Another Jute Baggrns Crusher,

The Boston Advertiser says: ga new
substitute for jute baggin9 has been dis
covered in the South by o. B. Warrand
OF Savannah, Ga. who has patented IN
ventions for the various processes for
working up the fibre. The Morning
News calls it the fibre OF the future.
This new substitute is distinctively
Southern product, and known as the saw
palmetto or palm, which grows luxu-
riantly in South Carolina, Alabama,
Georgia and Florida.
All we have TO say with reference to
the matter Is that bagginc fibre cannot
be got from tn saw palmetto-the Sabal
srrrulata of bottanists. Two years ago
while investigating for fiber plants, we
had it thoroughly tested by the best ex-
perts in tine country. 1t yields a rather
nice looking fibre, but the fibre is with
out strength. 1t makes a fair material
with which to aduiterate manila fibre in
the manufacture of paper, but il can
never be Used in the manufacture OF
baggiug.

Green Peas In Autumn.

We have 1t from the papers that q man
up in Virginia got cranky enough to put
a small area of land under q system of
irrigation. His neighbors all laughed q
him, Of course, but he went ahead all the
same. In the midst of his crankiness
he planted q crop of English peas late in
summer. The like had never before
been heard of in Virginia, but now the
laugh is coming in from an entirely diff
ferent direction. That crank who first
astonished the people of the Old Do
miuiou by his operations, is now aston
ishing the people of New York by ship
ping them green peas. Two weeks ago
he shipped seventy-five baskets, and
they " ent off like hot cakes at 81 so per
basket. This wGs only the beginning.
He has large quantity coming on to
ship yet. and will snip regularly twice
week till December. Commenting on
the matter q contemporary says the fact
is we have got much to learn relative to
the trucking business. Who would have
thought of full-grown peas in November
and December! And there Is nothing off
about those peas-they are tender, juicy
and palatable. They tickle the palates
Of the New Workers immensely. The
grower is one among Virginia 3 thriving,
energetic, go-ahead truckers who are
continually improving upon old and
adopting new methods. Green peas in
the open air in October, November aud
December! What do our Northern
friends think of that? Ii speaks volumes
for Southern possibilities.
For surely there is nothing at all sur
prisng about this statement. 1t is sum-
mer drouth alone that makes the English
pea a strictly spring crop. Under cor
rect system OF irrigation it would grow
just as well in the fall as it grows In the
spring without artificial water supply.
Was irrigation the rule In Texas, Texans
might now be enjoy ing their fresh green
peas without anything whatever in the

The Northern Tree Man.

A tree peddler came to my house q few days
ago and :ried 20 sell me- a stock of fruit trees TO
be sent from some nursery 1 had never before
heard Of away up in one OF the Northern states.
He offered Is argument that the trees having
been grown In far north latitu lie were neces-
saril; more hardy than the same kind OF trees
would be grown in the South, ana were, there
fore. sure to fruit well in Texas. Do you think
his theory q correct one? Z. L. WARREN.
fosque county, Texas.
He was not u tree peddler evidently
we call his like tree men, though, as q
rule, there is another word that might
be correctly substituted for Imam, -
and its not ''hum ming bird - either.
He was not O tree peduler, for the ped
dler would have had his trees along with
him peddllng them out as he went. 1t
is not at all probable that he was even au
agent with credentials, representing
rome responsible nursery, for responsible
Northern nurseries don't often send
agents 1000 miles or SO away from home
to sell trees in the South. It wouldn t
pay the nursery to ship trees SO far and
sell them Ill honest competition with the
Southern nurseries.
Fellows of that particular ilk are usu-
ally in business for themselves. While
they may pretend to represent somebody
they are almost invariably the bead and
foot OF the firm themselves. If you
give them your order they will possibly
fill it after q manner OF their own. They
Will go TO the nearest nurseries and buy
up "culls' which, without regard to
variety, they will label to suit the Or
ders taken. How will you be able to
know the difference? II will be years
before your trees come into bearing to
settle the question as to whether or not
tree man, where, oh! were will he be?
If we were called for advice in such
cases, we'd earnestly advise everybody
to have nothing whatever to do with any
such chaps. Buy trees only of responsl-
BILE home nurserymen, who can be held
to account for any shortcomings on the
contract. We have plenty Of such nur-
serymen IN Texas, and permit US to as
sure you that any goods they may offer
Will be better for Texas than any goods
that could be had from abroad. They
have been carefully selected with an eye
to best results in the regions where they
are to be sold. That selection is based
on past tests and experience. Those
nursery men are endeavorlng to build up
q good reputation for their establish
ments.
The man g theory about his Northern
grown trees is entirely without plausible
foundation. An acciamated tree invari-
ably does better in the South than one
unacclimated.
Patronize your home nurseries; or, at
least nursersles that you know all about
and can hold responsible for every trans
action had with them. Running any
risk on fruit trees is a bad thing to do,
for bear in mind that after q few failures
you will have passed through too many
years to need fruit trees.

