STOCK FARMS INsIENAs.-StOck-r raj sing
for the Northern market Is rapidly assum-
ing the features of regular bushes, -
The farms used for this purpose are a.
numerous as they are wonderfully LARGE
One of them, in Southwestern Texas. con
sists of l70, geo acres and affords pasturaae
for $4,000 head of cattle. which require , =
500 men on saddle horses TO attend 10
them. Another lot consists OF 200, 100
acres. with 10000 head of cattle. Some
OF these great stock-raising farms are
owned and managed by private parties.
but others are operated by joint stock
companies. Some of these farms fatten
and sell 10000 head of cattle year For
many years Illinois has been the leading
stock-raising State in the Union, hut Texas
now promises to surpass it in this respect
with its broad pastures robed in verdure
the entire year. The problem of roast
beef and beef steak in the Northern cities
is. as writer observes. intimately con-
nected with the growth of railroad facili
ties in Texas; hence the more railroads
there. the cheaper will be the price of beef.
In fact, at the present rate of railroad
progress in Texas. it will not be long
before that State will be able to supply US
with corn beef, bright and fresh from its
vast prairies. No less than eight lines Of
railroads are now in course of construction
in Northern Texas, several of which pene-
trate and pass through the stock-raising
sections.

MAKING THE STRAw-STACK.-It i rare
TO see really good straw stack. II the
object Is 10 rot down the straw for manure.
the stacks as frequently made cannot be
improved. But where the object is to
save the straw for fodder and litter, much
more pains than is generally the case
should be taken 10 making the stack. We
cannot go into details, but the main points
are 10 keep the middle tull and well trod-
den down, so that the sides shall settle
more than the center. Keep the chaff and
short straw well scattered about in the
middle of the stack, and especially avoid
letting 1t lie in mass, where deposited by
the strawcarrier. Aim to have good straw
to top off with. In a few days after the
stack is completed, place long ladder on
the roof, and take the straw down smooth
so that the water will run of rapidly.
