The Austin weekly statesman. (Austin, Tex.) 1883-1898, 1884-06-19

BILE to teach system Of morals in
manner to indicate moral principle,
without teaching eligious principle
and duty. In order that the poor
might be provided with public school
instruction, protestant denominations
have consented to support the system,
undertaking to instruct their children
religiously and morally, at home and
in their UNCONVENTIONAL colleges. 1t
will be observed that the leading de-
nominations as to numbers, methodists
and baptists have redoubled their eff
forts, and their success, in establish
ing UNCONVENTIONAL colleges, since
giving up primary instruction to the
state. 1t is their hope, to religiously
instruct their youth of both sexes, IN
these colleges after they have compile
ted their common public school course.
When they have finished this college
course, embracing both intellectual
and moral training, their parents are
willing then to allow them to become
university students, and certainly bet
ter material could not be desired. If
the state shall establish colleges or
schools of like grade throughout the
state, it will have the effect to destroy
these colleges and add the protestant
to the catholic opposition to the en-
tire public school system, and thus
endanger the success of the whole
The cities may, with propriety, raise
their course of instruction to the low.

The Oleander.

The oleander is favorite in and out
door plant, priced for its flowers,
usually of red orrose color, The shrub
belongs to the dog-bane family, and is
poisonous. A guinea-pig keeping boy
gave to his pets leaves and twigs cut
from the oleander plant. The pigs
died in commissions, also in great agony,
apparently. We can testify to the fact.
Nevertheless, the oleander~ flower is
beautiful, and worth the culture be-
slowed upon it. There are many. va
rieties-double dark purple, double
yermillion, cherry crimson, white, pale
yellow and pale sulphur, as to color Of
flowers. The oleander is found in the
Leyant and in some parts Of Palestine.
In Florida 1T grows in hedges and
groves. and attains the height Of TWEEN
ty-fve to thirty feet. Galveston is
called the "Oleander City" on account
of the abundant growth Of the oleander.
When the plant has grown to the height
Of eight or ten inches it should be cut
back to the second or third joint, and
these should be cut back after they
have attained sufficient growth. The
bush will be thick in foliage, and flow
er abundantly. The plant requires
much moisture. Slips placed in "a
bottle Of salt water, and keptin a sunny
window, will put forth roots, and be
ready soon for the pot.

estimated at 12O, 900, 900 bushels.
Rotten chips Or sawdust are good for
lettuce and radishes, and if top dress
ing is given where these are to be sown
a decided improvement in the crop will
follow. Night soil can be utilized to
good advantage by applying it between
the rows and hoeing in.
Grasshoppers have nearly ruined the
Mexican grain crop. After all, the un-
ususlly cold weather of this country
during the early Summer may have been
a blessing in disguise, in that it check
ed the breeding Of pets similar to those
now impoverishing the farmers Of our
sister republic.
Common barrel salt is nearly ali pure
salt, though traces of other minerals
exist. Fertilizing salt is prepared from
the refuse salt of salt works, and con-
tains the oxide Of iron, potash, gypsum,
su1phate and carbonate of lime, and
grease, with which is mixed lime and
wood ashes (all fertilizing materials)
ground fine and mixed by machinery.
It is unfit for any other purpose but
fertilizing, and is sold either in bulk or
in 2oo-pound sacks, though any quanti-
ty may be procured that may be desired.

millions of Dollars in the Treasury
Await Owners.

A curious fact shown by the
United States Treasury's balance
sheet at the close of this years business
is that there is nearly $4,000, 900 of
outstanding Government securities on
which the money is due and uncallal for,
writes the Washington correspondent
of the Louisville Commercial. On ali
these interest has been closed, and
there can be no possible reasons for the
holders to delay presenting them for
redemption. Some of them have been
due for many years. On some of them
there are due large sums OF interest,
which have not been called for, so that
the interest on these alone amounts to
$347 900. What has become of these
documents and why they are not pre-
sented is something no one can find out.
Some Of them matured half century
ago, and are still unlleard from and un-
presented.
OF the old debt, which rnatured prior
to Jan. l, 1887, there is still outstand-
ing $57 ,G65 Of principal and. $64, ia Of
interest. Of the Texan indemnity stock,
which matured twenty years ago, there
are $40, 1000 yet outstanding not pre-
sented. OF the 5-20s of '62, which ma
tured more than ten wears ago, and on
which interest ceased at that time, there
is still outstanding 1885,, 25O. OF the
10-40s Of ga, which MANFRED five years
ago, there is yet unpreseDted SITE, $50,
with interest of Sic, 400 also due and
unpaid. Of the six per cent consols,
which matured two years earlier, there
is $276, 800 yet unpresented, and of tho
six per cent. consols r1atured in 1879
there is over half s, million dollars yet
uncalled for, WITH interest maSured,
$56, 800.
OF the per cents, which matured in
1882, there is still nearly $500 900
unpresented, though the interest ceased
at maturity. OF the compound Interest
notes Of 1864, which bear s per cent.
interest and which Iaatured in 1856 and
1868, over 5000, 900 are still outaDd I'M
called for, while at the 7-30s Of the
same year, which matured more than
fifteen years ago, S133, 500 has never yet
been called for, nor has some SIG, Geo of
interest ON them been demanded What
has become of these bonds, which rep
resent SO much money, is hard 10 under
stand.
Some Of them have probably been de-
stroyed, perhaps the majority Of them,
though it is proper to add that the bulk
OF the SIS, 600, 600 due and unpresanted
is OF that which has fallen due within
the past year, ard which will doubtless
be presented when the well fed and
leisurely coupon clippers realize that
there are no more coupons to be clipped
upon them, or that. if so clipped. they
will not be honored because Of the fact
the bonds have been called. There are,
however, large sums which have been
due many years, and have not been paid
simply because sslley have not been pre-
sented Some Of these have doubtless
been lost by fire and flood. others laid
away as permanent Investments Of soma
fund, OF perhaps fo1g ottenin some dusty
safe or mouldy pig con hole. Why OF
how it IS that such large sums are still
outstanding and liable to continue so, is
not even within the comprehension Of
the most experienced treasury Official to
answer.

