Referring it to tlie People.
Austin Bttitcsmnn.
Tboso members of' the legisla-
ture who voted for the joint reso-
lution amending tlio constitution,
so as to permit the ti|>pouitriient of
a railroad commission, displayed
true statesmanship, us well as a
strict conformity to demofratic
ideas. Suclt a resolution would be
a practical reference of the whole
question of railroad le/nlation
back to tlie people—the source of
all power in this government—for
them to Bottle directly at the bal-
lot-box. The wisdom of the reso-
lution is only equal to its justice.
Were the present legislature to
pass the commission bill—even
supposing it ;t constitutional meas-
ure—it would be simply an act
passed in obedience to a supposed
populttr wish, which theopponenls
of railway legislation affirm does
not exist in Texas. No better
method for ascertaining the desire
of the people of this state concern-
ing railroads could be adopted than
snumiiting the question to ihem at
the polls. Then there could be no
mistake. If they desire a commis-
sion — let them say so by their bal-
lots, just as they will soon be
called upon to pronounce on pro-
hibition. From their decision
there could and would be no ap-
peal. It would be final. It would
relieve the representatives of tho
people in legislative halls from
tho responsibility of a decision
that, after all, might not meet tho
approval of their constituencies.
A popular vote on sueli an amend-
ment as that proposed in this joint
resolution would show whether
there is such, or any complaint
afnong tho people touching rail-
roads, whiob, if it does not exist,
has not sbown itself in the shape
of petitions, resolutions of mass
meetings, or other mediums of
public opinion.

Race troubles are growing oat of
the recent incendiary fires at Ox-
ford, N. O,
deep or shallow corn culture.
Says a Nebraska correspondent
of The Prairio Farmer: Probably
nineteen-twentieths of the farmers
who raise corn believe that "deep
cultivation is necessary to its per-
fection." Some think that during
dry weather especially thej* must
cultivate deep ; that corn roots at-
tain only about eight to ten inches
in length at maturity; while othors
believe that corn has more roots
than needed, and advocate cutting
off a little portion of these. In
fact, when the plant is from four to
six inches high, the roots are from
fifteen to sixteen inches long,
boon after the roots invariably
meet in the row, and often crowd
each other, from three to four inch-
es under the surfrce. The writer
traced a corn root last season (when
the corn was about thirty inches
high), twenty.lhree L el from the
hiil. That the root i* the itfo ol
the plant, r.o one will dispute.
Those who have taken the trouble
to examine the roots ot corn know
that ihey torm a comple o network
of fibrous roots ; and surelv a plant
must have an abundam e of roots
to mature its grain in from ninety
to one hundred days. What has
given the people the idea of deep
cultivation '( It is probably this:
If the shovel plow is used and not
run pretty deep it will do no good.
It will not kill tho weeds an.i yrass,
and with weeds and grass ihero
can not be good corn. Hence, as
deep plowing will kill the weeds,
and not totally kill the corn, many
think it the best method.
The writer saw a field of corn
last season that did not have a cul-
tivator put into it until it was
more than twenty inches high.
This field had been harrowed with
an ordinary slanting tooth harrow,
from the time it was planted until
it attained that heiglmy^not when
the ground was wet, /<ot earl}' in
the morning or late in the evening
—at such times tho plant is tender
and brittle, and liable to break—
hut in the heat of the day. when
ono can kill weeds and not injure
the corn. This field was absolute-
ly tree from weeds and grass when
the harrowing was discontinued,
and in about ten days or two weeks
it was "laid by" wiih an ordinary
cultivator, set so as to not go over
three to four inches deep. This
man eutjvery few, if any corn roots.
His field of forty acres yielded
eighty bushels per acre, while a
field adjoining that was cultivated
deep, and kept clear with an equal
stand, and similar conditions with
regard to soil and previous culti-
vation, yielded but forty-three
bushels per acre. All admit that
fall plowing holds moisture longer
than spring plowing, the soil be-
comes compact, and if slightly
worked on the surface, so as to
prevent "baking," the warm sun
will draw the moisture nearly to
the surface. It will cost but a
trifle to try tho experiment on a
small piece adjoi ling the regular
crop. A slanting tooth harrow
will not injure young corn plants,
if worked in tho heat of the day.
PArmkb'8 Boys.—-The majority
of the boys who leave the farm be-
cause they can't make a living,
find it a very poor living they
make at anything else. The only
good reason a boy can find for
leaving tho larm is, that it is not
adapted to his teste, and yet not a
few mistake their calling evon
thon. Tho farmer can, with a few
principles of shrewdness and econ-
omy, mako a living, it nothing
more, while tho man of salary may,
through sickness or some other
cause,lose his position, and if he
has a family dependent upon him,
he spon finds himself in a position

