FORGET TT GOVERNOR.

Let US hope that when Governor
Campbell sits down to write his mes
sage he will forget all about two
cent fares. He will confer a favor on
Texas II he will allow his memory
to lapse on that subject.
There is no demand in Texas for
reduced passenger fare. The low ex-
cursion rates given are worth more
to the state than a flat two-cent rate
under which there would be no ex-
cursion rates.
Besides, we are now fighting i'm
creased freight rates, and II we cut
the passenger fare, the railroads will
have real argument in favor OF the
increased freight tariff.
Gov. Hughes, OF New York, was
brave and wise enough to veto a
two-cent fare bill, because It had
been passed without study of the
conditions and without proof that 1t
was just. Before we think about a
two-cent fare for Texas, let us be
sure that II is justified Anton

to hold him up to public ridicule by

him to pay license to carry a gun

bearing the legend, 81 am pistol

penalty of one year in the state

law all peace officers should be rel

FARM NOTES.

Every farmer would be great convenience
to himself if he understood something about
carpentering, blacksmithing and painting.
Grease your buggy when you come in, then
it is ready whenever you want to 60 out.
Instead of counting the cost, man needs
to value experience at what it is worth.
Children sent to town to attend school sell
dom return permanently to the farm.
Some have manure cisterns into which
liquid manure is drained, and saved. Other
wise it is wasted, and does no one any good.
One Of the most difficult crops to keep is
sweet potatoes. Uncless kept perfectly dry
they will rot They need to go through
sweating process before being stored Some
use perfectly dry sand or dust.
Many man is success in growing truck
who is failure when he comes to selling it.
He should work up his weak point, and spend
part of his raising time in learning to sell.
Careless work on the farm is one cause Of
a great deal Of loss. Careless shocking Of
grain, careless stacking, careless feeding, and
many careless ways Of doing things make big
leaks. These make the farm Improbable
Farm life is not any more exacting than
many other vocations. The ordinary man in
good health should be able to do a days
work on the farm, until he has children old
enough to take his place while he superin-
tends.-Texas Farmer

AN EXTRAVAGANT NATION.

The American nation will go down in his
tory as the most extravagant nation that ever
existed. It commenced by exterminating
the Indian. It next exterminated the buffalo.
It then turned attention to the forests, and
has almost eliminated them. These things
were serious, but they were not beyond re-
pair. The career we have launched on now
is resulting in something that can never be
repaired. We are skimming the cream Of the
mineral riches with which the land has been
so endowed in our haste to get rich. We are
destroying at least so per cent Of everything
in the mineral line we lay our hands on.
Nothing but richest gold mines are worth
looking at; the same thing applies to all the
mines Of precious minerals and precious
stones When we come to our iron deposits
nothing but the richest of the ores is shipped
away; the leaner ore is wasted much Of it
destroyed forever.
mines and Minerals is authority for the
statement that 40 per cent of the magnificent
anthracite deposits in Pennsylvania, the dup
hcate of which cannot be found on earth, has
been lost forever We believe it is true, that,
up to this time, SO per cent of the bituminous
coal area worked over has been wantOnly
destroyed, and the destruction is being swift
ly carried on on every side. The man who
tries to conserve the mineral wealth of this
country is laughed at as fool.
The man who cannot produce ton Of coal
cheaply in the estimation of some people is
no miner at ALL in face, they gauge a mans
ability by the cost at which he produces ton
Of coal, no matter if he destroy ten tons Of
coal for every one he gets out. Our president,
who seems to have the faculty Of probing
everything, has not yet probed the mineral
industries Of this land but it is evident he is
being awakened to the fact that wanton
waste is running riot through the land; for
he has directed that the coal seams underlying
the unsold public lands shall not be disposed
of, and we don't doubt that he will follow
this matter further, and probably order an
investigation of the mining methods of this
lang-Famers' Advocate.

Mrs Farmer, where is your old man g cotton
that he is holding to sell at Is cents per
poundq Has it been placed in warehouse,
which is the proper place for itf Or is it
on the ground growing grade of cotton to go
into the rotten pillow lines?
Twenty thousand dollars does not represent
the original value of the above cotton, it only
represents the selling value after damage.
This transaction perhaps represented loss
to the cotton growers of from $4,000 to
100000.
When will the Southern farmer learn to
stop such losses?

HERE'S A TREMENDOUS LESSON FOR
COTTON FARMERS!

COTTON FARMERS!
The $4,000 this one cotton buyer made on
weather-damaged cotton, and the $4,000 or
100000 lost by the farmers who gave it to
him are but drop in the bucket. Is your cot
ton protected against the weather?
One day when I was on a railway car near
Columbia, S. c., man came into the car who
had large bundle Of something that looked
like cotton samples. I knew the man and
asked him what was in the bundle
There were three drummer" sitting near.
The man with the bundle looked at the drum
mers, laughed and said: eff these were farm
ers, would not tell what have in this pack
age" asked him why. He said because he
would be afraid the farmers would pitch him
out the car window when they learned what
the package meant.
Not being afraid Of the drummers, he said
he had ''samples of piclings." I knew what
he meant, but the drummers did not, so he
told them
The man said he was in the employ Of
cotton exporting firm; that they bought cot
ton direct from farmers; that the farmer
would not protect his cotton from the earth
and weather after ginning; that cotton bales
were always damaged from lying on the
ground, and that when offered for sale-a
thing our farmers do not know-the buyer
makes guess at the damage, always guessing
20 as to protect himself from loss. Fer III
stance, if the buyer believes there is five
pounds damage on a bale, he deducts 10
pounds or more; or if the damage perhaps is
20 pounds, he deducts 40 or SO pounds.
Now, this damaged cotton does not cost tho
buyer anything, but is direct loss to the
farmer. His firm has several congresses.
The cotton is re-picked and re-baled at the
compress, the good cotton exported and the
"pickings" sold in America for ropes, bat
ting, coverings for wire, and other low-class
cotton products.
"Our sales," said the man with the bun
die, "for this season, for cotton we picked
from damaged bales, will amount to $4,000.
No cost to our firm except to sort the damaged
from the good cotton at the compress"
He was asked if this damaged cotton came
in competition with good cotton. Certainly
it does,'' he said. If the farmer would pre-
vent the damage, the mills which use this
cotton would be forced to buy the better cot
ton and then pillow lines would last longer,
