A young man, Will Nulty, of unsound
mind, was captured yesterday afternoon
by the police and locked up for safe keep-
ing. When overtaken he was nude, but
had a coat under his arm. Officer Fisher
procured a pair of overalls for him, and
dressed in the two garments he seemed
well contented. He lives with his mother
in the Fourth ward (north).

On Thursday Aiderman Riesner, acting
mayor, visited and inspected the First
ward building, the walls of which are
ready for the first story and in which
the first floor is being laid. The work
is pronounced excellent and payments to
the extent of several thousand dollars
have already been made on it. All mod-
ern methods will enter into the construc-
tion of this building, including the im-
proved not air closets, with which the
Cascara building is also fitted. Mr. Ries-
ner was much pleased with the progress
made, ^.nd will on recommendation of the

To Kill Red Ants.
Texas Farm and Ranch.
I learn 'today that some of the farmers
near Alexander have discovered a very
simple and ciheap remedy for destroying
red 'ants effectually. The discovery was
the .result of accident. A farmer had car-
ried some eggs to town in coitlton seed. On
returning home he threw the seed on an
ant 'Mil near the door, (and soon after he
noted the disappearance. He concluedd
then to try the remedy on his cultivated
land. He dug out some ant beds about
a foot square and one and a half feet
deep, poured in something Tike a bushel of
cotton seed to each 'hole, and then covered
the’seed With earth. It dis said that the
seed destroyed the pests. Perhaps some
of your readers would like to experimnt.
Of course I can not vouch for the truth-
fulness of the experiment, but the story
comes to me through a most trustworthy
source, and there may be something in it.
At least it don’t cost much Ibo test the
matter. Jenks.
The Post has received from A. W.
Morris, at Bowers, four pears, weighing
respectfully 21, 21XA, 22 and 23 ounces.
They were raised within two miles of
Bowers by Lon Platt, justice of the peace
for the precinct, who planted the tree
seven years ago. The fruit is of the Kei-
fer variety, and the tree has this year
{fielded about five bushels of pears. Mr.
Morris, who is the esteemed agent fct

that the piney woods district of our State
is good for something besides lumber.”

The Western Farmer tells us that dur-
ing thq hot weahter it is a good idea to
examine the axles of the wagons and bug-
gies every day. A few drops of oil will
save the horses a great deal of unneces-
sary work. There is no easier way of
“pushing behind,” than by means of a
few drops of castor oil. Oil is cheaper
than muscles.
going to put a flock of sheep upon the
farm, begin slowly and cautiously. Buy
two or three full bred ewes and thorough-
bred sire as a •nucleus. Decide upon the
breed you wish to keep, then grade up
the remainder of the flock by using the
thoroughbred sire on the common sheep.
In this way in a few years a fine flock
may be secured. Make mutton the pri-
mary object, and alt the same time strive
to put as much wool on the bark of the
Sheep as possible, remembering that the
foods which produce the most and best
mutton also produce the best wbol. The
best foods are early cut hay, brewers’
grain, ground oats, wheat bran, wheat
middlings and others of like character.
Give the sheep the best of care and warm
quarters, as no other farm animal so
keenly feels the cold and storm. Make the
barns light and well ventilated, and have-
water and salt free of access.
A Son of T. J. Ray Accidentally In-
jured With a Gun.
News reached the city last evening from
Hearne that Al Ray, son of Trainmaster
Ray, of the Intenat'ional, had been badly
injured by an accidental shot from a 22-
caliber target rifle.
Mr. Ray is in the employ of the Central
at Hearne, and yesterday in company
with another young man and a couple of
young ladies went for a walk in the
woods, and a target rifle was taken along
for amusement. How he was shot is not
known, but the ball entered the left shoul-
der a/t the back and was taken out just
over the heart.
The condition of the young man is re-
ported as critical,, though he is able to
be moved and will arrive on this morn-
ing’s Central and be taken to his father’s
residence. He has many friends here
who wish him speedy recovery.
Richard Harding Davis has put some of

will be widely read.
The Railroad Trainmen’s Journal for
September is an unusually interesting
number, discussing many matters of in-
terest to railroad men in a clear and .em-
phatic manner. It is evidently well sup-
ported by the various organizations of
trainmen, as it should be, for it is their
representative in the great struggle of
life, and more especially where “organ-
ized capital” is the enemy.

