necessity Of having to sleep In tents

the real misfortune OF this inoppor-

consequence. II there Is one thing
that Texas needs above all other
things. II Is the diffusion OF scientific
knowledge with respect to agriculture.
We do not believe Il would be exag.
geratiye TO say that this must be the
fountain OF all our varied energies.
Therefore any obstruction to the flow
OF that fountain is no less than
public misfortune.
II Is only by appreciating the unri-
vailed service which the Agricultural
and Mechanical College performs that
we can measure the length. depth and
breadth OF that flaw In the law which
occasioned Gov. Campbells action;
and II Is this larger view which
prompts the question whether what
is gained for the constitution Is not
more than lost In the matter OF the
states welfare. Certainly We are not
without reason to regret that In his
zeal to make a reputation for economy
Gov. Campbell should have made this
discovery. We assume that his view

raj and Mechanical College dependent

How Our Ancestor. ORES. u..

Once gentlemen wore sword belts
and gauntlets. These have disappear
ed, but their ghosts still guide all tail
ors, and two useless buttons are inva-
riably sewed upon each cuff and two
others at the back Of the frock coats
Of all afternoon males.
Somewhere about 1853 halter
named John Hetherington of London
made and wore the first tall hat, now
known as the silk, full dress, plug or
stovepipe hat. A horse saw him and
ran away. The owner of the horse
sued Hetherington, but lost his case,
the judge doubtless holding that an
Englishman has an inalienable right to
dress as ugly as he can. One time
there was a king who had a deformed
knee. He abandoned the knickerbock-
ers which revealed the weakness of
the royal leg and took to long trousers.
Hetherington and the king have long
since gone to their reward, but their
ghosts still ride civilized man, one at
one end and one at the other, from
Paris to Tokyo, and, Lord "a mercy,
we daren't even laugh at the spectacle.

one of them stretches himself out In

not beg for mercy or attempt to run

together In defiance Of the foe. That

Favorable Results From Experiments
Made From Green Crops.
The question Of forage crops for pigs
Is one which Is Of decided Importance,
as 1t Is well known that the use Of
such feed is valuable and profitable.
Cowpeas without grain have SO far
given better results at the Mississippi
station. 1t is stated. than any other of
the crops tested. In one season the
cowpeas were grown on thin hill land
and produced $50 pounds Of pork per
acre when pigs were grazed upon
them. The next season the crop was
grown on good valley land and pro-
duced 4S3 pounds Of pork per acre.
The pigs were turned on the pasturage
when the cowpeas were ripe. Alfalfa
without grain was found ito be little
more than q maintenance ration for

More Monez In Live STOCK Than Grain

More Money In Live Stock Than Grain.
The value of farm animals is in
creasing rapidly, suggesting that
farmers OF the west are going more
and more into general farming. not
depending so much on raising grain
for market. The statement Is made
by the American Cultiyator. The
value of farm animals is placed at
about $5,000,000,000. or one-fifth of
the entire value OF farm property.
The value of receipts at leading mar
ket centers for about 50,000,000 head
of cattle, horses, hogs and mules will
total well over a billion dollars this
sum of the leading markets only. and
probably nearly as much more live
stock is sold at the smaller markets,
as 1t is figured that about two-ffths
OF the farm live stock goes to market
during one year. or the annual In
come from live stock. cattle make mp
about five-eighths, hogs one-fourth
and the balance sheep. horses and
mules. The great iron and steel In
dustry IL surpassed in value Of ex-
ports by the shipments Of meat and
dairy products. The tendency Of all
lines of animal products il toward In
crease. while the country IL becoming
less and less an exporter Of grain.
The farmers are wisely securing a
double profit by turning their grain
into the home market and selling It
as finished product In the form OF
meat, butter and cheese. The United
States has more dairy cows (22,244,-
440) than any other country In the
world. more horses. 23.000.532: more
mules. 4056,390; more swine. 57.970,'
