Insect Killing.

In many sections OF the state grass
hoppers have been very troublesome
and many devices have been employed
for their determination. One of the
most effective plans is to poison them
with arsenic. They are lured
to suicide by mixture OF
bran or corn meal in which is mixed
an effective dose'of arsenic. But it
has been foudd that the effect of the
poison has been further reaching than
intended. Birds as well as hoppers
are attracted by the mixture and eat
iug it, die the death, so that the cure
is as fatal as the disease. 1t is well
known that birds are the most de-
structive enemies of insects and the
destruction of birds means an increase
of insects. The war against grasshop.
pers with poison has been fatal to
many turkey, as they pick up the
poisoned hoppers and soon turn up

Irrigation and Cultivation,

L am ia receipt of Is communication
from Col. w. W. Haupt of Kyle de.
scriptive of a new method of planting
rowed crops, having for its object the
conservation of moisture in the soil.
Unfortunately it is rather too lengthy
for publication in detail in this col
unn and a summary must suffice.
The idea is too keep the soil moist and
the feeding roots as undisturbed as
possible during the growing period.
To effect this object in the case of corn,
broad ridge feet wide under which
a deep furrOw has been previously run
is thrown up and the corn planted in
a deep trench or turrow at the base of
the ridge, so that the corn is planted
deeply in the ground in rows 3 feet
apart with ridge between. An in.
terval of feet is allowed on the level
to the base of the next ridge so that
the corn will be divided by spaces of
3 and 6 feet, equal to feet apart over
the. field. The 6-foot space is to he
cultivated with any horse implement
and the foot space with a hoe.
Mr.. Haupt claims that such an
arrangement will greatly assist the
crop as the ridge of soil being undis.
turbed by blowing will furnish a good
moist feeding ground for the
plant roots and the 6.foot
space will admit of more
light and air than the equidistant

CREEPING MALARIA.
Insidious and stealthy in Its Approach,
Deadly and Unyielding in Its Grasp.

The onset of malaria is often so
very insidious that it is quite difficult
to detect the nature of it until after it
has fastened itself thoroughly in the
system. Malaria often will poster a
person for months without making
him sick abed, but making him genu-
inely miserable - creeping rigors,
coated tongue, appetite changeable,
and many indescribable sensations OF
genuinely disagreeable kinds. Chills
and hot flashes of very irregular dura-
ton and recurrence come and go with
out seeming cause. The hands and
feet are usually cold and clammy and
the general tendency is to dryness and
GOODNESS of the skin of the whole body
Among the symptoms to which this
class of patients are liable, but always
present, may be mentioned neuralgia
headache, nervous chills, hysteria,
sinking or faint spells, distressing pal
patation of the heart, defective eye
sight, total inability to read, write, or
do any business, urine abundant with
out color, and loss of flesh. Melan-
cho'y feelings discouraged, listless
state of mind, surely indicate the pres
ence of malaria. This form is called
malaral biliousness. For this walk

Pe-ru-na should be taken as directed

will convince you of its wonderful

SENATOR COKE is slightly mistaken
in attributing the hard times or de-
preston in the money market to the
contemplated repeal of the tariff.
There are other potent causes. The
minor one is that every locality is be-
ing drained of the monthly current
money to enable families TO go to the
Columbian exposition, but the main
reason is that the people who have
money are fearful that half dollar in
silver will be legislated into a parity
with q dollar in gold, and they are
boarding their money to await the
important issue. OF course this is an
unnecessary uneasiness, for the Demo-
cratic party will never attempt to
legalize the debt paying value of a
corrupt currency. Their traditions
as we'll as the honesty of their prin-
ciples are inexorably opposed to dis
honest methods in politics. However,
there is plenty of money in the coun-

rows and in additionfacilitate harvest
ing. Mr.. Haupt is thoroughly prac-
tical, and yet scientific farmer, and
anything that he stamps with his au-
thority must be treated with respect.
Had the new system come under my
notice without his brand and mark on
it, would have been disposed to pass
it aside as the vision of theorist, but
coming from the b. ain of Mr.. Haupt
am prepared to believe there is more
in it than appears at first sight. 1t
does, however, seem to me that the
system is open to objection on account
of increasing the cost of cultivation
through the hoe agency. Hoe culti-
walton is the best of all, but it is too
slow and expensive for corn and cot
ton. For garden cultivation the new
system would seem to be better
adapted, and should be given trial.

JOHN HANCOCK

BY the death of the Hon. John
Hancock Texas and also Austin loses
one who for nearly half century has
been an honored and a valuable citi.
zen. A sketch of his eventiul life is
given elewhere and need not be re-
peated here. The shadow of a
great aflilction has been cast over him
for the past two years aud he has
fallen out of the daily life of our
city. But as he will be remembered
he will stand forth as a man of great,
strong and original thought; a lawyer
profound and able; a citizen broad
gagged and progressive, man es'
teemed and honored by all. Thus,
one by one, the lights that burned in
Texas dawn and early life are

MIR. c. WOOD DAVIS of the New
York Sun deserves the gratitude of
every wheat raiser. He asserts that
wheat production can not keep pace
with the increase of population and
that wheat some day will be worth g
a bushel. Over production in any
thing has-always been an unmeaning
word with us, for while one man, wo-
man or child is barefooted there can
not be an over production of shoes.
While family has no wheat bread
on the table there can be no over pro-
duction of wheat. Over production is
one Of those emergency words born of
high tariff where markets are limit
ed and manufactures tired of trading
jackets shut down. MIR. Davis may be
right, If every family is supplied with

Seeding Peaches.

From time 10 time 1 have pointed
out the mistake into which many fall
in planting Seeding trees under the
impression that they will thereby get
better trees and finer fruit. Writing
on this subject DR.. Ragland, writing
in Farm and Ranch, says the Seeding
peach craze is now becoming popu-
lar fad, of which some nurserymen
are shrewdly taking advantage. 1t is
held by the promoters OF the scheme
that we can get better or more thrifty
trees that will live longer than such
as are grated or budded. NV, it is
perhaps correct to say the tree may be,
more vigorous or healthy, but this
does not by any means prove true in
every case, and when we come to con-
slider the size aud quality of the fruit
there is no comparison be-
tween that obtained from tree
propogated by grating OF budding
and the Seeding. We in the first in
stance get with absolute certainty the
kind of fruit produced by the tree
from which the scion was cut; while
from the seed planted the rule is to
get fruit inferior and quite diverse
from the p4rant tree, The variations
from the original are so great that we
cannot tell anything about what type
we shall get from the seed planted.
Now there are indeed few kinds
that reproduce with tolerable certain
ty; as examples, the indian and blood
the white Heath and Columbia or
yellow Indian are familier types. Of
course there can be no objection to
planting seed to develop new types c..
varieties, but to plant seedlings tn

miles west of Kingsland yesterday
evening about o'clock r. V. Clear
mans little daughter, aged 8 years, was
accidentally shot and instantly killed
by a bulldog pistol in the hands of
her little 6-year old brother. The
little fellow had extracted the deadly
weapon from a trunk and playfully
told his little sister he would shoot her

entered the left temple and in few
