FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

FARM AND GARDEN NOTkSs -
Have at least one low wagon on tha
farm. ' - g
Frosted food soon loses its nutritive
qualities. ., ~
Land too steep for cultivation may be
made good pasture. IS
There is not enough attention paid to
the selection of seed. 7
A COW was not made to trot. The COW
gait is walking one.
Calves should have yard where they
can exercise themselves every day.
The manure of a well-kept animal goes
far toward paying for winter keep. #E
After calves learn to be held 1t does
not take long to teach them to lead.
Have everything ready for work -
soon as the frost is out Of the ground.
Under all conditions young animala
make the gain in proportion to the food
eaten. ~
Study your farm. No one else ought
to know its needs and capacity as well
as you. .ls
Calves reared on skim.milk can readily
be made to make very satisfactory
growth. ...
It is better to give scrub thorough
bred care than thoroughbred animal
scrub care. e
When calves are overfed it upsets their
digestive organs and loads up the system
with injurious matter. -;
Much should be applied wherevct
needed, and also give extra covering to
fruit and vegetable pits.
Increase in weight with cattle is most
cheaply secured with good pastursge
during the growing season.
For scurvy or itch in calves, mix tur-
pentine, sulphur and linseed oil and ap-
ply twice week until cured.
No heifer given scrub care until she
becomes d mother will make the COW
she would, had better treatment been
given.
With rotation comes knowledge OF
how to produce other crops, and hence
mixed farming is practiced by the best
farmers.
A small, thrifty tree, with good roots
when set out, will be good bearing
tree sooner than large one with mua.
lated roots.
1t is rarely profitable to feed grain to
yearling steers on good pasture when
thew are not to be marketed until an
other season.
Winter prices for the products of the
dairy and poultry yard have been such
as to encourage everybody who can do
so to increase the supply.
After a calf raised by feeding is 9
month old it will commence eating
clover hay, aud can always be fed hay
and bran to an advantage.
If good care has been taken in breed
ing and feeding, from twenty-four to
thirty months is the most profitable age
at which cattle should be marketed.
Skim-mllk is capital to feed the calls,
colts and pigs-a great aid TO digestion.
With an abundance OF grain it pro-
notes rapid growth and development.
One advantage in feeding a cali Il
that it becomes so accustomed to han
ding that when the first calf comes she II
usually much less trouble to learn to
milk.
Calves raised on skim milk with some
bran, meal and hay, after they are large
enough to eat it. make very satisfac-
tory growth and prove good beef ami
mails.
When calves are fed literally when
young, they will make large, thrifty cat
tie with plenty of room in their stom-
achs for food and healthy organs Of
digestion. !

TO PREVENT SMUT III OATS.

Sleeping seed oats in hot'water is 6
method by which the greater portion Of
the loss from smut may be prevented and
is the result of last years investigation at
the Ohio Experiment Station. Briefly,
the meth3d is as follows: Have two
vessels, in one of which the water is
warmed to about 120 degrees and in the
other kept as near 1875 degrees as posi-
BILE. Have basket of wire netting or
loose splints covered with cloth, of the
right size, to be put in the cold water
bath and in this immerse the seed in the
cooler bath, keeping it there and stirring
around until all the grains are warm,
then lift out and plunge in hot bath.
where it should remain from eight to ten
minutes, being stirred all the time. Then
remove it and dip into cold water OF
spread the grain out and throw cold
water over it, letting it dry sufficiently
for sowing. The effectiveness of this
method depends on having the water hot
enough to destroy the smut germs which
adhere to the outside of the oats, but not
so hot as to destroy the oat germs. Two
vessels are used because the water In the
warmer one would be cooled too much
if the grain were placed in it immedi-
ately, or it would have to be heated so
warm as to destroy the vitality OF the
seed.-New York Observer.
DOES cHURNINa INJURE TIE BUTTERf
There is too much nonsense written by
ignorant persons about the character OF
milk and cream and the effect of churn-
ing, and many persons are led astray
thereby. The butter globule is too small
for any mechanical injury to happen to
it. The average size of these globules
is one -thousandth part of an inch in
diameter, and, consequently, taking four
per cent. as the average proportion Of
butter in the milk, there will be not less
than 100, 1000, ,00O,0OO of these globules
in the cream of one quart of milk. of aver
age quality. The smallness OF these
particles is such that they cannot be
broken up or changed in any way by the
mechanical effect of the churning or any
other process through which the cream
is put. The only ill result on the butter
is by improper working. and this does
not in any way change the form or char
acter of the fat globules, but it may press
them together more closely, just as clay
is made sticky and adherent by working
it when it is wet. And when the butter
is plastered by drawing the ladel over it,
instead of simply pressing this on it the
effect is not to break these globulcs but
to draw them together and squeeze out
the moisture, aud so make the butter
salry and sticky, instead of preserving
the grain of it.-New York Times.

