The West and Southwest have
been greatly afflicted this sea
son with storms. Only a couple
of weeks ago Wisconsin was via
ited by terribly destructive
clones, and now Texas is suffer¬
ing from floods, the result of
extraordinarily heavy rain
storms. It is impossible as yet
tofomi any accurate estimate
of the damage which the Hoods
have done, but it is known that
many lives have been lost, and
property destroyed amounting
to millions of dollars. It is
roughly estimated that the dam
age of property is fully $5,000.
000. For 1,000 mile: along the
valleys of the Big and Little
Brazos rivers and the Gauda
loupe and Lower Colorado riv¬
ers the farms are from five to
twenty feet under water, The
cotton, tobacco and corn are en¬
tirely destroyed in these valleys
and many thousands of cattle
have been drowned. The rail¬
roads also have suffered severe
ly. It is said that tiie Lack of
one of the roads for a distance
of 100 miles has been complete¬
ly washed away, and it is
known that 400 county bridges
and 250 railroad bridges have
been swept away
It is hard for farmers to have
the results cf their season’s
work completely destroyed.
Many of them have lost not
only their crops but their stock
and farm buildings as well. No
doubt the majority of them are
very poor people, and it will
take them years to get. back to
the degree of prosperity they en¬
joyed when overtaken by the
rains and floods. It is too late
for replanting this season and
tlio great majority of the suffer¬
ers will no doubt have gicat cl if
ficulty in finding means of liv¬
ing until the crop of next year
is gathered and sold,-Ex

EPIGRAMS,
It is a greaf mistake never to
make one: a great misfortune
never to be unhappy,
Death is not the greatest ill,
life not the greatest good, hap¬
piness not the noblest end.
The greatest ill is to die with¬
out having lived, the greatest
good to live only after having
died; the nobleBt end to fulfill
one’s part.
In the furnace gold is melted,
clay is hardened.
The largest planet has its sun,
the smallest, hair casts its shad
ow.
It is n question whether lifs
was meant to be hard, it is cer¬
tain that we make it so.
To be hardened the iron must
first be softened.
Health lives in the present,
disease worries over the future.
We should treat fortune as
the fanner his wheelbarrow—
push it from us when full, and
only drag it behind us when
empty.
The surest way to leave hap¬
piness behind is to run after it.
What do I learn from the
nail? The farther ’tis hammer
ed the firmer it holds.
What do I learn from the
candle? Even though turned
down it still sends its flame up¬
ward.
What do Hearn from the rose?
Though its root is in dirt and
mud, it yet sendeth forth grace
and perfume.
Shells we find on the beach,
for pearls we must dive.
The best remedy against an¬
noyance from small things is lo
battle with great.
In prosperity men ask too lit¬
tle of God, in adversity,- too
much.
I used to wonder at the strik¬
ing resemblance of some of the
false religious to the tine, un¬
til I learned that the difference
between the goose and the
swan is only a few inches of
neck—Ivan Panin.

A pound of these seed will t
yield enough to plant a crop.
The seed were tested in a list
of thirty varieties l)y the Georgia
Experiment Station and a bul
letin recently issued by Director
Redding 1 shows that the African
Limbless Cotton produced 70
pounds more per acre than any
other variety, and 161 pounds
more per acre than the average
of thirty leading varieties.
The African Limbless Cotton
produced 780 pounds of lint per
acre, which is nearly four times
the average on the farms of the
South. T his shows what high
fertilization and thorough cult
ure will do with these excellent
Seed. The value of the product, V
counting .. cotton at . 5 , cents and
seed at 13 cents a bushel, was
over $45 per acre, The cost of
fertilizers used was S4-.77 per acre.
The Journal does not guarantee
results, but the result of the test
at the Experiment Station makes
it worth a farmer’s while to test
these seed when he can get them
for nothing. •
