TO the Editor Of The Herald
SlR--As the Galveston News saw
proper to misrepresent the speech of
the Hon. W. W Lang, Master of the
State Grange, delivered in the House
on the consideration Of the bill for the
Incorporation of railroads, justice de.
mands that the speech OF that gentle
man should be fairly put before the
people of Texas, Mr. Lang sniA
Mr. Spcaker--Sir | have tic honor
10 represent constituency the leople
of Falls county, whose views are broad
and liberal. They. arn not pcnt mp IN
the narrow limits OF tuclr county, but
extend to every section where the plow-
share upturns the soil to the rays OF
the sun, Sir too, can speak for the
farmers Of every portion of tins State,
upon this subject They have approved
my views, time and time again hold
that railroads are rs essential to IL. yea
as necessary to-day as were common
dirt roads fifty years ago, We cannot
do without them in this rapid age Of
progress and steam They are con-
structcd rs convcnienccs to the produc-
ers, for they are they who pay the
lreights and who need cheap and
rapid Transportation. The producers
of this State cannot afford to be
unfricndly to railroads or any other
modes of transportation. We have no
water courses sufficient for navigation
We have broad and boundless prairics,
unsurpassed in fertility, which must be
chackered with railroads to bear away
to other countries the rich products
which will annually arise from their
bosom, And while we, as farmers, are
not unfriendly to these gigantic enter
prises, yet we could but desire that they
should be made subject to the control
of the Legislature. We would not have
them to divide sovereignty with the
people We ask to make them subject
to the will of the people, and make
them conduce to public prosperity,
They are constructed by our aid and for
our benefit, and we can not consistently
with our own interest act against the
best interests of railroads, Sir, our de-

State Board of Centennial Managers.

At recent meeting of this Board it
was decided to arrange for a collection
of fruits, vegetables and grains, in their
season, during the coming summer, for
exhibition at Philadelphia. 1t is espec-
tally desirable to obtain vegetables OF
extraordinary growth, apples, peaches,
pears, and grains both threshed and in
the stalk. Ii fruit-growers, farmers and
gardeners will give a little care and at
tention to this matter, the Kansas Expo
sition building at Philadelphia will con-
tain an attraction and varied display
which will be of incalculable value to the
State, in calling public attention to the
very best evidences of the adaptability
of her soil and climate for the production
of these important products.
When the proper time comes for gath
ering these articles, suitable persons,
designated for that purpose, will visit
the citizens of such counties as shall in
the meantime indicate to this Office that
they have meritorious specimens to fur
nish. Due credit will be given in every
instance to the grower and locality, and
the producer, when required, will be paid
for the collections so furnished.
The hearty cooperation of the people
of the State is earnestly solicited. The
display at Philadelphia will be conspic.
uous success or failure-invaluable or
disastrous to the best interests of the
State, just in proportion and to the ex-
tent this hearty cooperation or lethargy
shall prevail.
By order of the Board of Managers,
ALFRED GREY, Secretary.

Take four pieces of grape vine, o

dish of suitable size, and coil them in g
boiler of hot water, boiling or soaking
them until pliable, when remove and
fasten around the dish, securing the ends
by tying and twining wire around the
different strips in three or four pla
ces, to hold in proper situation. Cut q
number of vine leaves from leather,
using the cutters or mouIds sold for wax

marbles in chamois-skin, or old hid glove
fastening piece of leather.colored vine
in each one. Paint these, the leaves
and frame of light brown. Place large
full cluster at the top, and make vine

Preparing Chicken Feathers.

B Benjamin, New York, wrote as fol

long ago, 9 new use of chicken feathers,
which may bring large profits. The ope'
ration is to cut the plume portion of the
feathers from the stem by means of ordi
nary shears or scissors. The former are
placed in quantities in coarse bag

to thorough kneading with the hands
By this process the feathers in few

would be in the neighborhood of 1.f

Improved Stock.

The Rural Sun says that the mass Of
farmers have learned by actual test that
improved stock pays best, although many
were 10th to give up the old kinds, con-
tending for long time that all this i'm
proved stock was only for rich farmers,
who had plenty of money to spend in
keeping them, but experience has proved
that it does not pay to raise scrub stock
of any kind, and that to be successful
in raising stock on the farm only the
improved breeds pay; not necessarily the
thoroughbreds for the shambles. But
crosses of some of the improved breeds,
always using thoroughbred males for
breeding, and the progress of the next
decade will be more apparent than ever
in the past, since the merits and advan-
tages of the improved stock have just
become apparent to all, and are now
pretty we'll recognized.

Rules for Table Etiquette.

Pure politeness has its origin in Chris.
tan charity and kindness, and all stand
ard rules of etiquette were founded fol
the greater convenience and happiness Of
society.
Although the reasons may not be oh
vious at first sight, they exist. and will
be apparent on careful consideration:
l. Do not keep others waiting for you
either at the beginning or the close Of
the meal.
2. Do not sip soup from the tip, but
from the side of the spoon.
8. Be careful not to spill or drop any
thing on the table cloth.
4. In passing your plate to be helped,
retain your knife and fork.
5. When asked for your plate, dc. not
shove, but hand it.
6. Keep your plate neat; do not heap
all sorts of food on it at once.
Z. When drinking do not look around.
8. Use your knife only for cutting
food or spreading butter, do not put il
in your mouth, or to your lips.
9. Break your bread into small pieces.
and rest them on your plate while spread.
ing.
10. If you find anything unpleasant in
your tood'put it aside as quietly as pos
sible, without drawing the attention Of
others to it.
IL. Do not open the lips or make I'M
necessary noise in chewing.
IL. Do not touch the head.
IL. Do not rest the elbows on the
table.
IA. Do not speak with the mouth full.
Is. Brush the table neatly before bring

The Western Rural tells of man who
plants two or three weeks after the crop
is planted, a new hill of corn every
fifteenth row each way. And this is the
reason. If the weather becomes dry
after the filling time, the silks and tassels
both become dry and dead. In this con-
dition, if it should become seasonable, the
silk revives and renews its growth, but
the tassels do not recover. Then, for
want of pollen, the new silk is unable to
fill the Office for which it was designed.
The pollen from the replanted corn is
then ready to supply the silk, and the
filling is completed. He says nearly all
the abortive ears so common in all corn
crops, are caused by .he want of pollen,
and he had known ears to double their
size in this second filling.

Condition Of Farm Animals.

As a general rule cattle and sheer
went into winter quarters in good condi-
ton. Up to the first of March, in all
sections of the country east of the Rocky
Mountains, the winter was extraordinary
for its mildness, diminished area and
quantity of snow, and comparative free
dom from hard storms. One consequence
was, unusual exemption from diseases
affecting farm-stock; another a greatly
diminished demand for stored feed.
Owing to this latter together with gen.
erous hay and corn crops, the localities
have been very few and limited in exten,
in which suffering and emaciation from
hunger could not be prevented by any
thing like reasonable precaution and
care. In those sections which make no
provisions for sheltering, and little or
none for feeding stock in winter, the
mildness of the weather and their conse-
quent success in sufficiently providing
for their own wants and comfort, resulted
in conditions of health and vigor, which
enabled them for the most part to with
stand, without great loss or depreciation,
the extraordinary cold and storms of
March. which, east Of the Pacific slope.
