SUPREME COURT.
G. C. & S. F. Ry Co. vs. W. T. Hud
son from Johnson county. Opin
ion by Stayton C. J.
Appellee stopped with a drove of
cattle for the night about half a mile
from appellant s road on the highway
During the night a storm came up
the cattle stampeded ran notwith
standing all efforts on part of appel-
lee's servants to appellant's road. The
road was not fenced and a number of
the cattle were killed and wounded by
a passing train. The defendant tried
to prove that an ordinary wire fence
would not have stopped the stampeded
cattle. Held: J. ins evidence was
properly rejected. The clear meaning
of the statute is that the railway shall
be liable for the stock injured or killed
by the cars unless the company prove
that the road was fenced ; in which
event plaintiff shall not recover unless
the injury resulted from want of or
dinary care on the part of the road.
Other exceptions need not here be
considered. It would be incompetent
for the road to show whether or not
the injury would have occurred had
the road been fenced. All instruc
tions to the effect that if the road had
used ordinary care it would not be lia
ble were properly refused. The road
being unfenced the company was lia
ble as ordinary care does not then ex
ist. It was claimed that some of the
injured cattle died afterwards for want
of proper care given them by appellee ;
on this plea the burden of proof wonld
have been on defendant. The judg-
ment under the evidence was not ex
cessive.
Affirmed.
D. C. Newton et al. vs. Mary New-
ton from Guadalupe county. Opin
ion by uaines J.
Suit on promissory note by appel
lants to their father who died having
bequeathed it and his other properly
to Mary Newton his second wife the
stepmother of appellants. She sues
as legatee. In order to maintain their
plea of want of consideration appel
lants offered to prove by the wife of
one of them conversations between
deceased and her husband relative to
said note. The exclusion of this tes-
timony was error although contrary
to appellant's contention witness had
an interest in the suit as a judgment
against her husband would affect the
community property m which she
had a half interest (62 Tex. 170). Is
the capacity in which plaintiff sues
such as to preclude any party from
testifying to statesments by her hus
band during his lifetime? Art. 2248
establishes exceptions to the rule laid
down in Art. 2246 that parties may
testify in their own cases. This Art.
2248 is hold to embrace all the excep
tions. A divorce or legatee is not in
legal signification an heir nor is such
a party embraced in the term legal
representative and therefore the plain-
tiff is not within the exception and
the rejected testimony was admissi
ble. A promissory note imparts con-
sideration impeaching the considera-
tion by sworn plea leaves the burden
of proof on the party impeaching the
consideration. If there was originally
a consideration parol evidence was in-
admissible to show that payment
should only be demanded in case o
need because that would be varying
a written contract by parol.
lteversed and remanded.
J. W. Pohey et al vs. T. A. Bass.
from Nolan county. Opinion by
uaines J.
Appellant owned two and seven
acres respectively in two different sec-
tions. The home was on the two acre
tract orchard and stables on the seven
acres. All of it was enclosed. At the
time he moved to the place the north
boundary of Sweetwater was 460 feet
south of the place. The town limits
were movsd north twice the last time
when the town was incorporated the
limits extended sufficiently far north
to embrace most of the nine acres.
The premises were never laid off how-
ever into lots or blocks. At one time
Posey was engaged as a partner in a
mercantile and at another in the land
agency business and he owned in com-
mon with his respective partners the
place of business in Sweetwater proper
Was the tract under these circum-
stances the homestead of Posey or
did the surroundings deprive him of
his rural homestead? The mere lay-
ine out of contiguous lands in
and the division into blocks at
will not affect the question

