The horticultural Fair.

The meeting of the horticultural as
ISOLATION of central Texas in Waco
July 16, II and 18th is the first thing
Of the kind that has ever been held
here. The importance Of the meeting
is very great and if Waco would not
gain the reputation Of being far behind
other Texas cities In horticultural and
fruit cultural matters, the meeting
shonld be made great success. Waco
was adopted as the place of the annual
exhibit mainly through the patriotic
exertions of Mr.. G. Faulkner Of East
Waco who is not only an enthusiastic
member Of the association but the larg-
est orchardist of central Texas, having
over seventy acres In fruit beariug or
chard. He has done his best to bring
Waco into prominence among the hor-
ticulturalists of the state aud it re-
mains for the citizens to give fruition
to his successful efforts in the matter Of
the meeting by making the exhibition
in July grand one. This can be ca
silly done by taking the matter 10 hand
in time. A meeting Of those interested
in horticulture, Fruit, viii and floricul-
ture will be called at an early day and
arrangements made for the exhibition.
The Central Texas horticultural as
ISOLATION is vigorous and enthusiastic
organization with large membership
of nurserymen, fruit growers, florists,
etc. 1t has usually had its meetings
at Tyler, Dallas and other places where
the fruit industry is much more ad-
vanced than about Waco, and this July
meeting which Waco was fortunate
enough to obtain, ought 10 be made the
entering wedge by which this portion
of the state could DO brought up in
fruit matters alongside its neighbors.
The cannery company have great in
terest in the subject and will, no doubt,
d. their full share Of effort towards
making the exhibition and meeting q
grand success, the few individuals who
are engaged in the fruit and vegetable
growing, either as profession or anna
teurs, will do their part, and If . gen
eral interest can be awakened among
citizens, the fair and exhibition can be
made grand success to the great ad.
vantage Of all concerned.

Down She Goes.

The rapidity with which the new va.
ter system is being pushed is such as
to make the head swim. The first act
of Mr.. j. l Moore after associating him.
self with the Bell water company was
to close the contract with the Rusk
Penitentiary for piping. The amount
contracted for was twenty-one hundred
tons which with lead and other adjuncts
will mako two hundred car loads Of pip
ing. The first installment was receiv-
ed yesterday, fifteen car loads and to-
day eight drays are engaged in haul
ing it and placing it in the streets where
the mains are to be laid. The mains
are sixteen inch pipe which is above
the contract specification. Eight or
ten car loads will be received daily and
in very short time material for pip
ing the entire city will be on hand.
The contractor willwill lay the pipes.
Robt. G. Storrie of Dallas was telegraph
ed this morning to come on at once.
The belt system will be used and the
first belt will be as follows: A 16 inch
main from the wells down Clay to 18th
street and on 18th to Columbus, and a
10-inch pipe down Columbus to 9th
street, from 9th ON Washington to I'd
street. Another belt will be down 9Th
to Speight and back on 9th street with
pipes running 20 the cemetery.
As fast as the piping is done, FIRE
plugs which are expected daily, will be
put in service, and Us on all crossings,
while connections will be made with
private houses, when ordered, as fast
as the work progresses by gang Of
men and plumbers IS fast as the pipe
is laid. The first belt will be complet-
ed by July l., and the others pushed in
the meantime.

A Great Responsibility.

The solution of the social evil
comes up at once before the new city
council. perhaps on the ground that
new broom sweeps clean. But
there is great need of . clean sweep
In this particular. The effect of the
social evil In Waco, at present, Is
horrible and alarming. tits not con-
fined to the vicious, it threatens the
very integrity OF family life. The
radical measures Of Marshal Neil
are not officious meddling, they have
behind them the pressure Of q terrible
state Of things. The debauching Of
tender youth IL systematic ami shook
ing. The tales that might be told Of
one present phase Of the social evil
in Waco would chill and sicken and
terrify the public. The COMMITTEES
which is drafting an ordinance to
regulate this evil has . great duty
before it. 1t holds the welfare and
safety Of the city in its hands and has
on 1t the burden Of . terrible respon-
ability. 1t should not hesitate to
apply radical measures, not to uproot
the institution. for that has never
been and never can be done, but ia
throw around It such restrictions
a. shall make II capable Of the least
amount Of evil. And especially
should the work Of the committee be
to restrict and regulate It for the
safety of tho boys who are being
dragged to destruction by one pc.
culiar phase of the vice % odious q
1t IL novel. Two propositions are un.
der consideration before the commit.
mittee, the one to so localise and focal.
lie the institution AZ to bring II
directly under the eye OF the police,
and the other to bring 1t under medical
inspection. Both are remedies which
have the endorsement Of necessity,
and though the adoption Of the latter
will raise howl among the purists,
1t will receive tho approval OF that
common sense which seeks to do the
best under circumstances over which
there is no control, and on q subject
for tho existence Of which there IL nc
responsibility. The committee has q
big responsibility ON its shoulders
and itshou'd not hesitate in acting
boldly.

