THE FARMERS' CONGRESS.
"Uncle Sncrt" Tells of His Visit to the
Congress and Says Everybody Was
Happy.
Oh yes! we just had the jolliest
good time from start to fiuish.
"Old Time" "turned backward"
at least ten years in his flight and
I do believe that every one felt
younger and happy except perhaps
Mr. Grumbler Mr. Faultfinder
and Mr. Big Me. Well I guess
they were happy too. Mr. Growler
enjoys the sweet privilege he has
of growling and Mr. Faultfinder is
happy in his own exalted opinion
of himself that he is smart enough
to point out the sins and mistakes
that everybody but himself makes
and Mr. Big Me envoys worship-
ping himself and pitying the igno-
rance of all those that can't see
that he should be awarded all the
blue ribbons and crowns of honor.
Well; perhaps it is a little hard
on the fellow who has a great big
opinion of himself to be let out in
the cold to see the blue ribbon
tied on the other fellow. Oh well
dont't cry honey for "This you
very well know There must be
briers where berries grow." I don't
know whether everybody knows a
whole lot of things that I don't
know or not. I know that the
Texas Farmers' Congress is the
biggest grandest and best organ-
ized body of farmers in the United
States and the best conducted and
that its present officers are noble
grand good and true men and
women and that they have the
good of this organization on their
hearts. They deserve the hearty
commendation and endorsement of
every man woman and child in
Texas for the honest faithful and
efficient work they have done and
are still doing. Let well enough
alone. I know that my wife is just
real smart and she says that I am a
fine looking "old duck'' and would
make a good president but that
the right thing for everybody lo do
when they go to the congress is to
I accept the situation and have a
good time keep sweet be good
and love everybody better than
self. She says that I got so lazy
there one day of the meeting that
my head went to sleep and that my
mouth took advantage of the situa-
tion and got up and did a whole
lot of talking which was all out
of place and I said yes and when
my head woke up he made my
mouth go and apologize for all that
big talk.
There was a time when I felt
that the A. and M. people had not
treated me exactly right aud though
I didn't saiy much I was "kinder"
pouty aoout it out now I can ee
that I was wrong .and can see
very clearly that our state legisla
ture owes it to the many industries
of Texas which are being so much
benefited by knowledge gained
from the experiments made and
lessons taught in the A. and M.
College and the vast thousands of
fruit and truck growers hog
raisers cattle raisers beekeepers
corn 3nd cotton growers and the
intelligent farmers who are looking
to this our own institution for
more light and to the army of
young men who are year after year
begging for admission into our A.
and M. College the state leuisla-
ture owes it to these men who aie
actually paying the taxes of this
state to make an appropriation of
at least $100000 that this institu-
tion may be so enlarged and equip-
ped as to meet the demauds of this
great state.
There is today no place in Texas
where the Fanners' Congress can
meet .and be as amply and as
cheerfully provided for as can be
done and is done at the A. aud M.
College. Bach of the organizations
composing the Congress can have
its same room to meet in and all
convenient. Its beautiful grassv
awns its abundant shade trees
and graveled walks yes it is an
ideal pl.ice for our meetings and
then it is ours we have bought it
and paid for it. The poultry
organizations are making a mistake
in not holding meetings annually
in connection with the Congress
Every farmer's organization in the
state should send delegates; we
need you. Organize a "Weed
Killers' Association" and come
in.
finally dear brethren if there
is anybody dissatisfied with the
present workings and management
of the Congress please come up to
Waxahachie I am hungry for a
fight. "Uncie Snort' in Texas

The Primaries.
The following is the entire vote
of Cameron county in the prima-
ries last Saturday. In three out of
the seventeen precincts no prima-
ries were held .
In the county officers the pres-
ent incumbents had no opposition
so it is unnecessary to give the vote
of each.

