
average yield ef crops. There is a
continual increase Of taxes and expendi-
tares, that would absorb even an increase
in the productive capacity Of our farms
1t will not do to neglect one branch OF
reform while pursuing the ether. Last
ing prosperity must accrue from improved
agriculture; and any association of
farmers that does not spend more time
in seeking how to improve agriculture,
by adopting better methods Of culture,
are wasting mach valuable time.
Such pertinent questions as the fol-
lowing ones, must be discussed until we
arrive at the truth: Shall we manure
for the corn crop, instead of the wheat
crop7 SHALL the corn crop receive the
coarse manure of the farm, which by a
seasons culture will become thoroughly
rotted and incorporated with the so1i,
and thus fit it for the wheat and other
crops that are to follow? Shall farmers
BY pursuing this plan, thus provide the
wheat plants, that are to succeed the
corn, with al abundant supply of we'll
prepared plant food, that can be readily
assimilated by the wheat plants, instead
Of compelling them to wait for the rot
ting of.the sod or coarse maanres?
Thequestion ofspeeial crops must be
considered. How can 1 grow several
crops that win. follow 10 succession, and
yet which viii not iiatssfsne with each
other, which will give constant employ
ment, and from which an income can be
delivered At different seasons ofthe year
Then, there is the question Of special

Sheep vs.. Farming.

There are many reasons why every
farmer would find it profitable to
keep at least small flock of fine-wooled
sheep on farm where grain is the prin-
cipal crop. By raising his own mutton
a large saving is made in the butchers
bill the sale of wool will bring ready
money just before harvest, when it is
most needed to conduct farming opera
tions with celebrity and economy. Nor
are these the greatest benefits to accrue
from Q system of mixed farming, in
which sheep raising has its appropriate
share.
Sheep are the best scavengers that can
be put on field after the grain is cut, to
clear the land o. weeds and their drop
pings are far better fertilizer than the
debris of stubble and litter they consume,
which otherwise would have to be plowed
under to decompose. In country like
California where the noxous heritage
tends to rapid usurpation of the soil,
the services of sheep are really most in.
valuable 10 keep the lands from being
overrun by it.
When sheep husbandry shall become
in the Pacific states a part of every
farmers operations, we max look for
much higher standard in the grades of
wool, as it will be in the power of
the small herdsman to cut out the infe-
rior animals, and to retain for the breed
ing purposes and the fleece, only such as
are of superior quality.
1t must not be inferred however, that
the large herdsmen are Indifferent to the
matter of breeding; they are constantly
improving their focks. In no other
wool growing country there are probably
more expense and trouble incurred in
the attempt to obtain animals of the best
points for breeders, both male and female
than in California; but those must nee
essarily be limited to such animals as
were kept for special breeding, as. where
flocks number tens of thousands, the
matter of pairing male and female, 90 as
best to secure an improved offspring. is
in q great measure impossible.-PacJ6c

YESTERDAY.

YESTERDAY.
HELEN A. NANvILLE.
How fair the earth was yesterday,
How green the meadows were!
The poet, Nature, had no pssd
OF an interpreter.
A golden haze enwrspt the hills
A bright and ambient glow,
Like veil of mist. dropped low and kissed
The valley just below.
The yiolets their blue bells swung
Upon the grassy lea,
And starry daisies raised their eyes
Toward heaven wonderingly.
The meadows in their sheen arrayed,
Looked fair rs any bride,
II did not seem one beauteous dream
Ofearth had been denied.
To-day the sky u ashen- hued,
The wind sObs on the heath,
Dire shadows lie upon the hills,
And on the vale beneath.
But, mirrored in the shining glass
OflOving memory,
The yester's sheen lies bright between
The somber mist and me.

lDnEtNspOTt iiiitbt rtDs o.I
WE have read with pleasure the let
ter of Colonel Thomas a. Scott TO the
New York Tribune, In reply to n very
unfair attack of u correspondent of
that paper upon the Texas and Pacific
railway bill The opposition to the
bill is inspired chiefly by Jay Gould,
the owner of the Union Pacific, andC.
p. Huntington, large stakeholder in
the Central Pacific. These men con-
troll immense means, and there Is no
doubt they have bought up the inflll-
ence of u number of newspapers to
fight the Texas and Pacific, which is
their great rival. The Texas and Pa
cific bill is without doubt the fairest
railroad bill ever brought before con-
gress, and is in the interest of an en-
terprise that promises to benefit por-
tion of the union which the policy of
the federal government has impOver-
ished and desolated.
The passage of the Texas and Pacific
bill would be nm act of conspicuous JUS
tice to the south, while it would be of
immense benefit to the whole country.
The south has been crushed and devas-
tated to crafty the malevolence or
ambition of Grant is this great enter
prise, which promises her a measure of
recuperation, now to be stricken down
in the interest of two railroad mag
mates? Let the press of the south aud
west watch the course of members of
congress on this bill that it may be
known who are bought up by the
Could Huntington combination, and
who are acting in the fullest extent.

