Farm bookkeeping.

No business man can get along sue
cessfully without striking balance
now and then to see where he stands.
bookkeeping is n necessary element in
commercial success. 1t is just as nee
essary for the farmer to examine his
assets and liabilities from time to
time to ascertain If he is making a
profit or loss as it is for any other
business man. Farmers have not been
doing business on business principles
and only one result could follow.

EMPIRE STATE PATRONS.
The Grange "a Growing Power In
New York.


The yearly session of the New York
state grange in Syracuse made a very
pleasant and impressive revelation of
the growth of the Patrons of Hus-
bandry in the Empire State. The re-
ports generally showed the Order to be
growing power in the state. 1t is
not easy TO understand why farmers in
all the states do not realize the value
OF the grange as the promoter and pro-
tector of the interests of farmers, but
Il is reassuring to note that intelligent
farmers are coming into the Order in
greater numbers than ever before. The
community that has live grange Is
always a community in which intelli-
gence predominates, in which refined
society rules, in which education Is
valued, in which scientific agriculture
Is the rule and in which the rural folk
are seen at their best. New York leads
most of the states in advanced country
life, and it is proper that the grange
should be conspicuous feature of ru-
ral life In the state. Members of the
Order everywhere will be pleased to
note the growth of the grange in New
York.-New York Farmer.

The Subordinate Grange.

The subordinate grange is a link in

gence among the tillers of the soil and

AN EARLY HARVEST.
Qtality OF Wheat, May Be Impaired by the
Cold Wave.

A well known farmer advances the
opinion that one of results of our phe
nomenal spring will be an early nay
making and harvest which may come
on by the middle of June.
The wheat, he says, at some places
is nearly foot in height, and breaks
into waves as the wind sweeps over
the surface. The grass is advanced
to a corresponding degree aud unless
retarded in growth by want of rain
promises to yield good and early
crop.
The farmer in question is not GER
tain but that the quality of early
wheat may be impaired by the cold
wave. He is quite certain that the
cold has resulted in harm to buddeiug
fruit Of all kinds, although the wind
and the dry condition of the atmos-
phere may have kept the damage
down to the minimum.
a great deal, he says, depends upon
the kind of weather which follows i'm
medlately on the heels Of the cold
wave. The ground was frozen and
should the cold continue the earth
will become thoroughly chilled and
that condition will work much harm.
The effect will be especially percept-
IDLE on strawberries, while the early
potatoes and other vegetables which
have already been planted had a
great deal better be out of the ground
as there is great danger that the seed
will rot

1t was my privilege to make = trip
to E!berton, Ga. ON Saturday of last
week. Mr.. f. G. Trefzer, who before
his coming to Union, for years re.
sid ed in Elberton, had often expressed
a desire for me to see the splendid
houses of worship recently erected
there by the Baptists and Methodists.
On Saturday we took the train for
Carlisle and thence over the Seabosrd
to Elberton. The visit was q most
delightful one. Mr.. Trefzer has hosts
Of friends there, and for his sake they
we're extremely kind to me. I heard
the pastor preach on Slrday morn
ing, ard at night preached myself.
Friends showed me through the build.
ipgs and gave me gr, at deal of in.
formation along the line of buildings
church hous,.
E!berton is a splendid little city.
l was surprised to see what handsome
public buildings aud stores they had.
A thirty thousand dollar court house,
ten thousand dollar library build
ing and handsome brick houses of
worship for the Methc dis's and B.r-
lists are some of the evidences of their
progress.
On Monday Wa returned home by

EDITOR The TIMES: In 1901,
just two years ago, the Texas legis-
.lature enacted law to establish an
industrial school for girls and is de-
nominated "The Texas Industrial
Institute and College for the Educa-
ton of White Girls of the State of
Texas in the Arts and Sciences" an
institution which many will agree is
great acquisition to the State ed.
ucational facilities. In its scope it
is extensive, embracing six depart
ments as follows:
1st. English-Science department,
teaching English language and liter
ature, history, psychology, political
economy, mathematics, physics,
chemistry. botony, zoology, Ian.
guages, etc.
End. Domestic Arts Department,
embracing cooking, sewing, launder.
ing, housekeeping, etc.
3rd. Rural Arts Department, em.
bfacing dairying, poultry keeping,
bee keeping, horticulture, AoricuI-
ture, etc.
4th. Fine Arts Department, en-
bracing aesthetics, drawing, design
ing, painting, photography, physical
culture, music, etc.
5.h. Industrial Arts Department,
embracing dressnaking, millinery,
illustrating, designing, modelling,
carving, engraving, etc.
9th. Commercial Department, EN-.
bracing bookkeeping, stenography,
typewriting, telegraphy, business
transactions. political economy, COM
mercial law, etc.
BY the above you can understand
the purpose and scope of the school.
The following qualifications are re.
quircd of all entering this institution:
ANY white girl of good moral char
acter who has attained the age Of
sixteen years, who has good knowl-
edge of the common school subjects,
who wishes to acquire a higher ed.
ucation which includes q thorough
practical training for life, who comes
to the school with the clear and
earnest purpose of doing their bes,
work and complying with the regu
lasions of the institution and who
pass enthusiastically the entrance ex
aminations prescribed by the
faculty"
Of course an appointment must b.
made so as to limit the number t.
the accommodations. The County
Superintendents have the appointive
power, and '.any white girl abov,
means any one fortunate enough t,
get an appointment possessing thu

Governor Lanham has been using
the veto prerogative, pen and power
quite freely of late. Among the
vetoes 80 far he vetoed a bill which
the merchants of Texas worked tarj
to get pa.s:d by the Legislature, and

him very upjastly as the law now
stands upon the statutes of Texas,
namely, the occupation tax law. The

a name and fame by the ma terful
speech on the race question in the
Ssnate in February. Hs has AID is
receiving the encomiums of all classes
in this section of country. His Dis

endure for ages. His friend and his
foe speak equally in his praise for the
above mentioned speech and his 10y
atty to his native State. Some peo.
pie seem to want to make it appear
that none but Bryan Democrats are
admirers of Senator Tillman that l
am sure is great mistake for lave
many reasons for believing that there
are here in Bonham many persons
who votel against Mr.. Bryan in 1896
and 1900 who are interested admirers
of Mr.. Tillmau. They say, these ad.
mirers, he is Stateman of pecu ia
kind, but Statesman just the same.
l am frank to s,y I've always admired
his intellect ard expected, after a sea-
son of Tillmanantic display, for him
to do just what he has done. Our
Congressman here, Hon. @. B Ran

pamphlet to many of his constituents.
This may be the last time, for q
long while, that you will hear from
Bonham unless there is change from
the present status. I've been pro-
noted to the position Of servant and