Which Is Yours?
There are five distinct types of
noses say the physiognomists. All
the hundreds of varieties are made
from these five types. Each one of
the five means a different thing. If
you will learn what they mean
says the same physiognomist ' you
will alwavs choose your friends
rieht and never be deceived in
business dealings.
The Roman nose means a cap
able executive character and as i
rule belongs to persons of determi
nation who accomplish tnings.
The Grecian nose is a sign of
refinement artistic and literary
qualities and a well-balanced mind
The "commercial" nose with a
hook at the end signifies the trad-
ing and bartering instinct in a large
degree.
ihe baby or snub nose may
belong to a pretty woman but she
won't be noted for her mental
strength.
The celestial nose is a straight
pointed nose that indicates gentle-
ness trustfulness and dependence.
Some of the variations on these
types are the long pointed Grecian
indicating a critical quick intui-
tive mind; the broad wide-nostril-
ed cogitative nose frqm whose
possessor one may look for new
ideas and practical theories; the
long melancholic nose dipping
down over the face whose owner
never sees the bright side of any-
thing; the impudent nose upturn-
ed and flaring and the irregular
nose which is said to be an un-
failing sign of bad temper.
There is certainly something
wrong in our social system when a
man is compelled to give all of Ins
energies to the "bread-and-butter"
question.
The man who is never quite sure
thinks perhaps" "imagines"
"guesses" or "presumes" is no
man to trust. His foundations are
built on sand.
LAOR SAVING DEVICES.
Many Machines Now on the Market to
Supplement Mustlc and Farm
Operations are Much Facilitated.
Necessity the mother of inven-
tion is working toward a couple
of revolutions in agricultural in-
dustry. Demoralization of labor
following the war compelled men
to devise mechanical means to
meet the stress of -the shortage of
workmen especially in the hand-
ling of cotton. The South's in-
ventive instinct of which there
had already been several notable
manifestations asserted itself and
though not fully recorded in the
patent ofiice at Washington pro
duced a number of mechanical im
provements still found very use-
ful. At that time Southern in-
dustry had already begun to revive;
manufacturing had scarcely begun
to drain muscle from agriculture.
But with a suddenness almost
startling that drain has come upon
the South and after 10 cr 15 years
is beginning to be keenly felt at
both extremes the factory and the
farm. Co-incident with it has
been a growing unreliability of the
class upon v.hich plantation opera-
tions eithei in cotton or in sugar
had largely depended. Conse-
quently men have been set to think-
ing out machines not so much to
supplant muscle as to do the work
for which muscle has become less
and less available. They have
talked of cotton picking machines
and Inventions to that end have
been given trial with more or less
success. The progress that has
been made is shown by a test made
last month of five different cane
loaders in Louisiana in the .esence
of a number of sugar-planters who
were so well satisfied' with the re-
sults that they had difficulty in
deciding which of at least three of
the machines was preferable. One
of these loaded 3400 pounds of
cane in five minutes and 36
seconds; another two tons of cane
in six minutes and 58 seconds and
the third two tons in five minutes
and 48 seconds. One mule is the
power needed to operate the load-
ers though one of them is arranged
so that a gasoline engine may be
used. It will be interesting to
note developments on this promis-
ing line and also on the line of
inventions of cotton-harvesters.
All of these cling to the idea of
substituting a machine for muscle
the actual pickine of cotton.
Great progress has already been
made but it is believed that the
real evolution will be accomplished
when escape is had from the idea
of picking the cotton in the fields
to the idea of cutting the plants
and gathering them by machinery
somewhat upon the plan of wheat
harvesting and then handling the
plants lor the fiber by machinery
combining threshing and ginning.
This idea involves changes in the
methods of planting cotton and ic
the handling of the growing plants
which may appear radical at first
glance but which it is believed are
practicable. Southern Farm Maga

"Useful and Ornamental.
A colored clergyman in Georgia
was performing the services of bap-
tism recently says Success Maga
zine when he paiiHKl in the midst
of the service to eiifjmre the name
of the infant. With a pleased
smile the proud mother replied:
We is goin' to call de chile
Shady."
"Shady!" repeated the minister.
Oh I see. It's a boy and his
name is to-be Shadrach."
"No sah it ain't no boy. It's
a girl."
"Why give such a name to a
girl?"
"It's dis way sah. Our name's
Bower an rnah husband "thought
it would be a fine thing to call her
Shady. Shady' Bower' sounds
kinder pretty."
