Abolishing the Horse.

Just think of it! Scientists say that
in q few years there will be no need of
horses; that inventions have been per-
fected which will give us artificial loco
motion, and we can do without the aid
of quadrupeds. 1t is not the bicycle,
although that is coming more and more
into popular favor. Already we hear
of the improved bicycles being used in
travelling all over the country; but the
new machines are run by kind of air.
pump and have already been tried in
England. Their inventor is a Colonel
Beaumont, a member of Parliament,
and he has succeeded in hauling twelve
tons twenty miles with only one charge
of air. The machine is noiseless, and
looks like large tank on wheels, with
handles on top, where the driver is
placed. This engine, it is thought, is
capable of immense development, and
may not only replace horses, but dis
pense, in a measure, with railways.
Just think of it! A machine that will
do the work of horse twenty times re-
peated and which will never run away!
What new marvel is in store for usp-

TIE HERALD, WEDNESDAY MORNING.

Of leaves and trash. The first one paid SIS to
put his gin in repair and in order, and per-
haps had economy enough to buy new one
with all the improvements before he com
menced on his crop. The other has an old
well.worn rattle-box, rusty, dull, rickety and
out Of order ut all points. Whilst the first
makes $50 by saving it, the other loses $l5
upon every, bale run through it. The
majority ofbuyers seldom look at the staple,
but they all look for dirt and trash and stain,
and the quantity Of these determines its
market value. A new gin and Clubhouse,
crew-press, and all can be purchased and
paid for with what is lost on every thirty
dirty bales.
And it is with wheat, with oats with corn,
with butter, and every thing else almost.
The cleanest is always the best grade. Says
the New York Tribune:
II is only poor farming that don't pay. A
trult-grower sends an unassOTted lot of big
and little, fair and gnarly apples to market,
and gets returns that scarcely cover cost,
while his neighbor will receive twice rs much
for halt the quantity. One butter-maker is
paid 10 cents the pound and another 49, and
theirideas of the profit Of dsirying are little
wider than the prices of their products. 1t
is so in every enterprise of the farm. One
would suppose that in wheat culture by ma
chinery there would be little chance for diff
ference in results of harvesting and market
ing, yet even there is abundant opportunity
for the blight of carelessuess to assert its de-
structv power. For instance, in Alameda
county California, lot of 2,l0! centals of
wheat could only command bid of so cents
per GENITAL, because not in the cleanest con-
dition by tho separator. The owner was
neither so lazy nor SO thoughtess to accept
it, but had it cleaned and was offered 81.
Elated with so largo a gain at so small an
outlay he gave it second cleaning, and
then sold the shipping wheat for 81 1913,
1886 $40 centals; 12S $40 centals Of feed
and So 3-4 centals OF oats and burrs, for all
of which he received S2.24l a. As the
cleaning cost $l47 IA, he.made clear poriit
of SAP 95. "Cleanliness is nextto goodli-
ness" and profitable in all things"
Would you buy dingy, stained piece of
cloth from merchant if he asked you more
than half price? Neither would he from
you for anything in the same condition.
There are ladies in every county who have
engagements to sell their batter the year
round Mt 25 and 30 cents per pound, when,
during at least half the time the market price
is 12I and Is cents. Their buckets and
napkins and butter always come perfectly
and absolutely clean, and in that way they
sell one dollars worth for two dollars, and
their unclean neighbors wonder how they do
it. The consumer knows everything about
that household is on the order Of the butter,
conscience included. Cleanliness is not only
akin to goodness, but to gold, "yea much
fine gold"

Book-kcepimg on the Farm.

No matter what business you are engaged
at, it is in the last degree better to Mt all times
know what you are doing and how stands the
balance. No matter how small or how large
may be the business of the Southern farmer,
it seldom occurs to him to open regular or
any other set of books. HIS planting, stock
raising, ginning and milling may be run up
on the most extensive scale, and he trusts it
all to memory or excepting it in
his head" or loose bits Of
paper stuck at random about
the house. He hates TO be bothered about
writing anything, and will not even "set
down" the most important events to him,
much less keep record of every transaction
whose importance may not admit Of the
least doubling at some future day.
Every farmer should have desk with
pigeon-holes and drawers in which to keep
his deeds, notes, correspondence, pen, pencil
and paper. He ought to have at least one
medium sized handbook, in which to plainly
enter his receipts of and payments of cash,
and what he received and paid it out for
to enter what no owes for and to whom, the
amount he produces each year, as nearly as
possible, and no may number off his fields
and give each a page If he desires to keep
every detail, set down the number and kind
of stock, and keep an accurate account
with his several hands hired, the day they
began work, and money, food or clo,hiag
drawn. An intelligent daughter or wife may
be quickly learned how to do all this for him,
for it is exceedingly simple and will not re-
quire an average of over five minutes each
day. The day of planting and the day of
maturity kept for a few years will give you
the average time it takes corn to grow, or
wheat, or anything else, and then you can at
any time tell when you will have new sup
ply. Method is the nurseling mother of
economy. Let there be order and system
and detail in this desk and in these books and
papers, and so it will become in every part
of that house and that farm. Order is heav-
ems first law.

Battle of washington. Texas.

Several years before the late civil war be-
tween the States, II battle took place in the
streets of Washington, Texas, in which,
although hundreds were killed and thou
sands wouRded has never found place in
history, State or National. There was Il
regular army, estimated ut one hundred
thousand strong, ut least, engaged on either
side, and with Generals, Captains and sol
diers. Lest my reader will retreat here,
will state it was the large red ant, SO com
mon to Texas, at war. In the morning the
citizens of the town noticing myriads of
them moving through tho streets, coming
down from the north and up from the south.
The collision took place on Main street, and
there for three days hand-to hand conflict
ragged night and day. The line of battle
was near the center of the street.-the side
walks and the space between the rallying
points for the repulsed and the wounded.
Beautiful battalions would form and
move up to the attack and most heroic
ally would they be met by the enemy. The
citizens of the town watched the desperate
conflict with hegreatest interest, and thought
they detected all the herosm and strategy
in it ever displayed by man at Ia Tours,
Poictiers, Jena and Waterloo. At the end Of
three days each army retired from whence
it came and ants alone knowing which
had won the victory or whether it was u
drawn battle.
