HEARD ABOUT TOWN.

"Cotton worms have already set
in and in some of our adjoining
counties the farmers are having
their hands full fighting the pests"
said Wilson county farmer to a
LIGHT man yesterday. "If you
have noticed, a week or two
ago the butterflies passed over this
section in Swarms, millions
at a time. The insects be-
gan to swarm one morning
and for a day after myriads of
them came struggling after. In a
few places in our country and, l
understand, along the San Antonio
river, in the southeastern part Of
Bexar county, the worms has set
in, but not to any damaging extent.
In Bee and adjoining counties,
however, the cotton worm plague
has assumed a serious aspect.
"If you want to have an idea Of
the enormous loss to Texas, and
San Antonio particularly, in the
wrecking of the wool industry of
this state" said we'll known citi-
zen, who is perhaps as we'll posted
on wool affairs as any other man,
''you must bear in mind that
in the year of 1884 there were in
this state in the neighborhood
of ten million sheep. At
about this time something like
six million ponds Of wool were
marketed in San Antonio at
prices ranging from 10 to % cents
per pound. Last year there was
marketed here, l believe, only one
and half million pounds,sat the
low price of seven or eight cents
per pound.
81 do not believe with the ex-
treme protectionists that the
tariff question alone was
responsible for this fall
in prices, but / do be-
lieve that the tariff bill
had a great deal to do with it, and
that other causes also influenced
the price, which is now about three
cents under the free wool basis. /
am convinced, however, that be-
fore so very long the market will
adjust itself and wool will then
rise about three cents, or sell at ten
cents per pound, which is free
trade basis. OF course, as soon as
the rise to the free trade basis takes
place, the free traders will throw
up their hats and say: See what
free trade has done; it has raised
the price of wool instead of lower
ing it, And there will be some
people foolish enough to believe
it.r

Car Horses for Farm Purposes.

The advantages to be gained b1

A few days afterwards tried on|
team plowing. The horses seemed
willing enough, but they were a
clumsy as cows, and both of them fel

seemed to get very tired and finall
one of them decided TO quit on mel

matter was that the difference in th|
