We lately examined a leading agricuI-

paper or regular newspaper would be less
work than IN PUBLISH < a good agricultural

what we mean more skill is needed and a
more care careful discrimination exercised
IN the agricultural paper than in either Of
the Others. The range Of topics would be
much greater and the necessity for condens-
ing more important. In the great daily
newspaper the utmost latitude is allowed in
giving all the details, while in the agricul-
tural paper the salient points must be pre-
sented and all useless details thrown aside.
The value of the agricultural papers,
taken as a whole, can hardly be estimated.
They are doing most excellent work for the
whole nation, and, as thoughtful writer
says. There is no principle of political
economy, no question of public policy, no
consideration of statistical facts, no new de-
veiopment of scientific knowledge, which
does not come home TO be measured in its
influence upon the results of the farm"

Cotton Seed and Dairy Butter.

As TO whether cotton seed meal is good
for the butter dairy. a correspondent of the
New York Tribune writes: introduced
cotton seed meal as food for dairy COWS in
this section. l have fed it eight years, the
first four in connection with other grain
feeds. The last four years we have used
nothing but pure, sweet cotton seed meal,
except that while the COWS are dry and on
coarse fodder we give them such grain as
We produce and wheat bran, the latter to
build up aud strengthen the osseous and
muscular system and to prevent abortion.
As soon as the cows come in full milk we
give two rations of hay q day, a three quart
ration Of cotton seed in the morning and
two quarts at night, until tur ed out to
pasture, wheE they get two quarts day.
When at hay, the morning ration of meal
is meal is mixed with six quarts of sweet
skim milk. Under this regimen we keep %
per cent. more COWS and make fully 20 per
cent. more butter per cow than by the other
grain method.
Three years ago l was not able to secure
enough cotton seed meal, and we used half

the field in buckwheat, and the crop shows
the same difference. Our pastures are CIV

is crying up this convention at great
rate. But be all this as it may, the
fact is nevertheless patent THAT what
a great body Of the,iState of Texas,
the black waxy section, needs is a
good road law, one under which some
thing of importance in road improve
ment can be accomplished. All agi-
tation leading to this result is well
done. So it is the following copied by
the Galveston News from the San An
tonic Times, and its comment there
on are pertinent:
"'By a wise administration Of her
affairs she Bexar county has
accumulated healthy finan-
cial balance, with which she is
improving her roads and paying for
il. The principal highways through
out the country are passable for heavy
loaded vehicles in the worst kind OF
weather and are in a better condition
than many of the streets Of San An
tonic. This has been accomplished
with improved road machinery owned
by the county, the work being done
under contract If there is better
way OF getting good roads than this it
has not been suggested as yet 1t
would be interesting to know just
what proportion of the revenue de-
rived from county taxes has been ex-
pended on the county roads and what
has been the cost per mile OF the inn
provements which are regarded as so
satisfactory"
The Austin weekly statesman. (Austin, Tex.) 1883-1898, 1890-03-20
LONG AND SHORT HAUL,

Maj. Breckenridge, in his admirable
address to the cattlemen at Fort
Worth, stated some facts in relation tC
the transportation question that very
pointedly illustrate its relation tc
state commerce and prosperity.
An Austin firm shipped Car OF ice
to Corpus Christi, the freight on which
cost $50. A car of ice was shipped
from.Quincy, ILL.,, to the same con-
signees in Corpus Christi, the freight
being only $50, the distance being
thousand miles, whereas the dis
lance from Austin to Corpus is only
two hundred and thirty miles. The
Illinois car went right by the doors of
the Austin factory and over the same
line.
Again, Maj. Breckenridge said he
requested an Austin fruit dealer to
order some apples from Northeast
Texas because he deemed them su-
perior to Northern apples. But the
dealer plainly told him he could not
afford to have apples shipped from
North Texas, because the railroads
charged G5 cents per hundred
from Paris, Lamar county, and
only 55 cents from St. Louis.
The railroad men say this state OF
things is due to the operation of the
interstate commerce law, the losses
occasioned by which they are COM
PEELED to make up on local state
freights.
But this does not explain away the
fact that under our present system OF
transportation manufactures in Texas
are an impossibility, because under
such freight discrimination as shown
by Major Breckenridge We could
never compete with those of the
North. For the same reasons under
it the wholesale trade of Texas can
never flourish as it should. As it is,
right here in Austin goods made in
Dallas, though at our very doors,
would cost more to get to Austin than

TIE NECESSITY ENISTS-WHAT OF
THE REMEDY?

