Six counties in Texas-viz: An
drews, Dawson, Gaines, Martin, Ter
ry and Yoakum-have a total pop
uIation Of forty four, Of whom thir-
ty-seven are males. One of these
counties, Dawson, contains about
1000 square miles, and the others
do not differ materially from it in
size. A little ciphering will show
the meaning of these figures. The
people Of Dawson county, if the land
was equally divided, would hold
about twenty-three square miles
each, or a farm nearly five miles
square. As the land is nearly all
tillable, produce enough ought to be
raised on such a farm to support its
single occupant in good style and
leave something over Six other
Texas counties, viz: Bailey, Coch-
ran, Hale, Hockey, Lamb and Lub-
bock-have a total population of
twenty-five souls, and not a woman
among them. This is at the rate of
a county to every four persons. and
a quarter. This must be the new
country from which a settler wrote
back to an old friend in the states
that che rather liked the situation,
and that all it lacked was society
and water" The old friend wrote
back: eyes, and that is all they
want down in that other hot coun-

New York sun, 2sth.
The Rev. w. T. Hatfield preached
in the Washington Square M. E..
/ Church last evening upon Influence
of Sensational Books and Papers
upon the Young" In the course of
his sermon the minister exhibited
an illustrated sheet that had been
handed to him, and said
"Hear the nature of the advertise
ments in this paper. Here are the
| titles of some dime books: How to
Flirt, How to become Rich, Red
| Wolf the Pirate, The Black Broth
ers. Here are the titles of some
fve-cent books for boys and girls

The young ladies expect to marry |
SOME stylish and wealthy young |
officer A book or newspaper that |
breeds such dreams and hopes is 3
foe to mankind. Boys and girls are
likely to initiate the real or imagin-
airy charactes that captivate their
hearts. Pictures in our homes have
as much influence in education as
books. / once knew a minister to
whom woman once applied, saying
that she was much distressed about
her sons. They all showed a ten
dency to go to sea. 1t was discov-
cred by the minister subsequently,
that the house in which she lived
was full of pictures of vessels and
marine views.

Crop Changes.

Some recently published statistics show
the difference in value of the different farm
products of Massachusetts in 1S45, and a.
gain in 1875. From these, it appears that
the value of the corn crop had decreased, in
thirty years, $350,000. Rye, oats, wheat,
barley and broom-corn, and sheep and wool
also, show a large decrease; but the value of
horses, cattle swine, poultry and eggs, but
ter, milk, hay, tobacco, potatoes. apples,
pears, garden vegetables and berries, has in
creased. The decrease foots up 81 ,248, 900;
the increase 100000. This proves what
has long been generally known, that there
has been steady change from general to
special farming in Massachusetts, and the
same is true of our own State. In the face
of Western competition, it no longer pays to
grow wheat and corn for market, but upon
the lands formely devoted to them are raised
hundreds of mechanics, merchants, pro-
fessional men and day laborers who con-
stitute the population of our cities and vii
lagos Without these classes for customers
profitable farming would not be possible in
any New England State; and this is a fact
which deserves to be kept in mind, especially
when any demagogue breaches the doctrine
that it is for farmers interest to oppose, or in
any way discourage, the development of our
manufacturing resources.-M and Far

Fowls in Orchards,

Last fall we visited an orchard in which
fowls were kept, the owner of which told US
that before the fowls were confined in it the
trees made little or no growth, and only a
corresponding amount Of fruit was obtained
But what change was evident now! The
grass was kept down, the weeds killed, and
the trees presented an appearance of thrift,
which the most enthusiastic horticulturist
could but admire and envy. The growth of
the trees was most vigorous, and the foliage
remarkably luxuriant; the fruit was abund-
ant, of large size, and free from worms and
other imperfections. The excellence was ac-
counted for by the proprietor, who remarked
that the hens ate all the worms and curculio
in their reach, even to the canker worm
He found less trouble with their roosting in
trees than he expected, and that picket
fence six feet high kept them within bonds
His orchard was divided into three sections,
and fowls were changed from one to an
other, as the condition of the fowls or the
orchard section seemed to require.
