MR.. McA1EER the Democratie Co

Mr.. McALEER, the Democratic Con-
gressman-elect from Philadelphia, asserts it as
his opinion that the Democrats could carry
Pennsylvania in 1892 with Pattison on the
ticket for President. In the light of the re-
turns from Mr.. McAleer's district the public
may take this as promise that the McAleers
supporters would not trade off the head of the
ticket II he were running for President. But
possibly there might be disposition to ask
for security that the promise would be made

In unison now. One thought sweeps over and

Through sea and over mountains, across

Millions upon millions catch it between

and meets Us in the morning. No more weary

Don't Favor Goafs

A correspondent CT tile New York
Tribune, taking a cue from what we
lately said in these columns relative to
goats and 'goat roosts'' in Florida.
says the goat is an unmitigated humbug
in every particular. IF there were no
sheep the goat might come in for some
claims TO favor, but not reasonably so as
the case now stands. sheep will live
IN any region where goat will live, and
will yield fleece and better meat than
goat flesh. A mountainous country is
better adapted to sheep than any other.
The high and dry soil, the sweeter herb
age, the purer air-all are in favor OF
the sheep. Land so poor that it will not
support sheep should be planted with
trees, If only hoop-poles can be grown ON
it But let the goat be turned out into
the wilderness-it is all it is good for as
farm animal. In some countries where
the goat Is popular as a milk giving ami
NAL the goat may be all well enough.
but that country lies not on the Ameri-
can continent. However much you
might favor the use of goats milk in this
country, you would be compelled 10 keep
its use a secret. When your children
went out on the street there would be set
up Il cry of goats much after the cry
of ''rats' that greets the ears of the
sedate Chiuaman when he strolls out for
an airing.
Some years ago, says the writer, the
risky Angora goat was extensively
doomed in this country as a profitable
farm animal. 1t was averred 10 be
valuable for its silky fleece, which is
used TO some extent in the manufacture
of lustroLs friuges and mohair goods.
But it depends upon fashion and a small
demand for its market value. 1t i. SO
much inferior to the sheep that it is not
probable it will ever be useful TO the
farmer unless he be an inhabitant of a
desert isle with at least three miles of
deep water around it, and too small for
any other person to live upon the same
island. If there Is is any person living
who dom detest the goat it is the goat's
own owner. And the owner of that
goat, if he permits the said goat to run
ut large, will soon be detested By every
ueighbor within five miles of him.
We take it forgranted that this Tribune
has a neighbor who owns
goats which are permitted to run
out on the common range. We have
been there ourself, and hence have no
heart TO say ought against the position |
he has taken.

Last week We stated that we were
without information relative to the pro-
cess of roasting cotton seed for stock
food. The editor of Texas Farm and
Ranch came forward with the informa-
ton we were deficient in. He does not
know OF any regular cotton seed rooster
on the market. but says one may be
easily made that will answer every pur-
pose. MAKE two wooden heads, eight
cen inches IN diameter and two inches
thick. Bore two inch hole in the
center of each head; pass through them
wooden shaft, and secure the heads at
distance apart equal to the length of
cylindar desired, and width of netting
usei Cover with plain wire cloth one
eighth inch mesh, except space six or
eight inches wide for putting i'll and TAX
ing out seed. This can be covered with
81 section made 10 lit and fastened at one
side with hinges and with any convenient
fastening at the other. A very little in
Eenuity will enable any one to MAKE this
cylinder complete. At one end OF the
central axis attach a crank; suspend in
simple bearings over q pit or furnance
made TO contain the fire, and little
shorter than the cylinder US protection
TO the wooden parts. OF course the
cylinder must be made to revolve slowly
over the fire while the seed is being
roasted

Last week We had the pleasure OF
meeting in Fort Worth Mr.. John o.
Ford, a well-known banker at Pecos
City, Reeves county. Tex, who kindly
favored US with some interesting infor-
nation relative TO the irrigation opera
tons now being conducted in his region
Two years ago an irrigating canal was
cut from the Pecos at point some miles
above the city, where the river lies we'll
up 10 the general level of the valley. No
dam was necessary. The canal ranges
down the valley from its point of junction
with the river, aud reaching out from it
on either side are numerous "luterals
10 convey the water over the lands.
The work of extending the system
moves steadily onward. The exact acre
age of irrigated lands cultivated this
season was not ascertained, but Mr.. Ford
told US il was confidently expected that
the next season would open with fully

