nes,ruc,,on ofOur Cedar Forests

II is painful TO sec tho cedar forests of
Texas so rapidly destroyed. This valuable
tree is actually being cut down and sold in
our markets for common tirewood. And tho
owners get no more than they do tor the
oaks, hickory and black jack As an article
of commerce it ought to rank with maple
and next to black walnut. When it gets
scarcer it will. We only appreciate virtue
that is lost. We prize most that which is
hardest to get. Two eggs of the
great aux supposed to be extinet), recently
sold in an auction room in Edinburgh, We're
bought by Mr.. Small for Sl6 They were
afterward resold in London, one fetching
$500 and the other l02 guineas, This is
supposel to DO the largest price ever paid
for an egg, except n single specimen of a
moa egg, which was sold in London in 1865
for 81 900, or G2O0. If they were rs com.
mon us hen eggs they would not fetch over
10 cents per dozen. And so it is with our
cedar trees There are acres of them being
destroyed now, which in few years would
sell for more than tho whole farm including
the crop.

PREPARED FOR THE HERALD.
The Uncertainty of Farm Labor.


The scarcity of farm labor in Texas al
this time is nothing new. 1t is an annual
occurrence. There is cause for this 1t is
explained by contemporary Us follows
"I'hose who are compelled TO hire laborers
on the farm or elsewhere are inclined to OK
pect too much Of those they employ, This
Is especially the case in the country, where
the work to be done is none Of the lightest
or most pleasant; for, if the truth must be
told, no man with much brains, and who is
at all industrious and saving, is going to work
on farm for many years in y country where
land Is TO be had for the asking, and small
farms already under cultivation can be pur-
chased for few hundred dollars. When
ever we find man who has been working
around for number of years among farm
ers, we may rest assured that there is some-
thing wrong about him, or he would have
had land of his own"
Our landlords wonder why they cannot
perfect life lease upon farm laborers as
they do in Europe. The same contemporary
thus tells why they cannot; at Is very diff
ferent in Europe, and especially in Great
Britain, where the ordinary farm laborer
knows thst IL would be almost preposlerous
in him to aspire to DO the owner of a farm.
But in the United States, where almost any
one who desires 1t can own n farm, or at least
rs much land us he can cultivate with his
own hands, with such opportunities before
him it cannot reasonably be expected that
any Industrious, ambitious farm laborer will
long remain tho servant Of any one, for it is
much more pleasant to be master than SER
want, even il there is nothing gained in the
way Of worldly goods by the change, TAX.
ing this view of tho subject, the farmer has
more reason to rejoice that tho laborers 10
employs nre no better, or they would soon be
working farms of their own and he be left
without help of any kind"
An Industrious, frugal man can make
enough in Texas in tho course of twelve
months to start farm ION his own hook."
He can get moro land than he can tend on
one, two and five years or from three to six
years time, can lease 1t, or preempt it--can
get il upon tho easiest terms in the world,
and from thence the battle of life is made
clear to him and Is resolved into question
Of industry. They quickly learn this after
getting 10 Texas and that class of men who
do not take advantage of it are the kind
farmers don't want, and those who do are the
kind they do want but cant get longer than
for ono season. But all this more particular
ly refers to white men. With negroes it Is
different, Few Of that race but prefer Ne
Independent life of aborer to the cares o.i
harrassments of n proprietor. They are
naturally dependent creatures, and look for
some one to supply the brain while they fur
nlsh the muscle.

The Worm aud the Cotton situation

For the week ending to-day no rain has
fallen in this and adjoining counties. The
sun has shone intensely hot with the Their
momotor each day scoring 100 ana on Mon
day it touched 1903, This has been fatal to
worms in uplands, while in lowlands they
have been driven from the top and middle to
the bottom bolla and when not protected
there by the dense foliage routed from the
plant entirely. The decrease has been quite
perceptiblo, though few still linger in cold
damp spots. A few days more of this
weather will certainly end the boil worm.
They have been far worse in some fields
than in Others on the same plantati n, as they
have been worse in some counties than others.
1t would be more difficult to arrive at the
exact loss than at a correct census Taking
the prospects on the LIST day of August as
tho basis, what ARE they now? a whole
gatliu gun of questions here follow and with
no correct known dates to answer ono of
them. Such Ms how many fields have been
attacked how large were they, how much
| have they ravaged, etc, etc, etc. Some plan
ters place their los upon the gross crop at
one-third, others one-half and y few 20 rs
high as three quarters. II is one of those
instances no ono will ever be able to sccu-
rately estimate in bales, dollars and cents
Respectable guesses are all that can
be made, though we will in time
know how far short of the bale to the acre
promised we will fall,
AS to the labor question it has been indif
ferently solved The committee appointed
to APPEAL to other states for help have met
with no success at all, further than receiving
information and inquiries where it can be
had to moro or loss extent. Meantime the
city has been pretty well stripped of all its
cooks, wasberwomen, hostlers, houschol
help, and oilers generally. Some of the
wealthiest families in the town are without a
servant, all having gone to the cotton patch
es. They cannot be had without paying as
much as they can make picking, two or
three dollars per day, and as this is "out of
all charact' ~ our good wives and daughters
now preside over the cook.stove in person,
while some Of the "horrd men, are getting
far better cooked meals than they are used
to. 1t pretty rough on cur ladies this hot
weather. We suggest financial idea to
them; that they insist upon drawing the
cooks and the house.girps pay, and that no
questions DO asked what they do with the
money, The writer has placed lis household
upon that footing with the happiest results,
and hears the hope expressed that cotton
picking will at least last until lease is
secured upon all the fall and winter styles.

