Of Interest to the Farmer

Senators of Texas; that each one of
this body use their influence in get
ting each member of our local union
to write also no same, and that a copy
of these resolutions be sent to state
headql arters to be forwarded by
them to the National committee at
Washington.
"Resolved, That as cotton is the
basic product of the South and that
by it we gain our wealth or poverty,
as 1T is much the duty Of the mer-
chant, the banker and the true South
erners to lend their help and stand
for fair price for the same, a price
that will email BILE the farmer to take
his children out of the field and place
them in school; a price that will keep
the boys on the farm and not send
them to the cities. We feel that the
banker, the merchant, the lawyer,
the doctors and others do not appre-
ciate their responsibility in this line.
Therefore we call upon all true
and patriotic citizens to put their
shoulders to the wheel and help to
hold up the price of our basic pro-
duct. Resolved, That we, the Hill
County Farmers Union in convention
assembled, especially acknowledge
and duly appreciate the hospitality
and numerous courtesies of the Lib
erty Hall local union and citizenship
generally in the entire entertainment
Of the county convention.

HILL COUNTY FARMERS.

Hillsboro, Tex, Jan. 22.-At the
twenty seventh session of the Hill
County Farmers Union, held at Lib
erty Hall on the 18th and 18th inst.
fourteen local unions were represent
ed by regularly chosen delegates and
considerable business was transacted.
Entire harmony prevailed throughout
the meeting and note was made of the
fact that there now exists not a par
ticle of discord in the organization,
county, State or National.
The fraternity at present presents
a healthy and gradual increase in this
country.
Hon. Peter Radford, organizer and
State lecturer, on invitation, was
present and made several splendid
talks, addressing one to an open-door
meeting to a full house, which was
we'll received. He is talented
speaker, interspersing humor suff1-
cient to keep everybody smiling
loud at times.
An unsual feature was the rend-
ering of some excellent music by
Messrs Richard Gober and A. J. Trib
BILE, the former champion violinist,
the latter equally skilled in the sci
ence of accompanying with the organ.
Also Liberty Halls club of young
sters at the conclusion of the public
meeting rendered number of good
selections, principally sacred, which
were enjoyed by all.
The entertainment of the conven-
ton in every detail was ideal, as eX-
pressed in resolution hereinafter
given, attested by unanimous vote.
Good talks were made on topics of
discussion by Messrs. n. J. WOlker,
R. A McDuff, J. T. Bobbitt, B. F.
Bledsoe, J. P. Leslie, H. M.Sherbutt,
D. G. Wornel and S. W. Timer.
The next convention meets at Cold
Corner, near Hubbard City, April 13
and IA.
The following is a part of the res
olutions which prevailed with request
to publish:
'tThat we favor the enactment of
law by our State Legislature prohib-
iting the public school teachers from
drawing pay from the public school
funds while attending the teachers

eve are opposed to any office hold
er collecting salary while canvass

upon the Attorney General to pro-
coed against all who have thus I'M
lawfully taken the States money
without giving value received.
eve are opposed to any office hold
err receiving fees, loans or gifts from
corporations while in the service Of
the people.
THAT we endorse the Scott bill
now pending in Congress, known as
the bill against gambling in cotton
and other farm products, and we
hereby request and urge each mem
Der Of the county union to write a

good hay. Then there is wide diff
erence in the straw as to digestibll1ty.
Some are of the opinion that wheat
straw is more valuable as feed than
oat straw. However results OF ex-
periments show the reverse to be
true. If a ration is made up Of total
food constituents found in the mater
ial rather than the digestibility, poor,
results will be obtained. Both the
amount and the digestibility must be
considered.