This fruit bearing shrub can be de-
pended upon for success in all parts of
Texas, We suppose. The possibility ex-
lists that the extreme northern portions
of the Panhandle might be little too
cold for it, though we are by no means
sure of this.
For our own part we have never
''nashed' much on the pomegranate as
fruit, yet it is very nice thing to have
on ones place for helping to make up
one's variety, if for no other purpose.
Mr.. d. Redm ond the noted and veuera-
bic Southern horticultural, says of it,
that the sweet pomegranate, when IN
perfection, possesses Il fresh crispness,
dellcacy and sprightliness of flavor almost
unrivaled among fruits, and Is considered
great luxury by ell who obtain it. In
Rhnd q Vegetable Kingdom we are told
that the ripe fruit of the pomegranate is
in great abundance in August at Aleppo,
ana that il is then ''laid up for the winter
stock - In Syria the sweet pomegrnn-
ate Is cut open, the seeds taken out,
stewed with sugar, sprinklei with rose
water, and served on little plates.
An infusion of the crushed seeds
in cool sweetened water is often
used in the sick room, and very deli
cate wine was extracted from these
fruits 10y the ancient Jews, as may be
inferred from the words, "Gratn rim
mon, signifying the press of pome-
granates. The pulp developed seeds are
often used in the manufacture of jellies,
preserves and syrups; the rInd of the
fruit is used in medicine as a tonic and
all astringent, and the bark of the tree
produces the dye which imparts its pc
culiar color 10 the morocco feathers of
commerce. The pOmegranate thus COM
bines to an i'm portant degree its value rs
an edible fruit ana its usefulness in the
arts, medical sciences, etc.
More than thirty years ago Downing
wrote tina the pomegranste deserved to
be much more popular than it was in
every lower Southern state, and If raised
in large quantities It would doubtless
soon become Il paying fruit for shipment
to Northern cities. 1t is largely shipped
from all the European counties produce
ing it to the countries of that continent
dramatically deGarred from its produce
ton.
Only few varieties of the pomegrau-
ate are known to or cultivated by our
fruit-growers. says Mr.. Redmond, but
it is beginning to attract the attention of
some progressive pomologists i'll different
parts of the South. Within the past two
years several new and valuable varieties |
have heen Introduced, and he thinks the |
fruit is destined TO grow rapidly in popu-
larity. And taking into consideration |
the attractlvvness ana Leuuty OF the |
shrub, the ease with which II may be |
its habit OF early and pro-
fuse bearing, and the economic yalue |
and varied uses of both tree and fruit, it
certainly merits far greater attention
than it has thus far received.

While cannot indorse the growing of barley
| to make beer, may state that 1 would much
like TO it grown extensively in Texas as
food for horses and hogs. About the year 1860
a majority of the farmers around Chatfeld, Ma
varro county, went into the growing of barley,
and continued it to the close OF the war. Their
barley fields usually yielded all along from rizty
to 10 bushels TO the a, re. Manv small farmers
raised from 500 TO 100 bushels of barley each
season, threshed out-some of the larger farmers
threshed out 20OJ or S0UU bushels. The grain was
fci TO horses, mules and hogs the farms,
Through these times we all lived at home and
boarded ct the same place. Now, unless con-
tinued culture of these black and sandy lands to
cotton and corn since has exhausted them 1
can SEQ no reason why the same yields to ba- ley
might not be depende upon. hit is a fact that
the same yields may be made land there is no
good reason for doubling it,, the appearance to
me Is that large money lies in store for Texas
farmers. 20 reach them through bar .ey culture
Even yield of only fifty bushels to the acre.
commanding, say fifty cents per buShel, would
make it a paving crop. most decidedly Our
alliance store in Ennis lately sent off for seed
out 10 the farmers at the moderate pr ce of 81 50
9ushel. The farmers wanted it mainly for win
ter pasture.
when, oh! when. will some of our epterprisipq
farmers take the matter in hand and inaugurste
a radical departure from this prevailing craze
for all cotton and corn. to the extent OF growing
AZ least enough small grain Tor home supply, or
for winter pasture? c. T. HOGAN.
Ennis, Tex.
We have no disposition TO oppose the
sentiments of our correspondent with
reference TO the making Of beer, yet we
endeavor to take philosophical view of
the case. Texas will make beer and
Texans will drink it. If Texas produces
no barley the Texas brewers will send to
Canada or to California for their sup
plies, and will nuke just as much beer
rs they would make were the supplies
grown within sight of their plants. The
money paid for those supplies obtained
from distance would go entirely out of
our region of country whereas, were the
supplies raised by US that immense
amount of money would stay in Texas.
Refusing TO grow barley for the manu-
facture of beer would be about on q par
with throwing into the river money that
we might just as easily retain IN our
pockets. The money is sure to go, if we
don t arrange TO scoop it in It will leave
us forever, to the enrichment of distant
sections and the impoverishment TO that
extent of our own state. The beer is al
ready bargained for, so to speak, hence
ii is simply left to US 10 say whether CT
not We shall live up 10 the old rule of
making for ourselves aud for Texas the
most we can make out of bad bargain.

