 Five tons of German millet is not a large yield for one year.
 Wet land sown in red top, forms an everlasting meadow of the finest hay in the world.
 One bale of cotton is the average yield, though one and one- half bales per acre is not an uncommon crop.
 One hundred peach trees to the acre and three to five bushels of choice fruit per tree can be counted upon af- ter the third year.
 This fruit finds ready sale at Kan sas City and St. Louis, at from sixty cents to one dollar and half per one third bushel box. Calculate the re- suit for yourself.
 One hundred and sixty varieties of apples, and nearly as many of peaches, plums, cherries, apricots, pears, dam sons, quinces, grapes and berries of all kinds, almonds, English walnuts, chestnuts, and filberts are some of the fruits which every farmer in the state can have if he wants them. [ There has never been destructive hurricane in the state.
 There has never been total failure of crops since the war, and but few partial ones. G~
 Plaques never visit our fair domain
 Our woods and prairies are full of game, our streams are filled with fish and the whole state filled with enter prise; so if you want to be happy come to Arkansas to settle.- Bee6e Argus.
 Notes.
 Arkansas, lying as it does, in the golden mean between the temperate and torrid zones, beneath sky as blue and climate as mild as Italy, it is the natural home of fruits, with soil and all the conditions favorable for the most extensive success. Peaches large, fine and luscious-are ripened from May to November. Apples of all varieties, which in size and quantity and deliciousness of fla vor are unsurpassed, are prolific. Pears, plums and other fruits do equally well. Any one passing along the hillsides and ridges will see, by the quantity of wild grapes, that this is grape country. As yet the country is young in this enterprise, but progress is being made and the results are attracting atten- tion. Wild berries more than suffice for home consumption. Strawberries, on account of the mild winters and early springs do we'll here and are a paying crop, and with little culti- vation and labor will ripen eight to ten weeks earlier than those in the north.
 We often wonder why people are contented to remain in country where the price of land is so high they have few, if any, hopes of ever being able to possess home of their own; where they are obliged to rent often paying each year as much per acre as would purchase the same amount of land here. Our climate is delightful and our soil productive, with health equal to any part of the country. We have railroads (with more building), telegraphs, postoffices, free schools and churches. We are midway between the north and south and grow all the products of the ex- trcmc south. Our home is in the happy medium, neither too hot nor too cold. We have millions of acres waiting to be cultivated, much of which is still government land that is | free to settlers.
 During the past few weeks we have had more inquiries in regard to estab- fishing manufactories for utilizing our many productions than for years be- fore. The range of inquiries is wide, including timbers, metallic minerals, clays, textile flores, etc. We fully ex- pect, from the character of the parties interested, to see within the next year number of factories in opera tion in and near our city that will break the quiet existing here so long, and make new life in Little Rock. l For full and complete information in regard to railroad lands in the state of Arkansas write Hon. Thomas Es- sex or Hon. Thomas M. Gibson, Little Rock, Ark, and it will be furnished free.
