Take care OF the Colts.

In raising colts il is very essential
always to maintain q very keen
relish for food and sharp appetite in
the young animal. This can only be
done by strictly guarding against
overlooking with grain. For five
months old foal of about medium
size, if the weather be moderate,
about one and half pints of oats at
a meal will be sufficient. Later, and
with the advent of cold weather,
one quart at each meal may be fed,
with as much corn as could be
shelled from q single ear. When
the colt gets little older, give it the
corn upon the ear, the Smelling of
which will afford him amusement.
Have warm quarters in cool wealth
or, and have them kept clean and
we'll ventilated. Turn the animal
out to run during the warmest part
Of the winters day for exercise.
Provide the colt with q generous
supply of dry bedding. Allow no
manure to remain day in the colts
box or stall, always keeping the floor
clean and well lighted. Accustom
the young animal to be fearless and
have full confidence nyou and your
actions

Adding Votes 40 the Cause.

The speech of Hon. John Ireland
last night at Craddock's opera house
was worthy of the man. He took
grounds and expressed views in full
accord with the progressive spirit OF
the day. His liberal and just position
on free public schools, railroads
and other state questions, were in
harmony with all that could be
wished by those having sincerely at
heart the true welfare of the state
The evident integrity and the earn
estness of the man produced an ex'
cellent effect upon all those who
heard him, and he has added votes
to the cause by his manly and able
effort

element in every population which
lives only by labor. If high taxes
could make laboring men prosper
GUS, our iaboring classes ought to
Lave been peculiarly prosperous
during the war and for several years
after its close. But the fact was
precisely the other way. Wages, in
deed, were high; but the enormous
tribute in the shape of excise and
protective tariffs, added to a depre-
ciated currency, diminished the pur-
chasing power of wages and caused
them to melt away in the laborer's
pocket before they had purchased
the supplies of shelter, fuel, food and
clothing he required.
Wages are not made high in this
country and cannot be by taxing
the imports from other countries
which we have need of. The price
of labor is not to be fixed by acts of
congress any more than the price of
bread Is. 1t may be affected by acts
of congress, but only in an injurious
way. Wages are and must remain
higher in this country, not because
protective tariffs attempt to make
them so, but because this is new
country, from whose virgin soil a
man can extract q greater product
than one man can extract from the
soil of any other country. With us
agriculture is the basis of all indus
try and all wealth, and the product
which one mans labor can extract
from our cheap and fertile
soil is the measure of wages
in all other industries. A very
simple fact proves this. When
crops and the prices. obtained tor
them are good, the wage rate in all
manufacturing vocations is high.
When crops are poor and the farm
er's labor has yielded him little or
nothing, the wage rate in all indus
trial vOcations is cut down to con-
form to the unfortunate condition.
No amount of protective taxation
will make the wage rate high when
things go wrong with the farmer /;
and absolute free trade itself would
not keep down the wage rate when
crops are abundant and prices good.
Taxes in any and all forms are
burden and disadvantage, and the
fewer of them a country imposes
the better for all classes of its peo-
ple.

1t is very hard to tell what 1t Is and
nobody, except the makers, knows what
it is made of but the results which 1t has
accomplished will speak for themselves
and also find many others to speak for 1t.
This prelude refers to Hepatizine, DR..
Tobin's great liver medicine, which is
working such marvellous resnlts in cur
ing complicated liver complaints of long
standing. Hepstizine contains no dele
terious drugs which impregnate the sys-
tenn with almost ineradicable traces OF
renewed danger. 1t is simple, containing
saline and vegetable materials, well
known for their curative properties, in a
most successful combination. Many
valuable testimonials have been Sc
cured from the grateful recipients OF
its healing effects, which are more
than usually valuable on account OF the
high standing Of the writers, and they
are particularly valuable here because
their authors are well known, and may
be questioned regarding the cures
wrought upon them. Among others, are
those given by Rev. DR.. Poindexter, Judge
Fillmore, Amos P. Foster, Richard Gil
dart, NJ. NJ. McInnis, j. NJ. Mcfarland,
VIM. Brueggerhoff, II. G. French, and
many others well known here in Austin.

