FROM TEXAS.

Probably some of the readers OF
the NEWS would like to know more
about the farming and vegetation
in Texas. The first thing is to
clean the land by means of stalk
cutters. rakes and fire. Then comes
the turning pillow, sulkies and disk
plows, then the disk and section
harrows,, then the land marker with
a stiff tongue which, looks very
much like an old-fashioned sled on
three runners thirty-nine to forty
two inches apart to represent the
rows. then the marks are plowed
out with twelve to fourteen inch
sweeps and called water furrowy.
BY this process skillfully done the
rows will look almost as straight as
a gun barrel, though they may be
one-half to mile long. The plant
ing is now done between those fur
rows.
Corn is drilled one grain Is inch
es apart. All irregular stalks are
chopped out. My landlord says 1t
takes crazy man to chop corn in
Texas. Corn carries dark green
color, stools and suckers heavily
here. This is Sunday June list, and
though planted little late has
been plowed three times will aver
age from waist to shoulder high
and looks fine though needing rain.
1t is claimed that Texas can prom
Use the most and give the least, or
promise the least and give the most
of any state in the union.
Harvest is now on. Think wheat
will average from fifteen to twenty
bushels to the acre. Oats in proper
ton, though wheat is said in ex-
ceptional cases to have made as
high as fifty bushels and oats one
hundred and thirty. This is GER
tainly a good farming country with
the proper skill industry and seas
ons But the seasons are uncer-
tain, have had to plant my cot
ton over on account of late hail and
rain. G. P. SALYER.

Manners Az Home.

The presence OF good manners Is
nowhere more needed or effective
than in the household, and perhaps
nowhere more rare. Whenever the
familiarity exists there Is a tend
ency to loosen the check upon self
ish conduct which the presence OF
strangers involuntarily produces,
ANY persons who are kind and
courteous in company, are rude and
careless with those whom they love
best. Emerson says: Good manners
are made UP OF petty sacrifices. "and
certainly nothing can more thorough
ly secure the harmony and place OF
the family circle than the habit of
making small sacrifices for one an
other, Children thus learn good
manners In the best and most nat
ural way. and habits thus acquired
will never leave them. Courtesy and
kindness will never lose their pow
err or their charm, while all spur
ious limitations of them are to be
despised,

II have noticed so many boys
and young men on the streets on
Sunday mornings, and / have thought
how much more creditable It would
be for them to either stay at home,
or take a walk In the country, or
almost anything else, rather than
be loafing before the doors OF res
taurants. munching peanuts or
smoking cigars and staring at wo-
men and girls on their way TO Sun
day school and church. or course
IL would be better for them to go to
Sunday school and church too. but
II they will not. for PHYS sake let
them keep off the streets. ! have
noticed when meeting Is out at
church on nights, a great crowd OF
young fellows, some of them the
ones above alluded to. who stand
at each side. outside the door, so
that the old people and the girls
and all, have to run the gauntlet
to get out In the free air OF heav-
en-. have noticed that a young
man, when he has any raising. when
he wants to escort young woman
to church, goes TO her home and
having obtained the favor accom-
panies her 10 church. and sits with
her as a gentleman should through
the service. and then goes home
with her. have noticed that many
times young people pass by respect
able old people who have known
them all their lives. and never give
them any recognition at all. Now

Considerable surprise was occa-

reported that Judge John H. Holt,
appointed by Governor Hatfield as
a member of the Virginia Debt Com

that Hon. Joseph s. Miller, OF Keno

him. Judge Holt could not be seen
last night with reference to the
cause of his declination to serve on
the commission. An intimate friend.
however, gave 1t as his opinion that
the pressure OF private affairs pre-
cluded Judge Hollis undertaking
such an onerous public duty at the
present time.
