Sparkling Of the same county. The
ceremony was pronounced at noon
by Rev. Mr.. Clintock Of Akron. The
sun had dispelled all the clouds Of
the night before and shone bright
ly, and the company present wit
messed a very pretty wedding. The
bride is a teacher, who is much
loved, and the groom u young farm
er Of sterling qualities and fine char
ac,er. The bride wore a blue
gray serge with white surah
trimmings and orange blossoms
and presented a handsome

The pupil who ia working hard is
a little more deserving Of advance
ment than the one who does not,
even If his grade is no better. There
is an educational value in tho abili-
ty to work we'll. Therefore, the
s.ulu haJits OF the child should be
graded and made equal to any one
branch in determining fines for pro-
motions. Ifteachers do not find too
much difficulty in estimating these
study habits we would advocate its
introduction into all the schools.
We believe that il would be better
for the teachers Of the counties
to elect the county super
intendents and then for The
county superintendent to elect the
state superintendent than for those
two Offices to he elected by parties
as they now are. This would take
the political phase out o fcounty and
state educational matters.

progress-so long as there is, farming Will
remain a business at which comparatively
few people can get rich. The Spectator or
other business man who encounters heavy
losses from time to time is very apt to wind
up as a failure. These losses to the farmer
from periods of drouth are in the same
boat with losses TO the specnlator Really,
when You come to think of it. farming must
be the best business in the world, much as
is said TO the contrary, for no other branch
of business could meet with such losses as
the farmer is ever and anon having thrust
upon him by drouths and yet continue to
live
OF course it is not possible for every man
to irrigate, owing to existing conditions
that may prevent it, but it would be posi-
BILE foF many to irr1gate vino are not now
doing it. All such men viii get at it, sooner
or later, and then we shall have new or
der of things. There will be built upon US
another class of "bloated bond-holders, .

lows holding the bonds.

should be deeply broken and thoroughly
palverized in either case. Sowing in fall
gives US a good winter pasture, and the
pasturing appears to work no damage TO
the grain yield. The quantity Of seed sown
TO the acre must be governed largely by the
character of the land. On good, rich land
from two to two and a half bushels to the
acre is enough, but on thin lands more seed
will be required. The stand will depend
mainly on the quantity of seed sown, as
barley does not tiller to such an extent as
does wheat. This estimate is for broad
casting Sown with a drill so much seed
would not be necessary.
Great care should DE exercised in the Sc
lection Of seed barley, else one may not get
safe article. If it has dark reddish
color ii is apt to be more or less damaged.
Good seed should be of pale hue, lively
and uniform.
Barley is both potash and phosphate
plant, according TO Professor killebrew,
therefore our prairie lands of Texas are
well adapted to its growth. It is crop
that yields largely to the acre. In his
report for 1890 as commissioner of agri-
culture Mr.. L. L. Foster puts down the
average yield of barley per acre in Texas as
almost double that of wheat, and consider
ably above the average yield for the entire
United States.
The United States department of agri-
culture reports the six-rowed barley as the
only variety grown in Texas, as yet. The
average yield is commonly put at about
forty bushels to the aere-entirely above
the average of the other barley-growing
states thrown together.
These facts ought to carry something of
interest for parties who, making run over
Texas out of the barley season. and not sec
ing the crop, conclude that Texans know
nothing of barley, and therefore ought to
have instructions relative to growing it.
Already Texas ranks as barley state, to
some extent, and in point of yield stands
entirely ahead of all averages outside of
her boundaries. Some Texans may not
know how to grow barley, but once give
them to understand that there is money in
the crop and most of them will soon learn
the art. The Texan who knows how to
grow wheat in Texas will not find himself
much off so far as relates to growing barley
in Texas.
