thority.
Catarrh is the cause gilmore diseases
than all other causes combined. There
are very few diseases to which human
flesh is subject that cannot be traced
directly to catarrh. Not only is
catarrh capable of producing a great
variety of diseases, but it also attacks
any organ or part Of the body. 1t
causes in the ear deafness, in the
eyes blindness, in the head and
throat discharges and offensive odors.

disease, in the stomach dyspepsia, in
the pelvic organs host of deranee
ments too numerous for mention. Pc
ru-na cures catarrh and all catarrhal
diseases, Wherever located. Pe-ru-na
is systematic remedy, and hence
cures catarrh of internal organs as
surely as it does catarrh of external
organs. as no local application to the

SUN SCALD.
The death of fruit trees in Texas is
very generally attributed to sun
scald; that is the scorching of the bark
on the side of the tree exposed to the
early evening sun. This fact or the.
DRY Is challenged by j. l.. Mum in
Texas Farm and Ranch, who contends
that the damage done to the tree is
not caused by the summer sun, but
by the winter frost.
He gives it as his opinion that the
mischief is caused thus: Where the
sun shines two or three days very
warm on the southwest side of fruit
trees in winter, it causes the sap to
start up that side of the tree. Then a
cold spell Tor norther) comes up sud-
denly and kills the tree on the south
west side, or rather freezes or chills
the sap, and the tree dies on that side.
The freeze does not kill the bark. The
bark is green until the hot sun of the
next summer dries ii up for the want
of sap to support it, but you suppose
it was killed the Year before
and you only found it out the
year afterwards when you find bark
dead look and see if there is not new
growth started. If you have any
young trees in good condition, set
when the top does not protect the
body, you can protect them with a
board, brush or vines on the south
west side in winter. Let the sun
shine on the body in summe, if you
wish and you will have no dead bark
on southwest side from sun scald or
freeze
This is a new doctrine, but has
about it some of the elements of FEAST
bility and is worthy of investigation.
EUROPEAN HORSES.
French breeders pay attention to
the development of long distance
trotters, horses that can keep their
gait for ten or twenty miles at a
stretch. The nearest we come to this
is our road horse, and for that we are
not breeding very steadily toward a
distinctive purpose. There is more
practical utility in such animals than
in mere short distance trotters, and
we believe it would pay to give closer
attention to producing them. Next
to draft horses there is no class for
which there is a better demand at
payin prices than for good roadsters.
Hanover is admitted to possess the
most uniformly good breed of horses
of any country in the world. The ex-
PLANTATION of this probably lies in the
fact that the government long since
lent its encouragement to breeding,
establishing a government stud as
early as 1885. The Hanovarian cav
airy is the best mounted of any mill
tary force in Europe, the horses being
large, hardy, strong and courageous.
1t furnishes a striking example of the
result of thorough and persistent
work in breeding.

LONG STAPLE COTTON.

LONG STAPLE COTTON.
A correspondent writes asking the
result If my experiment with South
ern Hope long staple cotton. The ex
pertinent is not complete, as L have
still about 500 pounds of cotton tt
pick TO complete the second bale off O.
three acres; and have not sold my
first bale. All going well 1 expect
to wind up the experiment in a few
days go far as the yield goes.
AS 1 reported some time ago,
found the cotton a strong, rapid
grower, apparently well adapted tc
our black prairie lands. AS my patch
was not planted till May 10th and
was completely stopped in growth by
worms in August, 1t must be clear
that it had not a fair chance. Just
before the worm visitation the yield
promised much over bale to the
acre and with an average season and
no causalty would have made it.
AS it is, two bales from three acres

fulness. The bolls are of medium
size, and seeds mediums; easy to pick,
but not by any means storm proof,
though nearer than many others.
The lint is very fine and
silky, but in my case
little or no longer than the best OF our
ordinary cotton. This abbreviation
in lint may, think, be attributed to
the checked growth Of the plant at
the very time lint was forming. In
order to make sure that had the

known Mississippi planter, who has

The conclusion have formed so far,
is that Southern Hope will make as
large and as profitable crop as any
other variety, even if the staple does
not attain standard length. And
further, that | see no reason why the
staple should not reach the standard
if planted at proper time and with the
advantage of an average season. L

WHY RAISE THE RAzOR-BACK?
The long nosed, ridge backed hog,
vulgarly known as the razor back, is
generally held up as the emblem of
worthlessness in animated nature,
and pure cussedness in general. This
is the opinion of nearly all who have
been accustomed to the massive frames
of the Poland china and Berkshires.
Such new settlers always protest
against the folly, as they term it, of
to put flesh on the "bag %
bones" which serve as hog in many
portions of the state.
A story is told of such settler adj
vising native who replied:
"That's all you know about it

crudeness only went to show more
fully the virtue of the design. 1t is a
small and inexpensive attachment
and can be placed on the side of the
regulation drawhead with little
trouble. The test was exceedingly
thorough, coupling being made slowly
and with hard thumps by the engine,
but every time the link was securely
held in position until the pm fell, thus
making the connection complete. The
design is simple, but il seems to fill
the bill in all respects, and THE

tion of time when it will be univers.

ence In the morals of the trans actions
whether man bets on the turn of q
wheel or puts up margin for stock
transaction. Both are gambling, pure
and simple. If it is right to bet that
a certain stock will advance within
thirty days, 1t is right to bet on the
turn of card or the stopping of a
wheel. Let us be consistent and either
legalize all gambling or none. Buy
ing stock outright for an invest
ment is all right, but for every trans
action of this kind there are scores, if
not hundreds, of those alluded to
above. There is more real gambling
done by the exchanges-stock and
produce-than in all the gambling
dens in Christendom; and more men
are ruined by the former than the lat
ter.
THE ROAD PROBLEM.
The national campaign Just closed
hinged chiefly on tariff reform and in
creased silver currency, two subjects
deserving grave consideration and
wise handling. In the heat of battle
mere state and local issues were neg
lected. Governors, senators and leg
islators have been elected to office alb
solutely unpledged to domestic
reforms. This neglect of state inter-
ests is to be regretted. While it was
right to be enthused over the election
of national reformers it was unwise to
neglect state and local mat
tiers that even more closely
affect the welfare of the people than
those involved in national legis-
latiOn.
AS a matter of fact the subject of
good roads is of more Importance to
the farmer than either the tariff or
free coinage of silver; and yet it is
doubtful If one of our next batch of
law makers has been asked or pledged
to take any action in the matter. The
question of improved roads is hardly
second in Importance to the regulation
of railroads by commission.
Indeed the farmer is more di-
rectly interested in the former
than the latter. The increased cost
of travel and shipment of produce
over bad roads is a heavier tax on the
farmer than any rates levied by rail-
road corporations. This is beginning
to be understood by thoughtful peo-
pie, and furnishes theme for profit
able discussion in every school house
in the country. Our hope for improve
ment lies in the coming generation,
those now on the road to manhood.
The more progressive of our citizens
see the situation, and are willing to
make sacrifices to gain the desired
end; but am afraid that the great
majority are less than half-hearted in
the matter.
They were born in the mud and
have wallowed in it so long that they
have no ambition for any other
line of travel. They say they fear the
cost, while they uncomplainingly pay
more indirect taxation than ever need
5e collected as direct road tax. This
is where education is needed. With
this lesson learnt, the question of how
the money should be raised and how
spent, would then demand attention
and be easily solved; although in our
case, road making is more financial
than an engineering problem.
