IMPERIAL TEXAs.-The grand
proportions of Texas with its vari-
ed resources has been the fruitful
theme of many an enthusiastic pen
but while the tatement that
Texas is greater than all new Eng
land, New York, Pennsylvania,
West Virginia, Ohio, and Indiana,
is astounding, it is yet less compre-
hensive than the demonstrations
that l propose to make, and which
l have never seen in print. The
sense of sight being one of the cas-
lest for sdemonstrative purposes,
propose TO use it to show the gran
deur of Texas, that merits the name
of imperial if New York deserves
to be called the excelsior" The
state of Texas, while not exactly
square, is nearly so, there being lit
tie difference between its length and
breadth, in which it is not unlike
California, Nevada, Louisiana, OIL
Florida.
Now for the sake of illustration
and clear demonstration of the i'm
mensity ofTexas, take string and
stretch it from the northwestern
corner of Cameron county and you
will have the greatest distance
across the state. Put this string at
Texarkana and the other end will
reach beyond Chicago, Indianapolis,

Bleaching Shells,

Having been asked often for the
process of bleaching shells, 1 beg to
give it through the CITIZEN to ben
eft those who may desire to test it,
and 1 hope save them from needless
expense, time lost, vexation and
disappointment that was mine in
my efforts to succeed. Select for
the purpose thick, heavy, white
shells, say two bushels. Put ten
gallons of water into kettle, and
half 8 peck of unslaked lime. Dis
solve a box of concentrated I've in
another vessel of Water-small guam
tity of hot water-and add half to
the contents of the kettle. Put
your shells in and boil in good
earnest for two hours, or longer, add
ing water and I've, if necessary,
Take the shells out, throw them
into boiling water, keep them hot;
handle with tongs and knock the
roughness from the backs with q
case knife. Follow the directions,
and you will be repaid in shells that
rival the opal in their rainbow tints.
"How SIMPLEX yes, quite simple!
But the courtiers of Ferdinand and
Isabella's court could not make the
egg stand on end until Columbus
let them into the secret, which was
more simple and not so useful as the
knowledge of bleaching shells.

The Rev. Mr.. Jones, in one of his
sermons recently, gave his defini-
ton of the "german." He said it
was ''hugging set to music"
We would like to hear the great
preacher or a habit which some of
our young people have fallen into,
and which the press has done its
best on. Most of our young people
who read the papers abandoned the
habit, but still there are some who
have never found out that it is in
bad taste.
These young people mostly at
tend the services of Mr.. Jones at
the tent, and if he would mention it
at all that class that do not read
would find out that it has sbeen
condemned, and as Brother Jones
seems to be in the business of
slightly touching off bad habits,
this would not be out of place.
Of course we refer to the practice
among uncultivated young people
of young man walking the street
with a young lady and holding her
up by the arm. 1t is an exhibition
of familiarity which is by no means
slightly, and is said to have origina-
led in case of necessity, when the
fair one actually needed holding up.
Will Brother Jones please help us
to get clear of this very unsightly
habit? The practice is undulged
in by many well meaning young
people. they simply don't know
any better.-Union.

WARY Women.

There is nothing more reprehen-
sible and thoroughly wrong, than
the idea that woman fulfils her
duty by doing an amount Of work
beyond her strength. She does not
only rot fulfill her duty, but she
most signally fails IN it.
There can be no sadder sight
than that of broken down, over
worked wife and mother-a woman
who is tired all her life through,
If the work of the household can
not be accomplished by order, sys-
tenn and moderate work, without
the necessity of wearing, heart
breaking toil-toil that is never
ended and never begun, without
making life a treadmill of labor,
then, for the sake. of humanity, let
the work 90. Better to live in the
midst of disorder than that order
should be purchased at SO
high q price-the cost of health,
and strength, and happiness, and
all that makes existence endurable.
The woman who spends her life
in unnecessary labor is untitled for
the highest duties Of home. She
should be the haven of rest to
which both husband and children
turn for peace and refreshment.
She would be the careful intelligent
adviser and guide Of the one, the
tender confdant and hel pmate OF
the other.
How is it possible for a woman,
exhausted in body, as a natural
consequence in mind, also, to per
form either of these offices? No, ii
is not possible. The constant
strain is great. Nature gives way
beneath it. She loses health, and
spirits, and hopefulness, and, more
than all, her youth-the last thing
a woman should allow to slip from
her, for, no matter how old she is in
years,she should be younger in heart
and feeling, for the youth of age is
something more attractive than
youth itself.
To the over worked woman this
green old age is out Of the question
old age comes on, sere and yellow,
before it's time. Her disposition is
ruined, her temper is soured, her
very nature is changed by the bur
den, which too heavy to carry, is
dragged along as wearied feet and
tired hands can do their part.
Even her affections are blunted,
and she becomes merely a machine
"A woman without the time to be
womanly, a mother without the
time TO train and guide her chill
dren as only a mother cana wife
without the time to sympathize
with and cheer her husband so
over worked during the day, that
when night comes, her sole thought,
the most intense longing, is
for rest and sleep, that very proba-
bly, will not come; and, even if it
should, she is too tired to enjoy.
Better far let everything go IN
finished, to live as best she can,
than to entail on herself and family
the curse of ver-work.-Ex.

