Texas Has EVERYTHING,

For q time reaching back into the
misty past people have been trying to
find some use for the sunfower, but
without much success. They blowed IT
up as the yielder, in its seeds, of fine
poultry feed. After a good deal OF
training mixed in with more or less
starvation poultry could be led into eat
ing the seeds, but it was soon found that
to produce by culture a bushel of sun
flower seeds would cost about as much as
to produce ten bushels of corn. Failing
at this point they tried to get the plant
on the list as marvellous preventive to
malaria. They held up to public view
that few sunfiower plants growing
about the house would cause malaria to
fight shy of those particular premises,
and that thing took rather well for q
time. If there were sunfiowers on the
place, and the people living there didn t
happen to get the "chills,'' they
promptly gave the sunfiowers credit for
having kept the "ohills' away. If they
got the 'chills' despite the war made
upon them by the sunfiowers they con-
cluded the ''chills'' were contracted at
some time while out of the protecting in
dnence of the plants, and so kept their
faith. Finally it became pretty generally
known that the regular sunfiower was a
wild weed in Texas and grew in greatest
profusion in those regions where malaria
did most abound, consequently, on this
account, the malaria preventing theory
had to go by the board.
But now it comes to pass that the sun
flower has suddenly popped to the sur
face as one of the most useful plants we
have. 1t Is to fill long-felt want, and
Texas is to get credit for having made
the discovery.
After few years worry over what we
should do to be saved from the jute bag
gIng trust, in the course of which time
all manner of plants were put through
the mills in search of fibre that would
work as substitute for jute, some one
has bethought him of testing the wild
suntiower. making yellow every gully in
the pratries of Texas. Mird6le dictu! Eu-
Tekd. The sunhower yields fibre in
great abundance that will fill the place
of jute to a 7. And now the star of the
sunfiower is up. Arrangements for
working it are being rapidly made. We
understand thar factory in Fort Worth
Will be making suntiower fibre in a
short time, and shipping it to bagging
weaFers in other sections, and it is more
than probable that large quantities of it
Will be worked here. The jute problem
seems to have been solved at last.
Moral: If you people of any other
state need anything that you can't find
at home come over and LOOK for it In
Texas.

Cabbage Culture in Texas.

The editor of the Southern Horticul-
cural Journal has lately interviewed Mr..
F. A. Mabee, a successful cabbage
grower of Paris, Tex. Mr.. Mabee says
late cabbage can be as successfully
grown in Northern Texas as In any other
state, provided proper management is
extended to the crop. He has ten acres
to late cabbage this year. Late fat
Dutch Is the variety invariably planted
by him. The seed is sown in hills where
the plants are TO grow, sometime in
June, as transplanting at that season
would staud a good chance of proving
failure. The rows are marked off three
and half feet apart and then checked
two feet apart. Only few seeds need be
dropped in each check. Four dollars
and twenty-five cents worth of seeds
will plant ten acres. Reasonably low
bottom land should be used-he would
not recommend this plan for up lands
without irrigation. He stated that Mr..
Grow, five miles east of Paris, cleared
last year over $500 per acre on cabbage.
There Is probably one important thing
connected with the planting that Mr.
Mabee neglected to mention-he ubt-
less, after sowing and lightly covering
the seed, firms the soil over 1t. Without
this the chances for getting good stand
at a time when there is no rain would
certainly not be good, even on bottom
land. Stepping heavily upon, the hill
after covering would be amply sufficient.
Another thing Mr.. Mabee said, is that
he sells his products on the ground or in
person in the foreign markets. He will
sell to a commission man on the ground
for cash, but never consigns. This it
seems is a far more reasonable way than
to send products to market to the man
that makes the greatest show in printers
ink, and sends you regularly high and
tempting quotations.

horticulture, there is no denying the fact
that in some things California has little
the bulge on us just at present. We ii
soon be entirely abreast and apsst, how
ever. and therefore we are not now ask
ing California any odds; still while we
are pulling UP it may afford us kind of
recreation to study, in moment of
leisure, how California is managing 1t.
A contributor to the latest issue of the
American Agrioulturist, New York,
says the California oulturists are near all
running specIalties. He is himself
resident of California, and he lately
took it upon himself to make note of
the occupation for a livelihood pursued
by all his nearest neighbors. A raised
onions and winter potatoes, giving at
tention to no other crop; b had straw
berry farm; c had an orchard of cherries
and peaches; D grew only sugar beets for
nelghboring factory; E made his living
out of early peas; F staid by alfalfa and
cattle, ana G pinned his faith to corn and
hogs; II had a market garden, while L,
j and X were trying the whole gamut OF
the high class orchard, from apricots to
grapes.
1t is q common thing to find agricul-
tural writer's advocating diversified farm
ing. ''Raise a little of everything, -
they say. Well, that may be safe
way, hence we have nothing to offer
against it. Still, it need not be denied
that the man with a speciality stands
better CHARGE of carrying that specially
to high degree of perfection than be
would have of carrying to perfection half
dozen different things upon which ne
cessity called for division of his
thoughts.

