One pleasant peculiarity of
English town's and public places
is their exquisite neatness. The
streets are well paved and clean,
and the roads are well kept; the
railway stations are in perfect
order, the fields are trim and
neat; the garden hedges, fences,
lawns, all exhibit care and over
sight. The- smoke and fog
blaken and stain -all the build
ings, but English care more
than compensates for the una
voidable cvu. We are not so J
particular here. We have a
clear atmosphere with brilliant
skies, but we are all, so far as
public places are concerned,
sons and daughters Of Shabby
ville. This is the more strange
because in our households no
such reproach is true. There
are no neater or' better kept
homes anywhere than Ameri
can homes, nor are-any people
cleanlier or neater in their hab
its. It is wholly in public mat
ters that this .shabbiness that
we complain of exists. The
blame rests principally upon of
ficial persons who neglect their
duties, but our people are
strangely indifferent to anything
of a. public nature.
Every fanner should have a
complete map of his farm with
each field, pasture and wood
.lot, together with all the fences,
roads and ditches plainly drawn,
and numbered or named, so they
cah.be readily designated. Few
fanners can appreciate the real
value of one until they have tried
the experiment, for with a map
of the .farm before you, you can
direct your workman to any
partvof it "without the possibility
of their making, a mistake.
You can. plan ,your improve
ments and estimate their cost at
your leisure, instead of spending
half -a .day of valuable time in
surveying the land itself. It
should be about two feet square'
or larger il desired, and drawn
on thick" cardboard to prevent
its being torn or -defaced. Let
our farmers try.the experiment,
mey win .soon learn .itsyaiue.
AH necessary surveys; may be
made when other farm work is
not' pressing,. and the map may
be,drawn and the lots-numbered
in the winter-evenings.; . ..-

The- "perfect dairy cow" is a
prolific thing just now, and as
usual, authorities differ as to
what qualities such a cow should
possess. A writer in the Com
ity Gentleman combats the idea
of combining "milk and beef"
in a dairy animal. He says the
beef quality is of no use during
the milking life of an animal.and
when she gets so old as to be of
little value lor milk, she is of no
va'-ue for beef. " Beef," he says
"at the end of the milking peri-
00 .s tnc oniy aavantage in tins
case, for when the animal is rais
ed for beef alone, the dairy ele
ment loses its force, no.t being
required." He advises the uni
on of the qualities of the Ayr
shire and Jersey.

A Pcccliir Cu.se-
A white woman with two
children was put offthe down
train on Friday night, having
no mouey to pay fare. The
woman was en route from
Taylorsville to Galveston, where
her father lives. The proprie
tor of the Central House got up
a' subscsiption and she was sent
on her way rejoicing on Satur
dao. Brenham Banner.
That case was a peculiar one.
The woman got .on the train at
Austin without any ticket and
without any money. When
the conductor asked for the fare
she told him she had no money,
and he informed' her that he
could only cany her to the next
station. The writer happened
to be sitting nearher, and she
informed him that the conduc
tor was acting badly, and insis
ted that she had a right to ride
for nothing. It was suggested
that she try her hand at a contri
bution from the passengers, a
suggestion upon which she ac
ted quite briskly. Indeed shd
sailed around amongst them
and demanded their money as
if she had a right to it. Enough
was raised to take her to Bren
ham, the conductor himself con
tributing. It was nearly day
when she landed there, and it
was known that the charitable
people there would help her on
her way.- We do not remem
ber that she said "thankee" to
any one who gave her assistance.
She looked rather as if she felt
that she had a right to all she
got. Houston Age.
