Development. n.9

During the fiscal year 1879 the number Of aerss
of public lands disposed Of by the government
for cash under the homestead acts, the timber
acts. and located with agricultural scripa and
military bounty land warrants, was 8650,219.
During the fiscal year 1880 the number Of
sales during 1880 were larger than during say
year since 1868.
The mos, noticeable feature of the business
during the year was the extent to which the
public lands were disposed OF in The Southezn
States

disposition Of lands in some Southern S,atea and
the Territories OF Arizona and New Mexico

Important Announcement.

A some of the dealers in the Home Sana-
tive Cordial felt uncertain whether they
could sell it as medicine, and free from y
liquor occupation tax, we beg to state that in
the trial of case ,ently decided in the
county court ofEllis c. lnty, at Waxahschie,
where Mr.. Benjamin White WAS presented
for selling, in violation of the local option
law, the defense established that the Home
Sanativo Cordial was n compound tincture
of cslisaya and iron, The jury pronounced
it II real medicine, and declared the defend.
ant not guilty. 1t is thus medicine in the
eyes of the law, and dealers can sell
it without paying occupation liquor tax.

A mortgage upon the farm should .be
Stunned as the most venemous virer that
money lender creeps n iselessly upon the
place he covets, and with soft, candiec words
places his money and his clutches upon the
home. He suggests, how it can be i'm
proved and made doubly remuneraive
by the expenditure, and with many
protests of pare friendship and assurances
that when the loan falls dus be will not be
hard on you, accepts the mortgage "as n
mere matter of form"
He loans bis money like prince and col.
lects it like Shylock Put yourself in his
clutches, fail to pay him dollar for dollar,
principal and interest, and he will crush you
without hesitation and remorse. You cannot
trust your own brother in this mTtter. Your
appeals for mercy on account of the worms
and the weather are as lost AS if made to the
worms and the weather. But, as the Rural
says, if you are in debt, either by mortgage,
note, or plain account, pay oil let the conse-
quences be what they may. They cannot be,
at their very worst, half as hard as the
slavery of debt. 1t is better to be free wolf
than fat dog. And never, as farmer, go
in debta single nickle if you can possibly
avoid it. As long as there is Il dollars worth
of surplus produce on the farm which can
be sold there is no excuse for buying on
credit 1t is as easy to get in debt as to roll
4 rock down hill, and rs hard to get out as
rolling it up hill.

W hat Is the Texas Cattle revor.

1t is strange we hear SO little of "tbe
Texas cattle fever" at home and so much of
it abroad. If there is such disease, and we
suppose there is, it is little talked of among
our cattl' men. In Kansas and Missouri the
farmers dread the approach of one OF our
droves us they would the Bender family.
Some one has addressed let
ter to the New York Sun asking
what this disease is, and the editor makes the
following reply: "The disease known AS
Texas cattle fever has its origin in the low,
malaris regions of the south, especially
those bordering the Gulf of Mexico. The
fever causes an enlargement If the spleen,
very marked changes in the blood, followed
by bloody discharges from the kidneys and
goaeral debility. Texan cattle seem to suf-
fer very little from this disease, but it is very
fatal to northern cattle. 1t is very conta-
gious, but it is not all necessary for northern
attic to come in direct contact with tho
Texan animals in order to take it, because it
is communicated through the bowel dis
charges, and every 70 d, pasturage or water
ing. place frequented by the southern animals
becomes poisoned with the virus of this dis
ease. drove of the fever-stricken stock
passing through county will leave poison
enough to destroy all the native stock over n
large extent of country. Frosts quickly de-
stroy the virus, and for this reason no south
ern cattle should be permitted to enter any
northern state except during frosty weather,
or between the time of the first frosts
OF autumn and the last in spring We had
all along supposed that Kansas and Missouri
had taken the precautionary measures peces.
sary to prevent the introduction of this dis.
ease, but, according to your statement, the
just laws formerly in force have been abro.
gated by the courts. We think the farmers
of Kansas are justified in resisting by force
if necessary, the introduction of Texas cattle
except under regulations that would MOI
place the native stock in danger. Thi,
scourge is easily prevented, aud without
hardship to any one; and it is to be hopet
that tho United Statee government will TAX,
the matter in hand, if the individual state
cannot manage to protect the farmers il
what is no more than their ju.t rights. WI,
the disease does not spread among northery
cattle or become contagious among them
live pleuro-pneumonia an similar diseases
is unknown, but the fact thSt il does not i
well established. An entire herd of norther,
cattle may take the fever by passing along
road where Texan cattle have been, but tn
herd will not communicate the disease [,
another herd with which it may come in con
tact. AT least there Is the almost universe
testimony of those having had most expert
ence with the disease"
The idea of the Sun ard its correspond
ent establishing shotgun quarantir
against Texas cattle is a species Of bull
DOING which would disgrace Louisian
politics. We think there is good deal q
humbuggery about this whole thing, as
pecially the so-called "fever."

Condition of the Crops.

With the exception of few showers fall
ing at random, we have had no rain in north
and middle Texas in thirty days. Vegetable
and field crops continue to grow without in
terruption until the 10th of August, when
gardens began to show signs of failure and
the more tender to wilt. BY the 25th, many
our flower gardens. On the lst of Septem
Der, almost everything had stopped growing,
and the ''sear and yellow leaf" was seen in
the forrest
II was just the weather We wanted 10 kill
off the boil worm and to allow the cotton to
mature, Our corn crop had long since been
made, together with oats, rye and barley,
save in late and in second planting, and
these did not amount to enough to talk
about.
The main business on hand now is cotton.
The bottom and mi die crops arc we'll ma
tured, and 1t is now resting with tho top
crop to determine what shall be made in the
aggregate That crop demands continu.
alton of the hot, dry weather we have been
having for the past month. In regard to the
probable yield, tho average per acre, the
amount destroyed and the amount left by
the boil worm, we leave that to that elias. of
eople who can at all times tell it all to you
down to II half pound, They can tell you
this, and also the exact number of stalks of
whes, in a ten acre patch. These people
know IL all, but their books won't live as
long Ms the Bible, we are afraid.
The boil worm has almost totally dissp
pearei. A few are reported still left in We
Ow, damp lands, but they amount to nothing
scarcely. The top crop this week promises
well. If it fully natures there will be
good average crop raised in this county. In
many other counties of north Texas there
will be great deal more produced than
last Year.
