THE OLD CHURCH.

THE first Methodist church is now va
cant and the congregation will wor-
ship in the new.-BAzOo.
The old church silent stands to-day,
The pews no longer bold
His worshipers, and shadows gray
Their emptyness enfold.
The pulpit where s, -. was heard
The preachers earnest plea,
In tones which any a sinner stirred
To "turn from a
Has passed away, and at the rail
Around the altar now
No reniients with troubled wall,
Their heads in suppliance bow.
And where the aged deacons sat
With peace upon each face,
Which conscience void of fear begat-
Alas there now is space.
And yet how mem'ry still reca lis
With clear and vivid cast
The scenes within these sacred walls
Which marked the days now past.
Here came the loving twain to we'd
And solemn pledges vowed
And here beside the shrouded dead
, The stricken mourners bowed.
Here sounded forth the loud "Amen,"
When some good brother prayed
To touch "but just His garments hem"
And here the convert made
The first acknowledgement to Him,
In weak and trembling voice,
While "sisters" felt their ewes grow dim
And brethren" did rejoice.
And here sweet voices oft did sing
"Nearer Ny God to Thee"
And "Simply to the Cross Cling"
Or "Jesus set me free"
And tho, the new church rich and grand,
With walls of lofty mold
Doth rise to meet the needs demand
sigh for this-the old.

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
shelled nuts, ons can have q bearing
pecan grove as soon as he would have
bearing pear orchard, and reckoning for
a 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.
Ii 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 80
situated that it cannot be proftably Gull
tIvated 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.

On Cruelty TO Horses.

Mr.. H. L. Haymer, a humanitarian of
much note, says since the recent publ
cation of the work by Anna Sewell, 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 I'M
derstanding. horse lacks words with
which to express its feeling, but who
shall say it lacks a sensitive sense of
man s cruelty when he urges it 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,
a kick, a sudden plunge tells of the re-
sentiment felt. If the horse could speak
it would say, "Master. 1 am doing the
best can, aud if you lash me can do no
more. - If a 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 aud 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 clear
head Cor the master and you are sure of
a horse that will yield instant and 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 hu-
manitarians on our records on account of
the earnest manner in which she inveria-
bly, pleaded the cause of the horse.
Could she know how her work has pros
pered, and how on ali sides the question
is being discussed and a 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.

these was the result of planned crossing.
Several varieties were sown together by
mere accident. perhaps, and after the
second sowing (for the effect does not
appear from the ffrst), heads showing
some kind of marked popularity were
selected and sown to themselves, and
thus originated the varieties named.
Call it what you may, but it was simply
q case OF selection after all
The famous Mediterranean wheat is
probably cross between soms old and
well-known varieties, and as already
stated the cross was the result of a mere
accident. Such being the case every
wheat grower ought to recognize the i'm
portance of keeping on the outlook for
new varieties, by selecting from his field
and putting to test any heads that may
happen to show a marked popularity
which would seem to point towards an
improvement on the main crop By
such means we might drop upon a variety
entirely better suited to the wants of
Texas than anything we now have. AS
stated by US on various occasions, Texas
needs things peculiarly Texan.
Years ago it 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 & 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, Us they have produced eleven dis
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 hybridization;
that is, taking the pollen from the an
theirs of one variety and fertilizing the
plstils of some other variety with 1t. So,
you see, making new varieties is about
as easy of accomplishment by the COM
mon farmer as by any other person.
There is really very little of complicated
scientific manipulation in it. Select the
best from the wheatfeld and next year
SOW it to itself. From the result again
select the best, and so on until the de-
sired object is attained.
Try it, Texas wheat raisers. 1t may
not amount TO anything, and then,
again, it might develop such results as
would work a complete revolution in
Texas wheat production.

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
"bIack 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-tifth 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 30
affected if plenty of decomposed veget-
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
it in fallow answer extremely well.

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 and 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 share of the
rarer flowers that their elders have. 81
don t like my bed at all conldentially
said a little girl TO the writer once. 'It
is just full OF petunias and larkspurs that
no one else will have. Mamma has beds
and beds full of geraniums and gladio-
lus, lilies and roses, and 1 havn't one.
l just hate my old bedl' Do not be afraid
to give the children a few gladlious or
geraniums. They often take more pains
than growu-ups with some plant they
think is extra choice. One child, now
nine years old, has for two years raised
the best dahlias and gladiolus grown on
the place. Her little hoe is forever stir
ring the soil around them, and she Is al
ways ready to supply needed water or
mulch. Divide with the children-they
ought to have q share of the good things.

original igneous or unstraufed rocks
and the stratified 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-lying
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 a 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 10 differ very greatly from field
to field, while another farm shows q
striking uniformity in the character of
its soil.
1t NAV 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-
posts from the overfiowings of great
rivers, the formation of mud banks i'll
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 subjacent
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 O ca
priciousness of phenomena that might
bewilder the observer. Here and there
on certain farm there may be condi-
lions of soil more favorable to TINS or
that crop than the nature of the under
lying formation would lead one to ex-
pect, or they may be less favorable.
Their variation may be attributed to
their transportation by ancient streams
or ancient currents.
