Vitality of Glover See d.

Many farmers do not like to use two
year-old clover seed. It is usually
lighter in color than that which is
fresh, but if kept in a dry, even tenn
perature it will grow as we'll as any.
In fact, it often stays in the ground
without injury when buried too deep
for termination. There need be no
hesitation in buying clover seed known
not to be over two years old. After
that age it is probably all right, but
had better be subjected to a test be-
fore being sown in the field.

Chicago Times: In book recently
published, Profs. jerks and Ely pre-.
sent very elaborate and careful esti-
mates OF the cost of hauling freight in
wagons on country roads. The gen.
eral result of these estimates is pre-
sented in the brief but pregnant state
ment that ut present the average cost
OF hauling 100 bushels of grain one
mile is sixty cents. In other words,
sixty cents is the cost of hauling three
tons one mile. II there is no mistake
in the estimate, it is something for the
farmer to think about
The average cost of hauling 100
bushels OF wheat one mile by rail is
said to be One-third of cent. From
these statements taken together, it ap-
pears that it costs $50 times as much
to haul a given quantity of wheat
from the farm to the railroad station
as it does to haul it the same distance
by rail. To state it in another way, it
costs as much to haul crop of wheat
distance of ten miles from the farm
to the station as it does to haul the
same crop l, 800 miles from the station
to market. The average distance
from the farm to the station may not
be ten miles. Suppose it to be half
that distance, or five miles. 1t is then
to be said that the average haul by
rail to market is not 1900 miles, but
less than half that distance. The con-
clusion remains that it costs fully as
much TO haul the crop to the station
&C 70 cf0fi
to the market.
The lesson which the farmer has to
learn from all this is obvious. His
worst enemy, so far as transportation
is concerned, is not the railroad, but
the wagon road. And what he most
needs to do is, not to make war against
the railroad companies, but to set
about the business of cheapening
transportation from the farm to the
railway. 1t is right and proper of
course, to resist extortion where it is
practiced by railway and elevator
companies, but the farmer should not
permit himself to become 80 much alb
sorbed in that business as to neglect
the business, where there is an incom-
parably more promising field for econ
Omy.
A bushel of wheat is hauled by rail
1900 miles for five cents That is
pretty cheap, and the farmer cannot
expect much cheaper railway service
very soon. 1t costs him five cents to
haul the bushel about eight miles by
wagon. If the cost of the wagon haul
were reduced to one cent per bushel,
it would still be tbirty-six times the
cost of the haul by rail for the same
distance. and the farmer would be
ahead four cents bushel, or about
$21 on the average crop of wheat har-
vested from forty acres OF land. Here
is the place for economy.

Jersey Cattle for Beef

In some recent experiments by the
Michigan Agricultural College. the
surprising result was found that the
Jersey beef, though costing more per
pound to fatten, was enough better so
that for those who appreciate the diff
ference between good beef and poor it
would pay to fatten it. This is con-
trary to the common impression among
farmers. The small size of Jersey cat
tie has turned attention from this
breed for the butcher. but it had in
these experiments a smaller percent
age of waste meat than any other, and
was especially fine havore1 in parts.
These experiments have not been tried
far enough yet to be conclusive. In
dividual peculiarities of farm have
much to do with the amount of waste
in animals, and the flavor of meat is,
as every one knows, greatly dependent
upon what the animal has been fed.

Care in Sowing Seed.

The Importance of care in the pre-
paration of the soil is sadly moderated.
c. L. Allen of Long Island, N. Y,
writes in Garden and Forest as fol-
lows: ''This care is usually given in
proportion to the cost of the seed, that
is, novelty of high price receives
due attention, and for this reason,
rather than for any real superiority,
it may excel older sorts. The mar
ket gardeners of Long Island as rule
buy their cabbage seed of a neighbor
who has a reputation for choice var
iety, sometimes far superior, he thinks,
to anything to be obtained at a seed
house. Market gardeners pay from
$12 to SIS per pound for the: seed,
when equally good seed could be
bought at relis BILE house for So. But
the fifteen-dollar seed is the cheapest
for the gardener in the end, because
he sows thinly in soil prepared with
the greatest care.
1.-The result is that most of the seed
terminates, the plants have sufficient
room for development. they do not get
"leggy," but are strong and stocky,
and In the timely pulverlZed but we'll
compacted soil they are::well furnished
with roots. When these plants are set
in the field they do not suffer from the
change; their vigor pushes them
ahead, they are quickly established,
and yield large proportion of we'll
developed heads. Low-priced seed,
purchased by the same gardener.
would have been sown more thickly in
loose and coarse soils, where the
plants would have been long-drawn,
poorly rooted and without vjgor when
transplanted. The product from such
a beginning will be late, small and of
inferior quality. This is not an mag
mary case. I have seen seed from the
same stock give the best satisfaction,
and in other cases none at all. The
sole reason for these opposite results
was that in one instance the seed was
sown properly and improperly in
others. I have more than once noted
experiences of precisely this character
among the growers of cauliflower in
Suffolk county"

Correspondence OF the Gazette.
CROCKETT, TEX, May 12.-The
weather during the past week has been
fair, and the fields, after lapse of sew
eral weeks, dry enough for the pillow,
and farmers are busy replanting and
cleaning out the weeds and grass. The
rainfall during the past two months has
been unprecedented in this section, the
smaller streams oyerf1owlng their banks
two and three times for weeks. The
Trinity river was much higher than ever
known before, the high water reaching
higher than the great flood of 1866.
The bridge of the International and
Great Northern railway is two feet under
water, and passengers and the mails are
transferred in boats. The water began
to recede to-day and the fall is generally
rapid here at this season of the year. 1t
is expected that the stream will be in its
banks in day or two.
The political cauldron is beginning to
Blu bible in this county, and the interest in
the race for governor is increasing. The
sentiment of this county is almost uni
versal tor commission, and as Gen.
hOEB Is T0Rdrueu more particularly rs
the exponent and representative of that
issue, it is believed he will receive the
full support of this county. His stand in
favor of doing something for the support
and maintenance of the disabled Confed-
crate soldiers meets with universal ap-
prevail. 1t is a burning shame upon the
fair name of our state that these NEIL
who went out at the call of the state to
defend her honor, and who stood for
four years between the invaders and your
fresIdes, and attested their devotion to
their state on every battle field from
Gettysburg to thsRio Grande-should be
left neglected and in poverty and de-
pendent upon the efforts of the glorious
women of the state to seek aid for them
as charity when it should be demanded
as right. The state called them out
and found no constitutional barriers to
that, and it is unmanly now to whine
about constitutional barriers when she
sees the debt tnat she owes the men
staring her in the face.
