turnip, instead OF from the set or "button."
1t has an uncommonly strong aroma, and
the white specim ms IRE very sweet TO the
taste. Why it is called the III Paso, is be-
cause 1t was discovered growing there among
the Mexicans and Indians by Lieutenant
Emery, who commanded the detachment of
soldiers sent with the United States com.
missioners to make the Mexican boundary
survey, and who were accompanied by
scientific corps of naturalists.
But pioneers TO the Pacific coast, to Monta-
ma, Colorado and Utah and Mexico found
them grown there by the natives. This
however is immateral. 1t is PROFESSIONALLY
not only the most superior onion we raise but
has the advantage over all Others in that il
grows direct from the seed, quite an item in
farm economy. Ten cents worth of seed

The Mines OF Wealth In Texas Grass
Land.
In the last number of the London Live
Stock Journal occurs the following: "Good
grass land is good property. Like the
lilies Of the field it may be said to toll not;
like Mrs. Stoves Topsey, it simply grows"
without extraneous help and throws up Il
perennial source of food for stock. 1t is
more productive, and, at the same time, less
costly than arabic land; it is
subject" to fewer casualties, and requires
a smaller amount Of direct supervision.
One acre of really good grass land will pro.
duce $50 pounds of beef or mutton during
the course of the summer, if grszed. III
under dairy-cows, it will yield 400 gallons of
milk, 1853 pounds of butter, or 400 pounds
Of cheese, rs the case may be. If mown, it
may be expected to yield in hay and after.
math an equivalent to two tons of prime
hay. The produce will be seen, on calcula.
ting out the result, to be worth from Gl0 to |
&l2 per acre, without the delay necessary to
obtain crops of similar value from arabic
land. Good indeed must tillage land be
which will year by year, give such a result.
The two cases may appear to have been put
very favorable for tho grass land, but we feel
confident that when we are dealing with re-
ally good grass, the profits are larger than
can be looked for in the case of any arabic
land; chiefly because the landlord and tenant
are enabled to divide such profits without the
intervention Of laborers, manure merchants,
and implement makers"
