THE NATIONAL CAMP.
The Sessions Are Now Being Held
in Philadelphia.

in Philadelphia.
The annual sessions of the Patriotic Or
der Sons Of America are now being held
ia Philadelphia, and IS one of the largest
attended in the history of tho order. At
the last session held in Boston the word
white" was inserted in the constitution
relating to the qualification of members,
and has caused considerable dissatisfaction
among the members of the order, especially
in this state
When the camp reconvened yesterday
morning there was full attendance to
consider the propriety of breaking down
the color line to which the order has ad-
hered since its incep ion. After long and
spirited debate the motion to strike out the
word white was defeated for want of a
fourflhs vote the result being IS for and
56 against. A motion to reconsider was
then put, but was laid on the table, which
disposes of the question for another year.
At the afternoon session the reports from
the committee on ritual were received and
also from the committee on amendments,
resolutions and other routine matters.
Morning and afternoon sessions will be
held to-day
The visiting members will make trip 10
Atlantic City tomorrow as the guests OF
the Philadelphia delegation.

oSDEHoRNING CALVES.

MIR. Waldo F. Brown, a noted Ohio cat
tie man, tells the Practical Farmer how he
dehorns his cattle while they are yet very
young calves. He uses caustic stick pot
ash, and finds it safe, easy to apply and en-
tirely effectual You can get it at almost
any drug store. A nickle's. worth will
dehorn dozen calves. The time to make
the application is when the calf is three or
four weeks old. or when the horn can be
felt like little button just under the skin.
Throw the calf down, for you can hold it
much easier when il is on its side than if
standing. You must be careful not to
touch the potash with the fingers, but wrap
it with cloth to hold it by. 1t comes in
sticks like a small crayon. Wet the hair
over the horn about as large spot as a
nicllle. and rub with the potash until it
foams like soap. Half minute over each
horn is all that is needed, and in few days
you will find black scab over the horn,
and that will be the last of it. 1t hurts the
calf little and makes him sQuirm, but it
makes no real sore and heals up and hairs
over soon after the scab comes off.

| lessening of cost there. The items of gain
| in these respects may be comparatively
small, but if there happens TO be good
| mano of them they may be made to foot up
to considerable at the end.
There never was anything more simple
| than this. We will suppose that you are
proposing to raise a crop OF cotton. You
| Will say one 500-pound bale of cotton at s
| cents pound would bring me in $40. Now
let me see if l can make any profits On it at
| figures so low-the lowest figures at which
| there is any kind of probability of its ever
selling. You then take into account every
| item of cost necessary to the production of
| bale of cotton and getting it
ready for market, not forgetting
to consider any possible natural
| adverses that might ordinarily present
| themselves. If the figures show that you
| can make nothing on the cotton, you work
over the items again to see if some reduc
ton in cost cannot be made. If you find
this not possible, you drop the cotton and
figure on some other character of CROP
When you have decided on the crop that
you viii pitch, you keep your figures before
you and work up to them TO the letter, and
| as a consequence you cannot help making
money.
The other farmer-the one who cannot
| make farming pay-concludes to raise
crop of cotton, and pitches in without
having made any previous estimate OF
costs. He plows and plants, and hires
own n .cbn ba
come and he then makes his arrangements
for poisoning them, if ne concludes to inter
fere with them at all. When spicking
time'' comes on he hires Tom, Dick and
Harry to pick cotton at so much per hun
dred with no previous knowledge of what
outlay per bale this service is going to in
volve. He gins, bales and hauls to market
on the same blind and reckless plan, and
ten chances to one, unless cotton happens to
rule high, he winds up by coming out at the
little end of the horn, and then wastes a
month or so among his friends, in town or
somewhere else, cursing rings and monop-
olies
This whole thing is nothing more nor less
than simple matter Of business. You en-
gage 10 raise crop of cotton expecting to
realize so much per pound for It. The thing
is exactly on q par with putting in bid on
building bridge or any other character of
structure. The contractor figures all the
costs before putting in his bids. What
would you think of the contractor who
would bind himself to build the bridge
without having first figured on what the
performance would cost him2
Farming pays if you make it pay, but if
you run it blindly and entirely by chance
you will be apt to tindit about as uncertain
as would be any other line of business
driven on the same plan.

the next evening the gentleman heard a,
fearful. 'craiking" ana cackine coming
from the hen in the orange shed, and sug-
costing the discovery of a snake. Aiming
himself with the garden rake. he FASTENED
to the rescue, but it proved to be no snake.
Three of the Young alliCatorS were out,
crawling about the nest and apparently
specializing on how far it might be to the
edge of the swamp. He removed the hatch,
leaving the three unmatched eggs still I'M
der the hen. Just At daylight next morning
he was astonished TO see the hen come from
the orange shed with 4 racket that fairly
reused the neighborhood. and make directly
for the nearest woods. Going TO the shed
he found three new alligators in the nest.
Two years nave since elapsed, and though
that hen has taken high rank As the best
layer on the place, she has never up 10 this
day, evinced the slightest disposition 10
set" The gentleman thinks she must
have concluded that her prolonged impru-
dence had brought on an attack of the inn
jams and that, therefore, il was time 70
begin permanent reform. The method is
probably entirely open to all who may de-
sire to employ tiff the ogenueman ever
took out letters patent on his discovery Wa

THAT FIoRIp. STEAM PUMp.

In Sundays GAZETTE of May II find an
article headed Something on Irrigation. y
1t deeply interested several OF US, and |
have been requested TO ask you TO give US
the name of the pump mentioned, and also
let US know where it is manufactured, if
possible. We are anxious to get further in
formation with reference to the matter, and
any such information you might be able TO
furnish us would be thankfully received. If
it involves any cost please let US know and
we will be prompt. HENRY BIER
GAINESVILLE, TEX.
Several letters on this same subject have
be received by US and we take this method
of making a sweeping reply to all. The re-
ceipt of the letters has afforded US much
pleasure. for they seem to indicate that our
people are interesting themselves in irriga-
ton for Texas.
As stated in our article referred to, we
know nothing whatever about the vacuum
pump employed by Judge Speer. beyond
what was then published. Our article was
based on one appearing in the Florida
Agriculturist of DeLand, Fla. We think it
highly probable that parties concerned
might get themselves put upon the right
track by addressing Judge Speer, Oakland,
Orange county, Fla The Judge (who by
the way, has been figuring quite extensively
as candidate for senator. of late), is a
courteous and obliging gentleman, and
would, no doubt, take pleasure in doing
anything he could for us people of Texas.

THE COLLARD.

Mr.. w. F. Massey of Raleigh, n. c.,
writes that while the collard is grown by
near every kitchen gardener in the lower
Southern states, there are some good things
about it not, as yet, generally understood by
those gardeners. The collard, he says, is a
very hardy species of the cabbage family,
enduring the summer heat and drouth, re-
sisting the attacks of insects and standing
out all winter better than any other cabbage.
This we all know well enough. While
tough in warm weather, he adds, the frosts
of winter make it tender and delicious.
This we know also. While not at all need
ing protection, he continues there is way
of vastly improving it by bending it down
to the ground in winter and covering it
with soil, leaving only the tip sticking out.
This beaches it like celery and renders it
the most delicious member of the cabbage
family on the entire list. A few weeks of
such covering makes its leaves entirely
white and crisp, and as tender as cauli-
flower. A collard that has been so covered
becomes better than the finest cabbage.
This is new to us and, in all probability, is
new to most of our readers.
