PRESIDENT lIARRISON'S new Chum and most potential adviser is eX-Representa- tive Mckinley, who bids fair to become a monomaniac on the tariff bill enacted by the billion dollar congress. and which bears his name. Mir Mckinley, who knows that reciprocity, even of the limited kind proposed by Mir Blaine, would eventually result in the death of the doctrine of high protective tariff. by causing it's absurdities to shine even more conspicuously than they do at the present time, has been working on Mir Harrison for quite while to convince him that he must stop Mir Blaine, even if it was necessary to force him out of the cabinet. Nothing would have suited Mir Harrison better. but he was afraid of Blaine. and having obtained his promise to stand off and let him get re- nominated, if he could, he did not care to anger him, but the indications now are that Mckinley has fully succeeded, for no cabinet officer ever got more direct snubbing from the president than Mir Blaine did when Mir Harrison posi- lively forbid his receiving any proposi- tions informally or otherwise from the Canadian commissioners who have been invited here by Mir Blaine.

THE blue glass theory had it's run and iS not much talked of nowadays. but there may have been something in it. In an insane asylum in Munich a patient suffering with melancholia was put in room with rose colored windows and the light had remarkably cheering effect on him. He was good natured that afternoon, and the next day ate of his own accord, whereas he had been fed by compulsion before. The physi- clan in charge then made number of experiments with great success. In the main, red glass was stimulating, eXcit- ing: blue and green glass calming, Sul = duing. To quiet patient it was some times only necessary to bring him into a room with different light.

TEXAs GROWN SEEDS.

During the late war we had only Texas
grown garden seeds and they were as good
as seeds could possibly have been grown in
any other section of country. Before the
war most Northern people settled among US
saved their own garden seeds. When the
war broke out native Texans found them
selves reduced to the necessity of following
the example of these adopted citizens. [
was then a boy in nv teens. and the only
male member of the family left at home
The seed-saving devolved upon me, under
the direction of my mother. Seeds We're
saved of everything we grew, and if by any
chance we failed on some particular species
some neighbor had succeeded with it, while
we had probably succeeded with something
the neighbor had failed in. As a result we
looked about for these successes and fall
ureS with view 10 an exchange of seeds.
BY this means all our crops were kept up.
If l remember correctly our seeds gave bet
ter results then than do the commercial
seeds now. We all had an abundance of
them-turnips. radishes, beans. peas. mus
tard, cabbage. lettuce, sweet and Irish po-
.atoes, onions, shallots, beets, spinach.
asparagus, Ochre, sweet corn, SQuaSheS,
pumpkins, water and musk melons, etc,
all from Texas grown seeds.
From all of this well know that Texas
grown garden seeds are first-class, and that
therefore, as you intimate i'll late article,
Texas might become a very great seed sup
plying state. | would suggest that some of
our Pecos county farmers try seed farms on
their irrigated lands, arranging in advance
for sale of their product TO the great seed
houses of the country. c. 4. HOGAN.
Ennis, Tex.
We are entirely satisfied that Texas could
soon build up for herself a fine reputa-
ton as seed producing section. Of course
irrigation would make the seed producing
business most profitable, as it would admit
of regular succession of crops throughout
the season, still there are many species and
varieties that might be successfully pro-
duced without irrigation. The greatest
thing for seeds, according TO Mr.. James j.
Fl. Gregory, the scotsman, is TO have dry
atmosphere at time of ripening and harvest.
That we would have

WILL TExAs SOIL WEAR OUT.