varying success in at lea st forty cases.
He uses the drug dissolved in olive oil,
cosmoline, OF glycerine, in the strength
Of from ten to twenty drops Of bromine
to the ounce of oil, and rubs the mix
ture gently on the effected parts three
or four times day. The bromine is SO
volatile shat the solution should be re-
newed every twenty-four hours. The
eruption never extends after the first
thorough application, and it promptly
disappears within twenty four hours if
the application is persisted in.

NY Experience with nolsteins.

NY Experiences With Ho1stein1.
hfr. John Mitchell Of Orange county,
n. y, gives his experience with these
cattle in the columns Of the Country
Gentleman M
Ny first purchase Of a Ho1ste;n was
attended By many mlsgivings. II had
been brought mp with Ayrshires ii
their native land, and always regarded
them as the best for general dairy pnr-
poses. I3had read Of Holsteins, and had
seen number OF them at fairs, but CON
ssidered their records as exaggerations.
My venture was most convincing, to me
at feast, for soon after calying, my COW
easily surpassed the record claimed for
her at the time of purchase, and BY
actual test gave more than the two
best young graded cows in nay dairy,
her yield being 16,076 lbs. for the
year, from two milkings a day. She
repeated the next season with Ia, 195 lbs.
to her credit, with only ordinary care,
proving herself remarkable butter am
i,nal, two days milk at height Of flow
producing six pounds, eight ounces Of
butter. In 1880 and 81 my entire herd
of six, comprising one COW, two three
year-old heifers, two two-year- olds and
one which calved at twenty one months
old were n1ilked twice day, and with
out any grain during the summer season
averaged S,605 lbs. per head for the
year. In 1882 and 'S3 my entire herd
OF twelve, (only two Of which were four
years old and seven were under three
years old, with the same treatment av-
eraged S,2l3 lbs. per head.
1 have more than twenty now in milk,
which began their records in 1883, and
have only one complete record to show,
and that a heifer of the Aaggie family,
which calved in February, 1888, just out
of quarantine, and calved again January
81. 1884, not going dry at all. She
scored 9,156 lbs. for the first season in
America. When the herd records are
completed, I expect to show an average
of between $500 and 10000 lbs. per
head for the year and only two were
over four years old at the beginning OF
their present record. These two Will
complete their fourth year in milk in
May and june next. Their first three
years show averages of 1893 lbs, and
1881 lbs. per annum, respectively, and
the completion Of their fourth year will
increase the average considerably. I
believe it to be quite within the mark to
expect from herds of matured animals
an average in excess of 5000 quarts of
milk per annum. When bred on the
farm and properly fed and handled still
greater results may be looked for.
! have step by step discarded all
grades of every kind substituting thor
oughbred Holsteins, and have yet to be
disappointed either with the quantity
or quality OF their product. I
have bottled and sold Holstein milk
for the last three years, and have met
with gratifying success. Notwithstand-
ing great competition, I have always
obtained the highest market price, and
find the demand for it much greater
than can supply.

Melons, to Preserve.

Medium sized melons are better than
very Large ones for preserving, and they
should not be over-ripe. Peel them
and press the juice from the pulp and
seeds, which should be taken from the
melons with silver spoon, wash the
melons after this, and add the water in
which they have been washed to the
juice obtained from the pulp and seeds.
The melons should be cut lengthwise
into eight pieces, if possible using a
silver knife: allow them to soak day
and night in cold water with little
salt and vinegar, in the proportion of a
teaspooful of salt and two OF white vine
gar to half gallon of water, throwing
a clean cloth over during the time to
keep out the dust. In the meantime
prepare a syrup with the juice from the
pulp and seeds, boiling pound of good
loaf sugar for Is minutes to every half
pint OF the juice, and then letting it stand
to become cold. After the pieces of mel
on have soaked for "a hours.-care be-
ing taken that they have been quite IN
der the water all the time-place them
in preserving pan, and add the cold
syrup as prepared; set it On the fire,
and, after it comes to a boil, let it sim
mer for about quarter of an hour,
skimming it during the time; then re-
move the slices of melon into bowl,
taking care not to break them and
pour the syrup over them. For three
successive days pour off the syrup, give
it a boil up and pour it over again; on
the third day place the slices Of melon
in wide-mouthed bottles, adding some
bruised ginger to each; fill the bottles
with the hot syrup, let them remain
until cold, and then tie tightly down
with bIadder.=N. Y. Tribune.

Cleanliness is one Of the precautions;
