Truth.

The world is not to be reformed and
saved through its emotions but through
its nationality. The Savior is truth and
truth belongs to the cool rational fac
ualties. Love or emotion, without truth
is the heat that only hastens putridity.
There is very little demand for truth,
either in politics or religion, at the pres
ent day, unless the truth conforms to the
selfish desire of the heart. One party
can see no wrong in itself. Phe wrong
is all on the other side. Every man,
for his own sake, wants to reform his
neighbors. and always by law. Each
church glorifies and worships itself
deafening the ear of the Almighty with
the songs of it's f-aduiations. If a
man wants to make dollar, we advise
him to be cool and rational. If he
wants to save his soul we advise him to
go crazy. If we expect to succeed in
business, we are advised to keep COOL
We must obey the laws of trade, exer-
else judgment and Good discretion in
investments. Ifa great public measure
is presented to us for action, an appeal
is at once made to every selfish passion
and prejudices to be found in men.

The Future in Taxas


In few years men who have no title
TO ranchlng land-or at least to suffi-
Gent water front to control range
VIII be driven out of the business or
forced to buy lands at greatly increased
valnes. Land that can now be bought
for SO an acre will, in fewyears. cost
50, and all other grades of grazing land
in proportion. This may very reasona-
bly, be construed as advice to ranchmen
to fortify themselves with titles to their
ranches and water privileges. The cat
tie are not to high, nor even high
enough yet. Whatever will pay large
interest on certain amount of money
is good investment. What interest
will cow pay on SS5? In five years it
is entirely safe to say that she will be-
come the mother of four animals. which
at the expiration of that time. will
range from one to four years. If her
otfsprings are all males the two oldest
will be worth from $50 to $40 piece.
and the other two at least an average Of
SIS which will foot up an increase of
$50 to $50 on a capital of S35 in five
years. If, on the other hand, the in
crease is she cattle, the value will be
still greater, for in that case we would
have at least two, and very likely three
cows at work increasing the tally list
OF the herd. Make very liberal de-
duction from the above figures for
chances OF loss and for expenses, and
still we have an enormous interest, 80 to
40 per cent per annum on the first in
vestment. Cows are in reality worth
more than steers, and will eventually
sell for more

A Goose Ranch.

A party in Colorado wrote to the
Texas Live Stock Journal for informa-
tion concerning goose ranch. Here
is a part of the answer:
In the first place, in establishing a
goose ranch. it is necessary to raise Suf-
1icient funds to operate with, and this
might be accomplished by organizing a
stock company, the officers of winch
should be a president herder and
Shearer. Then ranching lands must be
secured and it won't matter much to
the citizens at large how far these lands
are from civilization, TOR geese are not
as nice as canary birds for pets. The
next thing would be to stock the ranch
and this could be done at moderate
outlay of capital. Pure blooded Cots
void geese can be purchased for-well,
some several dollars per doZen-we
don't remember exactly how much and
our goose price list has been niSlaid.
Southdown geese will cost some more
and are not high at that price. Every
well regulated goose ranch should have
a department fenced off and devoted tn
raising game geese. These readily sell
for fancy prices and Governor Sterrett
of the Dallas Times is now wishing to
buy an unlimited supply to enter at the
next cooking tournament held in Dali
las. BY the way it might be well
enough to consult him when any of the
machinery of this department of your
rarch gets out of running order for he
is considered standard authority on
game poultry.
The profit to be derived from goose
ranch comes principally from the sale
of berries which under favorable cir
cumstances, and the barn floor, grow
much larger than ordinary hen fruit
and which when pulled before they get
too ripe are right palatable vegetables.
The flavor of the overripe gooseberry
market value, being far superior to
the sick Shanghai berry for such pur-
poses as presenting to dull lecturers
etc.

The Rev. +. Z. Baker, of Topeka,
Kan, United States commissioner of
fore stry for the Mississippi valley recent
ly read paper in which he said: "Mut b
sentimental talk has been indulged in
concerning our duty to the next genel-
alton. We should plant trees, it is said
under which our grandchildren may
repoSe. This is doubtless fine and en-
nobling sentiment, but the average
American cares little for the generation
preceding him, and nothing for the one
to come; he expects the next generation
to provide its own shade. The question
he wishes to determine is whether the
trees he plants will benefit him in this
generation. Curiously, people almost
always over estimate the age of trees.
Who has not heard a great elm or oak
spoken of as centuries old, when it re-
ally half grown within the lifetime of
living men? Trees are sure crop, and
after all, a quick crop. The homestead
er who igoes out on the raw prairie
knows that it is five years before his
farm can be producing crops with any
thing like regularity. His trees are
making a return as soon as his crops
are. The Mennonite settlers in Kansas,
of whose success we have spoken, in
seven years at the farthest, from the
time they turned the first sod, are liter
ally sitting in the shade of the trees
they planted; are raising their own fire
wood, and eating the fruit of their own
mulberry trees. What these settlers
from Russia, strangers to our climate
and soil, can do, Others can do. 1t
must be remembered, too, that the OBJ
jectors have had their day. Every ar

Large capitalists have gone into the
business of cattle raising in Texas, and
bought up great ranges of land, and
soon free pasturage will be a thing OF
the past. Having the money to fence
as well as buy the land, most of the
large ranges are being enclosed with
wire. More than SlOO,OOO,OOO would
be required to purchase the cattle
now roaming over the state. Half of
