What a Lady May Do In Texas.

wish to say to you, proprietors of the Fort
Worth GAZETTE. that your Sunday edition has
treobled in value to me since the introduction Of
its agricultural department. That department,
is ably edited, telling US what the South needs
and above all, what Texas needs. For two yea rs
I regular read most OF the Southern journals,
but now I mainly coufne myself to the Southern
Cultiva,or, Georgia, the Texas Horticultural
Journal and the Fort Worth GAZETTE, pinning
my faith on Mr. Munson, JEFF. Welborn and

On Bnrley Culture in Texns.

On BnrJey Culture IN Texas.
While cannot indorse the growing OF barley
to make beer may state that would much
like 10 see it grown extensively in Texas as
food for horses and hogs. About the year 1850
majority of the farmers around Chatfield, Ma
varro county, went into the growing Of barley,
and continued it to the close of the war. Their
barley fields usually yielded all along from sixty
to ~ bushels 10 the a re: Manv small farmers
raised from 500 10 1870 bushels OF barley each
threshed out 2ODJ or 1000 bushels. The grain was
fci to horses. mules and hogs on the farms.
Through these times we all lived at home and
boa rded at the same place. Now, unless con-
tinued culture of these black and sandy lands to
cotton and corn since has exhausted them, l
can see no reason why the same yields to ba ley
the same yields may be made land there is no
good reason for doubling it,, the appearance TO
is that large money lies in store for our Texas
farmers. to each them through bar .ey Gil lture.
Even yield of only fifty bushels to the acre
commanding. fifty cents per bu hel, would
make it paving crop most decidedly. Our
alliance store in Ennis lately sent off Tor seed
barley and seed rye, which promptly sold
out TO the farmers at the moderate pr ce of sl.6)
a SusEel. The farmers wanted II mainly for win
5turs.
When. Oh! when, will some of our enterprising
farmers tax the matter in hand and inaugurate
radical departure from this prevailing craze
for all cotton and cora. to the extent OF gro wing
at least enough small grain for home supply. or
for winter pasture? G. T. HOGAN.
Ennis, Tex.
We have no disposition to oppose the
sentiments OF our correspondent with
reference to the making Of beer, yet we
endeuvor to take philosophical view of
the case. Texas will make beer and
Texans will drink 1t. If Texas produces
no barley the Texas brewers will send to
Canada or to California for their sup
plies, and will make just as much beer
as they would make were tine supplies
grown within sight OF their plants. The
money paid for those supplies obtained
from distance would 70 entirely out of
our region of country, whereas, were the
supplies raised by us that immense
amount of money would stay In Texas.
Refusing to grow barley for the manu-
facture of beer would be about on par
with throwing into the river money that
we might just as easily retain IN our
pockets. The money is sure to go, if We
dom t arrange to scoop 1t in it will leave
us forever, to the enrichment OF distant
sections aud the Impeachment to that
extent of our own state. The beer is al
ready bargained for, SO to speak, hence
ii is simply left to US TO say whether CT
not We shall live up to the old rule of
making for ourselves and for Texas the
N ost we can make out of q bad bargain.

Professor Moller, the noted scientist,
has lately published an interesting ae-
count of his observations on clouds. The
highest clouds, cirrus and cirro-stratus,
rise on an average TO u height of nearly
80 900 feet. The middle clouds keep at
from about 10 600 feet 10 90 600 feet in
height, while the lower clouds reach to
between 5000 and 1000 feet. The cumu-
lus clouds float with their lower surface
at q height of from 1000 feet to 5000 feet,
while their SUBMITS rise TO l6 ZOO feet
the tops OF the Alps are often hidden by
clouds OF the third class, but the bottom
of the clouds of the second class, and
especially of the thunder clouds, often
enfold them. The vertical dimensions of
q cloud observed by Prof. Moller on the
Netleberg has over 1900 feet; he stepped
out of 1t d height Of about 300 feet, and
high above the mountain fioated clouds
of the middle class, while wells of mist
lay in the ravines and clefts. The upper
clouds we're growing thicker, while the
lower ones were dissolving, and soon it
began TO rain and snow.

