Norman j. Colman.

Agrleulturists throughout the country
are looking with interest to the action of
the new commissioner, who is supposed
10 De an Improvement upon his two inn
mediate predecessors. Commissioner lie
Due was ridicued from the start for his
want OF practical knowledge of agricul-
ture, though earnest and Industrious as
could be desired; and Commissioner LOr-
ing Rept the nation bowling and smiling in
expectation, while he policy turned the
ell -aut periods of indigestiJle theories.
In the new commissioner, Norman j. Col
IA Ian, we should have practical man, if
there is anything in personal experience,
and one who, In all probability, will be
able to lay aside any nobbyne may have,
or at least subordinate it u the general
good. Hailing from Southern though
Western State, and, as an editor, accus-
toned to investigation and to inquiries
into the needs OF all localities, he will
probably make better show in the South
than either of his predecessors.
In this connection the following from
the National StocknsGn will be found Of
INTEREST," "The Agricultural Department
cost the people of the United States the
sum OF 1898, 81 last year. OF this amount
chronological investigation cost $4,000;
investigating diseases of animals, S24,-
600; seeds for distribution $4,000; sala-
ries OF employees, $12S,0OO. OF the re-
mainder large part was absorbed in
printing 400, 600 copies of tae commission
er's report, book of over 800 pages. The
reports are distributed by members of
Congress and the department itself, the
latter using 10000, Senators 10000, and
Representatives 100000 copies. While
many Of these reports go into hands
where their contents are utilized, it is
probable that the bulk are simply stored
away by the recipients as rubbish. The
number Of packages of seeds sent outlast
year was 1862, I3S, a large proportion of
which have undoubtedly never been and
never will be planted. The department
does not cost any more than it should-in
fact larger appropriation could be used
to advantage-but the manner of using
these moneys could certainly be greatly
amended to the advantage of our agricul-
tural population. The Agricultural De-
partment can be and should be made a
vastly more useful institution than 1t is.
What steps will the new commissioner
take to increase its usefulness?'

limo.

1t may be used on light, thin land mod
erately, If the band IS fresh or has been
supplied with good coating Of yegeta-
bic manure; but it will do more harm
than good on old wornOut land without
the use also Of vegetable matter. Green
manuring may be Tesorted to in connec-
ton with the lime with great profit. The
lime must have something to work upon,
and where lands have been so long under
cultivation as to exhaust their vegetable
matter or humOr, there is nothing LETT for
the lime to do but TO fire and burn up
the growing crop. In green soiling there
Is, perhaps, nothing better than sowing
and blowing in field peas. Lime may he
spread upon the land in proportion to the
quantity Of vines turned under, and this
process may be repeated two or three
times during the summer, sowing peas
among the vines as they are plowed IN.
When no other fertilizers are obtainable
this method may be practiced aud the
poorest lands made rich and profitable

1t can be shown conelusiyely that
COW can be raised for less money than one
can be bought, and just rs certainly that
one can raise a better COW than he can
buy. This should be obvious at the first
thought, because no man will sell thing
even cow-tor less than it costs him,
and if one man can produce COW for
certain profit another man should; and
also when adairyman gives his mind to
the improvement of his stock Oy selecting
the best and breeding carefully, he cannot
fail to produce better COWS than another
man who only takes ordinary care-or,
let us say, exercises ordinary careless
ness-in raising his calves. A calf is to
considered and thought of and prepared
for before it is brought into the world, and
perhaps the most important part OF the
business of raising cows is that prelimi-
nary to the birth of cOw-its breeding,
in fact. But, If the stock is poor to be-
gin with, the produce will be poor; but if
one has but poor COWS, and will yet Sc
lect the best and take especial care with
the produce of these, he cannot fail to Ell
feet great Improvement IN course OF
time and with patience and persistence.
But how much time is saved by making a
good beglnning-and to begin well should
be the aim of every owner Ct cows. The
first step in the improvement Of diary
herd is the introduction of a good bull,
selected for its inherited qualities. Then
one has a foundation to build upon. The
raising of the calf should begin as soon
as it is embryo, and Is done through the
dam The dam should be well fed, kept
docile, and petted so that her disposition
may be gentle and friendly. Her milking
capacity should be encouraged in every
possible way, and extended to within
few weeks only, and not more than six at
the most, of the birth Of the calf. 1t is a
maxim among breeders that the dam con-
fers upon the constitutional pecularities
and the mental, or rather instructive
characteristics, while the sire gives the
form and other qualities.-Nel0 York
Times.

