Football matters at the university
have at last reached a point where
something is to be done towards get
ting out the candidates for the team.
The manager arrived yesterday and at
noon a mass meeting was held in the
chapel of the university, at which the
various men who are candidates for
the team presented their names, and
they were notified that active work
would begin this afternoon. The old
suits which were used last year have
been stolen by some miscreants, and it
will be necessary to get new lot The
team is badly in need of money, but
several loyal supporters have promised
to help out until the returns from the
games come in.

Much Business Is Transacted without

A majority of each house, under the

by a yea and nay vote, business must
stop until a quorum is secured. But the
members present are empowered by the
constitution to adjourn from day to
day and "to compel the attendance ofab-
sent members, in such manner and un-
der such penalties as each house may
provide" A great deal of business is
done in both the senate and house
when a quorum is not present, the alb
sence of a quorum not being officially
disclosed by a roll call. The sergeant

at social receptions and dinners, but al

SELECTING TIE HOG.
Carein Selecting Parent Hogs of First am
pOrtance,

Carein Selecting Parent Hogs of First lm-
pOrtance.
Ithas been our aim in selecting par.
ent hogs, where we have that priv.
lege, to secure a SOW having three spe-
cialities-proliicness, good as a sucker
and of good disposition. To haze
these qualities she should be rather ON
the rough order. 1 believe many Of
hog ~raisers have been breeding too
fine, or, in other words, selecting the
beauties, says a correspondent in the
Indiana Farmer. Neither do they have
as many or as large pigs, and they are
a great deal more apt to have trouble
when narrowing. The SOW should be
long, especially under the belly
with from 10 to Is teats; not
too short in the neck, nor too
short nosed; both should be medium.
If the o S is too short and thick, they
are 0 apt to show a ~bulldogish dis
position. The ears should be thin, not
so lappy as TO shade the eyes.
Once in buying / had the privilege of
choosing n of two young sows for
breeding. One was a perfect beauty;
the other not near SO nice, but deep up
and down; INchoose the latter, which
made as fine a brood SOW as l ever
owned. The other died narrowing. AS
for the male, prefer him rather on the
fine order, not particularly in the bone,
but in the general makeup. AS for
feed, be very careful not to feed too
much corn at any time, except when
finishing for market. We have seven
young sows this winter, three
full blood Poland, the others
r grades. We feed equal parts
of bran and shorts, mixed to a slop, by
pouring boiling water over it and stir
ring SO that all will be scalded, cooling
or thinning with milk or dish water, if
we have it; if not, we use cold water.
This is mixed fresh every time we feed,
twice daily, what we think they need,
together with two ears of corn to the
hog. From one to two weeks before
narrowing we put each in a house made
~purposely, with small lot or field where
they can exercise. We give them nice
straw, or shredded fodder, on corn
cobs, on a floor just laid on the ground.

Address to Texas Farmers Which Will APP
ply with Equal Force to Others.
The following is the address to Texas
farmers, reported by the committee ap-
pointed for that purpose by the Amer
lean Cotton Growers Protective asso-
citation, recently in session at Waco,
Tex:
ITO the Farmers of Texas: The I'M
dersigned members of the American
Cotton Growers Protective association,
who were appointed a committee by
the convention at Waco, March 8, to
formulate an address to all cotton
growers, submit the following and urge
careful consideration:
1.-THE tendency to plant heavily of
the money crop requires the earnest
thought and cooperation of all cotton
growers in the interest of remunerative
prices. 1t is well known that a heavy
yield of cotton is used to bear the cot
ton market. The reports of acreage
even months in advance of the harvest
are used to hold down the price, and it
behooves every cotton grower to join
with his neighbor and co-laborer in an
effort to protect himself against the
manipulators of the cotton market. We
recognize the fact that it is absolutely
necessary for most of us to plant cot
ton. 1t is necessary in this country be-
cause it is almost the only certain
money crop. But we submit that If all
of us were to devote our time and en-
orgies to the raising of those products
consumed at home first, and give the
balance to cotton, we would necessarily
reduce the acreage of cotton, and there
by reduce the yield. By so doing we not
only create a demand for our cotton by
reducing the supply, but by raising at
home the things we formerly purchased
from abroad with our cotton money,
we destroy the necessity for a big crop,
and strike from our limbs the shackles
of a commercial slavery that has af-
ficted and burdened us so long.
"We recommend that every cotton
grower plant enough of those products
consumed at home to supply his wants,
and in addition to that raise all the
cotton he can.
awe are in favor of -patronizing home
industries, and earnestly urge the farm
ers of Texas to purchase the goods,
wares and merchandise man ufactured
In Texas in preference to those manu-
9actured elsewhere, when the quality
and price of the article are the same.
The first stimulus ever received by our
American manufacturing industries

HERE N THERE.

