establish beyond question the truth of
the charge made against Gov. Hogg OF
rabid hostility to railroads and de-
termination to crush them out OF ex-
istence if possible, but 1t shows an
utter disregard of the Interests of the
people of Texas individually aud COL
lectively. The Val Verde suits
brought into question the title OF ~
100000 acres of land scat
tered all over Texas, most
OF it held by actual settlers for which
they have paid their good money and
UPON which they have by dint of labor
placed many milliods of dollars in
improvements. The state claims Que
twentieth of these lands and the
governor says if he is reelected he
will make the railroads aud the people
disgorge. Suit has been instituted in
Wltchi.a county by Attorney General
Culberson seeking to recover from the
Houston and Texas Central all the
lands granted to it by the state,
amounting to about 100000 acres,
much of which has been sold
to actual settlers. Since this
suit was filed it has been impossible
for these people to obtain loans on
their lands and as a result further i'm
provement has been stopped indeh-
nitely. It's impossible to estimate
the damage to Texas directly and in.
directly growing out of these suits.
Not satisfied with the deadly stab at
the material development of the state
contained in the alien land law pass
ID by the regular session of the leg
islature-a law which cast suspicion
not only upon the people of Texas
but upon the validity of the stocks
and bonds of every corporate institu
ton in the state which owned
land even for business purposes; so
determined was Governor Hogg to
"bust" the corporations that he hest
tated not to strike down the homes of
large number of Texas people in
order that he might bring the railroad
corporation to his feet. The Fort
Worth Gazette in giving history of
the legislation relative to the central
land subsidy raises the point that
should the state be successful in
Wrestling these lands from the rail-
road they would noS be subject to
no nestead location as article 1886 OF
the revised statutes excerpts from such
disposition of lands held under color
Of title from the state" The settlers
then could not pre-empt the lands
after the railroad is made to "dis-
gorge" but would be the prey of the
land shsr ks who hold certificates on
thousands of acres of Texas lands and
who stand ready to pouuce upon every
acre recovered by the state. This is
the state of things brought upon us
by our present governor. Could mad
ness go further2 Are the people OF
Texas to be robbed of their HON es
that the governors hatred
of railroad corporations may
be appeased? 1t is time to appeal
to Conservatism 1t is time that men
who have cast their fortunes with the
empire state of the South come for
ward in solid phslanx and demand
that the inveterate and indiscriminate
war on our land titles shall stop. 1t is
no time for compromise or finching.

COMFORTS FOR SERVANTS.

Certainly the hardest working woman
in the house should have at night as
comfortable bed as anyone, but very
often this is not the case even in lux
urious houses, springless cot being
thought good enough for the girls
room. Though in city home, the
room of the maid of -all-work is small
hall bedroom on the top floor. This
may still be neat, even fine IN its ap
pointments, with dainty spreads, con-
venient toilet articles and whole look
ing-glass. There should be bureau of
some description, with draw reserved
for her towels and bed linen, so that she
need not call on the mistress for these
things common enough in the rest of
the chambers, but luxuries here. A
very good way to appreciate a girls
WEAKNESS by those who seem never to
dream that she can get tired, is to try
some day to take her place. After get
ting thoroughly tired out with half the
work undone, the mistress begins to
understand what day after day of do
mestic toll means. When on Tuesday
an ambitious girl is hurrying to COM
plete large ironing in one day, it is
hardly fair to call on her repeatedly to
do something else, as often happens
when there is only one servant.-Detroit

COWS IN WINTER.

Feed to considerable extent deter
mines the quality and quantity of the
milk and butter. 1t does not pay to
keep COW on half ratiops and hardly
get good milking at any time during
the winter. In most cases both the milk
and butter are Of more value during the
winter than at any other time, and
generally enough more to make it worth
while to give the COWS good treatment
during the winter. They must be fed
enough to live, at least, and they ought
to have enough to keep them thrifty, as
there is no advantage in letting them
run down during the winter and then be
obliged to take the best part of the
spring to make up what has been lost.
A little additional feed will not only
keep them thrifty, but in many cases in-
sure good flow of milk, and this i'm
plies profit rather than a loss, as is so
often the case when the COWS are fed on
the plau of barely keeping them alive
through the winter. st. Louis Repub-

AN ELECTRIC INCUBATOR.

A novelty in the Matching of eggs has
appeared in the shape of an electric in
cubator. The special feature of this
machine is that the heat of the egg
drawer is automatically regulated to the
fiftieth part of a degree Fahrenheit. 1t
consists of tank incubator, heated by
radiation from the bottom of water
tank, which is constructed on the multi
tubular system. When the egg drawer
reaches the temperature of 104 degrees
Fahrenheit an electric thermostat con-
meets dry battery with an electro-mag-
net which actuates damper, allowing
the heat to escape through the open air
instead of passing through the fues of
the water tank. This entirely automat-
ic device is said to effect saving OF
thirty per cent. in the fuel used for heat
ing.-Boston Transcript.

