large enough to give reasonable profits to
the owner, and may be reduced as
patronage increases.
8. In this, probably the most common
plan of the three, the plant is estab-
Iished by a capitalist or company of cap
italists, ana is operated on its own re-
sponsibilitv. Milk or cream is bought
direct from the farmers at the best fig
ures that can be paid, governed of
course by the market prices paid for the
product of the establishment. This is
the simplest plan of any, as no compli-
Gated bookkeeping is necessary-you
take your milk or cream to the creamery,
get your money for it, and the business
transactions for that particular day are
ended. There is only one trouble con-
nected with this plan-butter, like most
other things, fiuctustes on the market.
1t may be well up this week and consid-
erably down next. So long as it goes
up, enabling the creamery to advance
the prices paid for milk, everything is
all right, but when it falls below the
average, thus forcing a reduction in
prices paid, everything is all wrong; the
farmer in such case Is apt to grow sus-
picious and jump to the conclusion that
the creamery is endeavoring to swindle
him.
Such appears to be the opinion ex-
pressed by the bulletin before US, but for
our own part we have never seen much
in that way, and we have had fair OPP
portunities of studying the workings of
the creamery industry on most of its
plans. Such farmers as would furnish a
creamery with materials to work are
now pretty generally reading farmers,
and hence they keep the run of all mar
kets in which they are interested the
same as other peoples; besides many of
these capitalist oreameries make con-
tracts with their patrons by the year,
taking all their products at certain fig
ures, without regard to fluctuations.
This is probably the best way for all par
ties concerned. The contract gives the
farmer reasonable profits and the line
can be soon drawn that it will do the
same for the creamery in the end. At
times the creamery may not be making
much, but at other times the prices will
be sufficiently up to restore all losses.
The excellent bulletin before US gives
much additional information useful to
the person interesting himsel in the
establishment of Texas creameries. 1t
shows plans and specifications for build
ing creamery plants, with the approx
innate cost. According to its showing a
first class plant, all ready for work,
ought not to cost in Texas above S2250.
The bulletin was issued about one year
ago, but we suppose interested persons
might still get copies of it by addressing
Prof. F. A. Gulley, director experiment
station, College Station, Tex.

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
would not be near so good as if left
longer on the tree. But under no cir
oumstances 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 at 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 a troublesome manner
even at some distance from the trunk,
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
LeConte pear tree ought to be grated at
all. They favor propagation by cuttings
exclusively, holding that it never does
so well on any stock-not even on its
own,
One often hears persons complain that
they cannot make the LeConte cuttings
grow. 1t is all the result of mismenage-
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 10 the sun
"a gentle southwark slope with unob-
structed exposure is always best. If
cuttings of the LsConte 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 q trench for our Le-
Comics, 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 in the
trench and pounded as before, and so on
till the trench is full. Cuttings taken
directly from the trees short time be-
fore the first swell Of the buds, and
carefully put out on this plan, VIII not
fail to the extent of 10 per cent.

The Farm Cow.

In the opinion of the Western Rural
there Is no such animal as general pur-
pose COW, but there may be what might
be termed good farm COW. There is a
widespread idea that the farm COW diff
fers materially from the gentleman 3 >
COW, and she may and often does. The
t'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 COW that pays well for her
keep. As q COW the principal purpose OF
keeping hsr-if the purpose is intelI-
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 produc-
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 ia that when e good,
profitable mich COW is old enough TO

The Leconte Pear in Te.as.

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..
StrilgfeIIow of the same region said that
il was not possible to over feed the pear
in his sofia black sandy loan, with
water at the depth of i've 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 proftably 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
rIpeninz will follow as soon as il ought
to, considering the necessity for such
distribution.
We consider Mr.. Thompson q little
wrong in gathering his pears so early, as
the LeConte pear has attained TO full
sizs some four weeks before beginning to
ripen. Last season We visited the extern
sive pear orchards OF Hon. d. G.. Dunk
lin, Grsenyi1Ie, Ala, at the time when
that gentleman was gathering his fruit

A good fairly representative COW Of anv
of the dairy breeds may be made to ig-
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 y
yet if it was properly managed, and never
will. The wild advocates of other breeds
have sometimes denounced the "thai
milk of the Holstein- FriesisH but

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 farmsr.

creameries strongly Recommended.

Bulletin No of the Texas expert

urges the people of Texas to lend their
announcement to an establishment of
creameries, particularly in the neighbor-
hood of towns. ssThe advantage to any

regions, especially, for a considerable
portion of the year there is little or no
money in circulation among farmers.
Creameries, if successfully developed,
will largely change this condition of
things, and keep money in circulation
ton throughout the year. Merchants
can well afford 20 subscribe literally for
creamery stock, knowing that the enter
prise will add to the general prosperity
of the town, and bring increased custom

creameries in the South have been in
successful operation for several years,

The profits to the farmer producing the beets
was from $40 70 SIS per acre.
The Omaha Bee says the Grand Island
plant will have q capacity of $50 tons of
beets per day, which will make i'll the
neighborhood of fifty tons of refined
sugar. All the machinery necessary for
manufacturing and refining will be put in
and made ready for working the beet
crop of this year. A full crop will not
be raised this season-about 5000 acres
will be worked to beets-but 1891 will
find in all the acreage originally calcu-
lated upon A belt railroad is building
around the city through the beet lands to
enable producers to lay their products
down at the mills promptly and at small
cost.
Now, If the sugar beet can be made to
succeed as q crop for Texas-and a study
of the regions and conditions where it
does succeed leaves little room for doubt
on this point-we might locate within
our boundaries half dozen concerns like
the one in Nebraska, without any kind
of crowding whatever. Indeed, but for
the newspapers one would scarcely be
able 20 find one of them if they were
well scattered over the state. But
they'd be well worth having all the
Texas that they are entirely fea ible and
the first thing you know Texas will
get them. Huge enterprises are some
thing strictly in accord with Texas taste,
and it is pretty generally understood
that all needed to give Texas exactly
what she wants and can make good use
of is for some pushing leader TO set her
people talking in that direction. The
psopie of Texas, taken as q whole, are
now the most progressive people known.
They are as q unit as far as relates to I'M
flinching faith in Texas. An article in
late issue of the Manufacturers Record,
Baltimore, says: Texas stands to-day
in the fore front of Southern progress.
Her people are fully alive TO her magni-
fieent advantages. Every intelligent
tourist sees the evidences OF this wherever
he travels in the state. The merchant
of'whom he buys goods, the barber who
shaves him, the boy who blacks his boots
and the waiter who serves his food-aIl
talk TO him about the glories of Texas,
and especially about the splendid pros
poets of the parti ular town in which
they live. The same spirit of progress
asserts itself ia all the ne vspapers, from
the great dailies to the smallest and most
obscure country weeklies. Ali
are Wanting Texas as whole, and their
own special localities as parts OF that
whole. The like of this universal spirit
OF state pride in state progress has no
counterpart in all these UCited States. -

to 1000 people. All of which is looked
upon as a most splendid thing for Grand
