Through With Hardly a Scratch.

"This soft, balmy, wondrous

she said. "The flowers bloom and

the reporter, as bending low he = was

wanted to know if the words "hash

remain as written in the elaborate
wedding notice, or should he insert
"repast." The reporter had been
dreaming.

EDUCATIONAL DEPARTMENT.
Superintendent Cooper has address
ed the following communication to
the commissioner courts of the several
counties in the state:
Gentlemen-The annual statement
of the receipts and disbursements OF
the school fund in your county, filed
in the department of education for
the years, 1887-88 and 1889, show
that the commissions paid to the
county judge from the school fund
are largely in excess Of the amount
prescribed by the statute. When my
attention was called to this fact,
addressed letter to the attorney
general, the legal adviser of the state
government, asking what remedy, il
any, could be applied for the correction
of this abuse. The reply of the attor-
ney general has just reached me, and
/ beg to submit for your consideration
the following extract from his letter
of advice:
ain this case the commissioners
courts have no discretion whatever in
the matter. The compensation is fixed
by statute, and the only question fol
the court to consider is, have the ser
vices been rendered? So, II the action
OF the court is placed upon the ground
that they had discretion TO allow
more compensation than that fixed
by statute, they acted beyond the
scope Of their authority and juris
diction, and the money &c
paid in excess of the amount
allowed by law, may be recovered al
the suit Of the county. The county
Judge is member-the presiding
officer of the county commissioners
court. If he and they, acting together
can arbitrarily fix his compensation al
such sum as they see fit, and having
SO fixed and paid it, success
fully plead that their actor
is final and conclusive
their is no limit TO the power Of tn,
court to allow and pay claims mo-
charageable against the county. In
such cases the judge becomes the
arbiter OF his own right" Upor
this point the supreme court of Arkan
sas has said: "But the court below

tributed and the granules firmly
pressed together-not worked. Set it
away In cool place for 6 to II hours,
then work just enough to make the
mass uniform and compact and print
OF pack for market.
Some good butter makers practice
working twice, others work but once
and that as soon as taken from the
churn.
The least working of butter consis-
tent with uniformity, even distribu-
ton of salt and removal of surplus
moisture, will give best results.
: For special trade print butter in
pound or half pound prints neatly
wrapped in parchment paper will
bring highest price. For the general
market it will be the most economical
to pack in ash tubs-sizes to suit
Cummings. Before using tub fill il
with hot brine and let it soak for at
least ~ hours, relocating the brine
when cool.
Ii temperature is too low the cream
must be warmed, either in a vat prop
erly constructed for use of outside heat
usually steam, or by adding warm wa
ter, The latter plan will be found
very satisfactory when the tempera-
ture is only few degrees out. Ii
much too cold the vat (outside heat)
will be necessary.
A revolving churn of any make,
swinging churn, or rocking churp
without dash or paddles should
not be filled more , than half
full of cream for one churning-better
not ill it more than about two-fifths
or four-ninths full.

dairy salt.

"Had any trouble getting hands?"
"No, l have had twenty all through

and lots of cotton is received from

think is coming from Bastrop to Aus
tin than ever before, and it is being
drawn here by the Alliance yard.
"How do prices compare this year to

of it is being drawn here from Hays
county that the Alliance yard there
has closed up. l have been selling
cotton here in Austin; am posted on
prices, and figures are higher here than
elsewhere, and everything is paid in
hard cash. More cotton is being
brought here from Caldwell county
this year than ever before, and all in

the expectations Of its friends, and
next year it will do 100 per cent
better. The yard has been good
thing for Austin and good thing for
the farmer, and next year it will be
better. If this weather continues two
weeks longer most of the farmers will
get through picking their cotton.