Methods of Culture.

In answer to queries of correspond- ents who fail to entirely grasp Fruits Method, the Southern Cultiyator gives the following:
 Ill is fact of not uncommon ob- servation that moderately fertile up- land, well tertilized, will produce q larger yield of cotton than rich allu- vial soil This is due to several causes The greater abundance of moisture to- gether with the larger percentage of organic vegetable matter 0ielding nitrogen) that we find in alluvial soils induces an abnormal and excessive de- yelopment of foliage, which is unfavor- able to the rapid and early maturity of the bolls. The excess of moisture. the dense shade and imperfect circulation tend to produce boil rot. Cotton is emphatically 3 sun plant. and it's ripen- ing 5olls especially require sun heat

HERE AND THERE.

Piles of brush or stubble afford harbofing places for the insects, and they can be better destroyed by burn. ing such material early than to delay until the ground is frozen.
 Bran and skinned milk will mako more growth on pigs now than any thing else Corn is required only when the pig is to be made very fat. A ration i'll which cSrn is a portion of the food will give better results than to depend entirely on it for fattening.
 When q farmer has more grass than he can mow, or use in any man ner ii will pay him % attach heavy chain to a two-horse blow and turn tho grass under, as it will prove more serviceable as a green manurial crop.
 A small crack in the wall of tho stable will do greater injury than to leave window out. More harm re- suits from constant current of air coming on portion of the body of an animal than when the animal is exposed entirely.
 A successful dairyman for many years gives it as his conclusion that a well-fed COW that does not earn her en- tire value in single year is not worth keeping in the dairy Says he: "A COW that has cost tscventy-fye dollars should make net earning of seyenty-five dol- lars.
 When q man wants to sell COW pretty badly unless it is the breeder of COWS for sale-the COW he wants to sell is a good COW not to buy as d rule. We shall never believe that a man can get good COW in any way as easily as he can get her by intelligent breeding and raising the calf-Western Rural
 The hog will thrive better if kept clean and given plenty of water. Milk will not answer as water The water trough should be kept filled with clean water at all times. Many hogs fail to thrive owing to the fact that they arc given plenty of slop and no pure wa ter.
 Land devoted to timber should be completely occupied. It should be thinned out. but never cleared off, un- less it is to be used for another pur. pose. We are no longer obliged to de- stroy hive or colon y of bees in order to get the honey. so we need not de- stroy our wood lot in order to get ] timber.

and dryness In order to mature. The maturing of the bolls is largely a drying process. They are ruptured and opened by the pressure of the confined fiber as the latter dries out it's moisture and assumes the spongy, elastic state Any condition of the plant. or of the air, which rctards this drying process invites the fungus which produces rot, and by so much diminishes the yield.
 Another reason is that the alluvial lands can not be planted so early in the spring, nor do the plants develop so rapidly from one stage to another. First blooms" and first open bolls," always occur on the uplands.
 On q good upland soil, naturally well adapted to cotton, a fertilizer may be prepared which, while bring ing such soil fully up to the richest alluvial in point of content Of avail able plantOfood, yet at the same time l preserves q proper relation between 1 the several elements of food It is we'll 1 known that ammonia and moisture in abundance induce rank and succulent growth. So when we manure heavily we can withhold ammonia. or supply 1t in moderate quantity; and when tho natural conditions present too much moisture, by insuring drainage. In the case of corn, sugar corn and forage crops, the conditions, or alluvial land, are especially favorable to the large yield, because the crops, as rule. re- quire | maximum of moisture and of ammonia.
 Of course, the method of cultivation is important, and We are of opinion l that surface cultivation, as practiced in the older States east of Mississippi. would give better results High beds are probably necessary in Mississippi bottoms, on account of too much moisture in early spring, and during protraeted vet spells But there ap- pears no reason why sweeps and cul- tlvator5 may not be used as elsewhere. Deep blowing induces large develop ment of weed. and is opposed to fruit fitness.
 We have no doubt that cotton is gen. erally too closely crowded on most lands, but especially in the rich soils of the Mississippi valley. As gen- eral rule the rows should be as wide apart as the average height Of stalks when full grown; aud should be not closer to each other along the TOW than one-h half the width of the rows. Cef- tainIy five feet rows and ten to eight cen inches apart in the drill in very unequal proportion and much too close for your rich alluyials.
 One of the most important eonsidf r. ations on such soil is the selection of seed We would suggest the use of seed of some prolific variety grown on the uplands of Middle Tennessee; or some other more northern locality. Such seed will be apt to produce short- limbed, prolific and early maturing plants.
 We think the open secret of Mr Fruits success, is thorough prepara tion. high manuring, good distance. the best seed, and through, shallow cultivation.
