RAILROAD FREIGHTS.

From data in the office of the Cali
fornia state railroad commission, fur
nished by the railroads themselves, it
is clearly demonstrated that liberal
profit can be made on freight at one
cent per mile per ton for even short
distances, provided small additional
charge of fifty cents per ton be made
TO cover handling and station ex-
penses. Even now the railroads offer
to carry wheat from San Francisco to
Chicago for thirteen dollars per ton,
which is but little more than half a
cent per ton per mile. No one will
claim that the railroads in California
are operated at less expense than those
in Texas. What can be done with
profit in California can be done in
s Texas. Those who have not looked
en- carefully into the subject have but
harittle idea of the extent or percentage
-avel "high tariff" the people of Texas
lyorontribute to the railroads. They are
~ too greedy, at times, to know what are
their best interests.
Let the commission papers of Texas
keep prodding away on the subject and
arouse the people, who will in turn
enlist the politicians, until we shall
finally secure the control and regula-
ton Of the railroads through state
commission.

We have occasionally noticed an in
telligent and systematic farmer, who
appeared to work mainly with the
view of making a good living on hii
farm without extravagant calculations
of immediate money returns. These
men we have seen grow steadily rich
whilst those who planted with the sole
view of making money rapidly have
not only failed in their efforts, but did
not get even fair living from, theil
farms. Farming should not consist
alone in planting and cultivating a
crop, but also in raising sufficient
amount of stock, as much as can be
properly cared for when the seasons
are such they cannot rustic for them
selves. This stock will pay fair re-
Enumeration for the feed and attention
given them, and frequently be the
means of marketing crop at good
prices, that might otherwise have been
sacrificed upon an overburdened
market.
An orchard of well selected fruit
trees, even if there be no demand for the

them competency and finally
wealth. To illustrate more fully we
will give an instance that has been

What is ScrofuIa

TITS that impurity in the blood, which, aecumu.
lating in the glands of the neck. produces un-
slightly Jumps or swellings; which causes painful
running sores on the arms, legs, or feet; which
developes ulcers in the eyes, ears or nose, often
causing blindness OF deafness; which is the origin
of pimples, caneerous growths, or many other
manifestations usually ascribed to "humors."
It is more formidable enemy than consumption
or cancer alone, for scrofula combines the worst
possible features of both. Being the most ancient.
tits the most general of AL diseases or affections,
for very few persons entirely free from it
How can it be cured? By taking Hoods Sarsa-
parilla, which, by the cures 1t has accomplished,
often when other medicines have failed, has
proven itself to be potent and peculiar medicine
for this disease. For all affections Of the blood
Hoods Sarsaparilla is unequalled, and some of the
cures it has effected are really wonderful. Hyou
