sparrow, which were introduced in-
to this country a few years ago, at
great expense, and with so much
promise, are now declared to be

drive away useful birds, and the
carp are charged with destroying
better fish native to our waters.
In some states combined action is ’
being taken against the German fish.

school about as far away in an op-
posite course; no neighbor'within a
convenient or safe distance.. This
habit of living.apart has grown up-
on the people ofthe south probably
because of the vast stretches of un-
settled territory found there not
many years ago by the pioneers.
It grew stronger because of-slavery
and the plan of rural life under
which each plantation became a
colony which it was deemed better
to keep to itself. Conditions have
changed, yet we see little evidence
of a disposition to alter the old hab-
it of isolation, loneliness, inconven-
ience and danger. A few incoming
colonists have gone back to the old
country method of village farming
.which prevailed in delightful little
rural centers like “sweet Auburn,
loveliest village of the plain,” be-
fore the greedy iconoclast arrived.
There are some of these neighborly
colonists in Texas, gathered togeth-
er in their homes at the crossroadb,
with church, school, postoffice, mill,
biacksmith shop and store all at
hand. -There should be more set-
tlements of the kind. Such an ar-
rangement will certainly lead to a
higher order of education, to a high-
er civilixation, than* the old plan of
quitting the. world cold. “Weare

Your Texan, when he binds him-

the one who commands esteem from

As to self-made men, so-called,
the Big Springs Pantagraph point-
edly remarks: A great deal of non-
sense is written about self-made
men,.but a careful inquiry into their
past usually develops the fact that
a majority of them have either mar-
ried, stolen or had fortunes given
to them. In this day of keen com-
petition very few men acquire for-
tune by honest individual effort.
This is said with no disposition to
discourage industry- and honesty
but simply to correct an erroneous
impression as to how many “self-
made” men are really made. .. •

Bonham is having a good deal of
experience just now with local op-'

they Will get thicker and thicker.
—Hillsboro Reflector.
Bonham is not having a very big
experience; has only three cases up
to date, but the fellows who were
tried each got the experience of be-
ing sentenced to pay fines and stop
over in the county jail, and it does
not matter how much “they come,”
and though they may get thicker
and thicker, they will soon be thin-
ned out, and the only place where
the violator's will be thick will be
in the county jail.— Bonham News.
No animal will thrive if fed n-

value of fodder. But too much bulk
is as injurique as too little. Quali-

vided for if animals are to retain
their health and gve the best re-

--- A Good Creed.
Alone time the Rev. Henry Ward
Beecher was editor of the Indiana
Farmer ami Gardener, a monthly
magazine published in Indianapo-
lis. His first work was to establish 1
a creed, which was as follows:
f We believe in small faras and
thorough cultivation.
We believe that the soil loves to
eat as well asits owner, and ought,
therefore to be manured.
Wa Belle Win large crops which 1
leave the land better thsn they
found it—-making both the farmer .
and the farm rich at once. —......

terprise and intelligence; without
this, lime aniUgypeum, bones and
green manure, marl and guano wil
be of little ue.
We believe in good feneee, good
barns, good farmhouse, good stock,
good orchards, and children enough -
to gather the fruit.
We believe in a clean kitchen, a
neat wife in it, a clean dairy, and a
dean conscience.

community,” says the Southern
Cultivator of Atlanta, Ga. Th
Cultivator adds: :
These people will inaugurate the
plan of village’farming and incorpo-
rate into their settlement all the ad-
vantages thus offered in industrial
and agricultural, as well as social
and educational progress. We need
not wait for parties on the outside
to begin village farming atthe south.
We have not heretofore found it
frofitable, in many instances, to
change our farm ceps; because of
cost of transportation, arising from
a limited namber of products.
Grapes, or peaches, or berries, can
be made profitable if grown in suffi-
1 cient quantities to reduce .the cost
of transportation, and yet they are
absolutely barred as a crop when
shipped in small quan’ities. Not
oni yso, the single grower finds
■*%?»Ubl^ In-Becunbg good and pfi.Ht-
able markets when left to his indi-
vidual efforts. In all theab’Ynqtters,
as, in deed, in most profits of the
farm, co-operation is the basis of
success. Farming is no longer an
individual, but a community inter-
est, and we must bring the business
to euch envrpnments as we find in
communities or colonies.
It would be a capital idea for en
terprising people from the older
states to bring their neighbors with
them when they come o Texas.
Thia doesnot mean that kind frienda
and generous friends will not be
found ia this state. There are good
people hre to weleome all who
come. It means that neighborhood