Canned Fruits,

Most fruits, according to the Massa-
chusetts Ploughman. are entirely whole
some if used while fresh, and in modera-
ton. No fruits are wholesome where q
person gorges himself with them between
meals on the plan too COM
monty resorted to. Fruits are food
Us much as bacon and beans are
food, and any person ought to
know that it would not do to gorge on
bacon and beans between meals. But
canned fruits are something entirely diff
ferrnt from fresh fruits. They require
powerful stomach to get along in their
use, and even then their daily use for
any length of time is dangerous. The
concentrated sweetness OF the dissolved
sugar is not good as a steady diet. But
canned fruits are less dangerous than the
old style OF preserved fruits, where
"pouud for pound' is used.

The Vernon Guard says hundreds of
people in the region where it is publis ed
are throwing away their old fashioned
rail fences and replacing them with
barbed wire. Timber is not particularly
scarce, but the universal decision seems
to he that wire fences are the best. Then
they are cheaper in the long run. Many
are hauling their old rails to town for
fire wood and realizing more for them
than the wire 10 replace the fence cost.
We have BEEN noticing that same kind
of thing at Fort Worth. :Old rails ire
wood is now cutting quite figure on
the market here.
Pursuing the subject of wire fencing
still further the Guard says 400 pounds
OF wire will make one strand of fencing
for mile, or about 1900 pounds for a
four wire fence. Posts twenty feet apart
204 to the mile. Three quarters of
mile OF fence will lpclose twenty acres
and one mile forty acres. Eighty acres
can be inclosed with one and a half mile
Of fence. One hundred and sixty acres
with two miles, 220 with three and $40
acres with four miles of fence. At the
present prices wire fence Is really the
cheapest fence that can be built.

Indications of Lead Ore .

Can you inform me through THE GAZETTE
what character Of dirt or rock lead ore is usually
found in? Is the appearance upon the surface
of consida rabe quantities of lead ore, in Jumps,
much indica ion of a great quantity beneath the
surface? Are the veins or leads of lead ore
usually deep beneath the surface? Any infor-
nation on this subject that you may feel con-
strained to give will be appreciated by sub
scri5er. J. d. ROBINSON.
Sonora, Tex.
Lead ore usually occurs in what is
known to biologists as the Silurian rocks.
We could not describe the rocks here go
that you would be able to recognize them
if you are not a practical geologist. Pro-
fessor E. I. Dumble, state geologist Of
Texas, says in his first annual report.
page xiii: "The lead deposits (of
Texas) belong principally &c this system
(Silurian) and while exact correlation
cannot be made on the basis of present
knowledge, the close relationship to the
galenu limestoGes OF Missouri, Illinois
and Wisconsin is proved. Therefore the
prospector for lead has to watch the oc-
currence of the rocks (of the
Slurisn), and having familiar
lied himself with them, he can
confine his work TO localities in which he
finds them outcropping, and thereby
save himself much useless labor; and it
will bring TO light large and valuable
deposits Of this ore (for Texas) in the
limestones of this (Siiurian) period. -
Your locality ls not in the Silurian,
therefore your chances for finding much
lead ore about Sonora are exceedingly
slim. True there are sometimes such
freaks as cause certain rocks to appear
in systems where they would seem not TO
belong. In such case the only thing
that would justify prospecting would lie
in familiariZing yourself with the Sllu-
riun rocks, thus securing the means of
making sure that they exist where you
are hoping to find lead. You could
study these rocks in Mason, Llano or
Burnet counties, where is now supposed
to be the lead ore center of Texae.
The appearance upon the surface of
small Jumps of lead ore is not always an
indication of ore beneath. We have
often met with something like that hun
dreds of miles away from any lead-bear-
ing rocks. The ore may have been
brought from some lead region as drift
the same as quartz pebbles have been
brought; and then, again, it may have
been brought by indians. The Indian
appears to have been quite a curiosity
collector. One is apt TO find upon the
sites of his old towns many curious rocks
that he collected and often among thess
chunks of lead ore. The deposit OF q
lead vein depends upon the depth OF the
lead bearing rock at that point. If the
rock is at an outcrop the lead may ap-
pear Immediately at the surface, but
otherwise otherwise.