Characteristics Of Ameri-

America Ahead ocular
characteristics Of Ameri-
cans The Evils and How
Restored.
In this age of hustle and hurry, an age
devoted to great projects and enterprises,
the American people are taking the lead
in the furtherance of noble works, and in
the advancement of the sciences and arts.
In these they deserve to take 4 high rank,
and through the united works of millions,
the American continent IS fast being
transformed from its unframed state and
being placed on an equality with the older
continents beyond the ocean. The Amer
lean people are fast, under these influences,
developing into q nervous, energetic race,
remarkable for its vim and business quail
ficationss yet there is danger that in the
course of years these very elements may
combine to the ruination of the physical
character of the people, and leave them
feeble and altogether different from their
forefathers. General debility is now much
more common than formerly, and seems
to be on the increase among the masses.
advertised for this widespread complaint,
but none of these have been so successful
or met with such general favor as the
remedy manufactured by DR.. S. 3. Hart
man, and named by him PERUNA.
Mr.. S. Cloudy, of Massillon, Stark
county, Ohio, writes: That he has been
troubled with general debility and dysPeP-
STA for several years that he was induced
to try PERUNA for his complaints, and
that after using three bottles Of the medi
cine he was greatly relieved. 1t braced
him right up and gave him energy, and
restored him to his youthful vigor. He
ascribcs his cure to PERUNA, and says II
is a wonderful remedy.
Adolph Bakhaus s. Co, Springfield, o.
writes D.: " We are having good sale for
PERUNA. It sells as well as any medicine
we have, and gives the very best satistac-
ton"
Mrs. G. w. Needharn, Newtonville,
Clermont County, Ohio, says: " have
been a great sufferer for the last six or
seven years, with general debility and
change of life. 1 was very much reduced.
Ihave taken four bottles of PEEUNA. which
has restored me to perfect health and
strength. We think PERUNA a safe and
grand medicine"

Small Industries,

Growing and ambitious young
cities make strenuous and expen-
sive efforts to secure big mills and
factories, and pay small attention
to small concerns. If this might
be reversed, if the rule of "care for
the pennies and let the pounds
care for themselves" were more ap-
piled in the matter of encouraging
manufactures and commerce, the
towns really deserving to become
industrial centers would grow much
faster.
Canton, Ohio, is a notable ia
stance of a village grown to city
pretensions and dimensions in a
few years, on widely diversified and
chiefly small enterprises. A short
time since and the place was known
only as the site of the great c..
Aultman Agricultural Machine
Works. Now its name is familiar
in all the village shops of the north
west as the place where three hun
dred and upwards of articles of
utility are produced fer the use of
harnessmakers, machinists. car
riagemakers, blacksmiths, shoema-
kers, farmers, store-keepers, etc.
But for her small concerns Canton
would soon be half depoPulated,
and then become one Of the least
satisfactory places for merchants
and all other middlemen to do bus
mess in. All large concerns run
full part Of the year, and either
slack off very much or practically
close the balance of the time. Their
hands must be "carried'by the gro
Ger, drygoods shopman, tho pur-
veyers of all supplies for the house
hold. Not so with the little affairs
working from one to twenty hands.
They go the year round. If one
fails it don't leave much of a hole
or hurt anybody much; and they
never stay idle long. It's easy to
find some one with money enough
to run along @ small shop, and
presently the right man gets into
it, expands it and makes a big and
permanent thing of it.
The next best thing to widely
diversifying a towns industries is
to interest as many in the stock of
larger undertakings as possible.
This last should be the policy of
all who plant manufacturing on
any considerable scale in a town or
city. 1t gives the establishment a
local good will and interest moth
ing else can bring; and whenever a
manufacturer finds himself in a city
that will "take no stock" with him
he will consult the safety of
his capital by looking elsewhere for
a location.-The Tradesman.
Pulaski might be built up in this
way, and our only hope lies in this
method. Can we not bestir our
selves in some way and get up
an interest ard action before
we dry up entirely.
The Pulaski citizen. [volume] (Pulaski, Tenn.) 1866-current, 1885-05-21
THE DAIRY

