FROM TEXAS.
BELL COUNTY,


Editor Patron: AS it has been some
time since we have read anything IN the
columns of your most excellent paper fl ON
Sparta Grange, will attempt to give you
a few items.
l am happy to say that Sparta Grange
is in a prosperous condition. Although
we have been environed by many difficult
ties, vet, by the patriotism of our Worthy
Master, A Walton, and few other vete-
rams in the cause, who have stood boldly
and squarely to the principles of the Order
and flung the banner to the breeze, we
have come out more than conqueror. Our
membership now numbers about fifty, all
working members with no axes to grind,
but true Patrons working for the common
interest of all.
We received seven petitions last meet
ing, and others are knocking at the gate
We also have a cooperative store, and are
doing a very good business; we have an
active, efficient agent, which l consider
the key to our success; we purchase oul
goods from our Business Agency at Gal
weston, and am glad to say that the Man
ager, Bro. J. S. Rogers, is giving satisfac'
ton to all Patrons who trust their produce
to his care.
So you see we feel very much encour
aged. And we hope this great reviva
''all along the line" will inspire every true
Patron with new zeal and patriotism, anc
encourage him to renew his efforts to pusf
forward the great Car of Grangerism tc
a glorious success. Fraternally,

FARMING-TWO WAYS OF DO
ING 1T.

In passing through the country, it is not
difficult to see who is prospecting and who
is not.
AS you approach one place the dilapi-
dated fences and buildings will show
from a distance that there is carelessness
in the management The fence corners
will be full of weeds aad briars the reap
er will be seen in the open field, when it
should have been put away months ago.
Plows. harrows and tools can be seen
living around out doors, where they may
Law until wanted next spring. Inferior
stock can be seen going pretty much where
they please, on account of bad fences, and
the crops in keeping with the rest of
things Is it any wonder that such a sys-
tenn of working land don't pay? This is
what such men will tell u.s. and that they
intend getting at something else. We
forgot to mention that the above will not

ANGULAR CATTLE.-Sharp irregularities
denote disposition to fatten slowly. A
smooth surface and compact flesh denote
vlgor and evenly packed flesh, Of course
the angularities of the coarse beast may be
IN measure overcome by state of fat
ness, but the flesh of such beast will be
coarse and unsavory. The flesh of the OK
or the cow cannot be good unless it be
marbled-fat and lean intermingled-said
to be marbled because of its resemblance
to marble, having light lines dispersed

ON SOME POINTS IN BREEDING


In Jersey stock, the great deficiency to-.
day is bulls that represent large yield of
butter Of course, there are many that
are good; but several herdsof good cows
some, indeed, very choite-have very
poor bulls. It's admitted tat heifers get
more butter quality from her sires than
from their dams. A good oull get better
heifers from second-rate cows than poor
bull will from first-rate COWS. ! have a
cow that is thick in the neck and should
ers, beefy in the throat, coarse and steep
in the rump, deficient in rear udder, not
deep in the flank, with sm,ll teats and
white skin, and yet hel daughter is slim
in the neck and shoulders, :lean in the
throat, fine and level in the rmp, very full
in front and rear udder, deepin the flank,
with large square set teats, and skin as
yellow as gold. She is a small wedge
shaped COW, and her yield or grass alone,
as a two year old, was over e quarts a
day, and of butter 81 pounds per week,
while her dam would not give over 10
quarts per day, nor over 7 pounds of but
ter per week.
This bull in other cases has shown that
he transmits the same characteristics, most
of which he inherits from his dam But
his latent udder, as shown in his daugh-
ter. is even fuller than his dan's, and his
skin is deeper yellow, thus proving that
his sire on the Island of Jersey must have
been a good uddered and skinned bull;
yet he, with a good thigh minor had es-
cutcheon between his thighs. | confess to
this being the reason why, for three years,
| passed on him as being below the stand
ard, because of his deficient mirror.
Thus, while the most promising looking
bull may get inferior looking he;fers, we
see that the condemned bull NAV really be
of greater value, and, as they say, be
''worth his weight in gold" And, if any
ask why SO, l reply that his value will be
shown in all of his get, especially of his
daughters, and crop out i'll his descendants
after he is dead. The universal prevalence
of white udders among Jerseys, makes
them appear to disadvantage in this re-
spect, when compared with the yellow
skin Guernseys. 1t can be corrected only
by the use of a bull with yellow scrotum,
but, of course, the shape of his dams nd
Ger must not be sacrificed for the sake OF
his skin color. When one can get bull
the produce of two such choice animals.
SO that with good form and fine breeding
the inherited udder and teats shall be
faultless, and the skin intensified with
deep yellow, he has reached near to per
lection, and has an animal that gives him
immense controlling power of all that is
valuable in herd where yield of butter is
the main consideration-C L. S. in Conn

Speaking of the inhuman treatment ~
pententiary convicts under the contract
system, Dallas, Texas, paper says:
They are sent to the woods, to planta.
tons and railroads to be worked to the
last inch of endurance Whips clubs docs
shot guns, and six shooters are the means
used to hold the gangs in check or spur
them on to greater exertion. These tbe
guards are permitted to use almost ad lib-
ltum. They are not even restrained BY tbe
self interest which attahhes to possession
Inc owner of horse will not treat him
SO cruelty as to injure him or DESTROY his
life But it is not so with the convict
guard He don't care whether the CON
wet lives or dies, He wants work ont Of
hlm' and, whether sick or we'll, drives him
to it, ''
The whole thing is an outrage and a
plot upon the State. Truly it is no won
der that such system as this brings forth
cruelties which startled the whole com.
monWealth. Nor can it be wondered at
that men who have been thus treated lose
all manhood and hope, and go from the
penltentiary to harrass and prey upon So
ciety.

AT EVENING

AT EVENING.
Pale crescent, ere thou sink'st beneath
The woods and waters of the west.
o, let thy gentle influence breathe
A charm DER her that love best;
Assure her, by thy tranquil brow,
That am thinking of der now.
Before thy sweetest glimmer plays
On western waters warm and far.
Be sure to glance, be sure to gaze,
In gentler eyes than yonder star
Blue as the skies thy flight above
The soulful eyes of her / love.
Before thy course shall lie behind
Those islands far away and green,
o, beam a dream into the mind
OF her l love, thou crescent queen,
Then kiss the lips that mine have prest
And sink contented to thy rest

But twas only picture, twas only dream.

To walk the bridge over the Rhine,

The Atchison, Topeka and Santa F, company evidently intend to very soon survey preliminary line east ward from Tucson. \ member of the surveying party Charles ". Town send) writing to the Chicago Tribune at Santa Fe on August 21, has this to say in point;
 We leave here fer Albuuuerdue on Thursday next. From thence. bidding farewell to even Mexican civilization we start at once for Tucson, in Arizo ma, 600 miles distant from santa Fe We expect that the journey to Tucson will occupy nearly month. We shall probably follow the Rio Grande south to point below Fort Craig. and tben go southwest, by way of Silver City and across the B,nrO mountains. On reaching Tucson, we shall commence running preliminary survey in near iy direct line back towards Albu querque.
 This movement may be one made in good faith with a view to make con nection with Guaymas over the short. est space on Mexican territory: and il may be one of strategy to influence de Slrablc connections or terms with the Southern Pacific.
