BEE COUNTY and BEBVILLE.
New Ell Dorado for HOmeseekers and
Investors.

Bee county lies midway between the
San Antonio and Nueces rives, less than
100 miles southeast of San Antonio, 100
west of Houston, so from Arkansas Pass,
the future great seaport, aud 200 from
the Rio Grande. The county is generally
level or rolling prairie, but well drained
and entirely free from marshes. Black
sandy loan with clay sub-soil Is the pre-
vailing quality of soil, interpreted in
some portions with very, rich, black mes
quite land. While the soil is as rich as
any in Texas, there is none but what
contains sand enough to scour on the
pillow. Bee county will average as much
cotton to the acre as any in the state.
Picking begins a month earlier and con-
tinues a month later than in North Texas
Corn and oats grow we'll, never having
failed entirely, Wheat is but little
soRn. The crop of natural mesquite hay
is something immense. Irish and sweet
potatoes, melons, pumpkins and all
kinds of vegetables grow to great pertec-
tIon. Pears, peaches, plumsr aprioots,
figs, oranges, bananas, Strawberries,
raspberries and all kinds OF small fruits
grow remarkably well, as demonstrated
upon the market fruit farms that are
being opened around Beeville. Bee
county has plenty of timber for fuel and
fencing About three-fourths of the coun-
ty is susceptible Of cultivation, though
less than 10 per cent. is now cultivated.
Raising of cattle, horses aud mules has
been the chief occupation Of the people
until 1890, when the farm average has
been tenfold increased. Much attention
is given 10 improving the breeds and
stock farming is destined to be the lead
ing industry. The bIizzard's chilling
blast spends its fury before reaching Bee
county aud has bus little influence upon
the thermometer. Sixty miles is far