PLANTS FOR WINTER.

The fall is the time for preparing
those plants that are chosen to brighten
the home with LEAKAGE and bloom during
the winter. The first point to be con-
sidered is the choice of the plants.
Young breathing plants are always to be
preferred rather than those that are ex.
hausted with blossomipg during the
summer. 1t seems almost heartless to
leave tall, thrifty plants to the mercy OF
the frosts, but not only their prolonged
blossoming has weakened them, but
their rapid growth under summer suns
has rendered them less hardy. Feeble
plants should never be taken into the
window garden unless 1t be to save some
favorite species.
Examine the earth carefully and see
that it is free from insects and grubs. II
is good plan to put panfuls of loamy
the oven, and bake it half an hour.
This will kill all insects, and when
the earth is cool is is ready to use. Cut
off all water-soaked roots, and then pres
the earth firmly around the plants, usins
always the common red earthen pot
with separate saucers for each pot.
Keep rcpotted plants in shady plac'
for week or so, until the roots are vel
settled in their new homes. Do not lie
these plants bloom for month or two
but pinch off all buds, that the strengt
of the plant may be concentrated in th'
roots, in order to produce aew, vigor
Gus growth of branches.

TO PRESERVE PEPPERS.

Take mixture of red, green and ycl-
low peppers, cut off the tops and remove
the seeds, throw them into brine suffi-
ciently strong enough to float an egg,
and stand aside for twenty-four hours;
then drain and wash them, put the pep
pers carefully into stone jars, sprinkle a
layer of salt over each layer of peppers.
When the jar is full put two or three
cabbage leaves over the top, then a
small saucer to keep them in the brine
stand in the cellar until needed. The
day before you wish to use them take a
sufficient number from the brine and
soak them over night in cold water.
They may then be stuffed with mixture
of meat and rice or rice and tomatoes

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

Hens that are crowded will not lay.
Hens will not lay when shivering with
cold.
Do not change all the old hens for
young pullets.
Dispose of any old hens you do not
wish to winter.
The size of the sheep should be gagged
to suit the pastures.
Cornmeal and bran with milk is a
good feed for ducks.
The manure from the pig is valuable
in proportion to the food consumed.
Use nothing but pure bred males, no
matter how your focks may be made up.
Fruits and flowers have been rightly
called ''chlldren of the light woven from
sunny air"
Bear in mind that the sooner the hens
pass the moulting season the sooner they
begin laying.
Do not risk too many focks together.
Small flocks carefully tended will give
the best results.
You cannot afford to buy all your
home supplies, no matter how big crops
you grow to sell.
No one can afford to buy manure un.
til ne has first made use of every pound
produced at home.
A small herd of cattle we'll fed will
pay better than large one that just
"pulls through"
Young hens and the early pullets will
bring more money now than as "old
roosters' next spring.
During the winter it is quite an item
to arrange so that the fowls can have as
much sunlight as possible.
What is good sheepf It all depends
on what the sheep is wanted for and the
man who takes care of it.
Stick to the breed that you have done
we'll with. Improve aud build it up
rather than let i: fall back.
When sheepman finds occasion for
grumbling it would be we'll to quit the
business and try something else.
Give the young pigs plenty of succu.
lent food. A slop made of bran and
potatoes makes an excellent food.
No mercy should be shown to the dog
that rushes out and barks at a passing
team. He should be shot at sight.
If you have no extra feed do not buy
lot of stock this fall because 1T is
cheap. 1t will be dear Ito you) before
spring.
Do not wait till you are obliged to
give full winter feed before you begin
to add anything to that gotten from the
pasture.
If the fowls get too fat give them
some grain not rich in carbc -hydrates.
Oats as single food will tend to
lessen the fat.
If you have late Matched turkeys i
will be well to see that they do not gel
out into the grass until the dew is of,
even though the sun is bright.
Using ewes that have borne twir
lambs, raising young ewes from twins
and using rams that were twins, have
given good results in increasing the pro
iiciency of the focks.

