MAKING MONEY ON FARM.

"The second carload of hogs for the fall season was shipped from here Monday by H. O. Barber & sons to the Houston market" says the san Benito (Texas) Light.
 "The car contained sixty-two hogs for which the San Benito farmers re- ceved cash ranging from $7.75 to SS.1O per hundred pounds. This price is exceptionally high and means that on this at least an extra $10O to the farmers of this section. The total amount received by the shippers for the sixty-one hogs was in the neighborhood of nine hundred dollars.
 "From now on at least one carload of hogs will be sent away from here every week, the number increasing with each week. Present indications Ire that another carload will be ship ped tomorrow"
 The San Benio county is iio better adapted for growing hogs than the Pine Bluff country. Farmers arc prone to, ridicule the suggestions of the newspapers and the advice of the book farmers,' but just supposin' farmers had not been so all-firedly wise and had planted more hogs and less cotton this year? They would have money crop and the founda- tion for a good plan to produce more pork mex. year. What'll happen this year needn't worry half as much as what can be made to happen next year.

perpiexed than he was before. ms creates in the mind of the parent d feeling that it is useless to inter- fere.
 The less parents understand of school methods the more they become critical and suspicious. Hence the many complaints that this boy or that girl is not geeting fair play. Also the teacher is left with the feeling that the home atmosphere is hostile and will not back her up.
 Parents should not take the educa- ton of their children thus lightly. It is not matter merely of merchant disc, which they buy with their tax bills as they buy their groceries. A little attention to a child's report cards and his tests may help save waste of school privileges that will afterward be a lifelong regret. It takes but a little time to drop in at the school room. It is scene of hope and cheer. Any parent will feel younger for the visit, and may be able to make some valuable suggestions.

MUST HAVE COTTON.

dispatch from New York says "the British government had given the Lancashire mills some large cloth orders and that, in absence of fresh importations, the Liverpool stock soon would begin to move out more rapidly" War or no war the world must have cotton goods, and as these must be had means of manu- featuring them will be found. And the demand for American cotton will continue.
 Because no plan has been devised of insuring a reduction of cotton acreage next year. farmers who need money may encounter difficulty just now in negotiating loans on cotton. But indications are that the situation will clear somewhat shortly: the mar kets will open and there'l be a value on the staple that will enable grower to obtain far loan on his crop or whatever portion he may wish to give as security. But the banks will not lend s or 10 cents on cotton, while threatened with the danger of being left to hold the bag by reason of an over-prcduction next year There must be cooperation between banker, merchant and grower. and this must include disposition on the part of the grower to protect the others by planting less cotton and more corn. pork or other crops.

The Gospel According to
 ST. LUKE.
CHAPTER ,.

CHAPTER ). And it came to pass, that, as the people pressed upon him to hear the word of God, he stood by the lake of Gennesaret,
 2. And saw two ships standing by the lake: but the fishermen were gone out of them, and were washing their nets.
 8. And he entered into one of the ships, which was Simon's, and prayed him that he would thrust off little from tfe land. And he sat down, and taught the people out of the ship.
 4. Now when he had left speaking, he said unto Simon, Launch out into the deep, and let down your nets for draught.
 ,. And Simon answering said un- to him, Master, we have toiled all the night, and have taken nothing: nevertheless at thy word 1 will let down the net.
 6. And when they had this done, they inclosed great multitude of fishes and their net brake. '. And they beckoned unto their partners. which were in the other ship, that they should come and help them. And they came, and filled both the ships, so that they began to sink.
 | 8. When Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at Jesus Knees, saying, Depart from me; for 1 am a sinful man, o Lord.
 9. For he was astonished, and all that were with him, at the draught of the fishes which they had taken:
 10 And so was also James, and John, the sons of Zebedee, which were partners with Simon. And Jesus said unto Simon. Fear not; from henceforth thou shalt catch men. II. And when they had brought their ships to land, they rorsook all, and followed him. 12. And it came to pass, when he 1 was in a certain city, behold a man full of leprosy: who seeing Jesus fell on his face, and besought him, say ing, Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean.
 i 13. And he put forth his hand, and touched him, saying, I will be thou clean. And immediately the leprosy departed from him.
 IA. And he charged him to tell no man: but go, and shew myself to the priest, and offer for thy cleansing, ac- cording as Moses commanded, for a testimony unto them.
 15. But so much the more went there a fame abroad Of him. and great multitudes came together to hear. and to be healed by him of their infirmities.
 16. And he withdrew himself into the wilderness, and prayed 17. And it came to pass on cer- tain day, as he was teaching, that there were Pharisees and doctors of the law sitting by, which were come out of every town of GalIlee, and Judaea, and Jerusalem: and the power of the Lord was present to heal them.