of tlie Government's
Dehorning—Growing
An agricultural paper says 'tlh'at success
includes profits, and therefore successful
farming means mwe than growing large
crops. It means growing ’the crops, live
stock, etc., for which the best prices are
realized. It takes some foresight to de-
termine wfhat these are from year Ito year.
Therefore the successful farmer must
be a good reader, a constant reader and
thinker; skilled and practiced in 'these so
that by his knowledge of the past condi-
tions he can reason out the future. The
weather predictions for twenty-four hours
in advance are predicted on the direction
the wind is blowing at given points; its
velocity, atmospheric pressure, state of
t'he barometer and 'thermometer in given
localities. When these conditions were so
years and times before, such and suoh
kinds of weather occurred at this and that
point. It bakes intelligent and patient
application to determine these weather
futures. And so it is with the intelligent
and reading farmer. His papers lit-
erature bring to him the varied condi-
tions of production, trade and prices, sup-
ply and demand, in all quarters. He must
study and familiarize himself with all
these, not for a day, a week, or a year,
but constantly all his life, if be hopes
for success. Tlhe battle of life is a men-
tal one as well as physical. It must be
kept up contstantly in both fields to make
1'ife successful. Coming down to practical
things, one has very clearly said that it i's
very clear to one who studies the drift
of things just now that the most success-
ful farmer will be the one who changes
his system to meet the changed condition
of demands for Hit's products, and, as far
as his circumstances will permit, to pro-
duce those special crops that sell most
easily and are most easily grown. Thus
the most successful farmer of the present
time are those who rear market pigs,
lamb, poultry, or fine dairy stock; grow
potatoes, celery, small fruits, or hay;
make fine butter or fancy cheese; produce
milk or cream for sale, and who in their
special 'Ways supply demands for Single
products that meet with ready and profit-
able sales.
This system has become so common and
successful that there are localities where
nothing ’but one special product is culti-
vated, as potatoes, onfflonis, celery, poultry
Vintages, fruit plantations, dairies congre-
gated -around a cheese factory or a cream-
ery, flocks of lambs only near good ship-
ping points, and this special farming is
made all the more possible by excellent
facilities for cheap transportation. Celery
is sent all over the South from Indiana
and Michigan; hay goes tlhe same way 1000
miles; onibns are sent from New York
and Ohio all over the country and to for-
eign lands; watermelons from Georgia go
all over 'the North; peaches from Dela-
ware and Maryland, and the earliest ones
from Central Georgia,, find purchasers
everywhere; and so it is all through the
list of moist important products. And the
time has come when this method must be
followed by every farmer who may have
the.facilities for production or transporta-
tion. There is no risk of overdoing it,
the consumption is always ahead of pro-
duction and always will be in such cases
as require skilled management.
People who have had business with the
office of Tax Collector Curtin—and they
comprise nearly the whole community-
will hereafter miss one whom they ever
found with a pleasant word on his lips
and a hand ready to accommodate. For
months it has been known that the days
of Ernest A. Treviss were numbered, and
that consumption would soon claim him
for its own. Since the first of the year
Mr. Treviss has been engaged with Tax
Assessor McKinney on the tax rolls, and
jbut a few days since was at his desk,
faithful to the last. Yesterday morning
at 3 o’clock his spirit departed. He was
aged 38 years, and will be buried this
morning at 10 o’clock from the residence
of H. M. Curtin, corner of Webster ave-
nue and Fannin street, interment to tak®
place in the Catholic cemetery.

The quiet of an old time Sunday per-

people of their young days, when the
open door of a store was not seen and
the day was one of rest and church go-

days once more, but the genius of prog-
ress has swept them to the rear and they
no more live save in story or in the minds
ofmen and women whose hair is whitened
by the hand of time, which itself has
worked the great changes one sees on
every side.

How to Prevent the Growth of Horns
Professor Roberts’ - bulletin on dehorn-
ing, like everything he has to say, is em-
phatic and to the point. It deals first
with the “cruelty” aspect of the question,
as.it has come before the courts of the
UliXed States, Canada and Great Britain,
and reaches the conclusion that in cases
where the operation is performed with
- reasonable care and skill prosecutions are
not likely to result in conviction, unless
it .be in England.
Prof. Roberts has been for some years
an advocate of dehorning, but prefers pre-
venting the growth of horns wherever
this is possible. To this end various ex-
periments have been tried at the station,
which the professor says "warrant the
following recommendations:"
1. That for efficiency, cheapness and
ease of application, stick caustic potash
can be safely recommended for prevent-
ing the growth of horns.
2. The earlier the application Is made
in the life of the calf the better.
The following are the directions for ap-
plying the caustic:
The hair should be closely clipped from
the skin and the little - horn moistened
with water to which soap or a few drops
of ammonia have been added to dissolve
the oily secretion of the skin, so that the
potash will more readily adhere to the
surface of the horn. Care must be taken
not to moisten the skin except on the
horn where the potash is to be applied.
One end of a stick of caustic potash is
dipped in water until it is slightly soft-
ened. It is then rubbed on the moistened
surface of the little horn. This operation
is repeated from five to eight times, until
the surface of the horn becomes slightly
sensitive. The whole operation need take
only a few minutes, and the calf is appar-

