Our NeWWest.

Some years ago the country between
the Mississippi River and the Rocky
Mountains was regarded as desert; at
best fit for nothing but grazing purpos-
es. These plains cover an enormous
extent of country, and there is now
reason to believe that in the course of
the next twenty five years the greater
part of it will become arabic land, which
will grow magnificent crops. There
are three agencies at work effecting this
change. One of these is irrigation.
The streams which issue from the
melted SHOWS of the Rocky Mountains
are being carefully utilized to irrigate
large sections of land east of the foot
hills. As is well known, the Mormons
have converted the Salt Lake Valley
into perfect garden. Before they set
up irrigating bitches Utah was in ap-
pearance the most unpromising portion
of the earth's surface for the growth of
agricultural products, but water applied
to these sage brush deserts, changes
them as if by magic, and makes them
wonderfully fruitful. Still another
means of utilizing these grazing plains
is found is the sinking of artisan wells.
The water which reaches the surface
by these means is gradually absorbed
by the thirsty soil, and the desert
blossoms like the rose. Many of these
wells have already been opened. and in
time there will be thousands of them,
each the center of an almost recreated
district of country. But the most po-
tent influence at work is the steady ex-
tension of population west of the rain
fall. AS the country becomes settled
and trees are planted, the rains become
more frequent and heavier. It is be-
lieved in time even Denver will be SUBJ
ject to showers sufficiently to convert
the arid regions of its neighborhood
into fruitful fields. Horace Greeley
predicted that the time would come
when these dry plains would become
dotted with wind-mills, which will pump
up the water out of the vast depths of
the artesian wells. 1t is claimed that
the building of railroads has a great
deal to do in attracting the rain from
eastern skies and watercourses. Demo
rests Monthly for November.
San Marcos free press. [volume] (San Marcos, Tex.) 1877-1892, 1882-11-02

To take the place Of the old tallow can
dies, handsome pictures and plenty Of
books and newspapers may now be
found in the majority OF farm houses
in the country.
There are still a few people who
cling 10 the old ways, however, even
though they are able to do better, and
sometimes so.called home may be
found where the men hang their sad
dies on the front gallery while the
chickens roost on the back portico; the
cows are MIXED in the front yard; q
place is fixed in front TO climb over
the fence at the spot where n gate
ought to be; the boys and girls all go
to bed mt dark the yea round because
they have no light tit to read by and
nothing to read but an almanac, in case
they should attempt such thing.
The father of the family smokes a
strong pipe, and the tobacco Juice
makes yellow streak down each side
of his mouth; hence he never receives
any loving kisses from his wife and
children, because he is too nasty. At
night he hangs his socks on the man
tlepiece, while NANCY dog sleeps on
the hearth. The good wife, with all
the love crushed out of her heart years
ago, almost burns her brains out in
cooking over an old fire place six feet
wide with lot of old ovens with one
leg off and the lids cracked from north
east to southwest, so as to let in fair
sprinkling of ashes and Goals. She
gets water out of the same pool the
horses drink from, and prepares meals
of dodger bread and fat dried meat
that has to be tished out of pond Of
grease, and her children grow up to be
as rough, uncouth and ignorant as 60
rillas. This may seem an extravaganza
picture, yet it is too sadly true in some
instances.
We have nothing to say against pow
erty, because that condition cannot al
ways be avoided, but the poorest peo-
pie can display some taste and refine
ment in their homes if they will, while
good wholesome food of sufficient yari-
ETY. to promote health is cheaper than
plain bread and bacon, especially where
persons have industry enough to raise
vegetables. And no home can afford
to be without some kind of reading
matter in these days OF cheap books
and papers.
These old, time-worn customs are
giving place to better order of things
very::rapidly,. and the day is near when
Texas will be dotted all over thickly
with homes of intelligence, refinement,
culture and happiness.
Don't wait till you get rich to try to
make your home happy, but do it now,
and you will not crave riches SO badly.
There is no excuse for slovenliness,
filth and ignorance even among the
poorest in the land.
