TEXAS CROPS AND WEATHER.

BAIRD, CALLAHAN COUNTY, June ~
Wheat is now being brought in and sold by
he farmers at a good price. Kahn is now
needed for the corn and cotton. some say
that even without any more rain the corn
will make an average crop, and in some
places it Will yield twenty-five bushels per
acre.
Floyd, Hunt County.-Crop prospects are
Just as fine as we could ask for
ALEDo, PARKER COUNTY, June 90
Wheat in this section of the country was
never better than it is this year, and the
threshers are knocking IL out very fast. The
Weld is from twelve to thirty bushels to
the acre and it will average about twenty
bushels TO the acre all over this part of
the country. +. NJ, Watson threshed 3Of
bushels of Of ten acres, which is about
thirty and one-half bushels per acre. That
is the largest yield per acre we have
heard of yet. Now, if the Panhandle farm
ers cen beat this, we would like to hear
from them, for this is as good a yield as
we have seen in this country in long
time. The spring CROPS look very well,
considering the dry weather we are having
just now. Corn and millet are needing rain
very badly, and if it doesn't rain soon the
yield will be cut short, and the prospect
now for rain is not very good. Cotton is
not needing rain very much yet. Henri
ClOgenson is loading two cars this evening
with baled hay for the Eastern market.
He has been making hay here in the Hig-
bene pasture every year for several years.
BURLEsoN, JOHNSON COUNTY, June 90
Our farmers are very busy now threshing
out their immense crop of grain. which is
turning far above their anticipations.
Wheat is averaging about twenty bushels
per acre-some run as high as thirty. Oats
nre fine, too. The first car of oats was sold
to-day to Slepinson & Goldsmith of Al
varado by F. J. Booth at 80 cents. One
good rain would secure US a fine corn crop.
Cotton is doing WELL and this section has
bright prospect at present.

Exerct.. That Children Need.

DR.. Ferdinand Lagrange, who has writ
ten valuable book on exercise in child
hood, says that for years past alarm has
been felt by those charged with the educa-
ton of the young In France, because
children have lost the taste for exercises"
This he attributes entirely to the sinister
predominance of the schoolmaster in mod
err child life. The denial of natures
rights in respect to play is followed by an
urfailing Nemesis in the form of Ill health,
or what is perhaps still worse, by gradual
adaptation to circumstances leading to q
joyless child-poor, fabby, languid youth, a
stunted, stagnaut maturity and prema-
ture old age. 80
How, then" he asks, "are children to
be made good animals?" BY the fullest
possible development of their bodily pow
ers. How is this development to be COM
passed? Adapting Danton's famous say
ing, 1 answer by exercise, by exercise,
and again by exercise. There can be no
dispute about this. The only question
is as to the form and amount of exercise.
The period of childhood may be taken as
extending from the age of two or three
years up to puberty. Now what is wanted
at this stage is not so much the acquisition
of muscular strength or skill as a solid
foundation Of general health. In child
hood exercise should be almost exclusively
general or hygienic; indeed, am inclined
to think that the less purely local or ath-
letic exercise a growing child has the bet
ter it will be, not only for its constitution,
but for its future muscular development.
Very young children should be encour-
aged to run about, to trundle hoops, or if
at the seaside to build castles, etc., on the
sand-in short. to play and romp instead
of dawdling. In the way Of systematic ex-
ercise for young children there is nothing
better than the kindergarten movements.
For older children no methodical exercise,
however scientifically arranged, can COM
pare with the boisterous outdoor games
which bring every muscle into play, lash
the heart into gallop and mako the vital
bellows-the lungs-blow the fire of life
into glow.-New York Post.
