Mr.. Frank Campbell, who does great
deal of sensible talking through the pa
pers, says for generations past proml-
nent question among farm people has
been, "What shall We do to keep our
boys on the farm?' But it is not q
question of so much Importance now as
1t was in the past. The world grows
better day by DAY. generally speaking,
and as IL does so the attractions of the
farm and farm life are keeping pace with
the times. The complaints against the
boy who would not stay on the farm are
not so common as they used TO be. There
are attractions at home for the inquisitive
mind. The locomotive may now be
studied in the engine that comes every
year to the farm to run the thresher; the
revolving wheels and peculiar mechan-
ism, once SO attractive in the foundry
and factory, may now be seen in the
field, as the modern self-binder maps the
grain, as the planter puts the corn in the
ground. The novelty of farming is now
as great as that of any other occupation,
and the farmers boy has no longer to go
to town to see something new. Charae-
ter, too, may be developed on the farm
as in no other place on earth, aud the
farmers boy is beginning 10 tiud it out,

Bitter Weed and Milk,

Mr.. J. Il. Bringhurst of Houston
Tex, says he has seen 1t in print that
soda given to COWS would destroy the
bad effects of bitter weed (helenium) =,
SO far as relates to the bad flavor it
lmparrs to milk. In his portion of the
state common salt is employed in the
same way and for the same purpose.
Give each at each feed about table,
spoonful, which in a few days destroys
the hitter in the milk the effect OF the
bitter weed, and he considers it much
better for the purpose than soda. Then,
he reasons, salt Is necessary article of
food for stock as well as for man,
Furthermore, salt destroys that cowy
taste milk sometimes has, making it
swester and purer, and giving :he COW
relish for her food and drink. The
Soda meant by Mr.. Bringhurst is
doubtless the common carbonate OF
sodium. If this can be counted upon as
of value US remedy for the "bitter
seed' troubles, common salt would lin
all probability, be OF equal value, as it
is simply another form of soda--ehloride
of sodium. 1t would certainly seem more
natural TO be feeding salt to ones cattle
than to be dosing them with soda.

on the fl nit stands OF Fort Worth. For eating
purposes they are not much to speak of, but
they look well and people buy them literally.
by you think plums anything like these light
be raised in Texasf
Fort Worth. Tex.
Under conditions the same as prevail IN
California, SO far as relates to water sup
ply, we feel confident that the same
varieties might be as successfully raised
here as in California. Those plums are
raised on irrigated grounds. Irrigation
would make them success here. The
trouble with our plum culture lies in our
not unusual fall droughts. These
droughts put the trees into a state OF
rest, and then when the late fall or
winter rains come on they start into new
growth. This renders them so tender
that the first cold snap to come along
kills the fruit buds. Now, if the trees
were irrigated and kept growing through
the dry season their natural period of
rest would come on with the cool weather
instead OF before, for trees must rest at
some time in the season. Being at rest
then IN the winter, the fruit buds would
be more hardy-tOo hardy TO be affected
by our light freezes-and hence they d
get through all right, giving US tiue yields
of plums,

History of the Alliance.

As you are now rocking" doubtless, in the
very cradle of the Farmers Alliance, so to speak,
cannot you give brief history of the in
fancy of the now fuli-grown giant? 1 think the
Alliance originated in the near neighborhooi of
Fort Worth, Tex, leastwise such has always
been my understanding. Anything from you
in the direction indicated would be pie aSant
reading for your Alliance friends here.
Scranton, Miss. ALLIANcENAS.
We know it is quite generally under
stood that the Farmers Alliance orig
mated in Parker county, Texas, the
county butting on the west, Tarrant
county, of which Fort Worth is the
county seat. But upon careful invest;-
CATION we are Inclined to the opinion that
this is probably mistake. The best au-
thorities to be reached assure US the first
Farmers Alliance took shape, rs such, in
Lampasas county. Texas, in 1876. The
aim OF the organization was TO resist the
unlawful depredations of cattle thieves,
also land thieves, by aiding the civil OFF,
GERS in bringing such law-breakerA to JUS
tIce. or course the organization was ex-
tremely defective, but 1t outlined to q
considerable extent the present Farmers
Alliance. Mr.. w. 7. Baggett was one
of the trainers of the rItuaI-perhaps the
man who drew il up. In 1879 Mr.. Bag
gett moved from Lampasas to Parker
county, and soon after his location there
he organized q society on The Lampasas
plan. This was the first Alliance organ
lied outside OF Lsmpas as.
From this Parker county organization
the society started on q rapid spread un-
til finally a state organization was effect
ed. It had Its headquarters at Central,
in Parker county. We think the So
called state organization was put into
working order in 1881. IL was known as
che Farmers State Alliance.
From this time the order entered into
rapid growth, spreading over North
and Central Texas. In 1856 state
meeting was held at Cleburns, johnson

