Watch the Cheap Lands

The General Land Office of Texas if
getting ready to sue for the recovery OF
more than 100000 acres of school lands
which revert TO the state through the
failure Of purchasers to make their pay
ments OF interest.
Most of this land was bought in the
first place by Spectators whose money
didn't hold out. Their holdings We g
d ,ciared forfeited some years ago a, d
the land resold to actual settlers. TIE
suits are, therefore, brought to quiet
title, but they serve as reminder that
Texas still has millions of acres OF coed

Low Price of Grains.

The December returns of the depart
nent o. agriculture deals in statistics
showing the average prices OF grains
compared with other years. The pric, s
OF all the cereals are very low, many ui
them the very lowest on record.
The value of corn is 81 cents per bush
el, whitk Is six cents lower than the
average of the years 1890 to 1892, and 23
cents less than for the decade 1880 to
1880.
The average plantation price of cotton,
Dec. l, WAS lao cents lower than last
year notwithstanding that the indca-
tions for the current years crop are un
favorable.
The average price o. wheat is 81
cent per bushei, tie loves. on record.
The next lowest price in the % years,
1870 % 1893, was G45 cents in 1854. The
average for the 10 years, 1850 to iSs? was
ST.. while for the three years. 1899 To
1882. was 1G6. The decline from the
average OF The three preceding years,
two OF which, viz, 1891 AMI 1897. record
the larges: yields in the history OF the
country, is 2l5 or 81 pc; ceut.
The price Of rye is 5.2 lower than the
average for ten years. Oats are Ii lower
in price than the average of the last de-
cade. The average farm price OF barley
is the lowest on record.
The uniformly lower prices OF farm
products is not without significance. II
the yields OF last year had been unusu-
ally large, andtae 2. os acts for the next
crops were fiattering these figures would
mean Ices: but such is not the case; for
tie whs yiel'Is in 1891 and 1892 we're
the i.r&, . in the history Of the country,
yet present prices are 2i.5 cents lower
than during those years of abundant
yields. There issomething wrong. Sup
ply and demand seems to have ceased to
regulate prices The hands OF the con-
tractionists and the option gamblers are
falling heavily on the producers.

Agricultural Electricity.

An interesting example OF electricity
as applied to farm work is now in opera
tion at a Scotch farm. The whole of
the usual farm machinery, such as
thrashiRg, sowing. corn thrashing. ana
the like, is here driven by an electric
motor. The electricity is generated by
water power, the turbine wheel which
drives the dynamo. being about Loco
yards from the farm. The electric cur
rent is conveyed by underground wires
to the house and farm, in each OF which
q storage battery is placed. These sup
ply the electric current for lighting and
motive purposes when the machinery is
not working. The whole OF the mansioI
is illuminated by electric light. and an
electric motor is provided for pumping
the water for domestic purposes.-Scien-
