The Sheep Industry of Texas.

Texas alone possesses about 100000
sheep, or about one-eleventh of all the
sheep in the United States. These sheep
bring into Texas each year about 81 ,000,-
600, which is expended in the state for
feed, herding, shearing, salt, shedding
and the lease of lands. There is a vast
amount of rough lands in Texas now be-
ing utilized in the sheep industry that
pays a good revenue, as the land thus
used increases it's taxable value, and it
otherwise would be comparatively USE
less.
The agitation for a reduction of the
tariff on woods has caused the value Of
the wool products to drop from IS to 20
cents to and s cents per pound-in
fact, to no sales at all-and the value Of
sheep has fallen in proportion. Taking
into consideration the great number
Of men, directly and Indirectly, who are
engaged in this industry and the vast
amount expended annually among all
classes of people, it must be conceded
that the position of the people connected
with this industry is less favorable than
has appeared at any previous time. It is
ruin that Senator Mills is advocating for
his fellow citizens in his own state.

It, that he ought to be ashamed not to
give it, instead Of the dropping, to the

He Gives Good Advice to Vil1iers, the Kings

'Let the foundations of profitable
trade be thus laid, that the expectation
of home commodities be more in value
than the importation of foreign, so we
shall be sure that the stocks Of the king
dom shall yearly increase, for then the
balance of trade must be returned in
money or bullion" ''Let the vanity of
the times be restrained. Let vanity in
apparel and, which is more vain, that of
fashion be avoided"
"The excess of diet in costly meats
and drinks fetched from beyond the
seas should be avoided. Wise men will
do it without law. I would there
might be a law to restrain fools. The
excess of wine costs the kingdom much
and returns nothing but surfeits and
diseases. Were we wise as easily as we
might be, within a year or two at most,
if we would needs be drunk with wines,
we might be drunk with half the COST"
IF we must be vain in laces and en-
broideries, which are more costly than
either worn or comely, let the curiosity
be the manufacture of the natives"
"But instead of crying up all things
which are either brought from beyond
the sea or wrought here by the hands
of strangers, let US advance the native
commodities of our own kingdom and
employ our countrymen before stran-
gers. Let us turn the woods Of the land
into cloths and stuffs of our own growth,
and the hemp and fax growing here into

Do Not Dread the Smoke Now.

About two years ago there was great
outcry about too much smoke from the
smokestacks at Chicago and elsewhere,
and the question was mooted of making
laws to compel the factories to consume
the smoke, as it specked the clothing
while being dried on the lines. But the
solution of the vexed question was solved
in way different from what was at first
expected. A large number of the people
voted for free trade, and the consequence
was that the factories soon stopped, and
there was no further trouble from the
smoke. But now all the people agree that
they want the factories running, even if
they do have to put up with smoke. Let
the factory fires all burn again.

calmly cutting potatoes into bits for you
to take out into the hot sun in baskets
or pailsful, each seemingly weighing
about ton, and drop and drop until you
feel ready to drop yourself with fatigue.
By the time the last of the corn and
potatoes have been put under the ground
the agony Of wedding will begin, for by
that time the carrots will have begun to
peep above the surface IF the tasks that
have heretofore fallen to you have been
hard, those which now confront you will
be atrocious. You will have to go on
your knees half the time, and your fin
ger nails will suffer, and the small of
your back will curd up. To make mat
tiers doubly interesting, there is strong
probability that when you have about
finished the bed your father will examine
the work and explain to you in a dread
full voice that you have carefully pulled
up all the young carrots and left rows
Of young grass blades growing instead.
He will then essay to show you the diff
ference between the two, and he may
seek to apply physical argument for
the clarifying Of your vision.
The same thing will happen all over
again with the onions, but the squashes,
and the tomatoes, and the corn, and the
potatoes, and the cabbages will not
trouble you in that way. You will find,
however, that it is no easy job to keep
them clear Of weeds with the hoe, al
though, as he will tell you over and over
and over again, your father had no
bother when he was a boy of your size
in doing the same work in a garden
twice as big as the one you toll in. If
he were not your own father, you might
be inclined to think him a prevaricator,
80 put it mildly, and it may be possible
that this talk Oh his part will SOW in
your youthful mind the first seeds Of
distrust of humanity that may become
general.
After the garden is safely planted
and Weeded once Or twice the worst of
the work therein is done. By that time
it will be summer, and the weather will
be hot and CRY, and it will be yours to
water the things night and morning. It
will happen regularly that the watering
will have to be done just when you want
to go lin swi1nming' Or playing ball or
fishing, and Of course sooner or later
some day you will forget all about the
garden, and some Of the plants or vege-
tables will wither and die. Then if your
father be addicted to physical arguments
you will wish that the man who invent
ed gardens had never been born.
Another thing that you will have to
attend to carefully, in the spring espe-
cially and to less extent in the au-
tumn, is the protection of the beans, the
cabbages, the turnips and the tomatoes