| must be turned TO his use TO carry him
along to the fattening time, and then for
! brief period better foods, as corn and
! the like, must be resorted to for the pur-
| pose of getting him into the condition
! for going upon the market as first-olass
! pork.
Than the hog, no regular farm animal
is more easily raised. He is strictly q
| farm animal-you cannot make a range
animal out of him and expect 10 get from
him his best. Iu that respect he is diff
ferent from either cattle or sheep. You
may raise HIM on the range but not for
mdrket-his range development will not
be sufficient to carry him up to the
standard. There may long continue to
be in Texas great cattle ranches owned
and managed by cattle kings, but there
can never be any great hog ranches-the
hog must be strictly the product of the
regular farm.
Not many days ago gentleman told
us that the consumption of hog flesh was
rapidly on the increase in Texas. As the
country settled up and the cattle range
became interfered with people were turn
ing their attention more to the produce
ton of pork, and those not producing it
were buying a Northern product. He
regretted to see this, he said, for in his
opinion pork was comparatively IN
wholesome as Il food. We well know
that this last impression is widespread,
but in our opinion it is without good
foundation. Hog meat may be cured in
a way or prepared for the table i'll a way
that VIII render it more unwholesome
than beef, but otherwise We consider
that ii is not.
The hog Is liable to comparatively few
diseases, and upon this fact may be based
one argument i'll favor of the wholesome
ness of PORK. But tn re Is yet another and
stronger argument that may be pointed
III the same direction. Nature seems TO
have made the hog to figure as a scaveu-
ger, therefore it became necessary TO so
arrange hIm that his organization would
throw off all poisonous elements that
might exist in his food, holding on to
only the elements entirely suited to his
suStenance and development. AS a con-
sequence, when we use hog flesh as food
we are not affected BY any bad elements
that she hog may have taken. Not so in
the case OF most other kinds of flesh.
To demonstrate the hogs popularity
IN the way of throwing off improper
elements that may exist in his
food, mix a dose of arsenic or
strychniue iuto his bran mash.
He Will eat it all together and never eX-
hibit any resultant bad symptoms. A
very little of the same mess would have
killed either sheep or a steer.
1t is common to hear people denounce
the hog as a scrofulous beast-why?
Where is the person who ever saw a
sCrofulous tumor on q hog?

Arte.inn Water vs.. Texas Fever.

In Texas Stockman and Farmer for
June 81 Col. Fulton takes the position
that the so-called Texas cattle fever may
be traced directly to impure water used
by the stock. He says the disease is due
to q microbe which breeds in impure
water. In the same paper for July 90
Mr.. L. l.. Seller, another good authority,
says: "Col. Fulton is right on the pure
water question, and il there were no
other good reasons for his vigorous ad-
vocacy of it, this one of reducing a
sweeping disease would be ample to en-
title him to the gratitude of all who have
the wisdom to follow his example and
advice. -
Presuming these gentlemen to be cor
rect (and there is no kind of good reason
why they should not Beg we have held
up before us the promise of another
great good to result to our artesian we'll
areas when the artesian waters shall
have been brought into general use. No
more cattle fever to originate on those
areas-why, this thought alone ought to
be enough to at once deeply interest the
people of Texas In artesiau wells.
1t must be admitted that the water
now used by stock in many sections of
our state is exceedingly bad-stsgnant
"tankh water capable Of breeding al
most anything, it would seem. But it
is not at all probable that Col. FuIton's
deadly microbe could inhabit artesiau
water for two reasons: First, the water
being entirely free from stRgna-
ton would not offer suitable indus
for its reproduction (for Col. Full
ton says it will not propagate in
distilled water); and, second, supposiug
it could exist and propagate in nom stag
nant water, the strong probability still
remains that the slightly mineraIized
condition of our artesian waters would
render Them entirely fatal to creature
so delicately organized as the Texas cat
tie fever mIcrobe.

