A PRESIDENT FROM TEXAS.

These are proud days for Texas in the National
congress Several times OF late discerning men and
newspapers have pointed to Senator Charles A. Cul-
hcrson as first class presidential timber and now
there is earnest suggestion of Senator Joseph W.
Bailey for the democratic nominee.
The chances are rather against any Southern man
reaching the presidency at this time though there is
no telling what may happen in politics. Bryan was
less known than either of the Texans when he was
first nominated and for that matter many presidents
were scarcely known beyond their States when named
in convention. Ten years hence it would not be
strange IL a Southern should he called to the
high office, and at that time now providence per.
hitting, Texas will be able to furnish the material
Presidential possibilities aside, the Texas members
OF congress in both houses are taking rank with the
FIRST Of the nation. Senator Culbereon has dis.
tinsuished himself upon frequent occasions notably
in debate on the Philippines aud particularly last week
TN developing the Tayabas scandal which the admin
tstrRtou papahy seeking to conceal Senator
Balcys brilliant performances of late have put him
corspicuously in the eye of the nation II is to be
doubted whether two ever made such National
strides in such short time Certainly Mr. Bailey's leap
to fame is phenomenal.
The work OF the members of the house is quite as
creditabc, If less conspicuous Mr. Ball easily ranks
as leader Mr.. Burleson has caused the republican
administration many unhappy moments and has cor
respondingy the applause of the country Mr.
All have done handsomely,
Somebody said few years ago that Texas would
soon enter the halls of the NatonaS legislature with
the tread of giant The prophecy fulfilled by the
tread OF several giants. Democratic success in 1904

There may be difficulty in securing
good potatoes for planting in the
spring. One can not tell how much
the rot reduced the supply, but the
loss was heavy. There is always a
considerable percentage of farmers
who chase the markets, coming in
one year late and planting heavily OF
whatever crop is high in price at
planting time, and there may be some
increased demand ON this account. On
the other hand, there is reason to be-
lieve than an unusual percentage OF
the potato crop went into storage
last fall, the prevalent belief being
that prices would be very high next
spring. The imports from foreign
countries have been unexpectedly
large keeping the price in seaboard
cities within bounds. The crop OF
second-crop seed in portions of the
south was good, and it will be or
the market for planting. 1t is diff
ficult matter to forecast the future
of the market, and I am sure predic
tions this year are guesswork to al
unusual degree.-Farm and Fireside

Farmers and poultrymen should
make it a rule to look upon each hen
as different from the others, and
realize that some are valuable, willis
others are not, persistently destroy
ing the weaker, and the damage and
loss will then prove but very. small
item compared with the gain in prof.
it, showing also saving of expense
in favor of the strong, vigorous, har-
DIV birds. 1t matters not, in starting
flock, of what breed or cross the
hens may be, provided the male il
pure-bred, for the male usually trans.
mits his characteristics to all tho
chicks. A male should not only be
from hardy breed, but he should be
known to the purchaser as having
come from a vigorous family OF thai
breed, and should himself be free
from any signs of disease. or a ten
dency to contract disease. 1t is no

When Chippendale published his work
u754 to 1852 bnilt-in cupboards with
doors flush with the wainscoat of the
walls were still in fashion and gave
ample room for the storage OF wine
and table appointments. As, with the
change in the style of decoration, they
gradually disappeared the mahogany

INFLUENCE OF WOMAN.

and the Re-Trnnsformati0n OF
Nelson, the Naughty.

Nelson has lived with Washing
ton family for several years. and he
has proven himself so well content
ed with his own views upon all sub
jects that he has always been upon
the point of immediate dismissal and
has always just escaped it by reason
of his genius for polishing silverware
and his elaborate politeness when
answering the doorbell.
Really, Nelson is too hard-headed
for anything" the mistress OF the
mansion would say. II must send
him away"
"Now, mamma" her daughter
would reply. you know Nelson is
too fond of his own way to go un-
less he wanted to. even if you did
muster up courage to discharge him."
And so instances of Nelson's calm
setting aside of all authority save
his own sweet will continued to null
tiply.
Suddenly, however, change was
noticeable. Without warning Nelson
became meekly, even weakly affable
and yielding, even to the point OF
consulting the head of the family

WASTE MAKES WANT.
No Industry In the south where
There II So Much Waste n
On the Farm.

1t is said in the big packeries, every
part of the hog, except the squeal, is
utilized. The packers by their sys-
tenn of strict economy, are able to
pay more for hog than they get for
the pork, and still grow rich off the
waste" or ''offal." When beeves are
slaughtered, the hair, the hides, ev-
ery bone not sold as beef" every
hoof, horn, ear, every part of the in
testinal apparatus, and even their con-
tents are made into merchantablc
commodities. Similar economies per-
wade every manufacturing industry
that is cminently successful. This Is
conducting business on scientific
principles and is practical economy.
What would be the results if farm
ers were as careful as these great
millionaires in saving for a useful
purpose everything that comes their
way? Would it not mean hundreds

science of animal nutrition. which IL
simple enough for any farmer to
master with only a little study and
reflection. Only in rare instances 10
any attention paid to the fact that
any nutritive element fed beyond the

lutely wasted. The subject of bal
anced ration rarely enters into the
feeders calculations. There is great
waste in the use and abuse OF farm
implements, shortening their lives OF
usefulness fully one-half. The habit
is chronic and affects everything
from the least to the greatest. on

that Hepplewhite, by suggesting in one

seed did not cost so much. The cause
of the scarcity and high price OF the
seed results from the Discrimination
of farmers for the tedious work OF
gathering the peas by hand, and
afterwards thrashing the peas by
hand. Every farmer should save
enough seed for his own purposes
and cease to pay $3.50 and $3.50 pei

to plant in drills and cultivate a spe

Is well to shun ill-natured gossip.
Make it rule, and let it be strictly
observed, not to say anything about
the faults of another unless there is
absolute necessity for you to do SO.
This necessity may arise, and your
own judgment can guide you about
the matter. 1t is always rash to talk
Of the faults or evil doings OF others.
Why, indeed, should you do so? You
know yourself that you have faults
few or many, and that there are
many things you may have done
which you prefer should not be as
cussed. Well, then, exercise the same
charity to others that you wouid
have extended to yourself.
Another thing to bear in mind II
that, if you talk of what is to the dis
advantage of another, what you say
will doubtless be repeated. OF course
you may preface your remarks by;
This is quite between ourselves,
spray do not repeat it," etc. But why
should you imagine that the person
to whom you are talking will be 81
lent about that which you promised
to keep to yourself? She may forge
her promise, or may not consider
very binding.