FARM NOTES OF INTEREST.
$%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%*%%%%%%%

In melting candied extracted honey
the temperature should not go above
100 degrees, otherwise the fine flavor
will be in a large measure destroyed.
The usual way is to place the vessel
of candied honey in another larger
receptacle containing hot water. In
filling the 60-pound tin cans with
honey, particular attention should be
paid to know when a can is full.
One way is to place the can on a scale
and make it balance at 60 pounds
Apples have a food value not far
from that Of the potato, as analysis
will show. AS a relish they should
not be moderated. Instead of farm
ers selling apples for a small sum
to be converted into cider, it would
have been better to have kept them
for feeding to the stock.
The Berkshire hogs are we'll suited
to the South. They are good rustlers,
fatten at almost any age, and cross
we'll with inferior hogs. The quality
of the meat is good. They are not as
good breeders as the Yorkshire, Tam
worth or DurOc-J ersey.
House plants that are buggy and
shaggy and refuse to improve should
be thron, out. They are an eyesore.
Better demolish the window garden
than to mock nature with the vic
Tins of ignorance or neglect.
Crops, such as corn, potatoes, man.
giles and all root crops that are plant
ed in rows and cultivated during
their growth, are known as Guilt
waited crops. These. crops have al
ways been regarded as beneficial to
soil fertility, but investigation shows
that continuous growth of cultivated
crops depletes the soil more rapidly
than does the growing of grain con-
tinuously.
The man who "makes a business
of farming" should have a business
card; some printed letter-heads, with
the name of his farm home thereon;
and should pay his bills with checks
on his bank. All these little things
not only "make business but help
to dignity his calling, improve his
social standing and enhance his
credit.
Have no hesitation in disposing of
the Improbable COWS. They are a
mistake Let som 2body else have
them. They may be good for him
they certainly are not wanted by you.
Retain only the good ones and make
a start toward putting your business
on profitable, money making bust
ness.

DlSFIGURED WITH ECZEMA

Our little boy Gilbert was troubled
with eczema when but few weeks
old. His little face was covered with
sores even to back of his ears. The
poor little fellow suffered very much.
me sores began as pimples, his lit
tie face was disfgured very much.
We hardly knew what he looked like.
The face looked like raw meat. We
tied little bags of cloth over his
hands to prevent him from scratching.
Ne was very restless at night. his
little face itched.
we consulted two doctors at Chi
cago, where we resided at that time.
After trying all the medicine of the
two doctors without any result, we
read Of the Cuticura Remedies, and at
once bought the Cuticura Soap and
Ointment. Following the directions
carefully and promptly we saw the re-
suit, and after four weeks the dear
child's face was as fine and clean as
any little baby's face. Every one who
saw Gilbert after using the Cuticura
Remedies was surprised. He has q
head Of hair which is a pride for any
boy Of his age. three years. We can
only recommend the Cuticura Rene
dies to everybody" (Signed) Mrs H.

TABLES OF AHAB FOUND
Professor Reisner Makes lmpor-
tant Discovery in Palestine.
CONFIRM BIBLICAL HISTORY
Records Written in Ink Found
on Egyptian Papyri One to Two
Thousand Years Before Christ.
IBy Cable to The Tribune. J

London, Jan. ia discovery of vast
importance for Biblical history is re-
ported from Berlin by The Daily Tele-
graph"
1t appears that Professor Reisner. who
has been carrying out the excavations
for an American society on the site Of
the Israeltish capital, in Samaria, has
unearthed a hundred clay tables COW
cred with inscriptions which are be-
lieved to form a portion Of the archives
Of King Ahab, a contemporary of the
Prophet Elijah.
These inscriptions. which merely in
quantity constitute the most remarkable
archaeological find that has been made
in Palestine, are not cut into the tables,
but are written in old Hebraic char
acters with the intensely black ink found
on the Egyptian papyri between one
thousand and two thousand years before
Christ.
one Of them is letter to Ahab from
the King Of Assyria, who. Or. Yahuda
believes. was either Assurbanipal or his
son. Salmanesser II. Another table con-
tains a detailed inventory of the fur
niture in the royal palace. but further
particulars of the find have not yet be-
come known.
Nevertheless. il is evidently destined
to provide convincing confirmation OF
certain phases Of Old Testament history
which some Of the modern critics have
been in the habit Of treating as alto
gether mythical.