Especial Telegram to the Chicago Times.l
NEW YORK, January 2S.-Collector
Arthur held grand levee in the col
lector's Office of the custom house this
evening. 1t is estimated that more
than three thousand ladies and gentle-
men Of the city called, for the purpose
OF obtaining look at the khedive of
Egypt's magnificent wedding gift to
General Sherman's daughter. Among
those who called were Admiral Porter,
in company with Lieutenant Fitch,
the husband of the fortunate recipient.
Mr.. Tiffany, Of Tiffany'& Co., of this
city, valued the jewels ut over $500, 900.
Another expert pronounced them to be
worth $2SO,O00. The estimate of Mr..
Marsh, the official diamond appraiser of
the custom house, is that they would
bring from S270,0O0 to S300000. No one
has counted them all, but it is supposed
that there are over 800 in the pieces.
James Fisk, jr., paid duty on $2S, 600 on
his famous diamond, and it had flaw
in it. There are seventeen diamonds
in the khedive's present that are near
ly as large again as Fisk's diamond.
Some are little off color,but there are
others that are perfectly pure. They have
been in the custom house over week,
having come over in the Parthia,
which arrived here last week. They
were carried direct from the vessel to
the custom house by messenger, who
did not know what he was carrying.
They were locked up for the night in
the custom house safe, and tomorrow
they will be sent TO Tiflany's, where
they are to remain on exhibition for a
few days. They will then be forwarded
TO st. Louis, where Mrs. Fitch resides.

The proposed new rule introduced
Into the United States house OF repre-
sentatives, is simply plot by the rad
icals to carry out their rascality. The
rule provides that when question Is
before the house, the speaker shall en-
tertain only two dlatory motions, the
previous question to be ordered on the
same day only by three-fourths vote.
The regular appropriation bills would
come in under this rule, and as the jobs
are always put on them in the senate,
the lobby are interested. The demo-
cratic old guard minority stood their
ground aud defeated its immediate con-
sidcration.
THE citizens of Fort Griffin have
their recourse at law against Colonel
Buell.. The law under which the suit
may be brought was affirmed in the
case of Macall vs.. Mcdowell. This
was the case In which the subordinates
of General Mcdowell, United States
army, while commanding in Califor-
mia, arrested parties in San Francisco
at the close of the war, and brought
them in irons to that city. The gen.
eral was held liable for the action Of
his subordinates, and fined five hun
dred dollars, which he paid.
A NUMBER Of gentlemen here, who
have the means, enterprise and taste
to carry out successfully anything they
attempt, have taken In hand the fair
grounds and race course. The plan for
theproper arrangement and adornment
of the first and the preparation of the
latter has been made by competent
engineer and landscape gardener, and
it is the design of these gentlemen to
put these institutions upon such basis
as will for the future make them the
pride of the state. The HERALD will
take another occasion to enter into
particulars and set forth the plans Of
the new departure.
THAT mileage matter has suspi-
cious look about it that requires light
upon it. The resolution of Mr.. Storey
in the house is to the point. No menu
ber of the legislature must be permit
ted to taint the reputation of that body
by any doubtful drawings of mileage.
What each member is entitled to let
him receive, but there must be no dis
crepancies of any kind between the
number of miles charged for and the
of miles the party is entitled
to by law. These sort of performances
should be left to legislatures made up
of carpet baggers, scalawags and vi
cious, ignorant, purchasable charac-
ters, but the people of Texas are in no
hurhOr to tolerate for moment any
grabbing.

BUSINESS or rHE DISTRICT COURT.
Meetiag or the BAR Association 10
| Take tr;iDa Thereon.

Pursuant to n call the bar association
OF Dallas met Mt the court house, al
half past twelve o'clock yesterday, to
devise means to extend the time oI
holding court, SO as to transact the
business, the present length OF time
allowed being wholly inadequate.
Colonel John C. Mccoy was called tc
the chair; J. G.. Eblen was appointed
/ secretary.
After some spirited preliminary dis
clsslon, the meeting adjourned until
four o'clock p. NJ, when it reassem-
bled.
Mr.. Stevens introduced a resolution
authoring the chairman to appoint a
committee Of five, to memorialize the
legislature to make separate judicial
district of Dallas county.
Mr.. w. l.. Williams offered sub
stitute that the committee of five be
instructed to memorialize the legisla'
ture to grant the petition of the Tar
rant county bar, which detaches Tar
rant from the fourteenth judicial dis
trict and attaches 1t to the thirteenth,
and to give the time now allotted to
Tarrant, to Dallas.
Speeches in favor Of Mr.. Stevens
motion were made by Messrs. E. G..
Bower, Stevens, r. +. Burke and W..
e. Hughes.
Speeches in favor of Mr.. Williams
substitute were made by Messrs. Eblen.
Jenkins, Aldridge and Stemmons.
By permission Of Mr.. Williams, Col
onel Stemmons introduced resolu-
tion providing that Tarrant county be
detached from the fourteenth and
added to the thirteenth; and, that
Dallas and Ellis counties constitute
the fourteenth judicial district.
Our reporter was not furnished with
q copy Of Colonel StemmOns' resolu-
ton. 1t provides, however, that the
Dallas civil court shall be three times
a year and ten weeks each term, and
that two weeks be added to each term
of the criminal court, making them
six weeks each, thus giving ample time
to get through with the civil and GRIM
inal dockets each term, relieving liti-
gants of veXatious and expensive de-
lays, and the county of the enormous
expense of keeping prisoners in jail,
as they are now under the present sys-
tenn.
The question was then called for, and
the association voted unanimously in
favor of Colonel Stemmons' resolu-
ton. The chairman then appointed
the following gentlemen to memori-
alize the legislature as required by Co
lionel Stemmons' resolution: ]. w.
Stemmons, Olin Wellborn, w. E.
Hughes, r. s. Burke, and Mr.. Stevens.
On motion of Mr.. Olin Wellborn,
the chairman, Colonel J. c. Mccoy,
was added to the committee. Tho
meeting then adjourned.