Not one cow should be
retained in the dairy herd or on the
farm that has not some excellent
quality as q recommendation for
her retention.
The Dairyman says it is open
question whether yellow skin in
cows indicate yellow milk. 1t says
white butter is not usual, however,
from yellow milk.
More dairymen than ever will
prepare to feed their dairy stock
ensilage another winter; and those
who do not, in the slight OF
present information on the subject,
will make a mistake.
Submerging the milk to secure
the better rising of the cream is
practiced in some dairies; but
whether or not the extra expense of
securing air tight vessels will not
over-balance the beneficial results is
a question of some doubt.
If profit is expected from the
dairy COWS during the first few
weeks of tender grass, the grain ra-
tiODs must not be slackened. There
is not much strength in the grass
at first, and a COW that has been fed
grain heavily all winter will feel
the need of it still when first turned
out.
In sailing butter,One ounce to the
pound is generally what is used.
Butter should be exposed as little
as possible to the air from the
time it is churned until packed
tightly in tubs, fit for market.
Care aheuld be taken never to over
work butter, as the grain and tex
ture should be preserved. This
point should never be lost sight of.
Dairy farming may be made the
means of greatly improving the
land; and it is advocated by some
to carry on dairying and grain rails
ing on the same farm, as a means
of making each more profitable.
Feeding the grain to the cows and
putting the manure on the land in
tended for the ensuing crop will in
crease the fertility of the soil, and
in this way furnish grain more
cheaply fer keeping the dairy to
best advantage.
In packing butter for market use
hard wood tubs, either oak or ash,
and pack the butter in very solidly,
as to leave no holes, as they give
the butter bad appearance. The
butter most in favor in manys mar
kets is of clear golden color; and
especially should very white butter
be avoided, as it rarely meets with
such favor in the markets. In re-
ality, it is just as easy to make yell
low butter as any other kind.-Na-
tiOnal Stockman.
The Pulaski citizen. [volume] (Pulaski, Tenn.) 1866-current, 1885-05-21

satisfaction in this at least-that
these animals, even if they do not
attain such heavy weight, do not
cost so much to raise as the larger,
rougher and necessarily more hardy
kept animals.
Panics and low prices have one
good effect at least. They teach us
that although q living may be made
from our stock and poor slovenly
methods of farming in good times,
in seasons of depression it cannot
be done; and that it is always best
to be prepared for these emergen-
cies in times of plenty. Reckless
ness, and the avoidance OF the prin-
ciple of making the most out of ev-
erything which can be obtained by
the best methods, make the great
est success Impossible. In times
like the present no such policies
will do, but, on the contrary, they
will lead to financial embarrassment
and ruin. The most renowned fl
nanciers of the age only became such
by careful attention to the details
OF their business and seeing that
every operation in It's inception
assures a profit. In like manner
must the farmer give attention, not
only to planting and sowing and
the breeding of stock, but also to
the business aspect of all his opera
tions, and learn the relative differ.
ence between good stock and scrubs,
and between high and low farming
Scrub stock and poor crops may
give a Lare living in times of high
prices; but now the farmers who
raise such stock and such crops
find themselves grlevously Cypress
ed by the hard times, and that the
farm, the past year, has been CON
Quoted at positive loss. A hun
dred or two pounds difference in
the weight of each each steer may
decide the difference between profit
add loss. A pound more wool to
each head of the flock may turn the
balance sheet in favor of profit
Fifteen bushels of wheat to the
acre may pay the expense oil
growing the crop, while twenty
bushels would give a clear profit OF
five bushels, and ten bushels to the
acre would be growing the crop at
a positive loss of five bushels.
Here is range of ten bushels be-
tween actual profit and positive loss
in growing crop, which every far
mer should seek early and late to
overcome, and place his crop on the
profit side. So it should be in all
the operations Of the farm. Whath-
er in growing stock or in raising
crops, the farmer should know the
difference between what will give
profit or loss, and then make ex-
cellenee in stock and in crops
turn the balance always in favor of
profit.