SAN DIEGO.
District Court-A Mexican Charged
With Assault.


Correspondence OF the Gazette.
SAN DIEGO, TEX, July l5.-The
court met yesterday morning at 8
o'clock pursuant to adjournment.
The first case taken up was the case
of the injunction from Starr county,
of Frank Myer ct al. W.. Crum & Bros.
ct 81, for damages growing out of a
contract made by Crum q Bros.
with the commissioners OF Starr coun-
ty to build Jail. The case took up all
day yesterday and has been well
argued on both sides. The attorney
for Crum IL Bros. is now addressing
the jury.
On Monday, just before court met,
there was complaint made before J..
w. Wright, Esq, the justi ce of the
peace of this precinct, of retty bad
cutting aflray by u half-crszy Mexica n 4,
named Benito Flores, alias Benito
Hernandez, who seriously cut another
Mexican, named Apolonio Her
nandez, and wounded slightly one or
two others at a fandango neld aU the
upper edge OF town, at ABOUT IL or
O'Clock last Saturday night. Benito
has been lodged in all and the com.
plant sent To the grand Jury. This
fellow has two or three times pre-
viously, in the last three or four years,
committed dangerous assaults, entirely
unprovoked, upon persons who have

ard Of sustaining strength. 1t was
known to the legislature that lime.
stone in the greatest abundance was to
be had In the vicinity OF Austin, and
that IL had been used in the construc-
ton of q splendid courthouse In that
city; hence the requirement that the
capitol should be built of accessible
stone, and hence the adoption OF Texas
stone as the standard.
Here are presented both sides OF the
question Of accessibility, at the same
price five cents per copy. The latter
editorial might, it is true, have been
made more complete by stating that
accessibility is not determined by dis.
lance, but facilities for transportation,
Bangkok, China, for instance, is more
accessible TO KeyWest than the interior
OF the everglades, just as New York is
more accessible to Austin than the
granite quarries OF Burnett county.
Perhaps the perplexltY Of und erstand-
ing the News may be in q measure
simplified by reducing its two edito-
rials to two simple propositions
one approving; the other con-
demning the action of the
capitol board. or course no one would
be 30 unreasonable as to expect the
News to agree with itself three weeks
in uccession-and thus the whole
matter becomes as clear as the waters
OF the placid L,eman.
In order, however, to avoid such
perplexities in the future. we suggest
that our esteemed contemporary bulle-
tin it's daily changes of opinion on this
AZ well as other subjects.

THE Bonham News doesn't under
stand why the syndicate consulted
with the capitol board about the adop-
tlon of Indiana Stone, IL there was no
law requiring the use OF Texas mate
rial. For the same reason that a man
under contract to build frame house
would ask the assent Of his principal
before substituting brick, If, for any
reason, 1t became necessary. Ordina-
rlly, of course, 1t would be cheerfully
granted but In this instance the
News, and those who believe with 1t,
would reject more decided improve
ment from motives OF Texas pride"

A Mexican Freighter Attacked by
Thieves-A Deadly Battle.

Special to the Gazette.
ABILENE Ten, July l7.--Intelli-
gence was received in this city this
morning of bloody encounter be-
tween some horse-thieves and Mex
lean freighter near Cedar Gap. 1t will
be remembered that a few days ago a
thief was shot while in the act Of steal
ing from Mexican in the same neigh
bOrhood. The thieves becom-
ing indignant over the result,
waylaid the Mexican who
shot their pal. A desperate
fight ensued, resulting in the death Of
one thief and one wounded. The
Mexican was also killed. His head
was severed from his body and perched
on pole. His body was completely
riddled with bullets. Great excite
ment prevails, and every effort is
making to capture the rest OF the
gang.