COURT OF APPEALS.
W. L. Purcelly vs. The State from
Fannin county opinion by Willson
J.
Appeal from conviction under art.
741a P. C which reads. "Any person
having possession of personal proper-
ty of another by virtue of a contract
of hiring or borrowing or other bail-
ment who shall without the consent
of the owner fraudulently convert such
property to his own use with intent to
deprive the owner of the value of the
same shall be guilty of theft" etc. To
constitute the offense the following
essential elements have to be averred.
1. Possession by defendant of the
property by virtue of a contract of
bailment. 2. Defendant must without
the consent of the owner fraudulently
convert the property to his own use.
3. Such conversion must be with in-
tent to deprive the owner of the value
of same. An "intent to appropriate
the property" is not expressly made an
element of the offence- and the defec-
tive allegation of appropretion the in-
dictment reading appriate instead of
appropriate becomes immaterial the
indictment being otherwise sufficient.
The evidence does not raise the issue
of voluntary return of the stolen horse
and the court correctly refused to sub
mit a charge in consideration of theft
of pistol and saddle to the question of
dependent's interest regarding the
horse but no exception was reserved
and no instruction asked and the er
ror is not such a material one as to
set aside the conviction. (25 App.614)
Defendant is found guilty of
the offence alleged in the in
dictment. The statute makes that
offense theft whereas the judgment
recites that the defendant is guilty of
the fraudulent conversion of a horse.
The judgment will be reformed here
to conform with the statute and the
conviction is affirmed.
Burt Masters vs. The State from
Falls county. Opinion byf Will-
son J.
The evidence presents th issue of
self-defence. The court did not
charge upon it of his own motion nor
on request of defendent but did
charge by re juest of the State to the
effect that if defendant provoked the
difficulty he could not claim that he
acted in self defense. Held : This
charge only presented the phase of
the case most unfavorable to the de-
fendant. A full charge on the law
of self-defence should have been
given.
L. Buchanan vs. The State from
Fannin county. Opinion by Will-
son J.
This is a conviction for aggravated
assault and battery. The means
used by defendant in committing the
offense were his hands and knees.
Ordinarily the use of the hands fists
or other members of the body will not
constitute an aggravated assault and
battery. (12 App. 245.) Under the
circ*mstances of this case the use of
the fists and .knees were not calcu
lated to inflict great bodily harm ; it
is only a simple assault and battery.
Reversed and remanded.
Jerry Littlejohn vs. The State from
Fannin county. Opinion by White
P.J.
The evidence is wholly insufficient
to warrant conviction. (27 App. 190.)
Reversed and remanded.

TOO MANY ACRES.
The rainfall this spring while no
excessive in this county Has been so
distributed and timid as to hinder
field work. As a .consequence many
of the most industrious and hardwork-
ing farmers are Btill badly in the
grass.
Ninety per cent of them are in(this
position because in addition to rain
they h; e attempted too many acreB
relying on hired help that cannot be
had.
There should not be one idle man
or boy in the county. In some sec-
tions many acres will be abandoned
for lack of labor and much that is
saved has been in a crippled condition
and at a cost altogether out of "propor-
tion to any profit that can be reason-
ably looked for from the crop.
It is worse than swapping dollars
for any farmer especially any renter
to pay from $1 to $2 a day for help in
the cotton field when one-third to half
an acre is the most that can be cleaned
out.
The dirtier the crop the dearer to
clean and the least value when
cleaned. Every practical farmer who
has gone "through the mill" will ad-
mit this and also that it is worse than
foolish to plant more than he has re
liable labor to cultivate.
He has understood this for many
years but still keeps tip the old Suici-
dal plan hoping that he may have a
favorable season or be able to get neip
when reauired.
Isn't it time to make a resolution
that will stick never to do so more
Labor is so scarce when needed so
dear and so unreliable that it is fool
hardiness to attempt any crop that
must depend upon casual labor tie
acts wisely who regulates his acres to
his ability 'to do them full justice.
Five acres thoroughly cultivated will
give a bigger return especially of cot
ton than forty acres with the atten
tion given to the average crop. The
yield will be nearly as large and the
expense of production infinitismal
compared to the larger area.
This is an old doctrine and true as
gospel but like it wants a lot of
preaching to make converts. The
sooner farmers seek the mourners
bench the sooner will they be saved
CULTIVATION.
Seed and season are of the greatest
importance in the crop problem but
cultivation plays an equally potent
part. It is generally admitted that
land in a good state when seed is
planted is more than halt cultivated
No amount of after cultivation will
compensate for lack of thorough prep
aration. A loose surface soil isthe
one thing needful for grow-
ing crops. This prevents evaporation
and cracking of the soil. If this loose
covering can be preserved through the
dry hot days of July and August cot-
ton which loves heat and sunshine
will get along with very little rain
and the shedding of squares bo fatal
to the product of a full crop will be
greatly reduced.
This fine loose surface soil can only
be produced and maintained by shal-
low and frequent stirring. The intro-
duction of the two horse cultivators
while a boon to the man who knows
how to use them has been the ruin of
many a promising crop. They are so
coustructed that it is easy to put and
keep them deeply in the soil and the
operator generally feels that he is not
cultivating unless he is stirring and
turning over fresh dirt every time.
Little and often should be the motto
of the cotton cultivator and no imple-
ment should be used that will stir
more than about two inches of soil.
Deeper cultivation will injure the feed
ing rootlets of the plant and turn up
clods that are no protection as a mulch.
The best implements I have tried are
the sweep and a hne nve tootn one
horse cultivator. Where the rows are
close once to the row is enough and
the sou is left in the best possible shape
Keep the surface clean and loose and
we can defy anything but the severest
drouths. . Cultivate shallow and often.
SORGHUM.
Tn ten davs or two weeks the first
crop of sorghum will be ready to cut.
There is always a strong temptation
to delay this harvest till it is too late.
June is nerhaDS the busiest mouth in
the year for the general farmer. Oats
barley and wheat ripen in the first
two weeks sorghum is ready for the
mower and cotton Wants his attention
all the time to say nothing about
corn which ought to be run tnrougn
for the last time.
It is simDlv impossible to eive every
thing all the attention it ought to
have unless the acreage is witnin conj
trol of labor available.
Something has to suffer and
sorghum is generally the victi oa as it
is not considered to be taking narni