No man should blush to own that
he is a farmer or be ashamed of the
fact that he tills the soil. History
teaches us that as nations rise in edu-
cation that agriculture is more honored
and respected.
No farmer should have respecta-
bility simply because he is a farmer.
That is good so far as it goes, but does
not go far enough. He should honor
his occupation by living an honorable
life.
1t is much easier, less expensive,
and better in every way, to maintain
the fertility of the farm than to suffer
it to become depleted, and then be
forced to turn around and effect a res
toration.
Other things being equal, the COW
that requires the most feed is the most
profitable. And yet there are people
who prefer cows that can be kept on
very little. What would one think Of a
farmer who would apply this principle
to the purchase of a mill?
While profits are no longer great
with sheep, it is equally true of cattle
on wheat, and it can be a matter of only
a little time until sheep come back to
the natural wool and mutton regions
as sure as cotton is q in the south
OF. wheat in the northwest.
When the farmer has the product
of the corr field in his silo he holds the
work of feeding in the palm of his
hand, as it we're. 1t certainly seems
that the disadvantages and impractical
bic features of the fodder-feeding ques-
ton on a large scale are by the silo al
most wholly overcome

THE HAT TRICK.
As 1t Is Performed by Joker on
the Board of Trade.

As 1t Is Performed by JOkers on
the Board of Trade.
A large, good-looking and evidently
good-natured man walked into the eX-
change room in the board of trade build
ing the other day and was soon an in
terested, not to say anxious, spectator
of what is known on change as "the
hat trick"
The large man wore a glossy new
derby hat.
A member of the exchange walked up
to him, neatly lifted the hat off his head
and in a moment the newcomer saw
what he supposed was his hat flying
across the room.
1t had been propelled by a kick. Sew
eral others made a rush at it and it was
sem hither and thither like a football.
The nan looked on in amazement.
Presently the hat came his way and he
seized it. He gave the now dilapidated
headgear a brush or two with his elbow,
looked it owe obviously, and then put
it on and started ~hurriedly for the exit.
Before he could make his escape the
hat was again seized and again became
the center of a rush.
Once more the man got the hat,
clapped it on his head and was rushing
away when he was intercepted by the
man who had originally taken it from
the visitors head.
With great politeness the joker hand
ed over the visitors w hat, as glossy
and perfect as if it had just come from
the hatter's block, and took the old hat
in return.
The visitors surprise increased. He
scrutinized the new hat. 1t was certain
ly his. Then he Joined in the general
laugh. He had simply been initiated
into the mysteries of the board Of trade
hat trick, the first point of which is a
bit of sleight of hand work by which
hats are changed and the stock hat,
kept for the purpose, is kicked into the
ring of jokers.-Buffalo Commercial.

Beware of All Cotton,

Every indication now points to the
fact that a larger acreage of cotton will
be put in this spring than has ever be-
fore been known in the history of this
country. Statistics show that the acre
age planted last year was unusually
large, and but &c: unfavorable weather
conditions-droughts in some sections
and superabundance of rains in others
the crop would have been the largest,
and the price perhaps the lowest, on
record. AS it was the crop was cut
very short, and the price went up CORE
spondingly, to the great satisfaction of
such as had made crops. The result of
these good prices, and the phenomenal
yield obtained in those sections where
the crop did succeed, have enthused
cotton planters all over the south, and
they are preparing now for the open
ing of the farming season with more
enthusiasm than they have displayed
in many previous years. The result,
we fear, will be that they will overdo
the matter and effectually knock the
bottom out of the market next fall.
So long as our farmers live at home
they can raise fve-cent cotton, or even
two-cent cotton, provided they grow
it as purely as a surplus crop, but
when they make the mistaae of
attempting to buy dollar wheat
or ten-cent beef with fve-cent
cotton, they are doomed to immediate
failure from the start, Corn, cattle,
hogs and sheep can be raised cheaper
than cotton, and the advantage with
them is that if the market does not suit
the farmer can convert his corn into
stock, and then salt the latter down
''for future reference" By adopting
such a policy he can always live, even
though he may not sport as much money
as the ''bloated bondholder' may do on
occasions. Farming is an eminently
practical vocation, and the farmer who
goes at it in a practical manner will
succeed and gradually grow rich-R.R
Advocate.
