Castor Beans,
B. 11. .Lowry, of Walker. Mo.,
writes the Brenham Oil Mill as
follows:
All lands suitable for corn and
cotton will do lor castor beans.
The land must be cultivated the
same way. We plant here as early
as possible as our fall frosts kill
the plant; we plant two beans to
tho hill, two and a half to throe
feet apart in rows like cotton so it
can be cultivated with a plow. It
is customary to leave the fifth or
sixth row wide enough for a wagon
to pass through. We gather the
beans in a sled with a box on it
drawn by a horse. We cut the
beans when the bur turns brown.
Wesmootha piece of land 25x30
feet about like a threshing floor.
The bunches of beans are
spread on the floor early in the
morning where tho sun will open
them. Tho beans are swept to-
gether and the hulls thrown away;
care must be taken that none of
the beans are trodden upon or
crushed. Care must be taken to
keop the dew off of the gathered
beans iia they lose their color an i
deterioate in value. One bushel
of seed will plant teu acres. Don't
let the stock eat of the plant or
beans, it is sure death. The yield
is 15 to 20 bushels to the acre.
The price was formerly si.10 to
81.25 and 81.50 per bushel.
A bushel of castor beans weighs
46 pounds. One halt bushel will
plant 5 acres of ground.
There is everj' reason to believe
that the castor bean will do well
in this county; how much cau be
raised oil an acre and the probablo
profit we are unable to say. The
Banner would suggest to farmers
that first experiment in castor
bean culture; it can be done at
very small cost, a gallon of beaus
will plant more than acre; meas-
ure off carefully half an acre or
more of land and cultivate it care-
fnl'y, plant early and if the frost
catches tho plant try again. By
this means every ni8n can ascer-
tain for himself what the probable
yield per acre will be, and if the
beans can be successfully raised,
then the next season a crop ol
them can be raised ; if there is no
home market the railroads will no
doubt make a special rate to ship
car load lotsa& it is to their inter-
est to encourage every now in-
dustry that makes traffic for thom.
It is more than likely that the
Brenham Oil Mill will add special
machinery for making castor oil as
soou as a supply of beans sufficient
to justify the outlay can bo obtain-
ed. A sample of the castor beans
can be seen at 1his office, and seed
can be obtained in quantities to
suit at the Oil Mill.
Whitney Messenger : Great trol-

ner heat Stevo liackworth, Jaa. L.
Moore and Carl Shutxe up. Yea.
It sets em on fire, ail over and all

is personally acquainted with
them. The Banner is doing rood

Charlie gave ont this pua&le io
the company. A boy, pointing to
a girl, said : "That girl is my own
and only sister, my parents had
but one child, and I am that child.
Who can explain this puixle?"
When all had given it up, Charlie
said: "The explanation is th* boy
lied."
SOUND LOGIC.
The professions are overstocked
Doctors are without patients and
laywers without clients, as mostot
them should be; but good lands
are cheap and plenty. Intelligent
laborers on tho farms are scarce
and better paid than any other
class. Farming has been accepted
as a last resort for those unable to
live by their wits, or good enough
for such as were considered incap-
able of or indifferent to thorough
culture. The mentally active boy
has takon a medical course or a law
course of lectures after completing
his education at the academy or
college. These avenues are now
full to repletion; thoy are in great
need of thftrough drainage. Now
that farmers begin to see that they
need more knowledge and business
methods to attain any standing in
their own business, and to fill cre-
ditably such public stations as their
numbers and their occupations enti-
tle them, let them win back their
sons from the shop and office to
their farms, where all their intelli-
gence can be more profitably em-
ployed. Let them send tbdir sons
to tho agricultural college instead
of the medical school; let them at-
teud a course of lectures on botany
and chemistry instoad of law, and
thoy may possibly do something to
make farmimg more attractive as
woll as profitable, and take that
station in life to which the poet's
fancy has assigned him.
MarliuBall: Topolobampo, the
objective point of the Fort Worth
and Rio Grande Railroad, is near
the twenty-fourth parallel on tho
coast of the Gulf of California in
the state of Sinaola, Mex. This
state and that of Sonora was the
land of the Topolobampo, a tribe
of Indians who once held all of that
country as their heritage, but have
passed from the land as the whites
advanced. The climate is delight-
ful and the undeveloped resources,
both mining and agriculture, onco
brought under the alchemistic hand
ofthe Anglo-Saxon race, may yet
bring to light the veritable El Do-
rado which has been the dream of
all explorers. This road will afford
an outlet for tho iron of Durango,
the precious metals of Chihuahua
and the varied products of the
states adjacent, and Texas will not
bo slow in reaping the benefits.

KBEP S1LSHT.
"I do not know that I ought to
say anything on this sabjeet," is
often theopeningsentonootoftlofur
speech. If the speaker tolls tho
truth, he should by all means r^
main silent. No one should arise
to address an audience till he knows
that he has something to ssr and
that he ought to say it. His
thoughts should be so imporstiYelY
demanding utterance that ho is ful-
ly persuaded that the world will
lose something if he does not speak.
If he feels thus he is very sure to
be in earnest, he can hardly fail of
being eloquent. The man who
knows he ought to say something
will bo sure of having interested
hearers. People will not hint to
him by taking out their watehes
that they wish him to sit down.
On the contrary they will forget
all about the passage of time in
their eagerness to catch bis every
word. He may, if he be very much
in earnest, make them forget the
speaker in their absorbing atten-
tion to what is being spoken. But
the man who questions the pro-
priety of his speaking will bo al-
most sure to proceed at a halting
rate. They whom he addresses as
hearers will not be hoaring, and if
notwellbread will betray their im-
patience. We urge it upon these
to remain silent. You will bevery
apt to bore, and will be almost
sure to do no good. But if you
have in your mind some thoughts
which you believe with your whole
soul ought to be proclaimed to the
world, speak, speak! speak!! Nsrror
repress a word when conscioaoo
and common sense bid the utter-
ance, but never speak unless these
command you to do so.

The Rapidity of Progreaa Toward Health,
Even when a good remedy foi»disease is se-
lected, depends in tome measure upon the
manner in which it is taken. Irregular, in-
terrupted doses can afford no lair test of the
efficacy of any medicine, however salutary.
Taken'in proper doses at prescribed inter-
vals, a reliable curative will effect the cbject
of its use. Among remedies which, syste-
matically and persistently used, accomplish
thorough and lasting cures, and prevents the