Wood with mirror polish is rapidly
coming into use for ornamental purposes.

wood Is first submitted to a bath OF

calcium for twenty-four to thirty-nine
hours. after which concentrated solu-
ticn of sulphur is added. Alter another

Nobody suspected the Forum Of being
n humorous publication until Mr. 9.
Wood Davis article upon the farmers
poverty appeared in the April number,
and Mr.. Davis humOr in that issue
might have been excused as an oversight
Of the editor were II not that the same
writer IN permitted to be- funnier than
ever on the same subject In the May is-
sue Of the FOrum Readers Of THE Stdn-
dard will recall that Mr.. Davis traces
the poverty Of the farmer TO the over
production Of the staples that 60 TO sus-
tain human life. Mr.. Davis second ar
ticle il directed TO showing how aud
when the farmer will become prosper
Gus. OF course he expects the farmers
prosperity 10 be brought about bya check
upon production. As no one can any
longer pretend TO take Mr.. Davis seri-
ously we will not attempt 10 give the
readers Of The Staadard summary OF
all his facts and figures. II Is enough,
however, TO say that he believes that the
year 1904 will see us with 72,OO0OOO peo-
pie, requiring for their support the staple
crops grown on an area OF 220800,O00
acres The area now employed in grow
ing such crops is oil, 100000 acres. Mr..
Davis estimates that by 1894 100000
acres will have been added to that area.
This will bring the whole area for such
crops up to 223,OOO,OOO acres, and Mr..
Davis is greatly delighted to figure out
from all this that in 1894 we shall be
100000 acres short OF the amount OF
cultiyable land necessary TO give us
and food. by all this evidence
Mr.. Davis is persuaded that before this
decade Is half spent all the products of
.he farm will be required ut good price,
that lands will appreciate greatly In value
and that the American farmer will enter
upon an era Of prosperity, the unlimited
continuance OF which is assured by the
exhaustion Of the arabic area.
Mr.. Davis delight at the prospect of
sxhausting our arabic area is not a par
.icle Junnler than his cheerfulness at the
thought that the corn lands OF the Indian
territory will not produce surplus be-
cause the Indians are poor farmers; that
IN various parts OF the country agrlcul-

PROPER FUNCTIONS or GOVERNMENT

10 give the car another push, and II every
one whose interests are the same, will
give Il a push, II will have all the speed
necessary 20 do good work That great
moral, high toned organ, the Toledo
Bidde, under date Of February ", has the
following letter: editor Blade 49, Ia
there no way that can be devised by the
government 10 aid those farmers who are
In debt for their farms 10 pay on their
mortgages, they giving the government
security, at the nominal rate Of 2per cent
per annum, 30 that the thousands who
have mortgages on their farms can save
their hOmes?"
The BLade sneers and turns up los nose
at such an idea, and says: "There Ia a
great deal Of Ignorance as to the proper
functions Of the government, and on fin,
ancial subjects" That Is, among farmers
and laborlng men. Let me give you
some OF the proper functions OF govern
ment from republican standpoint: The
first Is 10 loan the peoples credit to bank
Ing corporations at per cent per annum,
and they loan II 10 western Kansans at .
and 3 per cent a mnoth. How do you
like that funCtlOny
There Is another proper function: To
subsldize manufacturing corporations
through a protective tariff. Now for the
proof; take the following from the Chi
cago Journal: "The republican party
will reform, amend and equalize the tariff
laws 80 as TO better adjust their benefits
and burdens, and 10 make them what
they should be-" There il IL, just what
wo have always believed and Contended,
that II was benefit TO the few, and a
burden TO the many. In an unguarded
moment the Journal has given the whole
thing away, as they have claimed that II
was all benefit and burdened no one. !
am proceeding on the assumption that
the Journals orthodoxy is not question
able, which presume is correct. Now,
after that admission, will any republican
have the cheek to say that II burdens no
oneS We believe they will. They have
more cheek and gall than the devil had
when he contended with the archangel
about the body Of Moses. Another
proper function is 20 subsldlze railroad
with land and United States
bonds, and the government guarantee the
payment Of the interest. That is, It must
come out Of the labor Of the working
nan. Another proper function would be
a line Of steamships, and so on,
vi ln6nitum.
Time would fail me TO tell you Of all !
Lhe proper functions Of government from
/ republican standpoint, But when an
I'D granger asks II there 10 no way the
government could relieve him, these fell
ows sneer at him, and tell him he is lg- |
iorant In deludlng himself with such an
dea. How much longer will you suffer
yourselves to be insulted by such dema
yogues and mOuntebanks? Yet In the
ace Of all this, they will tell you there
has been no class legislation. II legisla-
ion that benefits one class and burdens
mother, is not class legislation, would
ike to know what is. The fact Is, il has
III been class legislation 30 far as the
policy OF the government has
,een concerned. That is why we have
