they cannot make the LeConte cuttings
grow. 1t is all the result of mismanage-
ment Growing LeConte pear cuttings
is something differing fro the processes
employed in growing the cuttings of any
other tree we know of. In the case of
other cuttings grown in the open air,
and without under heat, we select q
partially shaded situation for our bed {,
but the LeConte must have an entirely
open place with full exposure TO the sun
"a gentle southwark slope with unob-
structed exposure is always best. If
cuttings of the LeConte pear are put
out properly on such situation they will
grow off like cuttings of willow.
OF course, much depends on properly
putting out woody cuttings of any kind.
We always open trench for our Le-
Contes, ranging it east and west.
Against the northside slope of our
trench, cut smooth with a spade, we
place our cuttings, filling in at the bot
tom with about three inches of soil.
This we pound around the lower ends of
the cuttings as firmly as we can. Three
inches more of soil is then placed liz the
trench and pounded as before, and so on
till the trench is full. Cuttings taken
directly from the trees a short time be-
fore the first swell of the buds, and
carefully put out on this plan, Will not
fail to the extent of 10 per cent.

In the opinion of the Western Rural
pose COW, but there may be what might
be termed a good farm COW. There is q
widespread idea that the farm COW diff
fers materially from the gentleman So
COW, and she may and often does. The
gentleman often wants a COW with
certain marks and of certain fashion
able breeding. If he can get these
things, and the COW gives any milk at
all she is satisfactory. But the farm COW
is simply q COW that pays well for her
keep. AS COW the principal purpose of
keeping her-if the purpose Is intelli-
GENTS for the production of milk and
butter. We might just as well try to get
a fine carriage and hay wagon in one as
to attempt 10 get the best beef produce
ing animal and the best milk producing
animal in one. We should proceed in
the selection and breeding of our cows
with one thought clearly fixed in our
mind, and that is that when a good,
profitable milch cow is old enough TO
turn off, the price that we shall get for
her carcass-of whatever breed she may
be-will never make US rich. The mar
ket is not grooming for old COW beef.
A good fairly representative cow of any
of the dairy breeds may be made to fig
ure as a good farm COW, Farmers some
times turn up their noses at the little
Jersey, and we have heard them irrev-
erently call her a goat. Well, good
herd of Jerseys has never failed to p y
yet if it was properly managed, and never
will. The wild advocates of other breeds
have sometimes denounced the "thin -
milk of the Holstein- Friesian, but
fairly representative herd of this breed
will always give good satisfaction and
the "thin'' milk will be found to be
plenty ''Ihick'' enough. The farm COW
is the COW that will pay at the pail and
at the churn; and that is all the question
there is to be settled in the selection of
cows for the general farmer. -.

The Hog in Texas.

Texas Farm and Ranch says the hog
with the small head is coming to stay in
the Lone Star state. There Is au I'M
precedented demand for fine stock and
determination on the part of farmers to
improve their herds. The rural air is
tremulous. with hog talk. There will be
more hogs slaughtered in Texas the COM
ing winter than ever before,f and in pro-
portion to population less bacon brought
here from the West. This means that
nice sum of cotton money will stay at
home, to add to the comforts of civillza-
ton. Next winter there Will be largely
more homemade bacon, and as the
principle involved spreads to other arti-
Giles of consumption, the country will be-
come still more prosperous than it
now is.
The question of what we shall feed our
hogs with is not engaging so much atten-
ton as where we shall get good hogs to
feed. We can raise corn to feed with, if
we desire to do so, but one correspondent
who has been testing roasted cotton seed
as a hog food says we need not desire to
do SO. The roasted seed has given him
the fullest satisfaotIon-he considers 1t
everything needed, and certainly the
cheapest hog food to be met with in any
section of our common country. Never
having had any experience with roasted
cotton seed, we refrain from taking

