[pREpARED FOR THE nrRALD].
During the Week


We have had one or two fair days during
the week. They were not improved. Farm
work is still in a state Of suspend ed auima-
ton" with the ground frozen. and, as Burns
would say, "Janu'ar winds blawin' cauld."
Thus passed the months of Nov mber and
December, and thus has passed January.
1t can't be helped All our farmers can do
is to fold their arms and wsit for the spring
to open; that ia, that is all they can do in the
way of actual cropping. Any labor upon
the soil now would be thrown away. Blu.
itois good time TO extend fencing and repair
old ones; TO recover the barn, and do gem
al amount of patching and mending Winter
will not last much longer as general thing
Gold spells will come for many
|, weeks yet The indications are that the
shring will open late. This is at least the
rule after such q hard winter SIS we are now
having But, as before remarked, good
crop seasons always follow hard winter
If that be true there is happy time before
the farmers of Texas. In few weeks hence
all our suffering will be forgotten in a glori-
Gus burst of spring.
A few hundred bales Of cotton in each
county have beer. marketed and more or less
efforts made to finish picking. A. large
amountof corn remains'to be gathered. Our
iarmera had better safely house every ear Of
it. This ia more or less uncertain crop in
Texas. They cannot have too much on
hand. A years surplus is not excessive.
They can at any time sell off what they
don't want as easily as cotton.
II would be good cautionary measure to