The Atlantic for September runs chap-
ters 5 and b ot Charles Egbert Craddock’s
story, “His, Vanished Star.” Like all
Miss Murfree s stories, it has for its set-
ting the grand and lofty scenery of the
Tennessee mountaing. and its people are
the homely mountaineers, every figure in-
stinct with lite. Henry A. Clapp fur-
nishes a charmingly written and critical
analysis of Edwin Booth’s work, which
is perhaps one of the deepest and most
appreciative articles on Booth yet given
to the public. Wildcat Banking in the
Teens,” “The Isolation of Life on Prairie
Farms,” and ‘ A Russian Summer ite-
sort,” are interesting articles.
Table Talk for September has reached
the book table, and with its list of appe-
tizing menus and its hints about delight-
ful dishes, charming tables and pretty
receptions, it makes one glad that the
frosts and “northers” are almost due,
with all their attendant pleasures. Mrs.
Grason, in “The Table Allowance,” tells
how to systematize household expenses.,
Helen Louise Johnson furnishes the
menus for September, one for every meal

The Magazine of American History for

Nothing will promote laying in winter
more than a small patch of grain, sown
where the fowls can get it and pick it at
will. It beats stimulating condiments that
wear out the digestive aparatus.
Heavy fertilizing operates in two ways,
to defeat drouth; it hurries the crop to
maturity before the drouth can do its
work; and it causes a heavy growth that
shades the ground and prevents to some
extent evaporation by heat.
A large majority of farmers can make
more on a fifty-acre farm than one con-
taining the traditional 200. No farmer
should pay taxes on land he has no
use for, nor attempt to cultivate more
than he can thoroughly handle in the
most unfavorable conditions.
Feed farmers in the Southwest should
set their wits to work to have green feed
in abundance all the year round, thus dis-
countinig the silo. The Alabama Experi-
ment station has shown that rye will
afford four cuttings, aggregating ten tons,
per acre during a winter, and that It is
superior to corn silage.
It is said that Canada and Denmark
produce the finest bacon in the world, and
that which brings the highest prices in
the high-toned markets' of Europe. This
superiority is claimed to be the result of
feeding on green food and fattening on
green peas and barley to which is added
dairy products whenever possible.

Celebration by the Congregation in
Houston.
Today is the Jewish New Year 5654,
beginning yesterday at 6 p. m., and serv-
ices will be held this morning at 9 o’clock.
Atonement Day and Feast of the Taber-
nacles follows, with other days of'feast or
fast, including the feast of the Law.
T'he occasion will be observed by both
the ,Congregation Beth Israel and the
Congregation Adash Yeshurum. The for-
mer congregation was organized Decem-
ber 28, 1859, and was reorganized in 1873.
There were originally forty members and
at present there are about eighty. The
Congregation Adash Yeshurum was or-
ganized about two and a half years ago,
and has greatly increased in numbers.
Places of business of Jewish merchants
and others will be closed today in respect
for the religious anniversary.
Rabbi Levi thus speaks in the Austin
Statesman of the day:
The true Israelite will go to the holy
shrine to worship the God of Israel, the
creator of all that exists. To tell a non-
Jew what this day is to us would be a
vain endeavor to make him understand
the Import. They must be lived, and felt
and experienced as is done by us Jews
to comprehend its grandeur and beauty. .
We keep RoSh Ha Shanah according to
the old Scriptures on the first day of the
seventh month of “Tishri.” (Lev. xxiii,24).
The biblical name of the feast is the day
of the Shofar or Trumpet and its object is
self-examination of our conduct during
the past year and throughout repentance.
T'he other names of the feast are Day of
Memorial and Yom Hasikoron.
The character of a “New Yaar celebra-
tion” is of a much later date than the
biblical era. This new feature of interest
was most likely added to the first day of
“Tishri” after the return of the Israel-
ites from the Babylonian captivity, so
that “Tishri” became the Jewish civil
New Year and “Nisian” the religious one.
Through this double character the sol-
emnity of the feast was heightened,
its sanctifying power considerably __
hanced. “The Rosh Ha Shanah” might
properly awaken in us Jews the following
thoughts:
First—A year of our life’s journey is at
an end. How was it spent? How many
pages of life’s journal show forth our
good and noble deeds? Have we improved
in goodness, Wisdom and knowledge?
Whom have we offended or wronged?
Whom have we to forgive? Have we been
faithful to our religious obligations?
Second—A new year begins its course.
What will it have in store for us? Sun-
shine or storms? Joy or sorrow? Happi-
ness or misfortune? Life or death? Such
self-examination and reflection will ca>use
us to renew and increase our energies, to
make the proper amends and earnestly
resolve to repent and to make peace with
ourselves, our neighbor and our heavenly
varieties is

