Horseback Surveying.

Whatever else may be sad OF
the Fort Worth and Rio Grande
they evidently have surveyor Of
whom they may well be proud
Below is given from the Gazette a
sample of his work.
In the history of civil engineer
( ing the instances are very few
where horseback surveys have
been adopted in the location of
line Of railroad, bat such was
( the case in selecting the route Of
the Fort Worth and Rio Grande
from Granbury TO Stephenville.
Great difficulty had been expe-
rienced by the engineers in get
ting away from the Brazos river
bottom, and the different surveys
from that point cost the railroad
company not less than twenty-five
thousand dollars, and then no line
was secured. Line after line had
been run, but none of them were
Iopted, and it was when several
etasble engineers had been tried
thetNr. Nj. o. Hall, the well
known engineer now connected
with that road, was put in charge
OF this work. In company with
Capt Paddock, then president of
the road, MrH,Hall started out on
what is called alorseback survey.
In one days timeke had compile
ted his survey to StephenrilIe, and
had found route on which the
road as it now runs was located
and built. In locating the line af-
forwards, it is said that every track
made by MIR. Halls horse between
Granbury and Stepenville was
covered, and there is no doubt that
this survey saved thousands and
thousands of dollars to the rail-
road company.
The road from Granbury to
Stephenyille passed through what
is known as Hyatt's Pass, the
highest elevation in which is 4S7
feet and before a shovel full of
dirt was thrown on this part of the
line Hall stated that he could not
establish a grade through the pass
without making cut. He did
this with only four feet of adverse
grade, and in all Texas there is
not better line of railroad, from
an engineering standpoint, than
that between Granbury and
Stephenyille, on the Fort Worth
and Rio Grande railroad, especial
ly that part of it through Hyatt's
pass It is noticeable, too, that
the contract for grading this part
of the road was taken on the basis
of Halls horseback survey, and be-
fore the locating engine ers had
finished up their work,

A fnrmer suggests that one of
the main reasons Why boys are
unwilling to stay on the farm is
because farmers are so proverbiaL
ly given to croaking. Instead Of
studying and developing the good
features they are always talking Of
hard times, drudgery, etc. This
kind OF talk is vicious even If
sometimes true. It is very often
INDUCED in when man wants to
cover his own lack Of thrift or his
misery management Be cheer
full is the best kind of motto for
everybody. Benjamin Whitsitt

you eau help and the other is
what Jpu cannot help. His mean

Here is what am exchange gays

Here is what an exchange says
about the farmer, "If the farmer
should 90 out on a strike for any
reason and refuse to till the vast
acres, what would be the result?
He would paralyze the commerce
of the whole world on sea and land,
every locomotive would rust in the
stalls, the cars would rot on the
side tracks, the song of the spindle
and factory would be hushed and
silent, the goods of the merchants
would be moth-eaten on the
shelves and even the government
would be powerless to interfere.
That man, though intelligent,
dresses in homespun, and patient
ly tolls on year after year, bearing
the ills he cannot shuH, and be-
cause he does not strike the world
moves on and the people have
enough to eat. Stop a moment
and consider how much more our
prosperity depends upon the man
with the mule than the dude with
the cane and waxed mustache."
Let the man who wants no one
to differ with him go to the grave
yard. The dead keep silence, and
have no interest or convictions
that clash with his own. The in
tolerant man can hold high sway
and have great satisfaction in the
cemetery. But among the living
who struggle and think and have
a right to speak, and an obligation
to act to their conclusion he must
make up his mind to meet many
men who do not look through his
eyeglasses; and if he aceommo-
dates himself to friction it will
polish his-own sides and remove
the rust, and warm his own men

An eminent writer says; "The
road is that physical sign of SYM
Dol by which You will best under
stand any age of people. If they
have no roads, they are savages,
for the road 10 the creation of man,
and the type of civilized society"
And truer words were never writ
ten. Man cannot advance when
isolated from his fellows. As the
railroad Is civilizer, SO is the
"dirt road" impossible roads
compel isolation, and isolation is
ignorance. impossible roadways
are the deadly foes of progress,
education, religion, agriculture and
society. Good roadwsys promote
every interest of man. The dis
content of the farm proceeds in a
large measure from isolation OF
all people who should clamor for
good roads. the farmer should
take the lead. -Hillsboro Mirror

Fowls and Eggs for Market.