GROW YOUR OWN FARM TEAMS.
Philadelphia Farm and Garden.
Wo admit, tho farmer can buy a
farm team that may answer his
purpose as fully as though he rais-
ed them on his own farm; but we
very much donbtthat he can do so
as economically as ho could pro-
duce it on his own farm. We would
advise every farmer to select a
good brood maroand begin proper-
ly to grow good stock to replace
the worn-out, animals on his farm.
A proper selection of the brood
mare as well as that of the sire,
and good disposition, freedom from
bad habits, and also freedom from
disease, should be looked for.
These are all transmissib'c to the
foal, and, when broken to harness,
it often shows a predisposition to
tho samo habits as indicated by tho
brood mare and sire.
The perfect farm team is not too
heavy for activity but with nerve
and weight enough to take a plow
easily, at a full gait all da}-, and
not be worn and fatigued. Too-
heavy teams are not desirable, un-
less it he for heavy carrying; and
teams loo light to do farmwork re-
quire moro feed, better care, and
break down moro easily than teams
of proper wjight.
The cost of keeping a colt to its
maturity is considerable, but is not
so great as the market value of it
were it sold. There is also another
advantage. It you breed from good
stock, which is tough and hardy,
you will have an animal whose
value you know, and one whose
habits and disposition are familiar.
We regard this as a valuable fea-
ture in our home grown farm
teams.
When the farm is large, and we
need heavy teams for road use, we
would try the heavy Norman hors-
es. and breed from as near pure-
blood mares as possible. This will
give greater activity than is cross-
ed on mongrel brood mares. We
wished farmers everywhere would
take moro interest in farm teams
and the growing of thom. We see
no greater attraction on the farm
than a pair of noble, spirited
horses; and no matter if the rest
of tho farmers turnout is not
showy, yet his team will attract
attention, and have, as it should,
many admirers.

Turkish Women at Home.
Brooklyn Magazine. ' ' : ? s i
Alurkish woman will at any
moment, if tbe caprice seises be*
give away her finest jewels. The
hospitality of these women is too
well known to require mention.
They always have coffee an<lsweat*
meats served for any and
guests, and when they feel that the
visit has lasted long enough they
clap hands and the caffojee brings
a second cup of coffee, and that is
the signal. No guest can stay
longer than to drink this. Some-
times the between drinks is decid-
edly short. Tho women and child-
ren do not undress at night, but
add a wadded night-robe to the
clothes they already have on, and
sleep thus summer and winter.
They close all the doors and win-
dows, and sleep several in a room,
and doubtless would suffer dread-
fully from the confined air were it
not that tho Turkish carpenters
never have heard of the plnmb-
ltne, and so windows and doors all
hnvo crevices which supply venti-
lation. Die tales ot Oriental mag-
nificence fail to impress one who
has visited the best harems, for
they are one and all pictures of
dirt and wanton extravagance.
The only groat display is in the
amount of rugs and jowolry. On
the floors of the general room for
tho women or tho private suits it
is al ways the same—cigaretto onds,
candles, nut-shells, necklaces, gold-
embroidercd slippers and sashes,
and, in short, all sorts of disorder
and dirt. And the women are
always eating, smoking, or lolling
about the divans.
