Good Farming.

Mr.. j. J, (Cagy) Smith, who re-
sides near Independence, planted Is
acres of land in corn, cotton and
sweet potatoes, and with, say 500
paid for hired help, raised and har-
vested 700 bushels of good corn,
and IL bales of cotton, the lightest
of which weighed AT pounds-the
heaviest $40. He has one acre in
sweet potatoes that promises a
heavy yield; and in addition to this
he made considerable money off his
watermelons. He always raises
enough meat for family use. That's
what we call good single-handed
farming.

the fourteen-year-old daughter of
W. b. Whiddon, living near Ken
NEVILLE, one night last week, says
the Bellville Times, was given pre-
iminary hearing before Esquire
Prouty last Tuesday. The evidence
against the negro Is all circumstan-

him out, without a possibility of
doubt, as being the criminal. His
bond was placed at $3.50, in default
of which he was returned to jail to
await trial by the next term of the
district court.

with the characteristics of the mule.
As long as we have the negro and the
other fellow with US, we had better let
the mule stay.
But for the progressive farmer the
mule lacks one indispensable character
istic; he does not reproduce his kind.
He is foaled. lives, labors and dies and
that is the last of him. The horse in 9
sense is immortal. If he dies to feed
the buZZards, he still lives in his projeny
reiuvenated and improved, capable of
making his mile in less time than be-
fore, and of serving his lord and master
indefinitely. Even more than that; in
place of the one that was, we have the
result of his multiplication in numerous
offspring. The unproductive mule
must die lntestate, leaving behind only
material for the compost heap,
and in the minds of men a
recollection of his labors and
vices, and we must send to Tennessee
for his successor in Office. The progress
sive farmer must have provocative
beast, that when he dies, or becomes
Superannuate, leaves substantialto kenS
of his usefulness to take place. In this
day of sharp competition the farmer
must make every edge cut" He can
cultivate crop after crop, reap the
harvest and haul 1t to market
with team of mules With team of
mares he can do all these things as
well, and raise at the same time with
little additional expense and labor
crop of colts, which, when fully ripe,
may be sold to reinforce weak purse.
Properly handled by the right sort of
men. mares are more profitable than
mules on farm.

A Good Sheen Doc

Here is true story of a Vermont
sheep dog which Scotchmen will find it
hard to match: Capt. c., of Brad
ford, had a shepherd dog which was
accustomed to bring home the cows at
night, always separating them from the
other cattle. and never allowing any but
mich cows to come up. One day Capt.
c. accompanied the dog in driving
the COWS to pasture. At one place on
the road the captain was surprised to
see the dog desert the herd and take to
the woods by the side of the road. The
captain went on with the cattle, which
were walking briskly in advance.
Within a quarter of mile they came to
break in the fence, OF which the cap
tain had no knowledge, leading INTO a
field; and here, in the gap of the fence,
sat the dog in matter-of-fact way.
guarding it against the entrance of the
cattle. What else could his master sup
pose than that the dog was aware of the
cap in the fence. knowing that the man
would bring up the cattle, made de-
tour through the woods to the place, to
prevent the cattle from going into the
field?

Rain and Bugs in England.

A cable to the Boston Herald from
England SAYS:
While people in Texas are encourag-
of grumbling Englishmen are eXasper-
ated at the folks here who bring about
such result. They have some little
excuse, as being wet through every day
for seven weeks is apt to produce an
Irritating effect upon the temper and
nerves. A fellow of the Royal society
writes to the English papers as follows:
Recently in Great Britain we have had
three very considerable rain producers:
first, the ten days artillery competition
at ShOeburyneSS; second, the artillery
competition of four or FIVE DAYS in Scot
land; and, lastly, the exchange of COM
plimentary saluteS between our neigh
borS across the channel and our
selves, few days ago, during which a
considerable amount of gunpowder
was consumed. 1t must be borne IN
mind that in our moist climate the ma
terials OF rain manufacture are always
ready to hand, and far smaller power
is required here to produce rain in I'M
limited quantity than in America, even
in places far less arid than midland
Texas. TO add to the sum of miseries
inflicted upon them by the continued
rains, the English farmers are now
pestered with an insect known as tile
mustard bug and the army worm, which
owes its name to the fact that its move
ments are made with all the regularity
and in the formation of masses which
are characteristic of a military advance.
Apparently, the wet weather which
has been experienced, not only in this
country but In Europe, is favorable to
the multiplication OF these insect pests.
In the champagne country phyiloxera
are playing havoc with the vines"

TRUSTS IN TRAFFIC.
Interstate Commerce Agent
Kretsehmer Begins a New
Crusade.
Traffic Officials Not Alarmed,
Believing Conviction to
Be Impossible.
Chairman Walker Announces
Decisions on Western
Traffic Matters.
Midgley Will Try to Settle a
Rate War--Routine Of
the Roads.

CHICAGO, Sept. est is reported
that Special Agent Kretschmer, of the
interstate commerce commission, has
begun a crusade on railroad traffic or
CARNATIONS, with view to having them
pronounced illegal by the courts. The
first blow, it is said, will be struck at
the Trans-Missourl association, and the
federal grand jury at Topeka will be
asked to indict Chairman Smith and
cry traffic man who is member of
the association.
The contention of Special Agent
Kretschmer is that combinations for the
regulation of railway traffic are in the
nature OF trusts, and in contravention
of the interstate commerce act He will
also try to prove that the pooling of
traffic is not the least of the offenses
committed. The traffic officials here
are apparently not alarmed by The re-
port. They do not believe such move
can ever be successful.

A General Purpose Horse.