One of the latest bulletins of the
census department contains q large
amount of valuable information on
the subject of wood as fuel, and this.
like all its professors on the lumber
question, shows the superiority of
the timber of the south. Previous
bulletins have demonstrated the fact
that the south possesses a large ma
jority OF the merchantable lumber of
the country; that it contains the
greatest variety and number of val
liable woods, like cypress, yellow
pine and sweet gum; 1t Is now
shown that it possesses the best fuel
wood IN the country. Accord
ing to table prepared by an
expert, Mr.. 5. p. Sharpless,
the best fuel wood in this
country is mountain mahogany
very scarce and growing only in very
high attitudes in the mountains of
California. Next comes the famous
southern or yellow pine, whose fuel
value, estimated either by cubic con-
tents or by weight. as they measure
wood in the north, is far ahead of
any other wood in America. Such
is the excellent reputation of this
pine, not only for lumber, but for
fuel, that 1t is now being extensively
imported into New England. Owing
to its scarcity there, it Is still mainly
used for kindling; but Mr.. Sbarpless
shows that, Notwithstanding a vulgar
error, it is by long odds the best
wood In America not only for kind
ling, but for general heating purposes.

Care OF Plants in winter.

All roots of ornamental and flow
ering plants that are kept dry over
the winter should be thoroughly
rlpened during the autumn. If frost
overtakes them they should be dug
up with earth adhering to them and
placed in light cellar, or otker place
secure from frost to thoroughly
ripen up and dry. Then keep in q
cool, dry place until they are want
ed for starting in the spring. This
will apply to cannas, caladiums, dab
las, gladiolus, and all other plants
of that class.
TuberOses, begonias, and that class
requiring to be Kept simply dormant
for a time, should have the water
gradually withheld, in autumn, and
be gradually allowed to get dry
after the close of the Towering sea-
son. About February they may be
again started by shaking the soil
from the roots and reporting.
Tender shrubs, like tuchias, clean
der, orange, tender roses, and all
that class may successfully wintered
in light cellar that does not abso-
lutely freeze. They shoulu have but
little water, only sufficient to COM
pensate for the actual loss by evapo-
ration. In fact the soil should
always be kept dry rather than
moist, the moisture never approach
ing the state of wetness during the
winter rest.

The Laws Delay.
TRrenham Ranner1

The laws delay has been aptly
illustrated in murder case just dis.
posed of in Houston. A man was
arrested for a murder committed
four years ago. The man was tried
convicted and given ten years in the
penitentiary. He moved for a new
trial which was granted, the man
was released on bail and the case cou-
tinued from time TO time until called
the other day, when owing to
the absence of witnesses the
case was nolle prosecuted by the dis
trict attorney. What the merits OF
this case really were it is impossible
to say; at the first trial the man was
convicted and sentenced to ten years
in the penitentiary. From this il
would seem that there was strong
grounds to believe that he was
guilty., but after four years delay the
states witnesses have all disappear
ed, and however guilty the man in
reality may be he now escapes
scot free. Could any stronger argu-
ment be adduced in favor of speedy
trials?

1t was generally thought in years
gone by that the bees disgorged
their wax from the mouth, and Rea-
maur certainly held this opinion,
but John Hunter discovered the
manner in which the wax was
formed. and it is now evident that
the bees carry within themselves
this important building. The seq
ments of the abdomen of the bees
overlap from before backwards, but
when the margin of one is lifted up
two broad and smooth surfaces will
be noticed on the uncovered surface
of the next wing; these surfaces
maintain, during one part of the
part of the year, two thin, white
and almost transparent lamena,
which are really composed of wax.
The wax is really secreted by some
small glands which are within the
abdomen, and it translates through
the soft and smooth integument be-
tween the rings or segments. 1t
would appear that the sugary mat
tiers which are sucked and digested
by the bees are TO a great extent
transformed into wax, which is to
all intents and purposes sort OF fat.
Wax is really the animal fat of the
bees, to produce which requires q
considerable consumption of honey
to supply the necessary drain on the
sVstem