Our well-Informed correspondent
leaves us in the dark Us to what species
of short-iPaf pine his father planted.
There are three species common in the
South. Growing near the coast is the
Cuban pine (Pinus cubersisO, very
pretty species. but one that would not be
apt TO succeed far inland. Further up
sets in and extends to the northern
border of the Southern pine country, the
rlchland pine (Pinus mitis), another
beautiful species mainly peculiar 10 the
lime lands. This is the species named
by Us i'll former article as probably
well suited to Texas growth on account
of the kind of soil preferred by it. 1t
rrauspIants reasonably well while
very young, makes rapid growth and
bears trimming iuto any shape desired.
The third species is the loblolly or old
field pine (PInus teda), found growing
in all regions where the long-!eaf pine
grows. While young 1t Is a very pretty
tree, but it soon begins throwing off its
lower branches, and eventually takes on
rather scraggling habit. 1t is the larg-
est growing pine to be met with in the
South, often attaining to the height of
hundred feet, and to the diameter, at
base, of four or five feet. rs q timber

could get it, but in our inability to obtain
this species we'd try the old field pine.
None of these species can be said to
transplant we'll, but if taken ct the end
OF the first years growth most of the
trees will live. There Is no use attem pit
ing to succeed with well grown trees, say
three or four feet high.
The long-leaf pine is most attractive
tree on account of its long, broom-like
that 1t would succeed on most of the
sandy or gravelly lands of Texas, but 1t
would have to be started from seed, as
very few indeed would every grow trans

Appearance Sells Poultry.

Mr.. n. j. Shepard of Eldon, Mo-,
says il is the appearance 1t presents on
the market that sells poultry at good
figures. comparatively little care will
make an amazingly great difference.
Where poultry have good range ana
are fed regularly night and morning
they will be in good condition. SO that
only a few DAYS good feeding will be
necessary to properly prepare them for
market. If the poultry is to be sent in
dressed it should be kept from food
twenty -four hours before killing. II to
be "picked dry arrange to commence
the work so soon as the fowl is dend.
The feathers should be taken off while
the body is warm. If to be scalded, the
water should be nearly boiling; dip the
fowl in, holding it by the legs. getting
the feathers well soaked; by pulling the
wing or tail feathers il Is easv to deter
mine when he scalding is sufficient. At
ter dressing. the fowl should be washed
out we'll and then dipped i'll hot water,
and then hung up to dry out and cool.
This will aid to make it look plump; be-
sides it must be thoroughly cooled be-
fore packing. Clean boxes or barrels
should be used, lining the inside either
with clean manila paper or clean straw
not hay or anything else with seeis,
for the seeds will shatter off on the fowls
and make them look dirty. In packing
care should be exercised to not press the
fowls out of shape; at the same time
they should be packed sufficiently tight
TO prevent chatting or bruising in baud
ling the packages. 1t always paws to
take little pans to have the fowls ap-
pear upon the market in the best pos
sibIe condition in every respect, for it
will materially aid III securing the best
prices; and, if the market is glutted es
it sometimes is, you poultry will in
variabiy be the poultry to 20 off first.

Volcano at Austin The Human Voiee-Fish-
Ing After a City-1he seven Modern
Wonders - Something About
Oysters-Elec'ricity.

1t may not be generally known that
Texas has, in her thickly settled regions,
an extinct volcano, or rather the ruins
of what was once, evidently, an active
Volcano but such is undoubtedly Ahe
fact. In the latest (November) issue of
the American Geologist Professor Rob-
ert T. Hill of the United States
among the varied Typographical
features about Austin are some
low rounded hills which, appearing
seven miles southwest of the city, pre-
sent peculiar aspect. Upon closer
study these hills are found to consist of
several cusps of igneous rock rising from
a circular depressed area of about 1000
acres, and projecting through the chalk
strata surfacing that region.
The rock composing these hills, being
igneous, is entirely unlike any other
rocks in that neighborhooG. The regu-
lar sedimentary and stratifed 70 ks
round about show unmistakable indlca-
tions Of great volcanic disturbance in
past age of the earth s geological history.
One Of these hills, the largest of the
groupe, 10 locally known as Pilot Knob.
After careful investigation Professor
Hill has decided that this knob is what
he calls "the neck of an ancient vol
cano, - whose crater has long since be
worn away. Fragments of the same
rock are found scattered over four or five
miles around, thus strongly strengthen
ing the hypothesis that the top OF the
volcano has been cut away By denuding
agents down to the stem.
This important discovery worked up by
Professor Hill ought to open out for
Austin q new avenue through which to
boom herself as an attractive resort for
sight seekers. The opportunity OF
scrambling about over the stem of an
ancient volcano is not often q thing of
such easy attainment as It would seem to
be in this particular case II Fort Worth
had that old relic within seven miles Of
her she would at once run an electric
railroad out to 1t, and lay off suburban

tonians carry the reputation of being
