their bacon. Is this sound judgment
good policy? We know farmers are apt to
hoot at iheidea Of newspapers making sug-
5esti0ns to them as to howto run their BUSH
ness, but We appeal to their good judg-
ment and their good common sense if it is
not better to raise corn enough for their
bread, for their work stock and to fatten
their own meat than TO TO have to buy corn
and meat, thus eating up the profit made
ON his cotton. In every country there are
some times short crops, but it is never the
case that corn, cotton, wheat and
and the other small grains fail or
are short in yield This being true
by planting in fair proportion all these
crops the farmer has something as bul-
wark to protect him. As an illustration,
we know that the wheat crop this year in
north Texas has been most excellent one,
While corn and cotton have both been I'M
der the average, and those farmers who put
their faith in cotton alone must necessarily
be pushed, for with everything to buy. and
raising but little with which to purchase
their supplies, they must either trench
upon and draw from what they have saved
or else 90 in debt, and the farmer
is the last man in the world who ought to
go in debt, because of all avocations in life
his is the only one perhaps where there
need never be cause for it. Agriculture is
the basis of every country's prosperity. and
Hby miSmanagement or bad judgment the
farmers of the land fail, then every other
business and industry and enterprise Lays
ana inertia epsues, bringing with it stagna-
ton and distress, Let Us suppose, for an
instance, that by some wonderful and start
hing freak of nature the seasons should en-
tirely fail throughout the American Union
and there should be an entire failure
IN the field products of the country what
would the consequences be? Can any man
conceive of the want, the misery and the
dire distress that would cnsue. Every bus
mess in the land, save the cofiin-makers
and the graye-digger's would be at a stand
still. There would be paralysis of trade
and traffic and labor, and a woe as horrible
as that depicted by Byron in his Dark
ness, wherein the sun was extinguished
and " the blind and blackcned earth hung
in the moonless air, would fall upon the
earth. This will meyer be we reasonably
know but it is sometimes partially the case
and the diversity of crops is then the only
safeguard.

Tnr publication of warning of Colonel
Rockwell to all authors and biographers
not TO write any life of the late
President Garfield, as that would be at
tended to in good time b. Mrs. Garfield, is
entirely gratuitous and quite amusing.
People in this country when they want to
write books don't generally ask permission
Of any one, but go right ahead and write
them. We have no doubt that the life and
times Of the late president that may be
written under the auspices of Mrs Gar
field as she has all his literary productions,
hia speeches, his diary, etc, will be the
complctest, most authentic and most in
tcreStins of all such publications that may
come to light but that cannot prevent any
other book-makcr from occupying the same
field, BY how many different authors has
The life and achievements of Napoleon
Bonapartc been written? And has not the
life and deeds of George Washington been
penncd by innumcrable biographers?
Colonel Rockwell must remember that this
country is not despotism, nor he an auto
orpt TO issue cdicts as he wills.
