and cakes. All who want anything in
my line can have it left at their doors by

HORSES AND MULES.


We are indebted TO N. A. r., a prominent
writer in this state, and deeply interested in
all that concerns its welfare and develop
ment, for the following;
"That Texas is well adapted TO the raising
of horses and mules, rs well rs cattle and
sheel, amply proved by the fact that,
upon he first settlement Of the country by
Americans, and for thirty years thereafter,
there were more or less wild horses, or
mustangs in all sections, and in the UNI
settled portions they were numbered by
hundreds of thousands. The wild
horse of Texas sprang from escaped
gentle stock, first introduced by the Span
iards in their conquest of Mexico, of which
Texas was then an integral part They were
the true Andalusan horse, with more or
less Arabic blood, and as beautiful speci-
mems of that noble animal as could be found
in the world. Our present stock of horses
IN Texas are grades upon the mustang
(mostly half-breeds) but with the exception
of a little gain in size and improvement in
temper and natural tractability, has no great
advantage over the original stock. These
half-brceds average about fourteen hands in
height, but are very strong, active and
enduring. A good one will carry a man
upon his back day after day from forty

tiles as saddle animals are unsurpassed, and
for the purpose that they are mostly used
driving cattle) they are better adapted than
thoroughbreds. A Texas pony will carry
his rider, in n wild chase after cattle, day
after day, with nothing but prairie prass to
subsist on. These ponies are worth fifteen
to fifty dollars, according to size and quail
ity, The average price for broken ami
mai would probably be thirty dollas. The
cost of raising them is but little more than
the cost of raising "beef steer" perhaps
no more. They live upon the
range" and only require little
looking after and an occasional
sailing to keep them gentle. Oflate years
however, much attention has been paid to
the improvement of horses and mules, and
and at any of the county fairs tirst-ryltr
specimens of the Texas bred racer or, tho
trotter cnn be seen. The Texas mule Is
generally very small, but tough and wiry,
and capable of immense Endurance. Like
his halEhrother, the "cow pony" heis nd
mirably adapted to the country and fts,le-
munds, The price of good broken Spanish
mules, as they are called, will range from
forty to seventy dollars 1t costs no more
to raise them than it does the Cow pony

State and county taxes are not heavy in this
state. The state levies an ad valOrem tax
of forty cents on the one hundred dollars
worth OF property, and the county can only
levy one-half of this amount. In addition
to this, persons pursuing an avocation
other than agricultural or mechanical, are
required to pay an occupation tax, graded
according to capital invested, except
in the professions and there il is fixed
and low rate. IN Incorporated cities and
towns municipal taxes are in the maximum,
according to charter provisions. We take