his own eyes, he can well understand
how It was all brought about. Texas
beats the world in the way of natural
facilities for breeding and feeding.
Mr.. Brown ventures the opinion that
while in point of numbers the cattle IN
terests of Texas have q prepondsrance,
vet there is q mine of wealth in her facil-
tiles for raising horses too, even of the
finest class. Away from Texas the namess
bronoho and Texas pony are, in ting,
minds of many, synonymous with pursl
and unalloyed eussedness and general
worthlessness, but he has seen enough to
convince him that the i'm preston is badly
founded. No one can dispute that the
native Texas horse possesses wonderful
pluck and endurance. Now 1t is folly to
say these two essentials can exist in
horse that is "generally worthless; a
horse of great pluck must have album
dance of nerve power; for great endurance
he must be composed of not only good
material, but that material must be
properly adjusted and distributed. The
material, the bone, muscle and sinews OF
the Texas horse is of the best, and, while
it is not abundant or the form elegant,
the little he does possess of material Is
placed where 1t is all available, and 1t
now remains for the scientific breeder TO
take this diminutive athlete and mingle
with it the blood of the most desirable
improved larger breeds and build up on
the broad Texas prairies of limestone soil
and rich natural grasses, class and
ultimately breed of American horses
of which the whole country will be
proud.
English breeders have been patiently
and persistently at work for centuries
improving their domestic animals, and
we may learn many valuable lessons
from them. Starting out with di-
minutIve horse, inferior to the native
Texan, they have created two breeds of
noble animals that have not peer in the
known world in their respective classes
the Cleveland Bay and the Shire. The
former, the result of over a century's
careful breeding, stands monument to
the skill of the Yorkshire breeding. This
grand horse is recognized the world over
as the royal horse of Europe, and the
only pure bred coach horse in the world,
and his blood has gone out to improve
the native stock of all horse loving civil
lied nations. The Shire is recognized as
the most perfect model of a draft horse,
combining requisite weight, bone, mus
Gle and slnew of the finest quality,
formed and moulded into the most per-
feet proportions for utility and beauty in
q manner found in no other draft horse.
Equal opportunities exist for Texans with
their native Texas horses,

The LsConts PsarAsn.Texas.

The Southern Horticultural Journal
states that at the late meeting of the
American horticultural society held IN
Austin, Mr.. Onderdonk, twenty-five
years pear grower in Southern Texas,
said that good cultivation was necessary
to the pear in his locality, an Mr..
StringfelIow of the same region said that
it was not possible to over feed the pear
in his sofia black sandy loan, with
water at the depth of five feet. The
last named grower has LeConte trees
that at seven years of age bear fifteen
bushels of fruit, of size and appear
ance that sells it by the steamer load in
New York at 81 barrel; and while this
variety cannot be profitably grown north
of Middle Georgia, he thinks that the
planting cannot be over done south of
that latitude. Mr.. Thompson of Geor-
gia gathers his LeContes as soon as they
have reached proper size, and ships at
once, as he finds that the fruit must get
to market firm and sound to admit of
distribution to, local dealers, and that
rlpening will follow as soon as it ought
to, considering the necessity for such
distribution.
We consider Mr.. Thompson q little
q
the LeCoate' pear has attained TO full
size some four weeks before beginning to
ripen. Last season we visited the extern
sive pear orchards of Hon. d. G. Dunk
lin, Greenville, Ala, at the time when
that, gentleman was gathering his fruit
for shipment. Mr.. Dunklin, who well
understands the LeConte pear, told US
that the fruit ought to be picked about
one week before the time for its turning,
or long enough before that time for it to
reach its destination before beginning to
ripen. If gathered earlier its flavor
SYould Rot- be near so good as if left
hnger a the. tree. But under no cir
ctNnstances should it be left to begin Its
ripening 'on the trees-not even if the
market should be Immediately at the or
chard. There is something peculiar
about the ripening of the LcCOnte pear,
he told US; if ripened on the tree the
ripening begins directly at the core and
slowly extends outward. By the time
the surface becomes ripe the core-portions
of the fruit will be rotten. But If the
fruit ripens off the tree the ripening pro-
cess begins ut the surface and extends
towards the core.
At the same Austin meeting Professor
T. L. Brunk of the Texas agricultural
college, discussed the proper stock for
working the LeConte pear. He took the
position that "when worked on the i'm
ported or French stock; the tree is short
lived, sprouts in troublesome manner
even st some distance from the trunk,
forms large and unsightly excresences
below the point of grating, and so
proves altogether Improbable. He fur
Their stated, from his experience, that
the LeConte, on its own roots, is less
subject to blight than when grated
either on French stocks or upon apple
seedlings, as it is sometimes worked. -
The LeConte pear growers Of Alabama,
Georgia and Florida do not think the
LeConts pear tree ought to be grated at

Our Native Horses.