Some weeks ago we INDUCED in q short
talk on the sOcalled Mexican pepper
(Capsicum frutesceu9, that grows wild
in the mountainous and billy regions of
Mexico and Southwestern Texas. Upon
our own experience in transferring il
from those regions to regions much
further mort in states east of the MIssis.
sippl river we reItured the opinion that
1t might be made to succeed in all North
ern Texas, though We could not speak
positively for lack of Information with
reference TO the matter. Mr.. J. T.
Clements of the Texas and Pacific rail-
road has kindly settled the question by
favorins us with beautiful specimen OF
the plant in full iruit, grown by at Fort
Worth. We were not afforded the pleas
ure Of meeting Mr.. Clements aud inter-
viewing him with reference to the winter
hardness of the of the plant here. as the
specimen was left at THE GAZETTE Office
in our absence, but from the woody ap-
pearance of the stalk left we conclude
that il was not of this years growth,
and that, therefore, the plant is hardy
in the latitude of Fort Worth, at least.

The Use of Manures.

How can we get farmers on our black waxy
loans into the use of manures9 This is ques-
ton OF much importance just now. My remedv
forthe neglect lies in n writing-up of experience
at the hands of black waxy loan farmers who
have applied manures with profit.
can open the ball by telling you what saw
farmer doing in Hite county, near Fios' post
office, some two years ago. He had been a
Massachusetts farmer had farmed all his life
ana was more than sixty years of age; had some
twenty head OF cattle running in a hundred acre
pasture, but every night those cattle all
penned and most of them tied with ropes under
the old man and his bows were out stirring
around, plllng up the dToppings from those
cattle into a manure heap; and this with the
manure from his stables, was finally all hauled
out and spread upon his fine hlack-wa1y loan
farm. In lsss he made forty bushels of corn TO
the acre. while his neighbors who gave no
attention to manures, made only twenty to
Twenty-Five on their best lands. He had 500
bushels OF corn C ibbed for sale, expecting to
sell at % cents bushel at he time when 1 took
MS case into consideration. Twenty bushels OF
corn at 10 cents hushei makes SIS, so you see
what he had made above his neighbors on his
acreage to corn. 1 have no idea that the manure
cost him So to the acre. He told me that hi /,
results were always just about the same.
Occasionally l meet with farmer like this on
our blacs-waxy lands, but as a prevailing rui&s
the black-wazy farmer leaves all manure aboutF
his lot to go to waste.
Most Texas farmers working sandy lands adj
NIT that manuring helps, yet comparatively few
of them make good use of what they have
1 have lately canvassed a region OF sandy
loan farmers, the region being some four miles
wide and six miles long and I veuly believe I
have seen enough good manure going to vast at
many places to have covered n ten-acre field six
inches deep. Had 1 asked them to give me the
manure every man among them would have
said, yes, take it and welcome. if You will
haul it out of my way G. T. HOGAN.
Ennis, Tex.
AS stated by us on former occasions
that manure question is one of more i'm
rtgv- L.,
persons suppose. Our best lands are
probably rich enough in all needed min
eral elements of plant food, but this is
not enough. Humus, a most important
vegetable element, is in demand as much
as are the mineral elements, and nothing
can surpass lot or stable manure for sup
plying it.

extremely SO when IN ripe fruitage,
giving the hills, upon which it grows
abundantly, bright scarlet appearance,
when viewed from distance. Then its
beauty need not be its lesding attraction
in every case, for the lover of red pepper
as condiment will find no species Of the
eapsicum family superior to the Mexican
pepper; we regard il as the strongest
species known, not excepting the little
Cayenne pepper of South America.
As formerly stated the Mexican pepper
Is sometimes enormously COMPOUNDED with
the well-knowu :biTd-eye pepper. II
is something entirely different. The
berry of the bird-eye pepper is perfectly
round and about the SIZE of buckshot,
while that of the Mexican pepper is oval
in shape and not quite so large.
