Say of tiie Cold Weather-.-
The country has been in the
grip of a norther for more than a
week. There had been no thaw
since early Wednesday morning
the 1st, until yesterday.
J. M. Breach of Reagan Valley
says the continued cold weather
is making “cattle draw,” but
wheat is all right.
J. R. Lilly says we have not
had as severe spell of weather in
twenty-nine years. It has been
colder, but not for so long a time
has the whole surface of the
country been so entirely covered
with sleet and snow. Cattle are
not getting anyting to eat only as
they are fed.
W. C. Kutch came to Jack
county in 1855. Speaking of
cold weather Mr. Kutch says
that in 1856 there was a cold
spell that lasted for six weeks.
The creeks were frozen so hard
that the ice had to be cut every
day to get water for stock, but
this sleet and snow covering ev-
ery foot of ground in all the
country is longer than any other,
but he has seen much heavier
snow fall which melted off in
places in a few days. He has
also seen the thermometer regis-
ter 13 degrees below zero. In
1881 the weather was much eold-
• than now, and again he has

there were ten horses crippled

Graham Leader: Last Monday
night the sad news was received
here from Arizona that Mr. Cas
Beckham, formerly of this place,
was killed in a railroad wreck
near Williams,'Arizona, on Mop-
day afternoon. Mr. Beckham
w;as a fireman on a Santa Fe
freight train, -which business he
has been engaged in the past
year or more. Mr. Beckham and
wife were both raised in this
county, and have no.t been away
from here hut a littje msbfcg

ut ives in this county and a host
of friends who deeply mourn the
untimely death of Mr. Beckham.
Sulphur Springs News: The
people of Corsicana made a hard
fight for Bible reading in the pub-
lic schools and finally won in the
courts. The Bible is the truth
and the very essence of wisdom
and knowledge, and the lack of
wisdom, knowledge and truth is
what hurts from youth to age

NEW MAGAZINES
THE NEW IDEA Woman’s Mag-
azine for March is full of pretty
designs for early spring dresses
and millinery. Handwork in its
charming simplicity still super-
sedes elaborate trimmings, and
many dainty dresseS depend en-
tirely for decoration on hand-run
tucks, shirring, faggoting, piping
other dainty finishings. The
Magazine has the usual amount
of fiction, and the household and
culinary departments are full of
instruction. Craig S. Thomas
writes on * ‘How to Attract Birds, ’ ’
which alone is worth the price of
the Magazine for a year. Fifty
cents a year. New Idea Publish-
ing Co., 636-638, Broadway, New
York.
THE DELINEATOR for March
contains the first authentic re-
ports of the spring and summer
styles, and is of special interest
to the woman of fashion, and a
most attractive number through-
out. A discussion of “The Use
and Abuse of Armorial Bearings, ”
by William Armstrong Crozier, is
a noteworthy contribution,
containing a fund of infor-
mation in regard to coat armor
that is little known or widely
disregarded. Charlotte Elliott’s
famous hymn, “Just as I Am,”
as related by Allan Sutherland,
is jpf greatest interest. Other
features are of equal interest.
There are amusing stories for the

Snow began falling last Thurs-
day night and continued to fall
in light showers until Sunday
morning. During that time quite
a heavy fall was the result. Cat-
tlemen say this week’s weather
has been very hard on cattle not
well fed, but where they have
been well fed there will not be
very great loss.
Reports from Oklahoma are to
the effect that the outlook is ex-
cellent for a good wheat crop in
the southwest part of the territo-
ry.
The decrease of receipts of
wheat in Chicago last week sent
up the price of wheat, corn and

seek to work in harmony with

In speaking of roads, the Den-
ison Herald says, good roads bet-
ter the social condition of the
country people and thereby help
to make life on the farm more
attractive. The Cisco Round-Up
says: Suppose the road that runs
by your farm to your town was a
a nice, smooth macadamized road,
how much would it be worth to
you? How much would it enhance
the value of your property? How
much would it save you in the
way of wear and tear on your ve-
hicles and time saved going to

