Texaa Sheen Earmera.

Hamilton is one of the foremost WOO
producing counties of Texas. Prior to
and at the time Of the last national
election, most of the wool growers were
ready to swear by G. X. Bell, repre-
sentative in the lower house from that
district, and who promised increased
prosperity to everybody under the be-
nign influence of democratic rule, and
especially to his democratic wool-grow-
ing supporters, by the adoption Of free
trade in their product which, he said,
would increase the demand and raise
the price. But the redoci' n of so per
cent in returns to farmers from their
ranches year after year has had cor
responding influence upon democratic
logic, In democratic ranks, and present
conditions strongly indicate that the
services of the Hon. G. K. Bell, in driv-
ing an important industry out of his
district, will be no longer required at
Washington.

confess to you that this question of
wages is to me the vital question. To
insure our growth in civilization and
wealth we must not only have wages
rs high as they are now but constantly
and steadily increasing. loud ap-
plause from the republican side.) No
applause for this sentiment / notice on
the democratic side. This desire OF
mine for constantly increasing wages
1oes not have its origin in love for the
individual. but in love for the whole
cation in that enlightened selfishness
which recognizes the great truth that
your fate and mine, Mr.. Speaker, and
the fate of your descendants and mine
are so wrapped up in the fate of all
others that whatever contributes to
their progress gives to us all a nobler
future and a higher hope.-Hon. Thos.

Why Wool Is Cheap.

Sales for the week, 1,328,000 opunds.
The market is quieter than at any
period in the last ten years. There is
simply no demand for wool. The total
sales Of domestic wool in the whole
month of February amounted to but
$780, 900 pounds, and March starts In
with week that is phenomenal in the
liliputi; lie of its transactions. In
Februar 1893, which was fair aver
age four ~ 8, the total sales OF do
nestle were 100000 pounds. The
market is in curious position.
The small sales are not due to any
inherent weakness in wool. On the
contrary, as noted last week, the ter
rible loss Of sheep by the fiery weather
of Australia points to a diminished
worlds supply. 1t is on this account
quite as much as on account of the
failure to protect American woolens
by congress that foreig. wool markets
have advanced so sharply. The trouble
comes solely from lack CT demand for
wool from the American mills.-The
Commercial Bulletin, Boston.

Wbey-Fed Pies.

Some OF my neighbors, the nearest
me included, say they can get no value
tut OF whey and don't think enough of
t to draw 1t home, but 1 know there is
some money In it when 1t Is rightly fed
% pigs. Last year kept IL early pigs
litter they were weeks old wholly on
whey till Sept. /, when they weighed
lot less than 125 pounds each. Before
that time they were with the mother
md were given besides her nurse lit
lie grain each day. When / took them
away from her and began giving them
lothing but whey, they did not weigh
much above 30 pounds each, but sup
pose call It 40 pounds. This would
give gain of S5 pounds, which, at Sc
per 100, the price get for
hem, would leave gain of $50 per
pig, or total OF $62.20. which is 1920
more than l claim credit for. You see,
here ia money in whey so fed. | can
show you now eight pigs that until four
weeks ago have had nothing but whey
since they were month old, and they
are fully as good as those had last
,ear at this time. l don't propose to
cave my whey in the factory vat for
others to draw away just so long as
ian get such value from IL when fed
20 pigs. When It comes to feeding 1t to
calves, however, pass. don't want
any whey-kept calves in my stables
either to raise or sell.-Cor. Hoard's

Horse Breeding.

