Ilitlicrto it hasleeo conrmew to

principle however it might be

"bvBtK! fathers before the days of
lailroads and telegraphs ot the
combination ot manufactures
sad srgricartsrre and ot the diver-
sity and relation ot crops rren
of experience and progress will
tsake their places.
Wchave often written in ex-
pression of the idea that our
young men who were born on
farms and who expect to in-
herit lands should not seek ed-
ucation as lawyers doctors or
preachers but ai farmers. Wc
want to see the best culturo
brought to bear on' this pursuit
assured that it may bo made
the" sphere ot the highest grade
ot manly and -womanly refine-
ment. Another "and very important
item is the cultivation of a
spirit of .intellectual and friendly
association among our farmers
and their families. At present
there is more ot this in every
other pursuit than in that of
agriculture; but the time has
come when farmers must agree
to work together for the ad-
vancement of their calling.
Otherwise while they labor-
iously produce the basis of all
values men of other callings
will make all the money and
grow enormously rich while
the producers remain poor.
Nature has marked out this
region as the'paradise-of agri-
culturists and h6thing is want-
ing 1o make it such except an
enlightened policy on the part
of the tillers of the soil and this
id why wo regard the Grange
organization with such hearty
approval; we believe it has
aroused among our fanners. that
spirit of co-operation in behalf
of their pursuit which is essen-
tial to their individual pros-'
parity.
There are many qnestions
calling tor the attention of onr
farmers one of the most impor-
tant of which is a greater diver-
sity of crops in its relation to
labor and profit. Again it is
to be regretted that so many of
the necessaries of life and those
too for the production of which
our climate and soil is peculiarly
adapted are constantly import-
ed. The money received for
eottonv sold at a low figure in
consequence of over production
is mostly exported. This ot.v
itself itfrnishes reason enough"
tcr investigation. Let us have
way!

The San Antonia Fxprcst
claims that Western Texas is
the best part ot the world tor
fanning. The Darker claims
that here iu Washington county
the land cannot be surpassed.
Everything in the vegetable
kingdom that grows in the
temperate zone can be raised in
abundance. In the Brazos bot-
j torn tho ordinary yield ot an
acre ot well cultivated land is a
bale of cotton. Corn can be
raised to the extent of from 60
to 80 bushels. What the Ban-
nee wishes to say to its num
erous country readers is that

)Catohin& Cold. One chief
danger trouicoldsis the exhaus
ted state ot the body that first
occurs so it is no able to re-
sist nnntvorabla influence. Peo-
ple wlioure not very vigorous
should avoid oyS-f-eSertion and
keep their strength bj to
the highest. ItvWi.'l help those
prone to cold to slep all tbey
can. Another can) of -cold is
eating too heartily after a day's
work when there aro not torches
eueongh to digest the food and
keep np the circulation. tt
moderately at night ifyou would
avoid a cold. A cold in its ear-
ly stages may be broken up by
hot foot baths warmth to tho
body especially a hot pack or
a hot bath in the middle of the
day with much friction and
quiet iu a comfortable room. It
is not advisable to take a hot
bath at night in such cases.
When you have a cold don't
cat much or work much unless
you have great physical strength
when a hard day's work may
lie a good thing to equalize the
circulation and restore the ac-
tion to the skin which always
suffers when one take cold.

Warm skeltkr foe cows. If
you have -not a warm shelter tor
cows yon have not done your
duty to yourself nor to the poor
dumb brutes God bas place

not a suitable cow house go right
to work: split out some boards
tor a roof and put up some kind
ot a house or shed. A shed op-
en on the south but made tight
on the north or west on dry
ground will answer very well
There is clear profit in taking
good caro of cows' giving milk;
but how ninny there are who
are abundantly able who pro-
vide their cows with nothing to
cover their backs from the pelt-
ing rain and sleet. This neglect
are both foolish and wicked.
Trie attitude of the "work-
ingmen" a3 they call themsel-
ves of San Francisco has grown
so menacing that the authorities
have found it necessary to adopt
extremd measures to protect the
city from the violeuco which
they openly threaten. The
mayor has prohibite their as-
sembling in large bodies-u pre-
caution rarely adopted even in
European cities except in tim-
es of siege and cases of great
public peril and the law and
order classes of the city with
that capacity tor organization
which tho vigilance committee
days taught them bave orga-
nized to protect tho city agaisnt
an uprising. At the same tims
milder measures are being take
en to meet the difficulty. Work
at Si a day which is about
two-thirds the regular rate on
Pacfic coast has been offered to
as many as 1000 men. Tbb
will satisfy all who really wans
to work and the others who
seek only mischief can be taken
care of in another way. The
precaution taken areso thorough
that it is not probnble now an

