COLORED REPUBLICANS.
Democratic Lies Whereby to MisIesd
Negro Voters.

Negro Voters.
Democratic organs occasionally howl
about the ''beggarly" way in which the
republican party has treated the negro
in the matter of offices and try to per-
suade the colored voters that they
could do better by casting their lot
with the democracy. The absurdity of
such talk is apparent, but Hon. John
NJ. Langston none the less deserves
thanks for the statistics he has collect
ed on the subject, as they effectually
dispose of all the noisy Bourbon clam
or on the subject and are convincing
proof that the colored republican is
given fair share of the rewards Of
party victory.
According to Mr.. Langston's care
fully compiled figures there are almost
twenty-four hundred colored men en-
ployed in the various departments at
Washington, besides the many en-
ployed in various positions throughout
the country. Six colored men have
been appointed to consular positions by
the present administration, besides
those given other places. Such facts
prove cOHcluSlVely tne SrOunuleSS ma
ture of the democratic talk, and will
prevent colored voters from being mis-
led in Ohio this fall.
The democratic party never did any
thing for the negro that it was not
compelled to do. 1t kept him in slave
ry as long as possible, and fought per-
sistently against giving him the ballot.
In congress, for the last twenty years,
it has busted itself turning out the ne
groes whom the republicans elected,
whenever it had the power, and it
never recognizes colored man unless
compelled to do so by circumstances.
It's record is one of continual hostility
to the col ored man while the republic
an party has always been his friend.
1t has given him his fair share of the
offices. In proportion to the number
of votes cast he is as well treated as
any other element of the party What
is more, the negro voters of Ohio are
wide awake and intelligent enough to
know this, and they can be trusted not
to be misled by any silly democratic
lies to the contrary.-Cleveland Leader,

WORD FOR THE PECAN.

1
! That best among our Southern farm
papers, the Florida Farmer and Fruit
| Grower, quotes a Northern agricultural
paper as jubilatlng over the fact that s'the
crop of chestnuts and hickory nuts this
year is very large. All over the mountains,
from Virginia to New York state, the nut
trees are full of fruit 1t is quite probable
that chestnuts will wholesale in New York
at cents per pound, and hickory nuts at
half that rate.'' Commenting on this the
| Farmer and Fruit Grower states that good
| pecans are readily selling in the South,
| where they grow, at 81 bushel. Upon
this our contemporary concludes that the
pecan must be an extremely good tree to
plant, especially where the right kind of
soil and other natural conditions can be
| found.
That right kind of soil and natural con-
ditions exist all over Texas, the true home
Of the pecan. We could make lots of
money here raising pecans at 81 bushel,
| owing to the fact that We are out nothing
upon them beyond the simple planting and
| harvesting. We have thousands upon
thousands of acres along our streams which,
on account of occasional inundation, are
considered safe for no other crop. From
fear of overflow the lands are allowed to
run to briars and scrubby tree-growths.
The pecan tree will grow there, all on its
own hook, as well as would any other
species of tree growth. All needed is to
start it where it is desired to come on in
the future pecan grove, keep crowding
growths out of the way and let it develop
until we are ready to clear up the grounds
and convert them into an open pecan plan
tation. The harvesting of the nuts amounts
to nothing worthy Of mention. When the

yond picking them up and sacking them for

Of course it takes time to bring a pecan
grove into profitable bearing, for the pecan
is not an annual, but why hesitate on that
account, since the planting costs so little9
Let the pecan grove be coming on-every
year of its life will enhance the value of the
land, until it does come into profitable
bearing. The pecan interest now fully
aroused in Texas will never abate. Every

WINTER APPLES IN TEXAS.

