Chicago Tribune: AND now comes the
story from New York hat David Bennett
Hill wants to be governor of New York
yet another term, or rather, for part of
another term. A Democratic prophet

spring Hip as harmony candidate in
the Democratic state convention at Sara
toga next month, and that eff elected he
will call the legislature together and Ros-
well P. Flower will be chosen United
States senator If he is defeated he will
20 to the senate himself. That is the
Job" From all Of which it would appear
that Mr.. Hill thinks he will be able to do
more to keep New York in line for him
self as presidential candidate by remain
ing at Albany than by going to Wash
ington. What does Mr.. Cleveland think
of the program?

THAT ovER-PRoDUcrIoN.

Farm and Ranch advances the idea that
not 4 few farmers in Texas give as reason
for holding back on more extensive stock
raising, that the market prices are too low
to justify anything more. Our contempor-
airy concludes that under the existing state
of affairs the reason may be well-founded,
but there is a way to knock that particular
stumbling block entirely off the track. The
trouble does not come of over-production,
but rather of under-production. Let the
farmers in neighborhood go to work and
raise stock enough to attract buyers-less
than a carload will not do this. The more
cattle or ioes that are raised on a farm or
in a neighborhood, the better the prices
they command, for large product will call
in such buyers as are willing and able to
pay good prices, for the reason that extern
sive purchases will enable them to find
cheaper facilities for getting their pur-
chases to market To get a small quantity
of anything to market costs more proper
tionately than it does to get large guam
tity to market, and the purchaser is forced
to make the producer pay the proportion
ately greater cost by awarding him less for
his product. Nothing could be palmer.
The same rule applies to all marketable
products of the farm as well as to livestock
We must raise more in order to give the
purchaser cheaper shipping facilities, for
in cheaper shipping facilities lies one of the
two greatest advantages, that should engage
the attention of farmers. Of course, many
might contend that the cheaper shipping
facilities would rebound only to the good of
the first purchaser, but this would be
mistake undoubtedly. If there was but one
purchaser in the world such might be the
case, but, fortunately for US, there is just
as much competition among the purchasers
of farm products as there is in any other
line of business. The purchaser will pay
all that he possibly can pay to run against
competitors.
The other advantage limited at lies in
cheaper production. This is a local affair
There is no business in which does not ex-
ist spirit of competition, and cheaper pro-
duction is 4 most important thing in compe-
tition between ourselves as farmers. The
men who can produce farm commodities at
least expense rule the market and make
most of the money that is made.

saving and sale of seed has proved very
profitable business for hosts of people in
his region. The seed saving fills space of
time ordinarily unoccupied-the space after
cotton has been laid by and before cotton
picking begins. Large quantities of seed
are saved in Hale county, but it is proper
to state, for his own protection, that Mr..
melilotus seed.
So far in this article we have followed
Mr.. Shepherd, and now few words for
ourself. Eighteen years ago we began grow
''melilotus'' (Meliiotus officinalis), in the
state of Alabama; and we grew it continu-
oualy up to last year, when certain induce
ments held out caused us to pull up and
move to Texas. In his communication Mr.
Shepherd has advanced few ideas that we
know nothing about from personal expert
ence, but he has hit the nail squarely on the
head in every case where we are fully in
formed, and we have no kind of reason for
believing that he has not hit the nail with
equal squareness in every position which
ne has taken.
AS yet, though travelling over most of the
state, we have not seen Melilotus officinalis
in Texas. We ought to start it here, by
all means. OF course we have more really
good things here than they have in any
other section of the world, still that is no
kind of reason why we should stop. There
can exist no danger Of our getting too many
good things in Texas.
This Southern species of melilotus would
be great success in Texas, especially
along our river and creek bottoms exposed
to occasional overflow. Our overfows, if
they come at all, usually come about the
last of June. The blue melilotus, being
winter growth, would be off at that time, so
far as relates to surface development, and
the temporary overflow would not at all
affect the roots dormant in the grounds.
Now, what have you got to say with refer
ence to melilotus and pecans? The over
flow would help your pecan trees, while it
would not in the least hurt your melilotus.
The roots of the melilotus would sleep
through the overflow and be all the better
for it, and in fall they would burst out with
renewed vigor and give you a winter pas
ture and an early spring hay crop that could
have no equal in anything else that you
could grow for that purpose. Was there
ever region of country so favored as
Texas, if we will only take advantage of
natures gifts?
Don't answer this question to US. but an
swer 1t in your own minds. And above all,
don't write to US about putting you on the
track o. melilotus seed for sale, for we
know OF no one who has 4 pound of it to
offer. There is plenty of it on the market,
no doubt, but we are not informed as to
where it is.

A GOOD FOUNDATION NEEDED.

