Texas aeatcr. |

ED. NEWS Tho topic of most interest at present seems to be the weather, everyone asking, Do you manage to keep warm at your house7 ?" and "Did you ever see such weather?" the general opinion being that there never was such 8 winter known in Texas; yet we have had but one slight fall of snow, and two sleet storms, that covered the trees with ice for two or three days. One mortimer has scarcely blown itself out before another has succeeded it, WoHse than the one hefora. One of our German neighbors says i've don't want no more dem ish norders; d ot lasht kills me forty sheeps." Bad as it has been, I do not suppose that we hardly know what cold weather is, if reports in the papers are true, and we think there are worse places to live in than Texas. In the four years we have been here we have never had to pay anything for fuel; could always get all we wanted by going into the woods and cutting it or picking it up.
 Stock is looking very well, considering tue bad winter. I think sheep have suffered most, next horses. and cattle the least; some of them would make good beef now. Re member that no stock are fed anything, ex- cept milch COWS and work horses. You will frequently see something in the papers about the Texan long horn beef. and its poor quail ties; l never tasted sweeter or tenderer beef than the West Texas possibly am preju- diced, for most fthe beef eaten by me in Connecticut was that furnished by boarding houses. Anyone would suppose too, that half or more of the cattle died every winter While there is quite heavy less sometimes no business pays greater profits than stock raising, and no business can be carried on with less expense, after man has ouoe got started. There are many with sixty or sev enty head of COWS, that do no work, only ridt and look after them occasionally, and drive them home for salt range herd them as they call it. or see that they do not go more thar five or six miles from home. They keep tn, COWS until they die of old age, and sell tn,
 two and three. year-old steers. A man il thought to be running behind very fast if h, sells any of his ''she stock, 4 COW that ha