This kind of horse is sought for by
many, yet obtained by none, says the
Horse Gazette. Strictly speaking, a
anything that horse is called OH 10 do
1t is impossible, in the nature of things,
for a horse to be so constructed
that lie can do everything. A
horse to be general pur-
pose horse should combine all the
qualities of a runner, a trOtter, a PAGER,
a roadster, cOacher, a saddler, a
hunter and draft horse, also ladies'
driving horse and children's pony.
The greatest value in a morse comes
from his possessing some particular
quality, or combination of qualities, in
the same line, and the ability to do one
thing and do it we'll. The better
adapted horse is to do one thing the
more valuable he is.
The view that farmers takes of gen.
eral purpose horse is one that will be
heavy and strong enough to do all the
work Oh the farm and at the time COM
bine enough speed to make good road
horse, both single and double. No
doubt such horse is valuable on a
farm. We have seen some that would
work with any horse Oh the farm,
draw two tons singly OH good road,
and then, with rest of a day or two,
get out on the road and travel eight
miles an hour and mile in three min
utes. or better. Such horse is an
ideal farm horse for most Eastern farm
ers. Not one farmer IN a thousand
owns such horse and not one horse in
100000 can do that. The general pur-
pose horse as found on the farm is
nearly worthless in the great markets.
They are too light for any draft work,
not fast enough for roadsters, nor large
enough for coaches. and so they are
sold for 500 or S125 to go on the street
or grocery wagon. Put 200 pounds,
more weight on him and he will do for
draft work and bring twice as much
money.

DECISIONS BY WALKER.
Western Traffic Matters Sifted
and Settled

CHICAGO, Sept. 23.-Four decisions
by the board of commissioners of the
Western Traffic association were given
out to-day by Chairman Walker. The
first denies application for reduction of
minimum weight on fruit shipped in
refrigerator cars from $4,000 to 10000
pounds. The second sustains the
action of the Western Freight associa-
ton asking the committee to change the
classification of sewing machines set up
to third class, minimum 10000. The
third sets forth that the Southern Paci-
fic and the AtchiSon roads acted In vio-
lation of the presidents agreement IN
withdrawing the leather traffic between
California and Texas from the jurisdic-
ton OF the Western Traffic associa-
ton, and that the rates on such
shipments should be at once res
tored to their former basis. The fourth
opinion authorizes the Northern Pacific
road 10 establish rate of so cents per
100 pounds on material for the construc-
ton of merchant marine vessels from
Pittsburg TO Tacoma, with the under
standing that if the rate is found to be
applied on other material or is likely to
involve similar reductions to other Pa
cific coast ports the tariff thus author
lied shall be forthwith withdrawn.

A Typical Sugar Beet.

A typical sugar beet is conical in
shape, smooth in its external contour,
with a white, solid interior, weig hing
about one pound. and having content
of sugar of about "a per cent. If you
wish to experiment IN growing them,
we would suggest that you send to the
department of agriculture for seed.
Then, as you succeed in growing beets
that are apparently close to this type,
send them to the department for anal.
ysis. The result will indicate the pros
poets for attaining success with the in
dustry in your region. 1t will require
about $50 factories of the capacity of
those now in operation in California
and Nebraska to supply our own needs,
so there is room for wide distribution
of these, and there is a wide extent of
our country adapted to this industry.

SHELF NOTES.

The importation of sheep from across
the sea, both to Canada and the United
States, will be larger than those of any
previous year. Many of the best sheep
shown at the English fairs are to cross
the Atlantic in time for the fall fairs on
this side.
The Sheep Breeder and Wool Grower
truly says that there is nothing else on
the farm so helpless as flock of fresh
ly-weaned lambs in hot weather in a
strange field. They are full of wonder
and terror at the loss of their dams and
the strangeness of the situation: they
scamper and hustle at every motion;
they crowd into the fence corners in the
heat of the day. They ought by all
means to retain the field to which they
were wonted for few days before the
separation, there ought to be feed
troughs which they had learned fear
lessly to approach with their dams, and
these troughs ought to be left standing
in the exact place to which they are ac-
customed. Let them have an old crone
or two for companions. Be sure that
they have ready access to shade and
water. If it rains good deal they will
not need water oftener than every
other day, but in dry weather they will
need it every day.

Bacteria.

"What are the bacteria in milk and
cream that we hear 50 much abou
lately" This query was propounded
by an Iowa correspondent to John
Gould, an eminent authority on all sub
jectS pertaining to dairy matters-his re-
ply was: Bacteria are minute organ
lsms that exist in earth, air, water and
all substances of vegetable character.
They fall into milk during the
process of milking and Dreaming the
milk, and there multiply with great ra-
pidity, and result in sour milk, bitter
cream, etc. They are the active agents
that rlpen cream and give butter flavor.
They do no damage TO milk if controlled,
before thickening, and the cream
churned before it becomes en-
tirely sour. Heat kills them. cold
hinders their development, but
neither moderate heat nor cold
kills their spores, and so the bacteria
are always al hand to do their share.
There seems to be a kind for every
stage of ferment, one kind following
the other, until the microbes of putre-
faction complete the job Of destruction.
Microbes are not dangerous to the
dairyman who milks, creams the
milk and churns the cream when
he should, nor need they dismay
the alert cheese maker. The trouble all
the time is in delay and neglect, notably
in the care of the dairy utensils, delay
in working up the milk, cream and the
like, when the microbes get the mas
terry, and bring loss. When under con-
troll they are benefit, and have pos
tive, beneficial action in the curing of
cheese, ripening of cream, and the pro.
motion of desirable tiavOrS."