UmbreIIa China Trees.

1 was in lower Georgia last fall where I saw
many gran specimens of a tree the people cali
umbrella china. 1t grows low and has a heavy
top which rounds off like an umbrella, thus sug-
costing the name. Thought it the most beauti
full tree ever saw in my life. 1t was being
grown as an ornamental tree. Is it hardy
enough to endure the winters of Northern
Texas? TURNER ESToN.
Bedford, Ind.
The umbrella china tree is grown
largely in Texas; indeed, it is SAID to
have originated in this state from the
regular china tree, or pride of India as
the books sometimes put il, being one of
those botanical freaks that science has
never been able to explain. 1t is hardy
in Northern Texas. The cold snap the
Inst day of February and first of March,
this year, damaged its tender branches
to some extent, but not near so badly as
the same freeze damaged them along the
coast country of Mississippi, Alabama
and Georgia.

draw out the water, and this demands
quite good deal OF labor. If the con-
venienoes are such as to secure constant
stream, the water should escape by an
overflow; II not, it should escape from
an opening in the bottom of the vat that
can be closed and opened at will. If
there Is not constant regular flow Sc
cured, the water must be changed often
enough TO keep the temperature of the
milk about 60 deg. The milk must then
be allowed to set until all the cream has
risen to the surface. He allows it to re-
main until the milk has clabbered. The
milk is then SKINNED and the cream
properly kept until ready for churning.
In the artesian areas of Texas, where
shallow boring secures an abundant out
flow of water, it seems TO US that an i'm
mense farm dairy industry ought to
spring into early development. Hood
county, where Professor Hill found a
shallow artesian we'll on almost every
farm, offers fair example of the kind
of region we have in mind. All the east
ern border of the Fort Worth and Waco
artesian area presents about the same
character so far as relates to the pOssi-
bility of securing shallow artesian wells.
We are unable to give the temperature
of the water flowing from these shallow
wells, but suppose that coming from
stratum only about 100 feet below the
surface it must be entirely cool enough
for all needs of the dairy.

,iicrob,c pi,ease In Pear Trees.


Your article in the agricultural department Of
TIE GAZETTE of August bore to me peculiar
interest, being directly in my line of investiga-
ton. Fer years have been earnestly engaged
determining the melting carses of human mall
ady, and as this has reached settled phase of
scientific fact to me, what say may be of some
use to you, If in no other direction, at least sug-
gestively.
Your description of the vegetable mcrobe
tallies exactly with the human microbe in gen.
era characteristics and mode OF propag alton.
The thing in which your article seems unsettled
is in the peculiar mode Of infection. You al
most speak it out when you mention the dust
diffusion of dried and disintegrated microbe
from infected trees, and just here believe l can
nelp along. All nicrooe IN sftt OF local naolts-
ton. that IS, before having been removed in
any way, are active while the moment they
looseped and become subject to the decomposing
process they are passive. 4 eff .ctS produced
by the passive substance is tecundatory or like
the pollen of flowers, they render active the
latent mcrobe forming on new spots on other
trees.
The passive phase of microbic existence is
bacterial. then, and is communicated just as
you say,
Respecting the habits of these germnal para
sites, the microbe, they are propagated spon-
taueously in any form of foreign matter, as the
messy secretions in trees, which, when damp
from dews or wet with rains. hold and accumu-
late elrthy and vegetable dust, which by de-
composing become spontaneous beds of mi
crobe. When these become very numerous they
develop into disease independently, while BAG
terial contact merely has the effect of develop
ing new cases where a sufficient quantity OF
micrcbe has not yet accumulated for independ-
ent manifestation. Thus the contsgion occurs.
and the development of the disease is hastened.
More care should be taken to cleanse valuable
trees. Soapsuds used wash occasionally
will prevent microbic accumulation, but it must
be regularly al piled during the season.;
Fort Worth, Tex. J. WALTON MACoY.
We are always thankful to our friends
for "helping us along' in our unsettled
cases, but in this particular instance we
would beg our correspondent to make
note of the fact that, as stated IN the
article. we were simply advancing the
position taken by Professor B. NJ. Wait,
who is quite generally accepted as the
very best authority in his specially known
to the people of the United States. Pro-
fessor Wait is the party who has been
helped along, and doubtless he will feel
grateful to our correspondent when he
receives the marked copy of this paper
hat we shall send him.