Under proper arrangements we could
raise winter apples as well in Texas, and
keep them over as well, especially in North
Texas, as can be done in any of the So
called apple states above us. People don't
think so, as rule, however, and if the or
binary varieties grown at the North are
the varieties to be tested the doubling peo-
pie will be found correct in most cases.
What we want for Texas is line of apples
that run very late before coming to ripe
ness. The ordinary varieties of Northern
winter apples would ripen here about the last
of August leaving US to keep them through
more than two months of our warmeSt
weather. This We could not do, OF course
they would rot on our hands. But if we
have an apple that would grow on through
all the summer and early fall months,
without the slightest check, getting ready
for harvest about the time our late fall
frosts appear, there will be nothing what
ever to contend against in keeping it over.
We must have a long season apple for sue
cess.
On several occasions we have made this
oteiltulSiIb tue CGpdFl-
ment of The GAZETTE. We now have be-
fore US 4 case in point fully establishing the
correctness of our position. The reader
will remember that we have more than
one. referred TO a small and very successful
irrigation experiment made by Mr.. Ma,
field, the grocer, on his place at the corner
of Belknap and Pecan streets, Fort Worth.
Some years ago Mr.. Mayfield bought from
adealer some apple trees, and this year one
of them which he bought for an early va
riety came into bearing, producing several
very pretty specimens. The tree was ex-
tremely thrifty under his good manage
1nent, in which figured liberal use of
water, but it didn't take long to show that
the variety was something entirely differ
ent from what he had contracted for It
was very late variety, and those apples
were fully ripe only about one week ago,
counting from this writing, November Il.
They are very fine, and so firm and perfect
that there coulG exist no reasonable doubt
of their keeping entirely well throughout
the winter.
We have not been able to refer Mr.. May
fields apple to any of the named winter va
rieties, and therefore. must conclude that

make themselves appear more southern in
winter by planting broad-leaf evergreens.
I agree with you. More Northern people
visit US in winter than in any other season
of nthe year. and they come with the ex-

it was no graft at all, for the shoddy tree

trees to give them an appearance on the

lovingly dwelt upon by Southern writers
are all farce. Please urge upon our peo-
pie the actual necessity of planting broad

Fort Worth, Tex.
The foregoing letter covers about the
whole case. We ought to plant broad-leaf
evergreens for the reason set forth by her,
and also for our own edifcation, for they
would greatly beautify a city at all seasons
and make it appear decidedly more cheer
full in winter. There are many species thai
we might plant with every assurance of m
tire success in almost any section of Texas.
1t costs no more to raise an evergreen tree
than it does deciduous tree-theGnly diff
ference at all in the cost lies in procuring
the young trees. Many of theuf might be
procured in our own forests no Very great

Such organizations have worked great good
for cities in other sections of our common
country, and there is no kind of sound rea-
son for believing that they could not be
made to do equally as much for cities in
Texas.
As a rule the trees we are now planting
are the very worst trees that could be
plan.ed-even the deciduous trees. The
cities usually stand on high lands, and the
trees planted in them are brought from
river or creek bottoms. AS a consequence
our trees are not at home and hence never
do well. We could easily get broad-leaf
evergreens from high localities in other re-
gions, and being entirely at home, so far as
relates to situation, they would flourish
from the very start. An amazing change
in the appearance of our cities might be
made within few years by planting suita-

FOWLS FOR THE FARMER.

Please allow reader and appreciation of
the agricultural department of THE GA
ZETTE to ask your opinion as to what breed
of blooded fowls would be best suited to the
needs of an ordinary farm2 l do not pro-
pose to go into the fancy poultry business,

and would like to get rid Of them and make

Mrs. B.
McLennan county, Tex.
The Plymouth Rocks are now at the top
of the notch as farm fowls. A late issue of
the Massachusetts Ploughman says of
them that there are no fowls which show to
better advantage on the farm than the Ply
mouth Rocks, and they have won de-
servedly high place both as layers and for
the table. They are large, handsome and
clean-looking, and this fact alone is worth
all it will cost to procure a flock of them in
place of the common mixed barn-yard flock.
Their care and feeding will cost no more
than the others, and they are sure to give a
better return. 1t is 4 little strange that a
farmer will take pains and go to large ex-
pense in order to have good horses, cattle,
sheep and hogs, and yet will be content
with flock of mongrel fowls when it is so
easy to have good ones. The fancier should
not attempt to be q poultry farmer, but it
is only good farming to keep one pure breed
for practical purposes.