The Dawn of Christianity , $s As Described ia
 THE NEW TESTAMENT
 Translated from the Original Greek.

Ipalsy: and they sought means to rring him in, and to lay him before ! him.
 19. And when they could not find by what way they might bring him in because of the multitude, they went upon the house top, and let him down through the tiling with his couch in- to the mdist before Jesus. 1 20. And when he saw their faith. he said unto him., Man, thy sins are 1 forgiven thee.
 21. And the scribes and the Phari- sees began to reason, saying, Who is ! this which speaketh blasphemies Who can forgive sins, but God alone
 g. But when Jesus perceived their thoughts, he answering said un- to them, What reason ye in your | hearts?
 23. Whether is easier, to say, Thy | sins be forgiven thee; or to say, Rise up and walk?
 | 24 But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power upon earth 1 to forgive sins, Che said unto the | sick of the palsy,) 1 say unto thee, Arise, and take up thy couch, and go | into thine house.
 25 And immediately he rose up before them, and took up that where on he lay, and departed to his own house, glorifying God. 5.se4 1 26. And they were all amazed, and they glorified God, and were filled with fear, saying, We have seen | strange things today. 27. And after these things he went forth, and saw a publican. named Levi, sitting at the receipt of custom and he said unto him, Follow, me. z
 2s. And he left lelks rose; ap; and al d i followed him. ! %. And Levi made him a great feast in his own house: and there was a great company of publicans and of others that sat down with them.
 30. But their scribes and Phari- sees murmured against his disciples saying, Why do ye eat and drink with 1 publicans and sinners?
 31. And Jesus answering said unto them, They that are whole need not a physician; but they that are sick.
 32. I came not to call the righteous but sinners to repentance.
 33. And they said unto him, Why do the disciples of John' fast often ! and make prayers, and likewise the disciples of the Pharsees; but thine eat and drink?
 34. And he said unto them, Can ye make the children of the bride chamber fast, while the bridegroom is with them?
 8. But the days will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken away from them, and then shall they fast in those days.
 36. And he spake also parable unto them: No man putteth piece of a new garment upon an old; if other wise, then both the new maketh 6 rent, and the piece that was taken out of the new agreeth not with the old.
 l 37. And no man putteth new wine into old bottles; else the new wine will burst the bcttles, and be spilled and the bottles shall perish. 3S. But new wine must be put into new bottles; and both are preserved
 39. No man also having drunl old wine straightway desireth new fer he saith, The old is better.

WHAT THEY WILL SEE.

The Texas Farmers congress VIII send cutt' commission of agricultural exnlorers to visit the states of the Middle west for the purpose of find ing out how they did 1t.
 That is. the business of the com mission will be tovisit Ohio, Indiana, illinois, Wisconsin, Iowa, Kansas Missouri and Nebraska for the pur- pose of studying the farming methods tf those states with view to learh- ing HOW the farmers of the Midd:f West made tho lands that they got tor practically nothing during the last century now worth from $7o to $2oO an acre.
 They will gather some valuable in formation in Kansas. Iowa, Nebraska and Illinois about corn culture, and all the states they visit will give in- formation about raising wheat, says the Beaumont Enterprise.
 In Wisconsin they will be able to collect some valuable information about dairying. The farmers of east ern Wisconsin will show them how in a period of less than forty years the greatest dairying interest in the coun- try was built up. largely by co-opera- tive methods.
 In Ohio they will get many valuable pointers about fruit raising and the management of small farms.
 Illinois farmers will give them some insight into the manner in which corn yields have been increas- ed in the quarter of a century since Illinois corn was worth as low as b cents bushel. The price is now five times as high and the yields are about double, although the soil has been worked longer.
 In Missouri and Iowa they will get an intimate view of stock raising by the small farmer. They will learn a great deal about raising hogs in Hi no!s and about mule rasing in Mis- sCuri.
 In Missouri and Kansas they will get some valuable information about raising oats for home consumption as well as for the market, and they will have good chance to observe meth eds of raising and preserving fodder crops.
 Each state they visit will give them new ideas about the management ol the crcps peculiar to that section. but there are few things they will set everywhere they go.
 They will notice. for instance, tha every corn farmer in the corn states every wheat farmer in the whea s'ates. every stock farmer in tn; stock raising states. every dair! farmer in the dairy states. has garden. yard f, Il of chickens. sev hogs and COWS. They do not depen' on any one crop. They raise foo loI; tnciI o"u uoS anu ioou ioi 'hoi s eek. no matter what their mai money crop may be.
 They will find that in every sectio they visit drainage has been brough to /. high state of development.
 They will see silo ill nearly ever barnyard and they will notice tha barns and other .cutbuildings fo storage of produce and pro ection c stotk have received even more atten tion than the dwelling houses.