SMALL MARES.
I have always contended that there
was no more danger in breeding a
small mare to a heavy draft horse
than to one near her own build and
weight. The size of the colt at birth
is regulated mainly by the maternal
capacity of the mare. Cases do oc-
cur where the mare is incapable of
producing a live colt but that is gen
erally due to a defective or contracted
pelvic structure and not to abnormal
size of foetus.
This is disputed by many practical
horsem*n but the Western Agricult-
urist which is a good authority of
such subjects takes my view of the
question. It says:
"Breeding small mares to imported
draft stallions is still a matter of con-
troversy in some new sections where
the draft stallions are just being in-
troduced and we have received an un-
usual number of inquiries from Ken-
tucky and the South and Southwest.
The experience of thousands of breed-
ers throughout the Eastern and West-
ern States is that there is no more
danger to the mare in foaling from
these large stallions than from the
small ones. We often see an 800-
pound mare bred to a lt'OO-pound
stallion that raises a colt making a
1300-pound horse."
VARIETY IN FEED.
Variety is the spi e of life and va-
riety in feed is essential to the best
development of both the brute and
human animal. Writing on this sub-
ject Prof. Henry says : Variety in feed
is important to the highest success
with any kind of animals and bran
lengthens the available feeding stuffs
by just so much. Chemically bran is
very rich in just what horses need to
build and maintain the highest form
of bone and muscle since it is rich in
both muscle and bone producing ele-
ments. One hundred pounds of rats
contain about 9.5 pounds of digesti-
ble muscle-making food while 100
pounds of bran contains 12.5 pounds.
Again if we burn 100 pounda of
shelled com there would remain one
and a half pounds of ashes ; from 109
pounds of oats there would remain
three pounds of ashes while the same 
weight of wheat bran wonld give over -five
and a half pounds of ashes. It is-
the ashes of our -food that build the
bony framework.

thi Profitable hog.
The kind of hogs that require three
to four years to mature and in that
time attain an enormous size and
weight are going out of fashion. We-
do not see so many extra heavy-
weights reported in the local papers as
we used to. Instead the laudable am-
bition of most farmers is to get pigs
that at eight or ' nine months old will
give a pound of pork for every day of
the animal's life. To do this requires
good feeding not alternate starvinir
and surfeiting with corn. It is the
pork made by continuous growth at
all times that is most palatable and is
most in demand in the market.
 TEXAS BLUE GRASS. . '
Texas blue grass is a relative of the-
Kentucky blue grass and is indigen

nature. Being larger than Kentucky
blue grass it affords more grazing. It
is of rapid growth and the ' coldest

with the first rains of autumn and
grows luxuriantly being soon ready to
pasture and also affording choice graz-
ing for the winter months. Orange