BESIDES the gains that are made
in Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York,
Indiana, Wisconsin, Kansas, and
Massachusetts,, let il be borne in
mind that Virginia is to be redeem
ed from her degradation. We be-
lieve she will once more take her
stand in the ranks of Democratic
states. The Repudiationists are lit

the factional spirit, encouraged in

eel as largely contributing toward

Taxes and wages.
Ist. Louis Republican,


The most grotesque of all econom-
ical absurdities is the theory that the
laboring classes of country can be
benefited by imposing unnecessary
taxes on them. Certain taxes are
necessary for the support of govern
ment, and these have to be SUBJ
mitted to. But when taxation goes
beyond this and, in addition, exacts
tribute from the people for the ben
eft of favored classes, it not only
violates the principles of social or
der, but violates the laws of econ
omy as well. High taxes make the
cost of living high, and this Is a
special disadvantage to those who
live on labor wages. A city where
large debt, heavy losses, or ex-
travagant administration necessi-
tate high taxes, cannot be prosper
Gus in comparison with its neigh
bors, for its high taxes are reflected
ON the cost of everything il pro-
duces and in its methods of business
land both capital and labor will
avoid it in favor of other places
Were the cost of living is lower
neep living is indispensable to the
comfort and well-being OF that large

Frozen Meats.

The transportation of slaughtered
beef to the place OF consumption is
likely to grow as an industry, and
threatens, in the near future, to SUI
persede the transportation of beef
on the hoof to markets. 1t is said to
be cheaper to buy the cattle on the
range, and there slaughter them and
send the carcasses to market than
the cattle themselves. Refrigerator
cars have been so perfected as to in
sure the transportation of the meat
securely and sound. The industry
ofthis character growing up between
England and her Australian posses
sions warrants the belief that Ameri-
can meat will have to be killed in
America and shipped by car and re-
frigerating vessels TO England to
compete with the Australian sup
ply. Illustrative of the magnitude
of this business now going
on between Australia and
England, it can be said that
among the late arrivals at Liverpool
was a vessel of 600 tons, which
brought large cargo of fresh meat
from New Zealand. She had on
board 1000 carcasses of sheep, weigh
ing from ninety to 100 pounds, to-
gether with poultry, fish and fruit in
large quantities. The passage was
by no means rapid one, as she made
a voyage of 102 days. Off the Afri-
can coast she met with the very hot
test of weather, and for some weeks
the temperature was $40 Fahren-
helt in the shade. with 1929 in the
sun. To sustain a temperature of
1So below the freezing point the re-
trigerating apparatus was run by an
engine of seventy-hOrse power,
placed in the hold, with capabilities
of producing a temperature OF
600 below the freezing point.
The expenditure of coal was
$500 weight every twenty-four
hours, and the total consumption
on the trip was $50 tons. The
method OF packing the mutton was
the same as Is used Tor beef sent
from New York-suspending the
carcasses from the beams of the ship,
and wrapping them up in some cheap
textile material. Certainly the cold
produced, Is degrees below the
freezing point, was many degrees
more than is necessary, and the COIL
dition of the cargo would have been
improved if few degrees above the
freezing point had been used. be-

ture mechanically disintegrates the

was obtained, the wholesale price
was I'd. pound. Ifnot to-day, Ger.
tainly in the future, a great deal of
the meat used in England and
France will be supplied from Aus
tralia and New Zealand. The whole
scheme of this food supply is to-day
simply one of mechanical detail.

CONGRESSMAN SPRINGER, of Illi-
nois, has figured the matter all out,
and fixed the Democratic majority
in the next house at thirty-nine. He
divides the New York and Pennsyl-
vania delegation evenly between the
Democrats and Republicans, gives
the former nine and the latter eight
of the Illinois delegation, and classes
the other districts in that state as
doubtful, and so on to the end. He
claims that he is modest in not put
ting the Democratic majority higher,
and thinks he would be justified in
putting it at one hundred.

Republican congressmen-elect In
Ohio amount to only sixty-two.
Morey, in the seventh district, has

Mckinley in the eighteenth, has
eight majority. If Mcclure. in the
twentieth, and Schultz, in the third

Local issues had no effect in the re-
