D FARMING IFS. EARM WRECK
 ING

Throughout the country farm lands are failing in productiveness. In the Eastern states thousands of farms are abandoned 10 grow up with thorns and thistles. In the middle West there arc few farms as productive now as they were twen- ty or thirty years ago. In the At. lantic states, from Maine to Flori. da, manufacturers of commercial fertilizers tax away all the farmers profits. This deterloraton has been less marked in tle Southwest than elsewhere. In Texas, Ark ansas and Louisiana much of the land IS practically inexhaustible, on account of its depth and won. derful fertility. But the land Tn the Southwest is not all of this character. Neither this nor the next generation need worry them. selves about our river bottoms and black prairies eight to twelve feet of fertile soil is not easily worn out. But there is even here a large amount of sandy loam underlaid with clay-splendid farming land under proper treatment, but capa- ble of degeneration from injudi. cious farming. That these lands can be improved year by year while producing profitable crops has been demonstrated. In fact. no man can be truthfully called a good farmer who permits hls land to run down to such an extent that he must every year buy conner cl fertilizers 10 mature his crops. This process is adapted to what is called ''the gentlemen farmers, :" but it is not the agricultural meth od. The soil should produce its own fertizers 10 mature its own crops. That this can be done by proper rotation, by feeding stock Y, by saving and returning to the soil the manure, has been proven. Clover, COW peas, cattle and com mon sense, is as efficient as all liter atiye. A worn-out field is a scene of desolation and reproach to the owner and manipulator of the land. Such men are not farmers-they are farm wreckers.-Texas Farm and Ranch.

The proclamation of the mayor in another column announces the date Of the election of city officers Too little attention has been paid to the filling of these offices. The city's future rests in great meas. ure with her officers, and her peo. pie should not only select progres' sive, interested men, but should aid and encourage them in their work. Many reforms are needed and will be presented the coming year. So let us be up and doing.

In an article of instruction to Catholic priests the Rev. Dr. Will liam Stang advises priests never to do certain things. Among them are these, which we commend to our preachers: "Never preach on vice, as drunkenness, impurity, theft, cursing; but preach on tenn. perance, purity, honesty, etc. Never mention or allude to indi- viduals, censuring them or finding fault with them. Never resent in the pulpit any personal injury. Never ridicule people, or initiate their peculiarities iu manner or language" The advantage of the first counsel lies in this-it substi- tutos the positive preaching for the negative. 1t comments the virtues whose practice would crowd out the vices. And this is scripture as we'll as philosophy ''Overcome evil with good"