,tantly going on around them in oonse-

stantly going on around them in conse-
quence.
Such is the case on the farm, espe-
clally; very few farmers are given to con-
sidering how much these little things
amount to in the course of year. Al
though quite Insignificant. when con-
sidered individually, these trifies count
up amazingly, directly and indirectly /,
in twelve-month
A little mouse hole in the grain bin is
not particularly alarming, and the
farmer thinks that, in his hurry, 1t Is
hardly worth noticing, but before the
year has closed several dollars may have
crept out there. A little leak in the
roof is so common, and of itself such
trifiing affair, that it very seldom gets
proper attention in the way Of repairs,
yet the constant dropping of water upon
the plastering below may cost several
dollars worth of work to be expended in
repairs, when few minutes Of time on
the roof would have prevented it.
Whatever it is, and however trifiing it
may appear, it will surely save much
after loss and vexation TO attend to any
little matters, about the farm, similar to
the ones above mentioned. If not at
tended to they will absorb the profits, or
perhaps prevent any from accruing.

On Making BoQuets.

correspondent OF Popular Gardening
says nature should be ones teacher in
associating the colors Of flowers in g
boquet, but she has her secrets. Take
the wild flowers for instance, the mo-
ment we transfer them from their wild
wood home to our drawing room, the
charm is broken. Nature gives US the
following hints: Don't crowd your flow
ers. Flowers have their affinities and
indlvidualities, and we must respect
them. For example, spike of brilliant
scarlet gladiolus, with a feathery bunch
of asparagus and dot of white fever
Jews here and there, will light shady
corner like torch. But smother your
stately blossoms with verbenss, phlox,
geraniums and a host of floral beauties,
and you will only weaken the effect. Put
your scarlets, crimsons and puppies in
separate clumps. Use white to blend
them, and you cannot fail to pro-
duce q good effect. Yellow is the
sunshine of a boauet. but you must
use it sparingly or it will produce
glare. But wise choice of this color
always lends cheerfulness. In making
saucer boquets you can use flowers very
choice or with stems so short you would
lose them in other boquets. Rose geran-
ium leaves alternating with tulips make
a beautiful edge about any shallow dish;
then lay in balsams, pausies, tea rose
or any dainty blossom you have, being
careful to have plenty of sweet alyssum
or some sne white flower to blend, and
you will be charmed with the result. A
low glass dish filled with damp MOSS,
edged with geranlum leaves and filled IN
with sweet alyssum for a ground work,
then pansies set starlike against the
whiteness, makes the lovliest center
table ornament I ever saw. BY sprink-
ling every morning It will keep its fresh
ness much slonger than ordinary Do-
quets. A large shell filled with sand
and smilax, kenilworth ivy or any fine
creeper falling over the edge, few
purple verbenas, some golden caliopsis
and dash of white, will throw CLEAN
of brightness from q bracket shelf
Select roses Of delicate white or creamy
neutral tint, for the flowers should be
the point of color.

The Pecan on High Land

Do you think the pecan tree would do we'll
enough on our high prairie lands TO Justify one
IN putting out grove: Several neighbors are
waiting for your opinion. FARMER
Navarro county, Texas.
1t would depend a good deal upon cir
cumstances. If your land has an under
lie of rock ut a short distance beneath
the surface, as much of the high prarie
lands have, we would not recommend the
planting of pecan trees upon it. But if
there is no regular bed of rock nearer the
surface than fifteen or twenty feet, then
doubtless pecan trees would do very we'll
for you.
The pecan tree must have clear sailing
for putting down long tap root TO make
il tirst-class success. Bottom lands al
ways suit the pecan best, still we d plant
on upland if we had no bottom land con-
venient, and there was not bed of rocks
too near the surface Loose or detached
rocks might do no harm, but a regular
stratum of rock near the surface would
certainly be against the pecan.

is best to keep them shaded for some lit

case of all fine seeds it is entirely best to
firm or pack the soil over them immedi-
ately after sowing.
