OUR CONDITIONS.

| am not subscriber to the Fort Worth
GAZETTE but l see copies of the weekly
edition now and then and they have much
impressed me with the large quantities of
information given direct to correspondents
on the agricultural page. There are few
points that | myself would ike TO have
some special information on, therefore
please write and let me- know your condi-
tons in such cases. OF course / do not en-
pect to trouble you without giving YOU !

1t IS by no means an uncommon thing for
US to receive letters similar to yours, there
fore. for the benefit of all concerned. We
have decided to answer you through the
paper, and send you, post paid, the copy
containing our answer
Standing permanently at the head OF this
division on the agricultural page you will
find our only terms. We make no other
terms with any one. If you are not 4 sub
scriber to the paper, and think the informa-
ton YOU desire to obtain would not be worth
the price of subscription (only 81 year,,
we will attend to your wants ali the same,
but we will not agree to send you copy of
the paper containing our reply, as not a few
correspondents ask us to do. OF course we
don't so much care for the cost, to US, of
single paper, with the necessary postage
thereon, but we really have no time on our
hands that we can spare in attending to
such things. SO send on your favors. and
if you cannot afford to take the Weekly
GAZETTE at only 81 a year. Offering you i
chance for information on fifty-two qucs-
tons, or more, that you might be pleased to
ask, you must take your own risk on seeing
our replies
This is all there is of it. The proprietors
of The GAZETTE pay US for the work we
are doing, but, SO far as relates to our in
formation department, they do not bind US
to devote our work strictly TO patrons. The
work is for people of all the country in gen.
eral and people of Texas in particular So
now we leave the matter wholly with you
and all similar inquiring friends. The
work is paid for by THE GAZETTE as already
intimated. If it was personal affair of
our own we would probably charge you
from $40 to $50 for every reply sent you.
far more than you would consider the work
worth, of course. provided you cannot feel
yourself justified in taking the paper at
only 81 year for the sake of such desired
information as we might be able to give you
in fifty-two issues.
This information business would be far
more expensive to direct patronage than
most persons are thinking, possibly. 1t
calls for an immense amount of work. We
don't claim to know everything, by any
means, but the devotion of a long series of
years to the study of such things as people
are apt to desire information on, and the
collection through that time of large
library of first-class authorities treating in
he same direction. enables us to seldom
fail of getting through. But it is no child's
play for US. by any manner Of means. Not
infrequently little question comes, couched
in but three or four lines, that drives us
into research through dozen volumes or
more ere the correct answer can be given
1t was these special advantages of ours, and
our own willingness TO work necessarily,
that caused THE GAZETTE TO employ Us for
for the benefit of its patrons and friends.