Mr.. George E. Brown of Aurora, Ill. !,
q noted stockman who has been travelling
a good deal in Texas of late, writes to
Farm and Ranch that the extent and va
riety of our natural resources surprised
him not "a little, and particularly the
broad gauge upon which operations had
been begun, and were being carried out,
looking to the rapid development of vari-
Gus industries, and the readiness mani
tested by every one to encourage and
help along any new enterprise that would
add to the general prosperity of the state,
vet with all the wonderful things he saw,
nothing surprised him more than our
snperisr stock advantages. He says 1t
was great surprise to breeders in the
older states when Texans came up to
Chicago and walked away with the
coveted prizes at the late fat stock show,
but now, since he has seen Texas with

After this exclamation Texas Stockman
and Farmer says, in reading most of the
various poultry journals now published
one finds the whole space filed by editors
and correspondents generally devoted to
the discussion of the beauty of the fowl
creation and the breeding OF the different
varieties true to a certain color, shade or
feather. This is all we'll enough so far
as it goes. One should never, however,
neglect the qualities of size and meat and
egg-production exclusively for that of
fineness of plumagg, for after all
the only real worth poultry possess
and the only uses to which it can be
put lies in its capability of furnishing us
with meat and eggs. If we can get
bird beautiful to our eyes, and at the
same time possessing the other most
essential qualities, so much the better.
This we can do, if as much attention in
breeding be given to one as the other.
The breeder should Gull from the breed
ing pen those fowls that fall away be-
hind in egg production, or are small, or
weak, or defective in some way or other.
With him it should be survival of the
fittiest all the time. Don t let US make
weaklings of a breed just to satisfy
within or fancy of ourselves or others to
the detriment of other points Let us
combine beauty with utility. The latter.
is certainly as essential as the former,
and ought not to be neglected. Let US
strive to excel each other with surplus
of eggs and in other useful points which
our fowls may possess, as well as in
striving to excel in pleasing points of
beauty, which in its place is we'll
enough, but not by any means well
enough alone

There are scores of Indians on the reser-
walton worth from $4,000 TO S25O,OOO each,
and when the reservation is thrown open by
Congress, as it will be in very few years.
there will be in Pierce county dozen or
two of the richest indians in the United
States. Some Of the wealthy Indians are:
Mrs. Joseph Douette, full-blood Indian
widow $3.50. 900. Mrs. Douette owns 100
acres on Browns Point. She was full
blooded Indian girl. Her husband died
about two years ago. She has several chill
dren, and now lives at the reservation build
ings. leasing her land to some fishermen.
Her land is probably the most valuable on
the reservation. The Union Pacific railway
will run through ii. Chris Laughlet, q
widower, 40 acres. $4,000. Laughlet holds
i20 acres back Of Mrs. Doulette's, which is
worth at least 5000 an acre. lie has one son.
Joe Coates, 100 acres, $4,000; Mrs. Joe
Coates, 100 acres. $4,000. The Coates fami-
ly is worth SIPS, 900. Coates has 100 acres
in is own name. His first wife died and
he married an Indian widow VINO had
100 acres, worth at least $500 per acre.
Theirs IL tide-flat land. She has one child.
Jonas Stannup. father OF the well-known
Indian, Peter Stannup, 80 acres, $4,000.
Jonas stannup's land is on the banks ofthe
Puyallup river, Is among the very best tide
hat soil. and is worth not less than $3.50 per
acre. The old man has lived so long that he
has forgotten the number OF seasons he has
lived. but he does not forget the value OF
his land.
There are at least dozen more Indians
who have from 40 10 100 acres 0f the best