In recent issues of agricultural
papers l have noticed a number of COM
munications regarding horse breeding
both In favor of and against 1t. The
idea seems to prevail that heavy draft
and coach horses are In the greatest
demand and bring the highest prices,
and men who have studied the situa-
ton say that the demand is certain to
increase faster than the supply, es-
pecially for several years to come. Any
careful observer will agree with the
men who hold those views. and Is 1t
not also true that there is an ever in
creasing demand for light horses Of the
right kind. BY that / mean road horses,
not 2:20 or 2:30 horse necessarily, but
gentleman's driver, horse weighing
from LOO to possibly 1000 pounds. of
good conformation. style and action,
not knee action alone, but also hook,
such as we find in the Hackney.
In last weeks issue Of the Farmers
Review, noticed an article written by
an Iowa man. and signed 20. d." in
which he speaks of the high prices re-
ported from some Chicago sales, and
also of the low prices farmers are COM
PEELED to take. AS the editorial re-
mark" states, those horses are not gen.
orally just from the farms.
If we would study the characteristics
of our ideal horse. whether he be a
draft, coach or road horse, and breed
mare possessing as many Of these
characteristics as possible, to a good
stallion of the same type or breed, we
would be reasonably sure of producing
an animal having more or less of these
good and desirable qualities. The
trouble with too many farmers Is that
they look at the serv'oe fee of the stall
lion. when that sn,u.d be a secondary
matter.
Pardon me for relating a little per-
sonal experience. Last May I had
team ready for the market. and as 20.
D." says, the buyers wanted to buy as
cheaply as possible, but I had my price,
which was $3.50 each. I sold one to the
dealer at that figure and they sold him
In Chicago to eastern buyers for $3.50.
He was road horse of the style have
described and weighed 1,1S0 pounds,
and possibly could not trot mile under
31s or minutes. / sold the other two
weeks later to private party at the
same price. They were full brother
and sister, and the latter weighed LIPS
pounds.
Their dam was good road mare, and
she was bred to stallion whose breed
ing traces back to old Justin Morgan.
He was splendid horse, weighing
about 1900 pounds, and stood at $25.
Many tried to persuade>me from breed
ing to him on that account, as they
said there were others just as good for
half the money.-W. O'Brien, in Farm
ers' Review.

| Young fruit trees are very apt to be
injured during the winter by mice and
rabbits gnawing the bark. This is
especially true If the orchard has been
neglected during the summer season.
A heavy growth of grass or weeds
about the trees make excellent nests
for mice during the winter, and where
rubbish heaps have been allowed to
accumulate in the orchard, especially
II 1t Is near a forest, rabbits will al
most invariably congregate. Under
these conditions the young trees will
almost certainly suffer from the raw
ages of one or both Of these pests. 1t
is important, therefore, that this mat
ter be attended to at once.
There are various remedies recon-
mended for these evils; the first and
| most successful of which is clean Guilt
walton. If this has not been followed
| then remove all loose mulch, dead
grass and rubbish of various kinds
from the immediate vicinity of the
base of the trees. This will destroy
the nesting places of mice, and will go
far towards protecting the trees from
injury. Then, in addition to the
above, make smooth, compact mound
of earth, a foot high, about the base of
the trees, just before the ground
freezes. These two precautions will
be all that is necessary to insure pro-
lection against mice.
Rabbits are not so liable to injure
trees where there are other small
plants, such as young grape vines or
nursery stock in the immediate vicin-
ity of the orchard, as they seem to de-
light in cutting off the young tender
branches in preference to gnawing the
bark of older trees. It is always safe,
however, to protect the trees, and a
favorite method is to wrap the trunks
with closely woven wire screen, such as
is used for screen doors. This may be
cut into strips eighteen inches to two
feet in length and wide enough to
completely encase the body of the tree.
These may be tackled on or the edges
woven together, and If they do not
fit too closely may be left on for sew
eral years. Instead of the wire screen,
ordinary roofing tin is sometimes used.
Sheathing paper is also used with good
effect, placed on the tree in a similar
manner. If one is located near
slaughter house, very convenient as
well as effectual method is to wash the
trunks of the trees with blood or ran
cid grease. This, however, is liable to
be washed off by rains, land would need
renewal several times during the win
ter. These and doubtless other rem
edies will prove effectual if properly
applied. BY giving this matter imme-
date attention, much damage to the
young orchards may be prevented.
