Those of our readers who are inter-
ested in the price of cotton will re-
member our comments some months
ago on the efforts of one ii. NJ. Neil,
of New Orleans, to depross the price
of cotton. Neil has been the oracle
upon whose judgment or opinion Eu-
ropean spinners and factories have
been guided in the purchase of Ameri-
can cotton. For months this man has
been sending out his circulars and bull
letins, asserting that the 1859 crop of
cotton was enormous, placing it as
high as 100000 bales, telling his En-
ropean friends that the southern plant
ers were hording it, and advising them
not to buy,although the price was then
lowering around five cents. The Farm.
ers' Home Journal and other papers
of the south exposed the falsity Of
Ncil's statements and estimates, and
American spinners bought large sup
plies early. But Mr. Nei's European
friends held off on the strength of his
estimates, and now that cotton has
gone up over $3.50 per bale, and the
crop is found to be over 80 per cent.
less than Neils estimates, he is forced
to admit that he went wrong. The re.
suit is that this mans attempt, prob.
ably in conspiracy with the European
spinners,to defraud the southern plant
ers, has cost his friends about $25 ,00O,-

THE HOG ON THE FARM.
Farmers Should Keep Books with
Their Breeding Animals and
Act Accordingly.

1t is quite an item to note down the
date that each SOW is served and then
the date that she is expected to far
row. BY doing this, much loss espe-
cially during the winter and early
spring, may be avoided; as in this
way suitable preparation can be made
in good season.
1t is very essential to keep pigs
thrifty during the winter in order to
receive the hest growth and gain MS

MS long rs pigs should be kept on the
farm. With proper management in
mating this would avoid fattening in
the summer or winter.
1t is somewhat difficult to under
stand why n farmer after investing
his money in well-bred stock is never
satisfied until he has crossed them
with other breed With many the idea
seems to prevail that cross~bred ami
mails are better than pure-bred This
is mistake. Any one of the STANDARD
breeds is better than any cross breeds,
and there is no good reason for cross
breeding while there are many good
ones why it should not be done.
Sometimes after a SOW farrows she
will furnish her pigs with but little

caused by giving too much Of Q corn

1t occurred in Judge Lawlor's court few
days ago, There was murder trial on and
a policeman named Riley was on the wit

edy Said Mr.. Ferral, who was acting as
defendants counsel:
How many minutes after the shooting
did the man die, Mr.. Riley"
Two minutes, sir, answered the witness
without the least hesitation.
You seem positive about the time, re-
marked Mr.. Ferral, with the air of one who
has the upper hand. Now, I'm going to
test your ability to judge time. will hold
my watch here for two minutes When you
think the time is up, say when"
The defendants counsel held the watch
on the witness and stood examining the hand
carefully. The policeman, however, did not
seem to he worried at all at the tax upon
his mental apparatus. He sat staring va
cantly about the room, and at the exact sec
ond when the two minutes had expired,
remarked: "Now!" and smiled like tickled
sphinx.
Mr.. Ferral was staggered at the uncanny
accuracy Of the witness, and Gen So.omon,
who was prosecuting, was delighted pro-
portionately at his opponents discontinue.
He chuekled in comfortable German way,
during the rest of the session. AT the noon
recess he called Riley to him, and, slapping
him on the shoulder, said
"Oflicer Riley, You yass wonder! How

From Washington
How a Little Boy Was Saved.

Washington, d. C-"When our boy
was about 16 months old he broke out
with rash which was thought to be
measles. In q few days he had swell
ing on the left side of his neck and
1t was decided to be humps. He was
given medical attendance for about
three weeks when the doctor said it
was scrofula and ordered salve. He
wanted to lance the sore, but would
not let him, and continued giving him
medicine for about four months, when
the bunch broke in two places and be-
came running sore. Three doctors
said it was scrofula, and each or
dered a blood medicine. A neighbor
told me of case somewhat like our
baby's which was cured by Hoods
Sarsaparilla. l decided to give it to
my boy and in short while his health
improved and his neck healed so nice
ly that / stopped giving him the med
icine. The sore broke out again, how
ever, whereupon l again gave him

Rice Culture In Texas.