SHOT THROUGH THE BODY.
The Government Seed®.
Texas Stockman.
The department of agriculture, notwith-
standing the great demand by constitu-
ents of congressmen for free seeds of all
kinds, still continues to introduce to all
portions of the Nation, promising new
plants and varieties to be grown by care-
ful, intelligent farmers, who will report
results. Staple seeds should not be do-
nated, but congress has decreed that they
shall be, and the secretary of agriculture
is purchasing in the open market seeds
grown in the United States, the quality
of the seed and the price being the only
questions considered. Secretary Morton
says: “To get the best seeds for the least
money is the object I have in view, and
to this end I invite the widest competition
on the part of seedsmen the world over.
I trust that growers of the best seed of
all plants available for American agri-
culture, in whatever part of the world
they may be, will seek to supply us, as
a special clause in the bill provides that
plants, trees, shrubs, seed cane and seeds
imported by the department of agriculture
shall be admitted free of duty. If the gov-
ernment is going to continue in the busi-
ness of seed distribution, however, I can
not see why it should not go a step fur-
ther than now and grow its own seeds.”
And why should not the seeds thus multi-
plied be those which the experiment sta-
tions have improved, or at least Have
tested, and found worthy of introduc-
tion?

At the First Baptist church in the morn-
ing the pastor gave way to Rev. Mr.
Lamkin, who preached a fine sermon from
the text, “I am not ashamed of the gos-
pel of Christ.” The style of the speaker
is chaste and vigorous, withal simple but
highly impressive, and the congregation
was greatly pleased.
At night at the German Baptist church,
in the Fourth ward (north), the pastor,
Rev. H. C. Gleiss, was formally ordained,
and services will continue during the
week under conduct of Rev. F. J. Gleiss
of Waco. In the afternoon there was a
meeting of the council prior to the ordina-
tion.
Shearn chureh had its usual good sized
congregation morning and night, and as
usual the pastor, Rev. Dr. Rankin, spoke
words that will not be forgotten by those
who heard him. This divine grows closer
to his people every day, and his plain and
unpretending piety ha.s found him a warm
place in the hearts of many people out-
side his own church membership.
The event of the day was the tent meet-
ing in the evening, corner of Lamar ave-
nue and Main street. Rev. Mr. Lamkin
is conducting these meetings, which will
continue every evening this week, and
last night every seat was filled and num-
bers of men stood outside the tent and
paid strict attention to what was said.
The attendance has grown steadily, and
today additional seats will be provided,
that as many as possible may be accom-
modated. At the conclusion of the ser-
vice Mr. Lamkin announced that this
evening at 7:30 o’clock a song service
will take place, after which he will
preach on “The Devil.” He said he did
not wish to be understood as being like
a brother once said in announcing that
a celebrated divine would preach on the
same subject, when it was said the speak-
er was “full of his subject,” but he has
some plain truths he desires to tell the
people and he hopes to see the seats all
filled. Many persons were heard, after
the services were over, to compliment the
sermon in the highest terms.
At the Second Baptist church, in the
Fifth ward, the pastor preached in the
morning and Rev. Dr. Duncan of Nava-
sota preached at night, to a congregation
that filled every seat. Dr. Duncan will
remain and preach for several days, and
the meetings may be continued for the
entire week and probably longer.
At the Baptist mission, on LaBranch
street, there was Sunday school in the
afternoon at 4:30 o’clock, and at 8:15
o’clock there was preaching by the city
missionary, Rev. Mr. Townsend.
