The Cultivated Blackberry-S600 Per
Aero.

Under the membership of Mr.. Lantz, we, a
few evenings ago, rode out to the horticul-
tural and vegetable farm of Mr.. Bowen,
situated one mile northeast of Dallas, on the
Mckinney road. Everything on the prem
under the skilful management of the pro-
prietor being brought to a condition of
prime excelenc. He took possession Of the
place some eight years ago, and is now max
ing it yield him an income certainly very
handsome.
Nothing so attracted our attention as his
blackberry acres, upon the cultivation OF
which an article was published in
this column last week. The berries are
now ripe and ripening and look surprisingly
attractive. Following are some Of the notes
made on the spot:
He found the berry growing wild on the
place. and then not much anger than a cher
ry. Five years ago he thoroughly plowed,
measured and billed an acre, and then dug
up enough roots to plant it. The rows were
run ten feet and the NILS in them five feet
apart. This was early.in tine season before
the sap began to rise. In the spring the
patch is hoed as often rs is necessary to keep
down the grass.
The first year his crop was small, though
he was grattled at the berry being twice as
large as when they grew wild. The second year
they reached perfection in yield, in size and
in flavor, Now, this year, he will gather and
market 3000quart boxes Of bloc berries per
acre, which readily sell for 20 cents per
quart in Dallas, or the Who'll crop of two
acres will sell for $1,000. If COW rted into
wine, 5000 t least. In size they are as
largo MS the plum, but nearly round in
shape, coal black and of delicious flavor. He
prunes the hills every two or three years by
cutting out the old stems, which cease to bear
well after the fourth or fifth season, and
leaves four or five young ones growing.
The expenses of cutting and picking are
trihing. He buys the quart boxes in st.
Louis. The total expenses, ,uitivating pick
ing, packing and marketing, ought to be
moro than offset by the sale Of scions of this,
"The Bowen Blackberry" leaving 5000 per
annum per acre clear profit
Mr.. Bowen also has fine orchard of APP
piles, peaches, pears, and vineyard, in which
the California white grape, of which raisins
are made, is growing. His place and exam,
pie is living, undoubted and unquestioned
proof how any man of ordinary industry
and common sense, can take few acres of
ground near this city and get rich. He
has larger clear income from his two acres
of cultivated blackbeIries than some men
who work fifty acres in cotton and corn.

The Raspberry.

"God might have made better than the
strawberry, but He didn't do it," some body
has said. We think He did when He made
the raspberry. That is a matter of good
taste, and it is matter Of taste what good
taste is.
At any rate this delicious berry is easily
brought to high state of cultivation in the
Southern States. Hardy and very prolific,
they begin to bear the second year. A light
frame. work run parallel to and on the in
side of one side Of garden fence md the

The IIeu-HnOuSc.

We make such poor success Of raising
chickens in Texas we have to send to
Kansas and Missouri for them and
their eggs. We pay two bits piece for them
and % cents per dozen for eggs. Whilst the
bug and the worm are the proper food for the
chicken, tho mite and the igger are 1t
mortal enemy. 1t exceedingly questionable
if a house of any kind should ever be built
for this fowl. 1t will not sleep in one volun-
tarily, and instinctvely prefers the open air.
Like the birds of the air, it prefers being
rocked by the boughs of tho tree in its slum-
bor and never goes indoors in daylight.
But if safety or any other cause requires
the hen-house, build it "all open" top and
sides. Let the rain freely penetrate every
portion, The health of the chicken abso-
lutely requires that it be kept free from those
insects which prey with fatal effect upon its
body. The filthy, closely shut-up
hen-house is where these insects
breed by the million. They do not generate
on the limb provided rs their bed by natures
God, and the chicken lnstinctively knows it,
but in the continuance furnished by man for
its convenience" and comfort" The nest
should never be covered from the clouds,
and 50 soon MS brood comes of, it should be
thoroughly ceansed of all old straw and
washed out thoroughly This is for tine pur-
pose of getting rid of "mites," which in turn
breed gaps, 'cholera" and the other fatal
diseases of which so many young ones die
Suppose you try the experiment of allowing
the chicken to have its own way about laying
Matching and roasting, and not Interfere in
the least with it, and sec what the result will
be. You will find that lik all other things,
il knows more about its own business than
you can teach it. About the only thing YOU
can do for it, is to lay traps to kill it. You
do that and do it we'll.

The Best Route

To the North and East is by way of Mem
phis and Louisville, over the Louisville and
Great Southern railroad line. From TIE
principal points of Texas to Louisville it is
over one hundred and fifty miles shorter
and many hours quicker than any route via
st. Louis. 1t is also shorter and quicker to
Cincinnati and all points East. 1t is the
only route by which we can take in the great
Mammoth Cave, Of Kentucky, and its
through arrangement of Pullman Palace
Sleeping Cars is unsurpassed.
Mr.. j. f. Thompson, the passenger agent,
of Dallas, solicits the patronage of the travel
ing public, and takes pleasure il answerirg
all correspondence, and furnishes maps, time
schedules, etc.

one common ruin. Fifteen years have since
elapsed and yet Georgia has net recovered
from the fatal folly. Would cotton at %
cents per pound now cause its repetition : !
am afraid it would.
The moral of this is, go in debt for nothing
you can possibly do without. And since
economy does not consist in the Withholding
ofexpenditures actually necessary, it is only
rare and exceptional emergencies that re-
quire the former to borrow money at interest.
There is not single institution or calling in
the whole State of Texas which can stand n
constant drain of ten per cent. per annum
upon its value. Not even bank. None OF
them make it, Nor does any integral part
of anything we follow make it AS constant
thing.

Farming Is not speculation IL IL Is An
industry. The habitual specuator is almost
alone able t, borrow money at interest. He
can afford TO icse all he has, for his mind is
of that "rich to-day and poor tomorrow"
order. He Is in position where he can see
chance to borrow a thousand dollars and
pay at the rate of IL per cent. per annum for
Il, make the purchase, sell it and take up his
note in thirty days, and in the turn realize
profit But even this smart individual
would be wound up in the course of time
were he to regularly pay IL per cent. for
money. Interest works against you night
and day, Sunday and all the rainy and the
holidays. Give your three sons $4,000 a
piece. Let the youngest loan $1,000 to each
Of the other two, and compound on them at
the end of the year, and in ten years he
will own the whole $4,000, and in all
likelihood all his brothers has been mean
time working for besides.

From the earliest times both silver and gold
