A LESSON IN MANNERS.
Uncle Theodore Has an Encounter wit
Farmer TumbIedown

Uncle Theodore Has an Encounter with
Farmer Tumbledown.
AT one of the farmers institutes.
Theodore Louis, the veteran teacher
of hogology, had been relating to an
interested audience of farmers how he
bred, fed and marketed his hogs, Civ
ing minute details of the work, tending
brood sows' cooking squashes, clean
ug out the pens, supplying bedding
and everything pertaining TO the bust
ness. As he came down from the plat
form farmer with un<empt hair and
beard, slouched hat, greasy froclx and
overalls, the latter tucked into a pair
OF dirty, coarse boots, met him and
said:
''Mr. Louis, do you pretend TO say
You feed your own hogs?"
"oh, yes! When / am at home"
And clean out the manure?"
Certainly" said Mr. Louis. with a
smile.
We'll" said Farmer Tumbledown.
with sheer when a man with "a stiff
hat, black suit of clothes, "a gold
chain and shiny shoes tells me he
feeds hogs and cleans out the pen, I
don't believe him"
This rather nettled the good-natured
champion of improved Swine hus.
bandry," and he said:
my friend, did you learn ANYTHING
new OF me, to-day?"
"Oh, yes" said Tumbledown. "all
you said about breeding and feeding
was good, but l don't believe n man
who dresses like You ever feeds hogs. :"
There was an interested group of lis.
teners gathered by this time. and. with
a twinkle in his eyes, Uncle Theodore
said:
Now, my friend, let me teach you
something else. If you want men to
respect you and your calling. you must
show some respect for IL yourself You
ought 20 have enough ambition and
self-respect so that when you go 20
town or 20 attend an institute Won
would black your boots. put on de-
cent suit Of clothes and clean your.
self up"
The crowd seemed TO appreciate the
situation, and Tumbledown had bust
ness som ewhere else
II is not the farming but IL is farmers
like Tumblcdown that cause some
people TO speak lightly OF farmers
There is nothing in the business of
farming that needs to make a boor OF a
man. The day is passed when dirty
hands, greasy clothes and muddy boots
are to be accepted as an index OF occu-
patton. Colman's Rural World.

NATIONAL SMELLING COMPANY
Four More Furnaces Added at Monterey,
Making the Plant the Largest in
the worId-Its Capacity.
Special to the Gazette

MONTEREY, Mex, March Sol Gug-
genheim, president of tide great National
smelling company, authorizes the state
ment that his company will immedi-
ately add four more furnaces to its
smelling plant in this city, Roasters for
the treatment of sulphide ores will also be
added. When completed this plant will be
the largest silver and lead smelter
in the world, and will smelt 500
tons Of ore daily. The total daily railway
tonnage to and from this smelter, including
coal and coke and the bullion prod
uct, will run up to 1900 tons.
Heretofore the producers of sulphide ore
were obliged to seek foreign markets, but
the construction of roasters here
will place Monterey on an equal
basis with Denver as an ore
market. President Guggenheim further
stated that these improvements will be
completed by May 10, and that they are
made necessary by the extension
of the Monterey and Mexican
Gulf railroad into the Sierra Mojava
mineral district, the construction Of which
will be commenced at an early day. In an
ticipation of this extension the great Ma
tioual smelling company recently secured
control OF severa. large mining properties,
producing fiuxiug ores at points tributary
to the line, and it is now working nearly
one thousand miners on these properties,

CHESTNUT on OUR PRAIRIEs.

Do you think the common wild chestnut
could be made a success on our black waxy
prairies2 l am arranging to put out some
trees from a Northern nursery where the
common chestnut is kept in stock, and if 1
thought the tree would grow here l would
order hundred chestnuts. Please answer
through THE GAZETTE of next Sunday
Dallas, Tex. A. c..
We don't think the chestnut would do
well on the prairie lands of Texas; indeed,
they do not appear able to make much out of
It on prairie lands anywhere. A correspond
ent of the Prairie Farmer, Chicago, says
of the chestnut in recent issue of that pa
per:
know it well, having been raised among
its Incompatible groves. But I grieve to
say 1t won't grow on our prairie soil.
! have had it on trial over
forty years, and know of probably
fifty others who have attempted its cul-
ture and they all made miserable failure
Of it. II will disappoint whoever attempts
It. In its native habitat it is a m2rvelously
rapid grower, tall and straight, rivalling
the pine. Here it grows very slow, short
bodied about three trees to a rail cut,
with spreading top like an apple tree, never
YES over eight or ten years, and never
reaches over six TO eight inches in diam
eter. The bark bliehts and dies like our
most tender apple trees. To this there is
no exception. I have had trees bear few
nuts, but they won't grow. They are sick
and it makes me sick to see them. The
chestnut naturally grows on ridges of
sand and gravel of great depth, where the
heaviest rains quickly disappear and re-
turn by capillary attraction keeping a rea-
sonable amount Of moisture ever present /
Such a soil would doubtless grow them
here.
We think this applies to the prairies of
Texas about as well as it does to the prairies
of Illinois. The chestnut might succeed on
our open, gravelly soils, but not on the stiff
and close soils of our prairies.

THE BEST MELoN.

What variety of the watermelon do YOU
consider best for marketing either on our
home markets or to be shipped North2
Please answer through The GAZETTE, and
much oblige many INTERESTED.
Arlington, Tex.
What we saw of the melons in Texas last
year strongly established US in favor of the
Cuban queen. The largest and finest
melons we met with were of this variety,
and on account of their great size and beau
tiful shape they invariably went off on the
market like hot cakes, and at good prices.
It's undoubtedly the largest-growiug melon
known, while, at the same time it is a
melon of entirely fair quality, and one that
well bears shipping to long distances.
The Georgia rattlesnake variety appeared
TO be next best for market and shipment
among the melons grown in this port ion of
the state last season. It is melon of fair
size, and about the same as the Cuban
queen as to quality. Ships very well, but
not quite so well as the Cuban queen be-
Ing very long in shape it has greater sur
face exposed to bruising.
The Kolb's gem has heretofore been a
very popular melon in Texas, but from
what we saw of it last year we are led to
the opinion that it is rapidly running out.
We could never recommend the Kolb's gem
as a market melon in face of the fact that
we have other varieties so much better
