SAMPLE of Hereford Beef.

The following is from the National Live
Stock Journal, published in Chicago, Ills, for
the month Of April, 1873. The opinion is EN-
titled to confidence and consideration in this,
coming as it does from one OF the very best OF
Judges. ana one whose expressed opinions
have always heretofore been inclined towards
the Short Horns for beef:
The publishers of this journal acknowledge the re-
ceipt OF two packages OF beet from l.. Miller, ESQ
the noted breeder of Heref0ris, of Beecher, Will
county. His Mr. Miller informs th.t this beef
was from Hereford steer, year old past The
quality was superior to anything can buy IN this
market any price. II ali Hereford beef Is equal in
quality TO that sent Us, don care how soon il
drivc- oil other kinds from the market

the Houston 4 Texas Central you pass
many woe-begone, battered and dilapi-
dated to ~ns. The houses look like the
rough and whitewashed buildings of .
northern Fair ground, only they have
chimneys at each end and open halls in
the middle. In these towns You find
few if any Northern people. But Hous-
ton, Dallas, Galveston and Denison
really surprised me. They are all large
towns, well built, and have the appear
ance of being lively, busting and pro-
gressive. In Texas they say Houston
has 5000 inhabitants; Dallas, $4,000
Sherman, IL 900; Denison, 1000; Aus
TIN, 5000. So Texas really has some
very large towns, and these towns
have all the appearance OF thrift and
enterprise. As / statedin my last let
ter the vast cattle regions are in West
ern and Northwestern Texas. The In
ternatlonal Railroad is being built to
the Southwest, tapping the cattle coun-
try.
There is now great rush for San
Antonio, the terminus of this road.
Some promise great things for San An
tonic. 1t is an old Mexican town, with
plaza and one story adobe buildings. 1t
has large population. And here is
situated the Alamo, where Travis, Bowie
and Crockett gave up their lives tor
their country. The Alamo was certain
ly another Thermopyiae. Since "San
Antoine" as they call it, has become a
railroad town many fine buildings have
been erected, and the "American Quar-
ter" is considered quite handsome por-
ton of the city. There are people who
claim that as soon as the l. n Ry cross
es the Rio Grande, San Antonio will be
killed "dead as hammer" Western
and Northwestern Texas is iawless
country, and it will probably be some
time before iaw-abiding citizens can
make their homes there.
| must not fail to mention sight
I saw in Southern Texas. 1t was rose
hedge, miles long, enclosing planta-
ton. 1t was thrifty and thick and en-
tirely Seattle proof" The hedge was
covered with millions Of red, pink, pur-
pie and white roses in full bloom. A
more beautiful sight was never present
cd. The air was 80 full of the fragrance
of the flowers, that it was almost suffo-
eating. Flowers of all kinds were in full
bloom, and base was he who did not pay
honor to the flower kingdom, by sup
porting button hole boquet. Every
human being supported a boquet, no
matter what was his or her age, color or
previous condition of servitude.
Texas is certainly great state, not
only in its size but in its possibilities,
resources and capabilities. 1t has vir-
gin soil, like that of Kansas, which is to
support nillionsyet to be. As to the In
dian territory it Is certainly the Paradise
of the world. And We believe forty mil
lions of people would sleep pretty well
nights, even if its present dirty, lousy
and thievipg inhabitants were sent still
further west.
We enjoyed our trip and hope at no
distant day to revisit the beautiful prai
ries of the Indian Territory and Texas.

ducting three and half cents for lghterage at the
