Best Flowers for Children.

Among these, says Vick's Monthly
may be reckoned balsams, nasturtiums,
portulaca, phlox, pinks and sweet peas
These good old fashioned flowers grow
easily, last long in bloom, and are
among our brightest ana best flowers.
As rule. these bright, easily grown
flowers please the children well; some
times children whose parents pay much
attention TO flowers, and have many rare
sorts. with the keen sense of justice all
children possess, grow dissatisfied with
ANIMALS alone and long for a share of the
rarer flowers that their elders have. "I
don t like my bed at all }" confdentially

to give the children few gladlious or

should not Texas horticulturists follow
the lead Of nature and plant out extern
sive pecan groves?
The pecan, says DR.. Ragland, is sus-
ceptible of great improvement by careful
selection; that is, by planting large thin
sheiied nuts, ons can have a bearing
pecan grove as soon as he would have a
bearing pear orchard, and reckoning for
few years in the future, the money
yield of the pecan grove will far exceed
that of the pear orchard. Then, there
will be on the side of the pecans decided
advantage in the fact that they are never
troubled by any kind of blight.
Than the pecan we have no healthier
or longer lived tree in Texas. Every
thing seems to stand out boldly in favor
of the pecan.
1t is pleasant to note that this very
valuable nut bearing tree Is beginning
to receive the attention its merits deserve
at the hands Of such wide-awake horti-
culturists as Col. w. r. Stuart, Bredi-
ger, Swinden and others, and ere long
we may expect to see the valley lands
along our creeks In North and Northwest
Texas planted to pecan groves. More or
less land lying along small streams is SO
situated that it cannot be profitably cul-
tlvated to general crops. Such locations
are peculiarly adapted to the growth of
the pecan, and such waste land may thus
be made the most profitable area on the
farm.

While much of the soils of Texas con-
tain all the mineral elements of plant
food needed by crops, there is still an
element needed greatly, even by some of
our very best soils. Generally speaking,
there could be no better soil than our
'black waxy prairie, and yet no soil
stands in greater need of the element re-
ferred to than does our black waxy
prairie. That element, is what we call
humus. In other words, it is simply de-
composed vegetable matter.
DR.. May Rev, in his course of chemis-
try and geology, says the strong clay
soils shrink near one-fifth in bulk on
drying, which congresses the roots of
plants, excluding the air, greatly to
their detriment. 1t, furthermore,
causes the soil to crack open, thus
breaking the roots or exposing them to
the damaging drying out effects of dry
atmosphere. Sandy soil is not so
affected, and stiff clay soil is not so
affected IL plenty of decomposed yeget-
able matter be worked into it..
Almost any character Of vegetable
matter will answer the purpose. AL
falfa or red clover turned under proves
the very life of such soil, and even the
common weeds or grass that grow upon
II IN faliow answer extremely well.

On Cruelty TO TIorses.

Mr.. Ii. L. Haymer, a humanitarian Of
much note. says since the recent publi-
cation of the work By Anna SeweIl, en-
titled Black Beauty, attention has been
called more and more to the crueltles
practiced on the horse, mans most
faithful and useful servant. We re-
quire the use of this animal more than
that of any other, he adds, and either
from want Of thought or ignorance we
forget that the horse is very fine and
delicately organized animal, sensitive as
man to pain aid hardship, and almost
human in its sense of hearing and un-
derstanding. A horse lacks words with
which to express its feeling, but who
shall say 1t lacks sensitive sense of
mans cruelty when he urges 1t beyond
its utmost strength with blows and
curses. Mark the dilating nostrils and
quivering muscles, and the starting eye
when the keen lash descends. A snort,
kick, sudden plunge tells of the re-
sentiment felt. If the horse could speak
1t would say, "Master. am doing the
best 1 can, and If you lash me can O no
more.' If man were beaten like the
horse and urged by curses and blows
would he give his best services? Oh.
dear no; he would kick and become sui
len. 1t is so with the horse; kindness in
words AID actions makes him perfect
animal, where blows and curses ruin
him. A horse can be perfectly trained
without the whip, firm, kind voice and
gentle, humane treatment and n clear
head for the master and you are sure of
a horse that will yield instant aud cheer
full obedience.
Anna Sewell has gone to her long home,
but her name will live in history side by
side with that of the most prominent hui
on our records on account of
the earnest manner in which she invaria-
bly, pleaded the cause of the horse.
Could she know how her work has pros |
pered, and how on all sides the question |
is being discussed and cry raised |
against the excessive cruelty of over-
driving, of beating aud of racing, she |
would sleep more sweetly in her narrow
bed. knowing that her labor had not
been wasted.