We are speaking to Texas
farmers and especiallythoe ot
Central Texas. They raise or
attempt to raie too much cot-
ton and corn and not enongh
products. It would seem
that years of experience should
have long convinced 'the small
farmer that the exclusive plant-
ing of these two staples leads
not to comfort and indepen-
dence but in the oppositite di-
section. The producer knows
better than we can explain to
him the cost of producing an
acre of cotton or- of corn and
the price he-realizes' when it is
marketed. Cotton is an uncer-
tain crop at best. Corn for
market though more certain is
equally unsatisfactory as to net
profits. The que-tiou naturally
E resents itself: How am I to
eip myself! The answer is
more difficult to eliminate yet
plain.
Tho'soil and climate of Texas
are remarkably prolific and
I kindly. What Texas ban't pro
duce is hardly wortli prodnomg.
Our state will produce iu coib

ana a score of other things that
find a ready sale and at prices
fairly remunerative. None of
them require more labor to put
in marketable sbape than do
cotton or corn; that is compar-
atively speaking. Why not
plant themt Prolwtbly the main
reason is that they hare not
generally been cultivated in
new western cunnties and
fanners' tee) an uncertainty in
venturirur into what may scorn
'to fe a mere speculation or pass-
iHSxperinient. "
ohere k troth in the tradi-
rtiou wyil":idrajt; yet it is a
dinulence born more ot super-
stitious reverence for the cus-
toms of onr fathers tYfan ' of
practical citation. Wiilftamil-
nirity conies confidence and
greater knowledge as a matter
ot course and the more of these
crops produced the more likely
will they be good ones. But
is no valid reason why they can
not be made to pay from the
start.
As it is now the whole en-
ergy ot Texas is devoted to pro-
ducing a third of a crop ot cot-
ton and a fair crop ot corn
and flour bacon butter mo-
must be bought from the north -
provided the two staple leave
the produce enough profit to
buy them; otherwise he starves
it out on corn and hogs if he
ha3 any of the latte It is a
very policy indeed and comes
of a blunted business percep-
tion as much as from limited
means. It requires no thought
anil little labor to be poor; yet
larmers will toil and struggle
with all their might -ear alter
year in trying ti become poorer
than their neighbors by raising
cotton and corn and com and
cotton.
The tarmcr who cultivates by
his own unaided labor from
twenty-five to forty acres can
not evidently introduce so
great a variety of crops as the
plf utcr who operates on five
hundred or a thousand acres
lie can however calculate and
plan his work to the extent of
producing corn' enough for
Jeeding purposes wheat enough
for bread potatoes onions
porky bacon- bnttef e'tc.:tor the-
yearns provision. Ho can do
this and have a little of each to
sell and still raise some cotton
to furnish him with ready
money through the season. As
to how mnch of each crop to
plant or when to plant it he
must exercise his own judgment.
Tho more pretentious planter
can diversity his crops with
less vexation. Having an abund-
ance ot land he can devote
mote space to each and hiring
his labor his personal observa-
tion and supervision can be ap-
plied and directed with more
force on the general result.
Hm it is especially the average
farmer to whom these thoughts
are addressed. Round Rock

In 1872 your Vegetine was recom-
ru ended to ruejand. yielding to the per-
suasions of a friend I consented tn try
it. At the time I vas'suSering from
general debility and nervous pro tra-
tbn superinduced by overwork and ir-
regular habits. Its wonderfal strength-
ening and curative properties seemed
to affect my debilitated system from the
first dose; and under its persistent use
I rapidly recovered gaining more than
usual good health and good feeling.
Since then I have lint hesitated to give
Vegetine my most unqualified indorse-
ment as being a safe sure nd powerful
ageut in promoting health aud restor-
ing tho wasted system to nw life and
energy. Vegelineis the only medicine
I use aud as long as I live I never ex-

lKAt Silt A bout ten years ago my
health tailed through the depleting ef
fects of dyspepsia; i.early a year later
I was attacked by lypboid-tever in its
worst form. It settled iu my back and
took the form ot a large deep-rented
abscess which Hlteeu months in gath-
ering. I Imd two surgical operations
by the best skill in the State but le-
ceived no permanent cure. I rulfered
great pain at times and ws'constant!y
weakened by a profuse dis.liarue 1
a.JK lost Bau.ll pieces of bout) at differ-
ent timrs.
Matters ran on thus about seven
years till May; Is74.wheu a ftiend rec-
ummended me to go to your otiieeaud
talk with you of the virtue of Vegetine.
I did so and by your kindness parsed
through your manutartory uutiug the
ingredieuts ire. by which your reme-
dy ia produced.
By what I saw and heard I gained
some coufideuce in Vegetine.
I commenced taking it soon alter
but ielt worse from its elfects; still I
preserved and soon felt it was bene-
fiting me in other respects. Yet I did
not see the resnlts I desired till 1 had
taken it lalthtully for a little more thou
a year when' the difficulty in the back
was cured; and for nine months I. have
eujoyed the best of health.
1 bare in that time gained twenty-
five pounds of flesh being heavier than
ever before la' my life and I was never
more able to peifbrm labor than now.
During the past few weeks I bad a
scrofulous swelling as large ns my
fist gather on another part of my -body.
I took Vegetine faithfully and it re-
moved it level with the surface in a
month. I think I should have been
cured of-iny nivin trouble sooner it I
had taken larger doses alter having be-
come accustomed to its effe ts.
Lot yonr patrons troubled with bcrof-

It takes time to cure chronic diseases;
and if.they will patiently take Vege-
tine it will iu my judgment cure
