SORGHUM-EARLY AMBER.

The fact tina, the variety of Sorghum in
troduced few years ago as the Minnesota
Early Amber, is now called by the shorter
name Of Early Amber or Amber, is an illus-
tra.ion of our frequent protest against COM
plex names. Life is too short and farmer,
TOO busy to say Minnesota Early Amber cane
when Amber cane will answer the purposes
which is to distinguish the variety. That 1t
produces a fine amber-colored syrup is just
now Of more general Importance than the
fact-spparently established beyond doubt
that i: contains a paying amount of cane
sugar. When those who have never before
cultivated sorghum, learn how TO raise it
and to properly handle it 30 as to produce a
superior article of syrup, a great point will
be gained, and the farmer will then be pre-
pared for the next 5 ep-the production CT
sugar But We think II would be great
mistake for one entirely inexperienced to
SOW a large breadth to sorghum with view
to the production of large amount Of sugar.
Go slow in this, as in all new things. Even
in small quantities for syrup. the means Of
working up the crop should be thought OF.
But few are able to purchase mill and
eysporator for merely making syrup for their
family use. Ifsome one at no great distance
is prepared to work up the cane for others,
then il may be safely planted. II there is no
mill in the neighbornood, then there should
be cooperation. One farmer csn procure an
outfit, il several other farmers will raise
enough cane to Keep him at work during the
season, Or several may unite to purchase in
common. This matter should be determined
upon we'll in advance, and the machinery
ordered early, go that it may be in working
order well in advance Of the harvest.-Amer-
ican Agricrlturist.

T. ]. ALLEN, Of Kansas City, Mo-, who
has contract with the government TO fur
nish stock cattle for twelve tribes Of Indians
in the Indian Territory, has been in the city
buying cattle for the last week, during which
time he has bought over two thousand head
from citizens here. Among them are VIM.
Hunter, J. NJ. Dawson, James d. Reed and
W. Scott. Mr.. Aliens contract is for
northern Texas cattle, and he hiss come to
the RICH, place and contracted with the
right parties TO insure his success. The
object OF the government in furnishing these
heifers TO the Indians is to learn them to raise
their own beef. These twelve tribes are now
being fed by the government, and are fur
nishei annually from seventeen thousand to
twenty thousand cattle. 1t will be great
saving to the government if this experiment.
proves a success. Mr.. Allen furnished the
Kiowas, ComaDches and Wichitss with like
cattle last year, and he says they have taken
good care of them, and that he believes, thi:
a good move on the part Of the government
and has a great tendency TO keep the indiana
on their reservations. He says they are
better herders than plowmen, unless they

Z. GOO head. One flock of S57 clipped on an

certainly profitable business, and if all our

A SUCCESSFUL SHEEP MAN.
From the San Antonio Express.l


About Eve years ago Mr.. c. C. Croeson,
of this city, after having failed in business,
resolved to 90 West and establish himself in
the sheep business. He had but a small sum
Of money to start with, and was well advan-
ced in years, but there are few men possess
ed of more will and energy than he, and
having large family to support he deter
mined to make the best Of future opportu-
mites. He locatated ranch in the Musquiz
Canon, twelve miles from Fort Davis, and
stocked it with small flock of sheep. After
awhile, finding that business required hip
constant attention, he removed his family TO
Fort Davis. As time sped on he met with
several reverses, but none that tended in the
least to weaken his efforts or impair his
energy. 1t was reported that nearly half
his flock was lost IN this way; still he did
not despair, but battling against all reverses,
soon recovered from the effects of Indian
raids. His stock to-day numbers 5000 fine
sheep, and is being graded up as rapidly ss
the laws OF nature will admit. The increase
Of the flock this spring by lambs was about
ninety seven per cent. Mr.. Crosson has
supported his family nicely since he en-
bsrked in the sheep business, and has, in the
past four years. cleared $4,000.

PRICES OF WOOL.

We find the following in regard to the
prospects In the wool market, which may be
Of interest to the growers of this state:
Prices have advanced SO high in Europe,
that importstions from that quarter are moi
now to be feared.
The mills have disposed Of their surplus
goods to an extent that has scarcely ever
been reached before, and as the volume Of
machinery in motion is greater than ever,
the present Indifference of buyers cannot be
long pro,racted.
The condition Of the country is promising.
Money is abundant and the.merchantile class
generally solvent. The prospect for an
enormous consumption Of wool is favorable
and demand for it ia inevitable jus. as
soon as the present confidence il restored.
II has always been the case that the free
arrival of new wool on the msrket has been
accompanied with the appearance of numer-
GUS buyers. That such will be the case this
year We have not the slightest doubt,
although the revival may be delayed few
weeks.
We think an early adjournment of con-
gress will greatly assist in restoring conf
dence, as the uneasiness caused by threaten.
ing tariff reductions will be removed.
Manufacturers admit that they will be free
buyers when the bottom is touched, but they
also admit having no confidence in their
own opinion and are at loss to know what
to do.-Justice, Bateman & Co.