The unprecedented success attained
by Capt. Dunovant in his mammoth
rice venture near Eagle Lake has in
duced planters in all adjoining cour-
ties to plant a large acreage in this
valuable cereal. In the western por-
ton of this county experiments were
made, resulting in the production OF
first-class rice, the soil being well
adapted TO the plant. Near Bay City
there are now two large rice fields,
one owred by Messrs. Nogesang, Heb.
ner Bros, ID. p. Moore and others; a
lot of up-to-date machinery for irri-
eating the land has been purchased to
put the ground in good condition. The
plat consists of 500 acres. II. =. Bar
den, OF this county, has planted 300
acres in rice. The ramie Tor Chinese
silk planD is also engaging the atten.
ton of farmers, who are interested In
diversified farming, and extensive ex-
periments will be made and the adapt
ability of the soil to the cultivation Of
the plant will be thoroughly tested,

HERE AND THERE.

The farmer who does not have a
bunch of good swine, turning the
products Of his farm into good, hard
cash, is not living up to his privileges
in these days. Certainly swine raising
is profitable + you go about it in tho
right way.
Col. w. G. Vinccuhelier, yice-di-
rector of the ArIiansaS experiment sta
ton, is establishing trial orchards in
different sections of that state with
the view of ascertaiuing what varieties
of fruit are best adapted 10 the differ
ent sections.
Bees require both sunshine and
shade. Hives should face the south
east, to allow the sun to shine on them
early in the monring, and have good
shade in the middle of the day and
more sunshine late in the evening.
Dense shade during the entire day is
worse than no shade at all.

Farming As n Business,

Farming has always been good
business and safe one. There may
not be so much glitter and gaud abort
II, but IL possesses more of the sub
stantial attributes of success than
mercantile or professional pursuits.
We are not ignorant of the fact that
there are too many farmers who earn
u bare subsistence, but that is the
fault of the farmer, not of the busl-
ness. Such farmers would not do IA
well in any other business as on
farm. Every business has it's incom-
petents. The towns are full of wagon
drivers who were once merchants; OF
laborers who were spectators; of de-
bauchees who were lawyers and doc
tors; OF ragamuflins who were dudes
and dandies; outcasts who were So
ciety favorites. There are bad farm
ers, Indifferent farmers; but few sons
of the soil are utterly shipwrecked,
and these are men who could not keep
their heads above the buoyant Dead
Sea waves. There are men who are
merchants, or doctors, or lawyers, or
gamblers, or politicians by instinct,
and would be out of place on farm.
But we are not writing of freaks, but
normal men of common sense-in
Yankee parlance, men "who know
beans" Such man on farm of his
own is to be envied, for he has at
command all that is necessary for sus-
tenancc, and ample room for expan-
sion, enterprise and industry, inspired
by sense of personal independence
unknown to the man of AFFAIRS" who
must keep one eye on his competitor
and orc on his business.-Texas Farm

The following story illustrates the
hte Archibald Forbes cleverness in
getting his news reports in ahead of
his fellow correspondents:
| Here is q little scene: Time, near
midnight, after hard days work.
Everybody done up. Hello, Jones,
gays Smith. There's Forbes already

Auoth Jones Gncipient snore from
Forbesl. ut would take ten horses
10 wake him up. I'll turn in" says
Jones. '"Time enough to get our stuff
bff tomorrow, ehY' Fright you are, .
responds Smith.
In ten minutes the wearied warrior
scribes are dead asleep. Forbes rises
cautiously, passing out like a ghost,
BITS him down In a hidden corner with
The stump of tallow candle, writes
like a whirlwind for couple of hours,
finishes with the last flicker Of his

SHELTER across the country, gallops for
an hour, delivers his letter, gallops
back, Is in bed by 4, sleeps this time
s'like brass" and no mistake.
Hello, lazy bones," exclaims Smith
ut 7 a. M, shaking the sleeper. "Time
to be up, old man." adds Jones. "What
are you up tor quoth Forbes drowsily
1--WE are thinking Of getting our stuff
off," 1.-THE devil you are! Why hur-
ry? Let's have another snooze."
At last Smith and Jones get their
stuff off and in three days discover to
their bepuzzlement that they were "a
hours behindhand. Very provoking
to Smith and Jones. But If Forbes
had been the victim of the little ruse
he would have been the first to laugh
over it and to congratulate his sue
cessful competitor
