a GOOD Year for Tern..

The Galveston (TeI.) News says it is not
magnitying matters in the least to say the
agricultural and pAstural products of Texas
for the present year will reach in value not
less than $l25, 100000. The acreage under
cultivation this season is greater than ever
before. Splendid crops Of wheat and oals
have already been harvested, and although
recent rains have partly injured these yields,
the returns are still greater than ever before
in the history of the state. So full ia the
corn yield that II is not believed II will COM
msnd more than from 20 to 20 cents bush.
81. There are At least 900, 900 head of fat
cattle ready for export now grazing on the
Texas prairies, while in the matter Of sheen
and wool, Texas now leads California. There
Is perhaps, 20 per cent more acreage in cotton
this season than during the great crop year
OF lssl'2, when over 500, 600 bales were
made In Texas, and at the present time the
cotton crop prospect is ALMOST perfect This
means anywhere between 500, 600 and 2.
OOO, 600, representing perhaps $50, 200, 900.

The hams of small hog being esteemed
more delicate eating than those cut from a
heavier animal, Chicago provision dealers
trim twenty. pound ham down to sixteen
pounds, sell them at higher price, and have
four pounds Of trimmings left.
A well.knOwn Waterbury, Conn, farmer
tells how the sheep in his pastures kill their
enemy, the rattlesnake. They quietly form
in line aud march round and round the reptile,
breathing upon it till it dies. The farmer
claims to have seen the operation number
OF times and always with fatal res llts to the
snake.
In an article on windmills the Scientific
American says; IAN 81 foot wheel will raise
5000 gallons of water daily distance OF "a
feet. It's first coat, including the pump and
a plain tower, is about $50. A 1O-foot wheel
will raise about 8, 900 gallons of water day a
like distance and cost about $3.50, including
the appurtenanoes above mentioned. ~
foot wheel will raise lG, 900 gallons of water a
day the above distance, and cost, with the
same appurtenances, $2l0. SO up, from IA
to 1G, Is 10 20 feet diameter OF wheel, until
we reach 25-foot Wheel which costs about
81, 200 and will raise 100, 900 gallons OF wa
ter daily the specified distance"
Now is good time TO sort the young cat
tie and separate all those that do not promise
to make profitable animals for feeding, from
the balance of the herd, so that they can be
fed little grain and made ready for market
as soon as possible. There are always one OF
two animals in every bunch chat will not
feed and fatten with the others, and are moi
we'll enough shaped to pay to feed for pro-
tracted term. These should always be sold
out of the herd as soon as they can be put in
condition. 1t does not pay to feed out q
steer that is not well shaped, growthy, and
which will not take on flesh ready.

sheep shrarlnr In Mon,ana.

private letter from Montana ranchman
to Greenfield relative gives some facts with
reference to sheep shearing that seem marvel
GUS to eastern people. On his ranch were
employed ten shearsrs and they clipped the
wool on from zoo to 7hO sheep daily. One
man sheared 145 in eleven hours catching his
own sheep and doing up his Heeces. His us
.uai average is sheep in Ave minutes, doing
his own catching and tieing Another man
has clipped 1874 in twelve hours, and still an.
other 2Ob between sun and sun. The price
for sheaTing Ia cents per head, 30 the expert
gets good pay for his days work. On the
ranch in question the clip this year will be
60, 600 pounds and the best offer yet made for
1t Is lse. II has to be transported over 100
miles before 1t reaches the railroad, the near
est point being Billings, DAk.-G reeafeld,
Mass, Gdzette.

A writer in one Of our agricultural contem.
poraries says that for the purpose of making
stlh soil friable, sifted coal ashes, where they
can be readily had, are better than sand
They are more easily disseminated through
the mass, and contain small proportion of
mineral salts likewise, though their merit is
principally mechanical. l had patch of clay
over trap rock that, after rain, took on the
consistence of putty. could do nothing
with 1t. Vegetable manure it scorned, and
the spade cut in it as though it was skim milk
cheese. The place was made the receptacle
of the winters ashes. Two years after, it
was dug mp through mistaken order in the
fall. Next spring MANFRED it, and had it
dug over. Then planted it, of all things in
the world, with melons, They were a strik-
ing success. More than that the friability of
of the soil remained permanent.