There are usually wheels within
wheels, and there are those who assert
that one power behind the movement
TO secure law authorizing counties
to issue bonds for roal improvement
is the greed of money lenders to find
another and large class of securities
i'm which to invest. 1t i even said
the moneyed men OF Galveston are
bohind the call for an early road con-
vention in that city. This view OF the
case is possibly strengthened by the
fact that the Galveston News, which
never works for anything but itself,

THE CHICAGO REEF TRUST.


Gov Ross in his letter to the cattle
convention at Fort Worth briefly but
with the hand of master, sketches
the effect of the Chicago beef despot-
ism on the cattle industries of the West
and Southwest. Raised up as a cow
boy and one of the most practical
cattlemen in the State, our governor
hits the nail on the head when he
says Chicago is the only cattle market
on the continent. Were this all it
might pass. But the governor merely
reiterates what has long been known
to every intelligent stockman when
he says the Chicago syndicate arbitra-
rily DEGREES the prices OF cattle, and
those firms, dealers and sellers
throughout the country not in the
ring are to be boycotted and ruined.
This fact has been as good as admitted
by witnesses like Armour before the
United States senate committee who
have been investigating this very sub
ject.
The fact that a disease exists is patent
Its causes appear as occult as its ell
fects are blighting to the whole system.
But the remedy is what Gov. Ross calls
the attention of the stockmen to and
in few words solves the problem.
The solution is this Before the cattle
interests of Texas and the West can
throw off the yoke of the Chicago
ring we must ship our beef from our
own slaughter houses and reirigerators
direct through Texas deep water
port across the Atlantic to the millions
of hungry mouths awaiting it in Eu-
rope. Now that is the unknown
quantity in this knotty problem clearly
worked out. Give the cattlemen OF
Texas, Colorado and Arizona deep
harbor on our coast and the Chicago
syndicate will be shorn of its present
evil power to depress and ruin the cat
tie industry.
The whole thing hinges on deep
water and no class of men or interests
can bring to bear n greater influence
in congress to that end than the cat
tlemen backed as they are by hun
dreds of millions of money and the
political power OF the great west,
which will be heard and listened to in
the halls of the national legislature.
This same view of the cause OF and
remedy for the depression of the cattle
interests is held by another distin-
guished Texan, Maj. }. 7. Bracken-
ridge, whose address before the Fort
Worth convention elsewhere appears
this morning Like Gov. Ross, Maj.
Breckenridge is high authority on all
subjects pertaining to the cattle in
terests, and it is notable fact that
both gentlemen came TO the same
conclusion that Texas deep water
port is the only salvation for the
stock raisels OF the great West-the
only means of getting rid of the
Chicago incubus and tyranny.
The Austin weekly statesman. (Austin, Tex.) 1883-1898, 1890-03-20

A DIVINE OF this city a ,ortnight ago
in illustrating the meaning % the
words, $50 great q salvation" and
enunIerating the causes leading up to
its i'll appreciation, to our mind omit
ted the chiefest reason, in that he
failed to call attention to the iIuper-
sonal way in which people for the
most part look at religion. It is all
very right for somebody else to be and
do good, it is their duty and we are
glad to see them performing their OBJ
legations. And so 1t goes. l. not the
same cause at the bottom of stagna-
ton in city's life? If the growth
and prosperity of towns were taken
out OF the impersonal column and
cast up to the account of individuals,
would not a charge come over the
business aspect OF such towns? Make
his towns success matter res ing
upon the conscience of every citizen,
and you convert those citizens into a
busy hive of workers, you implant the
you insure success.
