OntmeaI for Food.

The appetite often Graves food which
the stomach rejects, but long period
Of forcing enables it to receive il under
protest. Nor is it the quantity of food
that is nourishing, but the quality. A
pound of choice meat at thirty cents is
worth M much for nutriment as two
pounds of interior meat ut ten cents.
An egg il one of the IN ri nutritious
articles OF diet that can be put on the
table, and the less it is cooked the more
valuable its digestive and assimilating
properties. Since oatmeal has become

four to twenty-four cents n pound, nc

Smnller Farms In the SonIh.

The process OF subdividing the large
plant ltions into smaller farms is going
on steadily in the South, even in the
States where the old system had taken
the deepest hold. The Woodworking
farmer, who follows the pillow himself, is
gradually crowding out the luxurious
planter, who, in the ante-bellnm days,
scarcely took the tronble to direct the
operations OF his laborers. I'm Mississ-

Why so Many Failures in Texas!

1t is very popular just now to say that

labor, and we defy any one TO produce

A correspondent Of the Hamilton
Freeman gives some good advice ON
this subject as follows: "As the West.
ern and Middle States lose annually
several million bushels of corn by
planting worthless seed, and as the pro-
per time to gather the seed is being
discussed through agricultural papers,
many contending that husking time is
the time to select the seed. But | must
differ with those who rccommend gather
ing seed corn after we have had our
heavy Tor corn-killing) full irosts. A
sure way to have good seed corn is to
so into your cornfield when the husk
begins TO ripen on the en- hest ears, and
select the ripest and fairest cars, and
by pursuing this course improvement in
quality and time of ripening with be
the result. If it is picked before the
cob is dry it should not be piled up in
IL heap to heat and spoil. Corn that has
been heated will not germinate. Leave
few husks to each ear, aud either tie
.or braid them together and hang Thorn
in the loft of your barn, or other ont
buildings, or m IKE scailold and lay
small sticks OF lath to hold the corn,
aud don't lay too close, so that the air

about yoHr seed com. Your loft must

until the cob is thoroughly dried AS
soon as the corn is ont OF the milk it

know by experimenting with large Ohio
and Missouri corn. If it is not thor

Wheat.

1t is defiicult in the present day to
realize the fact that wheat was at one
time unknow in America; yet prior to
the discovery OF this continent by Co.
lumbus there was no cereal in America
approaching in nature to the wheat
plant. II was not until 1890 that ;s=hc...
found its way into Mexico, and then
only by chance. A slave OF Cortez found
II few grains OF wheat in parcel OF
rice and then showed them to his mas
ter, who ordered them to be planted.
The result showed that wheat would
thrive well on Mexican soil. and to-day
one Of the finest wheat fields in the
world is near the Mexican capital.
From Mexico the cereal found its way
to Peru. Marie D'Escobar, wife OF
Don Diego de Chuaves, carried a few
grains TO Lima, which were planted, the
entire product being used for seed for
several successive crops. AT nni4a.