mation concerning the status and
condition of the Egyptian cotton
crop, showing as it does, the wis-
dom of Southern planters holding
their cotton, for a higher price,
has just come to the department
of commerce and labor from Con-
sulJSmythe, at Tunstall, England.
Tunstall is in the Lancashire cot-
ton spinning district. Of the re-
ports, concerning Egyptian cot-
ton and of the efforts of English
spinners to force down the price
of the American crop, Mr. Smythe
said in his dispatch
“These reports are very dis-
couraging, inasmuch as they fore-
shadow a shortage of this year’s
crop of the class of staples that
comes into competition with
American cotton. For this rea-
son, I do not hesitate to say it
would be advisable to warn the
Southern planters against any
move on the part of Lancashire
manufacturers to force sales at
, , low prieea ih order to meet the
it js glad they reqUirements of such a deficiency.
“The general opinion in Lan-
cashire is that a plentiful supply
of American cotton can be had

was first received with smil
and derision, is now received;
a mighty factor in the market. It
is no longer a speculation as ’ to
their ability to hold, and is now a
question of how high must the
price go before they will send in
reasonably large quantities. In
some circles it is believed that
: ’armers will sell small quantities
of the cheaper grades at the pre-
vailing prices, or at a slight ad-
vance, but it is believed that the
better grades will continue in
storage until prices are much
higher.
Oswald Wilson says the great
cotton convention which was held
in New Orleans last week has
emphasized in no unmistakable
;erms that the prosperity of the
South is dependent upon diversi-
ication; that the welfare and
lappinese of every farmer, every
merchant and every banker is to
have each farmer practice diver-
sification, so that he may control
lis cotton instead of being con-
dolled by it; that he must make
it a surplus crop and not a sole
dependent. The South is rich in
fertile lands and an equitable
climate to produce all the great
food crops of the world, and with
livestock become the most inde-
pendent and prosperous section.
There is no other section of the
Union that can produce as great
a variety of crops as the South.
Mr. Wilson, in writing about
planting crops says: The soil
should be prepared for the com
crop the same as for cotton by
deeper fall plowing (or breaking)
of the land and winter cultiva-
tion. Breaking for corn ought to
be eight inches deep, but where
the previous breaking has only
been three or four inches, it will
not do to go down to eight inches
at once, hence it will be advisa-
ble in such cases to break only
about six or seven inches so as
not to stir up too much crude
soil, but reach a depth of eight
inches or more as soon as practi-
cable. The winter cultivation re-

tend to operate through agents

they are calculated to have a de-.

“My candid opinion is that an
enormous amount of money can
be saved to our planters by tak-
ing this matter up in time and
invoking the assistance of the
banks or the national treasury,
if such an arrangement can be
made, to enable the planters to
warehouse their cotton until the
present stocks are worked, up on
this side and the necessity of the
manufacturers compel them to
treat on more liberal Berms with
the growers or their representa-
tives, as the case may be.

assets of one year’s crop, and
add materially to wealth and
prosperity of the South.
Galveston, Feb. 3.—The deter
mination of the Southern plant-
cys to holjl their cotton, which
discing the land at intervals of
twenty to thirty days so as to put
it in the beat of condition for
planting. Plant early as the sea-
son will permit, in rows six feet
apart on rich land, and five apart
on hill lands and worn bench,
bottom or prairie lands. Where
corn is planted five and six feet
apart in rows, it will bear a little
crowding in the row. It may be
single stalks once in ten to twelve
inches, according to the fertility
of the land, or it may stand two
stalks in a place once in twenty
to twenty-four inches;- the single
stalk is preferable. The wide
rows allow the sunshine to pene-
trate to the soil and gives a bet-
ter ear than where the planting
is done in narrow rows. In the
selection of seed corn better re-
sults in bushels will be reached
by selecting promising varieties,
grown not more than 200 miles
north of the field to be planted.
It should not be understood that
it is necessary to secure com
grown one to two, hundred miles
north. Promising varieties grown
in the immediate neighborhood,
if they have been carefully select-
ed, will undoubtedly give the
most satisfactory results. The
objection to com grown in the
immediate vicinity is that it has
not as a rule been selected with
care, and hence it is almost im-
possible to get pure bred com
except from some seedsman who
has taken unusual pains to keep
it pure. The ears should be of
medium length with kernels deep,
and firm well filled at the ends
and with small cob. Above all it
should be com specially selected
and carefully housed, and not
taken at random from a crib. In
planting reject the irregular ker-
nels at each end, and use plenty
of seed.
