The injury to Southern agricul
ture by the Conger Compound Lard
bill, says the Manufacturers Record,
amounts to millions of dollars. True
the measure did not become law at
the session just ended, but the fear
that it would pass caused great
fall in the price of cotton-seed oil,
and because of the possibility of its
getting through Congress at the
short session next winter, there is
little reason to expect any advance
in values. The competition between
the oil trust and the independent
mill companies last season advanced
the price of cotton-seed to a point
in which there was little if any pro-
fit to the oil producer, but that was
matter that would have regulated
itself without injury to cotton grow
ers had not this unnecessary and
pernicious bill been introduced and
advocated with a determination and
persistence that led the mill owners
to seriously apprehend its passage,
and the consequent loss of the i'm
mense business derived from the
use of cotton-seed oil in the lard
! business. At present all the CON-
panies dare offer for this seasons
crop of cotton-seed is So or 50 a ton,
as against S14 to S16 last year. This
reduction will tell most severely
upon the small farmers, who can lily
afford to lose the money from this
adjunct of their cotton crop, which
for several years has been an import
| ont addition To their incomes

ATTEND THE FAIRS

The farmer should attend his
county fair, and as many others as
he possibly can. There is always
something to be learned at these
places, and the ideas picked up
are often of such a nature that
they are of real value, and will be
the means of saving dollars.
When we say go to the far, we
mean take the family, also, and 60
early so as to spend the most of
day, so that there will be no cause
to feel hurried. There is no en-.
joyment lfyou do not feel you have
plenty of time, to look at things to
your hearts content. If you are
keepings scrub cattle on the farm
the thoroughbred cattle at the fair
will be of especial interest to you,
and if you could so manage that
you could be present when the
milking is done 1t would, perhaps,
be quite revelation to you re-
garding the quantity and quality
some of these pure bred COWS give.
Study the display of fruits, and
learn to be able to distinguish at q
glance different kinds of apples.
Perhaps you may also discover by
the names on the dishes OF apples
that you are calling some in your
own orchard by the wrong name.
The display of grain may convince
you that there is more in the seed
than you thought, and that it is
about time that you tried a new
variety. The machinery display
is always an endless source of in
terest to an enterprIsIng farmer.
If your wife is obliged to do the
churning with the old-time dasher
churn, look at the improved churns
OIL exhibition and delight the heart
OF your better halt by purchasing a
Iabor-savlng churn. Go through
the display of poultry and talk
with the exhibitors, but don't be-
lieve all they tell you. You can
get a more correct idea OF the types
of the different pure breeds OF
poultry than from circulars or
books. The thoroughbred sheep
will delight you if you have been
keeping scrub sheep and make You
wonder why you've been doing it.
The short-nosed swine with their
compact bodies and short legs will
likely cause you to become dis.
gusted with your long-snouted
non-tattenlng ones. In fact, an OBJ
servant farmer will at the fair see
many things that will be great OBJ
iect lessons to him and show him
in many ways wherein he can bet

A CLEVER Chinaman has outwitted
Brother Jonathan by declaring his
intention of becoming a citizen of
the United States. No Chinaman
can become a citizen of this country
but there is nothing in the law to
prevent his declaring his intention
of becoming citizen; any alien so
declaring and forswearing his ale
glance to his former sovereign, be-
comes, in law, war of the Republic
can own property where an alien
cannot, and in sixteen states can
vote. If many of his countrymen
follow this cute Chinaman's example
and 'live up to their privileges, it
will not be long before anti-Chinese
laws will be repealed.

The ex-Confederate Soldiers of
Williamson equity met at George
town last Saturday 1856 strong and
passed resolutions requesting the
next Legislature to appropriate a
sufficient amount Of money to erect
and maintain a hone for disabled
ex-confederate soldiers, and to es-
tablish and maintain a publishing
house for publishing all necessary
histories and other school books for
the use of the public schools of
Texas. Both of the measures advo-
Gated in the resolutions are deserv-
ing of the consideration of the
Legislature. The disabled veterans
should be cared for and the histories
that are used in our public schools
should be true history, so that the
children growing up would honor
their ancestors who fought for Dixie
instead of being taught that they
were traitors.

The Columbia Is. c. Register pre-
diets that should the rate of cotton
production in the South from 1879
to 1889 be maintained to 1898, 1--WE
shall see production of 95,6O7, 900
bales in ten years, worth, at an aver
age of $50 per bales, S4,775,35O,OOO,
or yearly average of SAT-, 100000.
Is this a dream? The plain facts
point to it as certainly as we live
and our society is kept at peace with
itself. But besides this, we shall
see manufactured into goods some
SS,000,000 bales in the period, which
will mean some S125 to the bale put
in goods, or thousand million in
cotton goods in the period, or a
hundred million a year" New and
improved methods of cultivation,
better farm implements and tools,
greater economy in farm work, are
all tending towards the fulfilment of
this prophecy.