from the frost. Baskets and pans and
blankets and papers must be brought out
and the things covered at sunset or q
little later in the evening whenever
there is the least indication of a frost,
and you will derive infinite joy from
the occasional discovery by your father,
just as you are slipping away into the
land Of Morpheus, that "that boy has
not yet learned to tell by the sky when
these things ought to be DONE. -
The cabbage plants the cucumbers and
the tomatoes, all Of which were "start-
ed' in a sheltered angle Of the house,
fence or barn and transplanted to the
open garden, must be carefully shaded
from the hot sun for awhile. A good
way to do this is to drive single into
the ground on the sunny side of each
plant. In the morning the single must
be to the southeast Of the plant. By noon
it must be shifted to the southwest, and
a lax memory in this matter will be Of
great detriment both to the plant and
your personal feelings There is nothing
in the world that will more decidedly
add to the fatigue of your father than
forgetfulness on this point, and anything
more easily forgotten cannot well be
imagined by the human mind.
In the fall you must destroy the garden
you created in the spring and have all
summer tended with such assiduous la
Dor. The potatoes must be dug, the pop
corn picked, the cabbages, the turnips
and the carrots pulled and buried or
housed and all the other products har-
vested, each in it's own way. You will
find ''pulling roots' on frosty da::
great fun-that is, if you are not per.
sonally engaged in the pulling, as you
will be. The fingers get red and numb,
the hands chap, and the world takes on
a cerulean hue to whoever engages in this
occupation. There is one satisfaction,
however, in gathering the things they
won't bother you any more till the fol-
lowing spring. All you need have to do
with them in the winter is to help eat
them, and if you are healthy boy you
will do that with great joy.
Maybe you are not boy at all, but a
father, and maybe you have boy of
your own Of the garden making age. If
so, how would it do to remember that
when you were boy you used to think
that if you ever got to be man you
would try some other method as to the
garden, your boy and the work in the
garden than the one I have indicated?

WORKIN THEGARDEN
VEGETABLE RAISING FROM THE VIEW
POINT OF "THAT Boy"

There Is Some Fun In Burning Up Vines
and Weeds, but Spatiing and Fitting Beds
and Wedding and Hoeing and Watering
All Have Their Drawback.
Did you ever help make garden when
you were boy? No? Then you don't
know the cost of table vegetables in
aching backs and split finger nails and
lame arms and broken knees, and it will
do you good to read about it. If, as a
boy, you have made garden, you may go
on to the next column. You have moth
ing to learn here.
The first thing you are ordered to do,
if you are boy and your father thinks
it time to begin on the garden, is to rake
Little Falls weekly transcript. (Little Falls, Morrison Co., Minn.) 1894-19??, 1894-05-18

