OF course we are not arguing in favor Of
all cotton or all anything else, but simply in
favor OF an attainment to methods OF
cheaper production and consequently
profitable production, to be followed b
greater production. AS shown by what
many are already doing there is no kind of
good reason for why such an attainment
might not become general, and until it does
become general agriculture can never be
made the paying business, viewed as a
whole, that our natural advantages open the
way for it to be- Cheaper production
should be our leading study as farmers
both individually and collectively. There
is no particular line of study in this direc-
ton to be mapped out. The necessary
philosophers stone" must be found, O,
in strict attention to details; (2), in the
adoption of every available advantage pre-
senting itself, and (3) in the proper after
management of certain products when they
have been produced. The people of the
great corn states North do not worry them
selves about overproduction, and yet, as we
last week showed in statement made by
the Indiana Farmer, the average clear
profits on an acre of corn up there is only
cents-not on the bushel, but on the entire
acre. For all this the farmers of those
regions appear to be prospering-it is not an
unusual thing for people of the South to
point to their prosperity as some
thing entirely ahead of the prosperity
enjoyed by farmers Of our own section.
How is that on all corn, so to speak, and
only cents to the acre proft2 The eX-
PLANTATION is easy. Those farmers produce
all the corn they can, but their work for
the season does not stop so soon as the corn
is safely in the crib. Did the work stop
here, as it does with with not few of our
Southern farmers, there would be just
cause for setting up hue and cry about
overproduction. On the other hand, the
work of the Northern farmer goes on until
his corn is converted into pork or something
else calculated to bring him a living profit.

THE GAZETTE: FIT. WORTH, TEXAS, SUNDAY, MAY 3,

Woody fiber IS. OF
A comparison will show that our fescue
is entirely superior to the famous Ken
lucky blue grass, as it contains much
higher per cent Of albuminoids or flesh
forming principles, also higher per cent
of fat forming principles-the two most i'm
portant principles figuring in a grass or
hay.
To get at the values of 4 pasture grass it
would be necessary to analyze the grass in
the green state. This Professor Way has
done, footing up for fescue grass as follows:

of feSoue grass against Kentucky blue
grass. The green fescue grass has con-
siderably larger per cent of flesh-forIning
principles and very much larger per cent
of fat-forming principles than has the green
Kentucky blue grass. Upon this we must
conclude that our fescue is in every way
more valuable than Kentucky blue grass.
We have at hand no table of analysis made
on Texas Blue grass, but doubtless it would
give just about the same showing as Ken
lucky blue grass.
Speaking of the Kentucky blue grass
Professor Kilebrew says Sit is the king OF
all pasture grasses on soils where it can be
grown. Whoever has blue grass has the
basis for all agricultural prosperity; and
that man, if he has not the finest horses,
cattle and sheep, has no one to blame but
himself Others in other circumstances
may do well-he cannot help doing well if
he will simply try
Verify then, as you must see, our fescue
grass, the which is in every way superior
to Kentucky blue grass, ought to be
looked upon as entirely worthy of en-
enlargement. In some portions of the
country it has been regularly cultivated
both as a hay and pasture grass. Seed
for its propagation is often to be found on
the market. 1t is very light, the standard
weight of fescue grass seed being only ten
pounds to the bushel
Within the past week we have had sew
eral letters inclosing specimens of this
same grass for Identification. All persons
who have sent such letters and do not find
them replied to directly in to days GAZETTE
may take it for granted that the grass sent
was the fescue. A wisp of the slme grass
was, per request Of some interior friends,

florists say, roseate.
Botanists have classed this beautiful
plant with the evening primroses, but we
look upon this as to some extent a mistake,
owing to the fact that IT is not an evening
bloomer. The flower opens at night and re-
mains open throughout the next day-often
through two days. OF course it is prim-
rose, but not an evening primrose.

handsome sum. as there were between 1000
and 5000 people present at 81 head. 1t
was an exhibition of fisticuffs, interspersed
with club swinging and sword contests.
The magnet which drew the crowd was
the announcement that John L. Sullivan
and Paddy Ryan would box three rounds in
the buff. Everybody wantedt to see how the
king of punchers looked in ring costume
with his lovely whiskers. and many desired
to have a squint at Paddy, who, in his
palmy days, was the recognized champion
of the world-that was before the coming Of
the American 100ton gun.
After lengthy programme, which occu-
pied two hours and q half, Ryan and Sulli-
van appeared.
Ryan was the first to enter the ring. He
looked fat and healthy. At his heels came

The play selected was entitled Macbeth"
and was an adaptation from this Shakespe-

substituted for that of Lady Macbeth, while
the main plot of this historical tragedy re-

The representation throughout was
marked by completeness of detail that
fully justified the congratulations extended
to those under whose management the play
was presented. The students who sus-
tanned the leading characters acquitted
themselves in highly creditable manner.
and the able assistance OF those who assumed
the minor roles materially contributed TO the
well-earned success of the presentation.