In raising fowls for market flesh is the
first consideration. Select therefore a
breed which will make the greatest
growth in the shortest tinae and be of
good quality for the table. Select &C
cord ng to the requirement CT your own
special market and your fancy-Lang
shans, Brahmas, Plymouth Rocks, Wy
andottes, Javas Or Dorkings. These va
rieties, with their crosses, are hardy and,
if intelligently fed, attain q large size at
an early age. The Wyandotte just now
is apopular fowl, the silvers, goldens and
blacks all having enthusiastic admirers;
the white Wyandottes are also receiving
high praise from their advocates. It is
claimed that they are not only orna-
mental in the yards and toothsome of
flesh, but good layers as WELL The dark
Brahmas are classed by many breeders
as the best of the Brahma varieties.
With careful management there is
none of our small industries that is more
profitable than raising eggs for our city
markets. When eggs alone are desired
white faced black Spanish, Minorcas or
other laying breeds. Avoid the common
mistake of giving too much stimulating
food. Bear in mind the elements that
enter into the composition of an egg and
feed accordingly. Oats, wheat and bar
ley are all good for eggs, with just
enough corn to supply the proper degree
of heat. A sudden change from one kind
Of grain to another will often stop hens
from laying for short time, as will sud-
den change Of any feed. Whole corn,
being hard to digest, should be given
very sparingly to laying pullets. Sup
plement the food of laying hens with an
occasional relish of ground bone, chop
ped meat and charcoal.

many breeders claim that they are the
best of the Brahma variety. 1t is stated
that this breed was perfected by English
breeders out of brood Of chickens that
were bred by mating black red Shang
hal cock with d gray Shanghai hen. The
first importations known as Dark Brah-
mas were made about 1865, and many of
them were of the single comb kind. The
breeding Of pea comb Brahmas to Par
fridge Cochins produced new blood, and
later they were bred with less Of the
Cochin shape. The first Dark Brahmas
showed more or less bronze in the wing
coloring of the cocks, and the ground
coloring of the females was bronze
gray, the steel gray, which is now the
standard American color, being secured
by an occasional cross with Light Brah-
ma cocks.
The pea comb which should surmount
the head of the Dark Brahma cock re-
sembles three small combs running par
allel the length Of the head, the center
one the highest; beak strong, we'll
curved, wattles full, ear lobes red, well
rounded and falling below wattles; the
breast should be full and broad, wings
small and we'll tucked up under the
saddle feathers and thigh fluff. The
markings Of the hen, except the neck
and tail, are the same all over, each
feather having dingy white ground
closely penciled with dark steel gray.

Disinfecting Against Roup.

The damp warm weather is very IA
vorable to roup, and it is difficult to pre-
vent it at times, even under the best of
conditions. A box of air Stacked lime
should be kept convenient for use, and
the poultry house floors, as we'll as the
outside yards, should be well busted
with it as often as it may be convenient
to do so. The walls Of the house should
also be whitewashed occasionally, and
lump of lime should be kept in the drink
ing water. It is not claimed that this
method will always prevent roup, but it
will prove more valuable than if no such
precautions are taken, and is recommend
ed more for it's simplicity and cheapness
than for any other reason. The real best
remedy is warmth and cleanliness, and
as lime will add light to the interior of
the house, and also assist in absorbing
the moisture therein, it will be found of
valuable assistance in promoting clean
illness and the health of the fowls

Geese on the Farm.

When deciding the question whether
geese shall be admitted to the poultry
yard bear in mind the fact that in addi-
ton to their value as meat producers
each bird will make annually at least
pound of feathers. The most popular
breeds are the gray or Toulouse and the
white or Embden. The first named has
the advantage of size, which the second
makes up, however, in the fine quality
of it's flesh. Beal, high authority in such
matters, places all white plumaged geese
under the denomination of Emblem ex-
cept the Irish. He calls attention not
only to the juiciness and fine flavor of
their flesh, hut to the increased value of
their white feathers over the gray ones
Of the Toulouse Either breed requires
but little care when once started. They
thrive best on extended grass runs with
plenty of water.

Minorcas and Leghorns.

AS so many persons get these breeds
confounded, it is not out of place to state
that they are very nearly alike to those
who are not familiar with the two breeds,
and especially the blacks. The Minorca
has larger comb than the Leghorn, is a
pound heavier, is little longer in the
body, and must always have white ear
lobes, while the Leghorn can have more

upright carriage. The white Minorca is
similar, except color but must have
fesh-colored legs. The white Leghorn
may have white or cream-colored earlobes
and yellow legs. The white Lcghorn may
have white or yellow legs, which at once
distinguishes it from the White
MinC rca.

Dark Brak-na Fowls.

The Dark Brahmas are ranked by one
authority as next in merit, among the
Asiatic breeds, to the Light Brahmas, and