during the winter those with gay-colored
blossoms need all the sunlight they can
have, and for them south window is
the best. A southeast window is the
next most desirable, then western
window, while a north light is worst Of
all.
There are few plants, like pansies,
primulas and cornelias, that like the shade
and thrive in northern light, and a north
ern window is useful to place blooming
plants in from time to time, thus pro-
longing the short life of the sprays OF
flowers.
The best success in indoor plant growth
comes from a uniform temperature OF
fifty to sixty degrees at night and from
sixty to seventy-fve degrees during the
day. A higher temperature is only needed
by semi-tropical flowers.
Plants not only need a cooler tempera-
ture in the night, but also darkness, and
it is neglect of this fact that is one of
the causes of the lanky growth of house
plants. Shield plants with newspapers
in the evening if the gas in the room is
lighted. The paper will keep both heat
and light from the plants.
Another cause of spindling growth is
lack of air. Plants shut up in the house
get sensitive, and are liable to suffer If
there is sudden fall in temperature,
but if they are given plenty of fresh air
daily, unless the day is very lnclement,
the plants will thrive and be sturdy.
Do not open a window directly on
plants in winter weather, but rather let
the fresh air filter in more gradually
through distant door or window.
Plants in windows should be turned
once or twice week. A fine form,
which is half the beauty of plant, can
not be attained without this. Plants
should also be shielded from the dust
which arises in sweeping aud dusting
rooms.
A newspaper is suitable to prevent the
settling of dust over them, but this care
is not enough. Each plant must be
washed thoroughly and frequently to
keep its pores unclogged, for plants
breathe through them. They cannot
grow if their means of inhaling carbon
and exhaling oxygen is taken from them.
Showering plants over tub or sink is a
good way to remove dust, but hold the
plant sidewise, so both sides of the
leaves will be reached by the water.
Large plants which cannot be easily
moved should have their leaves washed
gently with sponge on both Sides

The IIo.saead.

It has been suggested that as skins
and hides formerly did duty as bottles
and vessels for-earrying wine and other
liquors, the hogshead or hogshide was
originally barrel of the same capacity
as liquor containing vessel made of the
skin or hide of hog. Others think it
may have been "oxhide" from which the
word was derived. AS the Dutch and
Scandinavians called this kind of cask
by some equivalent OF oxhide, there is
some probability that this may be the
true origin of the word.-House Fur
nishing Review.

CHEMISTRY or THE BAKED Potato.


Usually the first vegetable prescribed
by the physician for the sick person wno
is beginning to use solids is baked
potato. A baked potato, however, may
be no better than boiled unless it be
done in so high temperature that the
starch is affected. Boiled potatoes
cannot be subjected to higher temper
ature than PIP degrees Fahrenheit.
Baked potatoes may be done in such
a way that they are little better than
boiled-for instance, done in SLOW
oven. On the other hand, If they are
put into temperature of $50 or 400
degrees Fahrenheit, or what is callei a
shot oven" they will be done in such a
manner that the conversion of starch
will in degree take place and the po-
tato be consequently palatable aud easily
digested. Potatoes roasted in hot em.
bers are delicious and for the same rea
son. The high degree of heat cooks
the starch properly, but it must not be
understood that by cooking potatoes in
high temperature the starch which
they contain is all changed into dex-
trine. This does not usually take place
except in slight degree; however, by
the high temperature it is better pre-
pared for this change in the processes
of digestion. Probably what does take
place is sort of hydration of the starch,
resulting in the complete swelling aud
final bursting of the granules. Just at
the moment when this takes place the
potatoes are done and should be imme-
diately taken from the fire and served al
once.-St. Louis Republic.

APPLE BUTTER FOR MARKET.

Why do not farmers who have large
amounts of apples that do not pay for
drawing long distances to market try the
plan of turning some Of the surplus into
apple buttsra 1t requires considerable
labor, as it is branch of manufacture;
but the farmer who has invested labor
in this way is surer to get pay for it
than he is for most of his work on the
farm. As far as possible the farmer
should put the product of his farm in
the form where it will bring him most
money, and if he thereby turns his farm
at some seasons into factory he may be
none the less prosperous York

HOUSEHOLD AFFAIRS.
BAKE BREAD DURING DAYL1eHr.

All kinds of raised bread or cake rise
much quicker in kitchen in the day
time when the kitchen is warm, than at
night, when the fire is out. Therefore
FIVE or six hours in the day are equal to
twelve hours at night. In cold weather
anything made with yeast should be
made early in the evening, that it may
get started to rise before the kitchen is
cold. Some housekeepers keep piece
of an old ironing blanket, kept clean, to
field and lay over the cotton or linen
bread cloth, to keep the bread warm
while rising. boston Cultivator.

TEsr FOR wHoLEsoME MILK.

A good way to tell when to use new
milk from the COW is to bring sample
to boil and if it curdles then do not
use it, but if 1t remains limpid it is all
right. This test should be used always
before sending milk to the factory,
though perhaps it is not so important