up the debris of last year. That is al
easy job, and the burning Of the weeds,
and the dead sweet cornstalks, and the
potato vines that comes after the raking
is thoroughly enjoyed by every true boy.
For did not the red men Of the forest,
who lived in this land before the whites
ever heard Of it, burn open air fires I'LL
der the same skies? And is it not posi-
BILE that the Indians may have lighted
more than one councils blaze on the very
same spot of ground as that on which
you are burning up the remains Of last
years kitchen garden? And if your "a
Their does not object and your mother is
not troubled with nerves, can you not
prance about the garden while you are
at work and whoop as near like all abo-
rigine as you know how and have 10 end
of fun?
1t doesn't matter if your whoop does
bear about the same relation to that Of
the son of the forest as the willow
whistles blast does to the hoarse screech
Of the foghorn. You don't know the
difference, and you may add to your de-
light by imagining that the Ratchet
with which you may be instructed to
cut up some old boards into kindling
wood is tomahawk. If your grandfa-
ther is like some grandfathers I have
met, he may declare that the smoke Of
the burning weeds has made you ''smell
like an INDIAN" and for that reason e
desires you to keep away from him. b e
may think it annoys you to be spoken to
in that manner, but if you are the gen.
uine article of boy you will be delighted
with it.
It is the next day that your troubles
begin. Then your father will direct you
to spade up the carrot bed. If you have
never spaded up bed before, don't be-
gin too vigorously. Before the day is
over you may wish you hadn't, for this
work will break your spine square in
two, even if you go at it with delibera-
ton and stop often to rest. If you work
as hard as you can at first, you won't
last half an hour, and when you do stop
to rest it will be for SO long a time that
your father will think you are ''soldier-
ing," and if there is anything, you will
find, that he hates it is that very thing.
Nobody can get along in this world, he
will explain, who once falls into that
habit Besides, if you do too much work
the first half hour, he will gauge your
capacity thereby and will assume that in
10 half hours you ought to do 10 times
as much, and you will find it very dis
agreeable and inconvenient to fulfill his
DESIRES The raking Of the spaded carrot
bed and the clearing it of little stones and
clods is not hard job, but you will
find it one that will require sharp eyes,
and your father will go over the bed an6
discover dozens of pebbles and hare

WASTING TINE.

Senator Villas made a speech In the
Senate yesterday defending Mr.. Cleve-
land from the attack made upon him by
the disgruntled German and justifying
the Presidents action on the tariff ques-
ton.
All this Is waste of time. President
Cleveland needs no defense. and If he
ever did need one 1t has been furnished
by Senator Hill in his humiliation of
Mr.. German. Nothing can be added to
that scathing rebuke that can sink the
Maryland Senator any lower than he
now Ia in public estimation.
Neither does President Cleveland re-
quirc any justification of his action on
the tariff question. His consistent, up
right, honest course Is known to the peo-
pe. No envy, disappointment and NAL
ice can change the record; no eulogy can
make 1t brighter and cleaner than 1t Is.
Every moments time ought now to be
devoted by the Democrats to EFFORTS to
remove the distractions in the way or
final action on the Tariff bill. President
Cleveland record will take care OF
itself, and the country suffers more ana
more while the pledges of the Congress

FIRST BLOOD FOR REFORM.

The result of the police trials mas
agreeably disappointed those who have
seen In them only a source of embarrass-
ment for the Lexow Investigation and a
trick of the Police Commission to white
wash the officers charged before the
Senate Committee with blackmail.
Capt. Michael Doherty and Ward Men
John Hook and Bernard Meehan nave
been found guilty and dismissed from
the police force. Five sergeants and TWO
patrolmen have been suspended from
duty
Capt. Dohertys position In the force
was due to the influence of MIR. Croker
himself and eX-Register John Reilly.
Hook was made ward detective
through the influence of ex-County Clerk
Patrick keenan,. These pulls may
have been regarded as enough to protect
any officer. They were of no avail In
these trials.
This is the beginning of the end. 1t Is
the first practical result of the police
disclosures and gives the Police Com
missioners and Prosecutor Wellman the
credit OF accomplishing the opening tri-
umph in the cause of actual. solid re-
form In the force.

bany. 1t was. Of course, vigorously OPP
posed by the railroad corporations, as IL

that a man whose arm or leg Is broken

II jury may award him, although he ~

lily, while for the killing of IA man whose
family Is left In beggary only hVe thou-

constitutional restriction Is that the mat
ter is a proper subject Of legislation. But
that IL IA paltry subterfuge There IL not

ton who does not know that the railroad