According to the American AgIicult-
| urist, one foot in depth of a fairly good
agricultural soil contains 1000 pounds of
phosphoric acid 5000 pounds of potash: H.
600 pounds of nitrogen and lime, magnesia,
soda, chlorine, sulphur. and silica to afford
food for all the crops which these three
elements can feed per acre. After farmers,
by careful and skillful cultivation, have eX
hausted all this great store of plant food in
the uppermost foot of this soil. which will
require several centuries, will the soil be
exhausted? asks the writer. Not at all. is
his answer. As the land is gradually
changed into vegetable growth. and the
surface is removed as farm crops. as 1t graGu-
ally deepens. the subsoil which contains the
very same elements becomes fitted for
plant food. And thus the imperishable
nature of matter applies to the soil. which
can never be exhausted during all the ages
which are to come. All that mankind has
TO do is to use the arts, under the instruc-
ton Of science, to develop this latent fertil-
ity of the soil, and to go on feeding the hui
man race until the end. if an end ever shall
come when the earth will no longer exist
as fit habitation for mankind.
Then there is another matter to take into
consideration with special reference to our
Texas soils. AS rule they are not what
could be termed drift formations, like the
great drift formations further East, for
instance. They are made up from decom-
position of our own underlying rocks.
These rocks finely broken are thickly mixed
with our soils, and the same decomposition
that made the soils in the first place is con-
stantly going on. It is almost if not quite
rapid enough to restore annually to the
soils all the clements annually taken Off by
our crops, hence Texas soils can never wear
out. They may be more or less exhausted
of such elements as are not directly applied
By the decomposing rocks, hence an addi-
ton of certain manureal elements may
vastly improve them, but such very i'm
portant elements as phosphoric acid, pot
ash and lime are here to stay.

CULTURE OF THE PECAN.

VIII YOU kindly give me all the informa-
ton you can with regard to pecan culture
character of soil best suited, the best
methods, etc: also what portions of this
state are best adapted to a grove of this
kinda Do you know of any books that have
been written on the subject And can you
give me the address of anyone who has the
paper-shell variety of nuts for sale, Would
appreciate any information YOU might give
me through the columns of THE GAZETTE.
Fort Worth, Tex. GEORGIAN.
If YOU have q file of THE GAZETTE to
which you can refer you will find, by be-
ginning about six months back, several
rather exhaustive articles on the subject of
pecan culture. We cannot now give exact
dates of issues in which the articles ap-
peared.
The best soil for the pecan is the alIuvial
along our rivers and creeks. If these soils
are exposed to occasional overflow it viii be
all the better for the pecan. Such soils are
entirely well adapted to pecan groves any
where in the state outside of the long-leaf
pine belt along the Eastern border The
pecan succeeds very well in this pine belt,
but appears to do better further west
The best method Of starting grove is TO
plant nuts where the trees are to stand, as
transplsnted trees are understood to not do
so well as the others.
We know Of no one at present who has
the paper-shell nuts for sale As yet there
is no book on pecan culture, but we under
stand that the United States department at
Washington, d. c., will ere long issue
bulletin largely devoted to the subject.

COTTON CULTUREIS rENas.

The author of prize essay on cotton cult
ure, appearing in Texas Farm and Ranch,
says blowing in u culture of the crop should
be shallow and further from the plants at
each going over. The dirt may be thrown
towards the plants TO cover up small weeds
and grass if the plants are strong enough
to bear it. In this thing of blowing de-
ponds much so far as relates to an advance
or retarding of the crops. The writer con-
siders il very injurious to cotton to stir the
ground while it is wet and heavy-better
wait until it is in good working condition.
BY thus waiting YOU will be able TO accom-
plish four times as much, and invaria bly,
with better results. In his opinion farmers
would do better to abandon 4 part of the
cotton crop rather than plow all in wet
weather. 1t spoilS the cotton and seriously
INJURIES the land.
His experience favors frequent blowing
in time of drouth. II the Top soil becomes
dusty and dry, keep plowing-vou are
forming mulch for the land and crop. 1t
may be hot and dry on top, but beneath you
will find moisture. The essentials for good
crop are thorough preparation of the soil
before planting. and TO be kept in this condi-
ton by constant and well applied cultiva-

The chrysalis referred TO encloses the
larva of pretty little insect known TO ento-
moiogists as the Archippus butterfly. said
chrySaliS is not far from the size of 4
medium sized pecan and not far from the
same shape, with the exception that one
end is considerably larger than the other
color, greenish tint marked with numer-
Gus black dots and with conspicuous band
of gold running around the point of largest
circumference, near the upper end. When
found it was attached to some plant by a
small short thread extending from the
center of the largest end. causing II TO hang
smallest end downward. The larva, or
caterpillar, before going into the chrysalis
state, fed upon a wide range of vegetation,
indeed did not appear at all particular as to
what it fed upon. If it was in great num-
bers it would be classed among our injuri-
Gus insects. but on account Of its compara-
tive rareness it is not so classed.
OF course in this case The worm had
nothing to do in that work of beautiful con-
struction and decoration, for it is a chrysa

full nevertheless, yet that hand which