The man who would undertake to rear a
great and expensive structure ON a very in
ferior foundation would be looked upon as
fool. The same thing ought to hold good
with everything, without regard to the i'm
portauced of the transaction, for proper
tionately the result will pan out exactly the
same. These remarks are intended to pre-
face the substance of an article with refer
ence to milk-giving COWS, appearing in q
late issue of the American Dairyman. That
publication says an occasional change OF
diet, as quite generally-recommend may
be all well enough for the cows and their
owner, yet it is not enough. The writer has
not one word to say against the scientific in
vestigations that have led to recommend
alton of such and such a cour,e of feeding,
but he is in favor of ringing in little
common sense along with those recon-
mendations. While food-treatment may
have advantageous effects it can
never convert a bad cow into
good COW. When the host of men
who are trying to make good cows out of
poor stock by giving them large quantities
of rich food shall learn that they are at
tempting the impossible, they will have
mastered one of tho important lessons with

A TREELESS PLAIN.

l have lately made tour of Texas, and
while was well pleased with the apparent
richness of your land, could not help feel
ing that would not like to live in a treeless
plain, such as seems to be the character of
most of your state. All my life l have been
used to trees and heavy forests, and it oc-
ours to me that your Texas people are some
what misleading in your advertising of
your advantages, for you never take the
pains to tell the world at large that Texas.
is simply treeless plain. l visited Texas
on account Of what l had seen in the agri-
cultural department of the Fort Worth GA
zETTE with reference to your great agri-
cultural advantages; but l. from the pre-
vious estimate l had placed upon your accu-
racy as writer, in another region of our
common country, was not prepared to see
what / saw. A treeless plain, apparently
without boundary. / talked to some of the
Texas people about it, and they said:
-"Why, Texas is not treeless by any means.
Don't you see that skirt of timber running
across away over yonder,. and that skirt of
timber away over yonder?" and so on
Timberl s'Scrub" is what we would call

you do little more for your fellow-me
and possibly aid them in saving their money

trips, by slipping it in occasionally that

Townsville, Ala
In our talks about Texas we usually talk
Of natural advantages, owing to the fact
Fort Worth gazette. [volume] (Fort Worth, Tex.) 1891-1898, 1891-11-15

that there are really no disadvantages to
bring up that would be considered worthy
of the name. It takes long time for one
to touch upon all the natural advantages
belonging to the state, which may account
for why we have never yet had up this tree
and timber matter. It would have been
brought in after awhile, however, for the
very thing that our correspondent kicks
against with so much vim is one Of the
things that we class up as among the very
best natural advantages belonging to Texas
as great agricultural state.
Texas is here to stay as the leading agri-
cultural state of the Union. She is all
ready and waiting for the agriculturist when
he gets ready to locate upon himself her
broadsurface and begin plying his vocation.
Her lands are cleared and ready for his pillow
all necessary for MIN is to locate, throw up
cheap wire fence, get out his teams and
agricultural implements and begin work.
There are no heavy forests to be felled, logs
to be heaped and burned, stumps to grub
up, and all that sort of thing-nature has
arranged to save him all that character of
arduous and improbable labor.
OF what advantage are heavy timber
growths to an agricultural regions, any
waya They must be removed ere the
lands can be used for crops, and the cost of
removing them is immense. A little while
at most and the timber will be all gone,
and then where comes in the timber ad-
vantage2 To clear up properly and get
ready for the plow 1O0-acres of land
heavily timbered would cost more than
would cost all the timber and lumber
needed by that 100 acre farm, even though
shipped from hundreds of miles away, for
at least fifty years to come. Then, pray
tell it, where are the advantages to the
agriculturist in timbered lands? In clear
ing up his timber-land the farmer did not
save his timber for use in the future-he
burned it in log-heaps to get it out of the
way. He could not have got rid of it on
any other plan, owing to the fact that
being in a heavily timbered region every
body had all the timber needed, hence there
was no demand. Burning it out of the way
was the only alternative. Here in the
prairie regions of Texas, we have no
timber in our way, as already stated. We
fence and go to work. The scrub"
mentioned by our correspondent supplies
US with all the wood-fuel we need, and for
building purposes we have the finest brick
clays and stones known to the world. But
if we prefer building with wood we can get
our lumber at figures so | title below what
you folks over there in the long-leaf pine
country pay for what you get, at the
mills, that were we to give you the figures
you would go around all over the country

which the successful dairyman must be-
come familiar. Where there is capacity
for milk production 1t can be developed by
proper feeding and care, but all the feed
and all the care that can possibly be given
will never make good mixer out of cow
which has no natural capacity in that d.
rection. There must be suitable founda-
ton to build upon. In other words, unless
the cow has good milking qualities natur-
ally, the man is acting the part Of fool
who undertakes to make them by feeding
up, according to scientific directions, upon
an animal to which nature has given no
qualities susceptible of development. This
is not kick against any strain, or even
against our scrub cattle. 1t simply means
that a COW without naturally good milking
qualities is not worth fooling with where a
profitable mixer is in demand.

I have in my possession an old book which
treats largely on the value of peanut oil. 1t
is mentioned as being equal to olive oil in

Thirty-fve years ago there was abig boom
on raising peanuts for the oil, and quite an
extensive mill for grinding the nuts ap<
pressing out the oil was establisbSc in.
North Carolina; but the cheaper Sott9H
seed oil coming in later, and being Fsgood
for everything" eventually killed the in
dustry. The peanut is good enough any
way, without taking the oil into considera-
ton.