The old way of executing criminals in
Spain was to tie a cord about their necks
and then twist it with stout piece of

death. The present system is consid-

public at large has but slight concep-

One night last July a party OF three
hundred miners went to the Tennessee
Coal Company's mine, where the work
was being done by convicts, and de-
manded that the latter be taken away.
The guards, being few in number and
unable to offer resistance, removed the
convicts from Briceville to Coal Greek,
and the officers of the company called
upon the State for aid, which was
granted. A few days later an armed and
organized body of miners. Pr least a

arrest Of apoplexieS when all they need is
what this giant Of my text resorted to-an
iron bedstead.
Let no one think because he has great
strength of body or mind that he can afford
to trif1e with his unusual gifts. The COM
mercial world. the literary world, the artis-
tic world, the political world, the religious
world, are all the time aquake with the crash
Of falling giants. King Og no doubt had
throne, but the Bible never mentions his
throne. King Og no doubt had crown, but
the Bible never mentions his crown.
King Og no doubt had a scepter, but
the Bible does not mention his scepter.
taken up in describing bis beistead. SO God
all up and down the Bible honurs sleep.
Adam, with his head on a pillow Of Edenic
roses, has his slumber best by divine gift
of beautiful companionship. Jacob, with
his head on pillow Of rock, has his sleep
elorified with a ladder filled with descending
and asceniing angels. Christ, with pillow
made out of the folded up coat OF fisher
man honors slumber in the back part or the
storm tossed boat.
In Bible times, when people arose at the
voice o, the bird, they retired at the time
the bird puts his head under his wing. One
of our national sins is robbery of sleep.
Walter Scott was so urgent about this duty
OF slumber that when arriving at a hotel
where there was no room to sleep in except
that in which there was corpse, inquired II
the deceased had died Of contagious disease,
and, when assured he had not took the other
bed in the room and fell into profoundest
sluenber. Those Of small endurance must
certainly require rest if even the giant needs
an iron bedstead.

they confront some sort of q giant. Had not
the lsraelltish host had trouble enough al

the giant Of the iron bedstead. "Nine
cubits was the length thereof and four
cubits the breadth of it." Why not let these
Israelites 60 smoothly into Canaan without
this gigantic opposition? Oh, they needed
to have their courage and faith further
who, in our time, in his march toward the
Promised Land, does not meet more than
one giant. Do not conclude that you are not
on the way to Canaan because Of this OBJ
stacle.
AS well might the Israelites conclude they
were not on the way to the Promised Land
because they met Og, the giant. Standing
in your way is some evil propensity, some
social persecution, some business misfortune,
some physical distress, Not one OF you but
meets q giant who would like to hew you in
twain. Higher than eleven feet this Og
darkens the sky and the rattle OF bis ouckler
stuns the ear. But you are going to get the
victory, as did the Israeites. In the name
Of the God OF Moses and David and Joshua
and Paul, charge on him, and you Will
leave his carcass in the wilderness. You
want battle shout!
Take that with which David, the five
footer, assailed Goliath, the nine-footer;
when that giant cried, with singing con-
tempt both in manner and intonation,
"Come to me and will give thy flesh unto
the fowls Of the air and to the beasts OF the
field" and David looked up at the monster
Of braggadocio and def1antly replied: "ikou
comest to me with a sword, and with
spear, and with a shield; but come to thee
in the name OF the Lord Of Hosts, the God OF
the armies of Israel whom thou has deded.
This day will the Lord deliver thee unto mine
hand, and I will smite thee and take thine
head from thee, and will give the carcasses
of the host of the Philistines this day unto
the fowls Of the air and to the wild beasts
Of the earth, that all the earth may know
that there is a god In Israel" !,
Then David, with probably three swlrls or
the sling about his head, got it into sufficient
momentum and let fly till the cranium OF
the giant broke in and he fell and David
leaped on his carcassa one foot on his chest
and the other on his head. and that was the
last of the Philistine. But be sure you get
the right battle shout and that you utter it
with the right spirit or Og will roll over
YOU as easily as at night he rolled into his
iron bedstead.
Brethren, have made up my mind that
we will have to fight all the way up to the
Promised Land. I used to think that after
awhile would get into time where 1t
would be smooth and easy, but the time does
not come and It will never come In this
world. BY the time King Og is used up so
that he cannot get into his iron bedstead,
some other giant of opposition looms up to
dispute our ways. Let us stop looking for
an easy time and make 1t thirty years
war, or sixty years. war, or hundred
years war, if we live solong.

order to put this matter before the

direct communication with st. Louis
and Kansas City on the north and
with Houston and the Gulf on the
south and east. BY the terms of the
above proposition, we can secure the
road for less money than we could
ever have done in the past or than we
are likely to be able to do in the
future. Twelve years ago when the
same road wanted to come to Austin
we did not meet their requirements,
with the result that Taylor became
it's terminus and Austin has ever
since realized and regretted it's mis-
take. -Four years ago when Bastrop
determined to secure rail-
road connection and Austin
remained inactive, a movement was
inaugurated which resulted in the ex-
tension of the road twenty miles to
the east of us, and the trade of Bas-
trop and surrounding country was lost
to us. And now, for
THE THIRD TIME.
we are offered an opportunity to &c.
cure the road, and at time when,
above all others, we need an increase
of our railroad facilities. If we are to
utilize the power to be produced by
the dam, we must have more rail-
roads. Without them manufacturers
cannot avail themselves of the adj
vantages we are so hopefully prepar-
ing, and the very success of that enter
prise itself depends upon just such OPP
portunities as the present. The ne
cessities of the case besides appeal to
every business man and property
owner in our community. Railroads
perhaps ought to come to us unbought,
but they won't do it, like any other
investment, and
OUR QUESTION NOW is,
are we willing and ready to invest in
a connection with the Missouri, Kan
sas and:Texas at the price offered? Can
we in justice to our business and our
property, refuse to do so? If
not, then we must act at once. The