that some men do find it profitable
Nevertheless, any one who contem-

original igneous or uustratlhed rocks
and the stratif1ed rocks which have been
formed from the first by the action of
water. In certain localities a portion of
the uustratified rocks may remain near
the surface in contact with the LAYERS
that elsewhere cover them; or again,
volcanic and other action in past ages
may have thrown up subterranean
masses and disrupted the level-lyiug
qualifications. In some cases the
action of water will have
eaten through different kinds of strata
lying one upon the other, so that the
slope of q country that was once the side
of some sea shows various kinds of rocks
in close proximity. This at once ex-
plains why on the same farm the soil will
be found to differ very greatly from field
to field, while another farm shows a
striking uniformity in the character of
its soil.
1t may be said that there are some
slight exceptions to this rule. While all
soils are undoubtedly the result of rock
wearing or rock decomposition, they
may be in character vastly different from
the rocks In their immediate neighbour
hood. If one conaiders that the de-
posits from the overtiowings of great
rivers, the formation of mud banks in
beds of lakes, and all the action of water
and winds generally have during modern
times or comparatively recent centuries,
formed the softer and uppermost crust of
the earth and naturally mixed up con-
siderably the ma terials of the subiacent
strata, one will cease to be puzzled by
the occasional discrepancies OBJ
servable between the character of
the soil and the underlying rock. 1t is
necessary to realize that a geological
formation including sometimes beds of
rocks, many hundreds of feet IN thick
ness represents the work of countless
thousands of years, and the vastness of
the scale on which nature works fur
nishes the best security against ca
priciousness OF phenomena that might |
bewilder the observer. Here aud there
on a certain farm there may be eondi- |
tions Of soil more favorable to this or |
that crop than the nature of the UNDER |
lying formation would lead one to ex- |
poet, or they may be less favorable. |
Their variation may be attributed to |
their transportation by ancient streams
or ancient currents.

Improving Wheat.

1t is NOT an uncommon thing to find
persons trying to sell what they term a
rare variety of seed wheat, claiming that
the boosted excellency has been secured
by artificial Decentralization. The
Dayton Farmers Home says humbue-
ging will exist in very large majority
of these cases. By Decentralization, or
naturalization, is meant miugling one
variety with that of another; or. in
other words, inocularing or grating.
Many kinds of grain and vegetables will
readily mix when sown or planted near
each other; but this is not the case with
wheat. Anyone may mix a dozen or
more kinds of wheat together and SOW
them promiscuously on piece of
ground. At harvest time each grain
will be found to have produced head of
its own kind, and not once in ten million
times will they hybridize or mix. But
this does sometimes happen and in this
way have some of our most popular and
productive kinds originated, such as the
Fultz, Clawson, Fulcaster, Valley,
Martin, Amber. etc. Neither of

ears ago 1t was recognized that Eng
land needed an English wheat. and so
the Royal horticultural society of that
country offered large sum of money to
any one who would succeed in filling the
need. The laborious and uncertain task
was undertaken by Carter s. Sons of
England, undoubtedly the largest seed
growers In the world. Seven years were
required to successfully accomplish this
object, and to get seed enough to dis
tribute in various sections of the world
But the time and labor have been well
spent, as they have produced eleven dis
tinct varieties which are the result of
their sowing different varieties together
and then making selection of the best
results.
1t is not at all probable that there is
now any prominent variety of wheat on
the seed market that was ever made by
what We call artificial liberalization;
that is, taking the pollen from the an

Nearly every farmer IN his experience
with poultry, says the Southern Ccltiva
tor, can recite the fact Of hen going
away to the woods and stealing her nest
to return, latter many days. with a
big brood of chickens. There is no ques-
ton about 1t, hens running at large show
a greater fertility in the eggs, and the
chicks are more vigorous in consequence
of the concealed nest under the bushes
Exposed for three or four weeks in the
open air, subject to the many changes
of climate, and warmed up every time
the hen adds another egg to the lot
with all these changes, strange to say,
nearly every one Of these eggs produces
healthy and vigorous chick. 1t be-
comes question, whether we are using
the best method when we carefully col
lect them every day and put them one
end upwards in a. partitIoned box or in
bran
