Texas Products Reach England.
Liverpool. England, May 13.—
The tramp steamer Binyonhill
has arrived in port after a rough
crossing. The vessel brought
over a general cargo of farm pro-
ducts shipped from the southern
part of Texas, U. S. A., of which
cabbage and onions were in the
majority. The unloading of the
cargo created considerable com-
ment as the vegetables were in
excellent condition, far exceeding
anything ever seen before in this
city.
Do not lose your good judg-
ment over politics, candidates
and political measures. Study
political questions and discuss
them with your neighbors if you
wish, but remember that your
neighbors have a right to their
opinions. In looking for candi-
dates to support consider their
moral qualifications as well as
their scholarship. No man who
is not morally clean,,no matter
how intellectual h§ may be, de-
serves support.—Exchange.
Buying Food for the Family.
The high cost of living shpuld
be in the farmer’s favor, says
Farm and Ranch. The fact that
meal, flour, pork, bacon, hams,
butter, beef and mutton are high
should be a source of profound
satisfaction to farmers. Least of
all men, should Southwest farm
ers complain at the pripe of food
products which may be raised on
our farms in abundance.
But there are many buying
these products with cotton. In
other words, cotton, a crop that
is exacting in its demand on soil
fertility, and requiring a large
amount of hand labor, is expected
to supply food products for the
family table afid feed for work
stock, when many of these feed
and food crops may be produced
cheaper and the soil left in better
condition for future crops.
Our farms are now conducted
too much on the buying principle
and not enough for selling. The
farm wagon should go to town to
sell products to town people and
not to bring home feed and sup-
plies shipped in from other sec-
tions. The men of the town
should be buying from the farm-
ers as well as farmers buying
from merchants.
The high cost of living that is
now agitating the minds of many
is in favor of farmers who diversi-
fy their crops and make it a rule
to produce their meat, butter,
milk, eggs, poultry and bread at
home.
