Bosque county and the country surround
ing it, is a farming country. 1t is what
you might call a mountainous country, but
not such high mountains as you have in
Montana. They are broken and covered
with grass, with large valleys and table
lands. The scenery is, indeed, picturesque,
and the climate is excellent. Clear. fresh
streams traverse the country, affording plen-
ty of fresh water for both man and beast.
Along these streams there is timber grow
ing, but with this exception it might be
called prairie country, the timber being
inadequate to supply the demand for fenc-
ing; and for this reason, there are vast tracts
of land that will remain unsettled for manv
years. The soil of the river valleys is sandy
loam and unexcelled for the production of
cotton, while OH the small streams and up-
land, the soilis black and rich, and produces
corn, cotton, wheat, rye, oats and barley.
bale OF cotton to the acre is often gath
cred, and from forty to fifty bushels of corn
is the usual yield. Wheat, of which we
make speciality on the black lands, yields
from twelve to forty bushels per acre. The
crops this year, which are now being har-
vested are very light, and will not average
over fifteen bushels to the acre. Stock-rais-
ing is very profitable, but is not being car
lied Oh so extensively as formerly-farm-
ing having taken precedence. Cattle are
the most -remunerative. They feed upon
the pastures the year round, and need but
little care. A great many sheep and horses
are also being raised.
Stock cattle are selling at So per head
sheep $l.5O, and horses at your own price.
They sometimes sell as low as $40 per head
have a fresh horse to ride whenever I
want one, and to me there is'no dearer pleas
ure than to ride over the green prairies on
horseback.
We raise all kinds of vegetables,.a nd tropi-
cal fruits. The peach crop this season, how
ever, will be light 49,.
Don't ask me more of Texas It is better
than your Montana. Come and see for your
self. Iknow you will like it, and shall en-
JOY your visit A. R.
