A exas Ranch,

COLEMAN CITY, Tex, July 14th, 1889.
Mr.. EBlroK:--Your kind letter was
received a few days since. As it is
Sunday and there is little rest I will
try to answer a few of your questions,
by giving you description Of where
I am and what I am doing. I have
been working on this ranch for two
years, and Ike it better than anything
I ever did. Probably description
of the ranch and the way we work
would be interesting. It was FIVE OF
six years ago sheep ranch, at one
time having over 10000 acres under
ore fence, and pasturing over 10000
sheep, all under the management Of
one man. Later on he changed from
sheep to horses, at one time buying a
stock of over 1000 head. It has been
his aim to reduce the quantity and
improve the quality. For this pur-
pose he bought two large Norman
horses, and selected the best mares,
and with the cross we have some as
good young stock as You would find
in Kentucky or Tennessee. The
stock has been reduced to about 1000
head. They run loose in the pasture.
In September we brand the colts,
using stamp iron almost red hot.
First we rope the colt by both fore
feet as he runs and throw him. AS
he falls one jumps on his head and
| another ties him. The brand is then
put on until the skin turns red. Il
branded properly, it falls of, and
shows the letter plainly.
1t is wrong to suppose that all Tex
as horses are Spanish: ours are good
American blood, many of the mares
measuring Is hands high.
| There is farm of ESQ acres con-
nected with the ranch, from which
| enough food is produced to feed all
the colts during the winter. I think
the corn will make so bushels per
acre, and about 80 bushels oats to the
acre. The small grain crop is very
short everywhere, yet we can buy oats
at 16 cents, and with the cash corn
can be bought in the shuck at 25
cents a bushel
have car load of large. well de-
| veloped horses, shapely and fat, that
I would like to send out to Clarendon
just to show you what kind of horses
| we raise. We have also quite lot oi
three year old FLIES that would sur
prise the peo Die, for size, beauty, and
cheapness. Parties desiring mares
for colt raising would do well to
write me. I can always furnish what
they want, and guarantee them to be
as represented.
We are constantly shipping to all
parts of the Union, and I think | will
try Manning with a load in the fall.
| We are twenty-five miles south oi
Coleman city on the Colorado river
where land is cheap and fertile and
grass is good. I don't claim this as
the Ell Dorado, but it possesses many
advantages over S. G.
With kind wishes for the success Of
the T1MEs, I remain, F. G. THOMAS.

BLOOD POISON

Is very liable to follow contact Of the hands
or face with what is known as poison ivy,
especially in hot weather or if the body is
perspiring freely. The trouble may sub,
side for time, only to appear in aggravated
form when opportunity offers. The great
purifying powers Of Hoods Sarsaparill::
thoroughly eradicate every trace of poison
from the blood, rs the cures it has accom-
plished conclusively show. 1t also cures
scrofula, salt rheum, and all other affections:
arising from impure or poisoned blood.