Cucumber Pickles.

w. D. Philbrick, in the American Guilt
vator, says: "Cucumber pickles are usually
sailed for keeping during August, since they
are most plentiful at this season, and are
kept without difficulty by observing a few
simple rules. The brine for sailing them
should be strong enough to float potato,
and they must be kept und,r it. The brine
will also need to be poured over every few
days for two weeks, in order to prevent the
fresh juice of the cucumbers rising to the
top and becoming sour, The pickles fermcnt
In the brine, and dirty scum rises to the top
Of the barrel, which should DO removed. To
keep the pickles under the brine, the barrels
are provided with q loosely fitting cover,
which must be loaded with stone and watched
as the pickles settle, and care taken to keep
them from the air. Any pickles coming to
the air will quickly soften and spoil, and
should be promptly thrown away to prevent
them from spelling the brine. When the
pickles are wanted for use they are taken out
Of the brine and placed in fresh water, which
is to DO frequently changed In day or
two they viii become fresh, and should then

are known in the market as English pickles

They Dug Their Graves with Their
Teeth"

So said physician long ago, and then he
went on to explain how gluttony, crowded
and sutlocated the digestive organs. The
Rural New Yorker says: Every observing
physician of the present time Is aware that
there is vast amount of disease which Is
tho direct result oyer.eating, Part of this
over.eatlug, perhaps large part, is pure
glu,tony; but there is n still larger portion
which Is due to bad cooking Whom our
oodingreat part isindlgestble, the unsatisded
craving for nutriment tends constantly to
cause over-eating. The great bulk OF food
thus taken into the stomach affords no sup.
port to the system. But it is not harmless.
II cannot be digested, but it finds in the
moisture, movement and warmth of the intes
tines all the conditions of rapid putrofac,on,
and this putrefaction, constantly going on
within the body in contact with actively
absorbent surfaces, is n most fertile cause Of
ill.health. Women who wish their husbands
and children to live long and enjoy life
should train themselves well in the science
and art of cookery"

SAID OF 1T AT THE TINE,

WASHINGTON, D. C.,|
Nov. 30, 1867
To Major General Hancock:
My DEAR GENEEAL-This moment
| read your admirable order. l am
much engaged, but l cannot resist
the temptation to steal time enough
from my clients to tell you how
grateful you have made me by your
patriotic and noble behavior. Yours
is the first, most distinct and most
emphatic recognition which the prin-
eiples of American liberty has re.
ceived at the hands of any high off
Ger in Southern command. 1t has
the very ring of the Revolutionary
metal. Washington never said. a
thing in better taste or better time.
1t will prove to all men that "Peace
hath her victories not less renowned
than those of war;" congratulate
you not because it will make you the
most popular man in America, flor |
dare say you care nothing about
that) but because it will give you
through all time the solid reputation
of true patriot and sincere lover
of your country, its laws and its
Government. This, added to your
brilliant achievements as a soldier,
will leave you without rival in the
affections of all whose good will is
worth having, and give you place
in history which your children will
be proud of.
This acknowledgement from me
does not amount to much, but am
expressing only the feelings of mil
lions, and expressing them feebly
at that.
With profound respect, am yours,

Revelation Burst

Upon the public press and medical pro
fession, when, over twenty-five years ago,
that grand result Of medical research and
synthetic skill, Hostetter's Stomach Bitters,
was given to the world. Soon after it had
been started on its curative mission it was
discovered that its botanic properties far
surpassed those Of the approved mineral
remedies Of the day. Not the least among
the good consequences Of its general use
has been to disabuse mems minds Of the
many absurd medical fallacies, and TO
demonstrate the superiority of vegetable
remedies. It eonquers and prevents mala-
rial fevers, dyspepsia, chronic cOnsdpa-
ton, a tendency TO kidney and bladder
ailments and rheumatism, and Is Of the
greatest value in cases Of bodily trouble
arising from weakness. Old people are
greatly aided by it, and it Is highly sery-
iceable to cOnvalescents and ladies in deli
cate health. Its, moreover, a useful medi-
cine to take with one on long journeys,
and counteracts the effects Of mental eE-
haustion. janIW4
